Sunday

You have a nice name, - I had a nice Sunday until I read the templated warnings you left on a friend's page. Louder than Words. Do you understand "This is correct.as tagged, it needs a citation, but not removal." Did you even see it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for complimenting my name. I leave warnings when they are called for, so whoever your friend is deserved the warning. Sorry it bothered you. Have a good day. Sundayclose (talk) 21:02, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

What bothers me is not that he is my friend but that you seem not to understand that the request to cite a fact is an invitation to find a reference, not to remove the fact, as you did. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm not going to argue with you, so if you can't accept my answer there's no need to reply. CN tags are placed after the fact when another editor previously put unsourced material into an article. CN tags are not to be placed by editors who want to add anything they wish to an article and are too lazy to find a reliable source. Otherwise anyone can add anything to an article simply by placing a CN tag; if I want to add a statement to Moon stating that "the moon is made of cheese", I can do so as long as I place a CN tag after it. If you disagree, don't reply here. Instead read WP:V ("Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed") and WP:BURDEN ("The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution"). Now, I again am sorry if I caused you any distress by placing legitimate warning templates, but if you cannot accept my explanation please don't waste my time and yours by seeking a debate here. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

RfC of interest

Hello! This is to let you know that there is a current Request for Comment on a topic which you previously commented on. The RfC is at Talk:List of European cities by population. The question is, "In articles which rank European cities or countries in order by population or area, should the entire city or country be counted, or only the portion which is in Europe?" Your input there would be appreciated. MelanieN (talk) 15:37, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback

Thank you for giving me those suggestions. This is a learning stretch for me. Are you a Misplaced Pages Content Expert? I was looking for one when my sentences disappeared. I was having issues trying to add my citation with the citation builder. I want to try to add the sentences again with the appropriate citation. Would you mind looking at it again to see if it is done correctly? I am working on it now, and should be finished in a few minutes. I have also added a note on the talk page for the Piaget article and a help me note on my talk page.M02000297 (talk) 21:50, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

As far as I see you did the citation correctly. Your comment on Piaget's talk page clarifies things. Since I now know that you will be working on this for a while as far as I'm concerned we can see how it turns out later and then I can make suggestions if necessary. BTW, some editors are quick to revert without checking the talk page (I've been guilty of that at times). As you make edits, you might occasionally mention your talk page comment so editors will know to check it before reverting. Sorry, I'm not a Misplaced Pages Content Expert. Good luck!

Minor edits problem

Hi, since you see a problem sufficiently big to block me, can you please point out which of my edits shouldn't be marked minor. My understanding is that when adding to information or changing information in an article it's not marked minor. If it's syntax or turning a list say, into prose, or putting an unbroken article into sections or giving it wiki layout etc, including picking up typos, missing words, fixing or making links, they're all minor edits. Has something changed that means I am required to negotiate every change on the talk page. There isn't much evidence for this in general... Or are you an editor in the habit of biting the unwary, with only two notices. Either way I need a simple guide, thanks. Manytexts (talk) 23:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

PS if it's about changing worded numbers into digits I understand either is acceptable & I change them occasionally because the former slows my reading pace.

I just checked Tim the Yowie Man & didn't realise that I marked minor when I obviously added material. Sorry about that. Can you show me what else I've miss-marked? thanks Manytexts (talk) 00:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

It would help a lot if you would go to just a little trouble and read WP:MINOR thoroughly, taking special notice of the statement "If you are in doubt about whether an edit is minor or not, it is always safer not to mark it as minor." An overarching issue should be: if there is even a slight possibility someone might challenge your edit, don't mark it as minor. Adding (or removing) a reference citation, as you did here, is not a minor edit. Note that you also changed content, including a section header, even though it was just a few words. Someone might wish to challenge your selection of a citation; that's not minor. Someone might not agree with the section header you selected. Someone might not think your example in that edit accurately represents the concept. This is just one edit with several items that are not minor. There are others. Let me suggest that you not mark any edit as minor unless you correct spelling, grammar, or formatting. As you gain more experience, you might aquire a better grasp of what is minor, but right now you tend to think edits that change or add content are minor; and such edits are almost never minor. Again, if in doubt, don't mark it as minor. Sundayclose (talk) 02:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks that helps a lot. I get it now & I like having the default to not checking off minor. Manytexts (talk) 07:09, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello

Before you block me from editing wikipedia why don't you show me the reliable source that says Kath Soucie was born in Cleveland, Ohio because most sources point to her place of birth being New York City. Wikiman103 talk 14:46, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Do you bother to check sources already cited in an article before changing the article? Do you read edit summaries, specifically this one? Let me try to make this as simple as I can: Go to Kath Soucie#Career. Find citation number 2 immediately after the sentence "Soucie was born in Cleveland, Ohio". Click on that citation, which will take you down to the References section. Click the link to the Hischak source in #2. Read. I hope that's simple enough. Sundayclose (talk) 19:16, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for pointing that out, and it seems like the source that says she was born in Cleveland is legit especially it being in a book, but however a another good source know as imdb.com says she was born in New York City, and she couldn't have been born in both places, so one of the sources has to be false information. Wikiman103 talk 14:51, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

IMDb is not a reliable source. See WP:RS/IMDB. Sundayclose (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Ok, but to be honest Misplaced Pages isn't always a reliable source either. Wikiman103 talk 17:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages does not claim to be a reliable source because there is no professional editorial control, which is why IMDb is not reliable. See WP:Academic use and Reliability of Misplaced Pages. But it's comprehensive and free. Sundayclose (talk) 00:04, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

14th Dalai Lama, your deletion of my earlier post as "unreliable"

Hi there Sundayclose, thanks for your attention to this article but I do feel obliged to question your deletion of my post as 'unsourced' or 'unreliably sourced'. The citation I have given for my post is perfectly reliable. The book I cite, of which I have a copy to hand, is published by Rider/Renguin Random House group and co-authored by the well-known Tibetan statesman Gyalo Thondup who is also the elder brother and political mentor of the 14th Dalai Lama and Anne F. Thurston who is editor/co-author of the worldwide bestseller The Private Life of Chairman Mao and author of Enemies of the People and several other specialist reference books on China. How more reliable can get be than that, and on what basis can you presume to delete the entire book details from the bibliography? The post I inserted uses the exact words of the authors but not verbatim. As such, can you please kindly show cause how this citation from such an impeccable source is, in your opinion, unreliable. In case I inappropriately used the brief book citation template, and you don't like that, I have changed it to use the formal detailed book citation template and included a full quotation of the relevant passage, hopefully to dispel any further doubts in your mind, and I trust this does the trick. If I have done something else wrong, that I still don't understand, please let me know what, exactly, and I will try to correct it. Many thanks indeed, MacPraughan (talk) 22:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Actually if you read my edit summary, it says "inadequately sourced" because you simply gave an author, date, and page number. If it had remained with that citation, the information could not be verified. But I see that you have now provided a complete citation, so there is no problem. Thanks for your contributions. Sundayclose (talk) 22:24, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Actually, what you wrote in your message to me, your message to which I was responding, was (and I quote)"you made a change to an article, 14th Dalai Lama, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed..."

I also beg to differ, in that the information could have easily been verified by referring to the cited age in the book listed alphabetically in the Bibliography identified by the authors' names, with date and page number where the information was given; at least, it could until you just deleted the book from the Bibliography as 'inadequately sourced'!

Had you looked at the details of the book which I had entered under "Bibliography", instead of just deleting it as unreliable without actually checking, perhaps you would not have been so hasty to condemn my post as 'unreliable' - or 'inadequately sourced' for that matter. You would have seen that Gyalo Thondup was an eyewitness to the event related, which he had described in his book in his own words. What is more reliable and more adequate? Anyway, I am glad that you now concede that the post was both reliably and adequately sourced, so yes, there is no problem. Thank you for your interest.MacPraughan (talk) 10:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

If I offended you by leaving a standard template that is widely used on Misplaced Pages I apologize. If you think I somehow violated Misplaced Pages norms your next step should be to address the matter at WP:ANI. Now, we are finished discussing this issue. Thank you again for your contributions. Please don't message me about this matter again, including a response to this message, and I will do the same after I notify you about my response. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 13:29, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Fixing my own credits

Seeing as how people rely on Misplaced Pages for its perceived accuracy, I've taken it upon myself to correct inaccuracies in my own Misplaced Pages page since, arguably, I'd know my own credits better than anyone. For example, no matter how much someone insists I had an uncredited role in "Wreck-It Ralph," the fact remains I never received a paycheck from that film because I wasn't in it. If I can't fix such blatant errors, who can? Doesn't accuracy trump perceived conflict of interest? I'm not adding anthing new, I'm removing things that never were.Itsamike (talk) 20:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)--Mike Pollock, https://en.wikipedia.org/Mike_Pollock

Thanks for your comments. I see your point. Maybe I jumped the gun in leaving you the COI template; if so I apologize. As long as you don't add anything unsourced or try to slant the article toward an unjustified point of view, then you're not violating policy, including the one about COI. COI is a pet peeve of mine. A few years ago Amy Fisher tried making massive and unsubstantiated changes to her article. That doesn't appear to be your agenda. But it doesn't just happen with celebrities. There's a lot of COI added to Misplaced Pages by people with an interest in promoting their business or products. Anyway, thanks for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. BTW, I left yet another warning for the latest culprit on your article, anon 73.29.184.78. A problem with anon IPs, unlike registered users, is that their warnings become "stale" so administrators are hesitant to block them. If this one continues let me know and I'll take it to WP:ANI to get a block if I can. By the way, you may already know about the WP:3RR rule; don't revert on the same article more than three times in 24 hours, even if you're correcting an error. That could get you a block, but message me and I'll help out if I can. Sundayclose (talk) 21:25, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Understood. My main objective is to fix a couple of persistent mis-credits that follow me all over the Internet. They end up propagating to the IMDb and various series-related Wikis with everyone crediting Misplaced Pages as a source. Beyond that I'm more than happy to let Misplaced Pages users have their way with the page (within reason of course, like the Anon IP you mentioned). And I hadn't known about WP:3RR, but I do now and I'll use appropriate restraint in the future. Thanks. Itsamike (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2015 (UTC) My page is apparently being vandalized. "Charizard X" isn't a thing. The vandal is goofing on "Sonic X" in the previous row. Note the parallel character name structure. Thanks. Itsamike (talk) 17:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC) Same goes for "Charizard Boom." Not a thing. Itsamike (talk) 17:54, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

It looks like someone else fixed and warned the user. If it persists let me know. Sundayclose (talk) 23:14, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Inline external links

Sundayclose, What is your objection to 'inline external links' in MagicChef for example?

It's not my objection. It is contrary to Misplaced Pages's manual of style. See WP:CITE for correct citing of sources. And to make matters worse, your link to CNA International doesn't confirm the statement you made in the article. Sundayclose (talk) 22:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

John Cena - Editorial

Sundayclose, While in retrospect I can agree with it not being a minor edit, but the editorial I took out was and is just that. It is someone's opinion that really has nothing to do with the surrounding text. "I know how John Cena feuds tend to work. He loses one match, then wins the next two or three. Look at Rusev and Bray Wyatt as examples. These feuds don't really help talent." How much more opinion do you get? Why not just write John Cena indiscriminately buries talent? It has absolutely no value in a biographical encyclopedia entry ThaRock1976 (talk) 20:52, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

The quotation is an opinion. Many quotations on Misplaced Pages are opinions. But they are not necessarily an opinion of a Misplaced Pages editor. And it isn't necessarily my opinion. I didn't restore the quotation because I have some vested interest in portraying Cena one way or the other; I really don't have an opinion about him. I could argue that your desire to remove the quotation is POV, but I'm not. I'm simply stating that the quotation is relevant to the article. If an editor had simply inserted an unsourced comment about Cena's feuds, that would be unsourced POV. But it is a sourced quotation, and it does in fact relate to the text of the article. The article discusses numerous feuds. This is a content dispute. There are no Misplaced Pages policies involved. Get consensus on the article's talk page before removing the quotation again. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 21:44, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Marilyn Monroe

Hello. Why did you revert ? You mentionned "Unsourced". Look at Meanings of minor planet names: 3501–4000. Regards.--Io Herodotus (talk) 22:06, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

You wikilinked List of minor planets/3001–4000, which only names the asteroid; it does not explain the origin of the name. That's why I reverted. But I clicked the link provided above and discovered that almost the entire article is unsourced. So then I clicked 3768 Monroe, only to discover that it redirects to List of minor planets/3001–4000. We clearly have a problem with WP:CIRCULAR and WP:V. But I restored your edit. I hope you will change the wikilink to the better article that mentions her name. I don't doubt your good faith, but frankly I was appalled at such poor sourcing. Sundayclose (talk) 01:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

OK I changed it.--Io Herodotus (talk) 15:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Iron Maiden – Killers

Hi,

I just visited Killers album's article and checked the revisions. Your last revision caught my attention. The person was right an you were wrong for undoing his edit. It is indeed stated Live at the Marquee, London 4 July 1980 on the releases of the single. Proofs that it's true – 1, 2 and 3 (image called Booklet). I'm going to undo your edit and please try to do some research before undoing edits.

Citations to sources belong in the article, not edit summaries. See WP:CITE. And please read policies before undoing edits. Sundayclose (talk) 16:07, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

I see you didn't even bother to look at sources which are there for a long time. It is clearly STATED in those sources where all those live tracks were recorded. – Sabbatino (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

I see you didn't even bother to read my reply above or click the links to read policy. So until you do, here's another message: Stay off of my talk page, including a reply to this message. And if you have thoughts of not honoring that request, here's another policy: WP:Harassment#User space harassment; one more message here and you'll be blocked from editing. If you have any doubt about who is responsible for appropriate citations, read WP:BURDEN. If you have issues with the article in question, address them on the article's talk page.

AIV report

The user has over 13,000 edits since late 2011, and a clean block log. That alone should tell you AIV is not the right place, unless the account has been compromised — MusikAnimal 21:09, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

OK, so after I rack up 13,000 edits (without a single edit summary or attempt to discuss removal of appropriate content), and after dozens of warnings from numerous editors, I can then remove anything from any article that I wish with impunity. Sorry, that's bull. Don't get me wrong; I think the vast majority of admins do an admirable job with a thankless job, but sometimes a few go out of their way to protect vandals. No need to respond here at this time, but please keep any eye on MisterMorton's edits and see if anything changes. When it doesn't, I'll accept your acknowledgement that you made an error in judgment (albeit in good faith, still an error in judgment). Sundayclose (talk) 22:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

I agree with MusikAnimal that the case is too complicated to have been appropriate for AIV. That doesn't mean he can get away scot-free – it means it requires more careful review in a more appropriate venue. AIV is for obvious cases that can be quickly handled. I considered this one more carefully than I would for a typical vandal. — Capt'n Earwig  18:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit to Jerry Lee Lewis

Please don't make me bring up basic policies of verifiability in response to this. There's been enough genre warring at that article. If there ever was a consensus at this article, then it should have been based in sources that would support those genre. Please cite them instead of restoring more unsourced material to an article littered with it. Dan56 (talk) 14:00, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Pot calling the kettle black. No one has genre warred any more than you have: , . And from the looks of your block log you seem to have a habit of edit warring in general. Discussion of the issue of genres is perfectly OK. But I don't care to waste any more of my time on your hypocrisy of pointing out policies to others that you yourself have violated in the same article and accusing others of the very same behavior that you have displayed. If you have other issues with Jerry Lee Lewis take it up on the article's talk page. Don't message me here again. Sundayclose (talk) 20:07, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Untitled1

Hi sunday! THank you for taking the time to review my edits. The 10 key issue areas are listed in the about section of the one billion acts of peace campaign, I don't understand how they aren't in the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wroeththo (talk • contribs) 17:18, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

First of all, new messages go at the bottom of a talk page, not under the first section header. Secondly, you took quite a few liberties in wording the 10 issues, so much so that I question their accuracy. Thirdly, there are two citations to the information about the Nobel Prize nomination: one has almost no identifying information; the other one doesn't confirm what you wrote. Fourthly, don't put citations at the end of headings; put them at the end of a sentence or at the end of a section. Before you edit Misplaced Pages any more, please thoroughly read: WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE.

Hi again, can I ask what the issues were with that last edit? The sources all included something about the 1baop campaign. You asked for more info on the Nobel Peace Prize nomination and I found a copy of the nomination letter by Desmond Tutu - this is about as accurate of a source as a person can get isn't it? You said that the ten issues areas didn't match the source, so I found multiple sources that the issues areas all match up with. Now if you'd like a larger variety of sources like books, then say so, maybe remove the questionable sources, but I don't think that these edits are justified by removing encyclopedic wording that there are lots of sources for. Everything you asked for in the first post was done by the second post. I thank you for your edits and I don't like arguing, I'm confused as to how doing what you asked for the first time results in even more edits.

GTS Popoff investigation

Hello Sundayclose,
You reverted my recent additions to Michael Marshall (skeptic), Peter Popoff and Good Thinking Society because they were 'poorly written' in your view. I'm not a native English speaker as you can see on my profile, so it's quite possible I'll make mistakes on occasion. Reverting my entire edits (including other unrelated previous edits) seems a bit unwarranted though, but ok. I asked two of my native English speaking friends for advice, and they were able to spot two grammatical errors that I've now corrected. I hope this will satisfy you, and if not, please (indicate how you would) rephrase it yourself, and if you like please explain why, so I can learn from it. Thanks in advance!

Hello Sundayclose,
I am unsure how I am supposed to give references to my additions. I state, correctly, that the band the Sisters of Mercy is based on a song of the same name.

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Assassination of Abraham Lincoln". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 10 October 2015.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hardness of hearing

"Hard of hearing" is an adjective, not a noun. Compare "deaf" and "deafness." "Hardness of hearing" is correct. You wouldn't say "I am afflicted with 'hard of hearing.'" 73.172.99.131 (talk) 23:49, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Reversion of SCI Camp Hill article

Hello Sundayclose: Why the reversion to this article? It adds history and background for the facility and cannot be considered vandalism. The citations and references are pending, as most of the background events predate collection on the web. (Local newspaper is not archived to the 1940s-1990s.)

If this is the error of an inexperienced contributor, my apologies, but the contribution is factual based on personal acquaintance with the Harrisburg, PA, region.

Man17018 (talk) 16:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

No apology needed. We all have been inexperienced at some time. I appreciate your good faith efforts, but a core policy on Misplaced Pages is that all information should be verifiable with reliable source. Information based on personal knowledge that cannot be verified with a reliable, secondary source is not allowed. It's not acceptable for citations to be "pending" because often pending citations never get added. Once you are able to add the citations I think you can make some important improvements to the article. For help on how to do all of this, click the blue links in this message. Thanks for adding to the project. Sundayclose (talk) 20:41, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hurricane Patricia (disambiguation page)

Can you please stop reverting my edits on Hurricane Patricia (disambiguation), many reliable sources are already given in the main article so there is no need to cite the same sources again. Please read WP:DABREF Disambiguation pages usually do not need sources, most disambiguation pages here on Misplaced Pages don't need to repeat the sources that are already listed in the more detailed article. And if you check on many disambiguation pages for hurricane names you will find the same unsourced material, but that does not mean that it is not valid, or that it has not been previously sourced on each main article. You are also falsely stating that I am publishing unsourced material, and that is clearly not true. 181.209.246.164 (talk) 23:36, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Leave an edit summary, please

Any explanation about this  ?--IllusIon (talk) 19:19, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

My bad, thanks for the edit summary. What about the second part, i.e. the letters of Lentulus, Pilate and John of Damascus?-IllusIon (talk) 19:36, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

All sources rely solely on Lentulus, which has dubious reliability. Don't add the information without first discussing on talk page and getting consensus. Sundayclose (talk) 19:40, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Lentulus'description is of especial importance, whether it is authenthical or not, because it has been the introduction for most artists, a citation from a better source should fit. The letters of Pilate and John of Damascus are generally considered authentical, or you dispute this? Should I question the last two on talk page as well? --IllusIon (talk) 20:05, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

As I have already said, take your case to the article's talk page instead of here. Lentulus has doubtful reliability, and you need consensus on the talk page to include in the article. By the way "The name", I hope you realize that changing your user name every few months does not get rid of your problematic edit history, or warnings. The best way to deal with those problems is to learn from your mistakes, which you seem to be having trouble doing, not changing your user name. Sundayclose (talk) 22:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Edit in The Wizard of Oz

Sundayclose, as of what you think I'm not vandalizing anything in the article. In the edit I made I add "|editor= Mark A. McNally & Susan Odjakjian" When I first made this edit, I've used IMDb's page as the source & the names were listed under "Series Editorial Department" but I didn't list the source. The end credits of the show had the same names & were listed above "Assistant Editor - Trudy Alexander" which occurs at the 0:22 mark. This is my second edit, as seen here. I know IMDb is an unreliable source for any article on Misplaced Pages I understand that, but I just couldn't help myself. I just wanted to add more information in the article. I apologize for any inconvenience I brought up to you.

There are multiple problems with your edits. First and foremost, "I just couldn't help myself" is an absurd excuse for policy violation. This is an encyclopedia, not your personal website. That will get you a block if you continue. The YouTube link is a copyright violation and not a reliable source. See WP:External links#Linking to user-submitted video sites. And finally, a "format editor" is not the same as Editor of the entire production. This is not the first time you've added incorrect information to articles. Please stop this nonsense.

Wake Forest Dining Facilities

I deleted much of the information in the Dining Facilities section because I believe it is non-encyclopedic; you reverted with the edit summary "not encyclopedic; quite relevant" (which confuses me since we both seem to agree the content is non-encyclopedic). To the point: a lot of the information seems non-noteworthy and trivial (e.g. "The Magnolia Room ... offers a "Premium Dinner" with two seatings," ""Shorty's Restaurant & Bar ... open for lunch, dinner and late night," "Starbucks ... opened in 2008," "Subway ... open 24 hours." This sort of information would perhaps be of interest to a student or visitor to the campus, but most likely not to a general reader. Would you please clarify why you believe this sort of information belongs in the article? Thank you. Contributor321 (talk) 15:37, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion in my edit summary. I intended to say "not unencyclopedic". I consider the the dining facilities, icluding type of food offered, notable enough to include in the article. It is a component of student life, which is as important as athletics. That subsection comprises a very small portion of the entire article. If you want to remove "open 24 hours" or specific location on the campus, that's OK with me to remove. Sundayclose (talk) 17:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I still feel most of the information is non-encyclopedic, but not strongly enough to raise the issue on the article's Talk page and solicit input from other editors. I've lightly pruned some of the content. Contributor321 (talk) 18:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Paul McCartney

I wanted to add but noticed it was locked, with good reason I'm sure. An omission, I believe, is the noteworthy addition to Sir Paul's legacy is the creation/co-founder of Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. A mention and link to the wiki page I would think is appropriate. Cheers, Jim Jimdunaway (talk) 16:20, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Blausen images

They have released the images under an open license and many are really good. I agree we should discuss how the source is linked. I think as a reference is fine. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:54, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I can understand leaving the images, but Misplaced Pages should not be giving Blausen advertising by linking to his website any more than anyone else. Free licensing does not entitle someone to free advertising. If someone want to find the source they can click on the image. No need for it in the article any more than the source for any other image. Sundayclose (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

We are not linking to their website. We are simply referencing their website similar to how we reference other commercial sources and we are not mentioning their name. I do not see an issue with mentioning that their is a further animation in the ref. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. It is rare to see a citation with an image caption. In fact, I don't ever recall seeing one. It's nothing against Blausen, it's just a matter of principle. As I said, readers typically click on an image to find its source. If a link to the website goes anywhere in the article, it should be under "External links". Sundayclose (talk) 22:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

We do reference images for medical content from time to time. And we use websites as references. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:28, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Forgive the intrusion, but can I inquire as to the location of the content being discussed? I take it from what has been said already that we are talking about a reference in a caption and not an external link inside the caption itself (which would without question be against policy)? I will say that, while it is quite rare, references do occur within captions from time to time, and I am unaware of any policy which excludes them. In fact, if the caption includes information that needs to be sourced and this is not satisfied in the main body of the article's text, it would arguably be required--though it's also worth noting that captions are generally meant to reiterate or refine information found in the article's prose, not introduce entirely new information, except to the extent that the captions text is wholly dependent on the image in order to make any kind of sense. Anyway, if the ref is more concerned with directing towards the source of an image than supporting a claim in the caption, then I'd likely come down on the side of Sundayclose's interpretation that this function is meant to be served by the filepage's details. But it's hard to say without having seen the full context. Snow 23:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

No intrustion; I welcome comments. No, the caption does not have unsourced information. We are discussing many articles in which BruceBlaus (talk · contribs) added images and a link to his website that typically says "See a full animation of this medical topic" in which he inserted an external link to his website, essentially making the link spam. DocJames rightfully points out that the images are high quality and under open license. I'll ask DocJames to correct me if necessary because I don't want to misrepresent what he says, but I believe he converted the external link to a citation (see example). My point is that the citation is unusual and not necessary because it is not needed for unsourced information. Readers can follow the usual process for finding the source by clicking the image. So it's not an inline external link, but it is an unnecessary citation to the website, which still makes it spam in my opinion. I appreciate BruceBlaus' contributions, but that does not entitle him to spam his website. And as I said, if the website is linked at all in the article it should be under "External links". Sundayclose (talk) 00:24, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I see the distinction now, and I'm inclined to agree. Any debatable ambiguity here is, in my opinion, eliminated by the inclusion of the "video in reference" comment, which essentially translates this reference into an external link for content outside the project placed within the body of the article text--which is, of course, prohibited by policy. I wonder if Mr. Blaus' intent is necessarily promotional here though; taking a (very) cursory look at his contribs, it seems that he is quite determined to add these links to all uses of his donated material, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that this at least partially motivated by a desire to share the animated versions of this content instead of, or in addition to, promotional intent. I can't help but think that the animations would be a wonderful asset to our readers in many instances, so I'd hope most editors are moving the links to external references sections rather than eliminating them altogether, but I rather suspect that is not happening in the vast majority of cases. Best of all would be if Mr. Blaus could donate some of these animations as video files. As introductory materials on physiology go, they seem to be fairly high quality. I wonder if anyone has ever approached him with regard to this possibility. Snow 00:52, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Which makes me wonder if he might not be amenable to donating some of his animations for the same purpose. Do you recall what the policy is for watermarks in video content used within articles? Snow 01:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not familiar with any policy about watermarks. Sundayclose (talk) 01:21, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

External links are more promotional IMO. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:32, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm fine if we don't link the website at all in the article, but if we do it needs to be an external link. Sundayclose (talk) 03:39, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Neither should be in the text of the main body of the article (captions included), but linking the site in the external links section--that is, post reflist--could be of benefit to our readers, especially if we link directly to the animation. Snow 07:37, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Stop removing the images entirely

Please stop removing the images entirely. I care little about the links as they do not add much. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

List of messiah claimants

Please explain your revert. See the corresponding articles if in doubt. Or do you need RS?Zezen (talk) 20:56, 21 November 2015 (UTC) I am restoring it, until you explain the revert. Zezen (talk) 22:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I did explain in my edit summary, but if you need more detail here it is. One point to understand: I am not challenging whether these individuals have claimed to be the Messiah. The issue is notability. There are literally thousands of people throughout history who have claimed to be the Messiah. Misplaced Pages can't include all of them and must draw the line on notability. Read WP:WTAF. Many non-notable claimants have been added and removed based on notability. The established procedure on this article is to either write well sourced articles on these two people, or get consensus on the talk page to include them. Sundayclose (talk) 22:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

sources for Port Arthur, Texas

What do you mean by unsourced content? I got the information from the Misplaced Pages page for Mike Rabon, as well as the reference information from Allmusic which is mentioned on that page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Arbitrary reversal

I would appreciate it if you would not arbitrarily reverse my edits. So far, you have done so twice. The 1st time I let it go as I had not provided an adequate source for "armada of ants;" I concurred that the source cited did not specify ants, rather ants were used as an example. This time, you have reversed "mob of cattle;" the source is more than adequate as it specifically says "cattle" or "sheep" when on a drive. If you cannot find the definition at my source, look lower on the page as British English. Actually, "mob of cattle" is most commonly used in Australia. I gave a similar explanation on the talk page. Dstern1 (talk) 19:29, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Catholic Church

Sundayclose. In your edit summary, you incorrectly state: that Sui Iuris churches "should never have been removed, especially without discussion. It explains a lot in a few words."

As the author of that statement, it is my right to remove that statement. I own the copyright on that statement, and never relinquished that copyright, and can choose to remove my own contributions. Under the Creative Commons license, under which I licensed the sentence, you can choose to restore it if you wish. That is simply how Misplaced Pages works. It is sufficient to state that you disagree with the removal of a clause when you restore it; to declare that anybody must do anything is inappropriate and frustrating to other editors.

This is a discussion about editing behavior. I do not care strongly about the statement regarding sui iuris churches. I removed my own contribution because I did not think it particularly valuable. If you disagree, I am flattered. --Zfish118 03:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Zfish, I am assuming good faith here on your part, but I'm sorry you don't own the copyright to anything that you put on Misplaced Pages. See the third item in WP:5P. Once you put it in Misplaced Pages, it is freely licensed. If everyone who adds words to Misplaced Pages has a copyright on those words and can add or remove them without concern for discussion or consensus, Misplaced Pages would be in massive chaos. Every time you make an edit on Misplaced Pages, the following words are in the edit window: "By clicking the 'Save page' button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL with the understanding that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient for CC BY-SA 3.0 attribution." In fact, Zfish, no one owns the copyright to the words "sui iuris". Two words cannot be copyrighted. A brand name, such as "Toyota Camry" can have a trademark, but the use of a few words in a text can never be copyrighted. If you think you have the copyright to those words please provide the copyright documents for all of us to see. As for "editing behavior", I'm not trying to stir up controversy here, but everything on Misplaced Pages is subject to discussion, especially when it is challenged. The reason I said "especially without discussion" is because the "sui iuris" item had previously been removed and restored before you removed it again. According to WP:BRD, after it was restored there should have been discussion before it was removed again. I assume in good faith that you were not aware of some of these details. But please don't accuse me of violating your copyright or other inappropriate "editing behavior". Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Sundayclose; I am not accusing you of violating my copyright. You may freely use my contributions under the terms of the Creative Commons license, as I explicitly stated in my original post. However, I am free to remove my own contributions without asking permission, and you are free to restore them if you feel otherwise. I am indeed flattered that you thought my contribution was worth keeping. After you restored it, I never removed it. If someone else did, I was not aware.

I am upset by your edit summary stating that it should "never" have been removed. Writing a high quality template requires give and take. If every edit is going to attract recriminations and accusations of violating some obscure interpretation of consensus, nothing will get done. There is no consensus that the template MUST mention sui iuris churches. The template is a few weeks old, and no body happened to object to including mention of the Latin and Eastern Catholic Churches. I later reconsidered my own contribution, thinking it was too complex a topic for the infobox, and removed my own contribution. You happened to object to its removal and restored it, as that was your prerogative.

All I ask is that you not use accusatory language in talk page summaries. I have been editing Misplaced Pages for several years, and know the policies. I am reaching out to try to avoid future frustrating encounters. --Zfish118 17:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

If copyright wasn't an important issue in your statements above, why did you write "I own the copyright on that statement, and never relinquished that copyright"? And no, with all due respect, you are not always free to remove your own contributions once that removal has been restored. Again, read WP:BRD. You can remove it because anyone can make any edit, but you should have discussed it since it was previously removed and restored. Otherwise there can be an endless adding and removing. That's the whole point of WP:BRD and WP:CONSENSUS. You said, "After you restored it, I never removed it. If someone else did, I was not aware": Read my comments above; I acknowledged that you may not have been aware, but that doesn't mean that I cannot restore it. And I never said there is "consensus that the template MUST mention sui iuris churches"; I said that once it was removed and restored there should be discussion before restoring it again. I never made "recriminations and accusations of violating some obscure interpretation of consensus." WP:BRD is not "obscure"; it's something that every editor with a modicum of experience is aware of. If you weren't, that's fine, but don't accuse me of inappropriate "editing behavior" simply because I am aware of it and pointed it out. I suggest at this point we both move on from this matter so as not to inflame something that is over and done with. I restored sui iuris after it was previously added, removed, readded, and again removed, and you are free to discuss that on the article talk page if you want it removed again. I assume you have done everything in good faith. If you can't assume that about me, I don't plan to continue this argument. We both have more important things both on Misplaced Pages and in real life than squabbling over this. Thanks for your many contributions to the article and for all the good faith negotiating over the last few weeks. Sundayclose (talk) 18:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

I do assume you are editing in good faith. --Zfish118 06:30, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

"Do You Want to Know a Secret?" edit

Dear Sundayclose,

The following sections that I deleted from "Do You Want to Know a Secret" are really unnecessary and pointless. The "Language =" section of the blue "song" infobox is not needed because it's obvious that this song is in English and you don't typically see "Language =" in infoboxes of other songs in English that is in the English-language Misplaced Pages. The "Misc =" section in the yellow "single" infobox is not needed either because the song infobox already has it showing the music sample in it. The "prev_no"/"next_no" sections of the blue infobox, not necessary because the track list of the "Please Please Me" album is already there. The other sections, such as the "Writer =", "Genre =", "Recorded =", "Length =", and "Producer =" sections, I deleted them from the yellow infobox because they are already in the blue infobox, and it's about the same song with the same recording, and I've seen articles other Beatles songs (like "Yesterday (Beatles song)") that don't mention these sections on the yellow infobox because they're already mentioned on the blue infobox, so I think this particular article shouldn't be any different in terms of infobox sections.

All the best, Meluvswiki (talk). 3:27 PM, 23 December 2015.

(New messages always go at the bottom of a talk page, not the top.) Thanks for your message. First, "it's the same song" is not correct. It may have been unintentional, but you removed several parameters for the B-side (Thank You Girl): Recorded, Genre, Length, Writer, Producer. Look at the diffs for your edit and you will see that those parameters do not apply to Do You Want to Know a Secret. As for the other removals you made, to put things simply, infobox parameters generally stay even if they are empty. It does no harm to leave them in. But even more importantly, it is not your decision as to what should stay and what should go in the infobox. Any of us is subject to error in removing a parameter that might be filled in later. Your edit is a perfect example. You removed parameters for Thank You Girl (unintentionally I assume) thinking that you were removing for Do You Want to Know a Secret. The bottom line: it does no harm to leave empty paramters. Please stop. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 21:39, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Re: Deletion of addition to List of Anglo-Catholic Churches Hi, thanks for your note on my Talk page.

Statements I added in in heading of Garage rock are fully sourced

The statements I added in the heading are fully sourced in the article and need to be stated. We have a whole new well-researched section in the article that carefully explains the psychedelic connection with certain garage rock acts, Psychedelic garage rock in the 1960s. The statement about garage's influence on punk is well-sourced in the article and has been there a long time Emergence of punk aesthetic and movement., Mick Jones, Charlie Harper, Poly Styrene, Vic Godard, Bryan James, and Captain Sensible are quoted attesting to garage influences in Robb's book. The punk rock article makes clear in the heading that punk had roots in garage and protopunk, and they etymology section there is very comprehensive. To deny that garage influenced later punk is simply not factual. So, please trust that I know what I'm talking about here. I assumed that there would be no objection to my additions, because they are so obvious, based on what has been sourced and established. So, we need to put them back.

Gray discusses how the perception of punk shifted away from its previous 60s and early 70s connotations following the rise of the Sex Pistols and the whole "year zero" outlook.

Oral accounts by Mick Jones, Charlie Harper, Poly Styrene, Vic Godard, Bryan James, and Captain Sensible that discuss the influence of garage rock (American bands such as the Seeds and the Shadows of Knight, as well as British bands such as the Troggs, and the Nuggets compilation) on musicians in the early London punk scene; Page 76: Mick Jones refers to bands on Nuggets as "early punk".

I have no idea which content or template you are referring to, but again, I apologize. I'm responding because you accused me of 'lying' in my source citations. You must know that a lie is an intentional misrepresentation of facts. If I misrepresented my source incorrectly, it was not by intent, therefore not a lie, but a mistake. I was not representing that IMDb listed those films or shows as containing "magic negroes", but cited them as sources for film release years and cast listings. I don't understand why IMDb would not be a reliable source. Perhaps you or a reader can advise me as to more appropriate ways to source such listings. Thank you. IndigoP (talk) 03:51, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't cite something if it does not confirm what you add to Misplaced Pages. The source must specifically identify the character as Magical Negro. As for reliability of IMDb, did you bother to read WP:IMDB/RS? Sorry, but you need to find sources yourself. Just be sure they conform to WP:RS. If you have any doubt, ask on the article's talk page and wait for responses. The article has a long history of people adding what they think is Magical Negro. But most of those could not be reliably sourced. Sundayclose (talk) 03:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Beatles

Its generally better to put the main category into the superior categories, rather than an individual article.Rathfelder (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

I don't doubt your good faith, but can you point out the policy or guideline to that effect? And which are the main and superior categories in this case? Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 14:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

It's the fundamental characteristic of the categorisation system that it is heirarchical, so, for example, under the top category "Music" you will find "music in Tonga", "Jazz", and under that "Jazz in Munich" etc. I was surprised not to find "The Beatles" as a subcategory of "Musical groups from Liverpool". That is clearly because the article itself has been put where the category should be.Rathfelder (talk) 14:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Again, not to assume bad faith, but help me understand something. You removed the superior category "Musical groups from Liverpool" from the article, but you didn't put the category "The Beatles" in "Musical groups from Liverpool" where it should be. Help me understand how that makes sense. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 15:49, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

The plan is that "the Beatles" is the main article in . It's that category that should appear in the superior categories, rather than the article itself. That way people who are looking, for example, for the films, or the concert tours, would be alerted to the fact that there are separate articles about those things, which they might not expect. There is no real rule about this stuff, and I certainly don't plan to fight about it. The idea is to try and think what is the most helpful way of leading people to what they are looking for, bearing in mind that, by definition, the readers will know less about the subject than the people who write the articles. I have put Category:The Beatles into Category:Musical groups from Liverpool, and I was just wondering what other categories it should be in, as I'm not familiar with them. But perhaps you could do a better job of that than I could. Rathfelder (talk) 16:38, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Ah! One of my assumptions was wrong because I didn't check closely. You DID put Category:The Beatles into Category:Musical groups from Liverpool. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the clarification and for your efforts to get categories correct. Have a great day! Sundayclose (talk) 16:45, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Roman Catholic

Nobody who's Catholic calls their fellow co-religionists Roman Catholics. People incorrectly refer to Catholics as Roman Catholics. So I guess you're right "Catholics are sometimes referred to as Roman Catholic." But it's a mistake. I know because I happen to be Catholic not Roman Catholic. NapoleonX (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what planet you're from, but I've been a Roman Catholic for 65 years. And my fellow Roman Catholic have frequently referred to Roman Catholics as Roman Catholics. The language we use is not a "mistake". Don't assume your opinion is fact. Get your facts straight, or find a reliable source to back up your claims before you tell 1.25 billion people that they are wrong on Misplaced Pages. Sundayclose (talk) 03:07, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Natalie

I wasn't sure why the lead read "eastern" United States. That seems kind of wordy, and redundant. In the article it is clearly explained she grew up in several states on the East Coast. EHC0413 (talk) 05:58, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The most important reason I messaged you is to remind you to leave an edit summary, especially when you remove information. Otherwise, other editors have no idea why you removed content; you didn't vandalize, but vandals often remove content without explanation, and you don't want to be confused with a vandal. A less important point: the lead of an article is a summary of the entire article. Some redundancy is expected. Sundayclose (talk) 15:54, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

English Wiki

Noone said the English Misplaced Pages is written in American English by default, nor that Misplaced Pages is an American encyclopedia. It's written in all varieties of English. However, Misplaced Pages is an American website and non-English international topics are open to differences of opinions and can be American English. Meesalikeu (talk) 14:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

"wikipedia however, is american english by default." Those are your words. As I said, Misplaced Pages is not in American English by default

"non-English international topics are open to differences of opinions and can be American English": AGAIN, read WP:ENGVAR: "within a given article the conventions of one particular variety should be followed consistently". The JPI article has been written in British English consistently since its creation, and changing it to American English, as you did here, is inappropriate.

Disney World Incidents

Hi Sundayclose. You recently left me a message that I was removing information from the Incidents at Disney World articles. I made two edits to that article, the first changing the word 'butt' to 'rear end' because I didn't think butt sounded to encyclopedic. The second edit was fixing what I saw as a typo. I certainly don't want to remove information from Misplaced Pages when it's not right to do so, please let me know if you think those edits were inappropriate.

Thanks! AnandaBliss (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. If you had changed "butt" to "buttocks", that would be making it more encyclopedic, although entirely unnecessary because almost every English speaker knows the meaning of "butt". But Misplaced Pages does not change words because someone might consider the words offensive, and changing "butt" to the euphemism "rear end" is a form of censorship. Sundayclose (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Would it be ok if I changed it to buttocks? I don't want to re-edit the article with out talking it out. I didn't see it as offensive, just too casual for an encyclopedia. I was split between buttocks and rear end before I edited, so I understand what you're saying. I just think that butt is too colloquial for an article on this website. AnandaBliss (talk) 21:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not a problem for me, although most people would consider it unnecessary or even silly. Sundayclose (talk) 21:58, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Reversion on "With the Beatles", 'Three Harrison leads'

I'd like to inquire at what point essentially straightforward facts 'require a source': just run down the Beatles' track listings, noting Harrison's leads. It would seem the biggest sticking point is Harrison's CO-credit on "You Really Got a Hold on Me"; I could call it 'sole-leads'. Would there really be any basis for doubt? It's "just the facts". Here, BTW, is Harrison's list of (sole principal) leads:

1. Chains (Please Please Me...)
2. Do You Want to Know a Secret
   
   
3. Don't Bother Me (With the Beatles...)
4. Roll Over Beethoven
5. Devil in Her Heart
   
   
6. I'm Happy Just to Dance with You (A Hard Day's Night)
   
   
7. Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby (Beatles For Sale)
   
   
8. I Need You (Help!...)
9. You Like Me Too Much
   
   
10. Think for Yourself (Rubber Soul...)
11. If I Needed Someone
    
    
12. Taxman (Revolver...)
13. Love You To
14. I Want to Tell You
    
    
15. Within You Without You (Sgt. Pepper)
    
    
16. Blue Jay Way (Magical Mystery Tour (EPs or album))
    
    
17. The Inner Light ("Lady Madonna" single)
    
    
18. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Beatles ("White Album") (two discs)...)
19. Piggies
20. Long Long Long
21. Savoy Truffle
    
    
22. Only a Northern Song (Yellow Submarine...)
23. It's All Too Much
    
    
24. Old Brown Shoe ("Ballad of John & Yoko" single)
    
    
25. Something (Abbey Road...)
26. Here Comes the Sun
    
    
27. I Me Mine (Let It Be...)
28. For You Blue
    

...and that's it, 28 total. On only two occasions were there three on one LP-disc. 73.174.36.17 (talk) 03:49, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

3RR?

First, Um, no. I've removed the info and reverted once. That's 2. I haven't even reached 3, let alone passed 3. Clean up of links and sources aren't reverts. So your warning is unnecessary and incorrect. There was no 3RR violation. BRD is a suggestion, not a policy. Regardless, the info was removed by him, you reverted it. I removed it, you reverted it. You've reverted 2 different editors without any discussion, so it would probably be you who should start a discussion. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• And those sources don't call them a criminal enterprise. They don't even use the word criminal in the articles. I've reworded it to reflect what the sources do say. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:33, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Genre vs. Theme

Hi, I accidentally hit "minor edit" after I got your message and went back to revert it and do it correctly. I saw that you said "time travel" isn't a genre, so since the Science Fiction page says it is a "subgenre," is there a part of the infobox for "subgenre?" Should I update the other pages I saw with subgenres as genres or take "time travel" out of the main page of "Science Fiction?" Please advise. Thank you. Hopeliz (talk) 02:13, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

As far as I know there is no parameter for subgenre. Best not to overload the infobox anyway; it should be very brief. Those details can be discussed in the article text, although you also don't want to put excess in the lead either. The plot summary usually makes it clear that time travel is involved. Thanks.

Hello
You removed the link I put in here as a "see also" because you said it was already linked elsewhere: Can you tell me where, as I haven't been able to find it.
Also, though, the reason I put it there is the reason I gave on the talk page: if that is valid the link would be better in plain sight. What do you think? Moonraker12 (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

First of all, new talk page messages go at the bottom of the page, not randomly placed in the middle of the page. Secondly, "A&E biography" tells us almost nothing. What episode? When was it aired? Is there a link to a transcript? Users must be able to verify based on the citation, so my edit summary was "inadequately sourced".

Everyone makes mistakes, but ignoring warnings and assuming the attitude that "I can do whatever I want on Misplaced Pages" can quickly get you blocked, and deservedly so. I don't really care whether you do or do not "cry over" it. But start respecting policy and warnings, or get off of Misplaced Pages.

11.22.63 episode list

You rolled back my addition to the 11.22.63 page, citing copyright infringement. I was under the impression that when detailed summaries have not yet been written, adding official promotional summaries as placeholders is standard practice for TV shows on Misplaced Pages. For example, on the The Man in the High Castle page, the summaries for episodes 3 to 8 are identical to the official summaries available on the IMDb episode list. As the summaries I added are official promotional material for the show, why should 11.22.63 be treated differently? At most, surely the episode list can be kept without the summaries? Reverting my edit wholesale seems rather excessive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnlistedVermin (talk • contribs) 22:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Information copied from a website that has a copyright notice (as IMDb has) is considered a copyright infringement unless you can provide evidence from the copyright holder (whether the production company or IMDb, or both) that the information is released for public use with no restrictions. For example, material on Misplaced Pages is copyrighted, but Misplaced Pages specifically grants everyone permission to use it under the GNU Free Documentation License. See WP:COPYRIGHT. Because the legal implications for Misplaced Pages are very serious if there is copyright violation, the standard is to err on the side of caution. Simply assuming that the material is free to use is insufficient. Please provide evidence. Please click the blue links in my first message to you and read the policies. As for other Misplaced Pages articles, copyright infringement on other articles in no way mitigates your responsibility not to violate copyright. As for keeping the names of the episodes, I don't think it's a copyright violation, but it does need to be reliably sourced, and IMDb is not considered a reliable source. See WP:RS/IMDB.

Untitled

what I added to Harrison is factual and significant as far as his Beatles legacy...it's not a huge deal but it improves the intro slightly...so what am I suppose to do to get 'consensus'?...and what's ungrammatical?? (nothing)....do you get in trouble for reversing my edit? or do just I get in trouble for reversing your reversing of my edit?? why??

First, new messages go at the bottom of talk pages. Secondly, yes, you will "get in trouble" (blocked from editing) if you repeatedly restore something that has been removed unless you discuss on talk page and get consensus. Have you clicked the links and read anything in the warnings on your talk page. See WP:BRD. Thirdly, find information about consensus at WP:CON, and follow it; don't continue to revert unless there is a clear consensus on the talk page. Fourthly, one Rolling Stone article is not "often ranked among the Beatles' finest" as you have described it. Only report what is in the source; don't embellish with you own opinions. Find another source if you want to write "often ranked among the Beatles' finest". Fifthly, "theses" is ungrammatical. Sundayclose (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

that's a typo, not ungrammatical....the citation is just a prominent example of the widespread phenomena of his songs almost universally showing up in top Beatles song lists and being highly ranked by critics...suppose could cite endless other lists....anyway learning Misplaced Pages..put something in the 'talk' page on Harrison about it...it's a small change but of significant note to someone learning about the subject for the first time, imo... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.241.158 (talk) 23:51, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

WP text must conform to the statements made in the cited source, not your opinion or personal preference. If you continue to revert sourced content you may be blocked without further warning. SPECIFICO talk 18:40, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to respond.

What you saw was my first Misplaced Pages edit, you probably have made your first edit too. Thank you for commenting that I forgot to put a source, I personally thought it was acceptable to link to another Misplaced Pages page which confirmed this fact. If you actually clicked on the Hawai'i Sign Language page, you would have seen almost instantly that it says that HSL is endangered with only 40 signers left. Honestly, I was a bit upset that you basically patrolled over a one sentence edit, that was made in good faith. I think that if someone else saw that message, their desire for editing and contributing to Misplaced Pages would probably be demolished. Just my opinion. Thanks.

I'm no expert on these matters. But I think any editor who hasn't contributed to the discussion can close it. I'm willing to give it a few days. Beatles articles have a lot of eyes on them.

No problem. But I generally don't wait more than 24 hours because often the sources are never added. Sundayclose (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

OK, understood. It's a good faith effort on my part. I've learned my lesson and am finalizing stuff in my sandbox before posting it in. Vrie0006 (talk) 02:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. For the psychology sidebar the talk page is not exactly what I would call active. I posted there about including behavioral genetics but I don't think I'm going to get an answer any time soon. I would suggest it is easy to make a case for Behavioral Genetics as basic type or field in psychology, espeicaly relative to some of the other "types" included in that sidebar: evolutionary psych, differential psych, personality psych, comparative psych, etc. Vrie0006 (talk) 03:52, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

If no one comments any time soon, you can post a message at WT:WikiProject Psychology seeking opinions, but the consensus discussion must occur at the talk page for the sidebar, so just mention that you're seeking opinions on that page. If that doesn't help, you can post a request for comment at WP:RFC. The sidebar has a history of people adding their favorite and very specific topic, so it can become too lengthy for a sidebar if there isn't some discussion. If you do what I suggest and no one objects in a few weeks, you can readd and I won't remove; can't promise no one else will though. BTW, I'm not an admin; anyone can do what I've done in this situation. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 15:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I've tried to work with you cooperatively, but you have refused to follow any suggestions, and now you are claiming that the community is "supportive" even though no support has been expressed. Read WP:DR and follow the suggestions there. Repeatedly adding challenged information without consensus is disruptive editing and can result in a removal of editing privileges.

You've been very helpful, and I'm thankful for that. I thought I did what you suggested? I posted on the talk page of the sidebar on March 3. No one has objected. I posted on the talk page of the wikiproject psychology talk page 5 days ago. No one has objected. I thought those were the hurdles you thought were important to jump over. Perhaps I didn't post in the places that you suggested? Or I didn't wait long enough? Or "support" from the community requires getting positive support, just not a lack of negative sentiment? I hope you'll continue to work with me and understand that for a wikipedia newbie the wikipedia guidelines and customs are not the easiest thing to get used to. You can assume that everything I do/have done on wikipedia is in good faith. I'll check out the link you posted.Vrie0006 (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Did you actually read my comments above? Did you click the blue links about procedures to follow for a content dispute? At this point it's not a matter of "waiting long enough". You need to get a consensus, and simply posting your opinion is not "getting support" when your edit has been challenged. Again, please follow WP:DR. Thanks.

Hello! Anything more you'd like me to do re: the psychology sidebar inclusion of behavior genetics? I'm not sure if the issue needs to be further escalated according to WP:CON. Thanks again for all your help in making sure this is done right. Vrie0006 (talk) 14:37, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

I personally would leave the RfC up for a total of month (around May 22) before changing the sidebar, unless overwhelming consensus develops one way or the other. I don't see much opposition to the change. After a month, if there are no additional comments, I suppose you could be WP:BOLD and add the item to the sidebar. Then it's up to others to express any disagreement. But you should not close the RfC since you're involved in the discussion. At some point someone will come along and close it. Sundayclose (talk) 14:47, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

I made the change just now. The same time I made the change to include BG in the sidebar RfC was closed by bot. Thx again. I think I've learned a lot about wikipedia norms through this process. Vrie0006 (talk) 14:59, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

The Beatles

Hello, how is my change in the Beatles page "not confired by the source"? We are talking about an academic journal, a scholar who has published a major book on Sgt. Pepper (https://www.routledge.com/products/9780754667087)… He writes an introductory essay on "Beatles studies" in which he shows that popular music studies started with the study of rock music and that the analysis of the Beatles' music contributed to the legitimization of the field - where is the "gross overstatement"? Cf the abstract: "While focusing on the Fab Four’s contribution to legitimize this field of study"… Thx Zamuse (talk) 19:43, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

@Zamuse: This discussion belongs on Talk:The Beatles, not here. Read the edit summaries that have reverted you and respond to those. If you continue to revert without a clear consensus you will be blocked from editing. Don't respond here, only at the article talk page. Sundayclose (talk) 20:50, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Lets defuse this nonsense

You and I are going about this all wrong. I don't respond well to name-calling; in fact it brings out the very worst in me. Maybe you were unaware of how detrimental and incendiary it is to accuse a fellow editor of wikilawyering and edot-warring. That is why you were greeted with the level of hostility you were; you had (in my estimation) more than deserved it. Also, an action by the other editor in the article did something exceptionally uncivil and threatening. They aren't shining out as a beacon of intellect, so I am going to confine my efforts to you.
If I am not mistaken, you think the wording is fine, as it is either innocuous, innocent and in general describes the progress of Portman as an actor. As well, you think that because it hasn't been challenged before now that the language should remain as is. Am I correct? If not, please correct my misapprehension of your view. If it is accurate, please tell me how you understand my viewpoint to be. Perhaps that will help us to avoid misunderstanding (and subsequently demonizing) each other's position in this discussion. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I think the word "major" should remain because the filmmakers gave Portman fist-billed status. I've said that repeatedly on the article talk page. It has nothing to do with whether the word itself is innocuous or innocent. There are a number of reasons to designate the role as major, but the only one needed for Misplaced Pages's purposes is the filmmakers' decision to put Portman's name as first billed. This discussion about the article belongs on the article's talk page and I prefer to make all the discussion transparent to all editors, not just you and me. Sundayclose (talk) 23:25, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Understood, and I am interested in transparency, as well. I came here so that we could de-escalate the misunderstandings and missteps in our approach to one another. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:01, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Navbox

Chowan is a future affiliate of Conference Carolinas, it is detailed in the Conference Carolinas#Future affiliate members section on the conference page. In that section you will see a link to Chowan's primary conference which is the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. On the CIAA page is the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association#Other sponsored sports by school section with notes following the table. The second note is the one dealing with future affiliate membership of Conference Carolinas and is cited to source number (7) that has a direct link to the Chowan news release. This is the third time I have stated the page where the citation is noted as both of my edit summaries have included a link to that page. The information is correct and properly cited so you need to please stop editing the navbox until you find the citation. Msjraz64 (talk) 23:33, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

addition of a band member's name on Bob Dylan's page

Hi, I am the musician in question's assistant. He asked me to add his name to the list of band members in that sentence, which seems rather arbitrary and might have been posted before this person joined Bob's band. Can you provide me with a reliable source that can verify the other people mentioned in that sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWhip (talk • contribs) 01:44, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

It is the responsibility of the editor who wishes to make an edit to find a source. I didn't add the names, so unless they are removed and I wish to restore them, I have no responsibility for providing a source. Also be aware that "other stuff exists" (that is, there is already unsourced information in the article) is not a justification for adding to the article's problems by adding more unsourced information. And finally, being affiliated with someone does not entitle an editor to add that person's name to an article without following the Misplaced Pages policy regarding reliable sourcing. In fact, read WP:COI regarding possible conflict of interest. But, of course, we have no way of knowing that you are assistant to the musician because everyone edits anonymously on Misplaced Pages and anyone can anonymously claim to be affiliated with anyone else. Sundayclose (talk) 01:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Band member's addition on the Dylan page

Aside from your comment about my removing the entire sentence, I don't know what you want me to do. The musician in question can contact you directly (he is traveling with Bob in Japan right now), but you may doubt that it is really him. Throw me a bone here.....he simply wants his name included as a major band member. Keith Richards gave an interview in a British magazine last year, where he said that the musician in question was a major driving force in the band. Would that do as a source? I can't find the tildes on my keyboard because they're worn off. WikiWhip — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWhip (talk • contribs) 04:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I would have to see the Keith Richards interview to determine if it is acceptable. Do you have a link?

I have no responsibility in helping you find a source for your edit. That's not how Misplaced Pages works. Take the time to read the policies I've linked, and do what the rest of us have to do: find a source and cite it. There's nothing "special" about your situation that deserves a rare exception to the same process that thousands of editors have to do each day. Dylan is a big act; it shouldn't be too hard to find a reliable source that Receli is in his band. This isn't a matter of what I want you to do or me "throwing you a bone"; it's all about Misplaced Pages policy. So "what I want you to do" is to either find the source, or leave the article alone. This is my last response on this matter so don't message me again unless you come up with a reliable source. Sundayclose (talk) 13:19, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Iistal and edit warring

Iistal has been adequately and repeatedly warned for edit warring. You are under no further obligation to warn him again. In fact, in the interest of harmonious editing, it might be better of you stay away from his talk page. The exception would be, if you report him to a noticeboard such as WP:ANEW and are obligated to inform him of the discussion, leave the notice.

To be clear, the above is merely a suggestion, but I think it might benefit all parties. —C.Fred (talk) 23:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I wanted to be sure he was warned in case he reverts again. But that's good information to know. As for my staying off his talk page, I'm not sure about that. I have learned to simply let some things go, but not everything. The reason I got involved with his behavior is that many of the articles he edits are on my watchlist. I can tolerate a lot in terms of bad editing, but repeatedly adding unsourced content after it has been challenged, and especially when multiple users issue warning, is unacceptable. And even worse, of course, is the attitude that he doesn't have to follow the rules. I do appreciate your message, as well as your attempts to resolve some of the issues. Sundayclose (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Abbey Road revert

You reverted a picture I had added to the Abbey Road page, but I don't understand your reasons for doing so. The reason you gave was that 'selecting someone's favorite of many related images is POV', but I know of no other image (or example) of interior design being influenced by this album. I feel the picture adds an interesting dimension to the legacy aspect of the album's iconography. If I add some supporting text would that be enough to satisfy you?Obscurasky (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I understand that you like the image, but the Abbey Road image has inspired hundreds, probably thousands, of images. I hope I don't have to search them for you, but if you're at a loss in finding them, start with (and I am not suggesting that this is an exhaustive list). Your very comment "I feel the picture adds an interesting dimension to the legacy aspect of the album's iconography" illustrates how it is POV; it's how you feel about one of thousands of images; it's not how others' necessarily feel. I personally feel that it adds nothing to the article except a bit of humor. Sorry, but no, adding supporting text is required for an image, but in this case it is not sufficient. This is a POV issue. Get consensus on the talk page. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 01:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

you speak as if I'm an idiot. "I understand that you like the image", even posting a Google link - in case I don't know how to search for an image?? Pretty obviously I used the term "I feel" because "I" was trying to explain my reasons for adding the photo - not because I like it, but because it adds an interesting dimension to the legacy aspect. Do you have a different image showing interior design influenced by the album?Obscurasky (talk) 01:21, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I did not speak as if you are an idiot. If you want to take such a defensive and personal stance on this issue simply because someone disagrees with you, we are finished here. Whether you like the image or not, whether you think it adds something or not, I have clearly stated that this is a matter that requires consensus, if for no other reason than it has been challenged. Please read WP:BRD. So please get consensus. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:28, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

my 'defensive stance', as you call it, has nothing to do with you disagreeing with me - it's entirely due to your condescending tone. disagreement is a perfectly normal aspect of the editing process and, as I'm sure you know, it is not necessary to actively seek consensus before carrying out an edit of kind. i've given a perfectly reasonable explanation for my edit - and Interior design is an interesting extension to the album's legacy. Why don't you work with me to develop it?Obscurasky (talk) 01:46, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Take this discussion to the article's talk page where it belongs, not here. I have made my points clearly and I don't intend to argue with someone who can't follow the standard procedure of WP:BRD. Don't message me here again, and don't restore your edit without consensus. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:52, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Gilda

"In popular cutlure" items are sourced by the very media artifact they refer to, and do not require an additional secondary source. This is precisley the same as "Plot" sections in film and book articles. If you think the items you deleted are "trivial", that's another matter, and one that can be discussed. Please do not edit war by reverting again, go to the article's talk page and make a case for why the items you removed are trivial. Please see WP:BRD. BMK (talk) 20:36, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

You're the one edit warring, and please don't command someone to discuss when WP:BRD clearly indicates that after someone is bold by adding to an article (the original contributer), and another editor (me) reverts, it is then up to an editor who wishes to revert again to discuss. You've been around long enough to know that. But in the interest of settling this without a major conflict, I'll simply ask you to do a partial self-revert and remove the Bollywood item because "inspired by Gilda" requires a source because that is not explicitly stated in the film itself. If you can agree to that compromise, we're good. If you can't, then we have a bigger problem. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 20:49, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're totally wrong about BRD. You made a Bold edit, which I Reverted, then the next step is to Discuss, but you did not Discuss, you Reverted again -- it's BRD, not BRRD. I then restored the status quo ante -- as called for by BRD -- and reminded you to Discuss. So, your next step is not to revert again (BRRRD), but to, well, discuss. You have yet to do so, and since you're the one who has a problem with the entries, the onus is on you to discuss your objections. Please do so, and once you make your objections specific and not general, I will be glad to answer them with specific opposition or agreement. What I will not agree to is generalized deletion of popcult entries on bogus or non-specific grounds. I'm happy to discuss anything, but you must first start the discussion. (And yes, I have "been around" long enough: 11 years and 188K+ edits, so, yes, I understand BRD quite well, and, no, you have no grounds for trying to cop a superior attitude, so I'd be grateful if you'd drop that shit.) BMK (talk) 07:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: No, I'm not wrong about BRD. The addition to the article was "B". How could I revert something that was not already added to the article? My revert was "R". It was then up to you to "D", discuss. And no, I have not copped an attitude, so please stop the false accusations as well as your confrontational tone. I've tried to discuss here with you, including agreeing to leave two of the items in the article with a request that you remove the item that is not supported by the film itself, but you clearly are not open to discussion. I added a cn tag to "inspired by Gilda", per WP:V. If you remove it without discussion, I'll be seeing you at ANI. Sundayclose (talk) 14:10, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Diocese

I got your message and included an explanation with the edit. The data on the Archdiocese of Atlanta, GA is unsupported. The references either do not work or, the lead to articles unrelated. In addition, the population of the Entire state of Georgia is just over 10 million. IF the entire population of Georgia lived in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, GA and IF the Catholic population was 14% of the population (source says 8.9%, http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/2004/11/state-by-state-percentage-of-white-evangelicals-catholics-and-black-protestants.aspx) . Split the difference and say it's 12%, this would mean 1,200,000 Catholics in ALL of Georgia. In this sense, the data for North Carolina is also questionable. The same source above says the RNC population of NC is 11%. 11% of 10 million is 1.1 million. The Misplaced Pages for NC diocese total about 800,000...closeriously to realits but still likely off. Since your links don't work or don't actually lead to quantifiable data, until you can prove otherwise, your page needs work. Mikeanthony1965 (talk) 01:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

First, if a link in a citation is dead, you should tag it as such with {{dl}}. If the source doesn't confirm the information tag it as such with {{fv}}. In either case, don't remove the citation. Wait to see if someone fixes it. Secondly, you removed the citation to the Nelson source apparently without finding the source to determine whether or not it confirms the information. Thirdly, Misplaced Pages does not extrapolate from hypothetical assumptions as you did ("IF the entire population . . . and IF the Catholic population . . . Split the difference . . ."). That violates WP:SYN. In summary, you removed citations inappropriately, and your assumptions violate WP:SYN. And last but certainly not least, it's not my page, nor is it your page, nor is it any editor's page. No one owns any Misplaced Pages article. Sundayclose (talk) 01:58, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

No one knows how notable the film will be because it just started shooting. We don't devote an entire paragraph in an actor's bio to a future film because we have no idea whether it will be a major success or a flop.
