Orphaned non-free media (File:Uncannyallianceigotmyeducation.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Uncannyallianceigotmyeducation.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Careful use of wording

Regarding this edit, please be more careful when referring to other Wikipedia editors. Sentences like "biased individuals who clearly do not understand WHY the sexual preference of a public figure is noteworthy, continue to revert my edits" fail assume good faith. Comment on content, not editors, and don't make claims like biased individuals and assume ill faith and intention behind other editors edits. Canterbury Tail talk 00:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

re Dead Heat (Del Stone Jr. novel)

Thank you for contgributing this article. I'm not sure if this book meets our notability threshold for books, see WP:BK. On the other hand, zombies. So for now it's not being nominated for deletion, but it might be in future. Herostratus (talk) 02:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Tik Tok

"The song was also parodied by comedian Julie Brown in her single "Another Drunk Chick", from her album "Smell the Glamour", 62 63, which has lyrics like "Last night took home a dude who needed some Binaca/when he had an orgasm, he sounded like Chewbacca."

Okay, this sentence has alot of issues.

1. Red Links
2. Bad Grammar "which has lyrics like" is not a proper sentence.
3. Please read WP:MOS. Do not insert refs the way you have as they are not correct.
4. "which has lyrics like "Last night took home a dude who needed some Binaca/when he had an orgasm, he sounded like Chewbacca." .... This sentence violates WP:OR.
5. This parody is not notable enough to be included. Ive found no coverage of it, not all parodies warrant a mention, this is the case here.

Please be aware that Tik Tok is a "Good Article" and good articles are some of Wikipedia's best work. All issues above violate goods article criteria. Until you can fix all of these and are fully aware or WP:MOS and WP:GA please do not add it again. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 23:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

My Talk Page

Here's a refutation of your laundry list of things that are wrong with my addition to this article; to wit, everything you've said is completely wrong in every possible way.

• Red Links - adding material to an article that contains a 'red link' is not cause for deletion of the addition. A red link, as you know, simply means that an article to the linked topic has not yet been created. There is no policy that states you cannot add content to an article that contains a red link.

First of all, that violates WP:CHRYSTAL as they may never get pages. So its a violation. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

• Bad Grammar - well, you're just patently incorrect here. There is nothing grammatically incorrect about the phrase "which has lyrics like". I'm not sure what makes you think that there is, but there isn't. In this instance 'like' means 'such as'. "This salad has ingredients like lettuce and croutons." "This bicycle has parts like pedals and a seat." "The song has lyrics like (such and such)". It is 100% grammatically correct.

Unfortunately i am correct. And it violated WP:OR as you cannot take quotes from the song without a source of a reviewer. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

• If I've made a mistaken in regards to MOS, this is not grounds for complete removal of the material. Wikipedia:Be bold - don't remove my content entirely, correct my error.

Sorry but im not here to clean up after you, i dont mean that in a rude way but add it correctly in the first place, according to you you have been here for 5 years, you should know better by now. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

• Quoting lyrics is not original research. Lyrics are considered common knowledge, which negates original research. "The sky is blue" is not original research simply because the writer might have looked up at the sky and noticed the fact. Please learn the difference between OR and FS.

Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability. Main criteria " (a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout; (b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;[2] and (c) it contains no original research."........... If you State ""The sky is blue" it violates WP:OR and Wikipedia:Verifiability - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

• Julie Brown is an award winning actress, screenwriter and recording artist with an illustrious 25 year long career. A song itself does not have to meet notability requirements if the artist DOES meet notability requirements, which Julie Brown does.

Sorry, no it doesnt. Cause the song fails WP:NSONG. Britney spears could sing it and it wouldnt be notable unless it got dozens of news coverage and charted. Julie Borwn parody didnt. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

If you are so obsessed with keeping the article 'Good' then I suggest you revise your policy of complete deletion of relevant, notable information and instead focus on correcting errors and then sending a private note to the original contributor letting them know of the corrections so that they can improve in the future. Complete removal is not acceptable, and your reasons do not pass muster. CouplandForever (talk) 00:00, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

My Statements are factual and for the reasons stated above it is not to be added. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 00:13, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to have to ask for outside intervention because you're just blathering nonsense and are just undeniable, patently wrong with every single thing that you type. The policy you sited RE: 'red links' has nothing to do with the situation, it has to do with adding links to future events that may not even occur. You clearly must not speak English fluently because there was nothing grammatically incorrect in my sentence, and for you to even argue otherwise is literally ignorant. The WP:NSONG policy applies to adding entire pages based on a song, not to adding content ABOUT a song into a relevant article. CouplandForever (talk) 01:53, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of I Don't Care About Your Band

The article I Don't Care About Your Band has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of coverage in reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Chesdovi (talk) 14:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

November 2012

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

The Dream Sequence Article

You made an edit that I found kind of confusing:

"Similar to a dream sequence is a plot device in which an entire story has been revealed to be a dream. As opposed to a segment of an otherwise real scenario, in these cases it is revealed that everything depicted was unreal. Often times this is used to explain away inexplicable events."

What did you mean by "a segment of an otherwise real scenario"? Does that mean the reality is fully real or not?

This is what the article currently looks like.

Discretionary Sanctions Alert - Biography of Living Persons

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 13:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Please be more careful when adding information to biographies of living people. You need to cite high quality, reliable sources if you're going to add stuff like this. You can't cite tweets or "smut junkies dot com" or nothing when adding information like this. If a reliable source doesn't cover the information, then don't add it. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 14:00, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Ok, fair, I'll be more careful, but the total removal of certain things seems lazy. Like I'm not implying it's the responsibility of others to fix my mistakes, but just in the case of The Naked Cowboy for example, everything I said was both factual and relevant to his rise to notability. Instead of removing it entirely, couldn't it have just been given better references like https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/the-birth-of-the-naked-cowboy-it-all-began-with-a-playgirl-shoot/news-story/32203960c6dc9e91559275eb06654d34 ?
