Recent edit to Less Than Jake

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Less Than Jake, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Sorry, but if you don't know much about a band, then you really have no business editing it. That the band is named after a dog has been in the article for years, some random user changed it to "a parrot". I don't have to provide a source to revert an erroneous edit.

Re [1], the edit summary said "assume AGF", etc, which was the opposite of jerkwad. Beware jerkwadness when accusing others of it. ― Mandruss  00:48, 16 May 2017 (UTC) reply

The jerkwadishness was in the fact that the user deleted my comment while restoring his own, when they could have just as easily simply added re-added their own and left mine intact. It was an act of spite. Also, without even the courtesy of a ping of notification. I had no idea what happened until reading the section and puzzling over why I didn't see my comment there. TheValeyard ( talk) 00:51, 16 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Nagybörzsöny ‘Warlock’ incident

Hi!

The book given as "source" is a fiction, a sci-fi and there is no trace of the "story" in Hungarian. So this is a hoax, please accept this.

Thank you. -- peyerk ( talk) 19:44, 17 June 2017 (UTC) reply

Sorry about that. This is like the 3rd time in 6 months that I've wound up deleting someone's post with an edit-conflict I had though was resolved. Only on my phone; I don't think I've ever had that happen when editing from my PC. I'm almost tempted to err on the side of caution & just restart the phone next time it happens. Do you know what I need to do to restore my original post? Is it even possible? Joefromrandb ( talk) 20:54, 4 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Just look at the revision here, you can click and drag to highlight your text on the left, and then enter it in again. TheValeyard ( talk) 04:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC) reply
Yeah, I did try that, but in preview-mode, it appeared to still remove the others' texts. I'm sure the error was mine; as far as computers go, I've been about a decade behind the times for as long as I can remember. In any case, Mandruss was kind enough to step in and fix it for me. Sorry for creating extra work for you. Joefromrandb ( talk) 15:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC) reply

GAGA

Valeyard -- On August 3, 2017, you deleted my edits/revisions of the article about the dodgeball-like game Gaga, citing "questionable sources, poor writing." I had edited/rewritten the existing version because it was rife with unsubstantiated claims and unsupported details. And yet you deleted that improved version and reinstated one that you, perhaps, believe to be more accurate, but is, in fact -- by the most basic journalistic standards -- extremely flawed. Please qualify -- with specifics -- why you questioned the sources I included in my version, and why you claimed it to be "poor writing." Also, please let me know what your association is with Wikipedia (e.g., Are you a volunteer? Are you an editor?) Full disclosure: I am a national newspaper columnist who has often written about Wikipedia. I will be writing a piece about this experience, and intend to use whatever response you write here -- along with your Wikipedia name (Valeyard) and your self-description ("Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly") -- in whatever I choose to write. Bruce Kluger ( talk) 03:16, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The existing version cites Michigan Live and the NY Times, sufficient to support the game's Israeli roots. I realize that it is pretty trendy these days to be anti-Israel, especially among academics, but you will have to find more than a single writer at a single magazine to support your "I'm debunking it" attempts.
Regarding "my association with Wikipedia", if you're such a hotshot investigative journalist, then surely you'd know by now that all editors are volunteers.
Regarding "full disclosure", yes. Mr. Kluger, you aren't terribly hard to find when you make your Wikipedia username your real name. I've read gems like At 'Playboy,' I wrote perfect words for perfect bods; glad to finally meet the literary genius behind all those "I'm 34DD and love long walks at the beach" blurbs. Christmas Crisis: Santa Laid Off!, bad photoshopping and all, reads like something submitted at the last minute to a student newspaper.
Regarding "I will be writing a piece about this experience"...where will this appear, exactly? Doesn't seem like something that USA Today or even HuffPo would be interested in. Will it appear on your own blog, brucekluger.com ? The blog that doesn't get enough traffic to garner an Alexa ranking?
Finally, regarding the "I will be writing a piece...along with your Wikipedia name...and your self-description" threat (and yes my dear, it was indeed a threat of retaliatory exposure, allow me to clue you in on something; I am a Doctor Who fan. The Valeyard is a character from The Trial of a Time Lord, and "timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly" is a line from the episode Blink (Doctor Who). So, good luck with writing something meaningful and tangible about me based on that, sport. Anything further you have to say about the Ga-ga article can be said at Talk:Ga-ga. TheValeyard ( talk)

Murder of Seth Rich

Please read the cited article. Just because you don't agree with the point of view of the writer of the Newsweek article doesn't mean you can incorrectly cite a quote.

Removed noticeboard report

I removed my report because it appears you may have believed my post about political affiliation had discussion to do with the far right. It seemed as though you were trying to invalidate my discussion by bringing in another discussion that I did not see as having anything to do with this one. When you followed up with the issue about the page name not making sense even though there was an anchor (even thoughout this is done wikipedia) it seemed and still somewhat seems like you were just attempting to derail the conversation and not dispute the point at hand. Maybe this is true but removed it anyways and will assume I should have communicated further. Please be civil and read through if you are gonna make an accusation.

Alex Jones (radio host)

I would just like you to know why I kept reverting your edits. Firstly, Alex Jones's website is known as Infowars.com, and not InfoWars.com. Secondly, it is still debated whether Infowars.com is truly a fake news site or not, as while it is considered false by liberals, conservatives may see it is reliable. I personally have no opinion on that topic. I would like you to allow me to make these edits. Every875 ( talk) 20:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

1) The site name is styled as "InfoWars" in sources.
2) Many sources describe the site as fake news. Personal opinions of conservatives are not relevant. TheValeyard ( talk) 21:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply
1) Officially, the site is known as "Infowars".
2) Once again, I personally have no stance on the topic of whether it is fake news or not, I would just like to keep the article unbiased. While liberal sources say "fake news", conservative sources say "real news". This is not a personal opinion. Every875 ( talk) 23:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC) reply
Officially, the site is called "InfoWars". You can continue to be wrong if you like, that is your prerogative. Being "unbiased" does not mean that one gets to add up a number of perceived liberal sites and perceived conservative sites in equal measure and then write an article. Articles cite reliable sources, period. The reality of the world is that most conservative sites have piss-poor reputations for fact-checking and accuracy, and are overall barking mad, so they cannot and will not be used. The handful of conservative leaning sites that aren't insane, e.g. the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, are ok to use. TheValeyard ( talk) 23:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC) reply
You can visit the site itself if you like and see that it says "Infowars". I'm not taking stories from their site, I'm just taking their stylization of their site's name. Also, when I say "conservative outlets," I am referring to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. Stop acting like only liberal views are true. Both sides must be added into a page. Every875 ( talk) 00:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply
The prevailing opinion of reliable sources is that the site is fake news, that is the end of this discussion. TheValeyard ( talk) 03:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply
All the sources in the page's citations say "Infowars". And, most news outlets in the U.S. are VERY liberal-leaning. Liberal opinions are not the only facts in the world. Learn how to write without reflecting only YOUR opinion. I'm not a conservative or a liberal, but I can see that you are the stereotypical liberal conservatives talk about.

I entered an opinion into the discussion, have un-watched the page, and that is the end of it. TheValeyard ( talk) 22:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC) reply
Hi. You have been asked on that page to clarify, "un-wokest"? Typo? At any rate can you go back there and clarify? Thanks. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 23:21, 15 February 2018 (UTC) reply

It's useless for you to clarify it, here. If you want the closer to ignore your !vote because you did not know you were asked to clarify it, fine. It's not my question, it's just that your !vote happens to be just after mine. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 03:06, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply
No, I went and told him off, it isn't my job to explain a damned thing to someone whose own opinion on the matter is so blatantly patriarchal-perpetuating. The "wife of" option currently stands at +5 to Oppose, so I'm not at all worried about what a closer will or will not take into account there.

You reverted some edits on Jerry Sandusky because there was 'no consensus' in this discussion.

GAGA

Valeyard -- On August 3, 2017, you deleted my edits/revisions of the article about the dodgeball-like game Gaga, citing "questionable sources, poor writing." I had edited/rewritten the existing version because it was rife with unsubstantiated claims and unsupported details. And yet you deleted that improved version and reinstated one that you, perhaps, believe to be more accurate, but is, in fact -- by the most basic journalistic standards -- extremely flawed. Please qualify -- with specifics -- why you questioned the sources I included in my version, and why you claimed it to be "poor writing." Also, please let me know what your association is with Wikipedia (e.g., Are you a volunteer? Are you an editor?) Full disclosure: I am a national newspaper columnist who has often written about Wikipedia. I will be writing a piece about this experience, and intend to use whatever response you write here -- along with your Wikipedia name (Valeyard) and your self-description ("Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly") -- in whatever I choose to write. Bruce Kluger ( talk) 03:16, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The existing version cites Michigan Live and the NY Times, sufficient to support the game's Israeli roots. I realize that it is pretty trendy these days to be anti-Israel, especially among academics, but you will have to find more than a single writer at a single magazine to support your "I'm debunking it" attempts.
Regarding "my association with Wikipedia", if you're such a hotshot investigative journalist, then surely you'd know by now that all editors are volunteers.
Regarding "full disclosure", yes. Mr. Kluger, you aren't terribly hard to find when you make your Wikipedia username your real name. I've read gems like At 'Playboy,' I wrote perfect words for perfect bods; glad to finally meet the literary genius behind all those "I'm 34DD and love long walks at the beach" blurbs. Christmas Crisis: Santa Laid Off!, bad photoshopping and all, reads like something submitted at the last minute to a student newspaper.
Regarding "I will be writing a piece about this experience"...where will this appear, exactly? Doesn't seem like something that USA Today or even HuffPo would be interested in. Will it appear on your own blog, brucekluger.com ? The blog that doesn't get enough traffic to garner an Alexa ranking?
Finally, regarding the "I will be writing a piece...along with your Wikipedia name...and your self-description" threat (and yes my dear, it was indeed a threat of retaliatory exposure, allow me to clue you in on something; I am a Doctor Who fan. The Valeyard is a character from The Trial of a Time Lord, and "timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly" is a line from the episode Blink (Doctor Who). So, good luck with writing something meaningful and tangible about me based on that, sport. Anything further you have to say about the Ga-ga article can be said at Talk:Ga-ga. TheValeyard ( talk)

It seemed as though you were trying to invalidate my discussion by bringing in another discussion that I did not see as having anything to do with this one. When you followed up with the issue about the page name not making sense even though there was an anchor (even thoughout this is done wikipedia) it seemed and still somewhat seems like you were just attempting to derail the conversation and not dispute the point at hand.

Alex Jones (radio host)

I would just like you to know why I kept reverting your edits. Firstly, Alex Jones's website is known as Infowars.com, and not InfoWars.com. Secondly, it is still debated whether Infowars.com is truly a fake news site or not, as while it is considered false by liberals, conservatives may see it is reliable. I personally have no opinion on that topic. I would like you to allow me to make these edits. Every875 ( talk) 20:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

1) The site name is styled as "InfoWars" in sources.
2) Many sources describe the site as fake news. Personal opinions of conservatives are not relevant. TheValeyard ( talk) 21:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply
1) Officially, the site is known as "Infowars".
2) Once again, I personally have no stance on the topic of whether it is fake news or not, I would just like to keep the article unbiased. While liberal sources say "fake news", conservative sources say "real news". This is not a personal opinion. Every875 ( talk) 23:15, 24 October 2017 (UTC) reply
Officially, the site is called "InfoWars". You can continue to be wrong if you like, that is your prerogative. Being "unbiased" does not mean that one gets to add up a number of perceived liberal sites and perceived conservative sites in equal measure and then write an article. Articles cite reliable sources, period. The reality of the world is that most conservative sites have piss-poor reputations for fact-checking and accuracy, and are overall barking mad, so they cannot and will not be used. The handful of conservative leaning sites that aren't insane, e.g. the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, are ok to use. TheValeyard ( talk) 23:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC) reply
You can visit the site itself if you like and see that it says "Infowars". I'm not taking stories from their site, I'm just taking their stylization of their site's name. Also, when I say "conservative outlets," I am referring to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. Stop acting like only liberal views are true. Both sides must be added into a page. Every875 ( talk) 00:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply
The prevailing opinion of reliable sources is that the site is fake news, that is the end of this discussion. TheValeyard ( talk) 03:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply
All the sources in the page's citations say "Infowars". And, most news outlets in the U.S. are VERY liberal-leaning. Liberal opinions are not the only facts in the world.

*yawn* socking

This is User:Kingshowman. Take it easy, and merry Christmas and all that! Drmies ( talk) 01:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Figures. Thanks. TheValeyard ( talk) 04:06, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Wikitribune

Can you provide me examples of other editors objecting to my edit? If there seems to be a consensus against it I'd be happy to go with it but at the moment I only see your objection. Thanks! Volt4ire ( talk) 04:50, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Jimbo created Talk:WikiTribune for discussions like this. Johnuniq ( talk) 06:06, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply

ZeroHedge

I'm surprised that Zero Hedge diff isn't on our blacklist, it's that unreliable. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 02:15, 24 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Is there a literal blacklist here that can prevent sites from being used, or is this more figurative like the Daily Mail ban? TheValeyard ( talk) 03:12, 24 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Yes, there really is:
On occasion I have needed to use a blacklisted URL, and in such cases one must request permission. For example, on an article about a website that happens to be blacklisted, one MUST use links to that site, and, with limitations, they are allowed in the article itself. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 03:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Interesting, thanks for the info. TheValeyard ( talk) 22:59, 24 December 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Beetstra, you know fancy stuff--is that ridiculous site listed/blocked, and/or how can we get that done? Thanks Dirk, and zalig kerstfeest! Drmies ( talk) 16:55, 25 December 2017 (UTC) reply
We don’t blacklist ‘’because’’ of unreliability, except if there is a significant community consensus exists. We blacklist because of abuse (Broadly construed). Guess this was not abused, only misused (which is generally not enough). — Dirk Beetstra T C 20:38, 26 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Sarah Jane Brown is the woman's name?

You claim: “Sarah Jane Brown is the woman's name”.

What makes you think that? — В²C 05:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC) reply

My dear sir, I read through several of the past name discussions, where you name is so prominent that one cannot help but trip over it in nearly every facet of the discussions. You are boorish, bullying, rude, absolutely obsessed with this topic to the point of absurdity, and I will not entertain side discussions on my talk page with you. I entered an opinion into the discussion, have un-watched the page, and that is the end of it. TheValeyard ( talk) 22:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC) reply
Hi. You have been asked on that page to clarify, "un-wokest"? Typo? At any rate can you go back there and clarify? Thanks. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 23:21, 15 February 2018 (UTC) reply
Are you, like, 50? Do you still MySpace? un- + wokeness. TheValeyard ( talk) 02:36, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply
It's useless for you to clarify it, here. If you want the closer to ignore your !vote because you did not know you were asked to clarify it, fine. It's not my question, it's just that your !vote happens to be just after mine. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 03:06, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply
No, I went and told him off, it isn't my job to explain a damned thing to someone whose own opinion on the matter is so blatantly patriarchal-perpetuating. The "wife of" option currently stands at +5 to Oppose, so I'm not at all worried about what a closer will or will not take into account there. I'm like a Jill Stein voter in Rhode Island, a safe protest vote :) . TheValeyard ( talk) 03:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply

Notice

Seth Rich / Hillary Clinton

You closed this talk page thread, and the editor pushing for inclusion of that material is now forum shopping it to Talk:Hillary_Clinton_presidential_campaign,_2016#Job Offer to Seth Rich from the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Might need to close that too? I WP:INVOLVED myself. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 22:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Hm, that's interesting. I actually didn't close it, looks like User Calton converted my parting comment into a hat/hab thing. Which isn't bad, just unexpected. :) I'll take a look at the other one, sure. TheValeyard ( talk) 23:11, 4 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Ah I should've looked at that diff closer. Anyways, it works effectively. Thanks! –  Muboshgu ( talk) 23:17, 4 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Jerry Sandusky

You reverted some edits on Jerry Sandusky because there was 'no consensus' in this discussion. The discussion, which was originally about the defunct 'Case for innocence' subsection, seems to have died down without reaching an explicit conclusion. Now what? Aerkem ( talk) 21:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Find something better to do than defend a pedophile child rapist would be rather delightful. TheValeyard ( talk) 21:55, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the advice. Beyond Mr Sandusky's case, there is the broader issue of the use of repressed memory therapy. But my motivations for editing this article are irrelevant. Do you have a good reason for censoring this edit? Aerkem ( talk) 19:51, 13 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Silly "warnings"
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boycott of The Ingraham Angle. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges.

Warning is in regard to these two changes/reversions: [7] as well as this edit summary "oh yopu [sic] can go pound sand here, bro.".

Stop being disruptive. Your latest actions seriously look like you're intending to act like a jerk. Enough, already. Wikipedia is not about winning, it's about improving the encyclopedia. I suggest you get to doing that, instead. -- ψλ 18:59, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply

As I said, if you feel badly abut your bad edits, feel free to strike them, like this. My critiques of of your nomination will remain on the discussion page, unaltered by you. TheValeyard ( talk) 19:09, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply
