Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Revolution episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Beeson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Television pages

edit

Hello. When updating information regarding aired episodes, it is best to make the changes after the episode has first aired. In the case of your edits to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pages, the episode has not finished airing yet on the east coast, so you should have waited until 9 pm EST. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:54, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Orange is the New Black Vandalism

edit

Orange is the New Black was released today early. you are vandalizing the page, and I will report you. there are 14 episodes, not 13, and the titles are all wrong. please find something else constructive to do with your time. Rswallis10 (talk) 01:35, 12 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am literally listing the episode titles that Netflix has listed and the number of episodes that Netflix has released... Perhaps it is you that is vandalizing? Rcul4u998 (talk)

Multiple sources confirm the episode titles (they were sourced from the creator), and multiple sources (including futon critic) confirm 14 episodes. If those titles you listed are the ones on Netflix, then I'm really confused. I haven't been on Netflix yet, so I have no way of confirming what you are saying. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't understand why reality is contradicting everything that has already been stated about the season. Maybe if we wait a while for all of the bugs to iron out, this will self-correct. I'm quite certain about the 14 episodes though. Rswallis10 (talk) 01:48, 12 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am aware of the sources that have been referenced, and I am not denying their validity with the episode titles and number, but the season has been released early, as of about 30 minutes ago, and the episode titles that I had listed before they were reverted were the ones that Netflix has in their season 3 summary, and there are only 13 of them... I don't know. I am only listing the information that Netflix has released with the new episodes. I thought there were going to be 14 episodes as well... Perhaps Netflix changed the titles themselves because they did not like the fact that they had been revealed early? Rcul4u998 (talk)

Orphaned non-free image File:Haley Reinhart Better Album Cover.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Haley Reinhart Better Album Cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

PMJ Associated acts

edit

Hi Rcul4u998, I believe I had the associated acts in alphabetical by last name, with the exception of Puddles (P). Seemed like the most neutral way to do it. The guidance is a little confusing Template:Infobox_musical_artist#associated_acts and I just noticed the proper template is flatlist rather than plainlist. I'll change it and wait for you opinion on order of appearance. (Please ping me if you respond here) 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 18:28, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I second this. It should be alphabetical, but perhaps it should match the later listing that list alphabetically according to first name? I'm not sure, but it should be some sort of alphabetical either way. I know a lot of other associated act listings also list chronologically according to when the specific act collaborate with the particular group. @009o9: Rcul4u998 (talk) 00:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I don't think it matters, the flatlist is horizontal, it doesn't draw attention to the order like the plainlist does with one per line. Thanks 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 13:34, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

One other issue, and since you are an interested editor. Would you consider commenting on my motion to have the Postmodern Jukebox article removed or struck from the heading of this COIN. (WP:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#GoDigital_Media_Group) I made a motion to remove it somewhere toward the bottom (word search "Can we please remove (or at least strike) the PostModern Jukebox article"). I'm not paid by PMJ nor any of their artists. A lot of them have day jobs and they probably couldn't afford the extra expenditure in this economy anyway. If PMJ wants to hire me, I will disclose the COI and refrain from direct editing. (Hard to imagine why they would, they are getting the history written for free anyway.)

I know you don't want to get involved in administrative issues, just thinking a second would help in getting it removed. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 17:09, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Rcul4u998: A different request, does this cast member article look okay? Just getting ready to publish. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 17:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

@009o9: I think it looks good for a base article, but I don't know if the content is substantive enough for WP:Notability. I think a "Career" section would make it a tad better. I'm sure she's had articles covering her career, especially with PMJ now. Rcul4u998 (talk) 18:03, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yes, she has a few concert reviews, but I don't want to include a bunch of praise, I left out most of the PMJ reviews that were in college newspapers. She's a topic in three international pubs for PMJ videos, Elle, Seventeen and A. V. Club (a very high Alexa rank). Pretty sure she also passes notability (WP:MUSBIO) from winning Montreux Jazz Festival and being on three Billboard Jazz top ten PMJ albums. As for adding sections, I just want to get it up so she has a place to document her history as more press develops (she's with the EU tour now). The dragon-lady has still been watching my contributions list, so I would not be surprised if there is trouble. I have a two page document on her (the dragon lady) already if she keeps it up. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 18:45, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
P.S. I think once she has done a couple more interviews, we'll have a clearer picture of her career history. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 18:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
@009o9: I also know that she has a new album coming that she crowdfunded through kickstarter, so that'd be good to add in her discography, as well. Rcul4u998 (talk) 19:29, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that album is scheduled for the November time-frame, which can be simply added to the albums table if it doesn't get reviewed (however I'm sure it will). She was working with/for the Pat Boone family, I'm not clear on that history, an album was announced but wasn't released. The sourcing on this isn't what I would consider RS, so the history is not clear, this might be that "anticipated" album. Her management (who also represents Debbie Boone I believe) hasn't changed, I'm just not sure if the label still exists. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 19:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Haley Reinhart Better Photo Shoot.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Haley Reinhart Better Photo Shoot.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Majora (talk) 03:12, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Haley Reinhart discography

edit

Hi Rcul4u998. How are you?

If you read my edition before revert it, you can tell I never wrote "The Letter" isn't the second single – which in fact it is – but it can only be considered a promotional single because it didn't receive Concord Records nor VEVO distribution/promotion. On the other hand, "For What It's Worth" has a VEVO lyric video and label promotion (as she stated herself on her Facebook page), so it's an "official" single. Don't you agree? Phill ad (talk) 03:20, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Phill ad:

Hello Phill ad, I did not know that a single without label promotion had to be considered a promotional single. Thanks for the clarification! Sorry for reverting.

Bare URLs

Hi. Can you please take some time to fill out the references you add to articles? Piling bare URLs onto an article is just something other editors have to fix. Please read WP:Link rot and WP:Bare URLs for why these aren't helpful. If you're taking the time to write up article content, it's not going to take much more to add some details besides the URL. Thanks. Ss112 17:45, 28 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Ss112:Yes, I know, thank you. I just copied the content and references over from her main article after a guest editor added them. You gave me approximately zero time to fix the references before coming here.Rcul4u998 (talk) 17:49, 28 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

That's not a believable response. I'll consult with another CheckUser before deciding what to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:47, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Bbb23: This is the only account that I have ever used to the best of my knowledge. I don't remember having any other accounts before this, and this is the only account that I have ever used for the past ~5 years years since I started editing frequently in August 2013. If I have other accounts and don't remember, they are old and inactive, and I wouldn't know how to access them, but I'm pretty sure I would remember if I had accounts before this one. I started editing here when I was 16 using this account, and much before that I don't think I would have even understood very well how to edit pages, so I don't think I would have created an account when I was younger and forgotten about it. About a week ago I also received a notification that somebody had attempted to log into my account unsuccessfully numerous times from an unknown device, and it was not me, as I only edit using my phone or my laptop, so perhaps there is something fishy happening with my account?Rcul4u998 (talk) 17:04, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Do you have a friend or a classmate whom you've allowed to use your computer?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Bbb23:Not my current laptop. Before June 2015 I edited using the desktop in my house, so some of my family may have had access to my account then, but I don;t believe any of them have their own separate accounts. But this is the only account that should be being accessed from this computer. I am at college for 8 months of the year and use the public student computers sometimes. I don't ever remember using the university computers to access my wiki account, but I suppose it's possible that I could have done it without remembering at some point (especially the computer at work, since I work at the front desk of a dormitory and we are allowed to use the computer for personal use when it is slow.) Rcul4u998 (talk) 17:28, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
A couple of items and then I'm done until later. First, this has nothing to do with the failed login attempts. Second, the only data available to me is from the last 3-month period, so whatever you did a long time ago I can't see. Thanks for all your responses.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:33, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Bbb23: Sorry to keep pinging you. Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember that one of the people that I work with had to compile information from archives & create a wikipedia page as a final project for one of her classes. I'm not sure if that information is any help, but I know she was working on it within the last month. Rcul4u998 (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

After consultation with another CheckUser, I've decided it is very unlikely behaviorally that you are using other accounts. Thanks for your cooperation.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:42, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
