Kingscrusher, I removed the link per the decision of Wikiproject Chess which you already know. Do not use personal attacks, please.--Ioannes Pragensis 18:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

3RR edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Vishwanathan Anand. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. - KNM Talk 17:27, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

External links edit

Hi. I see you are adding external links to your Youtube videos on several chess articles. Wikipedia requires that external links meet the criteria of WP:EL. I will be removing the links that I think do not meet those criteria. Other people may not agree with my view of these links, and you are welcome to discuss this either on the individual article talk pages or on WT:CHESS if you like.

My response to you Quale: edit

Video annotations on youtube of games of famous players and indiscriminate removal of all past contributions by Quale

Quale has removed all my Youtube video links yesterday which I added, and more from before. Now these were individual playlist links which my friend JessicaFischerqueen was compiling for me. E.g. I am working on a Bronstein playlist here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0DB4C778C29411CA I think my videos are of high quality, and do not breach copyright. I am a Youtube partner, as well as being a FIDE CM (was over 2200 many years back), also a British Regional master, and a Chessbase presenter on Tuesday evenings. My ECF is 199, and FIDE currently about 2150. May I ask for the permission to have my Youtuybe playlists reinstated from the World champion pages please?! Also, he removed my edit correction of an external link to a Capablanca Biography which was originally on chessclub.demon.co.uk (and is now currently a broken link after the indescriminate destuction of all my past Wiki contributions by Quale yesterday). The new Capablanca bio page is at: http://www.gtryfon.demon.co.uk/bcc/culture/worldchampions/capablanca/capablanca.htm because I had to move server from chessclub.demon.co.uk to gtryfon.demon.co.uk. I have done several bios on World champions before Wiki even existed on the Internet at: http://www.gtryfon.demon.co.uk/bcc/culture/culturemain.htm The Capablanca Wiki page in question is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Ra%C3%BAl_Capablanca - was it not noted by Quale that the original current link is currently broken?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingscrusher (talk • contribs) 10:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

If I broke an external link then I made a mistake and you should feel free to correct it. I don't think your videos meet Wikipedia's standards for external links on these biographical articles, but my opinion is not law and you might find it useful to seek some other opinions about this. It may be that others agree will agree with you and not me. I didn't remember this at the time, but I see that your video links were talked about in October 2007 at Talk:Viswanathan Anand/Archive 1#Removal of YouTube video links. I made a comment in that thread and my views haven't changed. Quale (talk) 03:12, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

May 2013 edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to Mac Hack. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of ChessWorld.net edit

Hello Kingscrusher,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged ChessWorld.net for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Kingscrusher. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. SoWhy 11:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Deletion nomination edit

Hello Kingscrusher, wanted to notify you about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tryfon Gavriel (2nd nomination) since you participated in the previous discussion. Your input is welcome, just be aware of WP:COI guidelines. You may want to have a look at the general notability guidelines, the main point of the discussion is whether the subject has gotten significant enough coverage in secondary sources, other points are not likely to change the result. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:44, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
