===Edits to Thomas & Friends=== |
|||
I've reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_%26_Friends&diff=490701503&oldid=490700207 two changes] that you've made to [[Thomas & Friends]] for several reasons: |
|||
* Restoration or [[WP:REPEATLINK]] breach - George Carlin is wikilinked in two sentences |
|||
* Addition of unsourced content - This refers to the text starting with "Just like Starr, Carlin remained fond of the series and was proud to be part of the show", which is unsourced and which has been removed previously. This text is also written in a less than encyclopaedic form, although I haven't removed it because of that. However, it needs to be both sourced in the article, ''and'' rewritten (with spelling errors removed) before reinsertion. Also unsourced is the restored text srting with "Some how, Alec didn't really appear" |
|||
* Reintroduction of spelling errors - "happyiest", "midea", "some how" |
|||
* Restoration of improper capitalisation - "Thomas brand" and "seventh series" are correct, "Thomas Brand" and "Seventh Series" are not. |
|||
* Removal of maintenance templates without addressing the problem identified - (removal of two instances {{tl|citation needed}}) |
|||
It's inappropriate to restore content with so many errors, without fixing the errors and it makes your edits look like [[WP:EDITWAR|edit-warring]]. I see you've been warned about this article before. --[[User:AussieLegend|AussieLegend]] ([[User talk:AussieLegend|talk]]) 23:28, 4 May 2012 (UTC) |

Note that, under Wikipedia policy, if any content is questioned or challenged, it may not be included unless reliable sources are provided to support it. The fact that the content has been there a long time is not a justification for keeping it, and the fact that it has been removed many times is an indication that it is highly controversial, which makes the need to justify it more important, not less. Also, even if there are reliable sources, there may be other reasons why the content may be considered unsuitable. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:35, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Thomas and Friends
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Thomas and Friends, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Blocking users
Hi Bigshowandkane64, I'm sorry but I can't block users because I don't know how to either. But user Snowflake wasn't removing Voice artists he was improving it because the previous version was had so many errors e.g characters that haven't been in the CGI series and voice actors that hadn't been involved the CGI series.

George Carlin
Regarding the George Carlin article: Obviously you're a big Thomas & Friends fan, but there doesn't need to be so much information about his work on one series, which was not a large part of his career. Trivialist (talk) 22:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 9
Hi. When you recently edited Blue Mountain Mystery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Hope (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
The article Glenn Wrage has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
April 2012
Hello, Bigshowandkane64, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Do not remove Biographies of Living Persons prods from articles without addressing the issue, as you did with Glenn Wrage. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the respective talk page instead. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:25, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Thomas and the UK Trip
Until we have a reliable source (not a wikia site, youtube or a blog), we cannot include this on the Thomas & Friends page. I've started a discussion at Talk:Thomas & Friends#Thomas and the UK Trip. Please contribute and see if we can find something before you add it again. --Rob Sinden (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't block anyone -- I'm not an admin. Trivialist (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- Also, I've just started looking over Robsinden's comments, and I tend to agree with him -- wikis are not a reliable source. As you have probably seen here, anyone can edit an article to say anything. Trivialist (talk) 22:03, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I won't ask you that again. But just to let you know I said sorry to him before and were fine now. But I'm not going to do it again. That was the last time I'm doing it, but now no more.
- No problem. Trivialist (talk) 22:52, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Now I accept his edits now, and I agree with your message too. Bigshowandkane64 (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Edits to Thomas & Friends
I've reverted two changes that you've made to Thomas & Friends for several reasons:
- Restoration or WP:REPEATLINK breach - George Carlin is wikilinked in two sentences
- Addition of unsourced content - This refers to the text starting with "Just like Starr, Carlin remained fond of the series and was proud to be part of the show", which is unsourced and which has been removed previously. This text is also written in a less than encyclopaedic form, although I haven't removed it because of that. However, it needs to be both sourced in the article, and rewritten (with spelling errors removed) before reinsertion. Also unsourced is the restored text srting with "Some how, Alec didn't really appear"
- Reintroduction of spelling errors - "happyiest", "midea", "some how"
- Restoration of improper capitalisation - "Thomas brand" and "seventh series" are correct, "Thomas Brand" and "Seventh Series" are not.
- Removal of maintenance templates without addressing the problem identified - (removal of two instances {{citation needed}})
It's inappropriate to restore content with so many errors, without fixing the errors and it makes your edits look like edit-warring. I see you've been warned about this article before. --AussieLegend (talk) 23:28, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
