Hi I notice you tagged my contrib to the Yankees page that went like this: "In the United Kingdom, Yankees caps are extremely popular, even though the population has little to no interest in baseball as a sport. " with a citation needed. Was unsure what you want me to cite- the fact that Yankees caps are very popular in the UK, or the fact that the general UK population has little to no interest in baseball? Thanks. ] 13:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

:The first statement. Has this POV been written about? The best I can find is a Stanford article about Yankee fans in Dublin, and this, about which I'm unsure of the source. You must have read this somewhere if you're singling out the UK - otherwise it's just your opinion. Yankee caps are popular worldwide because American rappers and celebrities wear them. I like your addition and don't doubt that it's true (I've read message boards and blogs that talk about goofy Yankee cap-wearing Brits with no clue about what team's hat they're wearing), but it looks a bit like ]. If the article is to be featured we need to ensure it's well-sourced. ] 14:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

Mind giving a link to where on NHL.com Mikita's described as a Slovakian? I just went through the search function on the site and see nothing of the sort. Mikita was '''born''' in Slovakia, but emigrated to Canada when he was eight, is a Canadian citizen, and played internationally for Canada.

You are close to vandalism and this is why I use this term. That part was added more than two years ago, by . | |||
More than 40 registred users found this relevant to the plot : no one has ever erased it. In the last 24 hours, all of a sudden, two registred users (IllaZilla & you) disagree. So, you will need a large consensus to outnumber all these 40 wiki users including me. You wrote it is not sourced. If you don't know the film, it is explained in The Guardian why that part matters.. | |||
By the way, I'm gonna watch that article because I find suspicious that IllaZilla who added this part two years ago, suddendly changes his/her point of view because I had an issue about that subject yesterday. She/he has also rather undermined his/her position. As the two brand new opponents are very pettifogging, I'm afraid Im' gonna have to be it too. | |||

:First, if you're going to throw around the term "vandalism", you should probably take a minute and ensure that what you're calling ], is actually just that before you accuse other editors of it. | |||
:Secondly, even if 100,000 editors edited the article since that point of useless detail was added to the plot summary - editing an article without removing something is not an endorsement of the material that this there, nor does it imply there's a consensus on any of it - so your twisted view of having a ] couldn't be further from the truth. Tat section of the article (and Misplaced Pages in general) is not a playground for you to edit war in. Note that per ], "The plot summary is an overview of the film's main events, '''so avoid minutiae like dialogue, scene-by-scene breakdowns, and technical detail'''". The song that Curtis listened to before he hung himself is minutiae and is not a necessary detail in an encyclopedic summary of the film. The three basic elements of a story are plot, character and theme. Anything that is not necessary for a reader's understanding of these three elements, or is not widely recognized as an integral or iconic part of the work's notability, should not be included. | |||

Okay I see what you did.

:Regarding the edits in question - you added your own personal commentary on how ''This trade will likely put the Yank's over the hump. Abreu will be everyday right fielder and likely bat fifth. It moves long time Yank Bernie Williams and Aaron Guiel to the bench. Lidle is likely to go to the rotation beating out Sidney Ponson''. Speculation and opinion should be avoided here. Even in this instance, your speculation turned out to be wrong, as Bernie played last night even with Abreu in the lineup. Stick with verifiable facts. Attribute the opinion to a subject-matter expert, rather than merely state it or speculate it. Thanks. ] 18:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

Hey bud. Are you certain Phillips was involved in V3S? I had a friend who worked there (previously at EAS funnily) and although a shitload of EAS execs left to go work there I have never heard Bill was involved nor can I find any reference to this on the web. As V3s (now XELR8 or something) is a publicly traded company all their SEC filings are available so you'd think they'd be some reference to it. Also V3S hasn't ceased trading either to my knowledge.

The thing that confuses me is that Bill's non-compete ''hadn't'' expired in 2001, not till 2004 (when he sold his remaining 30% stock holding). It was then he launched ''Eat Right!'' or whatever its called. I will hunt through the mags, but if there are ads in magazines why are t-nation being so hush hush?

:I disagree - see the talk page. The context of their addition was based on prominance - not dominance.

Slovakia who has never won a medal since becoming it's own country and only has a handful of medals in World Championship play (which often does not include the World's best players due to the NHL playoffs - hurting smaller countries like the Swiss and Germans who have a few but prominant players in the NHL).

- Sorry, not an admin, can't help there. You could probably ask an admin to paste both in then re-lock it (or put them on a sub-page linked from your talk page). {{helpme}} or {{Editprotected}} would work (or WP:ANI, which arguably is the actual purpose of the page rather than just creating drama). I'm a big fan of citation templates, it means you always get a standard looking/formatted reference irrespective of contents. They're easy to use, and there's some tools to generate them from pubmed numbers, ISBNs and even websites (diberri is my fav). Ref name is also ridiculously easy to use, and saves you typing a lengthy template twice. Once you memorize both, which really isn't difficult since they're pretty self-explanatory), you save yourself a fair bit of work (and anyone using a print copy of the page has a much better job of it). And there's also a way to link to a specific page from google books if you adjust the url properly. I'm a referencing nerd. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 15:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I asked the admin who locked it for me. I'll try to do a better job of referencing next time. I was on a roll with regards to gathering sources for World Records, but I only had a small window of time to get the edits done before real life got in the way, so I dashed them off. Thanks again for the barnstars!
- That works too. If you tap some of the tools for citation templates, that can make it much easier to use 'em if you're on limited time but no matter what, even an author-year citation is better than nothing. One of my problems is the constant need to finish what I'm doing for a whole page (witness the history of satanic ritual abuse today - and this is despite my protestations of being busy). If I were a smarter man, I'd settle for half-assed and spare myself real-life grief. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 18:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

- Sorry, not an admin, can't help there. You could probably ask an admin to paste both in then re-lock it (or put them on a sub-page linked from your talk page). {{helpme}} or {{Editprotected}} would work (or WP:ANI, which arguably is the actual purpose of the page rather than just creating drama). I'm a big fan of citation templates, it means you always get a standard looking/formatted reference irrespective of contents.

Re:Edit to Natural bodybuilding
Hi Yankees76. Wow - My bad! I appreciate you letting me know. That was quite the error. -FASTILY 20:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
When did...
...you have your userpage deleted? GoodDay (talk) 20:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- January 2009. It was deleted before for about a year then and 10 minutes after I undeleted it, it was vandalised by my long-time Misplaced Pages stalker User:Messenger2010. So I had it re-deleted and locked. It makes me look like a noob, but it's better than having to remove vandalism from it everyday. --Yankees76 (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Why not get it permantely protected? GoodDay (talk) 20:31, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey TY for the Barnstar
CKG Billings was an easy article to improve - lotsa good pics - thank you for the barnstar - my first - Saa weet. Mark 19:47, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
The Barnstar of Diligence | |
For looking more closely than others and helping avoid the lazy route than I'd suggested at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/WebHamster. Glad to know there are critical minds out there to correct me when I'm wrong. Thanks. causa sui (talk) 20:42, 23 November 2011 (UTC) |
- Thanks! Most of the time the lazy route works, and it did quack loud enough to be a duck, just a different duck. --Yankees76 20:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Kudos
I admit that I have a difficult time being patient with SPA spammers, especially after they start making ridiculous accusations. Nice work with your patient and informative responses to this user. I'd give you a barnstar, but seeing that you just got one I don't want your head to get too big. :) OhNoitsJamie 15:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Northside
Please understand I am only correcting the facts. Northside as Dermo, Tim, Cliff and Wol have not played together since 1992. I am not trying to make problems for you or anybody else, it's just that the band means a great deal to me. I'm sorry if it seems like I am changing information just to disrupt the page but my only concern is putting the facts right. I was the singer in the band and know exactly what happened. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inthearea (talk • contribs) 14:25, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for nothing. Your information regarding Northside is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inthearea (talk • contribs) 14:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- You might have noticed that this is an encyclopedia, and that all material added to it needs to be referenced using reliable sources. It's not "my" information - I'm merely preventing the deletion of information that is referenced. If you believe that that information is incorrect, discuss it on the articles talk page before simply removing it without a valid reason. If you can cite a source that says the band in 2006 was merely Dermo and some session musicians, change the article to say that, don't simply delete the info because clearly a band billed as Northside played in Leeds in December 2006.--Yankees76 14:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Like I said, Northside split up in 1992. The information on the page about Northside playing in 2006 isn't true, it was the singer and some session men. The original classic line up of Dermo, Cliff, Tim and Wol have not played together since 1992.
- So you have a reliable source that says this? Good, add it to the page. If not, I'm not sure why you're here. By the way, it's not uncommon for bands to "reform" with one or two original members years after the original lineup has broken up, or for one band member to carry on using the bands name. Either way, material related to that band, full lineup or not, is still added to the article on the band. You might have heard of a band called Guns n' Roses who've done this? Well, Axl Rose hasn't gone on the Misplaced Pages page and removed all the material from 1994 onwards because it isn't about the original lineup. Work with me here ok? --Yankees76 15:11, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Sarnia
Hi, Yankees76,
I've worked hard on the Sarnia article the last two days and feel it's at least B-Class now, with only small mods needed to be a GA Article like London, Ontaro. London is five times the size of Sarnia so it will have correspondingly more stuff in its article than we will. Any more suggestions you have are always welcome...Thanks much for the help so far!TheKurgan (talk) 19:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Looks good! Sorry I've been away from Misplaced Pages for a couple days. I just read it quickly. I guess my only critque is that you don't have to refer to other sections of the article (things like "The companies referenced above in the Development section") as sections headers and the location of text is often changed or moved by editors who haven't read the rest of the article, and your sentence could confuse readers. I fixed this one, but I'm not sure if it's elsewhere in the article. I'll look through again when I have some more time and tweak anything else. Nice work :) --Yankees76 17:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Talkback
Hello, Yankees76. You have new messages at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Sarnia/archive2.You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Our discussion
OK, just so I don't upset you needlessly, you edited your talk page with " (→Vandalism: go away)." I take that to mean you telling me to go away. If this is so, I won't bother you anymore. If I misread it, tell me. Otherwise, you won't hear from me again.TheKurgan (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Nah we're good. I actually "watched" your talk page (and I rarely do that) and saw your reply to my post there, so the double post here threw me off.
- I guess to respond, yeah the guy changed the article to make (presumably) himself mayor. Again, please read and use WP:AGF. Maybe he really thinks that the mayor is "Mike Sawczuk " or he made an error, or a test and didn't know how to undo it. Alot of people make edits and instead of hitting preview, they click "Save Page" and can't fix it. Just revert the edit. If you want, send him a friendly "warning" on this talk page and move on. If he comes back and does it again, warn him again. If he becomes disruptive, tell an admin and he/she will decide if they need to be blocked. My point is, we don't call out people as vandals or keep running tallies. It just encourages more vandalism. Most test edits just get reverted and that's the end of it. Hope that helps. --Yankees76 21:18, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Quite a bit, actually. Thanks, Yankees76! You're right, of course. Glad we're all right...:) BTW, how does the article look now, IYHO?TheKurgan (talk) 01:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Iggy pop's The Idiot on Control (2007 film)
You are close to vandalism and this is why I use this term. That part was added more than two years ago, on 2 May 2010, see here by IllaZilla. More than 40 registred users found this relevant to the plot : no one has ever erased it. In the last 24 hours, all of a sudden, two registred users (IllaZilla & you) disagree. So, you will need a large consensus to outnumber all these 40 wiki users including me. You wrote it is not sourced. If you don't know the film, it is explained in The Guardian why that part matters.see here.
By the way, I'm gonna watch that article because I find suspicious that IllaZilla who added this part two years ago, suddendly changes his/her point of view because I had an issue about that subject yesterday. She/he has also rather undermined his/her position. As the two brand new opponents are very pettifogging, I'm afraid Im' gonna have to be it too. Carliertwo (talk) 14 August 2012.
- First, if you're going to throw around the term "vandalism", you should probably take a minute and ensure that what you're calling vandalism, is actually just that before you accuse other editors of it.
- Secondly, even if 100,000 editors edited the article since that point of useless detail was added to the plot summary - editing an article without removing something is not an endorsement of the material that this there, nor does it imply there's a consensus on any of it - so your twisted view of having a consensus couldn't be further from the truth. Tat section of the article (and Misplaced Pages in general) is not a playground for you to edit war in. Note that per WP:FILMPLOT, "The plot summary is an overview of the film's main events, so avoid minutiae like dialogue, scene-by-scene breakdowns, and technical detail". The song that Curtis listened to before he hung himself is minutiae and is not a necessary detail in an encyclopedic summary of the film. The three basic elements of a story are plot, character and theme. Anything that is not necessary for a reader's understanding of these three elements, or is not widely recognized as an integral or iconic part of the work's notability, should not be included.
- You've been asked repeatedly to discuss your edits on the talk page, so further reverts/edit warring will considered disruptive and further action will be taken. --Yankees76 17:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Carliertwo
Hi,
A couple weeks ago I went through each article for Siouxsie and the Banshees' studio albums and put the ratings boxes back in. Why they were taken out in the 1st place baffles me since almost every other album article on Wiki has them. Still Carliertwo undid my revisions shortly after I put them back in. I just left a message on his talk page asking why he did that before I went about reverting his edits but then noticed you had left him a message about edit warring. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on this matter. Should I go ahead and revert his edits or wait until I hear back from him to avoid a dispute? Shaneymike (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Just revert and invite discussion on the talk page of that article. It will also allow other editors to comment. --Yankees76 19:12, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Will do. Thanks. :)Shaneymike (talk) 00:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and put all the ratings boxes back into each article and left a message asking Carliertwo to provide an explanation here should he remove them again, though something tells me it won't do any good. From what I've seen with this guy it's in one ear and out the other. He removed that section you added to his talk page about edit warring. Shaneymike (talk) 01:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- WP:AGF - the system will work. Just start the conversation on the talk page, others will join in and a consensus will be reached on the issue. If he continues to edit war, he'll be reported to WP:AN3 and may also be blocked. Also, he's allowed to remove warnings from his own talk page. It basically tells me he's read them. They're still there in the history should an administrator need to see past behavior when deciding if further warnings are needed, or if he needs to be temporarily blocked to cool him down. --Yankees76 12:44, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hand-coding
Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office . Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Genre Help
Hi,Yankees76 I heard you are real good with reliable sources so can you help me? A user on http://en.wikipedia.org/My_Happy_Ending Keeps insisting that Happy ending is Post-Grunge even though Allmusic no longer lists it as such. He keeps using an outdated source of Allmusic which I don't think is reliable as the present source.--Greaymarshess (talk) 23:57, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hey there's nothing wrong with used archived websites as sources. I'm sure that if the single is obviously post-grunge, there should be other sources that list it as such aside from allmusic. You should work with the other editors to locate such a source. WP:DEADREF suggests finding a different source that says essentially the same thing as the reference in question. However, you should note though that allmusic does still list Avril as post-grunge.. The citation that the other editor is using for the archived version of allmusic should use the archiveurl= and archivedate= parameters in the citation template as well. Not sure if that helps, but really there's not much to be done here. --Yankees76 03:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah you are right it's always good to have a second opinion on rather a genre really applys to a certain release.I will bring this up with him,If he is able to find another Reliable source that lists this as Post-Grunge then I'll be perfectly fine with him adding it back.--Greaymarshess (talk) 07:04, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
André A. Jackson
I'm convinced that this article is an elaborate hoax, I'm gathering evidence for an AFD. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 01:21, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- I looked into it a few years back, and I think it would be a waste of your time. As odd as he sounds, he actually exists. If it's a hoax, it's a VERY elaborate one. Goofy name, claims of an 8 million dollar car, friends with Carl Lewis - it's pretty much all true. The article is poorly sourced and badly written, but you won't get it deleted. He's notable enough to pass WP:BIO Yankees76
- Its just not true! Article written by a single user that relies on references that are self editable. Then journos google "Andre Jackson" after the Carl Lewis docu, read wiki and print in reliable sources that he is a diamond merch. Its a horrible self referencing disaster. His invention of the African Diamond Council to trump the ADPA is equally maddening. The car has no original source save wiki. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:31, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- I don't buy that. Even in a 10 minute search, there's too many Google hits, press releases, speaker lists and even self published blogs from various industry people with information that's not even on the Misplaced Pages article for Jackson to be a hoax built around Misplaced Pages. I did the AFD thing in the 2008 and another happened in 2006. Result was keep. You can do what you like, but I'm not really going to spend any more time or effort on proving or disproving your theory. Yankees76

FM Attack moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, FM Attack, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep 00:04, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- As fun as it would be to spend another couple hours here adding sources to justify a page for one of the leaders of an entire music genre, that's not going to happen. The notability guidelines are outdated now like they were 16 years ago when I started editing here. He has 111k monthly listeners on Spotify, millions of views on YouTube through New Retro Wave and his own channels - yet no page here because he's not notable? Right. I've seen some pretty obscure artists posted here over the years - like say Criteria_(band) which has been flagged since 2011. This article was clearly a stub and could have stayed live to let others edit and expand it with more sources. I'll never finish it though. Cheers. Yankees76 21:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
