False information

IP address 108.18.98.73 is stating incorrect info on such pages like Way of the Samurai and Shinobido[1]. From the looks of it, I don't think he or she is going to stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.82.12.147 (talk) 06:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Banner

Hello from Portugal TD,

I started a translation in my real life (now I am getting near the end), and inserted the banner because I thought my workload would significantly decrease but then did not remove it somehow. Seeing that you are on my case again (I do admit you have a point, albeit), I have now removed it.

Attentively --84.90.219.128 (talk) 16:19, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

• Ah, you have done it for me, and replaced it with another one. Can you please explain to me what does the "In the event of persistent vandalism from this address..." part mean? I don't think I am feeling too comfortable with that bit, in NINE YEARS of editing I have never vandalized ONE PAGE, and have fought off vandalism in more ways than one during my tenure. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

No reply even though I have posed a question politely regarding a serious doubt I have (I sincerely would like to know if I am being accused of vandalism, potentially or otherwise). Fair enough, discussion has been moved to another place because I seriously need to have this doubt cleared up. Don't worry I'm not a wikicoward, your name will be highlighted in the other user's page so that you know just where to direct yourself to.

Attentively --84.90.219.128 (talk) 18:26, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

• Really, stop crying. You know good and damn well I've not accused you of vandalism. Tiderolls 20:55, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

No I did not, I'm not fooling around here, now I do know. I have been here for nine years but I am as dumb as they come as far as the site guidelines go, what did you expect me to think when I read a bit that read (sorry for the redundancy) "In the event of persistent vandalism..."?

Like I told in Mr. Drmies' page (I take it you read the message there), I know you are working for the good of the project, never questioned that, case closed with your reply. Speaking of reply, "No, there are no accusations of vandalism implied" would have sufficed, but you had to go the extra mile with the "Stop crying" bit and the rest.

Before we part wikiways, can you please answer this question so that I do not incur in the same mistake once again? I know that a "retired" banner is for when a person has left the site altogether, but in what circumstances then are "semi-retired" ones acceptable? Thank you in advance --84.90.219.128 (talk) 21:14, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

I've seen your edits and I've no doubt that you have the competency to comprehend the WHOIS template on user talk 84.90.219.128

Use the retired banner as you will; I've already explained my thoughts. I don't feel the need to revisit the issue. I certainly won't revisit the issue on that talk page. The only thing sillier than employing the banner would be edit warring over its use. Tiderolls 21:28, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

• I had/have no intention of edit warring over this (I completely agree) petty issue, I have not removed the new banner since its insertion, I was only asking in what circumstances were "semi-retired" banners acceptable, but seeing I can't get a simple "Semi-retired banners are good for this or that, use them in this or that situation" out of you, nevermind, case closed. And again you doubt my word (I tell you I have no competence to know what that template is for, you tell me I do have, fair enough, what's the point in being an eager student when the teacher does not want to impart?), case closed X2, I will not use any banner (other than the one that currently stands) in any situation from now on, or use them accordingly (i.e. a "retired" banner followed by no more edits whatsoever, since I don't know - and probably won't after this message either - what a semi-retired banner is for).

Sorry for any inconvenience --84.90.219.128 (talk) 21:37, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Spammer

Hi Tide rolls, there's a new spammer out and I'd like you or whoever likes to patrol spammers to watch and revert them. Special:Contributions/83.34.184.5. I think I've reverted most of their additions so far; and I posted a warning, but I don't know how to follow them and I was hoping you, or someone who specializes in anti-spam, could. Thank you.

User:Justice007

Hi TIDE ROLLS. I hope that you've read this. As you can see this article, Justice007's edit was removed by Ohnoitsjamie. This proof that Justice007 is overdoing and he needs to be tranquil. My edit was for good faith. Thanks. -- AHLM13 talk 10:15, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm sure both of you think your version of the article is the correct version. I'm not offering an opinion as to which version is "correct". It's very plain that you have not taken the time to read the policies and guidelines to which you have been directed. Not a big deal really, it's not required. Constructive, collaborative editing is required, however. Please read the policies and guidelines. Tiderolls 17:41, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Invitation

Jackie Evancho

Dear Tide rolls, I had made a contribution to that page back in march. It was changed later by Ssilvers, just deleting what I had wrote. I changed it back a few days ago, and sent him a message explaining why I did that. Maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to do but he hasn't changed it back since which means he probably read my message and was OK with my undoing of the revision.

Another user (Jack1956) different from the one who had changed it originally undid what I did, saying on the revision history that it was a revert to "the last good version" made by Ssilvers. That seems like more of an edit that wants to start a dispute instead of an edit that is trying to make the page better, with the use of "the last good version". This edit that I made originally back in March is not false in any way, as I would know from a first-hand experience. I played with Jackie Evancho in the Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestra on that night in Carnegie Hall. Directly from my memory and from the actual Carnegie Hall website (http://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2013/12/5/0800/PM/Tim-Janis-The-American-Christmas-Carol/) , I listed the other people who performed with her. The only possible reason for deleting this information is to clean up the article, which doesn't really make much sense as it is such a minor edit that it doesn't take anything away from the article, it just adds information. Also, I only added 3 groups/names, which doesn't make the sentence extremely long. I understand that Ssilvers and Jack1956 do a lot of editing and I appreciate that, but I feel that this information shouldn't get deleted. I feel that I worked very hard in my orchestra to get a chance to play with her, as she is truly a great musical talent, and I believe that I should be credited as such. I would really appreciate it if you left that information on there.

If you have any questions or think I am not telling the truth please respond back to me so that I can possibly clear up the confusion. Mattwreich (talk) 16:12, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Mattwreich

As I have noted to Mattwreich, his addition of a list of other performers who performed at that concert is tangential to Jackie Evancho's article. Some relevant information could be added (with a proper citation, of course) to the Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras article instead. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:45, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Asdisis

Hello! A request has been made at WP:RFPP for semiprotection of this talk page, based on what Asdisis is doing there. Obviously semiprotection would do no good; I think what they meant to request was that Asdisis be blocked from his user talk page. Since I see that you were communicating with him, and threatening that you might take that action in the future, I think any decision about a talk page block should be made by you. Could you please reply to the RFPP request? Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Please don't take my comment as any type of criticism, Fortuna. That's why I included "all things being equal".

/* Retirement from the music industry */ He was talking about a break, not completely retiring.

Hi, I don't know how this wikipedia editing thing works, so forgive me for my poor behavior. I don't even know if this a public or private message :D I just wanted to correct the retirement to a break, because I saw something written that isn't accurate. In the source interview he is not talking about retiring, even though the title suggests so. Just the title of the interview article is made to receive more clicks, but he just says he's not at the moment actively making music for public. So, I think you fell into the trap of just reading the sources title, when refusing my correction to John Frusciante's wiki page.

Have the best day Tiderolls

-Pmd — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pandasmustdie (talk • contribs) 15:38, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

No forgiveness necessary, Pandasmustdie, as mistakes here are easily corrected. I did read the source article past the title and the article does indicate, to me,that the artist is retiring. I would suggest you take your views to the article's talk page to determine if there is a consensus regarding the issue. Relevant info found at WP:BRD and WP:Consensus.

Point (Outer Hebrides) - list of villages

hello there; my update to 'Point (Outer Hebrides)' - updating to a sourced, definitive list of villages - got removed by you, inadvertently I think, caught up in some reversion from some 'disruptive editing' relating to very detailed climate info.

User:Lowlihao

Hello, Tide rolls. Just wanted to inform you that User:Lowlihao re-inserted all the upcoming channel lists that you had removed. -- Wikipedical (talk) 01:21, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

And again. -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:56, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Not sure if this is a matter you're still concerned with or whether I should inform a noticeboard, but the user has again re-inserted the channel lists. -- Wikipedical (talk) 11:39, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

• I'm not ignoring you, Wikipedical, I'm taxed for time at the moment. Honestly, I'm approaching the position that this individual's editing behavior goes beyond what the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring can remedy. The Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents would probably be more suited to the situation; I simply do not have the time to compile and present the evidence. You might consider checking WP:ANI for an experienced editor or administrator that posts there regularly. Get their input on the possibility that Lowlihao needs to be forcibly prevented from pursuing their present course. I do appreciate your help with regard to this matter; eventually I will be able to give the matter more attention. For the time being I'll have to rely on the assistance of my fellow editors.

Skip Bayless

Sir or Madam:

I am not intending to engage in an edit war regarding the Skip Bayless entry. Other people are the ones engaged in a war to discredit Mr. Bayless. All I have done is restore his entry to include legitimate biographical content. As you may be aware, Mr. Bayless is someone who in real life has a lot of haters, and by that, I mean people who actually send him hate mail, hate tweets, etc. Over the years, his Wiki entry has been used by these people for the purpose of planting false information about him designed to discredit him. It is my understanding that kind of activity falls outside what is allowed by Wikipedia. I am a journalist myself, and soon to be a published author of a historical nonfiction work, so I am well aware of how to research and properly source biographical information. Last year, I took it upon myself to do extensive research into Mr. Bayless' background and update his Wiki entry with properly sourced biographical information. The deletions that numerous people have made to Mr. Bayless' Wiki entry total more than 5,000 words and seem designed to deny the man factual credit for his accomplishments. Multiple people have objected to him being described as one of the two stars of ESPN2's hit television show, First Take. There can be no debate as to whether is one of the stars. This fact has been documented in independent media reports, as well as in an interview with his boss. These same people objected to the show being described as a hit show, even though it is the highest-rated show on any of the ESPN networks with the exception of live sporting events. The people who object to describing Mr. Bayless as a star and who object to describing First Take as a hit show do so on the basis of NPOV. But that would seem to be a misapplication of the principle of NPOV as I read it. If it is a fact that Bayless is the star of a hit show, describing him and the show as such is not a nonneutral point of view. The facts support describing him as the star and describing the show as a hit show. Others have objected to stating the fact that Mr. Bayless excelled as an amateur athlete and as a student. When you are selected Athlete of the Year and are named MVP of a basketball tournament, you have excelled. When you finish your high school career as salutatorian of your class and earn a exclusive scholarship to a prestigious university, you have excelled. That's not a point of view, that's a fact. So, if by restoring the deleted biographical information that is pertinent and factual, I have violated some policy, I apologize. But I have not done so in order to start an edit war. I have done so only for the purpose of maintaining the factual integrity of Mr. Bayless' entry. I have looked for a discussion about his entry that has been referenced, but have not been able to find it. Even so, I truly believe the people deleting 5,000-plus words from his entry are doing so with malicious intent. There is really no other logical explanation for it. I don't understand why you would allow such activity. But now, I am being threatened with being blocked for merely restoring sections that seem to have been maliciously deleted. Please advise how I should proceed, because Mr. Bayless' Wiki entry has now been diminished and to me, discredited.

Best regards, William

You have been reverted by multiple editors at this article. Continuing to insist on your version of the article without obtaining consensus for your change jeopardizes your editing privilege. Please read WP:Edit warring and WP:Bold, revert, discuss cycle. Tiderolls 15:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

First, it's not "my version", so to be uncharitable, you are engaged in deceit, or if you actually didn't read what happened, simple laziness and ignorance. The consequence is the same in either case, you are warning me, but based on a falsehood. This makes you wrong, but of course you can't see this. Hence any conversation with you based on a falsehood of yours will only get worse for me, since you hold the threat, and opened with it.

Do you disagree with any of that?

I ask because it's possible you are just ignorant, and you didn't actually mean to start a conversation with me with a threat. You just aren't very good with people. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:23, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I see the infamous William has arrived, right on cue. My reversions were actually an attempt to get the people deleting sources and information to use the talk page, but instead we have the old "I will talk only in comments about my reverting other people's edit", which is hilarious, all things considered. Based on past experience here, there is no reason to even try and do anything about people who constantly delete information from Wikipedia, and refuse to discuss it. Don't worry, there will be no more attempts to improve the article. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:31, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Reallly? First? Try formatting your talk page posts correctly. When you've mastered that then get back to me. I'm making an attempt to maintain a constructive contributor. If it's your mission to achieve greater heights let me know. -Tiderolls 12:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you even mean by "formatting your talk page posts correctly". Is there a style guide for this somewhere? Fxmastermind (talk) 17:01, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Rough night, Tide--we finished watching House, which was sad, and then our boy had a little puking episode so neither of us got a good night's sleep. I don't know if I'm going to be 100% today, esp. since the game is at nap time. (Don't tell Volunteer Marek, who's just looking to exploit any weakness.) In other words, if I have to call on you more than some previous Saturdays, I apologize. I'm going to give it all I got and I'm sure you will too. Thanks, and RTR, Drmies (talk) 15:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

If you have to rest your eyelids, so be it, Professor. I got home after the sun rose so I'll not be judging anyone re: their nap choices. Roll Tide. Tiderolls 20:53, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

That was a lot more exciting than I wanted it to be! Drmies (talk) 02:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello Tide rolls. Well does he want different colors "the colors are hard to read", or more extensive hyperlinking "but having a single, 50% font size character hyperlinked to your account". It is a very ambiguous message. W oWiTmOvEs 14:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Also by what authority does he make this request? W oWiTmOvEs 14:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

We were all new once!

I know it's frustrating when new users don't understand all of our rules, even simple ones like how to format a signature, but please try not to be bitey -- we need all the productive newcomers we can get. (Please ping me if you reply) Etamni | ✉ | ✓  14:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

• Clearly "here" as in WP:!HERE. Keri (talk) 14:45, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

That one didn't occur to me, Keri. Thanks for the heads up. And Etamni, for one to be bitey one has to be dealing with someone that is new. Tiderolls 14:48, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

The account is four days old. Of course, it could be a sock or a clean start -- I don't have enough evidence to say that is the case. So far, the user has responded constructively when I explained the "why" of something instead of just using templates and referrals to various rules. Personally, I see a user who who started off on the wrong foot and may now feel like everyone is tag-teaming against him/her with one issue after another. Ultimately, edits to articles will show why he/she is here. :) Etamni | ✉ | ✓  14:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Our opinions will have differ on this one, Etamni. Tiderolls 15:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict)It looks like Floq took care of it.... Etamni | ✉ | ✓  15:09, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
