For future reference

Disruptive new accounts with garbled names referring to Bonadea and/or randomly reverting Bonadea's edits are with near-100% certainly socks of the banned user Nsmutte. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 03:56, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AddWittyNameHere: Noted. Thanks. Optakeover(Talk) 04:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. Just saw you reverting them and figured I might as well let you know, because you probably will run into them again. They're sadly rather persistent. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 04:02, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AddWittyNameHere: I'm slightly busy now, so I'd be happy if you have added this name to the SPI, if you haven't done already. Also, please do link me the SPI link. Thank you so much. Optakeover(Talk) 04:04, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Had filed the SPI shortly before you got around to reporting them at AIV. SPI's backlogged even worse than AIV, though. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nsmutte. Again, no problem. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 04:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting Facts - Passau

The organ in St. Stephens cathedral has 17,776 pipes not 17,774. Stop changing my edit back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.250.218.148 (talk) 06:49, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@116.250.218.148: Nopeeee. It's 17,774 as shown at [1]. Please do not make disruptive edits, like you have done at [2]. Making such edits will result in you getting blocked from editing. Optakeover(Talk) 06:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding List of most expensive Indian films

According to the talk page of "List of highest-grossing Indian films", most of the Indian film lists are restricted to 20. Otherwise, the list will keep on increasing with the release of new films that are released every year in the numerous number of Indian languages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.49.83.82 (talk) 04:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@27.49.83.82: Understood. Thank you. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 05:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Devenear De'sha Curtis

Hello Optakeover. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Devenear De'sha Curtis, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a draft page - the "A" speedy criteria only apply to articles. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 18:25, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Pearce

Can you please add all the information you have removed as I am currently getting the references now. The Reg Gutteridge quotes were directly from The fight footage from the BBC Archives. And the Steve sims quote is directly from himself via interview. The Bartley Gorman story is backed up in his own autobiography and I can provide a reference.

Thank you.

Hi, thank you for your message. I have created David Pearce (boxer)/Sandbox containing the stuff I removed. Please read WP:BLP and WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:SOURCES to understand that all content on all articles on living persons on Wikipedia must be backed up with proper sources. As the page has been semi-protected, you will have to create an account before editing David Pearce (boxer). Regards, Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 11:51, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have tagged the sandbox page for deletion. Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Pearce_(boxer)&oldid=716559264 for the edits. Please create your own sandbox to do your edits. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 13:24, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I knew how to edit via the old way.

I do not know how to edit in the format it is?

Why is the the professional heading being deleted all that information is via Box-rec/Boxnation and www.Johnnyowen.co.uk?

I can put references if you take the protection so I know what I am doing.

Also can you clear up this living person matter?

David is dead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FinnRiver180 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to add the quotes with references and I am being told it's not the correct page.

This page is important to Newport and the deceased boxer in question and after 16 years of collecting for the library and gaining video footage and in talks for a city memorial in memory of David.

This is slowing and stopping all the good work people have done, there was nothing on that page that couldn't be put to a book or a record or a DVD.

Can you please help as I understand you needed references and I am willing to oblige but at the moment this situation is very upsetting.

Kind Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by FinnRiver180 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FinnRiver180: Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, we have specific policies to ensure that the content that we place here is of the highest quality. Please read WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:SOURCES for more information. I mistakenly thought that the person was alive, but it appears I was wrong on that. My apologies. Articles of living people are ruled even more strictly when it comes to content. The general rule on Wikipedia is, if it cannot be found in sources both online and offline in print, it cannot be on Wikipedia because it cannot be verified. All the best, Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 22:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

where is this a bad edit

isn't more information the point? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.191.44 (talk) 23:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Perhaps this is a comprehension problem. Let's take the relevant bits in pieces. They (as in Beavis and Butt-Head, the fictional characcters the paragraph is about) later view the actual Breaking the Law video in the third season episode "Scared Straight". During the viewing they are distressed by Rob Halford's clothing and decide that, even though they still like Judas Priest as a band, the song sucks.. I mean, you can argue with Mike Judge's if you like, but I that being the characters opinion since 1993 still stands. I'm putting it back. It's about the show. The paragraph was already about the show. I expanded it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.191.44 (talk) 23:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

9 songs

@Purple Showers: Okay, apparently, you win on that one. Sorry to delete your comment, I don't like that kind of stuff :P Sorry for the mistake and thanks for your message. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 23:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

Hey, I'm really sorry, I know my edit may not have seemed as factually productive as what is usually expected from a database as acclaimed as this one. I totally understand why my contribution was reverted. I take no offense. Just know that it was legitimate and I wouldn't lie. Thanks for keeping this brilliant website in-shape and up to date. I'm a real fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:36F8:A40:7575:DF21:8508:CE4F (talk) 03:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox

I posted that protection request before the admins did some technical measure to block the vandal from posting inappopriate images. Also since the page has been protected in the past I thought that it would stop the person from wasting editors' time. Feinoha Talk 03:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Feinoha: Ah, now I get it. Thank you for telling me. I think it was due to very severe abuse. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 03:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Pearce

As it was your mistake regarding the person in question was alive can you re - add everything and take off the protection please.

This is so I can foot note and verify the quotes. And reference the subject headings.

Thank you.

Regarding your link fir the fight footage there is already fight footage on www.Johnnyowen.com.

This situation could all be sorted in one edit if I am allowed to do it.

The Bartley Gorman reference is the book "King of the Gypsies" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.119.66.145 (talk) 09:54, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Pearce Family heading can be verified via Boxrec - and Boxing news. As per the fighters records and description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.119.65.171 (talk) 10:06, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Shehab Younis

Looks like the coi edits are back on Shehab Younis, and it looks like he might have a SPI also looking over it. Wgolf (talk) 21:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Just wondering if this was you or an impersonator. Thanks. GABHello! 14:54, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GeneralizationsAreBad: Hi GAB. I can confirm that it a sock account created by me as per WP:VALIDALT for testing purposes. . Do I need to confirm my committed identity? I am currently trying to find a template to paste onto the sock userpage as per the same policy. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 14:56, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gerry Fisher

Okay.

I was merely trying to add an infobox to Gerry Fisher.

I had no idea that this would get me a warning.

So, I was trying to undo the infobox I had created.

But no matter what I did, I couldn't put away the infobox.

It just kept coming back up.

So, I hope it's not to much to ask if you could help me.

I was not intentionally trying to do anything wrong.

So, I will leave Gerry fisher alone.

Why is there not a view source thing instead of editing it? That way it would be safe.

How is an infobox vandalism.

I would really appreciate it if you don't block me and lend me some help.

Please?
