I AM CLAIMING Horseman of Disruption, WHICH ARE YOU? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:57, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Can I be the Horseman of Sanity? These 8channers are beyond all degrees of absurdity previously imagined. Tarc (talk) 13:11, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm perversely hurt that I haven't been sane and active enough on this topic to draw the ire of these idiots. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

You really don't want to, trust me. I rarely use Twitter, logged in today to see hundreds upon hundreds of @pinged remarks. My god, these are ugly, ugly souls...and the saddest part is, it was about 1/1000th of what Quinn's been subjected to over the last few months. Tarc (talk) 00:50, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

You must be imagining things, because, you know, ETHICS. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:53, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

• Hey, Horseman of Civility here--TRPoD, you really need to tone it down. All-capsing "END OF STORY" is totally sophomoric, of course, but in general, whenever you feel the need to shout down the opposition, turn to Twitter and stay away from Misplaced Pages. I already commented on a note you left there, and then I saw a later one, "Your "personal annoyance" is COMPLETELY irrelevant"--come on man. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 03:11, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

You cannot be serious that the gamergate talk page is the appropriate place to vent personal annoyances? if it is, then it is perfectly appropriate for me to vent mine IN ALL CAPS. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Now you're sounding like a car commercial with John McEnroe in it. Yes, I can be quite serious here. Your own frustration was clear enough as well. If that person's frustration is so inappropriate (mind you, I'm not defending their comment), why would you feed into it? Tarc makes a valid point below (though I won't click on the link; it's probably a video of Tarc playing Call of Duty). Especially if you're convinced you're right your behavior should be well above what's expected, and behavior is frequently a matter considered by Arbcom. As a matter of fact, I'm an admin and since general sanctions apply, I think you should indeed take me seriously, even more so since I have no desire to block anyone there. Chillax, as young people say. Drmies (talk) 04:12, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

The thing is though, that's the sorta thing that gets tallied up for when/if this whole mess ever goes to Arbcom. I know it's hard, but remember what Jesus said; turn the other cheek. Tarc (talk) 03:37, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

I thought he said "but ethics"-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:51, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Drmies, unlike the typical 18-35 gamer, I'm not a man-child who overcompensates for their shortcomings in life by alpha-maling in a digital warzone. I wouldn't be caught dead on a Call of Duty game. Instead, I swing magical swords at gargantuan enemies while tilling farms and catching pets. World of Warcraft, always and forever. Btw, the link is just to Robot Chicken, rthe best show in the universe. Tarc (talk) 04:37, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Complaint about your edits at WP:AN3

Please see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:TheRedPenOfDoom reported by User:UniGuard (Result: ). You may respond there if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 05:23, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

List of awards and nominations received by Mohanlal

You are removing contents from other awards and recognition section which are non reliable sources for "you". Removing the unsourced are reasonable. There will not be citations from TOI, The hindu, indianexpress or any other news daily's expecially for awards given from any trusts like "mg soman award", film chamber awards or from any council or associations, they only report awards with high importance and news value. So it will be difficult to find a highly reputed citations for "other" awards and recognitions. Don't remove contents saying non reliable unless it's evidently a highly non reliable source. If you still consider a cite unreliable you may ask wikipedia administrators for help verifying the reliability of the source respective to the claim before removing it.ThanksUniGuard (talk) 12:26, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Even if the award is important they only report award with high news values. UniGuard (talk) 12:38, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

It's not what you care. This is an encyclopedia and you are one among the "self" proclaimed wikipedia senator, which you not really are. You are just a guy who is trying to implement your own rules behind the shades of wikipedia rules and policies. And you just said Kerala Handloom goodwill ambassador is a simple reward. So you no nothing about Kerala and it's heritage. It's a reputed "honour". And you no more had the eligibility to edit that article. UniGuard (talk) 12:59, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Removing all unsourced ? then what about these articles, let see what will you do about this if you are not targeting a single page at a corner of little known kerala.

Erdogan and Cuba

I know that Erdogan is not a historian, scholar or anything, but I added that paragraph as the source stated scholarly consensus against that hypothesis. That such consensus has had to be taken would suggest that he was not the first person to ever make that hypothesis. '''tAD''' (talk) 22:44, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

@The Almightey Drill: If there is evidence that we can frame in the article that it was a notable fringe position/held by people that might make an influence, then sure. But we dont need to quote every self-promoter who says something quite obviously looney and discredited. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:49, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Alex_Young_(singer)_(2nd_nomination) and related

Hi; you might want to reconsider adding the album and single to that AfD - it's pretty bad form to add them in the middle of the debate (see Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_nominate_multiple_related_pages_for_deletion). They're better off as separate discussions. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

There has been one comment total. If there is not sufficient evidence for the artist then there sure as hell is not going to be for the single or the album. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:30, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

In which case case they can be speedied under A9. I'm not saying they'll survive, I'm saying it's bad form to bundle things in the middle of a discussion. If people have the AfD on their watchlist they're unlikely to notice the recordings got added, since your edit summary wasn't exactly precise either. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

i dont see how ninja speedy-ing hours after an AfD would be "more fair" or "better form" than giving several days notice to improve along with the main article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Not sure why "more fair" is in quotes there but hey. I'll comment on the AfD to draw attention to the fact you've added them into the discussion (since you didn't). It's best to keep things as clear as possible, don't you think? Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Grave Peril

With fifteen other books in the Dresden files each warranting an article on wikipedia, Grave Peril is notable. Ngebendi (talk) 18:37, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

@Ngebendi: An editor making the claim that an subject is notable must actually , you know, provide sources that indicate that the subject has been noted. And pointing at other articles that ALSO fail to meet the requirements is not evidence. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:40, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Notability issue has been dealt with some time ago for Cold Days, if I remember correctly. Ngebendi (talk) 18:42, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

That sources may have been found for "cold days" does not in any way impact the fact that ZERO sources have been provided for Grave Peril in 6 months since the article was officially tagged as not having any sources and the SIX YEARS it sat without sources prior to that time. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:46, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Dude you need to actually read the policies. "Being part of a series " is NOT given as a criteria in any of the pages discussing our notability policy see WP:N particularly WP:NOTINHERITED and the "notability for beginners" WP:42. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:03, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

OK... Agreed on the fact that the two of us counterediting each other and getting riled up won't work. You have issues with this page's notability, I have issues with the focus on only one page among however many there are, fifteen or sixteen, some people show.

Let us see if we can get something done on all the Dresden files pages so to keep everything consistent. The plot issue is probably moot, those sections were longer some time ago and shorten by a kind soul. The notability, and links, is the issue we have to deal with. Suggestions on how to go about it? Ngebendi (talk) 19:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

I agree that there is a lot of clean up that needs to be done with the series. WP:WAF / WP:N / WP:OR / WP:NOTFANSITE are violated up the kazoo up and down the articles related to the series. But to present the front that no clean up can be done unless all are cleaned up is a non-starter. Clean up has to start some where and Grave Peril is as good as any. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:30, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Alex Jones

Hi Red Pen! I had a question about one of your edits to the page Alex Jones that I did not understand. I saw that you did delete some information in the Charity section, which I didn't mind. However, I did not understand why you deleted what I had written about Tumble being canceled. What happened was I had read about the cancellation on Digital Spy and I and user SolomonMcKenzie added it to the end of the paragraph about Jones presenting Tumble with the Digital Spy source right after it. Then a few hours you reverted and said it was POV. I did not understand and reverted it but you reverted again saying " POV presentations are ONLY justified on your personal blog". I'm curious what that means and why writing "On 14 November 2014, the BBC decided to axe the show after just one series." with the source from DS which is still there at the end of the paragraph is POV? It's a sourced fact about Jones hosting Tumble but the programme being cancelled after one series. In fact there are many articles about the same subject. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a610036/tumble-axed-by-bbc-one-after-one-series-in-difficult-decision.html

I didn't want to revert it yet again but decided to ask you about your reasons for editing before doing anything to that paragraph on Alex Jones' page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!74.15.186.97 (talk) 02:44, 18 November 2014 (UTC) samusek2

I can understand that, but would it be all right to use alternative words to say it better, like "On 14 November, the BBC chose not to renew the programme for a second series.", if you don't like "axed". Just a suggestion, as not to make it sound too harsh. 74.15.186.97 (talk) 02:55, 18 November 2014 (UTC)samusek2

Re this edit, shouldn't a citation link actually lead to a source of some kind? What's WP:V without verifiability? ‑‑Mandruss ☎ 12:54, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

see my response at Talk:Neil_Francis_(broadcaster)#Suspension. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:03, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I did. So that cite provides verifiability for readers who (1) know what an article talk page is, and (2) read the article's talk page when they discover that the citation doesn't point to anything useful. Assuming that the talk page section hasn't been archived. Such a practice would seem to undermine reader trust in Misplaced Pages's principle of verifiability. And we already had sufficient sourcing anyway, we didn't need that source. ‑‑Mandruss ☎ 13:10, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

WP:SOURCEACCESS a link in the footnote is merely a convenience. with the paper name, date, article name, and author, (now all in the citation) the cite is a valid one. we do not know when kentonline may change their archiving policy and make the old pages available again. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:25, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I accept that the edit follows the letter of a bad policy. Finis. ‑‑Mandruss ☎ 13:36, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Please don't go against 3O

Please don't go against the 3O on my talk page. As per the 3O by Michael you should not delete referenced info and the quotes aren't promotional and can be included, just that to avoid claims of having too many quotes you must instead convert them to text. Please refer to the 3O by Michael on my talk page and don't go against it. Tamravidhir (talk!) 17:40, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Course Reference Number

I hate to hassle you, but can you reconsider your proposed deletion? This is a fairly commonly used phrase/concept in higher education. It is used in the vast majority of colleges and universities in the United States, and our readers will likely look it up here. Is there any way you can do some more research before you continue support its deletion? Bearian (talk) 16:38, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

@Bearian: Its a classic WP:DICDEF - the only possible thing we can say about it is what the definition is- nothing about it. I am not seeing anything different. Unless you can provide sources that talk about history and evolution, impact, schools of thought, cultural impact, "The Great Course Reference Number Controversy of '08". etc. Merely existing or being common is not sufficient. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:47, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
