QValintyne

Thanks!

Thank you for the barnstar. I appreciated your message on the talkpage, and I realized that I had been in error when I removed the IMDb link. I remove IMDb links so often, I have gotten to the point that I do not even think about it. In the future, I will give it more thought. Thanks again. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 21:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The Dark Knight Rises

Discussion needs to take place on the article talk page, not in edit summaries. When you observe content being added and removed repeatedly, your first move should be to the article talk page. One editor has been blocked for edit warring on this point already and further reversion will result in page protection. Tiderolls 02:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• More than likely you missed the header on my talk page requesting that discussions take place in a single location. Otherwise, we end up like this; me posting a second message with no intervening response on your part. Your point ("Discussion had already ocurred amongst the edit summaries") does not help you; in fact, there was an ongoing talk page discussion when you reverted. Even if it were true, the fact that others are engaging in unconstructive behaviors is not an excuse for one to join in the melee. Please acquaint yourself with Wikipedia:Edit warring. Regards Tiderolls 03:28, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

It may not be an "excuse," but it doesn't change the fact that it happened and is now remedied. I'm well informed on what "edit warring" is. I only reverted the edit once. I didn't continually assault the "undo" button.

There's no reason to be snide. :P QValintyne (talk) 03:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

No, we cannot change the past. My hope was to influence the future. BTW, one can edit war without reaching a designated number of edits. Perhaps you are not as well informed as you believe. Tiderolls 03:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't see how one revert constitutes as "warring" on my part, but whatever. QValintyne (talk) 04:17, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, I believe I'm protected by the three-revert rule as it states a single editor should not revert any edits more than 3 times within a 24 hour period. QValintyne (talk) 04:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

The last sentence in the second paragraph: The three revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly, but it is not a definition of what "edit warring" means, and it is perfectly possible to edit war without breaking the three revert rule, or even coming close to doing so. If I thought you were edit warring you would be blocked now. I am attempting to help you avoid problems in the future. You may accept my advice or ignore it at your convenience. Tiderolls 04:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I still fail to see where I violated anything. I abided by the "good-faith" rule and I thought my edit summary was appropriate in that respect. I felt the attacks in the edit summaries were getting quite personal and probably should have been addressed on their own, but the situation has since been resolved.

Please don't think that I don't appreciate your advice. I'm relatively fresh here so it's good to get some insight from others. I apologize if I've come off as hostile or defensive. QValintyne (talk) 04:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Silent Hill

Thank you. It does seem to attract a long-term assault of particular vandalism. Its almost always involving adding cast who aren't in it for whatever reason. You'd think people who know who those characters are (and they must, to be adding them) would be fans and so would want to NOT be a detriment, but who can explain the mentality of some IPs. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of purposeful misdirects (like Miley Cyrus or Ashley Tisdale as Heather) or some odd fan casting (like Owen Wilson as Murphy) spewing up on occasions, but man... I don't get it either. There was a mini-debate about the fact of Sean Bean's casting, but fans of the series know about the plot twist in Silent Hill 3 and are almost certain the same one will be implemented in the film. It's always great to have a source, however. Keep up the good work! QValintyne (talk) 22:39, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Phil LaMarr's Twitter confirmation.png

Thanks for uploading File:Phil LaMarr's Twitter confirmation.png, which you've sourced to Twitter. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I am the owner of the file. I am Quinton Moss. I don't know how I could honestly "prove" that, but it's true. QValintyne (talk) 16:28, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Walking Dead Survival Instinct cover art.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Walking Dead Survival Instinct cover art.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:42, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
