Warning regarding legal threats

Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that this is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. ([1]) MastCell ^Talk 23:36, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Already clarified that my use of those words in the English language which do not explicitly mean legal threats in the first place, were not used in the context of legal threat--0pen$0urce (talk) 12:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. For future reference, you may be interested in reading our policy on the subject: "It is important to refrain from making comments that others may reasonably understand as legal threats, even if the comments are not intended in that fashion. For example, if you repeatedly assert that another editor's comments are 'defamatory' or 'libelous', that editor might interpret this as a threat to sue for defamation, even if this is not intended. To avoid this frequent misunderstanding, use less charged wording." MastCell ^Talk 03:31, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article Avery mathews has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Avery Matthews

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Avery Matthews requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Salih (talk) 16:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Silversurfer_50.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Silversurfer_50.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Re: Action Comics 1

I seriously couldn't care less about the "competition" between DC and Marvel... I'm a member of The Barn, if anything. The main reason I reverted your addition it was because you did not provided any source to it. The second main reason was that the article is not adressing which issue of what had the highest bid, but which were given the biggest value for a issue in given condition. Feel free to add information on auctions, but don't try to make thinks look better for one publisher or the other.

License tagging for File:Stonecold.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Stonecold.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:06, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Reviewing Bahrain

Hello, I'm asking because it's been two weeks since you listed yourself as reviewer. Are you busy currently or unable to make the review? Mohamed CJ (talk) 22:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

It is in Progress, took a brief hiatus. I haven't found any issues thus far and will likely recommend it for good article 0pen$0urce (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC).

Okay :) Mohamed CJ (talk) 03:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Patience is a virtue, so I am out, besides an admin deleted my review page. 21:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

YES, Patience is the issue. I made a volunteer offer to review the page for good article, 27 days is not 2 months in fact it is less than 1/2. Prodding, goading, and harassing a volunteer is not an effective tactic, yes this is now hinging on such. A talk article has very little relevance.

Monsters HD discussion

Hi - I see your notes but I am a little confused on your subjective words (eg: "obscure" & "relevant") related to "issues" and how Wikipedia works. I am new to Wiki and am trying my best to understand your notations and how I might improve the article. The articles cited seem to back up the facts related to the relevance of the network, and the films that were mastered to high definition ... many of which are not yet available on Blu Ray or TV. Can you clarify as what you consider relevant ? Isn't that subjective? I did not start the list of programming but believe it is relevant for one who might be interested in seeing these films someday. I thought Wiki edits were to be without opinion. In addition, how many references do you recommend? I would love to make it more to your liking but I am not sure what you are suggesting . I do hope others will contribute to the article and to the list of programming. I sure would love to see some of these films on Blu Ray some day. Thanks for any suggestions you can giveLONGEDDY (talk) 04:02, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Spouting things like subjective comes off the wrong way. I would take a moment and read the 5 pillars I placed on your talk page. Nothing wrong with jumping in. It's not about quantity of references but quality. Anything encyclopedic has to be supported by secondary sources.--0pen$0urce (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Question Relating to the eliminaton of additional information and secondary sources/citations and references that were requested

Hi - I have read the five pillars and totally understand and agree with quality vs quantity. I did not create the article. Just added to it since I believe you requested additional information and notable/relevant references as a way to improve the article ... while asking for the article to be deleted. I thought that the way to improve the article was to provide additional, quality information that supports the articles subject. I agree that it was necessary to improve the content of the article to reflect notability. However, I think there is a real difference on what is being described as notable and quality references. Here are my basic questons that I would ask for some clarification/concensus on. Again, this relates to your objections to the factual additions & citations that were referenced noted from quality reliable sources. 1) the eliminaton of the networks slogan and the fact that it has been noted in various articles and citations that reference the network. It's relevant and was there to begin with before I started editing. Not sure why it was eliminated. The first citation from Dread Central backs it up with an image from the network's RIP page. I don't think it's a weasel word if its well documented throughout all citations. No? 2) The additional information that was added was factual and was backed up by quality references: eg. Comic Book artist and writer Steven Bissette's comments in his blog about fellow Swamp Thing artist, Bernie Wrightson. Again, the info is relevant to the additional information on the networks marketing and promotional imagery. 3) Rue Morgue Magazine references and article citation seem to have been eliminated. Can you clarify why you don't agree with the facts coming from this magazine as reliable? The same is true of Tim Lucas' Video Watchdog's DVD reviews as well as their citation of Monsterama episodes. Fangoria.Com's review of MONSTERS HD's toy line? Thanks for any help you can give this newbie and fellow horror fan and sorry if we are at war. Wasn't the intent. Just trying to improve the article. I just don't understand the rush to delete or merge the article. It just seems strange with the elimination of Kung Fu HD and your request to delete. LONGEDDY (talk) 00:35, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I Didn't eliminate Kung Fu HD, the community did. I nominated it a consensus has to be reached and typically an admin makes the decision. You seen to be on a crusade to save this article, which is fine. Couple of things please don't undo stuff just because you do not like it. Myself and another editor are working with you, but you make it hard when you work against us. Many of your references are not supporting what your inputting, Things like AMC's Robert Kirkman, Walking dead, Freddy Kruger have little relevance to the article and appear to just be name dropping--0pen$0urce (talk) 13:41, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. I don't think Freddy is there now. He shouldn't be if there is no direct reference. The references should be supporting the info now, although I am not sure what happened to the citation for "the world television premiere of Bubba Ho Tep" as reported in the RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE article which was cited. Did you happen to remove and are you ok with the citation taken from the magazine? LONGEDDY (talk) 16:25, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi - Per your suggestion, I added groups. Let me know what you think. I do find it more palatable to look at. Thanks again for the recommendation. Can you clarify your note on "questionable" sources? These are all legitimate, reliable publications and websites. You can purchase any of them to check. Is that what you are questioning? Just let me know when you get a chance. I am a little concerned that I don't understand what you mean by "questionable" sources. I just want to make it the best I can. Thanks.LONGEDDY (talk) 09:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

1. "To place a BLPPROD tag, the process requires that the article contain no sources in any form". As the policy indicates, you cannot place a BLPPROD tag if there are any sources at all, even if you dispute their reliability
2. Not independent is not the same thing as unreliable
3. "If a {{prod blp}} has been removed ... where a source of questionable reliability (rather than an obvious unreliable source) has been added, the biography should be listed instead at Articles for Deletion."

Can you offer your opinion in this discussion?

Hi. In the past you've offered your opinion in choosing photos for the Infobox. Can you offer your neutral opinion in this discussion on a related topic? It may go toward a precedent regarding captions. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. Nightscream (talk) 20:10, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Tagging for NPOV, etc

This is basically the same thing I said over at the Nathan Phillips (activist) article talk, but as you only edit from this account infrequently, I wanted to make sure you see this. See the discussion up in Talk:Nathan Phillips (activist)#A bunch of changes, and in the other sections below that. Tagging and boards are for when there is an impasse in discussion, or an article needs cleanup. Discussion has been proceeding and all other editors have been reaching consensus, and discussing compromises before making edits - even those of us who have very different viewpoints and opinions about the article subject(s). This is how Wikipedia works. Please respect consensus and Wikipedia procedures before accusing others of bad faith, or edit-warring to tag articles instead of working in collaboration. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:14, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

I don’t see a consensus and I see POV issues. Apparently no reference is acceptable if it supports information some clearly don’t want on the article. Apparently mere mention of criticism of Phillips Vietnam veteran portrayal as has been reported is an issues. 0pen$0urce (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
