DC Comics Universe Animated Original Movies article edit

Per Wikipedia:NFC#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries, I'm going to ask that you please stop adding the image galley to this article. Thanks.-5- (talk) 06:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it does actually. Unless it's listed here it's not acceptable. I also see no reason that this should be in table format. There's no limit on the number of sub-sections in an article, and it makes it easy for users to navigate to the film which they want information about.-5- (talk) 07:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's the same reason you never see album cover images on discography articles. I actually think the table makes things too cluttered. The sub-sections are by far more organized and navigable.-5- (talk) 07:12, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
If you want to bring up film series, it's the same reason you never see film posters for film series articles. Also, the following film series articles are not in table format: Superman (film series), Batman in film, Spider-Man in film, X-Men (film series), i.e. every film series article. Show me a film series article that uses the format you want to use, and I may reconsider. If you can't, then I ask that you please stop.-5- (talk) 07:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
The article that you bring up has an issue tag at the top about not meeting Wikipedia's quality standards. If you don't mind, I'm going to bring this to dispute resolution.-5- (talk) 07:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
The discussion about the dispute is now located here.-5- (talk) 07:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hey, would you object to putting it in bullet format as opposed to table format?-5- (talk) 10:10, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

February 2011 edit

 

You appear to be involved in an edit war, according to the reverts you have made on DC Universe Animated Original Movies. If you edit disruptively including breaking the three-revert rule you may be blocked without further warning.

March 2011 edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. — UncleBubba T @ C ) 21:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

January 2012 edit

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Captain America: The First Avenger. 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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. 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.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:07, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. Cursory glances are not evidence. Everyone thinks because Selina Kyle is in The Dark Knight Rises she will be Catwoman but she may never be referred to as Catwoman the same wya Harvey Dent wasn't referred to as Two-Face. You've now reverted 5 times and have violated this rule, I would suggest you stop because you believe something is something based on external knowledge and not what id displayed in the film.

This is a stock warning available as part of TWINKLE about 3RR, nothing copied and pasted. I also don't enjoy the implication that because I am not an administrator you are going to ignore what is a fair warning for when the administrators will come a callin'. You have grossly violated the 3RR rule because you believe the item is the Cosmic Cube. It has been pointed out to you by two people that it is not. It has not been named such, it has not been used as such, none of its powers have been shown to any extent. It is a cube and it is magic. It is not called nor is it used as the Cosmic Cube in Captain America and as such not only is it wrong to call it such it is misleading and abusive of the guidelines to Easter EGG the link of tesseract to Cosmic Cube and it's unsourced list of fan info. So you are in the wrong here Ganthet and I have given you fair warning to that effect before someone you apparently will bother to listen to comes along. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Then research it and create a section about differences from the source material or whatever. Comic films are hardly known for sticking to the source material all that closely from Spider-Man's organic web shooters, lack of quips, crappy Goblin costume, lack of Gwen, and then some Gwen, or Batman driving a tank. The simple fact of the matter is it is never, ever referred to or used as the Cosmic Cube in the film, Thanos never shows up to claim it, its just an item of power and even if it was called the Cosmic Cube in the Avengers it would still be incorrect to come to Captain America and put it in the plot section because you can't retroactively do that. You can't go to the Alien article after Prometheus comes out and add information that ties the two in the plot section. ANd it is against police to Easter Egg, which is what you are doing with Tesseract (which it is called in the film) because you are unable to call it Cosmic Cube. ANd you know why you can't just call it the Cosmic Cube. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
I have to go along with the other two editors here. The movie never uses the term "Cosmic Cube", so we cannot in describing the plot. Indeed, the only way to know that this item may be analogous to the device in the comic books is through personal knowledge, which Wikipedia can't accept. Additionally, your edit-warring against consensu isn't proper behavior. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply


A few things:

  • The warning templates are fair game for any editor to use when the situation warrants it. And frankly and edit warring warning could have been placed after this edit.
  • And they are warnings - pointing out you are doing something wrong and the possible consequences of what you are doing. Sorry if you take the proper use of warning templates them a threats.
  • WP:3RR is generally the point where an editor can be blocked immediately by an admin. Either coming across an revert after final warning template or as a result of a post to WP:AN/EW. Be very aware that the number of edits and the time limit are not mandatory, you can be blocked for a second revert or for a series of 3 that take place of more than 24 hours.
  • WP:EGG is taken seriously by a number of editors. Please read it.
  • Viewer interpretation of a film has be gone over before. Current consensus with film articles is that it is a type of original research that should not be part of a Wikipedia article.
  • Discussions about the content of an article like Captain America: The First Avenger should take place on that page's talk page not across multiple user talk pages. It's easier for others to follow and comment on. This is also part of WP:BRD that one of the editors pointed to in their edit summary.
  • You may also want to take a read through WP:CIVIL given your initial posts here and here.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Batman Vol 2 1.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Batman Vol 2 1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
