I feel it's a good enough category to discuss on talk pages; not for me to create. I don't know hat the penalty for sock puppets is however as I've been accused of being one falsely I would need to see some evidence. I think DangerousGame mostly wanted opinions on the category; which should be mostly in approval given fictional characters with super human strength is already a category. I've not been making any categories recently. [[User:CensoredScribe|CensoredScribe]] ([[User talk:CensoredScribe#top|talk]]) 04:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC) |

== Categories are ONLY for defining characteristics == |
|||
Please read our guideline on categories, particularly [[Wikipedia:Category#Articles]]: |
|||
"A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of location or region (in the case of places), etc. For example, here: "Caravaggio, an Italian artist of the Baroque movement ...", Italian, artist, and Baroque may all be considered to be defining characteristics of the subject Caravaggio. A category embodies one or more defining characteristics—how this is achieved in practice is described in the following sections." |
|||
While, for example, Hannibal Lecter may have used hypnosis, he is '''''not''''' "commonly and consistently define(d)" as being a hypnotist. Select a dozen sources that discuss Lector at length. Do the overwhelming majority call him a hypnotist? Heck, do ''any'' of them? Now try the same thing with Caravaggio: Do the overwhelming majority call it "Italian", "artist", "Baroque"? |
|||
This is the difference between two characters who use psychology with one being categorized as a psychologist (such as [[Alfred Adler]]) and another not being categorized ([[Batman]]). |
|||
Without this guideline, we would have [[:Category:Fictional princesses who eat pizza left handed]], [[:Category:Obese heads of state with halitosis]] and billions of other categories on ''every'' article. Yes, we can argue that Batman is ''thousands'' of things. However, most of those things are not defining characteristics. - [[User:SummerPhD|<span style="color:#D70270;background-color:white;">Sum</span><span style="color:#734F96;background-color:white;">mer</span><span style="color:#0038A8;background-color:white;">PhD</span>]] ([[User talk:SummerPhD|talk]]) 15:08, 5 February 2014 (UTC) |
Revision as of 15:08, 5 February 2014
This Page is not Censored
I've noticed a lot of people have been counting the amount of times I've been told my edits were not up to standards. Well; you may notice that a lot of respected wikipedia users clear out their talk pages after a while of just one or two suspicious entries; that is not the case on this page. I trust this community to remove information on these pages which is a legitimate threat to peoples safety; other editors should make it a guideline to either completely delete these pages or to leave them alone.
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 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 think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:51, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Please use high quality references per WP:MEDRS such as review articles or major textbooks. Note that review articles are NOT the same as peer reviewed articles. A good place to find medical sources is TRIP database Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lives of the Necromancers
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Lives of the Necromancers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 05:02, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Your edits to Addiction
Hello CensoredScribe, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia and to the Addiction article. Even though Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, it does have various policies and guidelines regarding how we are to edit the work. And as editors we are expected to follow those policies and guidelines and when we don't we can be blocked from editing.
One of these policies is the one that covers the use of primary sources which you can read about here. Basically what we want are reliable secondary sources that summarize primary sources. The edit you made to the Addiction article is a primary source. Readers have no way of knowing if that's a main-stream idea being put forth in that paper or a fringe theory. It is not up to us, as editors, to make those decisions but to rely entirely on what reliable secondary sources state. In order to keep that edit in the article you need to provide a reliable secondary source that discusses the result of that paper.
If you think that your edit belongs in the article then please do not revert me again but discuss it on the talk page for that article. That way other editors can be involved and a consensus can be achieved. What you do not want to do is edit war which, regardless of the merit of your position, will get you blocked as well. If you have any questions or comments you can reach me on my talk page. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 23:56, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Additions to medical articles
Hello CensoredScribe. I thought I should drop a message to explain why I have removed some of your contributions. Almost all investigational work you added is still very much in the experimental stage, and Wikipedia simply cannot be a collection of natural compounds undergoing investigations for medical conditions. Firstly, the vast majority of compounds will never enter clinical trials. Secondly, it gives the impression that these treatments will become available very soon (usually it takes ~10 years, if the drug company is lucky).
In general it is unusual for Wikipedia medical articles to discuss treatments that are not currently approved by regulatory authorities. It is uncommon to discuss investigational compounds that are in phase I and phase II clinical studies.
I hope this is clear, and please let me know if you have any further questions. JFW | T@lk 22:20, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
- I am not opposed to the inclusion of traditional medicine practices on Wikipedia, provided there is an adequate secondary source to support the claims that a particular healing method is practiced regularly by a substantial body of practicioners. The content you have been adding recently does not fulfill these criteria. Please take some time to review WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS, which are the guiding policies of Wikipedia's medical content.

Reliable sourcing is required
CensoredScribe, in this series of edits to Sarin you added surprising claims to this very highly-viewed article, sourced to a very poor source: a 14-year-old, non-peer-reviewed article by a theorist and activist, published in a now-defunct counterculture retail sales catalog. By my count you have received at least six other requests or warnings that you need to please pay attention to Wikipedia's standards for sourcing content, especially when it comes to scientific and medical information. This is the seventh such request or warning. I am not sure what it will take for you to heed these messages and start paying attention to Wikipedia's sourcing requirements, but it really needs to start happening soon, please. Zad68

Relics of the Buddha
Hi CensoredScribe. At the Gautama Buddha article you've combined unsourced info with incorrect "info" which is not in the source you gave. I've removed the unsourced and the incorrect info, and corrected the remaining info. Given your track-record, as reflected in the messages at your Talk Page, I strongly advice you to be careful in your editions, and be faithfull to the sources you give.

Disruptive editing
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Muhammad. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. Your added content appears to be false and defamatory also. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. AsceticRosé 04:41, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- Some pages are very sensitive... Don't be scared-off; your edit was not vandalism, IMHO. Greetings, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 19:11, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- The major article on Leonardo da Vinci is already very long, and it doesn't include any speculation. It gets half a million hits a month, so it is important that readers are presented with verifiable facts. It is a fact that Leonardo understood the camera obscura, along with other optical devices. It isn't a fact that he had anything whatsoever to do with the Shroud of Turin. It is very common that if anything is clever or it can't be determined how it was done, that people think it might have been Leonardo who did it. The Voynich Manuscript is a good example. I wrote an article that collected all the speculation about Leonardo, but it has been deleted.
- More importantly, if you are a signed-in, regular editor, then making serious spelling mistakes in the name of the person you are writing about is not only careless; it is irresponsible. You edited an article used by hundreds of school children every day, and you wrote "Davinchi" instead of "da Vinci", three times. (so it wasn't a typo.) Please be more careful.

You added this text on Nov 15th 2013 "According to Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's 1969 study Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution, distinct terms for brown, purple, pink, orange and grey will not emerge in a language until the language has made a distinction between green and blue. In their account of the development of color terms the first terms to emerge are those for white/black (or light/dark), red and green/yellow" The exact same text existed here [6] on Nov 9, 2013. I assume that you moved this text from somewhere else on Wikipedia? You must state in the edit summary which page it came from by the BY in CC BY SA.

Your edits to copper
Hi guy, when you are reverted as you were at copper you should not immediately go and insert the same thing in the article again. If you do not agree you are expected to take the issue to the article talk page. Please read WP:BRD. SpinningSpark 00:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.Josh Parris 07:03, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
References
Please use high quality references per WP:MEDRS such as review articles or major textbooks. Note that review articles are NOT the same as peer reviewed articles. A good place to find medical sources is TRIP database Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Phlegm bacteriotherapy
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Phlegm bacteriotherapy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something made up, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Red Act (talk) 01:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think you deserved the reaction you got at the Refdesk, but if you don't have anything to cite we really can't have an article about it. It's a fun idea and I encourage you to explore it, but not in article space. Anyway, read WP:GNG and chalk this one up to experience. If you stay here, it's not the last time you'll have an article nominated for deletion. Wnt (talk) 02:51, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- I've taken the liberty of contesting the speedy deletion, after finding some more refs in a hurry. There's not a lot to support this, and I don't think the name is right, and I'd recommend you go ahead and WP:MOVE the article to some name like User:CensoredScribe/Lung bacteriotherapy while you do some reading and researching. I think my changes will avoid speedy deletion, but it will still almost certainly fall to a WP:AfD if you don't userfy it yourself first. Wnt (talk) 03:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Architecture
The article isn't about events, however significant they may be. It doesn't state when bricks were first made, or when the ribbed vault was invented. It isn't a History of architecture. It is about the changes to the discipline and the philosophies.
Can you please rewrite your edit in terms of advancements to the discipline of architecture, i.e. changes in philosophy and practice?
The fact needs to be added to the article History of architecture.

Inappropriate categories
I have to come and ask, can you calm down on the adding of the inappropriate categories to films and TV series, especially in the science fiction area. Over the last month or so I've seen you add dozens of categories to many articles that really aren't appropriate. Blade Runner being about immigration and slavery, artificial utereus category on Bablyon 5, ghosts to Star Wars articles and the list goes on. These categories are in many cases not actually appropriate and in the others not in any way defining or remotely what the article subjects are about. I also notice that many of the categories you're creating as well are being put up for and are being deleted. Some of the categories may be appropriate for a single episode of a TV series but are definitely not for entire shows. So I'm asking if you can be more careful in your choices of category creation and adding categories to articles as it seems to be creating a lot of work for others to clean up and most of the edits are disputed by many other editors and end up being removed. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 22:58, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

- Please stop adding inappropriate categories and implementing original research into the project as with edit.

If you continue then you may be at risk of losing your ability to edit the encyclopedia. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 02:26, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

You may wish to consider whether the inclusion of some characters in certain categories is your own interpretation based on original research. Britmax (talk) 09:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
I just reverted an edit that falls under this to Proven Guilty for reasons I specified on the article's talk page. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 17:31, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Category:Fictional characters with radiation abilities
Category:Fictional characters with radiation abilities, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming.

Categories
Please stop adding categories based on your own synthesis. If, for example, we do not have a reliable source calling a character a "terrorist", do not add a category labeling the character a "terrorist". This has been an on-going problem. Please either stop doing this or discuss the issue here. Otherwise, I will have to start another AN/I thread and I'd rather not have you moving toward a block or restrictions. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Stop making stupid categories altogether. There is no reason to make an "Artificial souls in fiction" category or a "Terrorist" category or a "Individuals recognized by the UK government as terrorists" or "Slave owners". These categorizations are not necessary and are in fact extremely trivial. You have multiple warnings on this page informing you of your poor category creations. So stop voluntary before someone starts an injunction that makes you stop.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:13, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- In addition to numerous editors reverting your additions, sending the categories for deletion and asking you to stop, please remember this thread. Although there was not a clear consensus to block or otherwise restrict you, a re-opening of the same issue for the same reason will likely not end so well. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Fictional abolitionists
Freeing Mudokens does not make one an abolitionist. Abolitionism deals with 1) being part of a movement to 2) end human slavery. Your synthesis would (absurdly) characterize vegans fighting to free cows, chickens, cats and dogs as abolitionists. Please stop creating categories while the AN/I discussion is on-going. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:57, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Previous account
In your attempted end-run appeal on Jimbo's talk page, you directly imply that you've been blocked before. Since this account has no blocks, what was your previous account and why were you blocked? Was the previous account Levineps (talk · contribs)? --Calton | Talk 04:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have more flare than Levineps, that's not a very memorable name. I chose CensoredScribe because it sounded like a super hero journalist, a mysterious wizard, or Demothenes and Locke from Ender's Game. I would have made a much more mundanely named account if I was a sock puppet. CensoredScribe (talk) 05:55, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- Bzzt. Clumsy dodge is clumsy. Try actually answering the questions actually asked instead of spouting non sequiters. To repeat, broken down to make it simpler for you:
- You directly implied that you've been blocked before.
- This account has no blocks.
- Therefore you were blocked using a different, previous account.
- Question 1: What was the name of the previous account under which you were blocked?
- Question 2: Why were you blocked from using your previous account?
- Question 3: Is your previous account still blocked?
- Question 4: If the answer to Question 3 is "Yes", why are you continuing to edit?
- Question 5: Was your previous acount name "Levineps"?
- Question 6: Are you also running the account Tranquility of Soul (talk · contribs)?
- Question 7: If the answer to Question 6 is "Yes", are you aware of the rules regarding sockpuppetry?
If these questions are still too difficult to answer, let me know and I'll use shorter words and more diagrams. --Calton | Talk 15:37, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Ridiculous questions deserve ridiculous answers. The answer is this is my first account. I am aware of what sock puppetry is. What I was referring to was that I was not able to access my account or edit from my IP for roughly one week. If the correct term for this is ban; than perhaps I was banned for a week. That is why I did not reply more quickly to the very first ANI thread. My apologies if I used the wrong term, would this have been a temporary ban I mysteriously underwent? CensoredScribe (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- The explanation for this is simple. When CensoredScribe was taken to ANI previously they made a comment believing they had already been blocked when they had not. I believe this was a misunderstanding and it was pointed out to them at the time, but CensoredScribe for whatever reason believed they had been blocked during that period. At least from my reading of the previous ANI comments. Canterbury Tail talk 00:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Just noticed this edit. I don't understand - what was the point of the edit, and the edit summary, which are apparently unconnected with each other? Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:08, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- My bad, I should have said alphacats; I alphabetized the categories. CensoredScribe (talk) 20:12, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- Righto. It's considered good etiquette if you make a mistake like that to do a null edit afterwards and clarify what was meant in the new edit summary. Misleading edit summaries are often used by vandals to try and sneak them under the radar. I'm not suggesting that's what your intention was at all, but other editors may not bother to take the time to clarify what you meant. Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:55, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to X-23 may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on .

Category creation
I'd suggest proposing categories at WP:Cfd and then waiting for some consensus before creating the categories. It's not an area I usually contribute to, so I can't give you guidance on how long to wait or how many replies you should get before proceeding. NE Ent 22:47, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Categories
Please cease doing anything regarding categories until the thread at WP:ANI has concluded. You should not add categories to pages just because of one instance of a fictional character being defined by that category. It does not help things and it is always based on your personal interpretation of the work of fiction, which is not allowed per WP:SYN.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Also, 166.147.120.166 was used by a banned user. He has been lying to people. I have not been placed under a 1RR restriction.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- 166.147.120.166 doesn't even have a block record much less have been banned. You shouldn't have removed their comment even if it was untrue. Liz Read! Talk! 21:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- I did not say "blocked". I said "banned". A ban is not on an account but the user of that account, and all edits by a user who is banned, regardless of the account being used, are to be removed.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:01, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, who is 166.147.120.166 an account for? Who do you think this is a sock puppet account for? I see it's got a 72 hour block but there is no identification tying it with a banned account. Liz Read! Talk! 02:21, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- I did not say "blocked". I said "banned". A ban is not on an account but the user of that account, and all edits by a user who is banned, regardless of the account being used, are to be removed.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:01, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Help me make a category, expand it, etc.
Well, hello. I see you made attempts to add several categories; many attempts have been undone. I necessitate your assistance in creating Category:Fictional characters with superhuman durability, and include it on sourced entities. Please make this possible for me. Thank you kindly! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DangerousGame (talk • contribs) 15:22, 4 February 2014 (UTC) That sounds like a great category; however it should exclude characters who are invulnerable because of technology like Green Lantern. Unless that character is completely a robot. I'm guessing being able to withstand getting shot with out any damage would be a good qualifier; like kid Goku. CensoredScribe (talk) 15:47, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Given that you have to decide what is or isn't "superhuman durability", the category you are considering creating is synthesis. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:10, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
That same thing can be said of super strength; which is already a category. CensoredScribe (talk) 22:44, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- To review: Numerous editors have found that you have been creating problematic categories. A known sock of a banned editor who is trying to get you in trouble has suggested you create a category. Established editors recommend not creating the category suggested by the banned editor. With all of that in mind, you still think the category is a good idea? - SummerPhD (talk) 03:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
I feel it's a good enough category to discuss on talk pages; not for me to create. I don't know hat the penalty for sock puppets is however as I've been accused of being one falsely I would need to see some evidence. I think DangerousGame mostly wanted opinions on the category; which should be mostly in approval given fictional characters with super human strength is already a category. I've not been making any categories recently. CensoredScribe (talk) 04:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Categories are ONLY for defining characteristics
Please read our guideline on categories, particularly Wikipedia:Category#Articles:
"A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of location or region (in the case of places), etc. For example, here: "Caravaggio, an Italian artist of the Baroque movement ...", Italian, artist, and Baroque may all be considered to be defining characteristics of the subject Caravaggio. A category embodies one or more defining characteristics—how this is achieved in practice is described in the following sections."
While, for example, Hannibal Lecter may have used hypnosis, he is not "commonly and consistently define(d)" as being a hypnotist. Select a dozen sources that discuss Lector at length. Do the overwhelming majority call him a hypnotist? Heck, do any of them? Now try the same thing with Caravaggio: Do the overwhelming majority call it "Italian", "artist", "Baroque"?
This is the difference between two characters who use psychology with one being categorized as a psychologist (such as Alfred Adler) and another not being categorized (Batman).
Without this guideline, we would have Category:Fictional princesses who eat pizza left handed, Category:Obese heads of state with halitosis and billions of other categories on every article. Yes, we can argue that Batman is thousands of things. However, most of those things are not defining characteristics. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:08, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
