Sorry about the spoiler...

I'd just seen the film last night and wanted to find some more info about it, when I saw the whole plot described I thought I should put a spoiler warning but didn't know the wiki policy for that. Shame my first edit was reverted within 3 mins of being posted, oh well. I'll have to read more of the rules before my next contribution. :) Nerd biker (talk) 21:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Television

hi neil, i cited The Los Angeles Times using the term "teevy" they are a reliable source. I lived in L. A. in 1980-1981 and you can go to the library and look at back issues from that era, you can verify it if that is a burning desire of yours.Sowff (talk) 04:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)SowffSowff (talk) 04:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Television

Dear Neil:

I would not say it is trivial, as it is an alternate spelling for something that is the primary source of information for a large portion of the world. It it almost as if TV is held as so sacrosanct that any alternate spelling incurs hatred, hostility, disbelief, and antipathy. TV has become a god. Rock bands that do not have pretty lead singers flounder without the ambrosia of MTV's loving glare. Devo failed in part because it would not edit its music videos to please MTV. The Seattle band Tad had an obese lead singer named Tad Doyle and Sub Pop dropped them because they only aired on MTV once or twice on "120 Minutes." The "teevy" spelling once used by The LA Times drops the god down a few well-deserved notches. And, I see the word "emcee" is used fairly often instead of MC. Why is "teevy" not as accepted? It is not as trivial as first meets the eye, Neil.

It is trivial if the term was used by a brief period of time by one newspaper. And the word "emcee" is actually the correct spelling - see [4]. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 14:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Da Kine

What did I do wrong with my entry? Should I delete the German reference to Da Kine which is almost certainly wrong, instead of disputing it with immigration data and personal experience? Should I not have Used my experience as a "native" user of Pidgeon? Of course I am new to the Wiki so I know I made mistakes. I just happened upon the article and notice that I had something to contribute to it and I felt that it was in general weak and had an error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbozon (talk • contribs) 17:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

No disrespect to you: I would like to explain but not on a talk page. Maybe I just see this whole matter differently than you do. It seems like rules don't apply on Wikipedia anymore. Reply to my talk page.Agadant (talk) 02:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

What I wrote is true, look it up. lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.114.249 (talk) 17:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Criminal Justice System

Again, I wrote the truth. In my country, Britain, we have a Criminal Justice System. A Criminal Justice System. Think about that for a moment. It's not the People's Justice System, not the English or British Justice system, but the Criminal Justice System. You think that's by chance? Think about it. Do you think the Government makes mistakes? The only mistake is that you're thinking they make mistakes. When they say criminal justice they know exactly what they're talking about; the criminals are in charge of the justice. That's why it's a Criminal Justice System. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.114.249 (talk) 17:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit war on Vladimir Putin page

Dear NeilN, thank you for advising me on 3RR WP policy regarding edit wars. In my understanding, poorly sourced contentious material on living persons shall be speedily deleted without argument. The 3RR does not apply to such removals. Please see WP:BLP#Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_contentious_material for more details. You are right that in case of doubt I shall seek advice at the BLP noticeboard and I have every intent of doing so. Thank you again for your valuable input. Cfeet77 (talk) 19:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear NeilN, I also see you have been alleging violation of 3RR rule by me. This is at least the comment that you have put to your last revert on Vladimir Putin page. In my understanding this is a serious allegation. May I ask your exact sources to support your claim for violating the 3RR. I will be watching your talk page, or you can put your response to mine. Thank you. Cfeet77 (talk) 19:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

In my understanding, your hints of violating a 3RR applied to edits done in good faith can be understood as a personal attack. This why it is so important for me that you cite your sources and references to support the claim. Cfeet77 (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea where you are getting that edits done in good faith are not subject to 3RR. Please read the warning carefully - it says not to violate 3RR, not that you have violated 3RR (you are at 3 reverts BTW). I've also added comments here [8]. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 02:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Still by performing your revert you reinserted material of dubious nature. I again refer to the WP:BLP#Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_contentious_material policy that you seem to have violated. Please visit my talk page for more details. Cfeet77 (talk) 14:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I am referring to the comment that you have put to your revert on the Vladimir Putin page. It reads: "Undid revision 210158226 by Cfeet77 (talk) this certainly falls within WP:3RR". This can be understood as a hint that the 3RR rule has been violated by the editor whom you are reverting. I am not sure whether the obscure wording of your comment was intentional or due to negligence. If the latter is the case, may I ask you to be more careful with your wording in the future. As I emphasized previously, your obscure wording can be understood as a personal attack. Cfeet77 (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I stand by my wording as a response to your comment that your revert did not fall within 3RR. I suggest you read WP:NPA more carefully as my comment in no way could be construed as a personal attack. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 18:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, sounds fine with me. BTW, I am at 2 reverts, not 3 as you suggest. According to WP:3RR, "consecutive reverts by one editor are generally treated as one revert for the purposes of this rule", and one of the reverts you are referring to is a consecutive combination of two. Cfeet77 (talk) 19:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I also see that you have been more than selective in putting warnings to the talk pages of editors of the Vladimir Putin article. You will generously put warnings of violating 3RR to Putin proponents' pages and avoid putting warnings to Putin opponents' pages for similar (or in fact even more harmful) activity. For this reason I believe that your impartiality is broken. I would appreciate if you address this claim, too. Cfeet77 (talk) 15:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Who else do you feel should be warned? --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 18:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

You can check edits of Muscovite99. I feel he is performing his edits in bad faith and he is constantly attempting to disrupt the atmosphere on the talk page with aggressive tone. I can collect evidence for my words on demand. Cfeet77 (talk) 19:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to get involved in a dispute between you and Muscovite99. This article in only on my watchlist because I reverted some vandalism done to it earlier. If you check my contributions [9] you'll see my activity mainly consists of reverting vandalism and warning editors, removing unsourced info, and re-adding sourced info that was improperly removed (in my opinion). --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 19:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Why would you ask "who else do you feel should be warned" then? I am not inviting you to engage into a dispute with Muscovite99. I think we can deal with the problem of aggressive users without your intervention. Instead, I invite you to be impartial and apply equal and fair policies to all sides. That said, I feel that my claim concerning your broken impartiality is still not addressed. Cfeet77 (talk) 20:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

So I could decide if I wanted to get further involved. I really don't, beyond making sure sourced material stays in if appropriate and unsourced material stays out if appropriate. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 20:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Image credit

Please could you point out the guideline about only showing credit when the author is notable? I'd like to see it so I'll know in the future.

Thanks for unreverting the comment about the servers on YouTube.

Though a shared IP address this is a user who has a personal vendetta against me and undid about 10-15 edits that I made. Just to let you know as you had asked in a comment next to one of your edits, thank you by the way, why this user was reverting all of these edits. It stems from the fact they had continuously vandalized Duncan, Oklahoma for a period of more than a year and a half before I finally moved to stop that person. We argued to one another via our talk pages and the user was gone for the last month as the page was protected.

I will be alleging his calling me a whiner, a hypocrite, and an irritant, and his templating a regular. Each time that I have request he cease his personal attacks, they only have continued.

It is my opinion that he will target other articles I have contributed to and just rip them with no WP:CONSENSUS. If have reported the incident but I am quite disheartened.

Van Morrison setlist

I don't understand why you've deleted this section on the Van Morrison page. The section would have had to be modified every concert if it had been entitled "setlist of Van Morrison's last concert", but I didn't put that. Also, about it being encyclopedic, the section that used to be above it "Band members of some date in June" is just as encyclopedic as what I put, so I suggest that if the section I wrote was deleted that section should be as well. I also put a reference to a very reliable Van Morrison website on it, that makes it much more reliable than the band members section.--Kitchen roll (talk) 19:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Click on the "James Max" link on the left of the podcast screen and then select the podcast of the date shown. Messy, admittedly, but verifiable. I can send you an audio clip of the relevant section if it helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.254.246 (talk) 16:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

The other citation you asked about - was it to support the abrasive persona or the generous nature? The diabetes section could be referenced to podcasts again, but I'll see if it's in any of his LBC blogs to make it easier to verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.254.246 (talk) 16:47, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

The diabetes reference has been added and the section restored now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.254.246 (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
