March 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Zhengzhou do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. HXL's Roundtable and Record 22:49, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I re-entered edit on Liszt's Un Sospiro, better written, with factual information. The person who undid my first edit justified doing so my lack of citation. I note that the rest of the article does not have any citations either.

June 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

My well written and researhed edits on Chopin's Nocturnes in film in June 2011 have been mercilessly and unjustly deleted by Jasper Deng.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please see the links I provided above to see how to correctly provide citations, because otherwise we remove your edits. Jasper Deng (talk) 21:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Tigerjojo98, on Jasper Deng's talk page, you asked for some sourcing help. You might want to look at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Citation templates. Mojoworker (talk) 01:53, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not make personal attacks on me like you did on my talk page. Please assume good faith, meaning that you must assume that other people have good intentions behind their actions. I strongly encourage you to refrain from this, because otherwise you will have to be blocked.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:29, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
(Personal attack removed)

It is clear that you did not read the links I provided.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Making reversions can be very much a contribution to Wikipedia and Jasper has corrected a lot of vandalism on Wikipedia. On the other hand, the comments you have made, Tigerjojo98, were inaccurate and definitely strong personal attacks. I suggest you apologize to Jasper for what you have said, and consider this to be a final warning for making personal attacks. Kansan (talk) 05:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Kansan. I will resolve civily my spat with Jasper Deng. I will critique content, rather then a contributor. But believe me, it is hard to hold back indignation when I see thousands of contributions deleted.

I remove contributions because they aren't contributions. Certain things are against our rules, and many, especially vandalism, are not contributions in that sense.Jasper Deng (talk) 16:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

• Emergence of wikipedia dictators, - an interesting phenomena on 'free' encyclopedia.

About administrators

First off, I'm not an admin. Administrators are bound by our policies, and admins can't block users as they wish - you may want to see WP:ADMINNOT. However, yes, many remove vandalism most of their time, even if it's not their main job.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:47, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Advice

Hi Tigerjojo98. I've looked through some of your edits and there's a few wikipedia guidelines I think you should be aware of.

• MOS:OPED. Avoid using words such as "interestingly". Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopaedia; it is up to reader's to decide whether or not something is interesting. Here is an example of one of your descriptions that violated this policy: "...vividly portays life in the Russian winter in all it's snowy splendour." To remain neutrality this simply should have been written "portrays life in the Russian winter." Again, it is up to readers to decide whether it was done vividly or whether or not the Russian winter is splendorous.
• WP:YOUTUBE. Do not use copyrighted youtube videos as references.
• WP:RS. Here is what you can use as a reference.
• WP:Cite web. Please avoid using bare url's and instead format your references using an approved format. As well as looking tidier, this helps prevent link rot.

Only the first word in a sub-section should be a capital (unless the other words are true nouns). I.e the sub-section should be titled "In film", not "In Film". Also instead of saying "the song plays as 7:15 on this episode<reference>, actually state the episode number, i.e Season 2 episode 3. Otherwise if the reference you are using becomes dead nobody will have any idea what episode it actually was.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 23:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Freikorp for fatherly advice. I am still in a learning process. The main thing is, if you see a slight mistake, please correct it to wikipedia standard, rather then deleting it. Audio-visual referencing is always preferable to online citations. Often, online citations are impossible to find for little notable episodes in a foreign film. I think blanket exclusion of youtube or other audio-video reference sourse would be a mistake. And copyright laws are not violated when citing credit "curtecy of ABC Productions" endorsing neither a movie, nor account holder on whose bandwidth the video reference is. I should add that much youtube content is of dubious credibility, but in case of using re-recording of motion pictures as a reference to a song, or pickle-juice drinking would not raise an ire of picture owners. As for use of the colourful language, English is relatively devoid of expressiveness, and it is not easy to find the right word sometimes. There are situations where "enhanced" wording is called for, not excessively, just in the right tone. For leaving an edit bare is like grade-one, ESL textbook, or wikipedia in simple English lol. I recently made a small edit to Deforestation of the Amazon. I changed current "destroyed" to "cleared" (forest), remembering the "neutrality" pillar of wikipedia. Lo and Behold, within minutes, it was reverted back. So, I just left it alone...Tigerjojo98 (talk) 01:28, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

If you cannot find an online citation for something then it should not be included on wikipedia.

WP:Verifiability:

• "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
• "You may remove any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it."

I understand some copyright owners would not care if their material is uploaded on youtube, but how they feel about it is irrelevant. We still cannot use unofficial youtube video's as references. This is not my opinion, this is wikipedia's guidelines. I did not write the guidelines.

I didn't remove any of your content simply because there were errors. I removed them on notability and verifiability grounds. As the guideline states, any content lacking a reliable source may be removed. I choose to do this because I believe wikipedia should be a source of reliable factual information only; trivia should kept to fan sites. Freikorp (talk) 06:33, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

"Trivia" may evolve into encyclopedic content if it is consistent, cumulative and in it's sum presents a clearer picture on the subject. What is encyclopedic content? Some may argue that it is no more than a collection of trivia in chronological or contextual order.

Population decline in Saskatchewan

Would anyone be interested in helping me with a comprehensive article on 'population decline in Ssaskatchewan' as a part of a general trent of 'Western population ageing'?

Disambiguation link notification for December 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Ocean's Eleven (2001 film) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added links pointing to Cha Cha Cha, Caravan, Clair de lune, Misty, David Holmes and John Mercer

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC) Fixed that. Please bot, don't delete it! - it took me more than two hours to create a music section for this film. I saw this film, and heart one of my favourite pieces at the end of the film, - Clair de Lune. And that's all that I wanted to add to the page. But after seeing the reference on international film database, - with seventeen more pieces, I took to enter all of them.
