Uno (bus company) page

I don't see why the pronuciation is not needed on Uno's page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.224.39.227 (talk) 10:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

@87.224.39.227:The thing is, it's in the wrong place. It should be somewhere else, not in the middle of the article. I know, prove me wrong, but this is my opinion. No other article has a pronunciation guide in the middle of the article. It could be useful, but in the place it was in your edit, it is totally unnecessary.

Macquarie Park edit

Hi, I recently tried to edit the Macquarie Park Aboriginal Culture section What I was trying to do was remove the sentence "Their descendants live on, though their language, social system, way of life and traditions are mostly lost." My wife has aboriginal heritage and she objects to that statement. Seems I deleted more than that. Please forgive me. NorthRyder (talk) 21:38, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

@NorthRyder: Of course, you're forgiven if it was an error. Next time though, use the sandbox (either Wikipedia's or your own). But before you go... check your talk page. There's a surprise for you.

I HAVEN'T REMOVED ANYTHING!!!

I HAVEN'T REMOVED ANYTHING, WHEN I GOT THROUGH EVERYTHING WAS STILL ON THE PAGE, I HAD JUST ADDED A NEW LINK, COMPLETELY RELEVANT TO THE SHOW!!! To a Cartoon Network Fan-site Page Dedicated to the show pertaining to a Fan-Made Soundtrack to the show, since the creator never made one, how am I supposed to get the word out there if you keep removing it, I didn't remove anything, all the original info was still there!!! I even tried to put it at the very bottom of the page and you still claimed that I was removing info. I will make one more edit to the Codename: Kids Next Door Page adding the link back, with photo evidence this time. Contact me at: (Redacted) . Peace! 69.40.23.166 (talk) 14:05, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@69.40.23.166: Explain this. Warning still stands. You have a point though; I did roll back the wrong version... Also, I rolled back only ONE revision. If you want to blame someone for removing your content, blame the right person. I didn't remove any content past what you blanked out. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions).

M. Vulcănescu

Hello!

I noticed for a fact that M. Vulcănescu page in English shares information out of the context and so very incomplete on who really was this figure. It skipped so many important parts of his life aspects and work that I find it insulting to the memory of this great personality. So that is why I left a link towards the Romanian version , the one that shares a much more appropriate light, giving details beyond the political figure (even that one being so distorted in english version). So please take into consideration that this english page for M. Vulcănescu might throw a lot of discrimination on the figure of a man who fought communism and died almost as a saint giving his life for others.

best regards

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Revrting a page that was merged 94.99.230.177 (talk) 10:54, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@94.99.230.177:
Sizzle!

The trout you used to slap another Wikipedian has been gutted, roasted over the coals, and served with tartar sauce.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that, just like the trout in this picture, you have overused your {{trout}}.

You edit-warred with other users. Seek consensus. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 10:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

User Warnings

It would be well advised to allow a person reverting an edit time on their own to notify the reverted user. Thanks for your help with RC patrol! -- Dolotta (talk) 01:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

@Dolotta: You're probably talking about this warning. If so, I did try to revert it myself, but you beat me, even though Twinkle opened up the talk page anyway. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 02:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
  • I don't doubt it. It just makes it look like I have a bad memory and forgot to notify the person I reverted. I'm sure my wonderful spouse would agree with the memory part (smile). -- Dolotta (talk) 02:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Rollback

Have you considered asking for Rollback? I think you would certainly qualify and it comes in useful -- especially on the Special:RecentChanges page. It makes it easier to know which edits on the page are current. I'll certainly vouch for you! -- Dolotta (talk) 02:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

@Dolotta: I could. Someone had it denied because Twinkle was good enough, but I think I'm a different story... It also lets me use Huggle, which seems to be faster than the old RecentChanges -> View Diff -> Twinkle revert -> Warn process. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 05:25, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi TheDragonFire300. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Response to the "critical reception" of "Revival"

Hello TheDragonFire300.

It was never my intent to say that the critics were wrong, my main intent was to have the viewers of the article understand that not every single review of this album was mixed, as many reviewers had many conflicting opinions about the album, thus, me wanting to add that the album's reception was "polarized", as nobody could seem to agree on what parts of the album were good, bad, or in between.

Hi TheDragonFire300,
I think you criticized the wrong individual regarding the edit of Conventional weapon. My edit was a border-line minor change and I would be surprised if it ruffled any feathers. Also, I don't think you reverted it. Clinton.tepper (talk) 21:35, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

User MrLuke485

no Declined
 – ANI report rejected as content dispute only.

Your comment on the incident board ignored the abusive messages this user has been posting, which now include trying to link me with other editors of whom I have no knowledge whatsoever. This editor addresses other editors as "Dear Random Troll". That is abuse. Trying to link editors randomly to other editors is also abusive. Therefore, the incident is in the right place. As far as the content of the article goes, I saw the programmes being discussed. MrLuke485 has publicly admitted they did not, nor were they even born when they were shown.50.254.136.250 (talk) 22:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

I can confirm that, but what 50.254.136.250 is neglecting to mention is that they have no reliable source either to say that Terry Wogan did host the preview show in 1975 and we would very interested to see where they got his information from. To judge a book as fan based is a bit of judgement call. The author, Mr. Roxburgh did state that he collected the information through individual who remembered it well, including staff at the BBC and even credits them for the information. I do feel that when I try, people do not give me the chance to explain my information and then poke fun at me for my misuse of grammar. Yes the Burnett one is ludicrous, but that has been on Wikipedia for aslong as three years, why wasn’t it sorted out before then. I do try and find as much relevant information, it didn’t help when you confronted me on the talk page. I am not a troll, I take my Eurovision work very seriously, I have done for the past seven years, to allow this user to call me abusive is absurd and irritating. Mrluke485 (talk) 22:47, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

@50.254.136.250 and Mrluke485: And this above comment ignores the fact the ANI post was about a content dispute, not a user conduct issue. Furthermore, you, 50.254.136.250 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), broke Wikipedia's rule against personal attacks in your original report, with quotes such as MrLuke485 falls way short of the wiki guidelines, plus, they are now in violation of the 3RR rule and seem intent on making their edit which makes the article incorrect., which accuses them of being short of the guidelines without any consideration for your edits, suggesting a boomerang report against you. Please sort out your issues on the article talk page (not here), or at the dispute resolution noticeboard. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 22:51, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Addressing me as "Dear Random Troll" is personal abuse and falls way short of wikipedia's guidelines. I was thus right to point that out. Issuing a warning that they are in breach of the 3RR rule is not abusive. It is a fact. They are. Naming me as some random editor I've never encountered or ever heard of is abuse. Stating that addressing editors as "Dear Random Troll" is not abuse and thus being called out for this abuse is "absurd and irritating" is as ludicrous as it is absurd and irritating. I could not care less if articles on this site are incorrect. If it's so important to MrLuke to insist a programme he has never seen and was broadcast before he was born is incorrectly identified in an online encyclopedia, then good luck to him. The reality is, the book he is quoting is vanity published by a fan. Self publishing is called vanity publishing for a reason. I do care about being abused and being accused of things that have nothing to do with me. I suspect it's pretty clear the editor MrLuke485 is a sock puppet for TVArchivist, who apparently has been blocked from the site. It makes total sense now.50.254.136.250 (talk) 23:01, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
I'm not going to comment further on this dispute. Please do not use this talk page as a vehicle to promote your dispute. And you are not automatically right on this site. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 04:10, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
