Hi Jakandsig! I've been looking at some of your edits and you seem to really know your stuff - thanks for the information and references. However, I'm noticing that you aren't properly identifying where the URLs go to: for example the name of the newspaper and the date of the article - and you tend to put a summary of the information as the name of the link, rather than the actual title of the page or newspaper article. This is misleading because your summaries are not the actual titles, it makes it hard to see how reliable the sources are (some are personal blogs, which should be avoided), and it may make it difficult to reconstruct the source if the URL changes or becomes a dead link. You can use citation templates or not, as you prefer, but please use the exact title rather than a summary, and say who published the item and for a newspaper, on what date. This page is an introduction to referencing including tutorials for using source code and visual editor (I notice you are using visual editor - I wouldn't recommend that myself, and I suspect that's why you sometimes use [[ ]], the code for an internal link, instead of [ ], the code for a URL, but it's your choice). ... I hope these pointers and the various links in the template above will be helpful. Thanks again! Yngvadottir (talk) 18:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit War Warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Indrian (talk) 18:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:53, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Indrian (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

January 2014

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring on Philips CD-i. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Toddst1 (talk) 20:47, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Sony CD-I player.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sony CD-I player.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Continued abuse

User:Indrian Is talking about RFC's and such without even talking to me. But then again, he knows he can get away with such things including reverting whole areas of edits when only talking about one piece and not having to read sources of many articles as you can just use seniority to get what you want. I believe you will now be abusing this privilege and am not sure what the issue is. Never attemptong to resolve anything on talk, yet seeing your conversations with others you are clearly on a bias run and are specifically nit picking on me. But I do not know what he is really trying to do. half the articles are supported by him filled with unsourced material. I bring in sources and you do not read them. Why?

But apparently talking is out of the question for this guy, now he talks about RFC behind my back. This is why half the wikipedia pages are not considered quality and completely garbled, you keep making changes you want to see, don't read what other users put in, and ignore the people when they are not arguing on your side of bias. If not then I have no clue what you are doing.

User:Indrian's abuse of seniority will probably aid him in continuing to have multiple unsourced articles filled with references that are unrelated and then call them disrruptive without even looking at those sources. Luckily a third-party had removed a ton of these recently at least in ONE article, the video game crash article anyway.

I would be more than happy to tal with User:Indrian but it seems he would rather go the route of being mean spirited and because he knows he can do it. That seems to be his way of doing things.

Well there we go

user:Indrian Has found another person to abuse wiki seniority with. I also like how instead of talking he usually just revers and posts his messages in the edit section instead of talk pages or to express his concerns directly to the other user. It seems user:Indrian Is not even trying to resolve any issues nor has he really attempted, he usually just reverts whole sections, sometimes leaving in statements not even in the referenced source. I am actually trying to wonder if he realizes that he is not actually reading the sources that he is supporting. This could possibly all be a misunderstanding and would like to point it out to him. Sadly, user:Indrian Has decided to oince again not provide any contact for his concerns and deciding why do that when i can just make an rfc. Even a third-party contributor in one article recently removed a lot of unsourced and false quotes that user:Indrian himself DID not see yet has supported the current state of the article since before I joined.

I suppose the reason why he has not reverted that guy is his red username. Maybe that means he is an administrator or a long stay. Maybe he's only picking on me. It would help if user:Indrian tried to actually use the talk page. His or mine would do. But I am not sure what he is doing.
