Deaxuma

Surely the pornstar Deauxma being nominated MILF on the year twice in two seperate occasions make her notable within WP:PORNDwanyewest (talk) 20:43, 31 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so, and consensus has run the same way for quite some time. While nominations for the top-level awards may be associated with coverage satisfying the GNG (which is the real standard), downlevel, specialized awards/nominations just don't do that. The outlandish number of nominees in so many categories -- AVN is now up to 15-20! -- makes it very hard to take them as serious indicators of significance. Morbidthoughts has made strong arguments in PORNBIO discussions against having nominations count toward notability at all, and I'm increasingly prone to agree with them.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fred Armisen. 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.
I've performed each and every task required of me by the reverting editors, be it you or the other one. Everything is explained on my talk page and the article talk page. I've been more than cooperative, and you're being tendentious. You are as guilty of this edit war as I am. I've restored the pre-dispute version, per WP:BRD, so let's just continue like the civil editors we're supposed to be, OK? Thank you. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Nonsense. You've reverted 4 times in 12 hours and restored your preferred version over the opposition of multiple editors. 3RR report in process. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 12:13, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XBIZ Award, etc...

edit
  • Look, I don't know what your deal is, but you need to understand some things. Aside from this being the same kind of comment you always seem to make about me, well, two things:
  1. Judging by this entire talk page, you are the last person who should be warning anyone about anything, and
  2. How can I be personalizing the article if I'm not the one who created it?
But while we're on the latter topic, if I'm personalizing anything, it's the fact that whenever another user (or users) happen to share the same point of view that I have, one would think that you would go after all of them; why do you always just come after me? And the reason some of the pornography-related articles I created in the past were deleted is because back then it wasn't clear that many of the users that !voted "delete" just didn't like porn (if you think I'm wrong, you'll notice that the people I think are guilty of this never deny it). This explains why some of said articles have been reinstated with the respective deleting admin's blessings (i.e. Capri Anderson and Darla Crane, although I didn't create the latter the first time). As to why you have been given so many passes boggles my mind, but at any rate, you do not get to bully your way through Wikipedia.

Better source request for some of your uploads

edit

Thanks for your uploads to Wikipedia. There is an issue with some of them, specifically:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the images because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves. Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 02:44, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I removed your prod of Baby Pozzi and added a couple more of reliable sources. She surely fails PORNBIO and she surely became notable thanks to her sister, but she eventually had an independent career and received bunch of significant coverage in reliable sources (major Italian newspapers and magazines, books, journals) and such coverage covers her own life and her own career.

Amanda Filipacchi Controversy

edit

I'm also trying to keep the Filipacchi entry from being vandalized. I've let Qworty know on his/her own talk page that this kind of edit is, yes, contemptible. He/she removed comparisons to various authors, on the grounds that they were unsubstantiated - and it took me no time at all to find, for instance, a Boston Globe review comparing the novelist to Muriel Spark. I don't have time, but you might want to look into the other authors she was said to have been compared to (which Qworty erased). Be prepared to be dismissed as a meat or sock puppet. The fact is that you don't have to be a thug hired by the NY Times or Filipacchi to want Wikipedia's response to this tempest to stay professional. This isn't just about Qworty, either: there seems to be a general circling of the wagons here, in response to the op ed. NaymanNoland (talk) 01:48, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Why should I be banned for adding people to Category:American female pornographic film actors?

edit

Why are you trying to attack me for adding people to Category:American female pornographic film actors? First off, how is that now how we should categorize someone where the opening line is "[name redacted per BLP] (born June 8, 1958) is an American singer and pornographic actress." Secondly, that category was taken to a CfD, and I was actually one of the people in favor of merging it out of existence, but it was kept. So why am I now attacked for it.?John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:33, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I now see that the lead was incorrect. However the above I gave you was what the lead said at the time I recategorized the article. Leads follow articles. It is not a BLP violation to put people in categorizes that the text of the article supports. It is not my fault that the article's lead was incorrect.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
You are utterly and completely wrong here. That claim was completely unsourced at the point you saw it. It was an obvious BLP violation. An editor who comes across an obvious BLP violation should summarily remove it. It should be blindingly obvious that repeating and reinforcing an obvious BLP violation is never, never, never appropriate. 02:20, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
The claim was in the lead. Claims in the lead are almost never sourced. It not having a source appearing in the lead was not a reason to suspect it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:26, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, you were wrong. The claim is sourced from the films she was in. This can be debated whether or not soft-core porn = porn actress, but that's really a discussion for a different venue.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 17:40, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi HW. Hope things are well. Could you please elaborate on "there was a plausible argument of involvement, although a few years distant"?

Statements like these in a prior discussion of Calton's behavior: [3][4].

Playmate Elsa Sorensen

Re. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Playboy_Playmates_of_1956#September

Hi HW,

Please note that I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm merely trying to understand how this works.

I believe the statement: "Elsa Sorensen is officially believed to be the first Playmate who was not from the United States" to be 100% correct and verifiable as per the ref: Playboy.com: Elsa Sorensen. I don't really see how my statement could be regarded as speculative when it's a verbatim quote from the publisher's official stance on the matter.

Whether this is a significant entry or not can certainly be debated (as can any entry, ever, obviously). To me this represents an interesting historic fact, while you might consider it useless trivia.

Edit Warring

edit

You currently have 3 reverts!

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. 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. ...Modernist (talk) 22:39, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Krull

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

You're an experienced enough editor to know better. Your edits are in dispute--for good reason--and instead of simply reverting to the version you desire, you need to explain your edits and your rationale in discussion on the talk page and gain consensus from other editors to support your changes. I've advised you multiple times to take it to the talk page. I am guessing the only reason you haven't done so is because you're aware that your take on the film and its reception is unlikely to garner much in the way of support.

As far as the edits go, your argument that "postmillennial internet postings cannot document the initial reception of this 1983 film" is not particularly supported by WP policy. Despite your claims to the contrary, Rotten Tomatoes includes contemporaneous reviews (as anyone who uses it knows), and all of those reviews are "mixed to negative" in their evaluation of the film. Including the decidedly mixed Maslin review, from which your disputed edits cherrypick some positive quotations and ignore the negative comments. In addition to this, the later, "postmillenial" DVD reviews tend to reference the fact that the film was a massive failure upon release, providing us with the necessary secondary source support for this claim. I even added the review by John Kenneth Muir, which also supports this interpretation.

I'm trying to assume good faith here, but I'm really puzzled by what your ultimate intention is, given that Krull is infamous for having been a complete bomb on release. If you're really trying to challenge that Krull was a critical failure upon release, you need to come up with sources, in both strength and number, that support that challenge but also disprove the case made by the current sources. The sources currently provided are sufficient in number and nature to support the (factual) claim that it received mixed to negative reviews, regardless of your personal acceptance of, or feelings about, them.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Midsumtemp.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Midsumtemp.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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 06:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Reverted edits

edit

Hi Hullaballoo Wolfowitz,

Why did you revert my edits on Carol Campbell (actress)? Especially with the comma after the reading pause (In 2007,) and the comma in the first sentence?

You kept removing the Nudity of children section from this article. But you haven't attempted that anymore. Are you okay with it now? What are all of your concerns with it? 72.216.11.75 (talk) 02:13, 19 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Tengku Fadilah Tengku Kamalden.

edit

As you obviously realised, I deleted as promotional rather than notability. I admit I didn't see your edit, and I've restored because you disagree with my assessment and you don't have a COI. I've moved the page to Tengku Fadilah Tengku Kamalden per MoS, and added to my watchlist. If a source is added, it my be worth seeing if there is a copyright issue, it looks a bit cut-and-paste to me. Anyway, AGF for now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Porn!

So whas the deal, bro? Why are you tirelessly campaigning to have articles on porn chicks deleted whenever possible? Why all the hate? And you should seriously think about archiving your shit too.

Re: Your undoing of my withdrawal

edit

I'm not sure you actually can compel me to un-withdraw my request at ANI for a topic ban. As I said, it seems like ANI might not be the best venue, so I'm going to file an RFC/U, where the format better allows me to explain how particular edits added total fabrications with reference to sources, etc. If you are interested in continuing the discussion, there must be some way of doing so without requiring me to keep defending something I'm no longer proposing in that venue. Is there some sort of non-close note that can be added at the top? Or perhaps a new thread? –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 12:51, 3 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Edit war on Fiona Shaw

edit

Hello. You appear to be involved in an edit war on Fiona Shaw.

While the three-revert rule is hard and fast, please be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring without making 3 reverts to an article in 24 hours. You are not entitled to 3 reverts and edit wars may be slow-moving, spanning weeks or months. Edit wars are not limited to 24 hours.

If you are unclear how to resolve a content dispute, please see dispute resolution. You are expected to cooperatively engage other editors on talk pages rather than reverting their edits. Note that posting your thoughts on the talk page alone is not a license to continue reverting. You must reach consensus.

If you feel your edits might qualify as one of the small list of exceptions, please apply them with caution and ensure that anyone looking at your edits will come to the same conclusion. If you are uncertain, seek clarification before continuing. Quite a few editors have found themselves blocked for misunderstanding and/or misapplying these exceptions. Often times, requesting page protection or a sockppuppet investigation is a much better course of action. Tanbircdq (talk) 21:26, 8 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sandra Bullock

edit

Hi Hullaballo. I wrote that Sandra is often considered to be the biggest female star and you said it is only opinion. I feel the need to explain why I wrote that. Well, I think it is simple, but you may disagree. You will never find an official information that Bette Davis and Katherine Hepburn were the biggest stars of 40s and 50s, or Audrey and Merylin the biggest of late 50s and 60s, or Fonda and MacLaine of 70s, or Meryl Streep of 80s. But still in many articles and histories of film they will be referred as the most stellar. It is unofficial fact that Julia Roberts, with all those blockbusters (Pretty Woman, Nothing Hill, My Best Friend's Wedding, Runaway Bride) was the biggest box office draw of 90s, and that Angelina, with Tomb Rider, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and all the mess with Pitt-Aniston was the most popular actress of 00s. When we talk or read about today's most prominent Hollywood actresses, or, lets say: the most bankable, the best paid, the most popular, Sandra Bullock pops out on the top spot. I didn't say she is officially declared but often considered to be. I hope you got the point in spite of my bad English. Greetings! --BetteDavis4ever (talk) 00:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

You have made what I consider to be useful and prudent edits in the Playmate Lists, so I wonder if you might want to weigh in here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Playboy_Wiki

You removed external links to Playboy Blog, which I too know to be a for-profit affiliate and not a site of Playboy proper. At the same time, you left in place links for Playboy Wiki, which *is* directly related to other Playboy sites. The Playboy Wiki links are now under attack. I hope, but don't assume that you would support leaving PB Wiki links in place. Either way, I think your perspective would be helpful to the discussion at the RS/N.

Help

edit

Could you please help in intervening in the vandalism and trolling of IP adress 86.133.52.20 in Katia Elizarova's page. The user is fluffing the article and putting additional material from gossip and speculations done by the tabloids. Please help me in ammending it as I am new to wiki.

Jessie Lee

edit

Hello HW, I reverted your edits to Jessie Lee for several reasons:

  • 1. None of the articles which linked to Jessie Lee when I first created the article or the ones which link to it now are related to the elementary school.
  • 2. If anyone needs to link an article to the elementary school they can use Jessie Lee Elementary School instead, it's more appropriate for an encyclopedia anyways.
  • 3. A Google search for Jessie Lee yields results for the pornographic actress, not the elementary school.

Give me a valid reason for leaving the redirect to School District 36 Surrey and I'll move the article back to Jessie Lee (pornographic actress). Rebecca1990 (talk) 01:40, 15 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Alice Goodwin

edit

Hello Hullaballo, you mentioned "gross RS/BUndid revision 588117518 by Mightylorddk" and removed the portion of article i've added. Well i added that paragraph with reference and you cant argue that an actress' wiki cant have her body measurement or body modification update. So please kindly dont revert anything without reading the full history, ref and added portion. You not only removed my added portion, also you've removed her personal life's portion too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightylorddk (talkcontribs) 22:38, 28 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Comment in archived discussion

edit

This comment, even before fixing the typo, is not needed. He withdrew the proposal (and gave me credit for prompting the second thoughts). Adding another "off-topic" comment about a proposal which only served to take the initial discussion further off-topic just doesn't make sense to me. I wish you would remove it. (And then give me credit for yet another brilliant suggestion.) Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 05:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

edit

Of all the articles to edit, and of all the articles which result in a revert, this one take the cake: List of Asian pornographic actors. I'd hope that WP:WTAF would be a motivator to remove all the redlinks. But that did not happen in this case. One redlink was removed and one redlink was added. My gosh!

Kristina and Karissa Shannon

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kristina and Karissa Shannon. 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. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 04:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thar's right, you edit, but editors who disagree with you edit war. Don't you have anything better to do than parrot Playboy fancruft? Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:46, 29 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately this is not the first time that you've been warned about this. I also noticed that you were warned by an Admin that I know to be particularly steadfast about this kind of infraction. It's not my preference to use formal processes in matters like this, I prefer to talk it out. I've started a discussion on the article Talk page. I invite you to join in or, if nothing else, withdraw from your unconstructive reverts. Furthermore, I don't care as to what your personal opinion is of Playboy magazine (you're entitled to it regardless), but I do ask you to not be a part of this problem. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...
