Disambiguation link notification for May 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul Heyman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wall Street (film). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dusty finish is jargon. Jargon is discouraged by WP:Jargon. Putting in dusty finish is against policy.--WillC 06:05, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of PlayStation 3 games

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on List of PlayStation 3 games requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -©2016 Compassionate727^{(Talk)(Contributions)} 16:40, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Sting/Wrestler

Please provide me with a reason for the removal of the content I added, as you didn't give one in the edit summary. Ozdarka (talk) 10:08, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

I am adding my response to your page as well so that you do see that i replied. I apologize for not providing the reason, I honestly thought I had. Clearly at 4am in the morning I forgot but I will be happy to answer you now with more detail. The reason I removed the content was because it was based on rumors from dirt sheet sites that have repeatedly said WWE wanted to bury Sting and anything WCW. There is no proof that this was the case. Sting has said on several occasions that wins and loses mean nothing to him anymore at this point in his career and he was just happy to finally have a Wrestlemania moment after all these years. Sting has never publicly said Vince or WWE wanted to bury everything about WCW or that the match finish was a desire of Vince to reiterate his victory in the Monday Night Wars, those were opinions and rumors mostly stated by Scott Hall. The articles were based on rumors and interpretations from fans and other wrestlers "Scott Hall". Until Sting himself says "Yes WWE wanted to bury me and WCW to show they were the true winners" then they are just rumors and should be treated as such.

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Ozdarka. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

CSD A10

Please do not reapply a CSD A10 that has been contested as invalid, as you did here. CSD is not for discussions, and editors who contest the tag are allowed to remove it. An admin may delete a page tagged with CSD, if it meets the criteria, at any time, despite any discussion occurring at project pages about the topic. Additionally, the A10 criteria states If the title of the page is a plausible redirect to an existing page, it is not eligible for speedy deletion, and should be redirected instead. This is a plausible redirect to Nintendo Switch (In fact, it was previously BOLDLY redirected, but that was contested too), so A10 does not apply.

If you believe the article should be deleted, following a discussion, the proper venue is WP:AFD. -- ferret (talk) 14:30, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Batmobile

I didn't vandalize the article, get your facts straight by reading the Aftershock collection, that Batman used a non-lethal fetid compound to disperse riots with his Humvee. I won't re-add it, but just to let you know the next time you accusing someone vandalizing an article. It is very offensive for the accusation.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 08:14, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

IGC

If IGC is a widely recognized initialism for Instant Game Store, then it should be introduced in the article. And if it's on the IGC disambiguation page, then it should be used in the linked article.

Re: Super Mario

No I knew. I suppose it's fine as is. It explains thoroughly enough somewhere else that he ain’t a central character on that game which is what I was trying to convey. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 14:08, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited PlayStation (console), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PSP.

Leslie Swan moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Leslie Swan, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster _talk 17:03, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Leslie Swan

Hello, Ozdarka. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Leslie Swan, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 23:02, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Super Mario you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 14:21, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Wario (series)

Hi Ozdarka, I reverted your addition to Wario (series) because it appears to be original research (WP:OR). If you can cite a reliable source (WP:RS) that discusses how the two characters' names can be combined, that would be legitimate addition. Otherwise, it's just fan trivia and doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Consider adding it to the MarioWiki instead - that site accepts contributions without reliable sources. Thank you. Andrew Englehart (talk) 19:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Instead of condescending, next time check content before you revert the change. A reliable source was provided in which the names are combined into the word. Ozdarka (talk) 06:35, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

I think you ignored where I wrote "If you can cite a reliable source (WP:RS) that discusses how the two characters' names can be combined, that would be legitimate addition." You cited a video game as a source. All that says is that the word "katana" is used in the game. That's not the same thing. Please discuss before you revert again. Remember this key part of Wikipedia:Verifiability: "It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced." Andrew Englehart (talk) 14:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

You're just being contrarian at this point. The text reads "Their names combine into the word 'katana.'" This is literally just the names Kat and Ana without a space. That's not a claim, it's spelling. The textual format of the encyclopedia comes with the inherent implication that the reader can read. Also, you realize video games are valid sources right? That's why they have citation templates. Hence, the citation of the appearance of the phrase "katana" in the game supports the statement that it is a phrase used. The source is valid. Ozdarka (talk) 15:08, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

The source is valid for the fact that "katana" is spoken in the game. The part you want to add is not mentioned by any reliable sources. If anyone could add any trivia they wanted to any article, even if it's true, you wouldn't have an encyclopedia - you'd have a massive fan wiki. There's a reason for requiring reliable secondary sources beyond just verifiability - there's also the threshold of "Does this belong in an encyclopedia?" If it's just some thought that a fan had and wants to add to an article, then no, it doesn't, even if that thought happens to be true. See WP:SYNTHESIS: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." Andrew Englehart (talk) 15:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

I don't think it's synthesis but can accept that it might not be noteworthy. I didn't write the part of the article in question and have no attachment to it. Ozdarka (talk) 20:01, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Donkey Kong 3 into Donkey Kong. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:35, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Updated Whitewashing controversy: Wolverine

Why does cultural impact deserve its own section and why have you not even moved it to the cast section? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=X-Men_Origins:_Wolverine — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.108.180 (talk) 22:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I moved the comment from Indian Country Today to the cast section. The other sources you cited didn't connect whitewashing to the film, you were the one making the connection, which is synthesis. I didn't write the cultural impact section. Ozdarka (talk) 22:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
