Categories

Please do not add religion, ethnic, or descent categories or information to biography articles without first ensuring that 1) the category is supported by reliably sourced article content and 2) the individual identifies as such. Please see WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS for additional information. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:41, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Seems you've already gotten a note about edits like this. Let me repeat:

• Use edit summaries to explain your edits.
• Changes to categories need to reflect the content of the article and be sourced. Not just at editorial whim.
• If you cannot or will not do this, your disruptive editing can and will likely see you ability to edit temporarily suspended to stop the disruption and give you a chance get up to speed on how things are done on Wikipedia.

Thanks,

- J Greb (talk) 22:22, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

This is not appropriate. Consider this a final warning - adding categories in this manner again will result in you being blocked.

Recent edits to LGBT rights by country or territory

Thanks for your additions to the LGBT rights article. However, I think they may be better suited for our article LGBT history, as a lot of the content you've added isn't really about legal status at all. What do you think? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, IceBrotherhood. You have new messages at Talk:Asian American.
Message added 14:31, 16 March 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

June 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Asian American, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Removed content was reverted per WP:BRD. Continuing to remove content without reaching a consensus could be seen as beginning an edit war. Please discuss the content in the section which already exists on the talk page.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Final warning

I've warned you in the past that the addition of ethnic and descent categories to biography articles when the inclusion is not supported by reliable sources is a violation of BLP policy, yet you continue to add the inappropriate categories. If it continues you will be blocked from editing. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 23:36, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

July 2013

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Atlantic slave trade, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

• If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
• If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Dougweller (talk) 10:37, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

May I suggest moving the article Portrayal of East Asians in Hollywood to Yellowface in Hollywood?

The entire article focuses on the racial injustices against East Asians in Hollywood. If you're that keen on keeping the page with only yellowface-related material than I suggest you move the page. It is important to list East Asians characters that aren't subjected to yellowface. So before we start an edit war, what do you think? I would need some help on starting a non-yellowface list. Lhw1 (talk) 08:36, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes it seems like the current page has all of its focus on yellowface and discrimination and everything else about portrayals of East Asians have pretty much fallen by the wayside. We can move what we have now to Yellowface in media or something similar. And then just have yellowface as a sub-section in the current page, which should really be an article about portrayals of East Asians in general.Lhw1 (talk) 09:14, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Feel free to take the initiative. I only really identify and tweak articles for mistakes and inconsistencies, but this is a step in the right direction I think. I'll keep an eye out. Lhw1 (talk) 09:52, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Yea, go ahead. Lhw1 (talk) 10:06, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

How about copying and pasting from one Wikipedia article to another?

Main page: Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia

Yes, you can copy parts of one Wikipedia article into another, but you must link to the source article in your edit summary. Original content contributed by users can be freely used if the original author is properly attributed. -- Moxy (talk) 05:01, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

‎Casta discrimination

Can we get you to read over WP:BALASPS before making huge section on over view article. Perhaps best the info is not copy and pasted all over? -- Moxy (talk) 05:16, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Are you reading whats above

If your not willing to follow our basic policies I will have to bring this to admins attention - up to you at this point -- Moxy (talk) 06:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Ok then

After reading the reply on my talk page - I am not sure what to say - I will say you need to work on your social sills here - as profanity filled rants wont get you far. So since its clear your not sure what to do - I will be blut - I dont care what your copy and pasting all over ... If your going to do it try doing in a manner outlined in the policy I listed above then it may not be reverted. Also try to be balanced in your approach to the content size. Sorry to hear your having trouble - if you need help best you try asking at the WP:Teahouse as i am not to inclined to help at this point Moxy (talk) 06:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

There is lots to rap your head around here. I see by edits like this made a few days ago you still need some guidance - you could look over Wikipedia:Tutorial - I really do suggest you stop by the Teahouse - the people there can help you with your Dominant minority problem and show you how to copy and paste within the Encyclopedia. -- Moxy (talk) 07:27, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

White Latin American

Your recent additions to White Latin American page are not verifiable by a WP:RS. If you disagree please don't just WP:edit war, open a discussion on the talk page and we can sort it out. Tobus2 (talk) 07:43, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Your WP:UNDUE additions to leads

Please stop adding those "hungriest nations" rankings to the leads of many articles. They are undue weight for one statistic from one relatively obscure and lesser known source, and at most they can be added to a relevant section in the body. If you continue to re-add them to the lead an administrator will be forced to deal with you accordingly, which of course includes blocks. If you have objections, concerns, or questions you can take it up with an administrator but please follow the general guidelines. Cadiomals (talk) 08:49, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

While I wouldn't rush in and be talking about "blocks" and administrators, I must say that Cadiomals does have a point about the hunger edits, at least in the lead, being undue. kind regards --Merbabu (talk) 10:30, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Magiciandude. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Latin American music, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Erick (talk) 19:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Latin American music, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You need to include a source in the lead that supports Asian music being part of Latin American music. Erick (talk) 08:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Languages of Africa

Please stop - Spanish is an official language of the African Union (AU) and of Equatorial Guinea. I'd appreciate it if you'd revert yourself. Dougweller (talk) 09:10, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

March 2017

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Lion (2016 film), without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 07:08, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Egypt, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Dawnseeker2000 17:15, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Zimbabwe does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Strawberry4Ever (talk) 00:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TheFarix. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fate/Zero, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You seem to have problems determining what sources are reliable and what are not. Also, the source must directly state the genre of the work, not simply imply it. —Farix (t | c) 11:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Neon Genesis Evangelion, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —Farix (t | c) 18:28, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Gen Urobuchi. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Farix (t | c) 07:00, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

January 2018

Hello, I'm Username Needed. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of Fate/stay night characters without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ^{[Username Needed]} 11:57, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Carrie Keranen in Fate/Zero

Can you provide some news articles that show this is a major role for Carrie Keranen's career? I don't see it as notable as what she has done on Kill la Kill, which had a run on Adult Swim and is her most notable role. It may be okay for the biography section of the article, but it doesn't need to be listed in the lead paragraph unless it's standing out. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:23, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Angel Beats!, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. —Farix (t | c) 02:28, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Asian Americans content proposals

As an editor who has contributed to Asian Americans in recent months, I'd like you to know I've been posting a number of proposals on the talk page. I have been slow-walking the proposals since late April, but few others have contributed to the discussion. Your participation in establishing a consensus for or against the proposals would help the article. Thanks! --Ishu (talk) 02:55, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

List of breakout characters

Hi. Please stop adding uncited material to articles, as you did with your edits to List of breakout characters here and here, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy. As you've been warned about this before, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

In addition, you removed content in another one of your edits, but without explaining why you removed it in your edit summary. When removing material, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, so I want to understand clearly. I can add or change content of an article on wikipedia so long as I have a reliable source, even in a film article? (talk) 17:06, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

No. Verifiability is a requirement for inclusion, not the requirement for inclusion. You may want to look over WP:ONUS. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 01:41, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Nothing has changed since the discussion last year so you need to stop adding tragedy as a genre to films and TV shows. Your editing is WP:DISRUPTIVE. You can try posting about this at the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film but I don't see that anything has changed since the last discussion. MarnetteD|Talk 23:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Game of Thrones Infobox refs

Hi IceBrotherhood, hope you are well. Just a heads up, I saw you undid my edit over at Game of Thrones regarding genre references in the infobox. I went ahead and reformatted the book reference you added originally and moved other refs around. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Model minority removed section

Hi IceBrotherhood, PinkElixir here. I've been working on restructuring the model minority page for a couple months now; I think we can both agree it needs some work. I noticed you recently removed the section about Taiwanese Americans. Could you please explain why you felt it was necessary to remove an entire section? I agree with you that it seemed irrelevant to the topic the way it was written, but some of the information in it could have been intertwined into another section. In addition, I noticed you added unsourced information about Vietnamese and Cambodian immigration. Can you please cite credible sources for that information?

Thanks! PinkElixir (talk) 14:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

List of Academy Award winners and nominees of Asian descent

I'm not sure why you are removing entries from this list. If a person is of Asian descent, that is still true even if they are born in Asia. A Chinese person from China is still of Chinese descent. ... discospinster _talk 14:09, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

There's already an article called List of Asian Academy Award winners and nominees. The article about descent should have more focus and descent is almost universally used for those born outside of a country of ancestral origin. Rarely is it used for people and citizens from said country or origin. Even if what you say is true it's very seldom used in that context. And this article should have focus and since there's not one an article that focuses on those born outside their country of ancestral origin and those who immigrate out of their country of birth this article is perfect for that. Why create this article and specify descent if you literally have a List of Asian Academy Award winners and nominees article? It defeats the purpose and you only want specific individuals over others just because they're more widely recognised. If you're argument is correct then why don't you transfer every name from the List of Asian Academy Award winners and nominees over to the descent article? IceBrotherhood talk 16:42, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Columbus (2017 film)

I'd like to get your opinion on the quality of the article Columbus (2017 film).

I think it is fair to say the article Columbus (2017 film) is better than Start class and at least C class. Even B class maybe? I could just change it based on my own evaluation but I'd prefer to get a second opinion from someone else who is interested in the article.

I can't think of anything obviously missing from the article. I do still think the Plot section is excessively terse but I don't think that needs to be a sticking point.

Your opinion? (I'll check back later, so comment here or reply on the article talk page if you like). -- 109.77.211.63 (talk) 22:28, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
