Hi PM, you have removed important data from the chart in the Brat Pack article without explanation (which is against Wikipedia policy), presumably in order to fit in the images that you added. If you would like to add those images to the article, do so in a gallery format, preferably at the bottom of the article.

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. Arctic Night 20:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Just for those interested, here are some diffs of PM800 ignoring requests for discussion. PM800 was repeatedly requested to explain his actions: here, here, here, here and here. PM800 ignored each and every request. Arctic Night 01:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi PM800 - while I was looking through your contribs regarding the Tyler Clementi thing (which I would, by the way, still like a rationale for), I noticed this, this and this. Vandals and other users might write dumb things (or things that might appear to us to be dumb) - we don't respond in kind, or else what does that make us? Arctic Night 01:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello PM800, I'm sure this was only an honest mistake on your part, but your reversion of an IP's edit on Golden Tate, I assume on the pretense of reverting vandalism, actually introduced a factual inaccuracy into the article. I have reverted your honest mistake and added some reliable sources to back up the IP's edit. Arctic Night 00:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello PM800. There is currently a discussion ongoing at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your behaviour. This is just a courtesy note to let you know. Arctic Night 02:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia has just lost over 100 Canadian DYKs I had in the works that could have been taken to GA or FA status thanks to your actions. I hope you're proud of yourself. You've got to think - are your smarmy comments worth the loss of valuable contributors? If you put the wiki before your own pride and ignorant mentality, you'll stop being such a dick and actually responding to people who comment on your talk page. If you put your own pride before the potential for over 100 article creations (read: the good of the wiki), by all means, continue with your comments.
Of course, I don't expect that you'll respond to this (although if you did, I'm sure it would be very redeeming for you... I'm saying this not as an angry editor but as an attempt to look objectively at the matter).
Wikipedia's just lost me as a contributor thanks to the crap you've been pulling. Respond to people, dammit. Arctic Night 03:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bungalow DVD.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 12:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I think that I have worked on the article enough to have the template. If were not for the revamps I did, the article might even be demoted right now. So, I'm helping it in the reassessment, which means that I am helping it get to GA status. Which means I should have the template. I don't mean to be hasty or mean or hurt your feelings. But I feel like you are starting to personally attack me, so please stop. I don't want these discussions to go on any further. I really don't like arguing or anything of the sort.

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

I acknowledge and apologize for my personal attack on you back in December. I beleive you owe me an apology for your initial personal attack in thsi update [1] where you called me a moron.

I am okay with the rest of the article, but I am in a bind because the film is not out and WP:CRYSTAL is ringing in my head, especially without having seen such a summary published elsewhere. Do you think I should let this slide AGF? KimChee ( talk) 12:44, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi PM, you have removed important data from the chart in the Brat Pack article without explanation (which is against Wikipedia policy), presumably in order to fit in the images that you added. If you would like to add those images to the article, do so in a gallery format, preferably at the bottom of the article. That way, they do not interrupt the article and the information you deleted remains. Thank you. Softlavender ( talk) 06:05, 25 January 2011 (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. Arctic Night 20:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Just for those interested, here are some diffs of PM800 ignoring requests for discussion. PM800 was repeatedly requested to explain his actions: here, here, here, here and here. PM800 ignored each and every request. Arctic Night 01:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi PM800 - while I was looking through your contribs regarding the Tyler Clementi thing (which I would, by the way, still like a rationale for), I noticed this, this and this. Vandals and other users might write dumb things (or things that might appear to us to be dumb) - we don't respond in kind, or else what does that make us? Arctic Night 01:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello PM800, I'm sure this was only an honest mistake on your part, but your reversion of an IP's edit on Golden Tate, I assume on the pretense of reverting vandalism, actually introduced a factual inaccuracy into the article. I have reverted your honest mistake and added some reliable sources to back up the IP's edit. Arctic Night 00:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello PM800. There is currently a discussion ongoing at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your behaviour. This is just a courtesy note to let you know. Arctic Night 02:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia has just lost over 100 Canadian DYKs I had in the works that could have been taken to GA or FA status thanks to your actions. I hope you're proud of yourself. You've got to think - are your smarmy comments worth the loss of valuable contributors? If you put the wiki before your own pride and ignorant mentality, you'll stop being such a dick and actually responding to people who comment on your talk page. If you put your own pride before the potential for over 100 article creations (read: the good of the wiki), by all means, continue with your comments.
Of course, I don't expect that you'll respond to this (although if you did, I'm sure it would be very redeeming for you... I'm saying this not as an angry editor but as an attempt to look objectively at the matter).
Wikipedia's just lost me as a contributor thanks to the crap you've been pulling. Respond to people, dammit. Arctic Night 03:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bungalow DVD.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 12:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I think that I have worked on the article enough to have the template. If were not for the revamps I did, the article might even be demoted right now. So, I'm helping it in the reassessment, which means that I am helping it get to GA status. Which means I should have the template. I don't mean to be hasty or mean or hurt your feelings. But I feel like you are starting to personally attack me, so please stop. I don't want these discussions to go on any further. I really don't like arguing or anything of the sort. Thank you for support and I hope you forgave me for disdaining your work. I'm truly sorry about that. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 03:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
