Hey there, regarding this edit, isn't the point of the See also section to point to articles that are tangentially related? Bart's Friend Falls in Love and Lisa's Date with Density from what I can tell, share a similar theme of characters falling in love. Now granted, it would have been ideal if the editor had added an annotation explaining the relationship, but I don't particularly understand your objection to its inclusion. That said, I'm not taking a position on it. Just wanted to float you a query. Regards, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 02:44, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

What do you disagree with about my edits? The sentence: "Curry is the 2015 NBA MVP and a three time All-star" is easily superior to "Curry won the 2015 MVP Award and is a three time All-star." Why? Count the number of verbs and you'll find out. I think you're being strong-headed here - my edits are entirely valid and of high quality.

Just a heads up that you might want to avoid absolute statements like "Full stops and commas and colons DO NOT get presented in bold or italics", because they're generally wrong--as this one is. Periods, commas, and colons are put in italics and bold all of the time! If a whole sentence is bold or italic, of course the punctuation is as well! It makes no sense to take the period at the end of an italic sentence and make it roman: it's wrong and a waste of time, just like it would be wrong to go in and make a comma or colon in the middle of a bold sentence roman.
And even when we're not talking about cases where the whole sentence is bold or italic, it's not like it's flat-out wrong to put periods and so forth in italics; instead, it's one of several valid systems of using italics and the like. It may not be (and probably isn't--but I'd have to check) the correct system to use on Wikipedia according to the Wikipedia style guide, but it's not universally incorrect and thus doesn't really deserve comments like "Are you for real with this crap" and "Goodness gracious."
Just something to keep in mind . . . Thanks for all of your hard work on Wikipedia! :) DeadpoolRP ( talk) 12:21, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, DangerousJXD ( talk),
I just wanted to write this message on your talk page about the Miami Heat's colors, per this diff: Technically, having a red background (HTML color code 98002E ) with white text ( FFFFFF ) is color contrast-compliant, per Snook.ca. Also, having a yellow background (HTML color code F9A01B ) with black text ( 061922 ) is also color contrast-compliant, per Snook.ca. However, I understand why you reverted the Miami Heat's colors. You said so yourself in the edit summary: "They look atrocious. It looks like the Cavaliers' colours if anything. It certainly does not look like the Heat's." Well, actually, here's the Miami Heat's Reproduction Guideline Sheet, via NBA Media Central's web site. The Reproduction Guideline Sheet says the Miami Heat's colors are red, yellow and black. I'm not interested in engaging in an edit-war with you over this, nor am I interested in continually reverting edits at Module:Basketball color/data. I just thought you should know my thought process behind why I changed the Miami Heat's colors at the Basketball color module, and also at the Heat's articles/templates. Suffice it to say that I promise to leave the colors alone as they currently are, and to not mess around with the color formatting. Charlesaaronthompson ( talk) 04:53, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Re: If you're going to make that change, make it at the countless other articles that use the term.
I would, but sadly it's too late to stop the rampant corporate propaganda and public gullibility that have made "intellectual property" not only an acceptable substitute for clearer terms like "title" or "franchise" but also a concept actually taken seriously and blindly assumed to make sense. Looks like nobody cares about the other side's explanations of how utterly absurd it is to treat information like physical property (see also The term "intellectual property").

Hello! I made the recent change to Paul Pierce's page so that I could catch someone online who knew what they were doing. As you know, a lot of the main pictures on Wiki are outdated (Like Paul Pierce on the wizards or Kevin Garnett on the Celtics). How could I go about updated these in the correct way. I am definitely willing to do the work to update those pictures. People should be able to find the players current team from the first picture provided. Many recently traded players are do NOT have updated pictures. If you could inform me on how to use pictures from the internet that I could then upload into the main picture slot, that would be awesome.

Hi, DangerousJXD. We had a discussion a few months ago about the infobox picture of Batman. The current picture doesn't show his full costume and we agreed the Alex Ross picture wasn't much better. I found this image and would like your opinion on whether or not you think it's a good candidate for the infobox picture. If so, I'll discuss this on the talk page about seeing what other editors think. I just wanted to run this by you first. Drawn by Jim Lee, it's promotional art for Batman: Rebirth #1 (June 2016) and shows the full costume in frontal view. Thanks, DrRC ( talk) 02:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
DangerousJXD, I add a few other options on the talk page, and I'm leaning towards this one, considering how high the quality of this image is. Thanks again for your input. DrRC ( talk) 00:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Do not remove power forward from Nikola Jokic. You probably never heard for him before he signed in NBA, but i know him for many years and he also plays power forward, which was actualy his primary position in Europe. There are milion sources with that information, so do not remove that. I also provided a website of ABA league that is reliable, its offcial league website.-- Bozalegenda ( talk) 01:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, your input in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Essentially, the cover of The Dark Knight Returns has been overused in too many articles and is being considered for deletion in many articles.

Hey there. I noticed that an IP user was trying to say that Clefairy was in the game Clash of Clans, a claim which you reverted. While I do personally think that the Clash game is a bit childish, you might find it helpful to focus on discussing content rather than contributors. Civility's one of the five pillars of Wikipedia, and calling a user an unfunny "childish ten year-old" just isn't as effective or respectable as noting that the user's claim was unsourced.
It's just a suggestion; I'm not an administrator, and I'm not saying that what you did was wrong, but I've found myself getting hot-tempered at other users and ultimately being viewed negatively as a result. Just thought I'd offer some advice. Cheers! – Matthew - ( talk) 23:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

This is not directed toward any article you may have written, but I was wondering does playing on the Harlem Globetrotters count as being notable?

We must always post sources from articles? None of them talk about the police (In fact they never do as they never research deeper). Mafia series always had cops responding to traffic laws, react to gangsters and what not. The following video none of them (reaction to gangsters) actually exist and all these were false claim and you refuse this true to be spreaded?

I think I predicted that the IP hopper was going to go from article to article, and that appears to be true as they are now going to force Scarlet Witch to be semi-protected before long.

I'm guessing you were more appreciative of this edit's summary than the edit itself. And while I'm glad you liked it, I hope you know that I just got called out for aggressive and/or snide edit summaries, a complaint about my behavior that I both agree and disagree with. But because of you, I'm never going to learn to stop. That means you'll be to blame when I inevitably revert a bureaucrat, use the summary to call them a "douchebag with a head shaped like an aspirin" or something like that, and get myself banned forever.

I plan on requesting an edit filter for the addition of "GOAT" or "G.O.A.T." to a sports article. Looks like I'll need diffs to make my case, and I know I've reverted dozens of GOATs, but right now I can only recall this one. I know these highly original and clever edits are popular on basketball articles, so could you let me know of any goat sightings you can remember, or if you revert any in the future. Thanks, Lizard ( talk) 02:24, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
I am tempted to undo your edits to Tsst, and possibly a few others. I applaud the intention to streamline and condense rampant Plot sections, but hacking out 80+% of a not badly written section is a little beyond the pale. Especially without mentioning it on the Talk page. Tell me why I shouldn't restore the section and start whittling with at least bit of consensus. Dmforcier ( talk) 05:43, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
I don't want to argue the point. Someone else added the reference to Mr. Burns' escape being a spoof of the 1989 Batman movie. All I did was try to help that contributor by adding references. If you're going to keep reverting, it's not worth the time and effort. Maybe you'd like to help by providing some references of which you approve? Billmckern ( talk) 00:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Then explain the dozens of times that character references appear in other articles regardless of whether they appear in the form of media or not. Characters are referenced in the MCU movies all the time without them actually appearing, and trivial points like the Black Cat reference in MVC3 has appeared numerous times to showcase fun bits of information or the character's overall exposure to media. So excuse me if I don't see the "common sense" in a heavily contradicted scenario.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Sorry if I made some mistakes. I had been told by another editor that the way I was doing it was correct. I still don't really understand the guideline and I think it looks weird from the link you gave but I'll trust you know what you're doing when you're removing all my edits. Could you explain what is the correct way of doing it? *Treker ( talk) 01:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, DangerousJXD. We had a discussion a few months ago about the infobox picture of Batman. The current picture doesn't show his full costume and we agreed the Alex Ross picture wasn't much better. I found this image and would like your opinion on whether or not you think it's a good candidate for the infobox picture. If so, I'll discuss this on the talk page about seeing what other editors think. I just wanted to run this by you first. Drawn by Jim Lee, it's promotional art for Batman: Rebirth #1 (June 2016) and shows the full costume in frontal view. Thanks, DrRC ( talk) 02:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
DangerousJXD, I add a few other options on the talk page, and I'm leaning towards this one, considering how high the quality of this image is. Thanks again for your input. DrRC ( talk) 00:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Do not remove power forward from Nikola Jokic. You probably never heard for him before he signed in NBA, but i know him for many years and he also plays power forward, which was actualy his primary position in Europe. There are milion sources with that information, so do not remove that. I also provided a website of ABA league that is reliable, its offcial league website.-- Bozalegenda ( talk) 01:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, your input in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Essentially, the cover of The Dark Knight Returns has been overused in too many articles and is being considered for deletion in many articles. I for one believe we should keep it in the Batman and The Dark Knight Returns articles. Thanks for your time! DrRC ( talk) 20:53, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, as someone who edits from mobile, this conversation here might be of interest to you. Thanks!-- Melamrawy (WMF) ( talk) 00:01, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Hey there. I noticed that an IP user was trying to say that Clefairy was in the game Clash of Clans, a claim which you reverted. While I do personally think that the Clash game is a bit childish, you might find it helpful to focus on discussing content rather than contributors. Civility's one of the five pillars of Wikipedia, and calling a user an unfunny "childish ten year-old" just isn't as effective or respectable as noting that the user's claim was unsourced.
It's just a suggestion; I'm not an administrator, and I'm not saying that what you did was wrong, but I've found myself getting hot-tempered at other users and ultimately being viewed negatively as a result. Just thought I'd offer some advice. Cheers! – Matthew - ( talk) 23:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lisa the Iconoclast, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Miss Hoover. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is not directed toward any article you may have written, but I was wondering does playing on the Harlem Globetrotters count as being notable? The team exists strictly for exhibition events which is why I bring this up. The question is more for people who are only known for playing on the Globetrotters. Any help is appreciated.

I have requested that Doctor Doom in other media be semi-protected. In the mean time, I'd suggest opening a sock investigation if you haven't already. Dark Knight 2149 05:04, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
I am now completely finished with forming a list of the IP addresses used by the vandal. It includes enough of the IPs in order to determine which IP ranges are problematic. The next step is to file the report, so the process is nearly complete. From here on out, I will simply tag you in any relevant discussions while respecting your reluctance to get too involved in such matters. Dark Knight 2149 22:13, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
What is so bad about Visual Editor | |
What is so wrong with using visual editor? I'm typing everything so it appears correct on the page. Any suggestions on another way of correcting mistakes? Redpanda6633 ( talk) 14:06, 27 September 2016 (UTC) |
Somebody seems to hav e taken a chance and created List of vehicles simulated by iRacing.com This seems to be against every wikipedia policy - how do we go about deleting this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.247.26 ( talk) 12:22, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
I just wanted to leave you a message to let you know that I've semi protected your user page indefinitely in order to keep the vandals off of them. If you don't want this protection applied, or if you want it unprotected at a later time, please let me know and I will do so immediately. I hope you have a great rest of your day, and I wish you happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 02:24, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

DangerouslyJXD ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is impersonating you, but now blocked by Widr. I've speedy closed this disscussion at ANI.

We must always post sources from articles? None of them talk about the police (In fact they never do as they never research deeper). Mafia series always had cops responding to traffic laws, react to gangsters and what not. The following video none of them (reaction to gangsters) actually exist and all these were false claim and you refuse this true to be spreaded? This sounds defending a game from having negative reaction. What's your comment? Thekillergreece ( talk) 04:48, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
I think I predicted that the IP hopper was going to go from article to article, and that appears to be true as they are now going to force Scarlet Witch to be semi-protected before long. Since they have been doing this on several articles, I'm sure they have numerous targets to pick from. 73.168.15.161 ( talk) 03:19, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm guessing you were more appreciative of this edit's summary than the edit itself. And while I'm glad you liked it, I hope you know that I just got called out for aggressive and/or snide edit summaries, a complaint about my behavior that I both agree and disagree with. But because of you, I'm never going to learn to stop. That means you'll be to blame when I inevitably revert a bureaucrat, use the summary to call them a "douchebag with a head shaped like an aspirin" or something like that, and get myself banned forever.

I plan on requesting an edit filter for the addition of "GOAT" or "G.O.A.T." to a sports article. Looks like I'll need diffs to make my case, and I know I've reverted dozens of GOATs, but right now I can only recall this one. I know these highly original and clever edits are popular on basketball articles, so could you let me know of any goat sightings you can remember, or if you revert any in the future. Thanks, Lizard ( talk) 02:24, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
I am tempted to undo your edits to Tsst, and possibly a few others. I applaud the intention to streamline and condense rampant Plot sections, but hacking out 80+% of a not badly written section is a little beyond the pale. Especially without mentioning it on the Talk page. Tell me why I shouldn't restore the section and start whittling with at least bit of consensus. Dmforcier ( talk) 05:43, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
I don't want to argue the point. Someone else added the reference to Mr. Burns' escape being a spoof of the 1989 Batman movie. All I did was try to help that contributor by adding references. If you're going to keep reverting, it's not worth the time and effort. Maybe you'd like to help by providing some references of which you approve? Billmckern ( talk) 00:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Then explain the dozens of times that character references appear in other articles regardless of whether they appear in the form of media or not. Characters are referenced in the MCU movies all the time without them actually appearing, and trivial points like the Black Cat reference in MVC3 has appeared numerous times to showcase fun bits of information or the character's overall exposure to media. So excuse me if I don't see the "common sense" in a heavily contradicted scenario.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
