98.216.243.219

Even though there was no problem, the article was fixed. you banned me, why? --98.216.243.219 (talk) 23:12, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Bluntly:

• You are still adding in unreferenced material. (multiple articles at the point you were blocked)
• The edit you made that was referenced in the block template was an instance of you essentially vandalising an article because you didn't like it.
• You insist on editing without providing informative, constructive comments.

Continuing with at least 2 of these editing practices will get you blocked again, even if someone else fixes your edits.

On which articles?--98.216.243.219 (talk) 23:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

You don't even watch the show do you? --98.216.243.219 (talk) 18:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Bluntly: If you are adding material that reads as an interpretation - the viewer filling in the blanks - it does not belong in a Wikipedia article. If you can source it to a reliable, verifiable secondary source, add the source when you add the information. You've been told this before.

Now - Is there any source that states the character's ancestry has been left vague because of another character's preferences? Or is it something you stuck in because you assumed plot point B must have dictated plot point A? Lacking a source, all that is valid for inclusion is that the character's parents provide conflicting information and that no resolution is provided.

Sorry if you don't like that, but Wikipedia is not here for you to publish your pet theories or fan speculation.

"Now - Is there any source that states the character's ancestry has been left vague because of another character's preferences" Yes, the same episode, The Color Ruckus, of the paragraph I put it in. --98.216.243.219 (talk) 20:03, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Really? The naration says that? Neither parent's story is confirmed because of the prefrences shown by one? It seems neither is confirmed because neiter is confirmed. Reading the writers mind, ascribing a motive to wwhat they wrote, without having a reliable secondary source - like an inrterview - is interpritation. - J Greb (talk) 23:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Darkbeast.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Darkbeast.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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 07:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit request

Hi, the article: Max Eckhardt is protected, I was wondering if you'd consider redirecting it to the article: Batman (1989 film), per feedback I have received here. No worries if you can't :) Ryan4314 (talk) 17:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I over protected it... I'll fix that an put in the redirect. - J Greb (talk) 18:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Batman vs joker.JPG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Batman vs joker.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hugahoody (talk) 21:13, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry about that. Do you have access to the video game in order to take a new screenshot as a png file? Hugahoody (talk) 21:41, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I'll bear that in mind. If you could upload that file again it would be very helpful. Hugahoody (talk) 21:52, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Whereabouts is the file so I can get to work? Hugahoody (talk) 22:07, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do though it may be tricky. Hugahoody (talk) 22:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Ceoil (talk) 03:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)== Family ==

I have corrected the family sub-section of Lakshmi Mittal which sure looked biased, derogatory and without any reference link.Varanwal (talk) 20:47, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Civility

Please dont warn me on civility issues when you have clearly no reading of the context. Random postings from uninformed admins I can live without. Ceoil (talk) 03:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Three things, and they are a bit inter related:

• This was based on the information brought to a wider view at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies)‎‎ concerning four articles. Based on what's been going on there, neither of you is blameless.
• If you have additional information regarding Wikihounding, please, post all the particulars to Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts, or if it's more than that WP:AN.
• You might want to avoid "...going through FAs of mine..." or at least rephrase it as "...going through FAs I've worked on..." While I can understand an investment of time and energy in working on an article, sounding like it's your article goes over poorly.

And on last based on you post here: I posted here as an editor, not an admin - see the initial line. I'm sorry you feel this is intrusive, but that is the nature of things. I'm also sorry you feel that civility can be hung if you feel another editor, in this case the one wanting to add the infoboxes, is being uncivil with you. Think of it this way: with a neutral tone to your posts to the article talk pages, the reaction to their post to the MoS talk would have been "And there's a good consensus for the status quo. The problem is?"

- J Greb (talk) 03:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Often times civility dont cut it. There are many people who you need to cut through, if bogging yourself down to thier level is going to lead an endless arguments of attrition. In other words, and again, get lost. Ceoil (talk) 04:08, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Its ok I see where you are coming from, and that you are well intentioned. Bygons? Ceoil (talk) 09:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

J Greb, just a word, and its not a put down, its just something I see you have not copped; content people have a horror of Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts and WP:AN as a circus of fools; people who are only interested in articles just dont do that. Instead of suffering fools and drama mongeres we talk bluntly. I've had plenty of disputes and been taken to AN/I often, but not once by somebody I later came to respect (and there have been a few). Ceoil (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

A word to correct a misapprehension of Ceoil. My edits to the articles had nothing to do with him or his actions on any other article. I started my first edit to William Butler Yeats before I saw Ceoil's edit to Jacob Epstein. I didn't "stalk" his articles because I'd never even heard of him. I'd noticed a comment by Truthkeeper88 on Modernist's talk page pointing out that a specific set of four articles didn't have infoboxes. I took a look at those four articles and thought that adding infoboxes would be an improvement. Ceoil's attitude and hostility based on a false assumption was galling, so I persisted in pursuing it, but did not follow to any additional article beyond those I'd seen mentioned in Truthkeeper's comment. So I have to agree with J Greb, personal attacks and hostility made the situation worse, not better. Yworo (talk) 14:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

What made the situation worse was to take my comment to Modernist, which was a suggestion about building a nav template for a specific set of articles and would have been an improvement, and decide to move against those articles. Yworo didn't realize that because these articles are all interrelated they are watched by the content editors who build them. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 15:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Ceoil, I can appriciate your position. And I can also appriciate your POV on the notice boards. Yes, there does tend to be an large amount of drama and abuse on the notice boards, unfortunately it isn't limited to there. Looking at the dialogue you and Yworo are having on their talk page, its encouraging to see. Thanks for taking that step. - J Greb (talk) 17:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

List Of Punisher Comics.

Brother. With all due respect, Is that page not a list of comics. How is it were writing a Wikipedia article Punisher "COMIC LIST"?? I myself have tried to keep that list up for 4 years. Where were you?--Pun Fan (talk) 23:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
