Nurseline247 AN/I

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 01:29, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your revision on David 8, by the way. It's a tricky subject, as we're dealing with an android who attempts to rape Daniels, though I'm unsure if that gives him the categorization as a rapist. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 04:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Templates

"But I really think you should move articles before you start changing links in navboxes, otherwise it ends up looking really odd with redlinks and redirects on it."★Trekker (talk) 13:37, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi. You mean this? Unfortunately it is the only way to see how many other articles are mislinking among those linked to large templates. Changing the template entry to [Title (extension)|Piping] within about 2-3 hours updates on the What Links Here function to allow the articles which are not intended to head there to become more visible. That's the purpose. If nothing is mis-linked then no problem. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:42, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay then, thanks for the explanation.★Trekker (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

No worries. I was sorting out Plunderer (disambiguation) In ictu oculi (talk) 14:51, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

New Category

I would go with Category:Fictional elements by year of introduction. That would I use for fictional places, organizations, concepts and things ergo Gotham City, the Batcave, Encyclopedia Galactica etc.

That seems good, I have done so now.★Trekker (talk) 00:11, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

The Other Day

I took the weekend to think things over. Things got heated. I apologize. Threatening people doesn't help when things get heated. If we can move past this, cool. If not, that's on you. It would be best if we did though. 17:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

@Fishhead2100: I feel I made it pretty clear in my overly long earlier comment that I don't want to have issues with you (or anyone), so if you're not upset at me that makes me glad.★Trekker (talk) 17:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Ummm, read what I said again. Where in what I said did I say was I upset with you? Sometimes people can't move on regardless of what they said. I've apologized yet you refused to acknowledge that. When you apologized, I accepted and moved on. Maybe you should do the same. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 18:48, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

@Fishhead2100: What? I already forgave you, what part of my comment implies that I didn't? I just said that I'm glad that you don't seem angry at me.★Trekker (talk) 19:27, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

My bad, I misread that. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 21:42, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

@Fishhead2100: Nice that we cleared that up. All seems to be good.★Trekker (talk) 21:44, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Template:Midnight Sons

Hi *Treker, can you really not see the point in my edit? Please check again... Greetings, Weapon X (talk, contribs) 08:47, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Not really, I fundamentally disagree with linking to sections in navboxes, and so does most people who I have interacted with on the comic project. They are for connecting articles.★Trekker (talk) 10:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I get that you disagree... but navboxes are not only for connecting articles, the links in the navboxes should lead to the content they describe. With normal links in navboxes I also don't see a reason for linking to sections but in this case the article connected is not an article about what the link describes. And when there is indeed a section with the same name of the link that leads to it, then you have to admit that you at least get my intention/point. You might disagree in linking to sections, though in this case I would be interested into the reason why it should be not allowed or why its not natural/logical to link to the section in this specific case.

(The problem with linking to the redirect instead is, that the link in the navbox would not loose its link (being bold instead) when navbox is seen in that article). - Weapon X (talk, contribs) 12:15, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Blade

I know that was a good-faith edit at Blade (comics), but "Blade (character)" doesn't work since there are several characters named Blade listed at the dismabig page. There needed to have been a move discussion. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Ops. Yeah, I'll take care of that right away.★Trekker (talk) 20:34, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

You absolutely did it right! Thanks! The next thing you might want to do — and it's what I do in such instances, though it's lot of work — is to place an identical, neutral message on the talk page of every registered editor who's edited the article or its talk page within a given timeframe (the last three months, the last six months, even the last year if there's not a lot of activity). It's important to have an objective criterion such as that for contacting editors to join the discussion, so that it's not canvassing. Nice work and good luck! --Tenebrae (talk) 18:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll get on that right away when I'm done with some small stuff rigth now.★Trekker (talk) 18:20, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes I can see that.★Trekker (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello *Treker. You are a contributor to the Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Mangoeater1000. Do you believe that Psychonot is a sock of Mangoeater? He does have interest in pro wrestling, in the Middle East, and in New York area educational institutions. He also made 97 edits to his own sandbox in the apparent effort to pad his edit count. Are you convinced yet? Thanks for any opinion, EdJohnston (talk) 03:13, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

I would say yes. It seems pretty clear unless they just have super similar personalities, which seems unlikely.★Trekker (talk) 03:18, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

I actually missed this edit, which makes a Checkuser unnecessary: confirmed Mangoeater sock, Eliken, made the exact same edit[1] to Bret Hart that Psychonot did yesterday![2] 2A02:C7F:8E0C:6600:453A:283A:2175:CB39 (talk) 14:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Third opinion

Done. See Wikipedia:Third opinion. If you wish, feel free to change the wording. -- PBS (talk) 09:15, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

A little confused, and I somewhat object

Hi, I'm just curious why added content to my Deceased wrestlers categories and then voted to have them deleted? I will not combat this, since they are going to be deleted, and since everyone also agrees so. Also you said I created bad categories, yes some were bad, but others weren't. If you look at some title histories categories which I have recently created, I don't see how you could say those ones are bad. Davidgoodheart (talk) 20:57, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

In my personal opinion you seem like an editor who often creates categories without thinking about the regulations that categories should comply with, you have done this enough times that I felt it was worth noting. Nothing personal. I added content to your categories because even if I don't like them that doesn't mean I can't improve them.★Trekker (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your insight on this, as I now plan to give it more thought about what I will write about now. What wrestlers do you think should be listed in this category which I created Category:NWA World tag-team champions? The reason I ask this is because it seems that Wikipedia has changed or is now unclear about who are NWA World tag-team champions, and who are WCW tag-team champions Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:22, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

If I will be honest with you I must admit that I am not at all familiar with NWA at all, and barely WCW. I would recomend that you you bring it up to the wrestling project talkpage. More than anything I wish that you do a long read through of many Wikipedia gudlines, again, nothing personal, but I see that quite a few of your articles have been deleted due to notability concerns.★Trekker (talk) 10:20, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

In case you didn´t know, you´ve been mentioned in media! [3] Along with David Eppstein and Jo-Jo Eumerus. Congrats? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

God. What a shit site. They totally misconstrued and misquoted what I meant when I decided to leave the discussion.★Trekker (talk) 20:07, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

I've written something on my own talk page about this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:09, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

"only propaganda from an unreliable source", quote of the day. I'm guessing from your talk page that you've had this happened before.★Trekker (talk) 20:14, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

They like to write about WP:[4]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:19, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Gotta complain about something I guess. I have to say I feel a little creeped out, I never wanted to have any attention from my editing on here. I've always stayed away from political or controversial subject becuse of that, I didn't realize that the guy was some anti-evolution person or whatever it's called. If I had know the deletion would become such a childish farce I would probbaly have just left it be and gone about my day forgetting about the guys existence. Is there any likelyhood that they will come bother me or something?★Trekker (talk) 20:28, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

My sympathies. I don´t think so, never heard of the DI going after WP-editors, but I can´t know, can I? Try to ask someone at WMF maybe? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

WMF means the WikiMedia Foundation correct?★Trekker (talk) 20:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

It's a good thing I don't keep a collection of press clippings because then I'd have to add this one. The non-response from me mentioned in the article was deliberate, by the way, not just my usually-bad responsiveness to emails. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:02, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Yeah I can't imagine wanting to waste time responding to this.★Trekker (talk) 21:07, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Or give them more material to twist. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:14, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

True.★Trekker (talk) 21:15, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Recent deletions.

Given that M-rt- C137 was generally himself the source of the abuse surrounding him, and given that M-rty is only the latest in a string of sock personae going back at least 5 years, are these edits being checked to ferret out new sockpuppets? Anmccaff (talk) 16:19, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Not sure about that. I'm not actually very familiar with Morty-C137 and his issues.★Trekker (talk) 16:29, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

If memory serves, and searching suggests it was, it was User:DoRD who nailed him; lemme see what he thinks. I think User:Callanecc and Acroterion might also remember him. Thanks. Anmccaff (talk) 16:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm going to need some background on what the recent deletions are. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Superhero

While I have no plan to add "superhero" or "supervillain" to any characters' articles, it seems as though using this terminology is still the standard practice, as evidenced by the multitude of comic book character articles containing these descriptions. This becomes problematic when the character cannot be defined by any of these two terms, and as such, "character" is typically the better term. DrRC (talk) 06:49, 28 November 2017 upp(UTC)

Many other articles doing it doesn't make it right.★Trekker (talk) 08:36, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

@*Treker: I'm not disagreeing with you; I was stating what seems to be a trend. I have no interest in editing articles using terminology that it is not deemed appropriate by the consensus of WikiProjects Comics. DrRC (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Punisher (disambiguation)

I want to know Why the films The Punisher (1989 film) and The Punisher (2004 film) (and their soundtracks) can be on the page Punisher (disambiguation), but the movie Punisher: War Zone and its soundtrack, can not?--Isinbill (talk) 15:48, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Because it's a disambiguation page, those articles have near zero risk of being confused for another. It's not an "every article with the word punisher in it" page.★Trekker (talk) 16:06, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Template:Batman

This "POV" was started at the very beginning before the characters navbox was splitted. Not a rule by me. The editors had a blocked thing called Template: Batman/adversaries that I didn't find fair IMO this character navbox should never been splitoff just for the sake of not having characters on the navbox. Also it is very POV too. "Central rogues gallery". I mean come on. List of Batman family adversaries article has that too. There is probably no such thing on main enemies. If there was a disagreement with who shouldn't been on the main character navbox. Then we can made a consensus on it too. It's not my POV. But seriously I find that the Batman navbox is in need of additions. It's too small now. His characters are more essential than just adding a list article on his main navbox IMO. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:40, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

I have no idea why you added this here, I already replied at the template talkpage man.★Trekker (talk) 19:43, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Straight from the Hart

Hi, I'm Famousdog. *Treker, thanks for creating Straight from the Hart!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The section "Publication history" is completely devoid of text, yet features eight references. In all my years on Wikipedia, I've never seen anything like that!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Famous_dog (c) 13:16, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Famousdog:, I know it might look a little weird but this is in general how I like to work on articles, rather slowly and with sources collected first. Don't worry, I will be adding more to the article soon!★Trekker (talk) 13:20, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand, but some WP admins can be less tolerant of slowly-developing articles. I would suggest producing a draft version in your namespace, rather than publishing something that is still not a coherent article. Famous_dog (c) 13:26, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand, the thing is that having an article in mainspace motivates me to work, having stuff in my sandbox or in a draft tends to result in it just sitting there for a forever while I end up working on other stuff.★Trekker (talk) 13:29, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Re: Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup

I don't have a problem with any changes such as that one. Definitely if we decide to merge Bliss too. It doesn't make sense for her to have her own individual article but the three main Powerpuff girls do. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 23:30, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Bliss should not get merged, the character is independently notable. So are the other girls, the problem has been that little effort to prove their notability was done while the characters had articles, so they were redirected.★Trekker (talk) 23:59, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

You can try to do what you are attempting. I won't stop you I just was thinking the Bliss info would improve your idea. I just see there being some complaints that Bliss has her own individual article but not the three main girls. That seems to make a little less sense too. I assume if you want a team article you would want an mention of Bunny and Bullet too? Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 22:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes to your last question. When i have time to move the article I will treat it as a team article, with the main members and supplementary ones getting coverage. As far as the Bliss article is concerned the fact that the character is independently notable is the only thing that matters, complaining that the other characters don't have any is nonsensical (and will be fixed anyway, in time) and I will ignore those people.★Trekker (talk) 23:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

User group for Military Historians

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

I won't block an account as a sockpuppet without doing a bunch of evaluation, and I didn't feel like taking the time when the account's edits were sufficient for a vandalism block. I figured I'd better let you know, lest you think that I was rejecting your allegations; I expect you're right, so it's just that I didn't see the point because another route was easier.

Dealing with difficult editors

Hi! I observed that at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/What Were They Thinking? The 100 Dumbest Events In Television History, you were having a conversation with an editor who saw things differently than you. Using profanity, calling folks name is identified as uncivil behavior. No matter how ignorant, stupid, childlike, etc. we may believe an editor to be, (and I know there are some I believe to be total imbeciles!!!) we still need to treat them with respect. I know on times when I have not, it has come back to bite me on the you-know-what! I know it can be difficult, but especially when we find an editor who seems child-like, we need to speak to them civilly. Merry Christmas! Jacona (talk) 22:26, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey

I just saw Will's final response to the Gail Kim thread because HHH linked to it. Although you and I have different opinions on the issue, I just want to let you know I think Will was very rude throughout the process and I don't condone the way he spoke to you. Here's to another year of editing together, LM2000 (talk) 11:50, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

@LM2000: Thanks. Yes, a lot of the time we editors on the project disagree on things, but I respect you all a lot (even if my tone also might be unnecessarily harsh sometimes), especially you LM2000. You're always very good at keeping a mature temper.★Trekker (talk) 13:12, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Valter Skarsgard edit

Hey there! I was reading the article about Valter Skarsgard and noticed that Dark Lake wasn’t listed on his filmography. When I clicked on that section to add it, it was there but was missing a character so it didn’t show on the list. I literally added a “]” to the entry and that was it. I went back to the article after you reversed the edit and it isnt listed any more but is still in the section when I click on edit. There is something wrong with the code and it should be fixed. There was no vandalism and it wasn’t unconstructive. If you think it is vandalism, can you explain why? Pgraves6690 (talk) 21:19, 3 January 2018 (UTC)pgraves6690

@Pgraves6690: You replaced a | with a ] which I enterpeted that as minor vandalism, since it's not an edit that makes sense. Svartsjön is the original name of the series and is listed with the link to Black Lake underneath. There is no need to fix anything.★Trekker (talk) 04:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for him being a pilot in Vietnam? The ref used in the article says he did a tour in Vietnam and separately said he was a pilot. Do you know what branch of the military he served in? I have to say, I'm not confident based on the ref that he was actually a pilot in Vietnam, nor do I see any other mention in a reliable source of him actually serving in Vietnam other than the one used by the article. It makes it look like he's a vet, but I see no reliable source that says he served in the military. If he is a vet, I'd like to specify the service. Semper Fi!

Question

Hi, *Treker. I always like seeing your edits on my Watchlist, since I know that means the article was edited responsibly. I have a question: My impression was that we do 30em for the sake of mobile platforms. It was the replacement for the reflist parameter "2" (for two-column). When did this change? Can you point me in the direction of this MOS change? With thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 22:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

@Tenebrae: The reflist itself has been updated recently to fix columns on it's own when there are enough (or large enough) citations to warant it. I'm not a hundred procent sure when it was done but I was told about a week ago and I've seen it work on several articles.★Trekker (talk) 23:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@Tenebrae: I am not sure when either, but under 10 refs it does one column, after 10 refs it automatically shifts to 30em, so unless you need it narrower such as a number of very short refs that you want 20em, there is no need to put anything with it. It will automatically fix itself. This is what it says on Template:Reflist There are no required parameters; if none are supplied, a single-column list will be generated if there are fewer than 10 references in the list. If you have more than 10 references, it will use columns of 30em wide if your device allows this. - Galatz^Talk 03:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Ah, great! That explains it! And saves us a lot of time. And thank you both for taking the time to fill me in! --Tenebrae (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

No problem.★Trekker (talk) 15:24, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Pronouns

I saw where you commented on pronouns. I watched Normal and wrote a summary. I asked a question on the Normal talk page about correcting my pronoun use. In the transgender world, what is the correct use of pronouns? Could you please check my summary? Thanks.Eschoryii (talk) 18:05, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

@Eschoryii: I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure what you're talking about. What exact article do you want me to check?★Trekker (talk) 18:09, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Please go to the movie article Normal. A man transgenders to a woman. In writing a movie summary I kept calling the man a he and him but he considered himself a her. I am sure I did not properly or correctly use the right pronouns and I wanted someone to correct my summary. There is my question also on the Normal film on the talk page. I am a 67 year old male and just do not know the correct reference of a transgender person. When is he a he or she a she? I would personally like to know and I think my movie summary needs to be correct. If you can help thanks. Eschoryii (talk) 18:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC) or refer me to some place.

She, the correct term is she if the person is born male but considers themself a woman.★Trekker (talk) 18:49, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

@Eschoryii: I have gone ahead and fixed it. I appreciate that you're respectfully asking for help on this matter which you're not familiar with.★Trekker (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Classic Wrestling Articles & Inside Pulse

Before even looking at the site, I noticed it is hosted on Wordpress. Read blogs as source for information on whether you should use blogs. They do not have any information as to what legal rights they have to doing so. I would ask the community for a wider view points. I am on the fence about adding it as reliable.

As far as Inside Pulse goes, they look similar to 411Mania. I would only use it for reports on weekly shows and pay-per-views. I wouldn't use it for anything else. Do they do any fact checking? Do they constantly report things are false? It would be good to know their history and if they've been viewed as negative or not based fake or false news. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 22:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

A Stu Hart picture

The following picture you upload which you can see here doesn't explain what permissions you have to upload it. Unless you are able to point it out, the legal right to upload it would be said daughter unless permission was granted. Again, there is nothing stated, as far as I can see, that you have permission. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 07:39, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Its a fair use image of a dead person, not on commons. The reason I have given is the only needed. I've brought this up on the copyright page on wikipedia long before I uploaded it.★Trekker (talk) 09:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't need permission of his daughter Alison, she doesn't own the copyright as far as anyone knowes, just the copy used in the Pain and Passion book. She would have had to buy the rights to it from the person who took it, and I have a hard time beliving she would put effort into that as opossed to the idea that she simply owned a copy of it since it's a nice family photo. And again, it's using a fair use motivation which can be used for pretty much any image of a dead person according to wikipedia guidlines. There have been no complaints from her or anyone else from the family or anyone claiming to be the copyright holder, so no, no way that I'm going to try to fix that, there is nothing to fix. I can at most reword the fair use motivation.★Trekker (talk) 09:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I for one think it should be fair use. There a couple other articles in which it could be used. That's just me. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 02:47, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Non-wiki profiles for premature deaths in professional wrestling

Hi, What I will do for profiles that do not have a wiki profile I will add and create them. Some of the very great wrestlers that were notable back in the day don't have a wiki profile. I recently created Ripper Collins.

@Kingzwest: Only if they comply with Wikipedia's notability standards, and they're not "profiles", they're articles, Wikipedia is not a database. Also, please sign your comments and reply on your own talkpage. It be nice to not have to explain this again.★Trekker (talk) 03:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I thought that that link belonged at the bottom of the page and not the top, so that is why I moved it, now I know that it should be at the top. Why don't you think The Dangerous Alliance is worthy of a category page? They were a major force in three different wrestling organizations. Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:13, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart: Oh my god, did you not read what I wrote? All I said was that categories are not notability based, if there are less than five articles for for a category it's not generally considered necessary for there to be one and since you have not seemed to understand how categories work so far I thought it was worth pointing out to you, I don't know what odd "add random spaces" edit it was that you did just now to one of the categories but it was pointless and I undid it. And for the last goddamned time, if someone comments on your talk page answer on your own talkpage, don't make a new conversation somewhere else. I'm sorry, I'm really really really trying to be nice to you and encourage you but you're really starting to get on my nerves by never learning, this is like the fourth time I'm having to point this out to you.★Trekker (talk) 05:35, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Why do you remove the list of I Quit matcehs on the I Quit match article?

The table has existed for 10 years, with new I Quit matches being added, suddenly someone removed them last years without any notification or reasoning. We read wikipedia as a source to get knowledge, get information, see records, know facts. Whats the point of having this article if its not going to be a source of any knowledge or list records of past I Quit matches, but just exist as a poorly written mess. The section "I Respect You" match does not even have any reference. Actually there are no valid reliable references at all. But with the tables we could see actual records, that had existed for over 10 years and we can verify those matches from the wrestler's profiles. What exists now is a cheap poorly written article on I Quit matches, only including what a particular editor wants to be included while that editor removed everything else he/she doesnt consider important. This is ridiculous and this messed up article is useless and now proves the fact how unreliable Wikipedia is. For over 10 years the I Quit match list existed here, and some new editor just removes it last year totally messing up the article! Please add the list of I Quit matches back, as without such vital information its totally useless to have this article at all and we only read wikipedia for information which this article no longer is and this is a disrespect to us readers... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeptchjijihhtgghbyjhhmkkkl (talk • contribs) 12:02, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

It's not sourced. This has been explained about a 1000000 times already.★Trekker (talk) 12:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Um, how can you source a table. Plus these match lists have existed so long, so many years, why suddenly it becomes necessary to remove them. it is still possible to source each them, by adding references to the evets, plus using internet wrestling database like profigthdb.com. if source is so important, remove I respect you match section and the line "On the May 4, 2016, edition of Lucha Underground, Sexy Star defeated Mariposa in the promotion's first "I Quit" match, known in Spanish as a "No Mas" match.", its un sourced. Infact the vast majority of the article is un sourced, just one reference. A few of the matches that cannot be sourced, that happened before internet came, like matches from the 1970s, these were included there by older gen (60+) users there, but yeah wikipedia doesnt allow original research.Why not delete the whole article then? It appears totally useless now. Anyway i wont argue any further, i ve lost my faith on wikipedia fo sometimes now anyway. But I sufggest that the article is no good without a list of matches like the Elimination Chambers article: Elimination Chamber, but I agree the matches there are all sourced, but the most useful thing about it is the list of matches. So if the I Quit match doesn't get a list and even without the list every detail mentioned there is unsourced anyway (and is a total mess, just look at it, do you think the present version is a good quality version?), I suggest deleting it completely and adding the I Quit match to the Professional wrestling match types which includes variety of match types that do not include a list, and separate article on a match type without a list is pretty useless.

First They Came - Edit

Hi you removed my edit to the poem First they came with this comment:

"Not discussed in the article at all and unsourced"

Can you please explain what article you are referring to?

Also I don't see why I need a source for my edit, the original sentence about themes hasn't provided a source either.

The poem is clearly about freedom of speech and the way fascist governments take power by slowly taking it away from minority groups. Do you think this is wrong?DovicKnoble (talk) 20:00, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

The lead section needs to summarize content which is already included in the article, you can't add your own unsourced interpretation just because you think it's "clearly" about that. I'm not saying it's an unvalid interpretation but you need sources to back up that that is indded an interpretation that other people have had.★Trekker (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
