About Mascot 2018 Asian Games

Information icon Hello, I'm Andreas Evando P. I just knew that you reverted one of my recent contributions —the one I made with this edit to 2018 Asian Games— I'm telling you it's not fake. It's Official! Ika is now changed to Kaka. You can see it in their offical website. So please, you reverted my edit back. Thanks.

To space or not to space

An editor has proposed contradictory page moves on several Sirius/XM channels, trying to get the space between Sirius and XM removed from some channels where a space is present in the title and simultaneously trying to get a space added between Sirius and XM on some channels where it isn't. There is a consistency issue that needs to be addressed one way or the other about whether there should be a space or not, so I've initiated a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations — would you be willing to come weigh in one way or the other? Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 18:28, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of XFL (2020)

The article XFL (2020) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No need for a new page...just add info to the existing XFL article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Office 365

Hi ViperSnake151, could you please explain why you reverted my edit? I wasn't sure my edit was okay, but I'd like a more elaborate explanation why it was not. You're only comment was 'unneeded'. I was searching on Wikipedia for c2r and couldn't find it, so I thought it was a usefull addition. Laurier (talk) 08:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ViperSnake151, thank you for your quick response. You replied with "It is unnecessary, and I have not seen anyone refer to it like this. Random article text is not the place to introduce abbreviations for terms only used once at all.". I see that Microsoft uses the term C2R, and I've seen it used by IT-professionals as well. For example:
so, would you please reconsider? Laurier (talk) 21:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image NFCC?

You removed an image of a Dead South album cover, and I am curious as to what specific provision of NFCC it violates. Until th ematter is resolved (either here or in article discussion), I will be reinstating it. Thanks. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 22:27, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(ported from my talk page, where is not where this discussion began):
The burden is on the editor to prove whether an image passes all non-free content criteria.
The cover art of a band's album is being used to identify the band itself. NFCC #8 requires non-free media to "significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic". General consensus indicates that the covers of works can only be used under NFCC #8 on an article for the work (as primary means of identification), unless the non-free item itself is the subject of critical commentary in the article text. Hence, in this case, the album cover can only be used on an article about that album (to identify the article subject), or alongside commentary of the album cover itself (not the album, but the actual cover); here, it is instead being used to primarily identify the band. Typically, a freely-licensed image of the act itself is used on the infobox for musicians.
Due to this, your fair use rationale is also invalid, because it states that it us "to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question". WP:NFC#UUI mentions discographies but this is a similar case. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ViperSnake151, how about you put that into layman's English? Is it your argument that using a picture of one of their albums is insufficient, when a free image is not only unavailable, but likely heavily preotected as well?
I'm just trying to understand your reasoning here. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 08:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, edit-warring is the answer? Dude, you've reverted three times, and your excuse for doing so falls pretty flat, especially when the person on the other side of the discussion is asking you repeatedly for discussion. Maybe you are unaware of how collaborative efiting works. You don't fail to discuss or - even worse - add your two cents to the discussion and then revert yet again without awaiting input. You did yourself few favors in the area of AGF. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Missed call

The article Missed call you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Missed call for things which need to be addressed.

Liar Liar GE2017

See Talk:Liar Liar GE2017 for my reasons for reverting your revert on the section on censorship. I've detailed my NPOV concerns there. schetm (talk) 06:50, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deltionism

I understand that you have everyone's best interests at heart, but I feel your revert of the images I've been adding to Super Bowl LII detracts from the quality of the article. People who read an article about the Super Bowl want to see images of the game and what happens around the game.

Removal of these images is one of the reasons that I left Wikipedia in 2005. I came back to see if things had changed, but I've been disappointed. I hope that you will reconsider and revert your edit.Quintin3265 (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
