User talk:Valenciano

Please tell me how to put a lock on a page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhruv vij (talk • contribs) 14:25, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

What page do you want locked? This would only happen if there was a significant ongoing content dispute on the page in question resulting in an ongoing edit war, which users had been unable to resolve on the talk page. If that applied, you would file a request at requests for page protection here. If that doesn't apply then you have no chance, as pages are only locked in very limited circumstances and for short time periods. Valenciano (talk) 18:29, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Costa del Sol

Ya que usted dice dominar el español perfectamente, me dirigiré a usted usándolo, ya que es mi idioma. Me parece una absoluta vergüenza su actitud en esta discusión, indagando y buscando con lupa noticias ¡¡¡de 2004!!! como esa del ABC. La gente como yo que habitamos en la Costa del Sol sabemos que de existir algún tipo de criminalidad organizada en la Costa del Sol, es algo absolutamente minoritario, y los niveles de criminalidad son bajísimos. Ninguna de esas referencias en ningún caso, avalan la aparición de esos datos en un párrafo de historia de la Costa del Sol, que apenas ocupa 10 renglones.

Dado su apodo, Valenciano, no me extrañaría que detrás de todo ese supuesto interés por incluir toda esa rocambolesca información, solo exista un interés de atacar a la imagen turística de la Costa del Sol. Su insistencia por incluir esa trivial y absolutamente irrelevante información en una sección tan pequeña, no me deja cabida a ninguna otra clase de explicación. Ya que en ningún caso le veo interesado en incluir otro tipo de datos para mejorar el artículo con informaciones relevantes de la Costa del Sol.

Le advierto que tras este último aporte suyo a la discusión voy a ser absolutamente intransigente, y nadie excepto un bibliotecario podrá modificar el artículo en adelante. Cualquier mínima introducción de información va a tener que ser escrupulosamente discutida y consensuada, o le llevaré al tablón por romper las reglas de discusión y solicitaré la protección total del artículo. --LTblb (talk) 10:25, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Yo no tengo ningun problema con usted comunicarse conmigo en espanyol, sin embargo, creo que seria mejor comunicarse en Ingles y en la pagina del artículo en cuestion. Esto tiene la ventaja de centralizar la discusion y permitir que las personas que no hablan espanyol para contribuir a la discusion. Valenciano (talk) 19:12, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

LLeva razón, y le pido disculpas por mi brusquedad, probablemente mi actitud haya sido ciertamente injusta con usted. Un saludo.--LTblb (talk) 21:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Yo tambien pido disculpas si se he ofendido. No es mi intencion molestarle. Si cooperamos en esto, podemos producir un mejor articulo. La costa merece mejor que las 15 lineas dedicadas a el.Valenciano (talk) 22:13, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Aunque mi inglés es, desgraciadamente, bastante pobre, intentaré ayudarle en cualquier cosa que me solicite. Un saludo. --LTblb (talk) 23:01, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Religion categories for deceased people

Hi. I notice you've been removing a lot of categories for dead people citing WP:BLPCAT as the justification. The relevant guideline for deceased people is WP:CAT/R, which is actually slightly different; I suspect most of the people you're removing the category from would be able to pass that criterion. Either way, probably better to cite the proper guideline to make it easier for people to follow. Frickeg (talk) 23:47, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, that does make things a little different, in the ones I've looked at I was usually considering whether their religion was sourced and whether it was relevant to their notability. Where there was any doubt, I left the category in. If it's a simple case of a reference that x belongs to a particular religion being sufficient, that's not something I'd agree with, but if it's consensus, also not something I'm going to edit against. I think I'll ask on the talk page for clarification. Valenciano (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Kind of the same issue, but slightly different. You removed a category with this edit from the biography of a living person with a summary that there was nothing in the article to suggest his Catholicism contributed to his notability. But the composer in question is perhaps best known (beyond his unrelated legal career) for composing Masses and in particular, a Papal Mass for World Youth Day. Seems like a contributing factor to me. Your thoughts? Stalwart111 22:39, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

You're right, I've restored the cat to that. Valenciano (talk) 07:56, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Infobox stats

Hi, I've seen your recent amendment to the stats displayed in the infobox at Roberto Soldado, and wanted to let you know these account for league stats only; other competitions are excluded. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 19:25, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem, though we should probably add a hidden comment in the infobox to that effect. Valenciano (talk) 07:34, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited European Party of Ukraine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ukrainian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello Valenciano, I am writing to request your assistance with the wiki article Evan Strong. There are two alerts at the top of the page that I am requesting your help with. First, I have removed all sources that could be considered "self published" and would like your review to see if the alert can be removed. Second, I understand the conflict of interest policy, but have attempted to be as objective as possible in editing the article on Evan Strong. What can we do here regarding the alert about this issue? Can we invite other wiki editors to review the article for accuracy? Is that something you can help with to be able to be able to release the alert? Thanks, rogerestrong Rogerestrong (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it -- I don't know what I was thinking at the moment. --Jmk (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

No problem, easy and common mistake a lot of people make. Valenciano (talk) 18:35, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello my friend :) I do not wish to be in a edit war in Largest cities in Europe but two editors keep changing the article after we discussed on the talk page, they are removing cities who has been on the list for a long time. Lactasamir (talk) 19:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate that, but I feel they have made a reasonable argument there. I've commented on the talk page and suggest we all discuss it there. Either way, I count four reverts of yours in a 24 hour period and don't want you to be blocked, so please discuss rather than reverting the content. Valenciano (talk) 20:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Valenciano :) I now feel that the needed sources on Talk:Largest cities in Europe are found, as you requested, to validate that many international institutions regards the three Caucasus states as being a part of Europe, and I hope that maybe you will look at them, and maybe restore the list as you may find suitable. So we can avoid further controversies. thank you my friend :) Lactasamir (talk) 19:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

October comments

Hi Valenciano! Thank you for your comment. I have re-done the changes to the Dexter episodes page, this time with edit comment! Cheers, Daniel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.73.11 (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, can you just forget about this? The information in the article you try to remove is confirmed by federal Russian TV channels and newspapers. Please stop being so pestiferous. You're not right anyways.--95.72.99.126 (talk) 12:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

That is currently being discussed at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#COI_on_All_Tomorrow.27s_Parties_.28band.29. In the meantime make your case there and please don't remove maintenance templates. Valenciano (talk) 18:02, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. I thought it only right to inform you that I have mentioned you Thank you. --Rockysantos (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, it looks like LTblb is likely to be blocked for sockpuppetry. As my only real involvement with them comes from the Costa Del Sol stuff above, I'll wait for the outcome of the SPI before I comment. Valenciano (talk) 06:36, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of 1957 Valencia flood

Hello! Your submission of 1957 Valencia flood at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Crispulop (talk) 20:20, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

I also noticed that in the article you have some neighborhoods by their Valencian name rather than Castillian, while you have other names in Castillian. This is ofcourse no problem for DYK, I just noticed it while reading the article, being familiar with the city of Valencia myself. You might wish to pick on or the other for consistency. Like I said in the DYK nomination, good job on creating the article. It's nice to see that someone concerns himself with writing about Valencia.

Thanks for reviewing that, I've moved the cites as required. Regarding the district names, fair point. I worked in Marxalenes so was used to hearing/seeing both variants and that's slipped into the article. I'll tweak that a little later. Valenciano (talk) 23:06, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Done. That was a very depressing day out. Valenciano (talk) 22:22, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Curious

So as is usual with the boxing section of this site, some editor will go around adding Irish into as many boxers backgrounds as possible regardless of evidence or whatever. Recently an IP (70.120.95.221, which seems somehow familiar with another IP in the past) has been making such edits as VintageKits, Sweeney and River City Boy where/are fond of.

Most curious another IP seems to be tracking 70.120.95.221 and reverting them leaving this message on their talk page, a message that was removed by River City Boy - their first edit here since August. Most curious and possibly a return to old habit via this IP. Mabuska ^(talk) 22:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

It is quite possibly vk, but as the previous SPI came up inconclusive, I'm reluctant to file another without more evidence. Valenciano (talk) 11:36, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I know that, however the sock-puppetry in this case may be River City Boy using that IP to circumvent the previous scrutiny that they have had in regards to the ethnicity issue. Mabuska ^(talk) 13:04, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

It's more than possible, but again, having filed an SPI once, I'm reluctant to do so again without strong evidence as it could be labelled as harassment otherwise. Valenciano (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

But..........

Could you please find me on the terms and conditions page where I couldn't right about the zodiac. And I never said that. I meant that i'd put it up for speedy deletion if........it's not good. So i'd be watching him to see if his edits and creations are duplicates or they are not historically, scientifically, and mathematically accurate. I never said i'd disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. I never said those words. you assumed it. Assumption is makes an ass out of you and me. One of my favourite sayings

In this case the article you created was based on a book which was not possible to be traced. That means that the book either doesn't exist or that it could be a small dubious source. Either way, you would need to find much better sources which make the same claims. Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources makes it clear that articles must be based on "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Wikipedia also doesn't give undue prominence to fringe theories (see WP:FRINGE) which your article did. Valenciano (talk) 12:06, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
