Barbie Cancelled Film

Hey there, my friend! Thanks for editing the "Cancelled Film" in Barbie (film series). Anyway, I made some edits to make the sentences more clear. I hope you will not change it again. Thank you. :)

re: January 2014 (One More Night (Maroon 5 song) and One More Night (Phil Collins song))

Hello! You've reverted my information adding [1] in [One More Night (Maroon 5 song)]] because didn't provide a reliable source. As I've that information came from One More Night (Phil Collins song) (as I've pointed out in edit summary), e should remove it from that article too?

And even more the statement that One More Night (Phil Collins song) hit number has no source, should we clean it out? (Maroon 5 song has source). --Perrry Mason Paul Della (talk) 19:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Applejack

Why did you erase Applejack on the tattletale frog? --24.170.75.206 (talk) 22:25, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

After making numerous disruptive edits, you added a character from "My Little Pony" in place of a named character in an episode of "Arthur". This seems extremely unlikely and -- as with all of your edits -- lacked a source. I assume it is vandalism. If you can provide a source for this highly unlikely crossover, feel free to re-add it. Otherwise, realize you are on your final warning before a block. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:15, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

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.

IP now best known for personal attacks

Hi: Before this anon reappears, if he does, regardless of our difference of opinion regarding whether he/she should be considered to be banned, I felt someone should apologize to you for that particularly nasty insult, and the continuing badmouthing. So I will. I'm very sorry you had to read such things. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:06, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I do appreciate your intent here. There is a disconnect: I am not angered so much by the vile personal attacks as I am by the sense that nothing can or should be done about it. This twerp has made it very clear that he feels he is the victim, his actions are completely appropriate and that he will continue edit warring, making personal attacks and evading any blocks.

Gee, let's see how we can accommodate him? No. Blocks are intended to change behavior. His behavior is unacceptable. For the good of the project, he needs to be effectively blocked until such time as the community feels he is worth another chance. He is not heading in that direction, much less there. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:06, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I have now taught him to ping and he's now pinging you and others with insults. I am so sorry :-( Working on getting him to stop. Someone said a range block had been placed. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:51, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

He enjoys making personal attacks. He gets "more satisfaction out of responding viciously than I would out of responding politely, and the end result is exactly the same". Like remarriage, expecting something different from him is the triumph of hope over experience. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:12, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

For the record, @Yngvadottir:, I am not basing anything on a belief that he is banned, only that he is editing in defiance of several active blocks. As he has repeatedly ignored over 50 separate blocks, I fulling intend to revert any edit that I find even slightly questionable. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:21, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks both for the consideration of his edits on the merits and for your latest calm edit to his talk page. (I keep wondering whether I'm being biased assuming it's a man.) FWIW I looked for a recent (2014) source on Tracy Spiridakos' marital status, and in the absence of one, I agree with your reinstating "as of", and you gave a good edit summary there.

If possible, please take a look at this AfD discussion

Hello,

You most likely remember the Michéal Castaldo article. I have nominated one of Castaldo's album articles (Aceto (album)) for deletion. The article doesn't require much analysis, as it is short and has only three references, so I'd very much appreciate it if you expressed your opinion on whether or not the album article should be kept. Also, as I state in the AfD, other articles about Castaldo's albums have the same characteristics, so I don't know how to properly have several articles discussed for preservation or deletion while in theory discussing only one article. I hope that makes sense. Many thanks in advance... Dontreader (talk) 03:09, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Contact

Don't see an explanation for reversion of edits to Contact (novel) article Section labelled Physics uncontroversial and merely links concepts in book to articles on Wikipedia But happy to learn from an older hand! Jid (talk) 22:02, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry my edit summary wasn't clearer.

It isn't that the material is in any way controversial, it's simply that it isn't particularly notable. I don't doubt that the concepts are covered in the novel, it's more that their inclusion is trivial, as evidenced by the fact that there are not independent reliable sources listing them. For comparison, consider where a list of historical figures mentioned in War and Peace would belong in that article. Certainly any concepts (or, in War and Peace, people) that are an important part of a brief summary of the plot should be in the plot summary. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:26, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I suppose notability is in the "in the eye of the noter". I am presenting a paper on "Wormholes in Science Fiction" to a symposium on wormholes at BIS, organised by the i4is and this was part of my research for that. So this material will appear when the symposium is published by i4is. So I'll just cross reference from my paper and leave it to others to make the detailed links to the concepts in Wikipedia.

Tooth fairy

Dear SummerPhD,

Thank you for your revision of the tooth fairy article. In your revision you have removed the image inserted by me earlier this day. I have reviewed your reasons for image removal, and agree that the image was indeed mistakenly placed in a wrong section. I shall therefore shift it to the section "Belief". I hope this revision will be accepted by you and the community.

With best regards, Alexei Antipov (by coincidence also a summer PhD :) )

Secret Gospel of Mark and the Synoptic Problem

Hi, a couple of months back you reverted my edit of a superfluous link in the "Secret Gospel of Mark" page; the link was to The Secret Gospel of Mark and the Synoptic Problem and as I noted in my edit, the article was clearly original research. As I see now, the article in question has been removed. I just wanted to say, I told you so! I had nothing at all to do with the deletion of the article in question, as far as I know. But I too have a Ph.D., in New Testament Studies, and I can spot an "original research" article from a mile away. That's why I removed the link; and now the link appears to be broken on the article. Can I now fix it without your interference? Matthew Baldwin (talk) 18:55, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Ahhh... never mind... someone else already fixed it. Matthew Baldwin (talk) 18:57, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

AND... I want to give you credit for proposing the article for deletion. I guess I did have something to do with that! I edit Wikipedia rarely, and use it frequently. I didn't understand your comment "AfD will take care of it," but having looked a bit deeper, I see you reverted my change, went to AfD, nominated the article ("shotgun wedding," nice one), and the community acted correctly. Kudos. Man I love wikipedia. Matthew Baldwin (talk) 19:08, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I'd been sitting on the The Secret Gospel of Mark and the Synoptic Problem article for a while, fairly certain it was a delete, but I waited: It's pretty far outside of my wheelhouse and, as the topic is pretty specialized, I wanted to be sure it got a fair hearing. Keeping the link in the article was an effort to get knowledgeable eyes on it. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Stop harassing

Your needling and pestering in various forums is highly disruptive. Kindly stop. 200.104.240.11 (talk) 03:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry I have annoyed you. I have not been trying to provoke you.

I have abandoned trying to give you friendly advice on your talk page. Oh well.

I was invited to the page discussing "allision" and intend to follow the issue through.

I have been working on the [[Michelle Thomas page for several years. If you don't want to work with me on that page, you can certainly abandon the page. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

You certainly have been trying to provoke me. Pretending otherwise now is infantile. 200.104.240.11 (talk) 03:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Please assume good faith and discuss content, not editors. Assuming another editor is being "deliberately unreasonable"[2] is a personal attack. Assuming that I am "try(ing) to disrupt" is a personal attack. Calling me "infantile" is a personal attack.

You have spent several years edit warring, making vile personal attacks and evading numerous blocks for your behavior. I am not trying to anger you. Take one piece of advice: Discuss content, not editors. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Don't ask me to assume good faith after you have clearly demonstrated bad faith. Stop harassing me. 200.104.240.11 (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

IP editor above

Hi SummerPhD. Whilst I'm quite sure that you can 'fight your own battles', I noticed the above as your Talk page is on my watchlist as a result of recent actions by another editor. Since this IP editor is engaged in the same behaviour as I dealt with previously, I felt it would not be fair to the earlier editor to not also advise this editor of the same problem. :) --Jeffro77 (talk) 04:08, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

As previously advised at User_talk:Jeffro77#Careful, much of your User page (the first eight sections) appear to fall within the scope of WP:POLEMIC. If you need to maintain these lists, you should probably do so in a separate document on your own computer.--Jeffro77 (talk) 03:45, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Gee, I'm really happy to hear that you are pleased with my efforts. Stay tuned and I will ensure that nothing asinine remains. I want the kittens to be so happy their fucking heads explode. To do otherwise would be asinine. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:37, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

IP editor yet again

Hi: I am of course perfectly ok with you following the IP around for a while and engaging with him/her on talk pages, and you're right, s/he has acquired a bad reputation and will be under extra scrutiny for a while - including the problem of being automatically reverted by people who don't realize s/he's not still blocked. But having told him/her to step back from the personal attacks, it would be unfair of me not to also ask you to stop rubbing his/her nose in that reputation, particularly on other users' talk pages. Assuming someone is vandalizing is pretty bad, even when it may arise from confusion between vandalism and block evasion. Thanks for spending the time to discuss the "best known for" and allision issues; Wikipedia will be better off for these disagreements having been aired and different solutions considered, even if we don't get a consensus on either; even if all we achieve is a useful new definitional link and a reduced incidence of churning by people of differing viewpoints on the two issues. But please keep it as un-snide and un-goading as possible, since sitting down together with cups of tea and coffee is not actually available as a calm-down option. (I suspect the three of us might get along pretty well if it were.) Yngvadottir (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

"...Please back away from the attacks." - Yngvadottir (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I invite you to review his comments since then. He seems to be either unwilling or unable to resist commenting on me and other editors. These in particular seem to merit attention:[3],[4].

Yes, as he said, "someone" asked me to back off. Actually, it was him.[5] As a result, I have discontinued any attempts to make suggestions on his talk page.[6] His response was another personal attack.[7] Since then, he has made repeated additional attacks and has told several editors they are editing in bad faith.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SummerPhD&diff=next&oldid=633049892

He enjoys personal attacks.Saying he gets "more satisfaction out of responding viciously than I would out of responding politely, and the end result is exactly the same". As he has never been effectively blocked for behavior he enjoys, he will continue. If we were to sit down for coffee, he'd call me an idiot for asking if he has tea instead. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:33, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm sure you thought this was hilarious. It wasn't. Stop harassing me. 200.104.240.11 (talk) 03:13, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

You made a personal attack. I removed the personal attack and warned you. If there was any portion of that which you did not understand, please ask an administrator for assistance. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:23, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

You carried out yet another act of petty harassment. The best thing you can do, for all of us, is to stay away from this editor and their edits 03:32, 10 November 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.104.240.11 (talk)

Oh crap.

It seems I really stepped in it at User talk:Matt200055 and User talk:AntiMatt200055. Upon seeing the new User:AntiMatt200055 I hastily created a sock investigation, under the mistaken impression that Matt200055. Yikes. In trying to put this right, I CSD'ed the sock case and asked for an explanation on the user's talk pages. He has given a rather strange response, which might require a brief explanation to the user. Not too horrible yet.

Unfortunately, another user has removed the CSD from the sock case and the discussion at User talk:Matt200055 seems to be going south. Can someone step in? - SummerPhD (talk) 05:16, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

"Water ice"

this poster is also harrasing me and wont give me an actual reason for why, he says its for discussion about the topic, well it is, and he keeps saying the same thing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapsfly (talk • contribs) 15:07, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

No, article talk pages are not for discussing the topic, which is what you were doing: "The term 'water ice does not make any sense, you might as well just call it ice. I would punch someone in the face if they said 'water ice' to me in real life. It should not be on this page, and it should actually be nowhere."[8]

Article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article. You think the term does not make sense. This conflict is too much for you to handle and makes you violent. Whatever. These are things you want to say about the term "water ice".

Your new version: "The term 'water ice' does not make any sense, you might as well just call it ice. and it should actually be nowhere. How can water and ice ever be one term, they are 2 different physical states of water. You can clearly improve this article by removing all references to 'water ice'."[9] actually makes a suggestion to change the article. I have responded to that. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:23, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello SummerPhD. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Eton College.

Thanks, I am struggling here because I rarely edit a wiki page. I am confused as to why you have twice removed the link that I added to the Eton College page. It seems to me to be a reasonable link to an alternative view of Eton College. I am perplexed as to why you have taken so much trouble to repeatedly remove the link. Do you have an association with Eton or are you paid to monitor the site?. If not why do you think you have a greater right than me to censor an open source encyclopedia. I have been a long time financial supporter of wiki and I always assumed it was open and unbiased. Why are you doing this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delsmith444 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

I do not have a conflict of interest involving this article or the link you are attempting to add. I am not paid to edit. I do not have a greater right than you or anyone else to edit the article. Removing inappropriate links is not "censorship". I have removed the link because I feel it fails our guidelines, specifically WP:ELNO#EL11. If you disagree, please discuss the issue on the article's talk page to establish a consensus on this issue. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:05, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Dr. Gregory House

Hi SummerPhD,

You recently reverted one of my edits on the 'Gregory House' page and cited "Needs coverage from an independent source". Can you please clarify to what you mean by this comment?

Reviews for a fictional doctor to a site like Ratemds.com ‎are essentially forum postings. That someone added a review to the site tells us nothing encyclopedic about the site (or the fictional doctor). Anyone can add anything to the site. I could add a notice to craigslist offering the Brooklyn Bridge for sale or a review of Dr. Frankenstein to Ratemds.com... Any of these would be trivial in the associated articles unless an independent reliable source discusses them. Then there might be something to add. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:34, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

It wouldn't let me reference the rotten tomatoes page, it was trying to. It features information that backs me up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tunaboy45 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what problems you were having with citing RT (try <ref>{{rotten-tomatoes|left_behind_2014|Left Behind}}</ref>). In any case, the closest thing I see there is one critic saying "easily one of the worst movies of 2014." Please see the article's talk page for a better idea of what we need to include a film on this list. - SummerPhD (talk) 23:55, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Editorial Notification from Zucat

Hello SummerPHD, I'm Zucat. I'm the creator of the artical entitled List of Stuart Little characters. I couldn't help help but notice that you edited the artical by fixing the grammer and spelling, and by removing some uneeded information. I thank you for being concerned about my articals errors and for fixing them. However i couldn't help but notice that some content you added does not seem to add up or make sense. For example. You added that Geena Davis VOICED Eleanor in Stuart Little 2. Stuart Little 2 is NOT an animated film. Geena Davis played Eleanor in live action. And second, you added a scene in the Martha Little section, that I'm not sure that happened ANYWHERE in the series. (WHERE in the Stuart Little Media media franchise did Eleanor try to get Martha to say Juice!!!!?, a deleted scene? an outtake?. ECT). And lastly you removed minor words about the events of the Main Characters of the series. Wikipedia is a website for SPECIFIC information about wikis. I'm NOT mad at you for changing the Artical, I'm just saying that there is some minor content in it that I want other users to know about. So unfortunately I'm gonna have to edit some parts of the artical so that way it displays the info I want it to do so. But don't worry I will NOT get rid of the edits YOU made. So anyway.... I thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zucat (talk • contribs) 21:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

If you check the edit history a bit more carefully, you will see I did not add a scene to the article. I haven't seen any of the films or read the book. This also explains my error regarding Davis. My intent in that particular article is to clean up the grammar, spelling and punctuation and trim a lot of the in-universe trivia, nothing more. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:58, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

You might remember this user

Hi a while ago you opened a case at SPI against a user name Troydevinny545. Well he has created tons of accounts since then and now it's harder to track what he does on Wikipedia. I found some of his new accounts and re-opened your case at SPI. I have a feeling that he might target your account as you were the one to notice his disrputive behaviors for the first time. I also created a new thread at AN/I. Just wanted to let you know. Cheers!--Chamith (talk) 17:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Probz page

Hello,

I'm not really sure how this works but here it goes.

My name is Dennis Stehr (p.k.a. Mr. Probz) and I just read your feedback on why you've changed the page back to how it was. The reason I've updated it was because of way too many inaccuracies and false facts and it frustrated me for some time now and forced me to do a little reasearch and finally try doing it myself. You can easily look up any of the facts stated in my new bio (which I haven't written myself but hired a writer for) and verify them. When I said it was my page I meant the content not the page itself. You said it had to be a neutral point of view and that's exactly what I I tried to uphold. If there's anything specific in the story you can point out that's out of line I'll be happy to fix it.

Best,

Dennis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 00:05, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

While you may be trying to be neutral and might hope that a writer you hired would be neutral, you have a clear conflict of interest. Whether consciously or not, you are likely to write about yourself in way that tends to emphasize the positive over the negative. I would strongly encourage you to step back from editing the page yourself and instead discuss the issues on the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

So in the meantime I have to sit back and watch how most of the stuff that's on the current page is false? That's my own personal information which people will take as the truth because it's posted here! I've asked you to show me what it is that's not acceptable and I would try to fix it myself. I just don't want to keep staring at a long list of lies anymore. You can throw a big stop sign at me or help me fix the problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 00:43, 6 December 2014 (UTC) Please discuss the issues on the article's talk page. If there are specific concerns, please clearly state what is wrong. If the material does not cite a reliable source, we can remove it immediately. If you have concerns about a source, please state what the problem is. If you have independent reliable sources for information that we do not yet have, please discuss them on the talk page as well. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Sorry but I don't know what that means. To change everything that's on there now is way too much work. Someone helped me make the page that I copy/pasted in the textbox and that's as far as it goes for me. The info in the update contains all the correct info of the previous content. I don't know how this works I just want to fix the page or rather not have one at all. This is me saying that whatever is on the page now is unreliable but then you tell me the more specific and extended info is a conflict of interest? You just changed my whole view on Wikipedia. I normally go here to do my research but have to find out like this that it's nothing more than a website based on opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 01:06, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

The problem is you are saying that everything in the article is wrong. This is obviously not the case as some of the information in the existing version is in the version you are offering. You also state that you have written a correct and unbiased article about yourself. I've already said this is questionable. In any case, we need reliable sources for any material in the article (I'm in the middle of removing some unsourced material in the article right now). If there are specific things that are incorrect, please explain what they are on the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not saying everything is wrong. I didn't write the new bio but only supplied the right info. Indeed, some of the facts that were in the old page are true but I've let them be added to the new one. It's only about the bio but also songs that are in the discography that were released online without my permission. Legal action is still pending with some of these titles. It also says that I'm signed to Repblic (which I'm not). If you take a look at the updated post you can see that all the chart info is linked to sources and more elaborate. If you tell me what to remove from the bio I think it be way more efficient than taking a hundred steps back. I still would like to have a wiki page with more than just 2 paragraphs and a train of charts or discogs that are incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 01:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Please discuss the issues on the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

We're already talking so what would diference would that make? You're the one that keeps making the changes and this is your page.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 02:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Anything you and/or I do can be edited by other editors at any point. As you'll note, other editors are already involved.[10][11][12][13][14] By discussing the article on the article's talk page, other editors will know what we are discussing and will be able to weigh in. Please discuss issues with the article on the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:12, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

I understand that but all it would do is give the people that added all the static more fun if they see it only adds to my frustration. All I'm trying to do is eliminate the chance that I'll be correcting stuff in interviews where info has been taken from this page like I have been doing for the past year. You don't know how annoying this can be, believe me. Can't we just post the update and build from there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 03:41, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a collaborative project. You want to replace the entire article with your version without explaining why. That is not collaboration. If I agreed to that, other editors would be within their rights to simply revert it again. From my experience here (8+ years, roughly 100,000 edits), conflicted editors who work with the project generally end up with articles that reflect their public image. Editors who fight against the project generally end up blocked from editing with an article written by editors drawn into the fight, some of whom come to believe the subject is trying to hide something.

My goal is an objective, verifiable article that will remain objective and verifiable. Please discuss the issues on the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:03, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Did you just put it back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DStehr (talk • contribs) 04:36, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, as explained on your talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:39, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

What's your problem? All I was trying to do was correct the page..
