O mio babbino caro

Hi. Yes, Evancho is very notable, but hundreds of notable singers have sung and recorded this song. They need not be listed in the article about the song unless, say, they released a single of it that went to #1. Note that the article does specifically mention that crossover singers have sung the song. The number is certainly one of Evancho's signature numbers, but come back to me in 10 years, and we'll re-evaluate if Evancho is one of the all-time most famous singers of the number like Maria Callas, who isn't even mentioned in the article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Need assistance on Elvis related articles

I have checked some archived conversations on the article, Elvis Presley,[1] concerning User:Onefortyone, with his same "Elvis died - on toilet" theories. Can you consider having opinion on these two articles, where he continued to add this? They are Graceland and Toilet-related injuries and deaths, discussions at Talk:Graceland#Issues and Talk:Toilet-related injuries and deaths#Issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Excelse (talk • contribs) 10:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lingua franca, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mandarin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Regarding reverting deletion of "sourced edits" on Pokémon Go

I'm not sure what "rules" you are referring to, but I would like to point you to WP:IINFO: "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia". The burden is on the editor who wants to add something to the article to establish consensus for the addition. You can be bold but if it's reverted/removed, you need to discuss it on the talk page before reinstating it, per WP:BRD. – nyuszika7h (talk) 09:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

Your recent editing history at Pokémon Go 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 article's 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.
Please cease adding this content back to the article. Multiple editors have removed it due to prior talk page discussions, and editors have pointed out the talk page and WP:BRD to you. Discuss it on the talk page, stop reverting it back into the article. -- ferret (talk) 21:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Santamoly, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! GABgab 00:58, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for contacting me on my talk page. While I understand that the criteria for sourcing are somewhat looser, I would still appreciate seeing more than just the sourceforge cite, which did not seem like adequate sourcing to me. Adding some other credible, in-depth sources would be helpful if another reviewer comes along. Best, GAB^gab 16:17, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

August 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Pokémon Go are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 06:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Santamoly,

You need to understand that we need several, in-depth reliable sources to be incorporated into the article. Oliver Stone is a film director. He would be a reliable source when it comes to film techniques. A good reliable source would be a newspaper or a news website, like The Times, The Wall Street Journal or CNN. Technology websites like CNET or The Verge would be a good one too. Otherwise there are reliable video game sources, like Game Informer, Gamasutra or Kotaku. If you can't find these, please stop starting new discussions about a CIA involvement in Pokémon Go. I don't think any editor is "nervous" about it, just skeptic about the whole thing. It is detrimental to Wikipedia, and it only takes up our time. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 06:41, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

The Talk Page is about improving the article, but deletion of this topic actually detracts from the quality of the article since the CIA question is widely discussed in current news, by notable sources and famous people. When the topic is buttoned up as some are trying to do, it stifles discussion of a most interesting facet of the game. It's better to leave this content in the main article without trying to shut it down since the topic has legs. Santamoly (talk) 06:51, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Let's keep the discussion in one place, shall we? I try to keep an eye out on talk pages I've responded at. Otherwise you can use {{ping}}, like {{ping|Soetermans}} and I will get a notification.

It is not "widely discussed in current news, by notable sources and famous people". If it was, how come you can't find the sources to back it up? Did you read WP:RS? Please see WP:WEIGHT too. A insignificant minority view of a subject isn't automatically part of its article. Talk pages are intended to discuss possible changed and improvements to the article, but no other editor is agreeing with you, so the topic doesn't have legs either. So unless you can find reliable sources, please do not start another pointless discussion. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 07:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Just my two cents, probably best to drop the CIA thing for the time being. Even if it were true, it would take time for something like that to get broad coverage in big name sources. If/when that happens the discussion can always be revisited. But right now I think you're hurting your case a little bit by reopening the discussion over and over. There is WP:NODEADLINE, but it's good that you're keeping an eye out for sources. The New York sex offender thing may be a good catch. We'll see what everyone else thinks.

Barging in by Sinebot

   I'm sorry to arrive here and find you apparently blocked, but hope the underlying dispute can be resolved and you'll be back. My guess is that you can still reply to me on either of our talk pages. (Yours would [obviously?] be smoother, but that convention is not one of the many things i'm compulsive about; i'll check in, decreasingly often, for a while even if you haven't pinged me.)
   I often look at old-but-unarchived talk pages of article pgs, adding missing sigs and annotating multi-edit/single-time-stamp contribs (feel welcome to ask why), and ran across the expression of yours that i adapted for this talk-secn's title. If i didn't fuddle my estimate, you had abt 350 or 400 edits under your belt when you used the expr'n in yr edit summary re Spanish Inquisition (hmm, do we cover the MPython sketch, and link to it from the Dab page?), so it's not obvious you'd had by then a fair chance to figure it out, nor obvious that you'll've figured it out by now, so i'll ask: do you understand why the multi-save/single-sig method is problematic, and that the sandbox solution has numerous advantages?
   Let's discuss, at your convenience. Thanks!
--Jerzy•t 06:58, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Not sure what any of this (e.g. "multi-save/single-sig method") is about. Nor how the Inquisition entered the conversation. But I do enjoy re-runs of Monty Python on YouTube. So if you can explain, I'd be thankful Santamoly (talk) 07:40, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

   Well, then in a sense all is as it shd be, since "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Is the recurring Python punchline, with details available via the SI Dab page. But...
   Yrs ago you edited the tk pg for the medieval SI with several saves but either replacing the timestamp with each edit, or waiting 'til you were done before signing; you replaced at least one User:Signbot sig with a later sig, muddying or rather camoflaging the history of your talk-page edits for that article. And barging was yr term for Signbot doing its job. You'll be reminded if you go look.
--Jerzy•t 12:53, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Was that within the last 10 years? I have no idea how to find such a long-ago item without digging through 1000+ entries line-by-line. My memory doesn't quite go back that far! Even if I found the item, I wouldn't know what to do with it with respect to the concerns expressed. Is it important so many years later? Santamoly (talk) 21:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics.
