Based on Talk:Ghost_in_the_Shell_(franchise)#Proposed_merge_with_Ghost_in_the_Shell_.28manga.29, I've moved the Ghost in the Shell page to Ghost in the Shell (franchise) and made Ghost in the Shell redirect to Ghost in the Shell (disambiguation). Since you voted to oppose the merge, I assumed you would have no issue with the disputed page becoming a disambiguation since two of the articles it concerns are at GAN and the disputed page is likely to be at GAN by the end of the year. If you agree, drop a note or something, here or at the merge discussion. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:05, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

removed photos without justification

When I tried contributing my photos which I made available under free licenses User:Niemti removed them saying I shouldn't use my own work because it is a conflict of interest. So is the photographer of a photo not allowed to add the photo to a relevant article? But many photos I specifically produced them for adding them on specific Wikipedia articles, or I choose photos from my portfolio. I've produced hundreds of thousands of photos, the recent ones are more than 200,000 photos with full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras, I wanted to test whether it makes sense to donate photos under free licenses, and apparently I wouldn't donate them or put them under free licenses if I knew beforehand Wikipedia doesn't accept photographers using their own photos on Wikipedia articles, I'd have preferred to keep my copyright as licensing photos for magazines/newspapers etc is what would keep me alive unless of course viewers of photos would want to paypal me or flattr me donations (in which case I'd prefer to fuck copyright anyway and let everyone use everything I create). I tested my idea to donate my photos by identifying some articles to which I wanted to add photos, then choosing relevant photos from my many-years collection or producing new photos specifically for the articles I wanted to add my photos, and I added the photos only to see them removed. Even when I tried to add photos to the articles taken by other photographers, they were removed, indicating some editors apparently had a personal issue with me. This is the reason I left Wikipedia and decided to fork the articles to which I want to add my photos and make them available thru my site. I admire the idea of a free encyclopedia as well as free photography, but I don't think it's good idea to let editors claim a conflict of interest when they see a photographer using his or her own photo in an article, it really destroys all motivation and all willingness to become part of the community, and instead drives people like me to fork the project, copying the Wikipedia articles and including the photos I want to put, and publishing the result independently but excluding the editors or the community and policies or culture which prevented me doing that as part of the Wikipedia community.

Category:Video games featuring protagonists of selectable gender

Hi Niemti, I haven't really played any of the main Ultima games, but I know in both of the Worlds of Ultima games (Savage Empire and Martian Dreams) the main character, the Avatar, is always male. I suspect it's the same for the regular Ultima games. Defined very broadly, they may still belong in Category:Video games featuring protagonists of selectable gender, as they do have female characters the player can take control of. A player could even have them lead the party as a default, though the main protagonist will always be male. The category seems more useful for games like the Fallout or Elder Scrolls series, i.e., those with customizable protagonists. Otherwise, the likes of Final Fantasy VII and VIII would seem to count, as there are parts in both games where a female leads the party. A scope note on the category might clarify things. What do you think? --BDD (talk) 22:04, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • It occurs to me you may not have responded because there already is such a scope note there. The Worlds of Ultima don't fit those criteria; the character creation process determines your starting stats, but you play a male Aryan Übermensch regardless. Feel free to drop me a line if I've misinterpreted any of this. --BDD (talk) 20:31, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia

Hi. I saw at WT:WikiProject Video games#Liu Kang in other media that you had created a number of in other media articles by splitting them from the character articles. Your creations were missing the edit summaries required by WP:Copying within Wikipedia and WP:Splitting#How to properly split an article. Please provide them in the future. Thanks. (I see that you have redirected some or all of the new articles.) Flatscan (talk) 05:29, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know you probably just resent me, and much of WP:VG in general, and probably don't care, but regardless, I wanted to say thanks for cooperating and redirecting the "in other media" articles. Thank you. Sergecross73 msg me 15:15, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Battletoads

Hi. I see you've jumped into editing Battletoads (video game). Now, I just wondered, what was with the ":|" summary in the edit in which you removed a bunch of stuff? AFAICT, in your subsequent edits you ended up incorporating most of it back, so in the end the text is pretty much the same as when I left it, only organized differently. Did I miss anything?

International cosplay photos to balance US-centric article

Images from cosplay conventions at various countries are needed in the cosplay article to illustrate the international reach of this wonderful hobby. Reverting the addition of an image which helps illustrate this international appeal of cosplay doesn't help to balance the predominantly American focus of various articles, including the cosplay article. I don't think that having pictures mainly from US cosplay conventions helps to create an internationally balanced encyclopedia. Cogiati (talk) 10:55, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It'sx not "US-centric", there are pictures from Japan (2), France, Russia. --Niemti (talk) 11:05, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Europe isn't represented though, the addition of a photo from Greece would balance the article. Cogiati (talk) 12:09, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No one cares. There are no pics from the Central Europe too, I'm from the Central Europe, yet I don't insert my pics into the article for this stupid "reason" (while there are thousands of my pics on Facebook alone). Please go away. --Niemti (talk) 12:13, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pic to illustrate media interest in Tira cosplay

MTV Greece journalists interview a cosplayer dressed as Tira at a comics and cosplay convention

I think this picture (it shows famous local cosplayer Sofia Koutsouveli aka Sofia Lucifairy, the winner of Comicdom 2011 competition, she also happens to be my model in many pro photoshoots I've produced) would be good to add to the Tira (Soulcalibur) article to illustrate the media interest in her Tira cosplay as television journalists as well as many other photojournalists interviewed her and photographed her for her Tira costume whe made herself. I think the fact that a Tira cosplayer was interviewed for major television station is significant and it shows the impact of Tira outside videogames. In fact lately Tira cosplays are becoming much more usual here and the interview was discussed a lot in the local cosplay community, inspiring many other cosplayers to pursue dressing up as Tira.

Jessica Nigri

Hi. Please do not add or re-add unsourced or poorly sourced information to Wikipedia, as you did when you reverted my edits to Jessica Nigri. Webites with user-generated content, including YouTube accounts of uncredentialed users, Facebook fan pages, WordPress blogs, etc. are not reliable under WP:USERG, and notability of an article's topic must be established through secondary sources, and not the subject's own websites, which are both primary sources and self-published, which has nothing to do with the gamescon issue. Since you've accumulated over 64,000 edits over the course of the year in which you've been editing Wikipedia, you should know this. You would also know this if you bothered reading my edit summary and the policies I linked you to in it, which is rather ironic, given your obnoxious "learn2read and learn2hear" comments, which clearly violate WP:CIV.

If you have a valid, policy-based rationale for reverting another editor's edits, then provide it in your edit summary, and if you and the other editor disagree, discuss the matter on the article's talk page, and invite other editors to join the discussion to garner a sense of the community's consensus. But splitting hairs over the minor issue of the gamescom casing does not provide any justification for restoring Facebook fan pages and YouTube accounts as sources, an issue you did not address in your summaries. Do not engage in blind, knee-jerk reversions, as that constitutes edit warring, which is a blockable offense, as is your incivility. Nightscream (talk) 01:15, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's her own Facebook page, not "Facebook fan pages". I should better say: learn2listen (as for this interview). And it's you who are being obnoxious. --Niemti (talk) 01:22, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as:

  1. the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;
  2. it does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or other entities);
  3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject;
  4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity;
  5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.

These requirements also apply to pages from social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

kthxbye. --Niemti (talk) 01:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, the "notability of an article's topic was established through secondary sources" already many months ago back ,when it was smaller than 10 kb, even before she even started professionally modeling on the scale she does it now (there was an AFD and it passed). And welcome to Wikipedia. --Niemti (talk) 01:30, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your latest revert of my edits in which you stated in your edit summary, "goto WP:USERG, press ctrl+F, type "facebook" in the search bar, learn2read", as well as your similar message above:
  • First of all, the passage you indicate states, "These requirements also apply to pages from social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook" is irrelevant, since a Facebook fan page is a user-generated source, and not a self-published source, since a self-published source would be Nigri's own Facebook page, and not a fan page. A fan page, however, being a user-generated source, is not reliable under WP:USERG, which is part of Wikipedia's Reliable Sources policy.
  • Second, even if the Facebook page were a self-published source, then the portion of WP:SELFPUB that you point to would clearly support my position, not yours, since the passage states that the prohibition on self-published sources also applies to social networking sites like Facebook. I'm not sure why you think it somehow bolsters your position, but it does not. If I'm wrong, please explain how.
  • In addition to WP:SELFPUB, any source that originates from the subject, such as their own personal website, Facebook page, YouTube account, etc. is also a primary source. In addition to the need for notability to be established by secondary sources, articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, as indicated by WP:PSTS. They can contain some primary or tertiary sources, but the accomplishments that form the bulk of it should not be secondary ones, which is clearly the case with all videos from Nigri's YouTube account (to say nothing of the all the other YouTube videos from accounts that do not appear to be reliable sources). So whether notability was established months ago is irrelevant. There's nothing wrong with relying on primary sources for innocuous, non-self-serving or non-aggrandizing information like where the subject is from or where they grew up, as I do this myself in BLP articles. But anything goes to the reason why a subject is notable, regardless of whether sources already in the article were sufficient during an AfD, needs to be a secondary one. An article only needs two or three secondary sources to qualify for notability, but that doesn't mean that everything after that should be a primary source free-for-all.
  • You did an apparently blind, mass-revert of all of my edits, and not just the removal of the Facebook fan page cites. You did not address the issue of the YouTube videos, the missing citation publication information that I added to some citations; wikilinks; etc. By reverting all that material without providing a rationale for it or discussing it, you are engaging in edit-warring, which is a blockable offense.
  • Lastly, you are continuing your violations of Wikipedia's Civility policy with your rude "learn2read" remarks, which is also a blockable offense. If you feel that I've been obnoxious, as you indicated above, then please quote the statement or statements on my part that you feel fit this description and we'll discuss them.c
If you have a specific counterargument, then please provide it in a civil manner, either here, or on the article's talk page. Otherwise, the next time you violate WP:USERG, WP:PSTS and WP:SELFPUB by restoring material supported only by self-published, userg-generated or primary sources, WP:EDITWAR by doing reverts without discussion, or and WP:CIV with your rude comments, you will be blocked from editing. Please familiarize yourself with the linked policies and guidelines and make an effort to resolve your conflicts with other editors in a civil manner. If you cannot do this, you will not be permitted to edit here. Nightscream (talk) 02:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have specific counterargument: I don't violate any WP:SPERG. Go and see where's the only (1) instance of "Facebook" on the entirity of Wikipedia:Verifiability, before coming up with any sort of pseudo-rules you imagine next. --Niemti (talk) 02:10, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not what you mean by WP:SPERG. Did you mean WP:USERG? Please clarify. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:13, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Click your own link. Come on. Find "Facebook" there, on this page. Come back to me and appologize very, very nicely. And yes, all of these YouTube videos there are perfectly fine. After an aplogy, revert yourself (including your "the missing citation publication information" that wasn't needed and wikilinks that weren't needed).--Niemti (talk) 02:15, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I provided many links. Which one are you referring to? If you want to reference a particular passage on a policy or guideline page, then why not do so? If you're referring to the passage at WP:SELFPUB, that passage indicates that that policy also applies to social networking pages like Facebook, which I pointed out to you above. So a Facebook page is out, whether it's Nigri's own page (which is prohibited by both WP:PSTS and WP:SELFPUB), or a fan's page (which is prohibited by WP:USERG). If I'm misunderstanding you, then please elaborate.
Those YouTube videos are not "fine". Anyone can post a YouTube video. That's why it's called user-generated content. Anyone who's been editing here for any significant amount of time knows that any webpage that can be created by a non-credentialed, anonymous web user is not considered reliable under WP:IRS. I'm surprised that someone who's amassed the edits you have in a year does not know this. But if you don't believe me, by all means, ask other experienced editors and admins. Or ask the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.
The publication info of a cited source, such as its author, date, title, publisher, etc. is indeed needed, which is why there are parameters for that information in the citation templates used on Wikipedia, and is an integral part of Wikpipedia's Citing Sources policy. Saying that it is not necessary to give the publication info of a cited source not supported by the widespread practices of the editing community here.
As for your request, you've insulted me, and repeatedly, and have offered no response when I asked you to provide instances in which I was not civil to you. And even if I had been rude to you, you certainly have offered no words of regret for your own unjustified condescension, while I've tried to keep this discussion cordial. So I see no reason for an "apology". Nightscream (talk) 02:28, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Click either "WP:USERG" or "WP:SELFPUB", it's the same page. Then find "Facebook". It's there. Find it. Read it (do it carefully, if you can't read it normally and understand properly). Then revert yourself and apololize, in this order. (There's no "Facebook" at "WP:PSTS" which is about the articles about "an event", while this is an article about a person.) And in case if you're a case of an edit warrior who really can't read, I take this to admins because this is ridicalous..) --Niemti (talk) 02:37, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are stepping over the line on NPA. --MASEM (t) 02:39, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What? Oh, hey, you tell this guy. --Niemti (talk) 02:42, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wherher it's listed or not, it's pretty clear that a FB account is going to violate SPS...by the definition of how FB operates, you know? Sergecross73 msg me 02:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your apology and revert: Do it ASAP because it's an article that's "7035 in traffic on en.wikipedia.org" and you inflicted a lot of damage to it and to my hard work. If you want an apology, then you're going to have to explain two things:

  • The statements on my part in which I was incivil towards you.
  • The reason why I owe you an apology, but you do not owe one to me, when your comments have been far more unambiguously and repeatedly incivil than mine.

I have no problem admitted when I'm wrong, and apologizing when appropriate, and have done so before. But you don't get an apology by merely dogmatically demanding it, especially when you refused to answer my point above regarding where I was incivil and about your own incivility. The traffic experienced by the article does not change this.

As for your "hard work", your hard work was adding 90 self-published sources, primary sources and user-generated sources to an article, which outnumbers the 76 or so that did not unambiguously violate those policies (which include some that I left in the article simply because I wasn't sure about them). I'm sorry that you had to see your work undone. But sometimes it happens on a collaborate project like this, and if it makes you feel any better, I've had to see my work undone, particularly during my early days editing here. But when editors familiarize themslves closely with the most important core policies and guidelines, this is less likely to happen on a large scale.

Click either "WP:USERG" or "WP:SELFPUB", it's the same page. Then find "Facebook". It's there. Find it. Read it I have. And I responded to this point of your repeatedly above by quoting the passage in question (as have you), which states that the policy that prohibits self-published sources also applies to Facebook. If this is wrong, then explain how. Merely repeating "search for Facebook, search for Facebook" ad nauseam does not constitute an explanation. Please elaborate on why you think that passage supports your position, rather than mine.

...if you can't read it normally and understand properly... I notice you spelled the word apologize as "apololize". Does that count?

Since you have refused respond to my questions or requests for clarification directly, and continue to violate WP:CIV, I will not continue this discussion. I will not return here unless you contact me on my talk page to inform me that you will cease your rude comments, and directly respond to my points. And if you attempt to revert the article, you will be blocked, and the article may be protected from further edits. Take care. Nightscream (talk) 02:46, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus Christ you dudes: "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field," (btw: I'm pretty sure jessica Nigri is "a published experts in the field" of Jessica Nigri, or cosplay npw seriously speaking) These requirements also apply to pages from social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook." Seriously. GOD. I CITED IT RIGHT THERE ABOVE ALREADY. HOW CAN IT BE ANY MISUNDERSTOOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL. I'm taking it to the admins. --Niemti (talk) 02:49, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves
But not if it's unduly self-serving, an exception claim, and/or the article is not based primarily on such sources. Since we're talking about 17 citations of that Facebook account, which supports much of the material in the article that goes directly to her notability, it's clearly a violation of that policy. Again, if her website or FB page were being used to support where she grew up or her date of birth, or her hobbies, that would be fine. But it's being used to support the very thing for which she is notable. For this reason, it can't be used.

I'm taking it to the admins.
I am an admin. And so is Sergecross73. And so is Masem. And yet, you responded to our attempts to discuss this with you with obnoxiousness, accusations that you refused to back up, and by dismissing everything we've had to say. But if you really have convinced yourself that all three of us are wrong and you're right, and that somewhere out there is an admin or admins that will support your position, then you have every right to solicit their viewpoints. Peace, Niemti. Nightscream (talk) 03:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just checked what was going on at the page and was like 'huh' and now I see this? Are we really threatening Niemti with a civility block when there is the far worse Eric Corbett matter getting absolutely zero repercussions? Niemti can be abrasive, he can be rude, but he takes this very personally and I see little value in tagging citation needed to the conventions name in the table. WP:CIVIL needs to be explicitly defined or enforced equally because Niemti is emotionally hotheaded and always responds in this exact same manner. Yes, most of those cosplay appearances are not really that important and Negri does have extensive coverage, but this is looking like tit for tat.[1] I'm going to clean this up a bit - so how about both Nightscream and Niemti chill out for a moment and let some third parties facilitate some resolution? I'm going to start by removing the fact tags on the name of the event, but not the cosplay associated on the right side. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:45, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

Another admin chiming in. Whoa-oh-oh-kay, taking everything I see from least to most important:

  • When you cite a source that's been archived at web.archive.org, the publisher in the citation is the original site, not the archive mirror.
  • Really? You're going to list and cite every single time she's dressed up for an event? That's the most unmanageable/unwieldy table I've seen in a long time.
  • Really though, you can just say she's cosplayed at dozens of events as dozens of characters; you don't need to list every single combination.
  • Citing Nigri's personal facebook page is fine, I guess, even if she named it the "Jessica Nigri Fan Page", as long as you're not relying on it to support notability... but seriously, you're using it to cite minutia that doesn't belong in the article. This is an encyclopedia article, not a fan page- she already has those! You don't need to cite every cosplay she's ever done, and you can base her notability on the interviews she's given.
  • And the big one... I'm utterly shocked (not) to find that Niemti is, once again, in a screaming match with someone. You need to cut out the "learn2read and learn2hear", "WP:SPERG" (he didn't catch it, but I did), the all-caps, and the usual brow-beating of anyone who disagrees with you. You turn every discussion into a fight, regardless of who is correct about what point, and you refuse to read other editor's points or even consider that they could be right about any part of what they said. This is the exact thing that got you banned from WP:GAN and got me to block you before; I'm perfectly willing to do it again. I don't really care about the state of one over-blown article about a model, but I do care about people creating an incivil and abusive environment, since that's the kind of thing that pushes editors to retire. Cut it out, now. Last time I said that I would double the block length each time; since it's been a while I'm dropping it back down to two weeks for the next time you start freaking out, but I'm perfectly willing to ramp it up again. --PresN 03:51, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If other members of the community have been aware that Niemti has been acting this way for some time, then they should've addressed this matter then. Saying that he takes his personally and "always" responds this way does not excuse his behavior, but makes the community's lack of response to it even more egregious, and to downplay Niemti's completely obnoxious remarks towards me is inexcusable. I do not know who Eric Corbett is, but if his behavior has been similar or worse, then he should've been similarly admonished. If you need to me to intervene as an uninvolved admin in some matter regarding his behavior, then let me know.
As for the citation tags on Nigri's cosplay appearances, those appearances go directly to the reason why she's notable. I tagged the convention names as that is where citations should be placed regarding her appearance at them. I tagged those on November 15, and if they're not sourced by December 15, I'm moving them to the talk page, until they can be sourced. That is not "tit for tat". That's the upholding of all the policies regarding sourcing. You can't say that there's extensive coverage without putting citations of that coverage in the article. Personally, I lean toward agreeing with User:PresN, in that every appearance doesn't have to be listed. But if anyone thinks her appearances should be listed, then they need to be sourced, and with reliable secondary sources, and not with her personal Facebook page, since that violates WP:SELFPUB and WP:PSTS, as 17 citations of that Facebook account were used to support the reason for which is notable.
As for third party intervention, well, two other admins have chimed in here as well, and Niemti has pretty much dismissed everything they said. Nightscream (talk) 04:05, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say this Nightscream, but based on the comment about Eric, I take it that you do not regularly visit the drama boards and given that matter I'd suggest staying far away from it. Niemti is allowed to cite certain things under SELFPUB, and that typically includes "I wore X at Y; see these pictures" because unless you believe the pictures are fake, the images are a reliable source to state that she wore X at Y and the publication of that photo is a credible source for that very obvious claim. Does every appearance need to be listed; no, not by a long shot. I'd like the ones for which are most notable or have garnered awards. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:21, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, she's notable for other reasons than simply 'attending conventions while in a silly costume', this is what thousands of other girls do and they're not notable for it alone. She's notable beyond that. But if any of these girls became cosplay celebrities (so they themselves become event attractions through appearing in their costumes like this thing tommorow, for example), their cosplay stuff would be notable too. And cosplayers' thing is their costumes. That's obviously. Just like you don't usually skip over amatour films in an actor's filmography, a role is a role. (There are also non-event costumes, but that's just her private-ish stuff for fun and/or to sell merch.) I also don't know who Eric Corbett, so go with it to User talk:Eric Corbett. --Niemti (talk) 06:15, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just noticed that you've reverted my edits in Spetsnaz and Spetsnaz GRU where I've added a wikilink to a (still inexistant) article about "Michael Svechnykov" which resulted in a red link, wihtout providing a rationale for that. My edit was consistent with other articles which link to the same subject; in addition there is nothing wrong in having a red link in an article if there is an intention to write that missing article.
As you haven't give a reason for undoing my edit, I'll reinstate the link unless there are very sound reasons not to do so; I understand that the name should be "Mikhail" and I'll keep this way. Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 23:49, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration evidence

Hello, Niemti. This is a courtesy notification that your name has been mentioned in the evidence for an arbitration case at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Nightscream/Evidence. You are welcome to respond in your own section, by December 29th. For the Arbitration Committee, Rschen7754 20:18, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • However, as me and another user mentioned, we don't consider your actions or behaviour to be relevant to that specific arbitration case and this is nothing "against" you, so there is no real need to defend yourself. What should be posted is if you have further evidence of issues with Nightscream and/or you believe his behaviour towards you was inappriopriate for an admin (or the opposite if you wish to present evidence in Nightscream's favor, of course). ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 20:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
