Improper RfC closure at Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes

Re Personal attacks at Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes

I am greatly offended by the latest personal attack by Liangshan Yi in the RFC comments. As this needs addressing and I am not allowed to take further part in the RfC I thought you may be able to do something. Only one of the current editors was editing the article at the date of Liangshan Yi's latest "makes Deckers look bad" diffs (Nov 2009) and he had only begun editing it a few weeks earlier with all his edits involving the reversion of spam and vandalism.[1] The first edit to add or remove actual content by any current editor was made in April 2010 and within six months the article was looking very similar to the current version. It can equally be argued that the current Australian editors are responsible for the neutrality of the current version.
Also P&W and Liangshan keep going on about Luda being a case that proves their argument. Luda in fact has been specifically mentioned as part of the generic dispute as can be seen here. Cheers Wayne (talk) 05:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

To clarify, I'm not asking that you report it or anything like that. I just feel someone should point out the flaws in his argument to put the constant claims of Australian bias to bed. Wayne (talk) 07:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Greetings... Thanks for your helpful editing in the Beyond the Black Rainbow article. I noticed you added some reviews to the "Reception" section.

RSN

Hi NinjaRobotPirate. Thanks for your comments in the section on WP:RSN regarding the website 'movie-collection.com'. Whilst I am considering the possibility that your assessment is true, I am currently not convinced due to the reasons I have mentioned in my reply to your comment. I'm not sure if you watch the page or if you just stop by it from time to time like I do, so I thought I'd let you know I have replied to you comment on your talk page, as I am somewhat eager to find out if this source can be used or not. I'm going to wait for at least a third opinion anyway (or ask for one if nobody else drops in on the conversation) before deciding on whether or not to use the source, i'd just appreciate if you could take my comments into consideration when you look at the source again. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 01:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

No, I don't watch the page. Thanks for the note. It's probably a good idea to get more opinions, because I'm certainly no expert. However, the site seems quite suspicious to me, and I didn't see any obvious source listed for their content. That immediately set off warning bells, as well as the broken English. Sometimes you can find citations for awards on the website for the organization, but it's often very difficult to find citations for nominations. I've found local newspapers to be helpful in that respect (for example, the Toronto Sun for the Toronto International Film Festival). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:28, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice and comments. Freikorp (talk) 06:32, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atlaspheres, I have deleted all of the listed articles.

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Gladiator (1986 film)

I wish to let you know that "substantial" is NOT a requirement of WP:SIGCOV. Per that guideline, and accepted by WP:NFF, "significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. User:Taylor Trescott provided some quite decent, non-trivial sources, meeting the definition under SIGCOV. Article improvement is now underway and I am myself looking for more. Best, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Information request.

On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sortable list of Attorneys-General of Australia, I have requested some information from you, (should you be in the mood to provide it). Thanks in advance, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

First off, I'd like to apologize for giving you any potential stress related to Wikipedia, as I see that you're already on a Wikibreak. My comments in that discussion were not meant as criticism of your actions, but I see now that they could easily be taken that way. Wikipedia can be arcane and bureaucratic, and investigating its inner workings can only lead to disillusionment. I can understand wanting to avoid bureaucracy and overly critical people, but Wikipedia has tightened its rules on article creation over the years. When I said that consensus should have been sought, what I meant was to bring up a discussion on the talk page of the original article. WP:BRD is not policy, but it's a helpful essay on this situation. Basically, editors are encouraged to make bold changes to articles (such as making tables sortable), but when other editors take exception to those changes, the matter should be brought up for discussion on the talk page. One possible route is through a request for comments, where uninvolved editors are solicited for opinions. I can help you with that, if you'd like, but it might be easier to just make a suggestion and see what other people think. Maybe the person who reverted the edit has changed his/her mind or lost interest in the article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:27, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

What a remarkably civil reply! Thank you!! As is often the case, it's past bedtime here - I'll reply further tomorrow. Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:36, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, you recently created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roedy Green (2nd nomination).

Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:31, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Honestly, and with all due respect for your work at locating sources and rewriting the article, I have the same concerns as PeteBaltar and Green Cardamom.

Thank You

Thank you for your kind comments here. Apparently I posted my review request in the wrong forum. In any case, due to the bullying in question from the other user and the various sockpuppets supporting him, I have elected to depart WP for the time being. Unfortunately, it just doesn't appear I am able to participate in the Ronan Farrow entry without becoming subject to intense abuse by the other editor and an evolving cast of sockpuppets. In any case, the reason I really wanted to comment is to let you know that the "other registered user" the editor in question kept referencing as also decrying my edits as disruptive has just been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet (the ninth so far) so your instinct was correct and I thank you much for expressing it. I hope someday someone has the courage to address the very strange behavior occurring in that entry by an established editor and an almost endless string of socks ... I thought it was me, but - alas - it's not. King regards, BlueSalix (talk) 02:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		for kind words of support and emotional validation BlueSalix (talk) 02:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

As an independent, longtime Wikipedia editor with a constructive reputation, unaffiliated with the socks in any way, I need to point out that despite BlueSalix's self-serving assertions, no one ever "bullied" him or subjected him to "intense abuse." Those are false accusations, and serious ones. The Ronan Farrow talk-page discussions are available for anyone to read, as are, via history, posts BlueSalix deleted on his own talk page.

Additionally, BlueSalix has just taken a highly in appropriate action in asking admin Someguy1212 here to roll back Ronan Farrow to his own preferred version as an end-run to avoid other editors and an RfC that was going against him. Many of Blue Salix's own edits have been biased, one-sided attacking edits that clearly appear to be based on his own personal disagreements with the article subject's politics. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:33, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

I really disliked it the first time I watched it. When I had trouble remembering the plot details, I rewatched it, and I liked it significantly more that time. I agree – Karl was pretty cool. After I worked on that article, I debated creating articles on Timothy V.

Hi. Thanks for expanding the article. Please note that the parent country categories (in thise case German films, Swiss films) should be included on all film articles per WP:FILMCAT, as they are non-diffusing.

Orthodox Presbyterian Church

Hi there, thank you for your comment of Talk:Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I'm unsure how to move the comments or the RFC to achieve what you asked for and it wasn't my intention to include that whole discussion in the RFC. Could you explain how to do it, it's my first time using the template. SPACKlick (talk) 08:39, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

The problem is that really long discussions tend to discourage outside output. For this reason, people often choose to break RfCs into multiple sections. For example, check out WP:RFC#Example, which has sections for a survey and discussion. Comments like mine, which express support or opposition for the proposition, would go in the Survey section. Debate would go in the Discussion section, where it could be safely ignored by editors uninterested in reading through it. I don't think it would be controversial to move both of your comments to a discussion section, but you never know when someone might take offense. That's why I suggested that you both voluntarily agree to do so. Of course, I probably shouldn't talk about cleaning up untidy talk pages; my own user talk page needs to be cleaned up, but I've been too lazy to remove all the bot spam. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:07, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Greetings: I'm the nominator for deletion of article Kentaro Sato. My reasons for doing so were stated at this page which you have visited and where you have cast a vote favoring deletion. I felt it was my responsibility to make sure we don't delete a valuable WP article if there is any chance the subject is notable. So I carried out a quick web search and collected what I've found at the article's talk page. Since you have taken part and voted in the recent process could you take a look at the data I've gathered and let me know what you think and if that changes your position. I appreciate your help. Thanks. Contact Basemetal here 05:44, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Halloween

Hello, I see you revert my changes to the Halloween. I removed those four categories because Halloween is filed under the parent category Category:Halloween (franchise) which IS filed under those four categories. So, Halloween is listed under those categories twice now, once as an article filed under Category:Halloween (franchise) and once on its own. This double categorization is to be avoided on Wikipedia except for non-diffusing categories (mostly those involving gender and race). Please see WP:Categorization if you are not aware of category guidelines.

For example, if there is an article titled "Weather in Albany" it would be filed under the category "Weather in New York State" which is then filed under the category "Weather in the United States". But "Weather in Albany" isn't filed under the category "Weather in the United States" because it is already filed under the child category "Weather in New York State". Categories are built upon a hierarchical taxonomy. If there WASN'T a Category:Halloween (franchise), then it would be fine to file the individual movie under those four categories but since there is a parent category that includes all Halloween movies, we don't categorize, in addition, each separate movie under those same categories that apply to Category:Halloween (franchise) because that is redundant categorization. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

@Liz: For an eponymous category, it's optional whether they are removed from parent categories. For example, The Terminator, Terminator 2, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film), and Alien (film), which are all Good articles, duplicate the categories in their eponymous category. I can't offhand find any Featured film articles which do so. I'd suggest you start a discussion on the talk page. At the very least, I'm leaning toward keeping Halloween in "slasher films" because it's one of the most iconic slasher films ever made and a rare example that received critical acclaim. People are going to expect to find it there. I don't care as much about the other redundant categories, to be honest. Thanks for the note, and I hope that I don't come across as too stubborn on this issue. I'm not going to edit war over this, and I'll go with whatever the consensus is. I'd prefer it be discussed at WP:FILM or the article's talk page before we remove those categories, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:46, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Cvilleslacker

I'm fairly sure that the IP address is the same user. I've left a message on his page asking him politely to not continue to vandalize the article because quite frankly, this sort of thing can end up being career suicide if they make a huge deal out of only having positive reviews and wanting to remove any evidence of negative reviews. I'll ask for a page protection for the article, although they may say that this is too soon for protection. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 21:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Electrick Children

The page move of Electrick Children from AFC seems to have left categories in the article which are not visible in the edit screen. You seem to have removed one of them (2013 films) with this edit, but the other one, (English-language films), is preventing cats from being in alphabetical order. When I edited to put them in order, they appeared in order on the Preview screen, but after I clicked "Save", English-language had gone back to second place again. Do you know how to fix this? 86.41.42.29 (talk) 07:34, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

It looks OK to me. template:filmdate automatically adds a special category, and I changed the release date from 2013 to 2012. That's why it got removed from 2013 films. The language parameter of the infobox also adds the language category automatically and overrides your placement. I gave up a long time ago trying to force the categories to display how I wanted them, and I guess I developed a rather idiosyncratic style that is unsupported by guidelines. I once thought category:American films was redundant, too, but, as you can see from my talk page, another user recently set me straight me straight on that. It's unintuitive, but consensus is that we include it. I'm not the most prolific content creator, but I'm fairly experienced -- and I still learn new things constantly. It takes a while to get the hang of all these arcane rules, guidelines, consensus-based conventions, and script-based side-effects. If that's your first article, then you did an amazing job. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Follow up on your opinion re Jennifer Government: NationStates's "Possible Abuse" section

You commented on Talk:Jennifer Government: NationStates, particularly the deleted "Possible Abuse" section. As a new editor, I would greatly appreciate further comment, more information, or some advice regarding this article and this issue -- particularly as I and another editor have added unanswered comments. Essentially, the "Possible Abuse" section meets WP:VERIFY/WP:RS and the rest of the article really does not. After a month (in which NS staff have commented on this issue) no new sources have been added to the original article and none are likely to be. WP:COMMONSENSE and WP:CONTEXTMATTERS indicates that rules of NS, events on NS, announcements by the site owner, etc., are best sourced from NS itself. WP:3PARTY will almost never exist. What are your thoughts? Assuming I wish to follow-up, I assume reversing the edit deleting the Possible Abuse section would be bad form. Should I seek WP:DR and, if so, how? Thank you in advance for your time and any assistance. --Po-tee-weet (talk) 01:29, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Well, many people would probably consider me a hardliner on these issues. You'd probably find a more sympathetic ear from an inclusionist. You're right that not every element of an article needs to be sourced from third party, reliable sources, but the vast majority of content generally should. It not only gives us an idea of how much coverage we should give individual elements but also gives us the proper perspective. If independent, reliable sources – and forum posts are not reliable sources – do not cover a controversy, then we don't, either. Remember, just because something is true doesn't mean that it's automatically included in an article. Wikipedia really isn't the place to air grievances or call attention to wrong-doing; that's what blogs are for. Dispute resolution is generally the way to go, but I don't think you're going to find much help there; this is pretty much a textbook example of a non-notable controversy. I'll comment further on the article's talk page, and maybe we can get this article in better shape. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Barbarella

Who's "edit waring"? Not I. Simply following well established Wikipedia policy regarding "trivia", which the section in question clearly resembles. Quite frankly, it should be removed. Calling a section something it is not simply to allow its continued - dubious - presence is disingenuous (a polite was of saying dishonest). And since when does questionable "consensus" on a Talk Page that is contrary to well established Wikipedia policy trump well established Wikipedia policy? Thanks for your interest Taco Viva (talk) 01:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

It's likely to be removed, as there's a developing consensus on the talk page to remove it. It would be helpful if you added your opinion to the talk page so that a clearer consensus could be established. If you choose not to do so, that's fine, but repeatedly reverting the edits of other users will not make the trivia section disappear any faster. It will only attract the attention of administrators.

Richie Rich's page.

Hello NinjaRobotPirate, what's good. I saw you made a lot of edits in Richie's page, apart from that, I haven't published anything by myself on any site. I just had to complete Richie's credits on some songs (confirmed) and fill all these empty information. And please explain me what Richie's page has to do with advertisements and deletion nomination. Richie isn't published on any newspaper or magazine nowadays, but his former music group "LA Dream Team" is published in a .pdf file. Thank you. I'd like to get help from you so I can keep Richie's legacy, he means so much to me.

Hi there! You've done good work on that article, but it has a few issues that need to be resolved. The first one is that it's a bit too promotional. Wikipedia strives to maintain a neutral point of view, where subjects are described factually and without personal opinion. Basically, what this means is that we take what professional journalists and other reliable sources say, rework it into an admittedly bland style of writing, and tell readers where we found the information. You've already mastered some of that already.

The line about "70,000 screaming fans" is a bit over-the-top, and it unduly promotes the subject. A better way to say it might be "He performed in front of crowds that numbered up to 70,000." That's just as impressive and true, but it omits the promotional language. I'd try to avoid overuse of adverbs, adjectives, and other modifiers, as they can make the article look like a fan site. Statements of fact should generally be followed by citations to reliable sources, such as professional journalists. It can be frustrating to dig up citations for stuff we know to be true, but people would not trust Wikipedia without these citations.

Speaking of which, the citations should not be to user-generated content, because we can't trust what's found on those sites. The IMDb, for example, is a useful resource, but it is not reliable enough to use as a source in a biography. The deletion discussion will last a week, though it can be extended at the discretion of the administrators. Editors will debate whether the article follows our guidelines. The most relevant guideline is WP:MUSICBIO, which generally requires reliable sources. However, you might be able to make an argument based on his early innovations to hip hop. The best thing you can do right now is to locate articles on Richie Rich located in the archives of music magazines. I hope this helps. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:02, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Re: Richie Rich's page

AYo Ninja, what's good. Thanks for reaching out to me, I understand the problem for the reliable sources. As for the advertisements, feel free to remove anything that not decent and that's related to be considered as a advertisement. Richie may be not featured on any magazine or any newspaper yet, but he is featured with LA Dream Team through historical photos and old magazines in a .pdf files from the Westcoastpioneers.com page. I appreciate your help, I want to keep his legacy, he's an Hiphop icon to me, you know.

Third-party sources: Joe Serious CD, Album (the frontback cover is small, but he is listed in, I can't find anything apart from that) Snake Puppy of LA Dream Team personal myspace

Note that I am contacting actually the members, I can get you through magazines of 80's and 90's.

Hey, that sounds great. If you can find magazine coverage on him, the Wikipedia article will definitely be saved. Two other potential source are the Google News Archive and Google Books. I didn't see anything when I searched, but maybe you can find information that I missed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

About Richie Rich's page

Hello NinjaRobotPirate, what's good fam. Recently I updated Richie's page and his production discography (I talked with him personally and that's not the complete discography yet), please, help me to remove these warning signs. I'd appreciate that, you can Richie's notability with other rappers by typing "The Real Richie Rich of LA Dream Team". I did a search to match Richie's magazine coverage, but I couldn't find anything else on Google other than L.A. Dream Teams sources. Richie may start to take interviews and getting up on reliable sources soon. Check this video on Youtube with Richie and Hip Hop legend DJ Quik together in the studio, he is notable. Thank you very much.

>:(

Hi, this is the guy who created the The Possessed article. Did I ever give you permission to finish the page for me?! Don't get me wrong, thank you. But I was the one who wanted to add the cast and stuff. I should've said not to edit it.... I have tried to create millions of wiki articles but all of them have gotten rejected. And also, I wanted to be the one to add the other stuff. I will delete the stuff that you edited and the n redo it so I could feel better :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.196.59.32 (talk) 17:22, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

@Asdified: Uh, no you won't. If you erase everything that I added, would be vandalism. If you don't want people to edit articles you create, then make a blog. This is a collaborative wiki. I assume this is a message from User:Asdified, who created the article. Please remember to sign your posts, and, preferably, stay logged in when leaving messages. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

what?

Are you spying me or somethin'??? Asdified (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

@Asdified: In a way. In your previous message, you indicated that you might blank a page. As a result of that, I have kept an eye on your contributions. You later blanked a separate article, and I reverted that. I'm not going to follow you around revert your edits, if that's what you're worried about. But I probably will keep an eye out for any further page blanking. In the future, please use the "add a new section" link at the top of the page. Manually adding new comments to the middle of the page makes it difficult to locate them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:53, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, why you do stub from this article and delete text from it? Now in this article almost none informations. Your last edit i seems that unconstructive.--Včelka Mája 2 (talk) 17:55, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

It was incomprehensible and full of original research. And you're a sock puppet. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:59, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
