Are you even a real person? -- Asperchu ( talk) 17:24, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Sry for that, but damn this is just amazing. -- Asperchu ( talk) 17:25, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
I have closed the discussion to merge Underworld to Hell; there was no consensus for that merger. I have started a new discussion. I propose that List of underworlds and List of underworld rulers be merged to Underworld. Your comments are welcome at Talk:Underworld#Merge from lists. Cnilep ( talk) 14:20, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I ask you to do as you say, using English rather than wikipedia jargon. Please explain to me what is wrong with my revision to The Expendables (2010 film) article. Additionally, I ask you to stop patronizing me.
If your concern is of using in-universe information (as implied in your edit summaries) in the "Cast [and characters]" section, I direct you to these good articles:
The list could go on and on. In fact, many of these "good articles" about films have the section of "Cast and characters" which you so dread. Respond. -- Boycool ( talk) 22:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Since you are apparently speechless, I am reverting your edit to the article. If you object, then respond to these messages on my talk page rather than continuing to undo my revisions and threaten me. Thank you. -- Boycool ( talk) 23:18, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. Geoff B ( talk) 23:49, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, since you are hellbent on not making the cast section consistent with other articles, I'm changing the subject. Perhaps we should [semi?]protect the article so people will stop adding "Trent Mauser"? -- Boycool ( talk) 19:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
See: Talk:The Expendables (2010 film)#Trent Mauser. After seeing several youtube videos, I have refreshed my memory and remember Schwarzenegger's character being called "Trent Mauser", so I'm all for changing it in the article. In fact, it seems everyone is but you. I think it begs the question: Have you seen the movie? If so, why are you dead set against changing the name? -- Boycool ( talk) 20:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
You reverted my edit to Prototype ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Prototype_%28video_game%29&oldid=386132354) as vandalism. Why? The section I deleted is not important enough to be in the Introduction, it's POV, and at best deserves a mention further down in the article. No? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.170.51 ( talk) 02:33, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want my source, I can send you the game's master textfile in five different languages, alongside some voice samples of the Firstborn with regards to Ereshkigall.

After a quick google search, I came to the conclusion that I am the only person to have found the hidden data thus far. The existence of a aplanned alternate ending is fact, though. It just makes me angry that I am possibly the only living person besides those who were part of the game's developement to know the whole story. Would it be of any good to upload the relevant passages from the master text file, as well as some of the audio samples and loading screens for the final battle and epilogue to Wikisource? 84.60.118.10 ( talk) 19:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Also, I've involved you as you seem to also have some conflict with the editors. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain ( talk) 19:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Just saw your most recent addition and though you might want to add "whilst" to the list. That one is seriously abused. I've noticed a plague of people using "whom" when they should be using "who" lately, which is about 50 kajillion times more annoying than the reverse. But I don't suppose that fits on your list. Millahnna ( talk) 22:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Speaking of your list (I have no idea how one would enter this concept on a simple list), I just went on one of my mini rampages to stamp out pedantic usage of the phrase "protagonist of the film". In the process I also killed a lot of plot summary in cast lists (nothing we're unfamiliar with) and some really awkward grammar like:
Seriously... what the fresh hell is wrong with saying Main character dude's father? This was rampant on several articles. I've run into it before but never in such concentrated doses. Millahnna ( talk) 19:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
I am considering restoring my more detailed and accurate version of A Prophet. I am hoping for some support, but do not mind if you revert to the version you feel is better. Millahnna had already post on my talk page suggesting that my version is also effective. I have patiently waited for over a month in vain. Based on the talk page, Millahnna is looking for more details which my version provides. I also believe that Ring Cinema is going to revert my version immediately because of his personal bias. If you look at his talk page you will notice that he has shown bias in the past. Valoem talk 16:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Geoff. Since you're looking at the article, I'd like you to untangle the problem you helped create. Specifically, the paragraph that starts "Prior to..." is incoherent and unnecessary. Since I was wise enough to exclude these side issues from my draft, perhaps you would be kind enough to figure out how to repair that abysmal example of English style. Radical surgery is required. Many thanks for taking a stab at it. -- Ring Cinema ( talk) 15:56, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Heya Geoff. Only just now saw your note to me about your quick play with this plot. It's much better but I do think it still has some of the issues I noted on the article's talk page (it's the sentences you haven't changed much from the earlier versions). Overall, though, nice clean up. Millahnna ( talk) 22:27, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
I had originally edited the pronunciation of 'curry' because what was there reflected a regional pronunciation, and I had edited it to make the RP and American English pronunciation the most prominent. I was not making the Northern English and Irish pronunciation - the one that was originally there - the main one. I have re-edited it to reflect this. 78.146.114.159 ( talk) 20:55, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
The information you deemed untrustworthy was a statement which clarified the changes between Claire and Elza, which is seen right in early screen-shots of the game, and the other being the percent of the games completion, which is taken from an official interview. 71.201.74.227 ( talk) 02:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

one word; why? -- Alex at kms ( talk) 16:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Your taking that out of context; not every article is researched in detail by a reliable source. That section in my opinion is very useful in setting the look a feel of the game (ps: this is one of my favorites) and all of it is factual as evident by both my, and the previous authors experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex at kms ( talk • contribs) 18:10, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules-- Alex at kms ( talk) 18:15, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
It is improving the article by setting the sean, and for lack of anything better i think this constitutes reason for leaving in the original research and breaking the rule, that's my opinion. then again you saying the addition of original research does not improve wikipedia is also your opinion as its not in "what ignore all rules does not mean".-- Alex at kms ( talk) 18:30, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
whats the reason OR is'nt alowed, its not verifiable, but i as an editor am verifying it though my personal experances, but i'm not alowed to use my personal experiences to verify info. you know the longer i stick around here (and by here i mean wikipedia) the more this remindes me of the senat or the houes or something along thoughts lines. wikipedia is not a bureaucracy! its an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit it in the hopes of enriching the world with the knowledge of others.-- Alex at kms ( talk) 19:01, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
First i don't want you to think that i'm saying all OR should be allowed, but rather that in many cases (such as this one) it should be allowed. sticking with your example of the generals, i've seen the genrals in the game, that is how they dress, and that is how fidel dressed, the game has very strong inflorescence from communist Cuba; the developers have come out and said so, never mind how hes a playable character in the game. so can i link to a web page supporting that statement but i could link to this picture and tell me this does'nt remind you of him-- Alex at kms ( talk) 19:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Hey there,
I just wanted to say that I don't really like original research on Wikipedia, and I apologize if my comparison between the two games on the 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors page came across as such. I suppose a source for the one aspect of the observation and a source for the other doesn't equate to the two being connected, contrary to what I originally thought. Not to excuse my misstep, but to try and explain my line of thinking I'll elaborate a bit...
Thanks in no small part to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney ushering in new popularity of the adventure genre in the US and practically becoming synonymous with the term since, 999 has been repeatedly compared to Ace Attorney in western gaming news outlets for months. As I wrote, both games are very niche and as such had low initial print runs, and the ensuing unexpected demand for the titles (caused by strong word-of-mouth for PWAA and surprisingly high review scores for 999) resulted in widespread unavailability and high resale prices. This bizarre coincidence seemed so remarkable that I thought, however misguidedly, it was notable enough for a mention to be made; to loosely equate it to something a bit more well-known, it seemed no different to me than the line of thinking that led to documentation of the Madden Curse.
Anyway, just wanted to explain myself and apologize if I came off like a fanboy contributing something unencyclopedic... not my intention at all. The Mach Turtle ( talk) 07:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Geoff B,
i received your message about personal analysis in WP - i am the co-writer of Big Trouble in Little China, David Z Weinstein. This article is riddled with FACTUAL mistakes. The quotes while verifiable are distinctly distort the truth of the events. I think the article was sponsored by Richter or Carpenter or the studio or some combination of these characters. The article actually does a disservice to those WP readers who would like to know the facts and truth behind this film. I have tow suggestions - take it down until a more factual and balanced article can be posted. Or include my corrections with first person citations as of the date of my edits. If others have corrections, they may do so in the future with the proper credentials or citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wileyprescott ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Geoff B, Why did you change my edits to Wolf Creek? I did not break any rules. I did not write ANYTHING offensive or give personal opinions or unverifiable facts. Wikipedia claims to encourage people to make contributions by editing or correcting articles or sending money. I spent a considerable amount of my precious time making these changes (having just finished watching the movie), and without any comment, you have simply removed everything I have written. You didn't contribute by modifying my changes, you just removed my carefully written and grammatically correct edits wholesale. SHAME on you. This sort of behaviour could be easily mistaken for a power trip, and judging from the entries you have left below, I can see this is a common theme with you. No doubt you'll reply with some smarmy comment or just delete this, but you know how I feel and why I'll never make another monetary contribution to Wikipedia.
Kind regards, 124.183.116.29 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.116.29 ( talk) 02:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Regarding this , I think it should be kept. While in its current state, it is poorly written, I think it should be in a section somewhere that they've given Isaac a character of his own. This is just personal opinion and feel free to take it to the talk page, but I think it's notable and plenty of sites have talked about the change. -- 81.132.64.48 ( talk) 21:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I have recently reverted an IP edit to the page in question. It seems that the editor felt it appropriate to add in the release dates of a number of nations such as Belize to the release field. This is quite similar in comparison to a sockpuppeteer from a while back who did the same to the article over a period of a few weeks.-- OsirisV ( talk) 01:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Have you read reviews of the movie? Have you followed the debate? You would realise that there is not a O of original research there. Go stick with gaming reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ObodepmYWalls ( talk • contribs) 17:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Let's review. Your first edit adds a big chunk of original research/synthesis to the article, with a single source on the end that doesn't support hardly (if) any of your claims. I revert, pointing out in the edit summary that its unsourced POV, and leave a mild note on your talk page which points out a few things you may or may not know. I don't know if you're a new user or what, here. Okay, you know ref tags, but you can click edit and look at the guts of an article to work out how to use those easily. The wording of the note is actually nice and polite (though you later characterised it as abusive); it uses words like "welcome", "appreciate", etc and finishes with "thank you."
Somehow, this spurs you on to take a quick look through my edit history, and leave a nasty remark on my talk page. First, this fails WP:NPOV, because gaming isn't any less notable or worthy than film on Wikipedia (whatever your personal opinion of it is). Second, it fails WP:CIVIL because there's simply no need for it. You've made a classic mistake, because you've come to Wikipedia with a strong POV. You think that if I revert or oppose your edits, it's because my POV opposes yours, and I'm just using Wikipedia's policies to hide a great truth that must not be revealed to the world. The thing is, I'm not even interested in what your POV is, and if you could see past it, you'd realise that if you sourced your edits I'd be happy to leave the section in. I'm all for complete transparency on Wikipedia, but it's not an excuse to abuse someone. If you had bothered to take a close look at my edit history, or the article history, you'd see that I have been defending the article from vandals for quite a while ( here is my first edit, September 6, 2010, restoring a deleted plot summary) so saying I'm a vandal makes no sense at all.
But your approach is personal and adversarial. Note that your first revert adds a source which supports the claim in the latter half of your first sentence but the edit summary simply states 'rv'. You have no rationale for reverting. By your third revert you are characterising my edits as 'vandalist'. My edits are clearly not vandalism (see WP:VANDAL), nor are yours. It's a content dispute. If you have to resort to mud-slinging, it's a fairly sure sign that your argument is on shaky ground.
To top it all off, you then only respond on the talk page after watching my edits again and spotting my report ( 17:56 for the comment on my report, 17:58 for your comment on the article's talk page in response to me). Note that all your reverts ocurred within one or two minutes, but your talk page response takes more than twenty.
From your very first comment, you have treated me as an enemy. You have not looked at me as a fellow editor. I disagree with your edits because they lack sources. Whatever you think you know about me, you don't. You've never met me, as far as I know we have never spoken or even edited the same articles before. If we have, and I have somehow given you the idea that I'm an anti-whatever-you-think-I-am, please link me to it, by all means. If you have proof that I'm part (or the sole member) of a conspiracy dedicated to keeping your views off Wikipedia, please show me, report me, do whatever you feel is necessary. But do not simply throw shit at me. Geoff B ( talk) 21:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war. Users who
edit disruptively or refuse to
collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
Answered in article talk page. Please don't remove tags on a whim, without talking. My mistake was that I thought it was glaringly obvious to whoever does fact checking rather than looks solely at article format. 71.146.93.236 ( talk) 21:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

The information you deemed untrustworthy was a statement which clarified the changes between Claire and Elza, which is seen right in early screen-shots of the game, and the other being the percent of the games completion, which is taken from an official interview. 71.201.74.227 ( talk) 02:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

one word; why? -- Alex at kms ( talk) 16:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Your taking that out of context; not every article is researched in detail by a reliable source. That section in my opinion is very useful in setting the look a feel of the game (ps: this is one of my favorites) and all of it is factual as evident by both my, and the previous authors experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex at kms ( talk • contribs) 18:10, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules-- Alex at kms ( talk) 18:15, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
It is improving the article by setting the sean, and for lack of anything better i think this constitutes reason for leaving in the original research and breaking the rule, that's my opinion. then again you saying the addition of original research does not improve wikipedia is also your opinion as its not in "what ignore all rules does not mean".-- Alex at kms ( talk) 18:30, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
whats the reason OR is'nt alowed, its not verifiable, but i as an editor am verifying it though my personal experances, but i'm not alowed to use my personal experiences to verify info. you know the longer i stick around here (and by here i mean wikipedia) the more this remindes me of the senat or the houes or something along thoughts lines. wikipedia is not a bureaucracy! its an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit it in the hopes of enriching the world with the knowledge of others.-- Alex at kms ( talk) 19:01, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
First i don't want you to think that i'm saying all OR should be allowed, but rather that in many cases (such as this one) it should be allowed. sticking with your example of the generals, i've seen the genrals in the game, that is how they dress, and that is how fidel dressed, the game has very strong inflorescence from communist Cuba; the developers have come out and said so, never mind how hes a playable character in the game. so can i link to a web page supporting that statement but i could link to this picture and tell me this does'nt remind you of him-- Alex at kms ( talk) 19:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Hey there,
I just wanted to say that I don't really like original research on Wikipedia, and I apologize if my comparison between the two games on the 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors page came across as such. I suppose a source for the one aspect of the observation and a source for the other doesn't equate to the two being connected, contrary to what I originally thought. Not to excuse my misstep, but to try and explain my line of thinking I'll elaborate a bit...
Thanks in no small part to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney ushering in new popularity of the adventure genre in the US and practically becoming synonymous with the term since, 999 has been repeatedly compared to Ace Attorney in western gaming news outlets for months. As I wrote, both games are very niche and as such had low initial print runs, and the ensuing unexpected demand for the titles (caused by strong word-of-mouth for PWAA and surprisingly high review scores for 999) resulted in widespread unavailability and high resale prices. This bizarre coincidence seemed so remarkable that I thought, however misguidedly, it was notable enough for a mention to be made; to loosely equate it to something a bit more well-known, it seemed no different to me than the line of thinking that led to documentation of the Madden Curse.
Anyway, just wanted to explain myself and apologize if I came off like a fanboy contributing something unencyclopedic... not my intention at all. The Mach Turtle ( talk) 07:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Geoff B,
i received your message about personal analysis in WP - i am the co-writer of Big Trouble in Little China, David Z Weinstein. This article is riddled with FACTUAL mistakes. The quotes while verifiable are distinctly distort the truth of the events. I think the article was sponsored by Richter or Carpenter or the studio or some combination of these characters. The article actually does a disservice to those WP readers who would like to know the facts and truth behind this film. I have tow suggestions - take it down until a more factual and balanced article can be posted. Or include my corrections with first person citations as of the date of my edits. If others have corrections, they may do so in the future with the proper credentials or citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wileyprescott ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Geoff B, Why did you change my edits to Wolf Creek? I did not break any rules. I did not write ANYTHING offensive or give personal opinions or unverifiable facts. Wikipedia claims to encourage people to make contributions by editing or correcting articles or sending money. I spent a considerable amount of my precious time making these changes (having just finished watching the movie), and without any comment, you have simply removed everything I have written. You didn't contribute by modifying my changes, you just removed my carefully written and grammatically correct edits wholesale. SHAME on you. This sort of behaviour could be easily mistaken for a power trip, and judging from the entries you have left below, I can see this is a common theme with you. No doubt you'll reply with some smarmy comment or just delete this, but you know how I feel and why I'll never make another monetary contribution to Wikipedia.
Kind regards, 124.183.116.29 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.116.29 ( talk) 02:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Regarding this , I think it should be kept. While in its current state, it is poorly written, I think it should be in a section somewhere that they've given Isaac a character of his own. This is just personal opinion and feel free to take it to the talk page, but I think it's notable and plenty of sites have talked about the change. -- 81.132.64.48 ( talk) 21:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I have recently reverted an IP edit to the page in question. It seems that the editor felt it appropriate to add in the release dates of a number of nations such as Belize to the release field. This is quite similar in comparison to a sockpuppeteer from a while back who did the same to the article over a period of a few weeks.-- OsirisV ( talk) 01:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Have you read reviews of the movie? Have you followed the debate? You would realise that there is not a O of original research there. Go stick with gaming reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ObodepmYWalls ( talk • contribs) 17:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Let's review. Your first edit adds a big chunk of original research/synthesis to the article, with a single source on the end that doesn't support hardly (if) any of your claims. I revert, pointing out in the edit summary that its unsourced POV, and leave a mild note on your talk page which points out a few things you may or may not know. I don't know if you're a new user or what, here. Okay, you know ref tags, but you can click edit and look at the guts of an article to work out how to use those easily. The wording of the note is actually nice and polite (though you later characterised it as abusive); it uses words like "welcome", "appreciate", etc and finishes with "thank you."
Somehow, this spurs you on to take a quick look through my edit history, and leave a nasty remark on my talk page. First, this fails WP:NPOV, because gaming isn't any less notable or worthy than film on Wikipedia (whatever your personal opinion of it is). Second, it fails WP:CIVIL because there's simply no need for it. You've made a classic mistake, because you've come to Wikipedia with a strong POV. You think that if I revert or oppose your edits, it's because my POV opposes yours, and I'm just using Wikipedia's policies to hide a great truth that must not be revealed to the world. The thing is, I'm not even interested in what your POV is, and if you could see past it, you'd realise that if you sourced your edits I'd be happy to leave the section in. I'm all for complete transparency on Wikipedia, but it's not an excuse to abuse someone. If you had bothered to take a close look at my edit history, or the article history, you'd see that I have been defending the article from vandals for quite a while ( here is my first edit, September 6, 2010, restoring a deleted plot summary) so saying I'm a vandal makes no sense at all.
But your approach is personal and adversarial. Note that your first revert adds a source which supports the claim in the latter half of your first sentence but the edit summary simply states 'rv'. You have no rationale for reverting. By your third revert you are characterising my edits as 'vandalist'. My edits are clearly not vandalism (see WP:VANDAL), nor are yours. It's a content dispute. If you have to resort to mud-slinging, it's a fairly sure sign that your argument is on shaky ground.
To top it all off, you then only respond on the talk page after watching my edits again and spotting my report ( 17:56 for the comment on my report, 17:58 for your comment on the article's talk page in response to me). Note that all your reverts ocurred within one or two minutes, but your talk page response takes more than twenty.
From your very first comment, you have treated me as an enemy. You have not looked at me as a fellow editor. I disagree with your edits because they lack sources. Whatever you think you know about me, you don't. You've never met me, as far as I know we have never spoken or even edited the same articles before. If we have, and I have somehow given you the idea that I'm an anti-whatever-you-think-I-am, please link me to it, by all means. If you have proof that I'm part (or the sole member) of a conspiracy dedicated to keeping your views off Wikipedia, please show me, report me, do whatever you feel is necessary. But do not simply throw shit at me. Geoff B ( talk) 21:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war. Users who
edit disruptively or refuse to
collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
Answered in article talk page. Please don't remove tags on a whim, without talking. My mistake was that I thought it was glaringly obvious to whoever does fact checking rather than looks solely at article format. 71.146.93.236 ( talk) 21:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
