Samurai Champloo

I asked you what you wanted in the way of citations, you ignored me. Now, after a month, and after I spent time looking for things, you come in and delete them anyway. I tried to discuss this once with you, you wouldn't engage me in discussion, you just threatened to delete it. I will continue to revert your deletions until you respond to all the points I raised during our last discussion (search your archive if you can't remember) the only response to which you had was, "cite references. Plain and simple. Otherwise....I will get edit happy.." If you're incapable of having a discussion on the subject with your fellow editors then I suggest we take this to an administrator for arbitration. SpiderMMB 20:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The "two" messages you left me didn't address any of the concerns I raised. I'll repost them for you here (from 21 and 22 April, 2007):

1) There's likely to be little in the way of Wantanabe specifically stating "this is a parody of this," the lone example being his stating that Enter the Dragon and Zatoichi were influences on his work (and even this doesn't mention the specific influences found in Samurai Champloo)...So, I'm curious as to what you think we should do. I could probably dig up cites showing, for instance, who Thomas Savini is and why it's likely that the "Sabini" zombie is a refernce to him. Or to "Hanzo the Razor" which makes it evident why "Manzo the Saw" is so similar. But these seem redundant given that each of the cultural references contain wikilinks where people can see for themselves and decide whether the reference is true or not.

Please note the bolded part where I was "curious as to what you think we should do," and that you never bothered to discuss this with me. That is what I mean by NOT communicating. Also note what I said I thought we should do in order to cite the section, and note that I also went ahead and did this when you never raised an objection to it. Your only response was, "Cite references. Plain and simple. Otherwise....I will get edit happy." Searching through your talk page archives, I see others (specifically, the last post in archive 2 regarding Lupin) have complained about you simply deleting rather than talking in order to reach consensus, which is precisely my problem with you here.

2) With regards to Wikipedia policy:

I read over the links you gave me. This section is relevant:

1. If it is doubtful but not harmful to the whole article, use the {{fact}} tag to ask for source verification, but remember to go back and remove the claim if no source is produced within a reasonable time.
   

The references in question are not that doubtful in my opinion, they are pretty obvious. At the very least, they are certainly not harmful. What are you looking for in the way of a citation? You haven't answered that yet and until you do I can't add appropriate cites.

Again, asking for what you wanted in the way of appropriate cites. You never bothered to answer this -- in fact, it was my last communication with you until now. So I went ahead and cited refernces like I said I would in my first post. The first I heard you complain about it is now, when you deleted the content.

3) Finally, I'm not even saying I don't completely understand your OR claim against some of these statements. But you haven't bothered to discuss it with me. If you aren't willing to discuss it with me on our talk pages or the Samurai Champloo page, then this will simply turn into an edit war. To avoid that, I would ask that either

a) you address the issues I raised above or;

b) if you can't do that, we ask an administrator to arbitrate.

Stig/HSE reports

Totally, the report does not say he is the Stig, but neither does "In the Health and Safety Executive report into the accident of Richard Hammond Ben Collins was named as a person "who worked closely with Top Gear as a high performance driver and consultant."" No conclusion is drawn - that's left up to the reader. Surely you agree with that? If the statement was saying "the Health and Safety Executive report into the accident of Richard Hammond Ben Collins was named as a person "who worked closely with Top Gear as a high performance driver and consultant," i.e. the role of The Stig" -- or something similar I could understand your removal of it. As it is I honestly don't. Mark83 05:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

So would you be happy with something like "In the Health and Safety Executive report into the accident of Richard Hammond, Ben Collins was named as a person "who worked closely with Top Gear as a high performance driver and consultant." However this generalised description of his involvement on that day does not allow a conclusion to be drawn as to his actual role." -- That might be a bit too clumbsy - it's just a 1st draft. Mark83 12:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Very constructive! Mark83 12:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to appear think skinned here or anything but I'm wondering why you engaged in debate and then turned dismissive about my attempts to reach a solution. Had we reached an agreement we wouldn't have IPs adding "A report that was published after an investigation into Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond's high-speed crash seemed to suggest that Ben Collins is in fact The Stig." [1]! Mark83 15:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, sorry. I read that as "let someone who knows what they're doing rewrite it" or the equivalent of! Apologies! You want to go ahead with the paragraph above (12:12 edit)? Mark83 20:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

So, you're the one behind "Pigs over 1000 pounds" being on Front page!

Fair use rationale for Image:1145232285414.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:1145232285414.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 01:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:1148877829550.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WikiscannerScrsht.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WikiscannerScrsht.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Armor Holdings, Inc. edit

Hi. I have three problems with your edit.

1. You just copied and pasted the info which amounted to dumping - because you didn't alter the context from Presidential State Car (United States) to take account of what is already covered at the Armor article.
2. The copy and paste did not include the full reference ""British company agrees to buy Armor Holdings". The Associated Press (in English). 2007-05-08. Retrieved 2007-05-22. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)CS1 maint: unrecognized language (link)" but just the title"<ref name="armor"/>" -- providing a blank reference in the ref section.
3. Removing info from an article is perfectly legitimate. However you included no links to either O'Gara, Hess and Eisenhart, Armor Holdings, BAE Systems Inc. or BAE Systems plc.

All in all very unsatisfactory. Mark83 22:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

No sorry, not a valid excuse. If somebody threw a grenade into my house and I solved the problem by throwing it into yours would you be happy? If someone put inappropriate text into Presidential State Car (United States) you should have taken it up with them, not made mistakes of your own. Mark83 23:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Please try to integrate "Popularity and Influence" on Mythbusters article

User:293.xx.xxx.xx: Your edits to Mythbusters has been reverted for now. You did leave in your edit summary that no attempt to integrate this section has been made. This may be true, but I believe that this section of the article was rather important. I will try to integrate this section somehow into the rest of the article.

Digimon images on Editing of anime in American distribution

Hi! I saw that you were able to combine the Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z images into two new images for that article. I was hoping that you could do the same for the Digimon logo images, too. I would do it myself, but I'm not that intelligent when it comes to technology. I hope it isn't that difficult or will take too much time, so that you will be able to do it.

Inappropriate edit summary

Please be more civil in your edit summaries; stuff like this is divisive and serves only to make people mad at each other. It does not help the project. --Masamage ♫ 21:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Your semantics are confusing, but I won't bother to argue them. Since "bothering to read stuff" is clearly important to you, please take a moment review the guideline I linked above, which explicitly explains why your edit summary was inappropriate. If you have a problem with this rule, you should take it up on the talk page there, not with me. Whether or not he deserved it is immaterial. --Masamage ♫ 21:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Damnit, Janet!

I'm tired. After you removed the OR, Jreferee put it all back. I took it out, and put out an RFC. Two weeks later, I get a single comment from someone that clearly doesn't understand what OR and synthesis are, to wit: "The charge of original research with regard to the title of the song being used as a light-hearted rebuke is groundless. Such usage is self-evident". Care to go defend your original deletion?Kww 04:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of pigs over 1000 pounds

I have nominated List of pigs over 1000 pounds, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pigs over 1000 pounds. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Whitstable (talk) 16:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, apologies. I had AfD'd the article then almost immediately changed my mind - forgot to remove this tag. The problem I had/have is that it does seem to be full of original research, there is no explanation why only pigs over 1000 pounds rather than some other figure. Also, of the pigs in the wild, the first may not be genuine, the second was weighed at less than 1000 pounds and the fourth is an estimate Whitstable (talk) 19:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

List of pigs over 1000 pounds

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of pigs over 1000 pounds, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Stop removing my image from List of U.S. state license plates

You have repeatedly removed my self-made image of my cancelled Louisiana license plate from this page. The image is properly sourced, attributed and licensed as it is self-made. It provides a relevant example of a current Louisiana license plate. There is NO reason you should continue to remove this image. --Mr. Brown (talk) 22:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Fine fine, I'm wrong, sorry. But your mass revision DID take my image off the page; there is no denying that. If you're going to revert to a previous revision that is several days old, perhaps you should check on the revision that you were going to use. There were plenty of revisions that contained appropriate images (and less "SAMPLE" images) which you obviously did not use. --Mr. Brown (talk) 23:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
