Fleetwood Mac

Archived discussions

The following page is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this page.

Hi, I altered Fleetwood Mac's album sales as the figure previously stated was incorrect. I cannot find a specific reference but I can easily identify each album sales which altogether total at least 120 million which is why I changed it from 100 million. I am a fan of theirs and I think it's only right that their accomplishments are correctly shown on their Wikipedia page. Please understand my concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.157.138 (talk) 19:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reference that is in place states 100 not 120, according to the source, it was correct before your change. Mlpearc (open channel) 19:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Long-term abuse

Just wondering, are you or other administrators/CheckUsers still available to clerk around the long-term abuse page, or is that a practically abandoned project alongside the Wikipedia:Abuse response page? AFAICS, most of the LTA cases are dealt with through global locks and blocks and Meta now, so much of the workpile has shifted to the Stewards responsibility, which probably accounts for the low maintenance we have on that page now. Anyway, I wanted to ask to propose the removal of one of the long-term abuse cases from that page, specifically Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/General Tojo as he has been inactive since 2011, and there seems to be no further need to keep tabs on him on this page, due to the above mentioned reasons. I might go through some more abandoned cases and try to get the main long-term abuse page cleaned up more properly, so we can focus on the more current LTA sockpuppetry cases. In short, this project probably needs a restart of some sort. TeleComNasSprVen (talk • contribs) 03:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The best contact I know (who still around) is DeltaQuad, who is an Administrator and Checkuser, which I'm neither, I used to help there, but that was years ago. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 03:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. No, I did not create Doctree2. Considered creating DocTree as a doppelgänger since I use that as my signature. For now, going to AGF, leave a welcome on the talk page and watch it. I'll deal with any impersonation attempt if that happens. More likely there's an interesting story about the choice of name (Ever read my explanation?). Thanks again, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 14:37, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

Information icon Hello, I'm Pigsonthewing. I wanted to let you know that your signature ("sig") design might cause problems for some readers. This is because the yellow on white has too-low contrast. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines and policy on customising signatures. Thank you.

Username change request

Thank you for your notification about my change of username request. You say my request was malformed, and I'm not sure what that means. My username now is P123cat1 and would like it to be P123ct1.

I edited the page "Data (Star Trek)" but you undid my edit because it was a "joke edit", I do not feel that this is so. I changed data's species to Soong Typpe Android instead of just android, i did not intend this as a joke as he was referred to in the tv show Star Trek TNG on multiple occasions as a "Soong Type Android" due to the fact that his creator was Doctor Noonien Soong, please undo your reversion of my edit or if you still feel that I am incorrect please tell me why you considered this a joke edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.235.170 (talk) 21:28, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change of username request

On 18th May, you left a message on my talk page saying that my request for a change of username had been rejected. You said to leave any query here, which I did, did not look for the reply here (didn't get notification of a reply) and now it has been erased. I tracked it down in "View history", but after clicking on the "here" link in your message, I'm still not clear what I did wrong. Can you clarify, please? My request was to change my username from "P123cat1" to P123ct", which I checked was still available; then following the instructions I filled in current user name, proposed new name and reason for change, leaving no gaps anywhere, and not putting in a heading. --P123cat1 (talk) 14:52, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello P123cat1 after doing some tracking of my own (sorry, didn't recollect your username) under the last request on this page your request is malformed and all you needed to do is re-apply, which you have. I am not a bureaucrat, these users have access to name changes and I can not hurry the process, you current request is in good order and I don't see any problems with just dropping an a. You'll have to wait for a crat' to check the page a process the request, remember it is a holiday weekend in the U.S. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 18:42, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I know all I needed to do was reapply, but wanted to check with you whether I had made a mistake when filling in the form the first time. If you say what I did looks OK, I can't see how they can have rejected it. I have done exactly the same thing this time, so it will be interesting to see what they make of it this time! --P123cat1 (talk) 19:14, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Short question: using my new username, I will still be able to access all my past posts, editorial (contributions page, etc), on the Help Desk or otherwise, won't I? -- P123cat1 (talk) 08:21, 26 May 2014 (UTC) New username came through and question now redundant. -- P123ct1 (talk) 13:01, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent warnings on User talk:MetalicMadness

Regarding the recent warnings you have given User:MetalicMadness, MetalicMadness is correct in removing two of those genres: "dream pop" and "space rock". Neither is sourced in the article, and per WP:V, information like that should be sourced somewhere in the article (though not necessarily in the infobox itself). The boilerplate messages you keep leaving on MetalicMadness's talk page even talk about requiring sources, which these genres do not have. Heck, in one of your edit summaries, you ask for sources, even though none exist in the article supporting those two genres. "Psychedelic Rock" is sourced, and should stay, but giving MetalicMadness warnings for correctly removing unsourced opinions from an article, especially after MetalicMadness explained their actions, is not proper. You should remove those unsourced genres right away, or find reliable sources supporting those genres (WP:ALBUM/SOURCES is a good place to start looking). MrMoustacheMM (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MrMoustacheMM, please see section below, that would be my response to your statement also. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 14:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent warnings?

I was wondering about some recent warnings of yours to MetalicMadness. I was just looking for clarification of why you have been ignoring their questions. Do you believe they were asked in bad faith? I don't quite understand, ignoring him/her isn't going to make them stop editing like that. Thanks, Lixxx235 (talk) 20:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your concern. I think it's quite clear that an diff from February 13, 2013 shows exactly what I've been trying to show MetalicMadness that they're removing established genre's. I could link a large number of music articles with established genre's that no longer have references because they are just that "established" Mlpearc (open channel) 02:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at that diff, and nowhere are there sources supporting those genres there either. The whole problem here is that the genres are unsourced. If they had reliable sources in the past, those need to be re-added to the article. Otherwise they are unsourced original research, and should not be in the article. Other articles also being unreferenced is not a legitimate excuse for ignoring WP:V, a WP policy. To my knowledge there is no policy saying, "if information has been in an article for a while, then it is 'established' and no longer needs to be sourced" (however please feel free to enlighten me about such a policy). The current revision (as of this post) looks fine; it has one sourced genre (although the Allmusic source given in the infobox is questionable at best and should probably be removed; the Pitchfork review source in "Critical Reception" is good enough), and no unsourced genres. Please do not re-add the other genres without sources backing them up. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 18:23, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me!??

What the hell is this all about!? I try to make a helpful edit and you just have a random outburst about it! I honestly don't know what you're on about, so please enlighten me! MetalicMadness (talk) 17:36, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Such a bold statement for a newbie or is that an experienced sockpuppet ? (pretty handy with userboxes too!) Mlpearc (open channel) 14:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, just a "newbie". It doesn't take an "experienced sock puppet" to realize that you've been rather arrogant in your revert. Still waiting for an answer to my initial question btw, but apparently another childish comment was more important.

Permission Problem with File:GFD Wearing Red Polo Shirt

  • What was the permission problem with this picture? This is a picture of a relative of mine that I took, and I have uploaded other pictures of this person, taken by the same camera. I have changed the license to CC-BY-SA, but I would like to know what the issue was. Please reply on my talk page. Lord Laitinen (talk) 23:13, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Lord Laitinen Please read the notice on your talk, it states:


The issue is, even if it's your picture you need to give Wikimedia permission to use the it or provide proof that the same file has been previously published somewhere else and under which license. Mlpearc (open channel) 00:47, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Please do not remove the tag on the file page until the issue is resolved. Mlpearc (open channel) 00:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Mlpearc; I'm trying to resolve this issue – could you briefly explain why you think the uploader isn't the copyright holder? Thanks, —Microchip08 (talk) 14:16, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Microchip08 Well, first off I never said the uploader isn't the copyright holder, the issue is, even if the uploader is the copyright owner, that owner has to give Wikimedia permission to use the file (Just as the notice on the file page and on the uploaders talk page states) Here I will highlite the message again:


I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license. If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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.


Which you have done, the OTRS pending tag that you placed is what needed to be done. Once you have recieved the ticket number from OTRS for the file it's good to go. remember all files you own and upload need this consent. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 19:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What? Are you saying that every image needs to be sent through OTRS? The user stated that it was under a compatible Creative Commons license. Microchip08 (talk) 19:56, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Microchip08 PLEASE read the tag that I placed above in this discussion (twice), again on the file page and the uploader's talk page, that is what is being said. Mlpearc (open channel) 20:07, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The file states that it is under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, satisfying the first point. I am trying to ascertain if there is a problem beyond that, because I'm not sure why this is an issue in the first place. Microchip08 (talk) 20:10, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've done all I can, please seek any more help/questions here: Wikipedia:Copyright problems. good luck and cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 20:17, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Let me clarify: as far as I can tell, there isn't an issue because the uploader is the copyright holder, and the uploader states that it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. I would like to have assurance as to why you decided that that was not sufficient, and needed a problem tag, so that I do not put a {{PermissionOTRS}} tag onto a file with outstanding problems (and potentially exacerbate the problem). I do not need to know what to do next, I just want to know why you added the problem tag: please explain (as it could be something I've missed). Thanks, Microchip08 (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have explained, you haven't listened. Goodbye. Mlpearc (open channel) 20:40, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek, Season Three, Original Series

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have read your note to me, that you reverted changes in the main Star Trek article. I did, however, make some subsequent comments in the talk pages for the same article. (...) I believe that the initial script is simply in error, and for the reasons I have written. That the veteran work of Art Director Walter M. Jeffries, and the high script quality, with perhaps a good aesthetic sense from Frieberger himself, kept season three at the same, or slightly higher quality (ironically), than the first two years. This ... idea that the Fred Frieberger season - season three - was a dip... is a common perception, but one that is simply mistaken.

And you are talking to a ST fan for some 40 years. One might make a better argument that season 1 was the worst, because they had as yet to resolve some ideational and consistency issues regarding future technology and travel. But the truth is... that season three held its own, despite the cuts, and that all seasons are of roughly the same quality, though there are some conceptual and design differences. And no source is needed: it is patently obvious to the true Star Trek affectionado; you're mistaken. (John G. Lewis (talk) 22:10, 2 June 2014 (UTC))[reply]

John G. Lewis Sorry, Wikipedia does not take personal opinion, conjecture and the like, and yes reliable sources are needed if you want what you put in to stay there.

When I wrote this article I took great care to document everything as closely as possible, with references to authoritative citations, avoiding any grey literature. There are 46 citations, each footnoted, and the references occur at the end of the article. I am left wondering what else I could cite, as I felt this was perfectly adequate.

Question about Larry Linville reversion

Hi. What changes did I make that need citations? More or less, all I did was move things around, most notably taking his roles before M*A*S*H and put them in their own section. As it was, his roles before M*A*S*H were in the "After M*A*S*H" section, which clearly needed to be resolved. I also took out one or two of the subjective statements.Please let me know. Thanks. --PoughkeepsieNative (talk) 00:16, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Revert of sourced item

I just came across a revert here: [3]? What's wrong with the reference? I didn't insert it, but I'm confused. The edit summary doesn't seem to say it's unreliable or anything else. --Closeapple (talk)

Hello, Closeapple The reference is mal-formed, I left this link in the edit summary Wikipedia:REFB (sorry for the inference of being a beginner, you were editing as an IP), just that {{Cite book}} should be used. Mlpearc (open channel) 04:21, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused. I am not the user that added it: That was someone else. I'm just the user that noticed the revert. {{Cite book}} isn't mandatory for citations; the lack of a "cite" template in the reference doesn't make it malformed or invalid, or cause the claim to be unreferenced. The standard is Wikipedia:Verifiability. Am I missing something? --Closeapple (talk) 04:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sorry I assumed you were the IP since you posted here. If that's the way you want the page fine, I just reverted it so some one familiar with the subject would have a chance to change it. Mlpearc (open channel) 05:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Herobrine

Hi, I see you've just reverted this editor at 2014–15 Southern Football League. He was simply reverting himself because he had edited with no consensus and had undone my initial revert. We had a discussion and he reverted himself. You've now taken it back to the version we agreed not to use. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, dear. I thought they were being stubborn. Mlpearc (open channel) 20:37, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He was initially, but I think that was just exuberance on the part of an inexperienced editor. We had a chat and he agreed to revert himself rather than cause a scene. His other edits are generally fine. The current version is the correct one. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:40, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Bretonbanquet and Evertonfc13, My apologizes, I misinterpreted Evertonfc13's edit here as I'm reverting your (Bretonbanquet's) edit. Mlpearc (open channel) 23:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Black Sabbath (album)

You certainly do appear to be one of those bothersome editors who goes around reverting constructive edits haphazardly. The recommended manner of proceeding in instances such as this is to simply correct the fragment of the edit you disagree with, rather than initiating conflict by reverting the entire thing repeatedly and needlessly. Nobody likes to put in the effort to improve the project only to have an imprudent colleague repeatedly undo their work. Please explain yourself. Caper454 (talk) 23:46, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, read my edit summaries. Mlpearc (open channel) 23:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Roy Rogers

Hi Mr M. I'd like to discuss the Roy Rogeres addietions, as you said made in good faith. Would it be necessary for references to facts commonly available such as 1)Autry enlisting during WWII and Rogers becoming Republic's "Public Cowboy No 1" 2) The fact confirmed by readily available film sources that Rogers frequently played a character with his own name and 3) Mostly after Autry's departure he played characters in the present day?

1971 album is "spam"

Hi, thanks for your edits, but this looks to me like a notable compilation album for this artist, why do you think it is spam? In ictu oculi (talk) 02:25, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see 1971 is a reissue, it is 1954. Simply changing the date might have been easier. I have added Grandpa Jones Sings His Greatest Hits (1954) and footnoted Colin Larkin The Virgin Encyclopedia of Country Music Virgin, 1998 as source. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@In ictu oculi: I never said any thing about notable compilation album or any dates, my revert was for spam "KING LP COLLECTORS ITEMS $5.00 each postpaid-ALL NEW" which you fixed anyway. Cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 03:27, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see, that was just inadvertent drag with the 1971 catalogue source. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:29, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please take another look at my edits

Can you please explain to me what is wrong with this edit, and why you marked a revert of FIVE edits as minor? And did you use rollback in a content dispute? Harmelodix (talk) 22:28, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment?

Hi. Could you weigh in on this discussion regarding content removal at an article? Dan56 (talk) 01:53, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I'm sorry if I was rude to you. Dan56 following me everywhere reverting me has made edgy, and I jumped at you when you reverted me too. I still say that you were wrong to revert me, but I should have been more civil. I think that we got off on the wrong foot, so hopefully we can move forward with renewed good-faith. Harmelodix (talk) 00:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine but me having 29K edits over 5½ years, That would make me the most successful sock to date. All's good, but if I see something I do not agree with I might pop back up Mlpearc (open channel) 00:33, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AC/DC

Just a heads up regarding your correction of "AC/DC is" to "AC/DC are" at AC/DC – I've already reverted an editor once for changing that, and he changed it back. We've had a discussion at his talk page User talk:Tony1, but he's not having any of it. I haven't edit-warred with him, but he may well revert again. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bretonbanquet Thank you for the heads up, I'll keep an eye, I saw your change and noticed that their revert of something else also included the "is" from the last edit, chances are they have no idea they changed it back to "is". Mlpearc (open channel) 17:53, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soliciting comment...

Hi! Would you care to review my FA nomination for the article Of Human Feelings? The article is about a jazz album by Ornette Coleman. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 03:14, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dan56 I don't want to ignore you query but, I wouldn't know the first thing about reviewing GA's let alone FA's, I'm just not that type of editor. It would be a waste of time for both of us, sorry. I can if you wish go through the article as I just did at Red Skelton and do some link work. Mlpearc (open channel) 03:36, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That wont be necessary, since most of the sources are print, and I've archived through WebCite all the external links. Thanks tho ! Dan56 (talk) 03:43, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

did you even read the edit you reverted?

The source in my twilight zone article edit is in the article itself. The wording is inaccurate and I fixed it. But if you'd rather have an inaccurate article, go ahead and be a pedantic editor. All I ask is this, can you please provide a source for the first Twilight Zone revival airing in the 60s as it currently reads?
