Obligatory things:

• Be civil.
• Be patient if you require a response. I'll try and reply ASAP, but that may sometimes be a day or two.
• Don't edit the comments of others.

from archive 5

Please understand that I, revert a lot of edits like that every day. And by edits like that I mean, edits that sound slanderous but at the same time COULD be true. I don't have time to look it up in every case, so I remove it. The automatic messages you receive tell you why you have been reverted and I'm now asking you to please include sources if there is even a slight chance information you add could be questionable and also to keep your wording as neutral as possible. Attacking me is not doing you a service here, I'm telling you how to correct this and believe me when I say I don't have to help you, but I am. —Frosty ☃ 00:23, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

It needs to be available in the form of a link to an external website. —Frosty ☃ 00:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

They should when it comes to potential libel against a significant person. —Frosty ☃ 00:44, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

You have no evidence, no sources and it's still slander. I am just repeating myself here, you need something more than just the claim you are some person (which I have no way of knowing if you actually are) coupled with half a sentence of anger in an article. —Frosty ☃ 00:56, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Source information does not have to be available online or linkable, but you need to identify the source so other people are able to verify the claim if they want. If your source is a court decision, see Legal citation for how to reference that court case and Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for why we need to identify our sources. Please keep in mind that it's not just about being able to reference a source - the information has to be relevant to the subject. The claim of adultery does not seem to be relevant to information about the Trophy, but it would be relevant on the referee's biography page (if it existed). If the claims have caused a scandal affecting the Association, resulting in a court case and media coverage, then such information might be added to the Association's page under its own heading.

I fully see your point cretus, and your explanation has made more sense to me than the previous entry's. I fully understand Frosty's point now 86.152.18.72 (talk) 20:18, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Fargo to Faggot

On undoing the change i made to the Mig-15 article it was a spelling change. It should read Fagot instead of Fargo that is listed in the Design and Development section of the article. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_NATO_reporting_names_for_fighter_aircraft

Ok, please use an edit summary in the future, it is really helpful to recent changes patrollers. —Frosty ☃ 04:16, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

The information already present explained the term well enough, your addition seemed unnecessary and silly. —Frosty ☃ 06:53, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

YAHWEH

Hey Frosty! I understand my edit to the page YAHWEH may not seem constructive, for I replaced all the content. But I noticed that most of the content in the article was false, and I was lead to reproof the article. Please revert the page to my edit :) --Jesus Christ loves you

I'm not going to restore it seeing as how it is not constructive. —Frosty ☃ 04:42, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

I did this late at night and wasn't able to add much information to the page. If I was to add much more information to it (I had very little content previously) could you please consider allowing my edit to pass? --Jesus Christ loves you

Emily is the love of my life, and I'm trying to do sumthing. Really meaningful for her, GRONK is her favorite player and I want to show her I'd move mountains for her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camdanger (talk • contribs)

Vandalizing Misplaced Pages is hardly moving mountains. Try writing a song, bound to be way more effective. —Frosty ☃ 06:10, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

U r cool

Thanks! —Frosty ☃ 21:50, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank You! Here's A Pie For You!

JBeags Thanks for fixing my page, some of my classmates changed it to try to be funny, I'm glad you fixed it, how did you get to it so fast? JBeags (talk) 23:04, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Not a problem, via WP:HUGGLE it picks up on vandalism pretty quick. —Frosty ☃ 23:05, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

How does it know what's vandalism and what's not? Does it filter words? JBeags (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Not sure exactly how, but it assigns a number score to edits on the Wiki. The higher the number the more likely it is vandalism. It's based around key words, age of the account, has the user been warned about vandalism before, etc. But that's probably simplifying it a lot. —Frosty ☃ 00:26, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Batman vs Superman

Hello!

It is against Misplaced Pages rules to accuse people of vandalism when no such vandalism has taken place and could result in you having a 'meeting' with some wiki higher ups. I made the edit in order to see what my ip address was in order to check recent edits. Unfortunately by the time the edit was confirmed on my screen I already had a message on my talk page, meaning I was unable to revert. As such, what I did was clearly not vandalism.

Kind regards, a very tired ip address (which the wiki bot will sign anyway) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.222.229.123 (talk • contribs)

Oh I see. For future reference, please conduct edit tests in the sandbox. You can also check contributions from your IP via Special:MyContributions. —Frosty ☃ 05:12, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Andres Iniesta Height is incorrect

It is supposed to be 171cm or 5ft 7 inches" Source: http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/staff/players/a-iniesta Thanks! Subhrajit

Oh, I only reverted because of the ref tags that stuffed up the formatting (I assumed you were testing edits). Feel free to correct the height, just be careful not to add extra markup. Using the preview button helps. :) —Frosty ☃ 06:44, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry if I messed up, my friend was fooling around on it and I wasn't paying attention. I don't know what she did but I apologize. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.141.94 (talk • contribs)

It's alright, it was easy fixed. —Frosty ☃ 22:15, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright

I think your violating copyright — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robotypeedit (talk • contribs)

Where and how? —Frosty ☃ 02:13, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, in regards to my reverted comment, I do say that Harry Reid is a National Socialist and will stick to my beliefs. Good day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zraymond (talk • contribs)

But you would need a source on that to make that claim. You also vandalized a name to "Dick Butt". Please cease vandalizing, you are however welcome to contribute constructively. —Frosty ☃ 10:07, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

IDGAFOS

You didnt accept my correction but unfortunately I got true ! Have a look on Internet about this song ! Its "I drive Girls Around For Oral Sex" NOT "I don't give a fuck or shit" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.60.115.110 (talk • contribs)

You would need to verify such a claim with a reliable source. —Frosty ☃ 22:30, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Stan Collymore

Frosty - how can a wife beater, a pyromaniac, a person who threatens to murder women not be a tw@t. By removing my text you are in agreement of that individual not being a tw@t. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.228.3.188 (talk • contribs)

His article on Misplaced Pages should be about his career and why he is notable. Yes, it is apparent that he did those things you mentioned, but making reference to them in the article (which has already been done) is enough. It doesn't matter how terrible a person is, we don't slap insults into their article. —Frosty ☃ 22:34, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

semiprotection?

If you want your user talk page semi-protected, feel free to ask. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Nah it's fine, a lot of new users/anonymous users do have genuine questions and other stuff they want to run past me. Not going to lock them out, based on the actions of a few vandals. —Frosty ☃ 04:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Dont try to change it again please

Information icon Hello, I'm Frosty. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to 11th Field Artillery Regiment because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. —Frosty ☃ 03:57, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your infromation. I was asked by my leadership of the 11th Field Artillery Regiment to remove the article as it contained information that we cannot post online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmak421 (talk • contribs) 20:43, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Ok, please use edit summaries when removing large portions of articles in the future. Thanks. —Frosty ☃ 21:13, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry frosty i shall stop. :)

It's alright, happy editing. —Frosty ☃ 05:21, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

WHY??

	SAD :( (made me sad!!!)
	This is sooooooooooooooo bad u just edited my stuff :( it was bcoz me myself didn't know wht a covalent bond was and ppl need to lookup here only when they don't know about stuff!!! :( I am not abusing or angry just sad Epicflora (talk) 05:43, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

There was an interwiki link to the Covalent Bond article already present in that sentence. If people wanted to know information about Covalent Bonds, all they would have to do is follow that link. There is really no need to include definitions in articles, all you need to do is link to the word you are defining with an interwiki link. —Frosty ☃ 22:10, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Rebuttal on Update 11/28/2014

Frosty,

You said that my edits to the Second Invasion of Manchuria were redundant because I used Joseon instead of Korea. However, in the historical context, there was no "Korea" during that time period. The use of Korea did not come into existence until the the modern age and so, during that time people living on the Korean peninsula would identify themselves as Joseon. As such, I believe my original changes should be reinstated in order to articulate a more historically accurate description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.131.216 (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Hmmmmm perhaps you are right. However, the country used in the text should match that of the title. IMO, your best course of action would be to open a discussion about moving the page and changing the name within the text. However, at the current title it may confuse some readers if you alter the text. —Frosty ☃ 06:01, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Good for you, but please stop vandalizing pages with this fact. —Frosty ☃ 04:24, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Brian Babin

FROSTY,

In regard to the Brian Babin wiki page - please see the ongoing dispute in the Brian Babin:talk page

Thanks Wikiblanks (talk) 01:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, you need to use edit summaries when blanking content. Something quick and simple like "as per talk page discussion", other wise it just looks like blankign to recent changes patrollers. —Frosty ☃ 02:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
