Stadium Sources

The cynopsis.com article published August 21st states "launching today on its 24/7 digital linear feed".

The cablefax.com article includes an interview with Stadium's CEO. The article clearly states "the channel will be available to sports fans for free on TV in 59 markets via digital subchannels"

I would think those count as sources. I did also check the WatchStadium.com, Twitter Live Stream and PlutoTV steam on the 21st and verified that their feed had changed significantly from the day before. I know that doesn't count as a valid source. But it gives me confidence in the cynopsis.com article. --Petervcook (talk) 00:28, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation

The sentemce "The Section 230 safe harbor was established in 1996, making the providers of "interactive computer services" immune from liability under civil laws for the actions of their users if they publish objectionable content (such as defamatory and obscene content)." contained two wikilinks that led to disambiguation pages.

Entertainment Software Rating Board

Thanks for the revert. I'll admit, I was rather uneasy about making that edit to begin with, because common sense would suggest that arcade ratings work a little different from retail ratings, but the good thing about Wikipedia is that in theory at least there are always other editors ready to catch mistakes like that.

KROQ

Thank you for cleaning up the main description for the page. I was reading just this morning and noticed how inaccurate the description was for the playlist format. Someone obviously had an ax to grind with the station the way it was worded before. It had an angle that was overtly negative as well as being inaccurate. I looked at their playlist from this morning from midnight to 5am just to see what the numbers were. Nearly 50% were new songs from the last 6 months. So not sure why someone had written the station mostly plays recurrent songs from the 1990's and 2000's. In that 5-hour span, I counted 75 songs: 33 currents (44%), 9 from the 2010's (12%), 21 from the 2000's (28%) and 12 from the 1990's (16%). DarthBrett78 (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

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.

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)

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.

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)

(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)

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)

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)

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 to see that over an hour of work has been wasted. I hope that you will reconsider and revert your edit.Quintin3265 (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Edit summary length?

Hey, I was curious about his as well, so I checked the page history of Help:Edit summaries and noticed that you were the one who changed the text of the page to reflect the change. I figured whoever implemented the change to the help page probably had something to do with whatever discussion had taken place, so I checked your contribs, but found that you seemed to be just as confused as I was; have you found any more on it?

On a loosely related note, if you haven't found evidence that this is a deliberate and long-term change, I think your rewording of the help page may have been premature.

I've seen shit like this happen before and it wound up being only a bug or a temporary "test" change. Apparently when echo was first implemented in 2013 editors were automatically pinged when you opened an SPI on them (an AFD I opened in August of that year, having been absent at the time pinging first became a thing because I was hounded off the project by the banned editor JoshuSasori ... sorry, long story), but by December 2017 (when I opened an SPI per the guidelines at WP:MEAT despite not actually agreeing that SPIs are the best way of dealing with that) the other editor was apparently offended because I hadn't notified them) this was no longer the case.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 22:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Category C services

I haven't edited any of this myself yet, in case I'm missing something, but I'm wondering why you think this group wasn't folded into discretionary services with the others. From my reading of the relevant CRTC pages, it seems quite clear that it was, but the pre-existing news vs. sports distinction appears to have been kept (which may have been what you were thinking of). Modernponderer (talk) 00:14, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

I saw your response on my talk page, but I don't really understand it. Do you mean clarity for Wikipedia readers? Because we shouldn't be providing inaccurate information no matter what, and a reliable source clearly contradicts the current info from what I read... Modernponderer (talk) 01:15, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Here are the main CRTC pages I was referring to:

1. The original decision at https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2015/2015-86.htm states: Discretionary services (all pay and specialty services, including those services, other than conventional television stations, granted mandatory distribution on the basic service pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Act)
2. The general list of TV service types at https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/television/services/types.htm specifically mentions the following under discretionary services: National news services and mainstream sports services. While licensed as discretionary services, these have additional conditions associated with their licences that are unique to these services and do not apply to other discretionary services.
3. The full list of existing services at https://applications.crtc.gc.ca/radio-tv-cable/eng/broadcasting-services-List includes the subtypes "Discretionary Service (Mainstream Sports)" and "Discretionary Service (National News)". It should be pointed out that all of the old A, B, C categories are still available but they no longer contain the channels that have had a licence renewal since the original decision, and Category C in particular only has two channels left in it.

If they're not running HD then the "HD radio" template should be removed from the disinfobox "Frequency" parameter. Jeh (talk) 01:39, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act

Hey Viper. I read through the wiki for the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act and was floored by your work on it. 65% of the page?! Massive. My friend and I are trying to help US voters form opinions on bills, vote on them, track their representation, and influence their elected officials. The bill summaries we're collecting from the Library of Congress are not easy to read or helpful for the average American. For instance, here's what we pulled from the LoC for a summary of the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017 on our site. Our goal with these summaries is to help an average American form an unbiased opinion on a piece of legislation in 3-10 minutes of reading. Would you have any interest in helping us simplify these summaries for American voters? Vf-lee (talk) 22:49, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Radio station branding and slogan formatting

Yes, there is an established standard: WP:MOS . :)

I see you've responded to the thread at the template talk page, in which I ref'd the recommendation for the lede sentence at WP:WPRS, which rec's just quoting the branding.

For all of the twiddling that's done to radio station articles there is remarkably little interest in discussion at either WP:WPRS or the template talk page. I've frankly reached the point of "since nobody else really cares, I don't either". Perhaps your response at the template talk page will draw in a few more. Jeh (talk) 21:42, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Privacy by Design - you re-introduced false information

You asked "Are you basically trying to say that anything that merely involves xx"?

No - and that is not what I have been doing. I tried to maintain and respect those contributions (also by name of the main DPA contributers) while putting them in context, but you deleted that attempt. See for ourself. Since you wouldn't undo your deletions despite my repeated suggestions, I merely removed the non-contributing start-paragraph that was only aiming at personal PR at the expense of obfuscating terminology. As you can see, reference 3 is still there even though it is just one persons opinionSjewiki22 (talk) 23:37, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

I notice you introduced a precaution about potential conflict of interest. Great I welcome this - that was about time as that problem has been there from the very start (e.g. reference 3 above). Interests in being able to claim "Privacy by Design" for structures where Citizen do NOT have control over are enormous and thereby in contradiction with the very purpose of the principle (If the term is reduced to someones marketing-term, it should not be on Wikipedia at all). It is now raised to the very foundational principle of e.g. European Humans Rights Convention on data processing so this term is critical to get right.

Privacy is a very complex issue as it has so many aspects and dimensions that appear contradictory. The root principle is therefore to avoid creating the threat to privacy in the first place (i.e. avoid identification that transfer control) whereby "data protection" regulation have no critical function as this involves data-transactions and systems with "identified or identifiable" citizens. Sjewiki22 (talk) 08:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi ViperSnake151, I have proposed a rewrite of Privacy by Design since Sjewiki22 seems to have an agenda around Privacy Enhancing Technologies and a rejection of the term of Privacy by Design and it use by the Data Protection community and its associate legislation. I will let you know as an interested party as soon as I have a draft so that you can comment. RonaldDuncan (talk) 16:33, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Lets be absolutely clear here. I am part of the professional community and have over the years seen how people with interest in using personal data for profit or power have constantly been working to erode the principles - among other ways to claim "Privacy by Design" when they are clearly not. I welcome improvements to the description of a complex topic and in general the creation of a sort of categorization moving from mere data protection compliance (with claimed consent and policy-based etc.) to actual Privacy by Design (i.e. not "identified or identifiable") in logical steps but the term should not be subject to commercial interests rewrite or personal agendas (neither Cavoukian, RonaldDuncan/CloudBuy, me or anyone else)Sjewiki22 (talk) 07:09, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Lausanne 2020.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:12, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Mass removal of content on Family Channel (Canadian TV network)

You cannot just remove 10K worth of content from an article without so much as an edit summary! Please justify your action. Modernponderer (talk) 00:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

It was not entirely unsourced – I count multiple sources in the programming blocks section. Nor was it trivia, which has a specific definition as a "list of miscellaneous information".

Just about every other Canadian channel article has info on the programming blocks (if they ever existed). If sources cannot be found for any specific blocks, it should certainly be trimmed, but deleting it outright is ridiculous. Modernponderer (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect. Disney has announced Star Wars content for the Streaming Service, not Lucasfilm content.

I think you are trying to frighten young Wikipedia readers by having an inappropriate username. Snakes can frighten young people. Change your username now or you can get banned for that username. MetricSupporter89 (talk) 22:18, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect. A viper is also a type of automobile (I have kind of been an automotive aficionado, and this is also the kind of "cool dude username" that was common on internet things when I originally joined over 10 years ago). Plus, you've been called out on the political basis of your editing on multiple occasions. It's now veering on intentional disruption. In addition, the username policy does not specifically mention "frighten[ing] young people"; this username is benign in comparison to what the policy is actually meant to target.

AOL Search

Hello. I'd like to comment about the differentiation between AOL Search and Yahoo! Search. It's true that today they have the same frontend, run by Oath, but each engine have their own histories. Yahoo was launched as an independent engine in 2004 (was a directory before that), then got powered by Bing etc., long before it got bought by Verizon. Similarly, AOL bought WebCrawler in 1995 then sold it and created their own branded one called NetFind based on the Excite engine. See this site explaining its history: https://searchengineland.com/history-of-aol-search-11634.

My point is, historically speaking they were different engines for a long time before becoming part of Oath. The Yahoo! Search article has information about the Yahoo part of the pre-Oath story, but with AOL Search now redirecting to that, there is no place for information about AOL's pre-Oath search engine era. That's why I believe AOL Search needs its own article. --Tim42 (talk) 22:00, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
