Chris Redfield GAN

First of all I would just like to say thank you for all your help on Chris' page. You have done a wonderful job fixing the citations and trimming down the RE6 synopsis. Now I just have one question, what did you mean when you said you'd help if additional references are needed? PanagiotisZois (talk) 20:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello @PanagiotisZois: I was not sure if if the plot section of Chris Redfield's article needed additional references. I believe Freikorp commented, "A large portion of the text in the 'Resident Evil games' is unreferenced. Everything needs to be backed up by a reliable source, or removed.", but he has since reported this issue has been fixed. We should be good to go with that issue and no further references should be needed. I am happy to help! Please let me know if you need anything else. Keep up the good work. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  21:37, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Why do remove good edits?

Why? Don't reply on my page either. Reply here, please.PeterMan844 (talk) 16:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

What does sentence have to do with Resident Evil 7? Let's break down this contribution:

“ Tokyo Maru also announced a limited edition gun based on the weapon Redfield uses, indicating that it's a gun that has so far only been used by the protagonists. ”

• Tokyo Maru also announced – They did not announce this; they merely have a link to it on their website. Again, what is the relationship between this and Resident Evil 7. This is not considered a proper citation.
• ...limited edition gun based on the weapon Redfield uses – When was the last time he used this gun in canon? In Resi 5 - No? In Resi 6 -No?
• indicating that it's a gun that has so far only been used by the protagonists – This is an inaccurate statement; STARS members use the Samurai Edge, not just protagonists. You consider Wesker a protagonist? Even the listing for the item has a STARS insignia in the corner.

But then we look at the overall context of this addition and the statement you added alongside:

• Allthough it remains to be seen if this is truly Chris Redfield or someone using his name , Capcom has announced – You understand the contraction and uncertainty in this statement? It's horribly written and invalidates the preceding statements in the paragraph, which implies the character at the end of the game is not Chris Redfield. Yes, Capcom stated, "Chris Redfield returns in the free “Not A Hero” DLC for #RE7 this Spring. Who or what is he chasing? Find out soon in this separate story." Yet suddenly we assume he's the star of the DLC? He will be in the DLC, there's no official word yet in what role or if he is in fact the character at the end of the game. Why are we jumping the gun over a single tweet meant as a teaser? There's no context in it whatsoever. Wikipedia has a zero tolerance policy towards speculation, and yet you induce it blatantly with this statement over a single tweet. News articles do this to get views.

What is the ultimate purpose behind the Samuri Edge statement? That character named 'Chris Redfield' is in fact the Chris Redfield because he wields the same gun? We don't allow that - you would have known this if you read WP:SYN. You deliberately added this line right after a section discussing Resident Evil 7. I do not know what to tell you if you still think it's acceptable to add statements in the form of speculative prose. Your assumption may very well be true, but it does not belong on an encyclopedia until it's confirmed. You should know this, We've 'suggested' this to you five+ times now? [1][2][3][4][5]. Then again you seem to a fan edited site that mirrors Wikipedia is reliable source. In that case, please be more careful. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  17:55, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

@PeterMan844: - Related to this, your revised edit to Chris Redfield was much better. Just remember you can only add content that is explicitly stated within the reference. At this point in time, the source you added makes no mention that Chris will in-fact be the protagonist or even a playable character in the DLC. At this point the media is only going off the Tweet that CapCom made that merely stated Chris Redfield will return in the DLC. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  00:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

@PeterMan844: - You should report vandalism to WP:AIV. But you need to issue at-least three separate warnings before reporting them. If you feel an editor or anon is only using an account for disruptive or vulgar edits, warn them once and create a report. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  23:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Chester Bennington

I see you reported the IP that was disrupting this page. But another IP has come along and is making the same edits. I don't know how many times I have reverted their edits and I don't think they will be willing to talk about it on the talk page. This could be the same person doing these edits. Also I requested the page to be protected at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection about an hour or two ago. Bowling is life (talk) 19:10, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bowling is life:, I think it's the same user based on the new comment they left on your talk page. I say we should let the 3RR Noticeboard staff deal with this - hold off any any reverts for now until they either ban the user or lock the article. I do not think this user is interested in having a meaningful content discussion. I updated my incident report to include the new IP and the personal attack that was left on your Talk page. They should have enough evidence to handle this. You may want to update the Request for protection to include multiple IP's as opposed to single IP. ;) --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  19:17, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

@StarScream1007: I updated my request. I'll hold off on reverts on Chester's page but it looks like the IP user left another message on my talk page. Bowling is life (talk) 19:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bowling is life: a SysOp has locked the page for a month. The 3RR case is still open so I'm not sure if they will block the IPs. This is a better resolution given that anon is trying to block-dodge by using multiple IPs. We've done our due diligence by offering the user to have a serious decision but they refused on multiple tries. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  22:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit on Chester Bennington's page. However, I think a section titled "Health" should mention Bennington's health issue. This is a disconcerting pattern on pages of people who have committed suicide. Everything seems to be going well for them, until they take their own life! Most people committing suicide suffer from deep mental issues. In the case of Bennington, this is well documented and deserves mention, at least in my eyes. Right now, the page doesn't contain a single mention of the word "depression". What do you think? Antoine jed (talk) 13:54, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

@Antoine jed:, we would need a reliable source that explicitly states he was diagnosed as clinically depressed by a professional at the time of his death as opposed to exhibiting symptoms associated with depression. The article mentions he was emotionally distraught over the death of his friend, Chris Cornell, in the time leading up to his death. Thanks,--  StarScream1007  ►Talk  15:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Chicago Cubs history

someone had Falling short on 2017, maybe we should keep that, I think we need to put something for 2018 so people can know an explanation of what happened this season — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 23:39, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

@The Speller: - I most definitely agree with you. However, it's advised to avoid terms like 'falling short', 'inconsistent', 'struggled'. Wikipedia considers these 'weasel words'. We should instead directly specify why or how the team fell short - ex, "Yu Darvish was injured for 70% of the season?" or "The team averaged less than 3 runs per game (just throwing out numbers) in September". Lastly the section would need some sort of source - an article from ESPN, SI, or the Trib that verifies the previous statement. Does this help? --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  02:32, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Well I think we should put back the explanation of this season back on here while we can think about putting a new word for 2018:

Please take the time to actually read and understand the policies/guidelines I stated in my previous response and re-consider your suggestion. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  18:40, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

ok how come y'all scratched out about Yu Darvish season? Brandon Morrow? etc, And the collapsing in September? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 17:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I have no problem with the induction of the material so long as it is written coherently, professionally, and in accordance with Wikipedia's core policies. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  19:21, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Falling short was on their for like a year after they got eliminated NLCS why change it now lol — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 05:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/08/21/yu-darvish-injury-stress-reaction-elbow-triceps-strain-cubs

so the Giants can have 'Inconsistent struggles' on theirs but the Cubs can't have 'Falling short'? Yeah that makes no sense

Since you’re a novice editor with less than one year of experience, I strongly recommend you take the time to read WP:NPOV and WP:Weasel, which explain why to avoid using vague/generic phrases like ,‘Struggle’, ‘Inconsistent’, and ‘Falling Short’. These terms will be flagged and removed in almost any article that has been peer-reviewed or copy-edited. In the Cubs ~140 year existence, they have only won the world series three times – does that mean they fell short 137 times? Of Course – unless having at least one player with ambiguous morality on your roster is considered exceeding expectations. Sure, there are other articles that use that terminology but that does not make it right – you will seldomly see this verbiage in any GA-FA-class article. The logic ‘something is broken there, it’s okay to do it here’ is the most decadent and inacceptable grounds for inclusion on not only Wikipedia, but any medium.

However, I thank you for providing these good sources on the injuries that will be used to add information to the section to explain the Cubs fall futility. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  18:05, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

all I want is the stuff when someone put about the 2018 season about Yu Darvish, Brandon Morrow, etc that was on their before you deleted all of it, I just want it back on here like it was Wednesday. It was perfectly fine on here on the article talking about what happened to Yu Darvish and the others — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 21:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

May I suggest 2015-present: Playoff run or something similar like 2015-present: Championship Run? How do you think that will be?

Hi,

Rick Gosselin is a NFL Hall of Fame voter, Dick McCann Memorial Award honoree and considered by the football world as the top source for Special teams. His Dallas Morning News annual special teams rankings are quoted in numerous publications and considered the gold standard of the industry. To discard his work and say that his publications are with a "poor reputation" is a insult to him and to journalism.

I don't know why you chose this specific article for your "Watchlist", but I corrected a lot of the mistakes I did at the beginning of my contribution after you pointed my errors. My contributions are verifiable through reliable sources and added after a long research and cross-checking. In the past you deleted a references from verified sources such as Chicago Tribune, ESPN and other major newspapers across america, so the cancelling of my work starting to look arbitrary.

Please take this into your consideration.

Wikipedia has a policy against Self-Published Sources. The source you provided is not notable and is self-published. We generally avoid self-published sources unless they are well-established and cited/used by other sources. However, FiveThirtyEight is a self-published website, but is often used by major sports and politics website for information. This is not a shot at Gosselin. If his roster was published on SI, like this one [6], we'd have another story. We can definitely add Gosselin's comments again if you can find it another medium that meets WP:RS. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  21:55, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

That exactly the point!

His work quoted in numerous publications and official teams websites [7], [8] that consider him as the top source for Hall of Fame data and Special Teams units.

The example you gave is exactly the opposite from your point. Yes, it was published on well-established site (SI), but was just a fun exercise and have no formal merit (but you can understand how important he is, by the fact he was invited as an outsider). As I said before, Gosselin's work is the gold standard in the industry, his publications go online after a long research and cross-checking from numerous sources and talks with coaches, players and sport historians - something you can check on simple google search.

His sources (and mine for that matter) are legit, pleas treat them as such.

StanleyKey (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Neither source uses the given article as a source. We're not talking about Gosselin as a unreliable source, but rather the media in question that is quotes for failing WP:SPS. However, given your making a good faith edit, I'm not going to contest this anymore, but cannot say the same for other editors. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  16:11, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Cubbie15fan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Kerry Wood 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. As a note, Randy Johnson did also strike out 20 batters in nine innings. Here is a link to the box score. Hope this helps. Cubbie15fan (talk) 19:37, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

The wordage is interesting here. Randy Johnson only struck out 19 batters in an actual 9-inning game. The 20K game was actually an 11-inning game, though Johnson only pitched in 9 of those. I suppose the statement would have been true should it have said, "Most K's through 9 innings" :) --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  19:59, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Exactly Brother Exactly

You gave the reason for your edit here Special:diff/889171420 as : There's no policy against mentioning this here in the lead paragraph, especially since it's not mentioned elsewhere.. And im totally convinced about this because i too know about policies of Wikipedia. But many corrupt Wikipedians with many no. of edits, disrespect wikipedia by neglecting all the rules and doing whatever they want. Now coming onto the point. A day ago, I added a ranking of Pearl Jam in a reader's poll by Rolling Stone whose citation was derived from Rolling Stones' official site here Special:diff/889044457, thus prooving the reliability. But some administrators like Lugnuts and the most corrupt wikipedian of all i.e. RegentsPark reverted it continuously as one can see here Special:diff/888800482, here Special:diff/888930921, hereSpecial:diff/888946449, and here Special:diff/889079281, thus breaking the three-revert rule of Wikipedia. Also, Lugnuts removed a sourced content which was referenced with reliable source here Special:diff/889092793 saying that being at 93rd in all time list of artists of all genres isn't significant. One should notice the fact that the list didn't contain bands like Iron maiden, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Grateful Dead. Even a person of unsound kind can judge that this is the peak of disruptive editing and vandalism by these two guys. Lugnuts should be given a last warning or maybe punishment but RegentsPark deserves to be impeached from his status of administrator because i reported a similar activity from him of continuous reverting 2 months ago. You can have Ritchie333 and Martinevans123 as a witness. He helped me a lot in that case. But the question, will you too help me in exposing these corrupt guys to the authority. Ritchie i don't know why isn't replying to me. So i am kind of not able to handle though i have done so in past. So i ask for your helping hand. I am Former wikipedian HardSunBadMoon a.k.a Chandra Shekher Mishra.
