How can I see the articles I made?

The reason I'm asking this is because I made many questionable redirects in the past, mainly in 2007/2008, and I want them all speedy deleted, unless the redirects make sense. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 23:29, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a direct link. You can access them by going to your contributions and clicking the check box "Only show edits that are page creations". You can then select the "(Main)" namespace to exclude user talk pages and the like, and click "Search". --BurritoBazooka (talk) 23:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, now if you'll excuse me I got some cleaning up to do. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 23:47, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Worked through a few of them and deleted many. Fictional pirates is fine, I think; has hits, at least. Fictional bunnies too (another editor kept it while I was writing this out). — Earwig talk 00:46, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of years in film

I write this in this way on page 2015 in film because if you look at all previous pages (see List of years in film) such us about years in films 2014 in film 2013 in film 2012 in film e.t.c. are written in this way. Why all this pages are written in this way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.86.255.196 (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it's on other pages doesn't mean it had to be like that on this page as well. There has been discussion about changing this on this particular page alone.
Also, if anything that means the style should change to shortening on the other pages as well, not the other way around. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The pages 2012 in film 2011 in film and 2010 in film have not been editing since 5th of December in that specific way. I am writing this in order to tell you to edit these thre pages according to the page 2015 in film. Only these thre pages. Why aren't you doing this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.86.255.196 (talk) 17:46, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@2.86.255.196: There has been a discussion on the talk page for the 2015 films recently where it's been decided that particular style wasn't good enough, so we went back to the style you prefer. Anyway, I'm done editing for Wikipedia now. So I won't do anything. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 18:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question about user warnings?

I'm back to Wikipedia after being gone for eight years. (or seven years since I really left in 2008.) And I have a question. Are normal users really permitted to give warnings? It seems that way as non-admins do it all the time.

And how does it work exactly? The reason I'm asking this is because I don't wanna use the warning templates and risk doing it the wrong day, which I did sometimes back in 2007. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you can definitely issue warnings. They should be true and appropriate, and you should always assume good faith at first (unless it's glaring vandalism). Preferably, you should point them toward the relevant policy/guideline and watchlist their user page in case they have questions. I typically use wp:twinkle to help me issue warning, but that does leave templates. In general, things to keep in mind are to avoid newbie-biting (be kind and pedagogical), not be condescending to established users (try to engage in a discussion) and to be receptive to feedback (if someone says your interpretation of policy is off, think about it). Best of luck! Happy Squirrel (talk) 20:30, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How is my userpage?

I want an opinion from someone who uses this site regularly. Which I'm sure will come. So yeah, how is my userpage? Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 01:25, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze The Movie Fan. Your userpage looks fine to me! Here are some pages you might be interested in reading to learn more about userpages: WP:UP, which offers a general explanation of user pages and what content you can and cannot place on one; WP:UPDC, which might give you some creative formatting and layout ideas; and WP:UBX, which discusses userboxes—although I see you have already placed a few on your page!

How do I make my own customized userbox?

I used to make one all the way back in 2007, but that's eight years which is a long time, I don't remember at all how I did it. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 20:58, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Huon: Thanks for the help. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 01:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if anyone cares but I'm gone from the site again.

I went back to Wikipedia because I thought I'd learn more things about the stuff I'm a fan of, but since only a few edits give me new information, I decided to leave again. Most of the edits are update the spelling, discussing how to improve the article or vandalism, I don't learn much from that. I came back to the website for a wrong reason.

I miss the old Cartoon Network

Do you miss the old Cartoon Network ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C5:C501:16F7:B0ED:DA53:CC6F:D917 (talk) 16:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:2c5:c501:16f7:b0ed:da53:cc6f:d917: Yes, I do but there are still shows on the modern Cartoon Network I really like. Steven Universe, Clerance and Regular Show are great shows in my opinion, but they don't compete with classics like Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo and the Powerpuff Girls. But I'm glad these three shows are no longer on the air since I wouldn't want them to go downhill which will inevitably happen if they are on the air for too long. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 20:22, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's the best way to use this site to learn new information?

The reason I left is because when I watch pages of the things I'm a fan of, 90% of the times it's vandalism, improving the article, and other stuff that doesn't make me learn anything new about something. I rarely learn something new by watching pages, unless it's something like a new movie, but other than that I don't learn much.

So my question is, how can I learn new information about the stuff I'm interested in? And if Wikpedia isn't the best place for that, could you tell me what is? Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 01:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a news source, depending on what you like to watch I would suggest finding fan sites, forums or news sites to learn about new and upcoming things. Wikipedia is good to come learn about something and checking back now and then but it isn't where new things are announced first.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 01:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Yeah, I'm not returning to Wikipedia in that case. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 11:35, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I need to say something.

I really don't like how anybody who dares criticizing the white pride article gets their comments removed on the talk page because apparently Wikipedia is not a forum. None of these people are even discussing the subject itself, they are pointing out how awful the article is. And it is a legitimate concern how white pride is being talked about negatively in the article. I really think this article needs an improvement big time. Just being proud of being white is not racist or bigoted in the slightest, it would only be racist if someone said white people are better than black people. So yeah, honestly it pisses me off too. And it also pisses me off how NOBODY is allowed to criticize the article. I doubt anybody is gonna respond to this section or even be aware of it, but I had to get this off my chest.

What's that?

I noticed that feature "Hide probably good edits". What does that mean? Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 02:31, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze The Movie Fan, an automatic scoring system called "ORES" tries to determine the quality of edits. If an edit is likely to be vandalism, it is flagged for manual review. The "Hide probably good edits" checkbox hides all edits from the list that have not been flagged by ORES. This is likely most, or all, of your edits. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It got moved to WP:Don't be a jerk.

I'm deleting redirects so you don't have to

I saw your comment above, so I'm currently going through your past redirect creations and nominating some of them, so you get less of these deletion notices showing up over the years. I've turned off notifying you for these deletions so that I don't spam your page. I hope that helps! TraderCharlotte (talk) 03:51, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I found three; everything else seemed okay! TraderCharlotte (talk) 04:03, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, cool. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:54, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I have made a decision that I'm not even logging in anymore.

I thought about it, and every time I get notified of something new in Redirects for Deletion I get annoyed and say "I don't care I was a moron back then anyway.".

There is no point in logging back in as I literally never even edit anymore, I just come here for information about an actor's filmography and who was involved in a movie.

So yeah, I'm logging out now and will likely never log back in. I should have done it much sooner as I left Wikipedia a long time ago. The last time I was very active was in the 2000's, I haven't even done much in the 2010's overall.

So yeah I'm not sure who will see this, but I will check back here on the talk page a week from now, but that's it.

It really is time to log out for good, there is no point in being logged in if I don't even edit anymore period. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a place where I can officially say goodbye? Because I want to do it as I haven't been active on Wikipedia for over a decade. And honestly I want to say goodbye for good as I'm not even logging back in ever again as I realized it was a waste of time as I don't edit anymore period. I want to officially say goodbye in a forum or something like that, if such a place on Wikipedia even exists.Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 20:38, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no forum for this, your talk page would be the correct place. PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GOODBYE may give you some helpful information, but I don't know of any forum for this. As mentioned above, your talk page would be the place for saying goodbye. PHANTOMTECH (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But the problem is since I retired over a decade ago, the people who followed this page back then don't even care anymore. Ah well guess I have to deal with it. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 23:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking about giving Wikipedia a second chance and I have a few questions.

I have moved your question to the Teahouse as they are more suited to answering longer/multi-part questions. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 20:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]


(edit conflict) Here are a few partial answers to some of your questions. One or more other people may like to make further contributions.
For some of your questions the answers are, at least partly, that what articles exist and what is in them depends on who has decided to contribute to them. For example, I have never seen Family Guy, so I have no idea whether Carter Pewtersmith is as significant or notable as Montgomery Burns or not, but if he is then the reason why one article exists and the other doesn't may well be that someone has decided to create one article, but nobody has decided to create the other. I can't understand how that can be hypocritical; do you perhaps just mean inconsistent? My impression is that at least 90% of articles on individual cartoon characters exist because there are many children who treat Wikipedia as a place to play around and write about their favourite cartoons.
I didn't know that there is an article on movies that frequently use the word "fuck", and if there is and if I looked at it then I would probably agree with you about it. However, I haven't looked at it, and I don't intend to, because I don't see any point in doing so. If people choose to spend their time creating such pointless junk it doesn't bother me. You are free to nominate it for deletion if you like.
You are right about the proportion of misinformation on the internet. The best I can say about Wikipedia in that respect is that there's a large body of editors who put a good deal of work into checking sources and correcting things, so that it has a lower proportion of misinformation than many websites, where there is no such checking. Unfortunately, in a website which anyone can edit there is no way of preventing some false information coming in, but far less of it stays than is the case in web forums where anyone can post almost whatever they like and it stays, or websites run with the deliberate intention of promoting an angle, without being concerned about any standard other than supporting that angle. In short, Wikipedia is certainly not totally reliable, but the substantial majority of its content is right, which is more than one can say of many websites.
Are you sure that the article White pride used to say that being proud of being white is racist? It currently says that the expression "white pride" is mainly used by racists, but that is far from being the same thing. If it really did once say that being proud of being white is racist, then you should have removed that ridiculous claim, and reported it to administrators if it kept being reinstated. If, however, you mean that the statement that most of the people who use the expression "white pride" are racists is "far left propaganda", then your notion of what "far left" means is so broad as to suggest that your own political position is probably well to the right of centre even by the standards of the United States, and way off to the right by the standards of the population of the world. If you see political issues from well to the right of centre then most things will seem to you you to be on the left, including statements which are in fact objectively quite middle ground. You will therefore be likely to see Wikipedia as on the left, just as many people on the left see Wikipedia as being on the right.
You ask 'Why do articles for upcoming movies say "this movie is..." instead of "...this movie will be."?' Probably for the same reason as some articles say things like "The North Atlantic Ocean refers to the large area of sea between North America and Europe" instead of "The North Atlantic Ocean is the large area of sea between North America and Europe". (That's a fictitious example that I have just made up because I don't off hand remember any real examples, but I've seen real examples exactly like that.)
I don't know helpful you will find those answers, but I hope they will at least go some way towards answering some of your questions. JBW (talk) 20:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for that comment I probably shouldn't have brought that up. I misunderstood the article, maybe it's best if I don't come back. I will check that other thing though. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 21:38, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carter Pewterschmidt

He does not 'get' an article because no one has created an article about him. There is no grand plan. David notMD (talk) 05:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I have a question about a product such as a movie where do I ask?

Message boards are pretty much dead, so I won't get many answers there I tried. And I'm staying away from Reddit as it's too toxic. I'm aware that toxicity is everywhere on the Internet but I'd rather go to a site that enforces a no toxicity rule which reddit clearly doesn't. And I have been banned from many discord servers, so that's out of the question too. (Btw, I take responsibility for that I screwed up so I won't complain) So on what website can I ask questions about movies, history and so on? I know I can't ask on the talk pages as they are only about the article itself, not the actual subject, so I'm not sure where to go to find help. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 22:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could try the reference desk ? DS (talk) 22:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is the history section on my main userpage? Does it abide by the rules?

Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm back at Wikipedia after over a decade of not using it regularly. I promise I will use the help me tag one more time tomorrow, if I need to, then I'll leave it be.

Anyway, I added a history section on my main userpage. Did I do it right according to the rules? If not what should I do to change that?

P.s. I would appreciate some help with making userboxes too as I struggled with that. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 23:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on the userpage. For the userboxes, I'm not sure if {{User en-us-67}} and {{User:UBX/film}} are what you're looking for. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 05:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean about "according to the rules", but it's not breaking anything, so... it's fine?
As far as userboxes go, there is a (probably not complete) gallery of userboxes. For American English you're probably looking for one of these, and while I don't think there's a generic "I like movies" there is this list of pages (see WP:CREATEUBX for creation of UBX). If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 06:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is what I said about Ingólfur Arnarson on that article's talk page civil enough?

First thing's first I know I have been far too fucking reliant on the help me feature. I promise after this I won't use it for at least a week, and this is a promise I'm sticking to.

Anyway, I wanted to correct something about the article on Ingólfur Arnarson and I don't want to come across as a dick sadly I think I did.

Just go to Talk:Ingólfr Arnarson and tell me is my message civil enough? Or do I need to fix the wording? I want to follow the rules, but even if not being civil wasn't against the rules I still would like to do my best to not be a dick, as it's more appropriate to be civil in discussions. Thank you.

P. s. This legit is the last time, I won't use this tag at all for the rest of the week.Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)}}[reply]

Answered at Talk:Ingólfr Arnarson.
The only constraint you should exercise with the {{help}} templates is to make sure you are asking questions about how to edit. Questions about content - or to get an evaluation of your conduct - are off-topic for those templates. Other editors will generally respond to your edits if they don't think they are valid contributions. More egregious behavior problems will likely get warnings. But most of the time it's live-and-let-live. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 19:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Noted I won’t use the template again then. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize I should have read the rules before going back.

Yeah it's my fault I didn't read the rules before coming back to editing on wikipedia and engaging in discussions. I'm not gonna make any excuses, I should have. When I do return to editing and engaging in discussions here I promise I will read the rules carefully. It is good to be back, but I should always be familiar with the rules first.

One thing

If you feel like archiving your talkpage, Help:Archiving (plain and simple) is a handy way to do that. It can save you and visitors some scrolling. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later. When I have the time I should read the more important pages first such as assume good faith how sources work and so on. I think that can wait until later. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaving Wikipedia again. At least when it comes to editing articles and engaging in conversations.

Yeah, someone told me that Wikipedia is a better place for information than I thought, and maybe it is. But I'm not going to be editing articles or engage in conversations here, I was going to but I changed my mind.

The thing is I don't learn much about things that interest me through revision histories. Maybe I do sometimes, but most edits are minor things and vandalism I don't learn much from that.

So yeah I'm not wasting my time anymore viewing revision histories, as that doesn't help much with knowledge. I still plan on using the site to learn, but that's not the way to do it.

At the top of that, I don't know much about history especially, so what can I contribute to helping Wikipedia? I don't think there is anything. So yeah, I am still gonna use the site for research, but when it comes to editing or engaging in discussions here I'm done.

The reference desk is an exception as I can get questions I have answered there. So yeah, that's all. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 17:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asides from Be Civil, No Original Research and the rest of the main ones which rules should I also read?

I did a terrible mistake by returning last month without reading any of the rules, and I truly am sorry. I am not returning for good unless I have read or listened to all the articles using my text to speech program. I will read the main guideline articles for sure. Any other important I should bear in mind before officially returning? Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 18:51, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'm not really sure what you're asking for; I suppose my general advice would be to take it slow, think about what (and why) you are editing, and be open to feedback and criticism if you get any. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 19:00, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A few questions before I return for good.

In January I was mentally sick and couldn't think straight now I can, so I can ask a few questions before I return to WP for good. And by the way I truly am sorry and looking back should have read the rules BEFORE returning not after.

1. If I poorly translate from Icelandic to English will I be penalized for it? I know English very well, but since I'm used to speaking it even to real life friends, I fear my translations would be bad or inaccurate when translating Icelandic articles. So yeah, do I have to worry about being banned for a poor translation?
2. How come there an article for the movies that most of the times use the F word and not the C word? Back in the 1970's a movie using at least 200 F bombs was special it isn't anymore. Most R rated movies use it at least 100 times, few uses of it are an exception not a rule. At least as far as I know I might be thinking of this wrong.
3. This isn't a question, but just to confirm something. There is never a good reason to be a toxic cunt here, right?
4. Are witty comments to vandalism allowed or should I just say revert vandalism?
5. I was a cunt in 2007, and got away with it. People who remember me from back then, would they hate me for how I acted on Wikipedia back then? I'm worried they might as I'm not a small name anymore. A lot of people know of my skits in my videos.
6. Lastly and this is just a fun question. When Chris Stuckmann's upcoming movie is out, will it be notable enough for its own Wikipedia article?

Thank you for your time. I hope to have answers soon. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 23:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Blaze The Movie Fan,
  1. I will answer this question in two parts:
    1. I think you are confusing "block" with "ban", a ban is a community decision, but a block is for bad behavior and is a standard admin action. You will not be blocked for poor translations, unless they are malicious.
    2. Depends on what level you know of Icelandic. If you know a beginner amount, I would let someone else translate it. If you must, it's best to put a talk page notice on the talk page of the translated page to let other edits know.
  2. We have a general notability guideline and one for film (I forgot the link). The movies that you say probably aren't notable enough, thus they don't have an article.
Actually no, all the movies on the list of movies that most frequently use the F word all have their own articles and are American movies. I don't get why there isn't a C word article as even though it's common that the C word is used in American movies, it being used at least 15 times is rare in comparison. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 01:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Please watch your language, but yes, I would say so (after >2900 edits).
  2. I would strongly not recommend it. "Vandalism", "Revert vandalism", "Rvt vand", "vand", etc. are fine. I also recommend using a tool like Twinkle or Ultraviolet to make reverting vandalism and warning users easier, as you are required to do after reverting vandalism. (If you retired before early 2007, you may want to see the new warning templates by going to WikiProject User Warnings and find the table of templates, but that is only if you aren't using Twinkle or Ultraviolet.)
  3. Please watch your language again (some editors may think it's uncivil). If you showed growth, I don't think they'd care, unless you start it again. My advice: if someone tells you that you made a mistake, accept it, apologize if needed, and learn how you can avoid it. I will also note that most older editors have probably left/retired, but that isn't an excuse to do it again. I don't know what "skits in your videos" reverts to so I can't say anything about it.
  4. That will depend when the movie comes out.
I hope I answered your questions. If you reply here, please ping me. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to ask me any more questions on my talk page. Also, welcome back! thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can propose such an article. Sometimes, when an article seems to be missing, it's because nobody thought about doing one on that subject or felt it would be too much work. Sometimes, however, making movie lists is going to be seen as not encyclopedic and better done on IMDB or Fandom. There's WP:WikiProject Film where you could test the waters. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry I will refrain from even using hell or damn unless I really need to
