Re. Dragon Skin body armor

Hello and thank you for contacting me. Unfortunately, I usually don't get involved in disputes regarding articles where I lack expertise. My suggestion is create a section on the article's talk page about the disputed edits or disruptive behavior by other users. If they refuse to talk about it then it's legitimate to warn them (use the "Not adhering to NPOV" templates that you will find here) and have them blocked if they still persist in making unilateral, disputed changes without discussing them. Just warn and revert, and report if they keep inserting their changes after receiving a set of warnings. I hope this helps. Regards,--Húsönd 19:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you please brief me on the user and with what sort of edits is he disrupting the article? I'll have a closer look.--Húsönd 20:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I still can't find enough proof that a particular user is disrupting the article with POV. I've protected the article due to edit war anyway. It would be convenient if some editors agree on the talk page that a specific user is being disruptive. That would certainly help counter disruption after the article is unprotected.--Húsönd 23:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:PlaneShift (video game)

Why the hell do I have my own personal attack section on that talk page? Oh well, I have removed it. Everything you said EvanCarroll did first (pay attention to where the URL goes) and he has voice on the #peragro channel on Freenode. I would be inclined to believe the other way around. And no I do not have a conflict of interest. I just play the game, and I asked on irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia back in June if playing a game implies that you have a conflict of interest, and the consensus was that I do not.

Fair use rationale for File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Armbrust _{Undertaker 19–0} 15:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Elder Sign

Because you don't add citation, you just add external link. L-Zwei (talk) 17:35, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Just make proper citation instead of simply lazily linking outside. Don't you see those Notes and References section? L-Zwei (talk) 17:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Right, I'm lazy-ass who aren't very friendly. But consider that one who add it made half-ass edit by simply link outside (which may even violate WP:SPAM) instead of made proper citation, I don't see why I should put any more effort. Look, if you want to re-add it then made proper citation, else just leave it. Whatever, I won't do it to you. L-Zwei (talk) 10:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: Kansas City

I would suggest putting it up on the talk page. Give it a week or so. If there isn't any discussion, then just do it. You could also propose a move here. I fixed 800 disambiguation links to the page so this is a pretty major change. --User:Woohookitty 04:31, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

That last comment made me laugh hard. Hey. At least you know. :-D In the end, I don't have any problem with the change really. I just get concerned when massive changes like that are made without direct discussion. The old page was a bit troublesome as it was a semi-disam page. --User:Woohookitty 04:45, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Johnny Dare Morning Show

The article The Johnny Dare Morning Show has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable radio show. References are all primary sources.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Non-free rationale for File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Watson Jeopardy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:40, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kracht Castle Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junction City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Edit war warning

Your recent editing history at Places of power and Energy (esotericism) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You've dropped two "admin action" warnings on my talk page in very short succession. I suppose a better comment would be "pot:kettle=black," or just "that's a bit of an odd call given you've got more reverts on Energy (esotericism) than I do, and as many today" but... I assumed you'd get the point. Darker Dreams (talk) 07:01, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

That is what you have been edit warring in two different articles to retain. The problem that needs fixing is your bad choice of refs - this is what both nikkimaria and i have been telling you, and you are not hearing it. I won't respond again here. If you want to discuss something at an article talk page, that would be that. Jytdog (talk) 07:12, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

No, I was pushing back in place of power to retain the wiki references to things like Charmed which I haven't had a chance to dig out the relevant episode or how to format the citation. Actually, I didn't even look at which citations got scooped up in someone else's edit , who was hammering away at source quality, and you promptly reverted out of hand.

Sacred time moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sacred time, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Cochranites

Hi Darker Dreams, according to MOS:DABBLUE, disambiguation page entries should have one blue link to the most relevant article. That is how I edited Cochranites. I moved Cochranianism to the See also section because that is where similar titles are typically listed (MOS:DABSEEALSO). Leschnei (talk) 13:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I moved all of the bluelinks to entry starts to standardize them, removed the extra blue link without pushing the main link into a redirect, and restored your fix to a mainpage link caught up the previous redirect. My reading of MOS:DABSEEALSO looks like all three entries would technically fall under the See Also criteria. Darker Dreams (talk) 04:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Astrology Sun Dates

I have added cited data for the start dates of signs Aries and Taurus for the years 2000 to 2029. You will notice that they change. The full current dates for this year are 2023 Mar 20 21:24 Aries and 2023 Apr 20 08:14 Taurus. Next year's dates are 2024 Mar 20 03:06 Aries 2024 Apr 19 14:00 Taurus. Notice that these dates differ from your last edit. But of course these are Universal Time dates. Depending on your location the local times may be up to 13 hour later or 12 hours earlier. However the table says "Approximate dates" so it doesn't matter that you put in incorrect data. Anyone who actually wants to use this table would always use an ephemeris. Only an idiot would use a fixed table for data that is inherently changeable.

I will leave to your conscience whether you want to leave incorrect figures in a table that you edited. OrewaTel (talk) 02:57, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Sacredness. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:05, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Edit warring at Witchcraft (disambiguation)

Your recent editing history at Witchcraft (disambiguation) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Finding a home for your content

Hi, I think you're going about this all wrong (i.e. lots of new pages), but your intentions and your content are good. I've actually just taken all of the material that you placed at Witchcraft (traditional) and split it between Cunning folk, which is where the discussion of European folk healers/mystic individuals belongs, and Witch (word), which is where the evolution of the label of "witch" is best explained. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:53, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Darker Dreams, we also don't need this: Template:Witchcraft sidebar. As I said on that talk page, you've lumped together cunning people and traditional knowledge with witches, who those societies define as those who harm their own communities. It duplicates templates we already have. 00:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

You are edit-warring

I realize you are very attached to the Neopagan redefinition of "witch" as someone who heals, and the debunked witch-cult theory. You claim you are not here to right great wrongs but your edit history shows otherwise:

• Darker Dreams (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

I know this is hard for you to hear, as you have cast me as an enemy, but I know many people who believe as you do. I have a great deal of compassion for this view. BUT, I am asking you to have compassion for the Indigenous, African, Irish and Scottish cultures for whose traditional people "witch" and "witchcraft" is the opposite of the healers and healing metaphysical work. I'm sorry if you are unfamiliar with these communities, but they/we don't usually trust people who call themselves witches, both because of the "harming their own communities" meaning, but also because American and UK Neopagans are known to culturally appropriate from these very cultures. It's an issue that is very much under the banner of "contemporary witchcraft" and is a huge reason why "contemporary witchcraft" is not synonymous with "neopagan witchcraft". Please, try to understand this as a global, and not just white people, issue. I have raised this multiple times now and you, and a few other editors, are blatantly ignoring it. This, to me, is the major systemic bias issue. Which is why I re-added the systemic bias flag, which you reverted, along with returning a wholly inappropriate link to Indigenous traditional knowledge which is not "witchcraft. Why did you remove it? - CorbieVreccan ☼ 23:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I know this is hard for you to hear, as you have cast me as an enemy - including repeatedly accusing me of bad faith in various styles and forums; I have provided, repeatedly, sources that demonstrate that "witch" has been applied to a number of categories of individuals. There is significant complexity to this issue because of several redefinitions of the term "witch," including being applied by colonialists and anthropologists based on specific white, anglo-European, colonial, Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment frameworks that sought to map a broad range of experiences and belief systems into their contemporary European experience - even when that was glaringly inappropriate.

Now, we are not supposed to be discussing these issues outside the mediation process at Misplaced Pages:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Witchcraft. Darker Dreams (talk) 23:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I am not pinging you here to discuss article content. This is behavioural. You are edit-warring with multiple people, as is evident in your contribs. I'll add diffs, but I think you are aware of what you are doing. - CorbieVreccan ☼ 00:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Witchcraft sidebar

Template:Witchcraft sidebar has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. - CorbieVreccan ☼ 00:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Witchcraft (traditional). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Calling edits made in good faith, "vandalism" is a personal attack. You've now done this twice, to two different editors, simply because you disagree with the content.

Your edits include the blanking of sources and return of off-topic links, and you are once again edit-warring - CorbieVreccan ☼ 21:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Edit-warring again / Tendentious editing

Waiting a bit and then hitting "undo" again is just continuing the edit war you have been warned about above, along with misleading and incivil edit summaries and blanking of sourced content that you simply don't like. This is disruptive and WP:TENDENTIOUS. As has been explained, you are inserting misleading links. You don't have consensus to use Indigenous definitions for witchcraft as "traditional knowledge." We have consensus, that you have agreed to, that Indigenous cultures do not agree with your redefinition of "witchcraft" as positive magic. Stop edit warring. Your accusing others of WP:OWNy behaviour is projection. It's what you are doing. - CorbieVreccan ☼ 17:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
