You'll have to forgive me if I'm unsure of what the issue is here. The temlate you pasted wasn't closed off, there was no |} tag to say the template had ended. Or was there another issue? Яehevkor ✉ 15:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of hard rock musicians

If you want to start removing the flag icons at the top, I'll start from the bottom. Then we can meet half way and get the list cleaned up a bit... Good? Dismas|(talk) 10:11, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a plan - I don't have a lot of time but I can at least get a start on it. Яehevkor ✉ 10:21, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neither do I and it looks like I'll be spending most of my time waiting for the page to load. Might as well start on it though... Dismas|(talk) 10:23, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I'm getting loads of errors trying to even view the article now. I'm starting to think the only real solution would be to split the article. Яehevkor ✉ 10:24, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Same here. Never seen the "Wikimedia servers are overloaded" message before! I have just about 15 minutes till I have to start packing up to leave work though... Dismas|(talk) 10:27, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm headed off shortly also, but for less noble deeds. I've explained on the help desk why I think a split is the only option. Яehevkor ✉ 10:33, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rehevkor, you appear to be a significant contributor to Fallout 3, but was not mentioned in SCB '92's nom. So I am here notifying you of the existence of SCB '92's Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Fallout 3/archive1 nom, if you haven't already known.

Black Mesa Page

Hi Rehevkor,

I think given the nature of the sparse updates on Black Mesa that an exception for the sources I have provided should be given. Forum posts, blog posts, and social news sites (reddit is not really a social networking in that it's primary function is the dissemination of information and not social networking) are often unreliable, but in this case they are (no objective claims are made other than that these things were said, which the citations provide evidence for) and they are the only sources we have. I believe the information provided in my update to the page is very helpful to those wondering as to the progress of the game's development and should be kept instead of uniformly deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachayes (talk • contribs) 21:49, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If something has not relieved coverage from reliable sources, then it has no place here. This is an encyclopaedia not a mod news website. This "unsubstantiated theory" you keep trying to insert is the worst kind of original research too. Primary sources, such as forums, blogs and social networking (yes, Reddit is a social network) by the developers, should be used with extreme care, and never used as the basis for the article, you seem to be trying to use them to push every minor bit of detail from the developers in the last year. This has no place in an encyclopaedia article. Either way, my talk page is not an adequate host for discussions such as this, the best place is at Talk:Black_Mesa_(video_game).

Inception: Themes and analysis section

Hi Rehevkor, I hope you are well. I've started work on a themes and analysis section for Inception (2010). I had a feeling that there wasn't enough critical opinion incorporated into the article, and too much of the analysis was stuffed into "Production", a first draft of only one sub-section is in my Sandbox here, I'd love to hear your comments. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 10:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mass Effect 3 Article

Hi Rehevkor. Hope I'm doing this right - I'm new to Wikipedia. I've been editing the Mass Effect 3 article for fun but it looks like is quality rating is dipping. Anything you see that you think desperately needs to be done to improve it? Ktmartell (talk) 22:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[[1]]

This is not original research, neither unsourced. I deliberately used weasel words to avoid future credit war, as to who was the 1st to discover this or that. The source however is clearly noted - a reference whithin the game itself. Best regards - Zarnivop (talk) 03:59, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please actually read WP:Original research. You are using primary (if any) sources to to come to conclusions that are not stated or published by other reliable sources, you must "be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material as presented." Please do so. Яehevkor ✉ 09:32, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We are dealing with a computer game here. It is unlikely that an academic article will be published. Gamers community sources should suffice. There are many - I just state one that is on Steam official forum. As a side note - while keeping up to standards is commendable, moreso is manner-full deletion after discussion that actualy takes place, not before. Zarnivop (talk) 11:25, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If no sources exist then is simply has no place here. You should follow WP:BRD, you were bold, I reverted, now discuss, stop restoring unsourced content to the article. And forums are not reliable sources. Яehevkor ✉ 13:08, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While on any academic subject the claim "forums are not reliable sources"
You are right that I failed to follow WP:BRD. My bad. That said, back to the issue. I will now attempt to clarify as clearly as possible why the section you removed
  1. deserves a place in a Wikipedia article
  2. Is well sourced
The phenomenon described in the deleted section is part of the vital connection between game designers and gamers. The designer, almost certainly deliberately, placed hints into their creation, knowing that the game fans will find interest and joy in deciphering the hints and (undoubtedly) arguing over the implications. This goes a long way to enrich the game experience. Were you a gamer I could refer you to many such 'winks to the gamer' placed by game designers. This phenomenon is rooted deep into the gamer-designer relations.
By keeping to a strict and narrow interpretation of WP:RS you exclude any description of an important aspect of the gaming community, thus betraying Wikipedia completeness. Google autocompletes "is cave johnson" to "is cave johnson chell's father" with tens of thousands of results - all of which are of the type you rush to disqualify. Zarnivop (talk) 17:24, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Both your above points fail because 1) nothing "deserves" to be in Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Verifiability is law "To show that it is not original research, all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable, published source appropriate for the content in question" 2) it is certainly not well sourced, a forum source should never be used in OR cases, and the implied use of the game itself as a source, which is a primary source, see Wikipedia:No original research#Primary.2C secondary and tertiary sources, from which you are drawing conclusions that are not expressly stated by the source, or from WP:OR "analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not advanced by the sources." I'm not saying it can be ignored though, it's already covered in Chell (Portal)#Appearances pointing out a journalist made the connection - that kinda thing is fine. Either way, my talk page is not the place to hold this discussion, Talk:Cave Johnson (Portal) is. Яehevkor ✉ 17:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Metallica India tour

I suggest removing the complete topic of the cancelled Metallica concert in Delhi. It adds no value to the article. From my perspective the only value add is the information that Metallica made it's debut in India. Let me know what you think. Please reply on my talk page. Naveenswiki (talk) 21:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have left the content regarding the cancelled tour as is, since it still receiving lot of coverage. Maybe once the coverage dies out. I will put this up for discussion on the talk page. Thanks for the feedback. Naveenswiki (talk) 19:18, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

3DS

I responded to you on the talk page, FYI. And I apologize, I didn't mean to come off as "brash" or "offensive". Sergecross73 msg me 01:15, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I admit I did over react to it, for which I also apologise. Яehevkor ✉ 22:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks/Question

Thanks for your help. Do you know where I post about someone making an edit to an image? I'm not too good at it. CTJF83 22:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really up on how to deal with much image related stuff. But either way it depends what you're dealing with. Is the image here or on Commons? Is it free or fair use? Is it a change someone has already made or a change you want to make? Яehevkor ✉ 22:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Commons, free, I want to make. File:State positions Iraq war.png I just think it would be beneficial to color Iraq a different color. I tried an image editing program paint fill in, at the lowest tolerance and it colored several other countries too. CTJF83 00:36, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's not something I know much about, alas, best place I can think to post it is Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests. Best program to use might be GIMP though. Яehevkor ✉ 00:53, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried GIMP before with no success lol...I'll head to EAR, thanks! CTJF83 00:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic Generations Talk Page

So I saw your change to the talk page. Now, I'm asking this honestly, in good faith, because I really don't know: Do you think that IP was talking about the his additions to the plot that I kept reverting, or the use of the Destructoid review? I was under the impression that was was actually talking about Destructoid. The "reverting of his work" that I mentioned, that I was referring to wasn't so much about "Generations" as it was the fact that I'm reverting just about all of his edits everywhere because he keeps asking random questions on article's talk pages. (Crap like "Why doesn't Arnold Schwartzneger have a German accent" that has no bearing on the article itself.) And he seems to use a couple of different IPs as well, so that may not be apparent by his contribution list.

But yeah, I was wondering what you were thinking, because honestly, with some of the stuff that IP writes, I'm not even sure what he's talking about... Sergecross73 msg me 20:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Truth be told I'm unsure what he (or she) was referring to - so I have self reverted for now. Although I think we can both agree that it was nothing productive. Яehevkor ✉ 20:30, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree. I just wanted to check with you first. We seem to be similar-type editors, so I didn't want to get in a habit of us working against each other and reverting each other all the time. Sergecross73 msg me 13:23, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a guy,Yes I do have past IPs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.71.62.59 (talk) 21:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note on recent SPI

As I responded on my talk page, I believe the SPI was an attempt to take revenge against me for filing an SPI report about the same guy earlier. And it's not the first time the filing editor had filed spurious retaliatory reports against me. Here is an earlier 3RR filing made in revenge as a direct response to an earlier 3RR filing made by me. The same guy had also impersonated me in the past to take revenge. I'm sorry that you got dragged into it as well this time. Anyway both cases are closed now, so no worries. Thanks again for letting me know. -Thibbs (talk) 19:05, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny how people can get so obsessed to keep this kinda crap up for years. I browsed his SPI archive and it's troubling stuff. Either way, sorted now, until the next sock turns up anyway. I'll know what to look for next time he crops up for SPI purposes. Cheers. Яehevkor ✉ 21:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube

Hi, I'm from youtube,but came here to ask something. Is You tube a reliable source? comment added by 184.44.129.253 (talk) 37:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.44.129.253 (talk)

Dunno how you ended up here to ask, are you Tailsman? But generally no, it is not. Mainly because of WP:LINKVIO and WP:SPS. Very little content on Youtube is reliably published or published with respects to copyright. Яehevkor ✉ 18:45, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Highly unlikely to be a reliable source. Яehevkor ✉ 18:58, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He is posting in all the same areas, and writes in the same style, as all the other IP's suspected to be Tailsman, so...you can jump to your own conclusions I suppose... Sergecross73 msg me 19:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle Scrooge Similarities

I had originally added six links to verify the claim. One of them was cited as possibly violating the guidelines. Upon review, I realized that one almost certainly did, and one possibly did, so I removed those two links. However, the remaining links to CNN, the AV Club, E!Online, and Cracked.com are all legitimate sources for the claim. Therefore, I re-posted with the four remaining links. The four remaining links still verified all the information in the McDuck Similarities section. Therefore, they should be reintroduced.

Is there a reason it should not be reintroduced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.102.224.23 (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You should bring it up on Talk:Inception, I believe there is consensus to include it, it doesn't warrant its own section. Яehevkor ✉ 22:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughtful comments Rehevkor. I agree that it shouldn't have its own section, but do believe it deserves its own subsection under the Reception and Reactions section.

Warning

A reminder - please try not to engage disruptive editors, especially not with evident vulgar personal attacks. I know sometimes it is hard to restrain, but it does nothing and the only possible outcome is more trouble. Revert, ignore, report. :) Salvidrim! 21:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I got trolled and responded in kind :/ Going to go have dinner, glass of wine and come back later. Unfortunately there's nowhere to report gross incivility and actually have anything done about it. Яehevkor ✉ 21:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't get trolled. You hit me with a three revert rule when you were the one who broke that rule first so I made a snide remark and it got under your skin. That's all. Learn to cooperate with others instead of domineering over them. On top of the fact I added a legit source to the Myst article, you were way off trying to overwrite me. So really, you got schooled, not trolled. 74.56.51.128 (talk) 21:43, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
