Adrian Tomine
Adrian Tomine's page is already tagged for lacking references. Please don't make it worse by making unreferenced, factually incorrect claims. Tomine has used Optical Nerve to serialize his graphic novels Summer Blonde and Shortcomings, but Optic Nerve itself is by no accepted definition of the word a "graphic novel". It is a periodical comic book. Please don't change it again without finding a reference—which won't happen, because a reference supporting such a claim simply doesn't exist.

Stutter (Elastica song)
Quick question at T:DYK re: Stutter (Elastica song). Just respond here or at my wall to let me know when you've had a chance to take a look. Thanks, Khazar (talk) 05:53, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi PM800, thanks for the quick response. The issue I was trying to raise was that the quotation in the sentence "The lyrics are about "the occasional problem of drunken male impotence."[3]" doesn't appear to match the reference that follows it. Could you double-check that this quotation is contained within that source? I didn't see it, and a Google search suggested it belonged to a separate John Harris book, but it's possible I'm just mistaken. Once that's cleared up, I think the hook itself is fine, but since it depends on this reference, I want to make sure it's accurate. Nice expansion on this, btw. Khazar (talk) 06:24, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Repost of Crystal Baller
A tag has been placed on Crystal Baller requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: 
which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. CycloneGU (talk) 01:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
The song has not charted on major charts. This is why I originally put the article up for deletion and why I have placed the speedy tag in this instance. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crystal Baller. CycloneGU (talk) 01:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
As an addendum, information you used in this article can be reused at the album page, especially the bit about the fact that this was originally going to be the album's name as well. I also did a quick source check as a couple rang to me as blogs at first; I'm happy to see this is not the case, but there is still not enough notability for an article, so putting information on the album page is better; it only makes that page better by talking about the songs on the album to an extent. CycloneGU (talk) 01:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of Crystal Baller for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Crystal Baller is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crystal Baller (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.
Posting this as speedy was declined. I urge to consider my opinions before commenting, as a song that doesn't chart on Billboard is often not worthy of an article regardless of the amount of information; this info can improve the album article. CycloneGU (talk) 02:46, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Edit warring
You are reverting my edits with no explanation on List of military blunders. This is not the first time you have reverted my edits with no explanation. If you continue to do so I will take this to a venue like WP:ANI where you might be blocked, since you are clearly edit warring and you have a history of problem behavior.
If you really want to include the edit, you will need to explain why... and also to provide a source, since it's challenged material. --74.138.214.5 (talk) 04:55, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Since you still have not done anything but revert me with a boilerplate message, I took this to a noticeboard: [1]. --74.138.214.5 (talk) 22:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

- Re: this edit
Hey, PM. I apologize for breaking the reference—it was unintentional. However, broken references are automatically fixed by a bot, so you shouldn't have to act on them whatsoever. If you know something I don't (e.g. the bot is down or something) it's still not helpful simply to revert; by doing so, you restored an error in the article. Rather, you can easily fix the broken ref yourself (just bring up the previous revision, copy the reference, and insert it where the broken one is in the current revision), or you can leave a message on the talk page of the person that broke it, and they'll fix it. Generally though, you don't have to worry about it as broken refs are repaired by a bot (I don't recall which bot does it, though). Thank you, Swarm u | t 22:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Handling previously published text
Hi. Another contributor came by my talk page yesterday with a question about the copyright status of Se Ri Pak. While evaluating its history, I realized that in August 2010 you had copied a small amount of content into it from your sources in a way that Wikipedia's policies and guidelines do not permit. This has been over a year, and you may be more familiar with practices here now, but in case not I just need to clarify the problem with edits like this one.
Any time you copy content of that kind into Wikipedia from any other source, you have to acknowledge that the content is copied. If the source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you just have to follow the procedures at Wikipedia:Plagiarism. If the source is copyrighted, as these are, you have to follow non-free content policy and guideline. The latter requires that all copied content be marked as a quotation either through quotation marks or block quote or other standard Wikipedia mechanism for marking quotes that content be not only cited by attributed. Also, in accordance with the guideline, such content should be copied over for the kinds of reasons that support transformative use (one of the standards of fair use). It's not enough that we want to use the words, we need to have good reason--such as to attribute an opinion.
Wikipedia:Copy-paste gives an overview of our approach to handling previously published content. Please consider whether you have copied any other content and, if you have, take steps to either rewrite it or manage it properly. (I have addressed the issues in that edit already somewhat clumsily by transforming the pasted text into proper quotations ([2] This is not an approach that would work if the content copied were more extensive, but with a sentence and a phrase can address the problem easily enough.)
If you have any questions about this, you're more than welcome to come by my talk page. (Ordinarily, I'd watch yours for reply, but I'm afraid that my work schedule these days may cause me to miss it.) Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:42, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Orator Shafer
Hello PM. I have read and enjoyed the Orator Shafer article which is rising to the top of the GA nominations. I don't think you'll have any problems. One thing you might look at is the quote "promising young Philadelphia amateur" in the background section. It's not absolutely clear who used the phrase, so you might want to put the citation right after the close of the quotation marks. Good luck. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:37, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
