== Dear uninformed rube == |

The edits I did to Tim Gaines website DID have reliable sources. |
|||
The first was QRZ.COM which is an Amateur Radio database and yes, that is Tim Gaines callsign and yes, that is Timothy Gaines website. |
|||
Now, you either revert that edit back or you will be speaking with my attorney. Your apology will be expected promptly and better be pretty darned heartfelt. |

2003 FIFA Women's World Cup
Hi Walter!
Do you think you could help me with the kick-off times for the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup games? You see, I have only added the times that FIFA has listed, but I have a feeling they are inaccurate, since each city/state in the United States use a different time zone. For instance, some of the times from the 1994 FIFA World Cup group stage articles are listed differently, i.e. Colombia–Romania, Group A, 19:30 on FIFA, 16:30 on Wikipedia, United States–Colombia, 19:30 on FIFA, 16:30 on Wikipedia etc. (I hope you understand what I'm referring to). I would like to do it myself, but I'm not an expert when it comes to time zones. (Since you speak Canadian English, I assume you live in Canada?) Arbero (talk) 13:33, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what the problem is. The times in the article are local times and it appears that's what the official FIFA reports are using as well. How can I assist? Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Do you see the note "All times local (EDT/UTC–4, CDT/UTC–5, PDT/UTC–7)" listed below the table on the 1994 FIFA World Cup Group A page? I want to use a similar note like this for the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup matches, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of time zones Carson, CA, Columbus, OH, Foxborough, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Portland, OR and Washington, DC. use. (Eastern Time Zone or Pacific Time Zone?) If I knew, I would have changed it myself from the local times. Arbero (talk) 17:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- OK. I understand now.
- Carson, CA is the home for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Pacific time zone.
- Columbus, OH is in the Eastern time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/columbus
- Foxborough, Massachusetts is where the New England Revolution play. Also Easter time zone.
- Philadelphia, PA is in the Eastern time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/philadelphia
- Portland, OR is in the Pacific time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/portland-or
- Washington, DC is in the Eastern time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/washington-dc
- I hope that helps. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:44, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- OK. I understand now.

The Bet (short story)
Hi Walter,
The Bet story has a duplicate occurrence of "ponders over scriptures" in the text. I removed one from the text to correct it, but that change was reverted. Is that duplication required?
Thanks,

All right, God bless you!
All right, Walter! I hope you are blessed through the ministry Diante do Trono of Brazil. :D --200.158.2.76 (talk) 23:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
End of Silence - Red album
You may be right, and rules are rules, but for the record, it's probably more metal than rock.

Randall Goodgame
In response to the {{notability}} tag you placed on Randall Goodgame, I have added some content I found in Newsbank and on Highbeam. Please see if this addresses your concern about notability and if so, please remove the tag. Thanks. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 19:37, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- The number of sources is good. The quality is not. It's all local local papers. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- Per WP:BAND, notability may be demonstrated by having been "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." The guideline explicitly includes newspapers and nowhere specifically or implicitly excludes local newspapers. Why do you consider these sources to be of low quality? It isn't like St. Petersburg, FL – just one of the local papers used – is Po-dunk, USA. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 17:04, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- They're low-quality in that they're local pieces. That guidelines doesn't specifically state that only local coverage isn't permitted. There was once such a guideline (or essay or something) but I haven't seen it in several years. Some of it is discussed at Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill. The question isn't whether Goodgame is notable, I believe he is, it's whether the article reflected the subject's notability at the time that I placed the template in the article or not. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:15, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- OK, but if you now believe he is notable, could you please remove the template questioning his notability? The article has changed significantly since you added it. Basically, I just want to make sure the notability concerns have been addressed and that the article is no longer being considered for deletion. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 15:01, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Universe Sandbox ²
I see you added a template there on notability. Where do I have to provide the sources? I mean, where Tetra quark (don't be shy) 23:03, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- In the article. I looked for sources and couldn't find any so best of luck. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:40, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- Right. Well, I have a link to that game on a steam page. The thing is that the game is still under development. In future, there definitely will be links and secondary sources about it. Tetra quark (don't be shy) 04:02, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- Right. Well you should hurry. I will be nominating the article for deletion in about a week's time. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:16, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- Don't do it, man. The game hasn't been released yet, but pretty much like the first version, it will be mentioned on several gaming websites and in other places. Right now, all I can find is the steam page of the game. I think we just should wait a little more. Tetra quark (talk) 02:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- You're missing the point. Notability is the criteria for every article on Wikipedia. If a subject isn't yet notable we can move the existing content to a user's space or just delete it. We don't create articles just in case something becomes notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:56, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Fine, mark it for deletion then. I just don't want to lose the images I uploaded for fair use. Couldn't we move them to the Universe Sandbox article? Tetra quark (talk) 06:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- You could simply merge the content to that article, including images, and when it's released and gains notability, split the article back out. I can show you how to do that correctly if you want, or, you can try on your own and I can clean-up if you make any mistakes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:11, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll give it a shot. Tetra quark (talk) 06:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

You seem to have moved the content but left the article. I placed the redirect. Cheers. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:49, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Coastal Cup
Hey Walter I have a question. Beginning this upcoming NASL season the Coastal Cup (est. 2010) appears to be expanding to include the new Jacksonville Armada.http://www.rowdiessoccer.com/news/detail/uuid/qutwuhnlt7hf1itr4kpr7spdf/nasl-releases-2015-fall-season-schedule#.VMKMJoWAeto Until now it had been strictly a Strikers-Rowdies affair. As such, I just linked it to the larger Florida Derby page. Should I just leave it as is or should the Coastal Cup get its own page in the near future because of the addition of a 3rd team? Thanks for your thoughts in advance. -Creativewill (talk) 18:32, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- It would make sense to move it to a Costal Cup article, but they may have a different opinion at WP:FOOTY. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:58, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Discussion RE the US Soccer Leagues
I'm letting you know that there has been a discussion regarding the US Pyramid: Talk:United States soccer league system#ASL's place in the pyramid. I probably stepped in it by adding ASL without researching that league at all; however, the broader discussion of how to order the leagues that are not sanctioned by USSF is also being included. Would love to hear input from frequent editors of the lower division league and club pages. Thx

Template_talk:Christianity#Once_again:_JWs_and_LDS
Regarding your comments at Template_talk:Christianity, could you please post a form of them at the Topic list here, so that the two different tempates (see Template:Christianity footer stay similar, and so that any WP:CON will be easier to form and verify. Thank you. tahc chat 22:59, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
- why would you ping me on my own talk page?
- Because you have not posted your propossal at the Topic list here-- and I don't know why.
- -- and because you have not said why-- and I also don't know why you haven't said why. tahc chat 16:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- I have no need to discuss it there. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- If you want something different at one template than the other why won't you give a reason for that? tahc chat 18:26, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- The other discussion doesn't seem to be about the template. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:57, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- The which links have always followed the Topic list on this page as it says many places. The talk page (for years) has only been where to put the the links and what images to use. Never which links to use.
- If you mean this this "other discussion" then that is only because neither you nor anyone else has joined it the discussion yet.
- If you are now claiming that the straw poll was humor, then all of your comments are suspect. Please let me know if you really want to accomplish anything real. tahc chat 19:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
War of Ages
How does Metal Hammer fail RS? It's a professional magazine/website used as a source in a lot of articles. Also looking through the article's history, metalcore seems to have been the established genre for a while, before being changed without explanation or source fairly recently. If you disagree with me on adding it to the genres, I suggest you listen to some songs by the band. I couldn't find a more reliable source for this upon a quick Google search, but I'm sure there are reliable sources for it out there, considering the band's similarity to As I Lay Dying or All That Remains etc.--MASHAUNIX 05:10, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- The author is listed. That's a plus. The site does not list its editorial process. That's a minus. The site does not indicate which editors are paid staff and which are user contributed. That's a minus. The site doesn't indicate who the managing editor is. That's a big fail. The problem is that review could be user-supplied and added without fact-checking. I like it, but it still fails RS. You could request that other comment at WP:RSN. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough, thanks for explaining that. However, do you not agree that metalcore should be given the benefit of the doubt in this instance? If you compare War of Ages' music with that of some other bands such as those I've mentioned, who have firmly been established as metalcore, the similarities are striking. And the current genre, Christian metal, is not sourced at all and, as I've said, has only been added to the article to replace metalcore rather recently.--MASHAUNIX 05:20, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not a reliable source either. My opinion is immaterial. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well your opinion obviously isn't immaterial, since you reverted my edit rather and judged that "Christian metal" was a better genre for the band than "metalcore", even though there's no reliable source for that either.--MASHAUNIX 07:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's an opinion. See WP:BRD. You make an edit based on specific reasons. Another editor, for other reasons, decides to revert it. That's when discussion starts. Feel free to take it to RSN. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:08, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Kit Carson
The Kit Carson article was sent to GA nominations a day ro two ago. Sweeping changes to the text (like replacing infoboxes) cannot be allowed at this stage at the risk of "it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute". Take your suggestions for changes to the talk page and gather some consensus. SeeSpot Run (talk) 17:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- You sent to GA after I reverted. And it has to be reverted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
I am the principal editor on this article. You need concensus for your wanton reverts, so take it to the talk page. Gather some consensus. Don't tell me "It must be done!" Please do not revert the infobox. You are allowed three reverts. You've had them. Your name and a description of the sacking and destruction you are wrecking to the article have been reported to the admins' noticeboard. It is hoped that you will be stopped in your tracks before further damage is done to the project. SeeSpot Run (talk) 23:11, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- See WP:OWN and WP:CONSENSUS. Then see WP:3RR. Your opinion that I am sacking and destroying the article is noted. I feel the same way about your edits to the article and it is hoped that you will stop thinking you can edit the way you want when you lay claim to an article. This isn't the wild west. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:56, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- My revert: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kit_Carson&diff=644506789&oldid=644452661 04:14, 28 January 2015
- You reverted without explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kit_Carson&diff=644578661&oldid=644506789 17:27, 28 January 2015
- Your GA nomination: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kit_Carson&diff=644579781&oldid=644579069 17:37, 28 January 2015
- I reverted and requested discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kit_Carson&diff=644584119&oldid=644578661 18:15, 28 January 2015
- So far the discussion has been against excluding. I'm not sure why you feel the need to impose your opinion on the article.
- It is my opinion that you should have addressed the revert before the GA nomination, not as an afterthought and use GA as an excuse. As for GA nomination putting it into some special state where it cannot be changed, that's not in any way rational. If there are problems with the article that preclude it from achieving GA, which I claim this to be, then it should be fixed. An edit war will not help to achieve GA.
