Plot size

Genuine apologies. I did not intend to do anything incorrect. I just happened to notice the plot literally covers the first five minutes of the film and none of the rest of the story (have a younger sister, seen the film a few times), and in that five minutes worth of plot given, there was a lot of incorrect information to boot. I only wished to put the correct plot story in. I tried to keep it as concise and actually left out several important plot points. I will be more careful in future, though.

Sorry to bother

I’ve asked for ANI advice to see if others have some ideas that may help. Meanwhile could you have a look at the recent pointy edits in Patrisse Cullors early life section? Feels like an end run to me. Gleeanon409 (talk) 06:06, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Swastika

Your opinion on Swastika is not the issue. The German Hakenkreuz is not the Swastika despite mis-translations. White privilege distortions do not alter the original. The Hakenkreuz is a Christian symbol, there is no evidence of Hitler ever using the term "Swastika." If there is present that. This kind of reversion has made Wikipedia into a platform for White supremacist views which do not take into account alternative readings. Puck42 (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

In your edit to the Swastika article, you said that Nazis used the symbol to represent Christian Socialism. But Nazis were never socialist, not even a little bit. And they only paid lip service to Christianity. So the Nazis could not be using the hakenkreuz or swastika for the purpose you stated.

You used an article in Quartz as your source. The article does not say that the Nazis were Socialist or Christian. The author talks about T.K. Nakagaki, a Buddhist monk who wants to clean up the bad reputation of the swastika and reclaim it for good purposes. Nakagaki writes in his book that Hitler chose to use the symbol with his new interpretation and for his own political purpose. So whatever history was associated with the hakenkreuz or swastika was trampled to make the Nazi symbol. Which means it doesn't really matter what symbol he started with.

The Happys - band/movie

The Happys was formed prior to your movie sir. This is not going away I promise only getting started. TheHappys123 (talk) 08:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Not my movie.

It's a fine thing to promote a band, but on Wikipedia, bands must be famous enough to satisfy the requirements at WP:NBAND.

You've got this piece in the Marin IJ, a local paper, this piece in the Bohemian, another small paper. You need something larger writing about the band. Or a charting release.

And if the band had its own page on Wikipedia, it would be The Happys (band), not The Happys which is an article about a film. Binksternet (talk) 08:39, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Can you help me out do you have an email, I’d like help with this the band has a lot of noteriety, I apologize about the mix up, I think you understand I misunderstood who you were at first, and apologize. The manager of the Happys is a big time manager of Tahoe artists who has managed blink 182, sublime, skankin pickle, three non blondes, monophonics, can we settle on the Happys band on Wikipedia sir. Cheers!! Thank you again excuse the mixup. I read through the criteria a bunch of times and have come to the conclusion that the over grains of sand and awards won by the band, add up to fulfillment’s required of a page, of you dig up articles. Please message me at best convenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheHappys123 (talk • contribs) 09:33, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Asdidis ?

Hello ,I remember that you were quite successful in discovering multiple harmful IPs. And that there was a problematic user named Asdidis who did multiple vandalism from different IP adresses, so I am asking can this IP be a typical behaviour from that user? So as you can see there were several changes on Drazen Petrovic article [[1]] where IP: 93.142.66.189 not only changed article but also left discriminating comments against several users including myself on my talk page and also on Novak Djokovic talk page on current RFC, in the meantime he was blocked and I changed the article back to it's original state, minute after the article was reveresed from the other similar IP address :93.136.98.167 .Can you please check on it when you have some extra time. Thank you.-Theonewithreason (talk) 16:43, 07 August 2020 (UTC)

Edd Kalehoff edits

Hi Binksternet,

I've been collecting television music for over 20 years and noticed your edits to Edd's page are not exactly right. I've talked with parties involved first hand pertaining to the Price is Right rights fiasco. Here's exactly what happened, feel free to make your edit correct according to this if you like, even though I understand some guy on Wikipedia without an account telling you "I know stuff because I talked to them!" isn't really a great source.

Edd composes the Price is Right main theme and two other reels of music (the Moog reel and Reel 1) in 1972 as he's still signed to Score Productions. Robert Israel, head of Score Productions decides to change the composer credit on BMI to his wife's name Sheila Cole. While the show airs with only Edds name as the composer, BMI is different making it so only Fremantle (then Mark Goodson Productions) and Sheila Cole get money from the main theme. At this point Edd realizes the problems and goes directly to Mark Goodson who realizes the problems, while they can't change the main composer credit they do give him credit for all other cues used besides the main theme. After that, Edd left Score and went on to go solo composing other themes. "Price" is not the only theme that had been stolen, while it is the most widely known Israel also stole the credits for Card Sharks, Wimbledon, and others, and as well stole from other composers, not just Edd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:CE7F:4000:90A0:1BED:A69A:14DD (talk) 06:27, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive Editing

Hi. I'm not quite sure why you have accused me of disruptive editing. Right above the Track Listing on both pages in question (Genesis (Busta Rhymes album) and Juve the Great), I have clearly cited the album's liner notes, so I don't know why you are claiming that I am adding unsourced content. I noticed that you removed the Sample Credits sections from both pages. I got this information from the Album's Liner notes, which I have already sourced earlier in the article. Should I add this source again next to the Sample Credits section?

I assure you that I am only trying to add real information to the page, and I have no intention of causing any disruptions. If you could kindly explain to me what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time. Stellar420 (talk) 04:30, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

At the Genesis album page, you said that "'As I Come Back' contains replayed elements from 'Scenario (Remix)' by A Tribe Called Quest featuring Leaders of the New School." That does not appear at all in the liner notes. Binksternet (talk) 04:42, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Genesis – here's a link to images of the Album Booklet. For your convenience, here is the specific page in question – [2]. It clearly says "contains replayed elements from "Scenario (Remix)". Sure, I added in the Artist, but the song is there, so saying that it "does not appear at all in the liner notes" doesn't help me understand what I'm doing wrong. If you could be more specific, that would be great. Not trying to be rude or anything, just trying to understand. Thanks again.Stellar420 (talk) 05:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

You're right! I didn't see that tucked in there so small, and I was looking for Tribe Called Quest. Binksternet (talk) 23:42, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Hounding

I can't help but thinking that you're trying to get back at me for our disagreement at White privilege. You edited Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania for the first time ([4]) just 7 minutes after replying to me at Talk:White privilege ([5]). I think you looked at my contribution history and then decided to confront me at an unrelated page, which is WP:HOUNDING. -Thucydides411 (talk) 19:47, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

My goal is to improve Wikipedia. I saw your assertions at Talk:White privilege which made me wonder whether your contrary attitude was making Wikipedia worse in other ways than that talk page. I saw you had recently created an article about a topic familar to me, and I checked to see whether it was covering the bases. I saw it was missing the important aspect of slavery, so I added that. I did not "confront" you. Binksternet (talk) 20:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

What you're describing is hounding. You had a dispute with me at White privilege, so you started going through my contribution history. Trying to shoehorn a bunch of material about Dickinson's ownership of slaves into Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, directly after disagreeing with me at White privilege, is a bit too on-the-nose. Don't damage a historical article just to make a point. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:09, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Bink keeping an eye out is very much to the good. And having a quick looksee at Thuce's diffs is kind of fish in a barrel. Bad edits and bludgeons hurt the Project. It is no secret that many editors share that view. It's not hounding. It's good citizenship. Thank you, Binksternet. SPECIFICO talk 20:11, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

SPECIFICO also has a history of stalking me on Wikipedia. They've shown up at articles as random as NEOCam to revert my edits. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the support, SPECIFICO. We've tangled in the past and I respect your viewpoint. Binksternet (talk) 20:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Who is damaging the article? I was looking at university published books which were not represented. You had not found them, for whatever reason, and I was filling the gap. That's not "damage", that's how we get a better encyclopedia. Binksternet (talk) 20:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

You're searching Google Books specifically to find books that mention the subject you want to add. That's very different from reviewing the literature and determining which subjects to cover based on the weight they receive in the sources. But regardless, please stop hounding me. I don't go through your edit history and find pages to confront you on, and I would consider that a low thing to do. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:28, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I acknowledge your request to "stop hounding" you, though I wasn't doing that, and I will be working the new material into the Letters article if you don't do it yourself. Let's see what you do in the next couple of days, to incorporate the literature which you had previously not seen. Binksternet (talk) 20:43, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm working off of general literature on the subject, not off of a cherry-picked list chosen to emphasize slavery. "Barack Obama: American Historian" is not among the most relevant works on Dickinson's Letters. The page leaves a lot of aspects of the letters out, including his comparison of lack of taxation to slavery (which is something that an expanded article could mention). But Dickinson's ownership of slaves is not discussed in connection with the Letters in any of the general sources I've been using. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:51, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

It sounds like I will be working on it myself then. See you in a few days, unless you find the energy. Binksternet (talk) 21:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

This is not appropriate behavior on Wikipedia. WP:HOUNDING is policy, and you shouldn't be adding material to pages just to get back at editors you've had disagreements with. -Thucydides411 (talk) 21:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Ri-i-ight. Instead of me helping to expand your newly created article, you would rather have no help at all because you don't want the article to reflect the literature. You would rather have the article present a myth of your choosing, narrowly focusing on the aspects that are pleasant to you. Binksternet (talk) 21:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The article is 10 years old, and I didn't ask for you to stalk me. -Thucydides411 (talk) 21:31, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

None of that is an assurance that you understand the article is lacking in coverage. Binksternet (talk) 21:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Thuce, you need to consider your words very carefully. A peace-loving editor's talk page is no place for aspersions and false accusations. That is the stuff of ANI. SPECIFICO talk 23:27, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Patrisse Cullors.

You wrote as a response to my edit: "Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Patrisse Cullors. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia." You also undid my edit to Alicia Garza's page.

I cited PolitiFact, a verifiable and credible source and you allege that I am violating Wikipedia's "neutral point of view policy?" This is incorrect. The article I cited states that both Patrisse and Alicia have stated they are trained Marxists. Please read the article before you accuse editors of wrongdoing. Unfortunately, what you did is against Wikipedia's "neutral point of view policy." The bias comes from you disagreeing with something she is on the record stating in public. I provided a credible source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hangsun.577 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
