I didn't have any idea about the (long!) discussion at WP:VG, or that Tripple had even been blocked until today when I found it on a fluke; just had a comment regarding the latter, and I would've thrown in my 2¢ on the former discussion if I'd known. Anyway.
I think there was a misunderstanding re: the I think you used as your rationale for blocking him. Dissident misread the diff history and thought that Tripple was reverting me adding something back on Sega, but once I explained what was going on on the TP, Dissident said he was fine with the change Tripple made.
Honestly I know the nittygritty really doesn't matter; if it wasn't this he would've likely gotten blocked over something else, and the main issue is definitely in that he doesn't communicate properly with others half the time or listen when people say he needs to approach things differently. I've gotten along ok with him so far because it's rare for someone to truly wear on my patience; while I'm not fond of the prickliness Luke or Dissident tended to meet him with, I can understand where their frustration comes from. Not everyone wants to spend all their time trying to get through to him, so he's got to learn. BlusterBlaster beep boop 17:08, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Now he's basically saying he's gonna keep socking if he doesn't get his way. He expects you to referee between him and Dissident when he's already gotten enough WP:ROPE to hang Earth around the equator before getting blocked. This is just ridiculous. BLUSTER⌉⌊ BLASTER 13:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, you stated on your revert of my edit that I have incorrectly cited a news/magazine source despite the citation itself being classed under the {{

Hi. I'm reporting on GTANet.com page progress. I believe the problem with notability and significant coverage is fixed with: 1, 2, 3 as media coverage sole based on GTAforums, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 as media coverage on GTANet content. I understand this is still not an article that would qualify for any special class quality, however the page has enough significant coverage that are not only mentions and the amount of coverage (non trivial) is encouraging. I believe that with addition of these sources article passes the guidelines on wp:n and therefore, I believe you may remove the notability and ref improve notes on top of page.

After viewing many fansite articles here on wiki and reading through guidelines for adding websites to wiki, this is what I concluded: wp:n of website is almost impossible if we don't take its content's coverage in media as wp:n. Especially if we talk about forum. No reliable source writers will write articles that are based on specific forum and just them. Because there is simply no need to do so as most forums are formatted with well known forum servers. (Contrast to this are websites that use own made servers and may have specific reference because of that software). I believe GTANet passes wp:n per this, especially this part: If the individual web content has received no or very little attention from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other web content of its type is commonly notable or merely because it exists. And the individual content of gtanet are mentioned contents such as mods. Cha cha cha dancer ( talk) 19:18, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

I didn't think I'd get the chance to do this before someone else did, but I'm thinking of bluelinking Sonic Dreams Collection of all things, since there seems to be a decent enough amount of RS coverage to base an article on, if a bit of a stubby one maybe. Didn't think I'd get the chance to be a big-shot Content CreatorTM for something so profoundly stupid, but here I am.
Thought I'd ask: d'you know any decently-written articles for parody games or anything similar that'd serve as a good reference point for such an article? Obviously I'll hold writing it to the same standard I should for any VG article, but I'm wondering if there's any really solid articles about a similar kind of game kicking around I should model it after. Any ideas? BLUSTER⌉⌊ BLASTER 12:13, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Serge. Listen, I have something to ask you. Another editor, IllaZilla, has just nominated my user sub-pages for deletion. You would have seen them before, right? Are they really the sort of things that aren't allowed here, regardless of their purpose? 4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 07:35, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Serge. Two days ago you blocked a vandal-only account, User:Diamondcandy. He's returned to make similar vandal-only edits as User:Goldencandy111. (History log here.) Since you're already familiar with the case, I thought it'd be prudent to let you know. With regards, Tenebrae ( talk) 02:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Can you remove adult contemporary? Because it is not a genre, which has been discussed on talk page. 115.164.93.198 ( talk) 00:33, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Sergecross73,
Could you please advise how can I correct the article so it doesn't get deleted?
I've already edited so it sounds less promotional and added links to trustworthy sources, like SoftPedia, CIO and CultOfMac. Am I missing anything?
Thanks! VeVeMe ( talk) 12:56, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
I noticed a few blocks on the IP for block evasion, but you didn't include a mention for who it was. Assuming it's the same person, the user has resumed editing (and as it would happen, edit warring) in the topic area. I've given the account it created an edit warring warning, but I didn't feel comfortable blocking either the IP or the account without knowing if the person was actually even still evading a block. -- slakr\ talk / 09:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I got hacked, somebody put all these things up, they changed my password but I found out what it was and changed it. 2.1 Jibbz ( talk) 14:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
I know who hacked me though, he saw me type in my password, then he changed it, one of my friend got it from him then told me, then I changed it, I hate that guy that changed it, he's not really my friend. Its my fault that he changed it, but I didnt add those information on the "Hybrid Theory: Composition" section, I had nothing to do with it.
Once my friend got the password from him, he immediately told me, then I log on and changed it. At first, I didn't know the section was changed, I thought other people added those information so I left it
But for those missing information "[citation needed]", I look around for those info. 2.1 Jibbz ( talk) 17:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
He's also a Linkin Park fan, I don't write live performance information on en.wiki.org only on the Linkin Park Wiki website, he doesn't know about that site, he saw the info on this site, he asked me to add them, I told him I wasnt allow to do that only if its like a live album thing. 2.1 Jibbz ( talk) 18:05, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

No, my edits are not "genre warrior" edits. I'm not trying to change genres, I'm trying to add sources for the genres that are already there.
