Musical infoboxes

Hi Acalamari, quick question, does the Template:Infobox musical artist now move towards the {{flatlist}} style of formatting? Chihciboy (talk)

Hi Chihciboy, this one is confusing me, too: I thought the template was moving towards that style of formatting but there seems to be one group of users who switch infoboxes to flatlist and another who change it back. Not sure about this one. :/ Acalamari (from Bellatrix Kerrigan) 21:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

I was under the impression the answer was yes. {{flat list}} is being sold as an necessary accessibility change for maximum accessibility but there seems to be some resistance. I've asked if people could clarify. If the template is indeed deemed to improve accessibility then under the WP:ACCESS charter individual projects/templates like {{Infobox musical artist}} don't really have any grounds for objection on the basis that Accessibility is a part of the MoS. ( p.s. if you wish to refer to a template in a message but don't want the template to appear type {{tl|flat list}} which renders as {{flat list}} ) → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 16:30, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Lil-unique1. What about the formatting at Template:Infobox musical artist, though? That has been used (justifiably) to resist the flatlists. Acalamari (from Bellatrix Kerrigan) 14:43, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Unprotect Peanut Butter

This page was semiprotected by you in December 2011. New user Bluewombat who has expertise on this subject wants to edit it and could make valuable improvements. See the conversation on the talk page, I would stress however that Bluewombat didn't ask me to contact you. Anyway it's been a long time that it's been semiprotected so maybe it's time to open it up again, and should the vandalism resume it can be protected again. asnac (talk) 16:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Done. :) Let me know if the vandalism starts up again. Acalamari 16:53, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Gary Barlow - genre

Hi, sorry for the interrupt. Can you revert the genre for Gary Barlow page? Yids2010 was not allow other users to revert any genre. According to AllMusic, genre says pop/rock and classical but article says pop vocalist. As for soft rock is a music style and was not supported by citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.176.143 (talk) 05:58, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

It would be better if you raised this either on their talk page or the article's talk page; it would be inappropriate for me to take a side in a content dispute. Best. Acalamari 08:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Aguilera - fighter

Stop rollback. Genre confirmed by a source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.205.10.175 (talk) 12:57, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I did not use rollback to revert your edits. I won't revert you again, but I will note that the article says "'Fighter' is a pop song which incorporates elements from R&B, rock, arena rock and rock n roll." It says that it's a pop song; incorporating some elements from other genres does not automatically put the song in those other genres. Acalamari 14:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I was considering taking both of them to ANI. The articles they are edit-warring on are a mess. However, I discovered that Setenlyacc ignored my warnings about copyvio and, as I did earlier with HistoryofIran, I have blocked him indefinitely which means he is blocked until we can be sure he understands our copyvio policy and can edit it without breaking it.

Rollback rights given to Frze

Can you please explain to me your reasons for allowing Frze to rollback my warning to him to not conduct his edit-waring argument in the article The Bill on the actual article page. I told him that the correct place to do this was on the talk page. What he did defaced the article with large amounts of BOLD RED TYPE in the very first sentence of the introduction. I hasten to add that what he was arguing about was another editors changing of 'is' to 'was' a 'police procedural' TV series. I had no argument with his rationale (in fact I wholeheartedly agreed with the context ) but objected to him arguing on the actual article page. Please explain. The Dart (talk) 20:15, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

I granted Frze rollback rights because they requested them here; in my review of their request, I did not find anything to warrant denying their request, although it is possible that I could have been wrong. Could you provide diffs of any misuse of rollback or other edits you think should warrant rollback being revoked from them, please? Thanks. Acalamari 21:18, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

• No I can't, because I removed the offending text in The Bill article at the time that I warned him because it was the simplest thing to do. But I do suggest you drop by his talk page where he is right now having a similar dispute with Montanabw. It may be better all round if non-English speaking editors stuck to editing articles in their own native tongue. The Dart (talk) 21:30, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Acalamari: I noticed this --> error and fixed it by editing an old revision of this page, as edited by Nikkimaria at 05:51, 15 September 2013. That is all. User:The Dart wrote me a notice, which I didn't answer, because I have a lot to do. He is now fighting me. Why do he do this? I don't know. He is stalking/hounding me! I only fixed this Cite error: A list-defined reference named "Steen" is not used in the content. --Frze ^{> talk} 21:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

I am not stalking him. I just wondered why he was allowed to remove my warning to him when another editor such as QwertyBinary reprimanded me for removing something from my own talk page. I just thought it was a double standard, that's all.The Dart (talk) 22:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

I have to log out for the night (will be going to bed soon) and will look more into this tomorrow, if that's okay. In the meantime, I would like to clarify that, while it's not recommended, you are both free to remove messages from your respective talk pages if you so desire; neither of you should be blocked for removing messages from your talks. While I'm saying this without knowing the context, The Dart, you should not have been warned or reverted on your own talk for removing messages from it. Acalamari 22:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, now I know where I stand, I was threatened with blocking by QwertyBinary. Over and out. The Dart (talk) 22:18, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Before I go for now, the relevant link for both of you is Wikipedia:User_talk_page#User_talk_pages, which should clarify the user talk issue for you. Acalamari 22:22, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

User:The Dart wrote wrong bad things about me on my talk page as an IP: This is Vandalism. You should warn him, not me. Thanks and God Night. --Frze ^{> talk} 22:45, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

All that I wrote about Frze was related to his vandalism of The Bill article, which produced two glaringly bold errors which were highlighted in red text. I reverted his vandalism and told another editor, Montanabw, about it as she was having the same problem with him on an article, Homer Davenport, that she was making a major contribution to. It is obvious to me that he hasn't got any more than a rudimentary comprehension of English.The Dart (talk) 12:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

I did not make any vandalism, and there are no bold errors highlighted in red text. See: revision of this page, as edited by Nikkimaria and compare with the --> error by 92.20.145.188, which I fixed. Please: Show me bold red text, Mr. Dart. Homer Davenport is completely another total different problem, which should not interest you. --Frze ^{> talk} 16:46, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

To be fair, The Dart, when someone commits vandalism, their intent is to deliberately and maliciously degrade the quality of the encyclopedia; I don't think that Frze's edits constitute malicious intent. I also don't think that Frze's edits (the ones I've reviewed, anyway) to either The Bill or Homer Davenport warrant blocking them or revoking their rollback rights; that is why I asked for specific diffs, as I haven't found any edits were Frze introduced an error/red text into the The Bill article. However, Frze, after looking through some of your rollbacks, I am concerned. Could you explain to me how any of the following edits were vandalism? Some look more like good-faith accidents than vandalism and should have been reverted with a proper explanation: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In addition, while I said removing messages from your talk page is fine, using rollback to do so is a misuse of the rollback tool.

I'd also like to assure both of you, The Dart and Frze, that I have not taken anyone's side and am listening to what both of you are saying. Best. Acalamari 17:33, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

OK, I accept that what Frze did to The Bill may have been a good faith error. I can no longer actually find it in the form (red text) that I found it in before I deleted it, but he was arguing the point on the actual article page instead of the talk page. Anyway I am sure you would like to get on with life, as would I. Thanks Acalamari, goodnight.The Dart (talk) 17:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Seeing as how Dart brought this to my attention, I'll just note for the record (don't need any action at this time, just an FYI only, FWIW) that Frze commented out a source I inserted in the Homer Davenport article that WAS being used for inline footnotes, but there were typos in the formatting (I left out some quotation marks) that created the appearance of a source that was not used in the article body text. When I undid his changes, with a snippy remark, I admit, he reverted me with a lecture about proper formatting. Then I got really snippy with Frze about it because it made more work for me to clean up - and because Wehwalt and I are prepping the piece for GA, and it's lot of work, I was particularly short-fused about a drive-by edit like that and took it to Frze's talk. But he has backed down, and appears to be exhibiting good will, so as far as I am concerned, that issue is settled, but if you're wondering, that's what happened. Some of this may well be related to a language issue, but I cannot say for sure. Not a big deal at this point, though I wish he would have dropped the stick after the first revert. Montanabw^(talk) 18:03, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

@The Dart: You can't find any bold red text or syntax-errors in my edit on The Bill, because they never had been there. I fixed the -->-problem, that's all. You are right, the correct place for the argument is in the talk page, not in the text of the actual article. Cheers! (I prefer a good cold Pilsner) --Frze ^{> talk} 19:39, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

@Montanabw: We both are working to wikipedia to make it better - you as profi in your text editions, and me as little "Wiki Janitor". What I do is clearing up a lot (thousands) of petty minor ref-errors of other editors, pages with missing references list or incorrect ref-formating. I saw only Cite error: A list-defined reference named "Steen" is not used in the content, twice, as the system said to me - and you wrote the contrary, it is used. Sorry, but I believed: Who is wrong , the system or you. So I hope you can understand me now. I apologise for my angry behavior. I feel like you: I wish I would have dropped the stick after the first revert. (And not to answer User:The Dart wrong unqualified chatter on my talk page.) Wish you all the best. Thanks, good night and good luck. --Frze ^{> talk} 19:39, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

@Acalamari: Thanks for mediation of the dispute cases. You are right, I should be more carefully in my edit work and have to leave with explanation, if they seem rather like good-faith accidents than vandalism. You said removing messages from my talk page is permitted. My opinion is anyway how: manually, with the button <undo> or using rollback function - to do so is a not misuse of the rollback tool, just easier and faster. So I wish you all the best, thanks, good night and good luck. --Frze ^{> talk} 19:39, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

• Montanabw, thanks for your input; I appreciate you giving me your side of the dispute and for considering the matter settled. Frze, I accept your response and appreciate you listening to the concerns raised here; I hope that future interactions with everyone here will be positive. I do strongly advise against using rollback to remove messages from your talk page, though: I wouldn't remove anyone's rollback rights for it (another admin might, so be aware of that), but it is impolite to remove a message in that manner (unless, of course, you're reverting vandalism). The Dart, I'd just like to note your post about wanting to move on; I hope Frze's response provides you with adequate resolution. If there's anything else anyone needs, please do let me know; I hope I was helpful! :) Best. Acalamari 20:10, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Woody's Chicago Style

Hello Acalamari - Please take a look at Woody's Chicago Style, the useless link and compare with revision of this page, as edited by GoingBatty at 2 August 2012. The contributions of User:Norman1938 and his photos seem to me as strong vandalism. Please revert his edits and warn or block him. BW --Frze ^{> talk} 08:28, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Hmm...I thought it was vandalism at first but in the picture File:Roof_of_Office.jpg "Woody's Hot Dogs" is on a sign on the building. There was an excess of images in the article before you removed them all, but that's doesn't mean the user was intentionally trying to degrade the quality of the page. It would be worth posting to Norman1938's talk page to ask them about all the images. Acalamari 14:36, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Greetings

Hello Acalamari. I am curious about your recent log action at wp:uaa. I suspect the "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" removed from the summary closely resembles the offensive material inside the {{user-uaa|1=Offensive name}} template which remains in the history? This preview as well. If so; perhaps your mop will prove itself handy. Cheers.—John Cline (talk) 15:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi John Cline! It looks as though DragonflySixtyseven dealt with this. :) You're right: the edits themselves should have been hidden, too, but my priority was to hide the edit summary, as that ugliness was more prominent on the surface. Best. Acalamari 22:02, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Rollback right

Would you please provide me with rollback right so that i can revert vandalism easily. I have applied for the right in Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback. But no one responding to my request.

Hi Ctg4Rahat, while I agree that that particular edit was indeed vandalism, I found very few instances of vandal-fighting in your recent edits. Could you provide me with some diffs, please? Thanks. Acalamari 17:36, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Rahat | Message 18:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. You have listed some good vandalism reverts; however, there are four that I think wouldn't have been appropriate to use rollback to revert. [15][16][17][18] don't look like vandalism to me (POV-pushing, perhaps? Even that should be given a reason for removal), and are better off being reverted with a proper explanation rather than rollback. If you can assure me that you'd use rollback to revert obvious vandalism then I'd be happy to grant you the tool, but those four reverts do concern me. Acalamari 22:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I know where to use rollback (obvious vandalism like slang, nonsense word, personal comment, blanking) and where to not (POV, unexplained removal, advert). See some of my last contributions.

I have Rollback right on bn wiki. - Rahat | Message 08:12, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Help regarding Samsung Galaxy Note 3 edits by User:Ausgoth

Hi I need your help in the article Samsung Galaxy Note 3, regarding a User:Ausgoth as he does not seem to stop on insisting his edits which was reverted back due to either being redundant and/or erroneous. He was blocked before for breaching the 3RR, several warnings on his talk page was already given, yet he still insists on editing without getting the consensus of majority of the editors via the article's talk page which already results to its disruption. In line of this may we ask for your help as we need to do something about this user more than warnings already due to him not to heeding to the warnings given to him and hoping that it would be settled once and for all, Thanks! JeromesandilanicoJSD (talk) 11:32, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

I've fully protected the page and have started a discussion at Talk:Samsung Galaxy Note 3#Edit war. I could issue blocks but I think it would be wiser for those involved to discuss. Acalamari 11:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the page protection but may I warn you that User:Ausgoth does not engage in talk pages and just waits for the block or protection to expire and thus repeats all his actions again. So in case he does this all over again, what could be done? Thanks! JeromesandilanicoJSD (talk) 11:47, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with Ausgoth's overall editing patterns and decided to try to handle the dispute this way. If, as you've said, Ausgoth ignores the discussion and waits for the protection to expire, unfortunately, a block would be entirely justified - possibly an indefinite block if the behavior persists after that. Some admins would probably say that a block is already justified but I'm not usually so quick to block in cases like this. Acalamari 11:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay then i'll wait till a consensus is made regarding the article, again thanks! JeromesandilanicoJSD (talk) 12:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding. :) I've also informed Ausgoth that resuming the edit war once the protection has expired will result in a block. Acalamari 12:36, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Weymouth, Dorset

Hello Acalamari, Could I please ask for your advice on the edits over the last two days on the Weymouth, Dorset article? I have reverted edits from two IP addresses, asking them both(?) to supply reliable sources - the info could well be correct. I have also left notes on the two Talk page(s), which have been ignored and the unsourced edits have been reinstated without comment. I have no intention of starting a "edit war", but feel that the two(?) editors should, at least explain their actions. Best regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 19:42, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

You can remove the unsourced content, regardless of its authenticity; however, if you feel that the information the IP editors are adding could be correct, it might be a good idea to have a look for a source rather than remove anything. That being said, what they're adding seems fairly trivial anyway, but a search for a source couldn't hurt and if you can't verify it, remove it. It doesn't look block or protect-worthy at this time but feel free to keep me updated. Best. Acalamari 20:00, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will ask them(?) to provide a source and see what happens. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 20:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

I think it's the same person. I would advise you to have a short search for a source, as you already have asked them through warnings and it's been ignored. Acalamari 20:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Obama

Hello! I want to know why did you revert my edit [19]? There is strong evidence he practised islam as a young boy. [20]. I know he is now a Christian, so "former muslim" category is just fine. Stilgar27 (talk) 12:58, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

The first point on Talk:Barack Obama/FAQ will explain why I reverted your edit, as well as the fact that the category has to be supported by the content of the article rather than the other way around. You could try bringing this to Talk:Barack Obama but I doubt anyone would be convinced to add it. In addition, any article that disparagingly refers to President Obama as "Barry" is unlikely to be a neutral or reliable source. Acalamari 17:40, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sidnext2none!

Taking a photo of a person yourself is the surest way but it's obviously not always feasible. You could try to contact the copyright holders of the image and obtain their permission for its use here. Acalamari 08:35, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

User account link request - Apophasis contribution

Hi, I've recently made a contribution on one of the Wikipedia pages, Apophasis, for a project in my class at university. I need to access the account again, but I've stupidly lost the password and I didn't list an email in order to recover my password. I had to get a new computer so all my preferences and passwords were also lost. Since the edits I made to the page were for a school-related purpose, I need to regain access so that I may write a refection about my first experience in editing a Wikipedia page. My account is listed under a contribution to the page as Pcasilli, but there is no talk page or user page listed under the account. Is there any way my accounts can be linked or at least have the talk page or notifications forwarded to this account I created as a backup? Or would it be possible to have an email assigned to that account so that I may recover the password? Pfcasilli (talk) 15:23, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, if you no longer have the password for your original account and did not assign an e-mail to it, there is no way for you to regain control of it unless you can recall what the password is; however, it is possible to create a link between your accounts: simply turn User:Pcasilli and User talk:Pcasilli into redirects to your new account. Messages will have to be left on the talk page for your new account but at least if someone clicks on your old name they'll be re-directed to your new name. I don't think that developers can add an e-mail to an account; I think that can only be done by the account owner. I hope that helps. Acalamari 15:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Kelly Clarkson

Why did you remove information I added that Kelly is venturing into Country Music, when associated act is Reba, and he next studio album will be entirely country. This is widely known.

To explain my edit: Kelly Clarkson is primarily a pop music artist, not a country music musician. If her next album is country, that genre could be added, but adding the genre based on an album that hasn't been released yet is speculation. Reba McEntire is indeed an associated act but Jason Aldean isn't; Kelly has had multiple collaborations with Reba but only worked on one song with Jason.

User:Ausgoth Again starting his insistence on edits in Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hi I know you have protected the page before from edits to prevent users such as Ausgoth in insisting his edits. And like what I have told you, the user did not again heed in talking things out, instead he put it back in the article which might again caused to its disruption. You have told me before that if he does it again after the page protection lapses, you would do a necessary action to stop him. In regards with this may I please ask for your help regarding this user again as he is starting again a war which we do not like.

Thank you for the clarification; I'll assume the removal of the LGBT comments was an accident, with nothing more to be said about that.

User:Ausgoth Again starting his insistence on edits in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 after the longer block plus abusive remarks

Hi I know you have blocked the user before from editing to prevent Ausgoth in insisting his edits. And like what I have told you, the user did not again heed in talking things out, instead he put it back in the article which might again cause its disruption. You have told me before that if he does it again after the page protection lapses, you would do a necessary action to stop him.

Smuconlaw template editor right

Sorry about the edit conflict at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Template editor#User:Smuconlaw! I'm a bit surprised by your decision though - I can't see any evidence of protected edit requests, or any work on the sandboxes of protected templates. He did't seem to fulfill either points five or six of the granting guidelines to me. Did you find any work in this area that I missed? — Mr. Stradivarius <sup>♪ talk ♪</sup> 00:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Stradivarius, there's nothing you need to apologize for. :) As for my decision, you did not miss anything; rather, I couldn't find any problems in any of Smuconlaw's existing template work and in my review I simply could not find anything untrustworthy about Smuconlaw (their only block occurred almost three years ago). Still, if you are unsatisfied with the decision, feel free to reverse it; out of the two of us, I'd say that you have more experience in regards to this particular userright so I'll accept whatever you decide to do. :) Best. Acalamari 10:51, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't really have the heart to do that. :) I think removing the user right again would be a bit too dramatic - it's probably better to keep an eye on their edits and see if there is anything problematic with them. From my perspective, I would like users to demonstrate that they understand the etiquette and the technical ramifications of editing heavily transcluded templates, so that we can be reasonably sure that they will do a good job without having to police them. Hence I don't think it is enough for candidates just to understand parser functions and to be generally trustworthy, although that is certainly necessary. Editing highly transcluded templates requires a high level of care and testing, and an awareness of which edits require discussion before being implemented. This is quite different from working on unprotected templates, where BRD can still apply, and making mistakes doesn't cause very much disruption. That's why points five and six of the granting guidelines were added - they aren't just a general measure of trust or of coding ability, they are the most quantitative way the drafters could think to show that candidates would show the appropriate care in their editing of protected templates. Does that clear things up a little? — Mr. Stradivarius <sup>♪ talk ♪</sup> 07:38, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it does. :) I think my grantings of this particular userright have been fine until now, although I will take greater care than before; that being said, if you feel I might have made another erroneous granting, either previously or one I might make, please do let me know! Best. Acalamari 18:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

User making false claims

Acalamari,

The user IndianBio has been making false claims that I am "disrupting" or "vandalizing" the page for Lady Gaga's song "Dope". When I tried to explain my reasons, he dismissed them completely and claimed to have no idea what I was talking about. In my most recent edits to the page, I have simply rearranged some text and made other bits of text look cleaner in the editing mode. For some reason, he decides to revert it all and falsely accuse me of disrupting the page. It seems like he's just coming up with excuses to revert me, even once using "reverting idiotic removals" in an edit summary, which makes him come across as patronizing and arrogant. Quite frankly, he comes across as ungrateful for me trying to improve the page and didn't even give reasons why he felt my edits were unhelpful or anything other than "disruptive" (which is not at all true). Can you please help? He essentially refuses to listen to me or believe what I say.

XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 05:19, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi XXSNUGGUMSXX, looking at your most recent edit to "Dope", about the only problem I can see is uncensoring "f**k"; while it's true that Wikipedia isn't censored, if we're quoting from a source and the source censors a word, we usually censor it here, too. As for your other changes in that edit, I agree with a couple of rewordings you made and your fixing of the genre; with your minor formatting changes, they look fairly insignificant (what did they do? I can't tell.) and probably not worth making to begin with but I don't see that as a reason to revert them...unless I'm missing something? Your edit isn't vandalism because it appears to be a good-faith change, whereas vandalism is a deliberate bad-faith edit to degrade the quality of the encyclopedia. Pinging @IndianBio: usually I agree with you but I actually don't understand why you're reverting XXSNUGGUMSXX in this situation and I don't think the "idiotic"/"vandalism" comments were necessary. Could you explain? Thanks to you both in advance. Acalamari 14:44, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I was cleaning out this "nbsp" text thing (not sure why it would be there to begin with) and curly braces with exclamation points in the middle because those made the text in edit mode look unnecessarily messy. It also seemed unnecessary to have some sort of code for duration (d=3m|41s or something) when one can simply type the number out (sample 3:41) in a more concise, clean way. Thank you for recognizing my edit was not bad faith. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 15:33, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Acalamari for notifying me. User XXSNUGG, you have been removing formatting from a long time, not only from the above article,but from a no. of articles. I explained it to you in my talk page that "You have continuously removed non-breaking spaces and accessdate parameters from articles. See here, here and here and you were giving the reason as "rephrasing"." --exact words from my talk page. When after repeated explanation you went on and did the same thing, yes, it appeared just joke edit and vandalism to me and the rephrase part just appeared downright lie. You might have been doing good faith changes, however it became lost when you, for no reason, started deleting them and gave edit summary as "rephrasing". I do apologize for the idiotic comment (that might be out of line) but you yourself haven't helped things at all. Acalamari, regarding the censoring issue, I'm aware of the policy, and I'm not censoring anything, its just that the source provides the quote as censored with "f**k" and not "fuck". XXNUG, I believe in this case your edits are just nitpicking for nitpicking case. —Indian:BIO · <sup>[ ChitChat ]</sup> 16:21, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Those non-breaking space things only make the edit mode text look unnecessarily messy. It looks much cleaner (and is more concise) to simply use the space key instead. I used the "rephrasing" edit summary because I was also rearranging some text. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting, IndianBio, and thanks for taking back the edit summaries. I would like to state that I knew why you restored "f**k"; I just wanted to clarify to XXSNUGGUMSXX that that was the only part of their edit that I disagreed with. Like XXSNUGGUMSXX, though, I am curious about how the non-breaking space is different to using the space key; I previewed some text with and without them and saw no difference. Acalamari 16:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Acalamari, the non-breaking space tag is used between a numeral and word (you must have realized that) like 13 million. The reason being a nbsp makes the whole "13 million" clubbed together when it is at the end of a line of a page, else "13" would have been in one line and "million" would have moved to the next line. Its difficult to see the effect unless the position where you are adding it is actually at the end of a line. I hope I am clear? —Indian:BIO · <sup>[ ChitChat ]</sup> 18:35, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Still, it makes text cluttery and would be simpler to just use space key. One can simply keep reading text on following lines without hassle Besides, it's probably some outdated HTML code or something used before the space key came along. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 19:04, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you are clear and I believe you. :) The only thing is, I have to assume that my monitor doesn't show any sort of difference; I tried previewing your example, combined with what you told me, with and without the nbsp and they remained the same! :/ Fortunately, the nbsps aren't something that I've usually dealt with in the past and they'll most likely remain something I'll continue to leave alone. Acalamari 21:43, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

XXNUG, leave the goddamn formatting alone! God, now these are cases where it makes me frustrated. I explained you time and again not to touch the non-breaking space, and you went and did the same thing by removing the word "number" and replacing it with "#", changing the reception wordings to the monotonous drone of "XX from YY said..." and removing templates. In the politest way possible, can you stop being insufferable and leave the Wiki jargon? Acalamari, non-breaking space does happen and I myself have come across it in FAC reviews. —Indian:BIO · <sup>[ ChitChat ]</sup> 03:47, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant that I've left them alone whenever I've encountered them. Acalamari 18:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

There is no need to yell about it or call users "insufferable". Those things are basically pointless and messy compared to the convenience of the space key, not sure why they'd be used when outdated. Quite frankly, your insistence on having them and fussing over them being removed is irrational. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 04:42, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Abusive behavior of User_Talk:KLWhitehead aka Ken on Talk:Samsung Galaxy Note series#Note 10.1 Sections

Hi Acalamari! Thanks again for all the help, though this time I have another problem and I hope that you would help me as User_Talk:KLWhitehead aka Ken is pushing for the merger of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition in a talk page which is alright but the problem is 1) he insists on opening up the same topic on all talk pages of the articles concerned despite the rule on doing it on one talk page only so that to avoid confusion, and 2) is that there is his remark on my reprimand on his again opening up of the same topic on Talk:Samsung Galaxy Note series#Note 10.1 section and I quote "feeling a bit touchy, Jerome?" Which i think is already a personal attack and foul. Hope you could help me again on this one and that proper warnings and/or sanctions may be given to the user. Thanks! JeromesandilanicoJSD (talk) 02:41, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

His comment is not sanctionable; it's not a particularly nice comment but it's not something a user would be blocked or even warned over. That being said, I have left a note on the talk page saying that his comment wasn't necessary and that it's best to keep discussion in one place. Acalamari 09:53, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Tom Daley protection

Hi Acalamari,

I saw your protection on Tom Daley yesterday. A whole year of semi-protection? That seems rather excessive. There'll probably be vandalism about his sexuality for a month or two tops. I think short term semi-protection followed by pending changes seems like a better course of action than a year of semi-protection to balance protection of a BLP subject while balancing the ability for people to edit. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:18, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tom Morris, I based that protection time on my past experience with situations such as this; usually, heavy and BLP-violating vandalism continues for months on end...something that, in this case, would be exacerbated by Tom Daley's high-profile status. I also factored in the first revdel you did on the page, which was the one you performed before I protected it. Still, I don't own the protection; if you or another admin wishes to switch back to pending changes before the expiry date, feel free to do so without any further input from me. :) Acalamari 15:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I checked the history of the page and noticed that it has been semi-protected because of this issue, see [24] and [25]. This change should be discussed on the talk page. Acalamari 17:58, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Bonnie McKee

Bonnie McKee was not nominated for a Grammy for Firework. "Record of the Year" does not acknowledge songwriters (She even tweeted a few days ago that the nomination for 'Roar' is her first nomination). Please stop editing her page as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.137.3.185 (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

I only reverted that particular edit once and that was because you didn't give any explanation for its removal; now that you have given one, I won't put revert again. However, your addition of "Grammy-award winning" to the lead sentence is unproductive, as the inclusion of awards in the lead sentence immediately puts a positive spin on the article, which is non-neutral and unencyclopedic. Please stop re-adding this. Thank you. Acalamari 22:44, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey Acalamari, would you mind removing this picture? [26] my friend feels like she is being harassed. Thank you! Jens1545 (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

The image is certainly unencyclopedic and could be considered inappropriate. Given that, combined with the low quality, I've deleted it in accordance with WP:BLP. Image is most likely insufficiently licensed, anyway. Acalamari 09:16, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks so much, I appreciate it :) Lady Lotus • talk 22:40, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome! :) I was wondering, would you be interested in having rollback rights as well? I think you'd benefit from having them. Acalamari 23:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure! :) I'd love that, thank you! Lady Lotus • talk 02:38, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Done! :) Acalamari 09:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

You're awesome, thanks again! Lady Lotus • talk 12:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, that's very kind, thank you. :) You're welcome, have fun! Acalamari 12:37, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Help me

Can you undo User:Andrzejbanas back with techno from infobox for Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song)? I can't undo because User:Tomica is watching. Link's here with full article, which says the song is all over the techno. I'll see your contributions later after you're doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.176.68 (talk) 15:25, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi 183.171.176.68, if other editors are reverting you, you need to discuss your changes on Talk:Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song) rather than engage in a revert war. My edits do not hold any more authority than Andrzejbanas' or Tomica's: if I were to re-insert your edits (which I'm not going to do, because that would mean I'd be taking a side in adispute), I would be reverted as well. Using the talk page is the proper course of action. Best. Acalamari 15:37, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry

The external links and full header titles at Book:Taylor Swift... Sorry... Nahnah4 (talk) 11:07, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nahnah4, there is absolutely no need to apologize. :) You did nothing wrong and it's okay if you didn't know. I put the link in my edit summary so you'd know in the future. Best. Acalamari 11:10, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Nahnah4 (talk) 11:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Your email

Hi Acalamari, and thanks for the email! It's funny what we can learn from the news. I just read your user page for the first time as well. At first I always got your username confused with Alacamari, but now it makes more sense. :) I also enjoyed the list of spoofs of your username - some of those are hilarious. (Must have been a pain to deal with them, though.) Feel free to email me other interesting bits and pieces if you want! Best — Mr. Stradivarius <sup>♪ talk ♪</sup> 11:16, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Stradivarius, you're welcome! :) I agree, and it's even funnier when I read the news and a particular article reminds me of a fellow Wikipedian! Quite a pleasant surprise with some learning added in.

Ah yes, "Alacamari"; that's one of my favorite misspellings of my username. I'm also quite fond of "Acalmari", "Aclimary" and "Aclamai". As for my spoofs...heh heh, it was somewhat of a pain but at the end of the day, I can only been flattered that some people thought I was worth spoofing!

Sure, if I find anything more. :) By the way, if you wondered why I e-mailed rather than posted on your talk page, it was only because I wasn't sure if you wanted something mostly unrelated to Wikipedia on your talk. :D Acalamari 11:43, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
