I QUIT!

I'm sorry everyone. After participating with Wikipedia for a decade, I have made my last and final contribution. I know, and have been told time and again, that this is a collaborative [to work, one with another] effort. I have always understood that -- but it means that everyone's contributions should have meaning. Over the years, I have uploaded 199 images, created 5 articles, and edited heaven only knows how many articles. One article was deleted within days of its creation. Over time, I have watched as image after image I uploaded have been deleted -- only one quarter of them are still online. My edits too have been undone on many occasions. The last was to Village of the Damned (1960 film). My edit of the plot section of that article had lasted 10 years; then an editor (one of the most active here and with 30-years professional writing experience) cut it down. His reasoning was "way too much unneccessary detail; alays remember the golden rule ---- keep it simple, please." I took his meaning to be that it was too long (word count). The original section was only 720 words in length. I did/do not consider that to be "way too much unneccessary detail"; in fact, when I did the edit, I believed that the balance was about right. But, it seems that is not the case. The edit undid my contributions for the most part. I have had edit discussions in the past, but I have always been talked down to and told (as in my latest exchange) my opinion "gets a relevance score of zero." I did not start an edit-war with this guy -- I only asked him *why* he considered the article to be "too much unnecessary detail." His reply was "I edited the article to improve the quality of writing and to improve Wikipedia. 'Kay? If you don't agree with what I did that's too bad." He seemed to have gotten all bent out of shape adding that anything further from me would be "deemed ad hominem personal attacks, or sheer gibberish, and promptly deleted." He is the first person to address me in so blunt terminology, but his attitude is one I have encountered here with some regularity. With one contribution I submit after the next being put to the Guillotine, I see no reason for me to continue any participation with Wikipedia. So here it is -- I quit. I know, many people here have been understanding and supportive of me, telling me that I "shouldn't take it personally," but I can't help it. I'm sorry. Good Bye. -- The Witless Clod (talk) 19:29, 22 November 2015 (UTC) This User fails to understand Wikipedia's Systematized Logistical Projection of its Balanced Policy Contingency.

Your name

Is your name seriously Jason Palpatine? The Wookieepedian 02:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• No. It's my username. It is from a character I created originally for the Star Wars role-playing game. You must remember, STAR WARS is deeply rooted in mythology. Originally, he was the Emperor's rouge son who joined the rebelion. Later, with the release of the prequel-trilogy, his nephew.
  • Palpatine, because he was supposed to be related to the emperor.
  • Jason, from the hero of Greek mythology who led the Argonauts in the search of the Golden Fleece -- not to mention the lead character of my favourite Harryhausen film.

RE:List of villains in Ben 10

It is generally recommended that you start a discussion before making a major change. Since the page was altered before the discussion, I restored the page to its default condition to simulate the above situation.

The logic behind this is that the page was in that condition for a longer period of time, so one can assume that the page was generally accepted in that state; contrarily, if a page is left post-edit, one runs the risk of putting off readers and wikipedians not used to that revision.
You Can't See Me! 03:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hehe... I guess I did make that above post seem sort of rule-ish. What I meant was, users tend to start a discussion before making a major change, so I edited the page to simulate that based on my logic in the second paragraph. By no means did I intend to imply that was a solid rule. Sorry about the confusion.

On a side note, I'm curious about the discussion you mentioned on my talk page. Did you mean that the Powers That Be sided with your decision even though it was the minority, or did you mean that you were one of the majority that the Powers That Be forsook? You Can't See Me! 04:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Omnitrix

Two reasons:

1. Small sections don't require pictures, especially when inter-wiki links lead them to those pictures.
2. The section is so small that a pic pushes the references over, leaving a huge whitespace.

Hope that answers your questions. Also, please don't type in all CAPITAL letters. It's annoying. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 19:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Operation Red Card

Hi, thanks for your message re Operation Red Card. The reason I removed the current events category was because there is nothing in the article to say that anything has happened recently to merit changes in the article. It is better if the current events is reserved for articles where things have occurred in the previous month. While Operation Red Card is ongoing this is not sufficient to deserve being in that category. Davewild 18:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

User:TTN

I saw what TTN did to the Ben 10 episodes. Terrible isn't it? Some administrator should block him/her right away. He/she doesn't really contribute anything to Wikipedia, only merges articles whithout even discussing it thoroughly. I'm on the verge of quitting Wikipedia. Anyhow, I just want you to know that I support you 100%. The Prince of Darkness 23:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Italics

While's there's nothing wrong with italicizing terms, you do it in quotes, which is pointless. It's used to emphasize a term, which quoting something accomplishes. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 06:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Either or, just not both. That's all you need to do. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 06:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you even bother to read the DAB guidelines?

It's clear that you don't know (or care) about the purpose of dab pages, or the guidelines surrounding them. You also failed to raise the issue on the talk page as requested, instead preferring to cut-and-paste the previous user's misguided justification without bothering to read my response to them.

I've requested a third opinion to contribute to the discussion. Please respond at the talk page discussion for this issue. Fourohfour 15:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Your response

In response to the issues you raised on my talk page

I recived no such request here until this post of yous.

My edit summary in the article history says "Please read the dab page guidelines (linked via your talk page) and discuss on the talk page if you intend putting this back".

Although addressed to Yaharl, it's reasonable to expect anyone un-reverting a change to note any reasons for its reversion in the first place. In addition, the line in question was right above the edit summary of Yahirl's that you lazily cut-and-pasted without addressing the issues.

You might try taking your own advice.

In what respect?

The deletion of data is the more severe error than the prescience of it.

Data is far more likely to be useful if it's reasonably organised. Wikipedia doesn't deal in original information, it deals in presenting other people's information in a useful manner. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; it's organised that way to be useful.

I have always been taught to err on the side of caution.

For the reasons I gave above, it's also wise to be cautious about what we include. That knife cuts both ways, see?

Besides which, much of my criticism was due to information which belonged (if anywhere) in an article, not on a dab page.

It's a small piece of information that a person here may be looking up. Tere is a link to the related article. Such a little piece of info being here is helpful.

Please read this section of "arguments to avoid in deletion discussions".

Even withoiut reading the guidelines page,I know that

You clearly don't "know", that's why you should have read the guidelines.

a disambiguation page is intended to help a user in finding information they may be looking for.

In a specific manner. You clearly still *don't* have a proper idea what a dab's purpose is.

That you are claiming otherwise despite still not having read the guidelines, even though it has already been pointed out *why* your understanding was wrong is both arrogant and downright lazy.

Fourohfour 19:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Further response

Regarding the response left at my talk page

The indented-italics lines were all quotes from your original comment that I was replying to. Specifically, the line:

"a disambiguation page is intended to help a user in finding information they may be looking for"

was your own. Not mine and not a quote from the dab page.

IMHO, it's easier and more logical to keep the thread of discussion in one place, with responses indented following the point/comment they address. You're free to ignore my request (as you did) and respond "ping-pong" style instead (i.e. responses on alternate talk pages). This means I have to explicitly quote in a different style (and "cquote" is too bulky for a point-by-point response). As I said, this wasn't my choice. Fourohfour 10:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Episode images

The template won't display images, and they're not supposed to be there anyway. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 17:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

To elaborate, episode images have been determined to fail fair use guidelines. –Gunslinger47 17:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Separate Wiki

You could if you wanted to, but I don't really see the point. It's something off-this-Wiki that you'd have to do yourself. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 07:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, just so we're clear on that. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 16:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

synopsis needs help at 2001's plot section

If you hadn't noticed (I hadn't), there was significant churn and edit warring over on the 2001 plot section, with an unregistered user making a lot of changes. I suspect the "damage" has been corrected, but the synopsis is still roughly 1200 words. The WikiProject Film guideline on this suggests 400-700 words, and I'm not sure this synopsis can be diluted down any more. Still, if you have the time, you might want to check in on that section and see if you can find an error, or add back in something you thought was significant and worth including. :) David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 14:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Pigs is Pigs

My "problem" is that on Wikipedia, it's reasonable to assume that articles on relatively minor topics with few references shouldn't be given undue weight inappropriate for the subject matter. Pigs is Pigs isn't particularly notable in terms of Looney Tunes shorts, and the trivia-esque mentions of other television series and cartoons (and in particular the webcomic) haven't been verified as being influenced by Pigs is Pigs. It seems to me that the article engages in a lot of speculation and focuses too much on trivial details and supposed connections.

As it stands, from what I can tell the organization of the article is a mess, doesn't read in a formal/neutral manner and is overly long in its descriptions. As such, this is why I placed the notability and cleanup tags on the article. This isn't about a personal dislike of the subject matter, and I'm sorry if that's how it came across. Just some things that I believe need fixing. 76.18.140.105 (talk) 02:26, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Star Trek: The Animated Series

Dear Jason, This is to let you know that I just added David Gerrold's quoted and REFERENCED views on TAS onto the Wikipedia TAS site. (see the Canon section of TAS.) Gerrold maintains that TAS is certainly part of Star Trek Canon and I have to agree. The show was produced under DC Fontana's guidance with contributions from several TOS writers/producers while the Filmation producers actually got Mr. Roddenberry's prior approval to create TAS. So, everything was on the up and up. I honestly don't understand why Roddenberry later repudiated TAS which actually won an Emmy--unlike TOS. Do you think if it was Richard H. Arnold who influenced him to pull TAS from the Star Trek Canon? Gerrold blames an unnamed 'archivist' working under Roddenberry for influencing this decision and I suspect it may be Arnold.

As an Aside, do you feel Paramount's decision to release a remastered version of TAS in late 2006 signals that it is more open towards including more references to TAS or some of its episodes in their Star Trek franchise--or perhaps even placing TAS in the Star Trek canon in the future? In my opinion, Paramount's move here can't just be a money grab; after all, if they hated TAS, they wouldn't have even bothered to remaster TAS in the first place. As I recall, only Paramount can make a decision on the canonicity of certain Star Trek shows since they hold the series' rights. Personally, I like startrek.com's more open approach to TAS where they created a separate online section for TAS--perhaps to recognise its place between TOS and TMP without calling TAS 'canon'. This seems a good compromise. What do you think? With kind Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 03:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

2001 article

Just to let you know that the draft has been put into the mainspace: Interpretations of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I reverted placing the image for the same reason as I stated before. Per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Non-free content images of living people are not allowed in infoboxes per the criteria. Garion96 (talk) 09:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

1. Image is not free content.
2. Image is of a living person therefore deemed replaceable. See criteria #1.
3. Image is not discussed in article. See criteria #8.

To sum it up, despite some exceptions, non-free content images are not allowed in the infoboxes of articles about living people. Garion96 (talk) 09:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Duke Bluebeard's Castle

Hi, nice to meet another fan, and high time the synopsis got some more attention. Re your comment "She does not beg": I would think she does, in her final lines: "Kékszakállú megállj...Hallgass, it vagyok még! Kékszakállu nem kell! Jaj, jaj, Kékszakállu vedd le." Admittedly my command of Hungarian is very shaky! Perhaps there's another way to characterize these? Regards, Sparafucil (talk) 08:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I have the opereta on video. She says nothing as he dresses her and then marches into the seventh room to join the others. --Jason Palpatine (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Which video? I hate it when the subtitles obviously fail to keep up, but it's not that uncommon! Here's a translation of dubious copyright status (hence not linked from the article): [1] Regards, Sparafucil (talk) 00:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The opereta was performed in english without subtitles. I don't remember the exact year it was broadcast, but it was probably 1990 or early in 1991. Information about the video can be foound at http://www.usc.edu/libraries/archives/schoenberg/videv006.htm. It is not yet available on DVD. --Jason Palpatine (talk) 01:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Twice Upon a Christmas

It appears that you recently tried to give Twice Upon a Christmas a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Twice Upon a Christmas (film). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. The proper way to move a page is by using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. I'm surprised that an editor with your experience doesn't know this already.--ShelfSkewed Talk 19:23, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 20:29, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Loring

Hey Jason, do you have any personal photos of Loring that you would be able to upload to Commons, such as buildings or life? The article feels very sterile right now, so if you had something that might show the ski chalet or planes moving, it might add some life to the images in the Commons category. Thank you for your service, and I hope that you have a great day! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:44, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Deletion requests

Done. DS (talk) 01:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

In reply

As for what's wrong with the Book Creator: I have no idea, sorry. Try posting in the technical section of the Village Pump.

As for deleting the pages yourself: you can't. Only admins have page-deletion privileges. However, you can add {{db-u1}} to them, which will tag them as "this is my userpage and I would like it deleted, please". DS (talk) 21:51, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Categories

You are misusing categories. Please do not add "Bibliography" categories to articles about books, that's not how they are intended to work. Bibliography categories are for bibliography articles, such as Arthur C. Clarke bibliography, not for individual books.

Another mistake you are making is adding the category "Category:Books by Arthur C. Clarke" to article already in one of its subcategories, such as "Category:Novels by Arthur C. Clarke". Articles are only put in their narrowest category, they are not propagated up the category tree.

Please don't engage in massive categorization "projects" without taking time to learn how our categorization system works. You make a lot of work for other editors who then have to fix your endlessly repeated mistakes. Yworo (talk) 14:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Don't want to scare you off categories, but do read through WP:CAT and feel free to ask me if you have any questions about how the category system works. I'm happy to help. Yworo (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

The Sword and the Sorcerer

Hello, I couldn't help but notice your recent addition to The Sword and the Sorcerer plot summary. I am unsure of where this comes from, since neither the original version nor the US DVD release contain such a scene with Xusia. Could you please elaborate on your source? Thanks. Iressivor (talk) 23:20, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Answer -- The original version I SAW in theaters contained the scene. Like the "I am the future" line from T2 and "Our parents died in a car crash on the way to Aspen" line from Jumanji, the sequence was edited out afterwards. Sorry -- I just remember it. Jason Palpatine (talk)

Hmm, interesting. I wasn't old enough to see the movie in theaters, but as a lifelong fan, I never knew that such a scene existed. Thanks for sharing! Iressivor (talk) 06:37, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

File Deletions

I saw comments that you made on a few image deletion discussions. I can see that you are unhappy about your contributions being deleted. I want you to remember to not take any of this personally. Most of us have had many, many of our image uploads deleted. Especially those of us (like myself) who work almost exclusively in files. I've probably had over a hundred deleted. My suggestion for you for the future is to make sure that an image meets all of the requirements of inclusion before uploading. If you are unsure, then ask. WP:NFCR or WP:Media Copyright Questions are good places to ask. Or if you are unsure and want someone else to upload the image for you, you can send it through the WP:FFU process where it will be checked and information given before uploaded. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Request for opinion

Hi Jason Palpatine: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics) . Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 05:52, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Wade Eiling as the Shaggy Man.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Wade Eiling as the Shaggy Man.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.
