I see that you removed an image from the subject article for being "non-fair use", yet the image's page explains why it's fair use for this specific article. What exactly is being contested with regards to that explanation? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 17:39, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. You'll see I've reverted changes you recently made at two tour articles. After checking with some other tour articles, though, I notice you've been removing state and province names there also. I've stated my reasons for reverting but seeing as you've been imposing these changes elsewhere, it seems a general discussion might be useful. Perhaps here or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Concert Tours. In fact, I looked on the project talk page, found that the issue had been raised, but with no result/consensus gained. (I skimmed through the Village Pump discussion mentioned there, but it seemed far too general to be applicable to city names in a table of concert tour dates.)
So, can I ask why you're removing the state and province names? As I wrote in a summary at Diamond Dogs Tour just now: "this is a tour itinerary, showing progress through North America; and it's informative to include province and state names, particularly as many of the US cities will otherwise mean nothing to most readers." Going on from that, a good, in-depth Wikipedia article on a US tour will typically include discussion of a tour's progress across the country and, in that context, may often be using wide geographical terms – state names, certainly, as well as regions (West Coast, American South, etc). That's the sort of coverage I hope to bring to George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American tour, anyway, because the sources I have approach the subject in that way. So it seems the more we can provide something, in a tour dates table, that helps readers identify the less widely known cities, the better. Many of the state names – Ohio, West Virginia, Utah, North Carolina, Wisconsin and the like – may still flummox some people. Okay, but for many other readers, the inclusion of a state name tells them everything that the city name doesn't (eg, Greensboro, Casselberry, Trotwood, Toledo, New Haven, Buffalo … many more).

I've been trying to deal with this guy for a while now. See User:NinjaRobotPirate/Plot blanker. Flyer22 has also been involved. I'm not exactly sure how to deal with this, but I think it might be time to go to ANI to get more input from people. One possibility is a long-term abuse report, which would perhaps make tracking and reporting a bit easier. This guy really seems to believe that randomly blanking paragraphs is an improvement to the articles, so I doubt he's going to stop. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 21:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Howdy Aspects, re: this reversion can you please explain to me why this IP's longplot flagging, and my restoration of the longplot flag is inappropriate? WP:FILMPLOT wants 400-700 words. The current version is 771 words long, and I'm not aware of "grace periods" for length with the exception of for complicated formats. Thoughts? Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 22:31, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
At A Nightmare on Elm Street you again removed a Plot template despite the summary being over 800 words. Please review WP:FILMPLOT. A summary over 700 words exceeds the guideline, and it is appropriate to tag the plot in such instances. Thank you for your understanding. DonIago ( talk) 14:12, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I just wanted to say sorry for not knowing that how I used the former Criterion logo is actually non-fair use. It was the first time I placed an image in an article throughout my whole 5 year stay in Wikipedia, fearing the many technical details that would go against my way through just my looking to add an image in an article. Can you provide details as to how this is non-fair use so that I have better knowledge of what images I can put in an article? LionFosset ( talk) 16:45, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
I reverted this removal (although not the one from the novel article, since that couldn't have been justified). It is accompanied by sourced quoted text by the film's costume designer describing the look she created for the character as "so far over the edge she's almost falling off." I believe that helps it meet fair use criterion #8: not everybody can visualize what that would mean, and it's contextually significant. It was uploaded so long ago that it didn't require a separate fair use rationale at the time; I can certainly add one to the image page if desired. Daniel Case ( talk) 06:49, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
The templates that you reverted are old aspects, so I have changed them newer versions that stands out. BlackGator ( talk) 10:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
WTF? BlackGator ( talk) 23:29, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
I have just been treated to one of these warnings as well for reverting templates to their original date, even though I haven't come close to 'edit warring' or WP:3RR. User Blackgator, however, continues to revert template dates back to his 'better' version, and has blanked a polite request that he cease doing this from his talk page. I have little doubt that any further warning on Blackgator's talk page would be ignored and blanked as well, and suspect that, unfortunately, a trip to WP:ANI may now be required to stop these activities. That process is a mystery to me, however, so I'll leave it in more experienced hands to decide how best to proceed. 86.174.107.27 ( talk) 00:10, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Aspects
My understanding is that the University has been rebranding and according to their new online communications policy http://www.aus.edu/commsguide the new Bilingual brandmark is the signature of the university. Whenever this does not fit, the stacked version is then used as used in their other platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. ( Mgaria ( talk) 12:17, 29 December 2015 (UTC))
Don't you think it would be better if the full detail of the 'Diva' single release of this song was merged with the Diva band article mainpage instead of being dumped into the A-ha single release like this? It takes up too much room & gives too much info for what was just a cover version here?

Hello, I was wondering how you are differentiating between which people qualify as people who are known mainly as musicians and those who are not. You marked artists such as
Kelly Clarkson and
Judy Collins as only needing Infobox musical artist, while other very well-known musicians such as
Beyoncé and
Adele use the more detailed Infobox person with the musical artist infobox embedded. The template talk page does not seem to clarify which should be used in which cases, in fact it seems to leave the option open. The
WP:Musicians talk page does not seem to clarify this either. In addition, why do you keep changing the
Flatlist template to
hlist? It specifically says on
the template page to use Flatlist.

Why do you keep deleting all of our hard work and hours of research? It's not vandalism and since there seems to be little evidence of that page being updated since 2007 (last recorded league position is from 2006/07), I don't see why you're acting bothered about the page. If you were really bothered you'd update it yourself. You haven't so we have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.17.154 ( talk) 22:44, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
we seem to be having some communication problems lately. i'm getting the message that "announcing" has been over done; - but it seems to me, in several recent cases where you've intervened, that it's been called for - or else what's left is sentence fragments and/or incoherent placement of news/events. i can see you don't like the chronological organization of the page either (or something to that effect). . . but it's the location of some of these events in time that has them contiguous on the page. by eliminating time frame, it seems as if the info is just plopped down from above! i don't mind fixing what you leave dangling, i appreciate your input and interest in the page. while i've added most of the actual information in the article, i'm not a wiki expert by any means - so if you could be clearer about your issues that would help. i've been trying to keep edits as succinct as possible - or a lot more succinct than they had been - i've gotten that message. IMO we're down to bare bones. which brings me to the lede paragraph: as you know, almost all of the longstanding lede was dumped a awhile ago (of course it needed editing and updating, but that's not what this was). i attempted to add in a bit of background (theater, as an example), but my edit (or edits, i don't recall) were reverted by the writer/editor of the paragraph. after adding the Queen association, i just left it. i'm wondering what your opinion is of the paragraph as it now stands? to me, it's uninteresting and does not make the reader want to know more. i believe those are aspects of an intro paragraph that wiki encourages. it's bland and mostly a recitation of semi-precise sales figures (as einstein or some other wise person once said, not everything that counts can be counted) - i've also seen many lede paragraphs (and long ones) with no refs at all. is that ok, so long as the information is factual? speaking of factual: recently several internet blogs or sites tweeted that adam was the first idol to headline a worldwide tour immediately following his idol season. that was then changed to ONLY american idol to do so, which is in fact true. that info (first idol) was in his lede paragraph before i started working on the page. - there was no ref (and so it stood for five years), but obviously the info could be verified by checking pages of other idols. what about that kind of info? can you clarify when refs can be left off, particularly in that first paragraph? getting back to the lede but related to this former point: what exactly constitutes a hit single? the paragraph notes that the first album had several hit singles - i agree, but i don't know what the line technically is. i wonder because worldwide media refer to ghost town as a worldwide hit. would you agree? it now has over 200 million streams on spotify and youtube alone. new dawn new day for assessing reach. would you agree it could be added to the lede as a qualifier to TOH album? would it not require a reference /like the others? thanks for any clarification you can offer.

If you were really bothered you'd update it yourself. You haven't so we have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.17.154 ( talk) 22:44, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
we seem to be having some communication problems lately. i'm getting the message that "announcing" has been over done; - but it seems to me, in several recent cases where you've intervened, that it's been called for - or else what's left is sentence fragments and/or incoherent placement of news/events. i can see you don't like the chronological organization of the page either (or something to that effect). . . but it's the location of some of these events in time that has them contiguous on the page. by eliminating time frame, it seems as if the info is just plopped down from above! i don't mind fixing what you leave dangling, i appreciate your input and interest in the page. while i've added most of the actual information in the article, i'm not a wiki expert by any means - so if you could be clearer about your issues that would help. i've been trying to keep edits as succinct as possible - or a lot more succinct than they had been - i've gotten that message. IMO we're down to bare bones. which brings me to the lede paragraph: as you know, almost all of the longstanding lede was dumped a awhile ago (of course it needed editing and updating, but that's not what this was). i attempted to add in a bit of background (theater, as an example), but my edit (or edits, i don't recall) were reverted by the writer/editor of the paragraph. after adding the Queen association, i just left it. i'm wondering what your opinion is of the paragraph as it now stands? to me, it's uninteresting and does not make the reader want to know more. i believe those are aspects of an intro paragraph that wiki encourages. it's bland and mostly a recitation of semi-precise sales figures (as einstein or some other wise person once said, not everything that counts can be counted) - i've also seen many lede paragraphs (and long ones) with no refs at all. is that ok, so long as the information is factual? speaking of factual: recently several internet blogs or sites tweeted that adam was the first idol to headline a worldwide tour immediately following his idol season. that was then changed to ONLY american idol to do so, which is in fact true. that info (first idol) was in his lede paragraph before i started working on the page. - there was no ref (and so it stood for five years), but obviously the info could be verified by checking pages of other idols. what about that kind of info? can you clarify when refs can be left off, particularly in that first paragraph? getting back to the lede but related to this former point: what exactly constitutes a hit single? the paragraph notes that the first album had several hit singles - i agree, but i don't know what the line technically is. i wonder because worldwide media refer to ghost town as a worldwide hit. would you agree? it now has over 200 million streams on spotify and youtube alone. new dawn new day for assessing reach. would you agree it could be added to the lede as a qualifier to TOH album? would it not require a reference /like the others? thanks for any clarification you can offer.

No matter what, it seems he won't respond. Guess blocking him is the next thing you can do. Kailash29792 ( talk) 07:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
