Sport Tractor

This is interesting that you believe this article is more like "spam". I have not finished adding to this article. Now my question to you is: "Can you clarify what needs to shape up?" and "Will you help me better wordsmith to remove what you believe sounds like spam?". I look forward to your comments for betterment. I couldn't find any articles that you may have supported or generated yourself. I'd like to better understand your point of view. By the way, You like trains, so do I, can I assume you don't (or have no interest in) trucks? This is regarding the comment/review of the article "Sport Tractor" Sincerely--Sanderrl 15:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prod vs AfD

Hello. On the article Bob and George, note that you were using the template {{prod}} which refers to proposed deletion. The way this works is that anyone who feels that the article does not merit deletion is free to remove that template. If you disagree, then the next course of action should be to send the article to articles for deletion instead and where I have now sent it. In any case, please don't reinsert the proposed deletion tag when it has been removed. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 06:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...and there goes the nomination. Leafing through the relevant page histories, though, you never did state your grievances outside edit summaries. Those are great for explaining your actions with particular edits, but for anything complicated they're like arguing on YouTube. *shudder* All parties will just end up talking past each other. If you wish, we can air them and discuss WP practices more productively here, and I can if preferable fetch someone who knows the latter better than me. Unless you don't really care any more, in which case we can nod and go our separate ways. ;) --Kizor 18:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I don't like articles on internet phenonom, for many reasons. That Sprite webcomi, is only notable, IF it is notable at all, for being the first one of many. However, a good chunk of normal internet users have not seen a webcomic outside the Penny Arcade, the Crlt-Alt-Del, the PVP and if we start going into subculture, the VG Cats. Sprite Webcomics are much smaller WngLdr34 15:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saltine cracker challenge

Hi WngLdr34, at the AfD for Saltine cracker challenge you commented "Weak Delete, Merge with Competitive eating. If it goes for a delete consensus, I'll go with the crowd, but I would rather it gets merged". I've since improved the article to the point where I think it addresses your concerns; there is enough material for the article to stand alone. I'll appreciate it if you revisit your recommendation on the AfD and update it as you feel appropriate. Thanks, Melchoir (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe your concerns have been addressed

I invite you to revisit Aaron Krach to see how THIS has been much improved. It has gone though a complete rewrite and numerous sources have been added. The subject now knows and accepts that COI should keep him away from the article. Might you offer any suggestions for further cleanup? Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re Mecha

Apologies for not replying; I've been on a short Wikibreak. Concerning your challenge of my tag, I have detailed some of the article issues on the talk page. I see you've been through and removed some of the more egregious stuff, but the article is still full of unsupported information. The main problem as I see it is that there are apparently no sources that actually take a look at the subject as a whole. Consequently, almost everything in the article comes over as someone's personal opinion. Just to cherry-pick a few examples that are crying out for a source:

  • "Mecha, also known as meka or mechs, are walking vehicles controlled by a pilot..."
  • "Anything large enough to have a cockpit where the pilot is seated is generally considered a mecha."
  • "Perhaps the most well-known example of mecha in Western culture are the Walkers such as the AT-AT and AT-ST from the Star Wars series of films."
  • "The mecha genre, one of the oldest genres in anime, is still alive and well in the new millennium..."

The text reads as an attempt to write an authoritative article without the benefit of any hard information, so it has instead turned into a list of things that may, or may not, be mecha (including some that were written about well before the word even existed!). My honest opinion is that nothing short of an extensive rewrite is needed, but first reliable sources should be found that actually discuss the topic. I still think the article justifies the essay tag, though I won't edit-war to reinsert it. However, if I get the time I may have a go at copyediting and trimming the content to see if I can improve further on your recent improvements. It's an interesting and important niche subject, so I hope we can get the article sorted :) EyeSerenetalk 12:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I clearly haven't explained this very well - I think there may be some misunderstanding over the status of personal knowledge in articles. WP:V explains the difference quite well: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." As a longtime fan of the Battletech universe, I know what I think a Mech is :) However, my personal knowledge is irrelevant; the only thing we can include in Wikipedia is what has been published elsewhere in reliable sources. To take the first example above, the article defines Mecha as "walking vehicles controlled by a pilot"... according to who? You? Me? We might believe we're right, but unfortunately we're not reliable sources. We can say it's common knowledge... but Wikipedia policy insists that we prove it. Similarly, I might think that the Star Wars AT-AT counts as a Mech, but unless there's a reliable source that says it does, it doesn't belong in the article. To include it (and many of the other examples) is to "reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources" - in other words, WP:SYNTH.
I hope this helps you to see where the article is currently going wrong. Personal knowledge is useful in helping us to know where to find sources, and what weight to place on those sources, but unless it really is something that everyone knows (eg the sky is blue, 1+1=2) it shouldn't go into an article. It might help to take a look at other good articles dealing with fictional constructs, like Halo (megastructure), to see the kind of standards that should be aimed for.

Merge discussion

I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas K. Dye as merge. User:Barberio disputed this close and opened a deletion review, which was closed as the admin argued that merge closes are not considered at DRV. I merged the material to Newshounds and redirected the article; Barberio has reverted the redirect, though the material remains merged. A discussion on the merge is at Talk:Newshounds#Merge of Thomas K. Dye; your participation would be welcome. Fences&Windows 01:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Super Robot Wars V into Draft:Super Robot Wars X. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:07, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

WngLdr34 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Good evening everyone.

I am here to appeal my block.

In accordance with the Guide to Appealing Blocks Ie, WP:NICETRY I will break this down into the 3 paragraph line.

1. I believe my block was incorrect as I am not connected to any of the original accounts 

   a.	As per my history of edits, I focus on AFD and sometimes new page work.	
   b.	I find some fields (Ie corporate articles without direct citations) at least according to my understanding items that meet the Articles for Deletion.
   c.	I have also contributed by rescuing the article Dawn Aerospace and merging Cryonic Oxygen and Cryonic Nitrogen into Cryogenic Gas plant, proving I am a proper member of the community.

2. In order to address the concerns I will from now on only edit from my house. 

    a.	I usually would edit from my job. At the time I was not aware that my work has a proxy system.
    b.	This proxy is  intended to anonymize corporate computers to provide cyber security
    c.	I am now aware that Wikipedia policy is not to allow editing on an Open Proxy, and to be safe I will not even log in on that IP.
    d.	I also use a VPN occasionally on my home computer as part of best cyber security practices, but I will not use this at all in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety

3. Evidence of above 

    a.	1 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/WngLdr34&target=WngLdr34&limit=250 () Recent history, including history of work in AFD and Recent Articles
    b.	1 (c) 
       i.	1 (c) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dawn_Aerospace&oldid=1127611100  Dawn Aerospace
      ii.	1 (c ii) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cryogenic_gas_plant&oldid=1127447411 Cryogenic Gas Plant

4. Conclusions. Thank you for your time, and I understand if you do not unblock my account. I just want to make sure I am following any rules and making sure to avoid any appearance of impropriety. I fully understand editing is a privlage and not a right, and I wanted to try to make my case in accordance with the rules. Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 01:11, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I'm inclined to accept on the basis of this unblock request. signed, Rosguill talk 04:07, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, WngLdr34,
I think you might want to reword your unblock request as it doesn't make sense right now as it is. Liz Read! Talk! 01:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am genuinely confused to how I was hit and this process. I have been an editor for years and I guess I will try, but I don’t know what to do here. I just want to clear my account and my good name. Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 11:05, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. Very thoughtful and well put-together. I believe the SPI case was started after an AFD where several editors offered very similar answers. We have a big problem with socking by new accounts in the AFD area so those kinds of "coincidences" are noticed. You might look at the SPI case for more information if you haven't already read it through. Liz Read! Talk! 04:48, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
