Hello, I'm NinjaRobotPirate. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Lance Reddick, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:08, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Assistance with edit to main page of "Lost" article

Hi there. Many thanks for your edit of adding updated sources to the opening paragraph of the "Lost" article. Coincidentally, very shortly after your updated revision I myself attempted to add a large update with several cited sources for that specific area but as I submitted the changes I was told it would not publish due to an edit conflict since you had made your changes during the middle of mine.

I'm honestly not even sure my sources were formatted the right way as my only guess was to use the "Cite your sources" button to insert the before and after each newly linked article, though I have no idea if that was the correct method or not. In any case, you seem to be much more of an expert as citing and adding sources than I am, so I was hoping you could also add in my newly found sources in addition to your existing ones. I'd also suggest the sentence that appears before the linked sources also be updated to include audiences response as you can see from my first linked source below that the article itself is sourced by viewer ratings from Metacritic. So here's the updated new opening sentence below followed by all the linked sources. Hope you can help, many thanks.

"Lost is widely regarded by both critics and audiences as one of the greatest television series of all time."

- Can you assist with repeated troll offender on "Lost - The End" page?

There's a pathetic moron troll "A Thousand Doors" who's been reverting factually superior edits on that page and replacing them with endless garbage nonsense over and over. He's obviously a no-life loser dickhead who has some pathetic, crybaby vendetta against the show and he just got one of his fellow prick troll users to ban ME from the page when it should have been the EXACT OPPOSITE.

You seem to be very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of Wikipedia when it comes to stuff like protecting pages, reporting trolls, etc. So can you either put a permanent end to this ridiculous idiot yourself or inform someone who can? Thanks SNF-87 (talk) 20:32, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

This looks bad. I have warned SNF-87 on their page. Bishonen | talk 21:21, 21 July 2019 (UTC).

@SNF-87: the user you are referring to is adding properly sourced content. That's not trolling. While I personally disagree on the fact that the Lost finale was bad (and you seem to think the same), Wikipedia has to mantain a neutral point of view, no one can change stuff only because he disagrees with it. --Mazewaxie 09:46, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

"Why did someone thought I was a puppet?"

If you are gonna revert edit without even writing an edit summary and checking the talk page, of course one can think that you may be a sockpuppet. Write edit summaries please. Sebastian James what's the T? 19:05, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

This coming from a guy who tells people to fuck off via edit summaries. Take a hike, sport. Mazewaxie would be well within his rights to report you to ANI. You should probably be begging for his forgiveness. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 02:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

And suddenly, Wikipedia was just a little better than it had been before. I guess Sun Tzu has been proven right yet again. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:40, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

I am commenting here for an attempt to stop you from continuing to disturb others because of my edits. It is annoying and pathetic. I didn't even care enough to see you as my "enemy". Drop it and go away, there's no point in bemoaning anymore. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:47, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't consider you an enemy either, sebbie. But you are desperately trollish, and I smiled when you claimed to go into semi-retirement. The only person disturbed here is you, and only that because you are stalking user pages. If you are looking for the definition of pathetic, look no further than the nearest mirror, buddy. Now, shoo. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 19:49, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Both of you should stop the WP:HOUNDING and general harassment. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Um, Skywatcher, should I bother asking why you just magically show up here? Perhaps you should read the room a lot better than you have. It isn't a conversation that even peripherally involves you. You may shoo off as well, buddy, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 21:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Miserably trying to accuse me of stalking talk pages, even though they are the one stalking my edits and editing on them for a couple of days. Now, they are continuing to harrass others. Oh, well. Sebastian James what's the T? 13:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

La risposta

Ti ho chiamato sockpuppet perché non hai scritto un riassunto di modifica e hai modificato la pagina mentre era discussa nella pagina di discussione. Pensavo fossi un sockpuppet. Mi dispiace per eventuali errori. Il mio italiano non è eccezionale. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:19, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Il suo inglese è splendido, Seb. Il tuo gioco Google Translate, meno così... - Jack Sebastian (talk) 21:54, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Lol, I didn't use Translate (it looks like you did), of course you don't know that the term "sockpuppet" is also "sockpuppet" in Italian. At least write "either" correctly. Since nobody cares about your opinion anywhere, now go to another page to cry. Bye bully, don't forget to use another metaphor for your bullshit. Sebastian James what's the T? 08:12, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Sure you didn't use GTranslate. Your own user page betrays you, son. Take it from someone who actually speaks the language you are pretending to; work on your grammar usage; most translation programs have trouble with grammar. Wanna try again? Wanna accuse me of socking? You seem to have some history of doing that. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:20, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

So, are you saying that even though I stated I wasn't great at Italian and apologized for mistakes, it is because I used Google Translate? Are you seriously talking about grammar while accusing my user page because of an unexplained thing? I bet you speak five languages. Do you seriously think that someone who doesn't even know how to write "either" correctly is able to know Italian? Come one kid, stop with these lies, we all know that your only success in life is bullying while playing Fortnite. Continue to harass other editors on another editor's talk page for an indefinite block. Are you aware that you are only getting responses from me? Try to imitate other users, maybe you will be more successful in life than just bullying if you do it right. I feel sorry for your so-called "kids" if they had existed. They would have had a horrible life because of you. Now, it's time for you to attack me from another talk page, you know, this user also doesn't want your nonsense. See you there, when you butt in another discussion. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:01, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Partly, you're right; this is someone else's page. Why you keep trying to defend your fucked-up accusations of sock-puppetry (not a new tactic by you, it would appear) is beyond me. Why don't you follow your own advice and - what was it again? Oh yes: fuck off (because its not uncivil). There are bad editors in Wikipedia, but you have got to be one of the more pathetic users I've ever come across. I will have a drink when you are indef-blocked. I am sure I won't be thirsty for long. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 22:55, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Beyond you? Who are you? You have no right to tell me fuck off the discussion I started, or even give advice. Why don't you fuck off anything related to me? Because no one cares about you on them. It looks like you are big on my edits and obsessed with me. Keep ignoring your faults, despise other editors and change the closed subject (when it is not even about you) to sock-puppetry accusations again? Brilliantly done. This might be your second success in life, don't give up. Sebastian James what's the T? 07:57, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

As of

"As of" statements should not be updated simply because time has passed. They are meant to designated when the statement was true. For example in Minecraft, As of May 2019, there were x number of accounts is specifically tied to the fact that the figure was released in May. It should not be changed to "June 2019" because we are now in June. Minecraft undoubtably has more accounts now than it did in May, so updating it to say June would fail WP:V. -- ferret (talk) 17:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Final installment in Toy Story 4

Toy Story 4 is just revealed to be the final installment in the series, most of the creators: John Lasseter and Lee Unkrick have left the studio for good, most of the voice actors have aged and some have died. They speculated that a Toy Story 5 may be made, but that's not true! Pixar won't ever make sequels again for so many years. So not everything from these magazines is true. Please rename it back to final installment. If a Toy Story 5 is made, it won't be great or good as the predecessor, so it's not worth it. WP:V. -- talk (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Okay, but why don't they confirm it's the final? Maybe because they want to made another Toy Story film after more than a decade to generate more cash? They were confusing us. We don't need to see another sequel, there are plenty of sequels from other titles in 2020s.

Oh, i'm sure they will say sometime that this film is the last. We should search on TVTropes for that or wait 10 years of so. I've also got disgusted by the fact that they didn't even made a videogame based on that movie.

Fourth film

Hello, I'm Gareth Griffith-Jones. I want to let you know that your recent reverting has been undone because it is not constructive. Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 11:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Line templates

The templates are redundant in general, their original purpose was to list the name of the right-of-way. See Clark/Lake station for an example of this.

Speedy deletion contested: Eternals (2020 film)

Hello Mazewaxie. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Eternals (2020 film), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I tagged it for history merge instead. . Thank you. Masum Reza^📞 15:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello I noticed your this edit. Please don't remove {{histmerge}} templates. Wikipedia's licensing requires that attribution be given to all users involved in creating and altering the content of a page. When a cut-and-paste move is done, the page history of an article or talk page can be split among two or more different pages. This is highly undesirable, because we need to keep the history with the content for copyright reasons. Please take a look at WP:Copying within Wikipedia and WP:HISTMERGE. Thank you.

Average row in "List of MCU films"

Hi there. First of all, thanks for your edits on the MCU page. I saw you removed the Average row on the Critical & Public response section. Just wondering what your motivation for this removal is. I think this is something there should be consensus for, so I will go ahead and restore it. If you still disagree, let's put it up for vote on the Talk-page. Cheers! SassyCollins (talk) 07:31, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@SassyCollins: Hi. Thank you for your edits too. I removed the average row following a discussion that took place here. At first I thought that it was a good idea to have an average row, but after reading other opinions I think it should be removed in every article, since it's not an accurate average. --Mazewaxie 09:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Check. Very useful insight. I'm inclined to agree. Will remove. SassyCollins (talk) 10:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Opinion Noted on Tarantino film page

I used a geolocation tool to cross reference the IP. I'm pretty sure there is one person, maybe two, that have been posting here over the course of a few months over several different IPS. But the problem is that the IP must be a dynamic IP, like from a coffee shop or computer lab, so it keeps changing. That is why it looks like one person with one edit on one article. IPS will often change from hour to hour, day to day, hence dynamic. But you can tell it is the same person. The geolocation shows a region in Texas and Southern Colorado almost every time. Though one was closer to California. So maybe a second anon. I wouldn't sweat it though. If it bothers you that much then just ask them politely to make an account to avoid confusion and have WP:GOODFAITH. Thank you for your time.FussbussSOhush (talk) 19:38, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

@FussbussSOhush: I opened a sockpuppet investigation about that. Nothing personal, I just want to be sure that you are not the one that used the IP. I hope you understand my doubt.

Hello! On the TX500 Wikipedia page, you reverted my correction describing the the engine as a wet sump type. Would you please tell me why you believe it as a dry sump engine?

As I understand it, a dry sump engine has an external oil tank. The TX500/XS500 does not have an external oil tank.

The poster for The Irishman appears to have been published here [1] incase you can bring it into the article. Nice edits by you so far for that new film article.

I added the reference to site to be referenced in the archive footage paragraph of the production section, where you added that citations were needed.

Hello again. I noticed you applied a tag to the cast section again. Last time you did that I removed all the excessive information I could find. Personally I don't see any at this time and the tag is a little vague. There is a cast section on the talk page. I would like the tag to be removed. I also removed a template someone else had added in order to edit more easily, I was hoping to restore but I'm not sure I can with your tag there. I'm curious if you have specific concerns. Otherwise, I'm not sure what to make of it. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 16:12, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

@Samurai Kung fu Cowboy: Hi. I haven't seen the movie yet (in my country is coming out in September, *sigh*) but it looks like the cast section is way too long. Try to compare it with other movies, it's way too long. I think some minor roles can be removed, like actors that appear in only one scene or something like that. If they are all important though, you can remove the tag. Happy editing :) --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 16:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

I think they're all important. Most of the characters being portrayed are real life people. However, I may be in the minority. I'll remove the tag for now, but I don't know how most editors feel. You may want to bring it up in the cast section of the talk page to get more feedback. That's up to you. Thank you. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 16:31, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

@Samurai Kung fu Cowboy: Okay, you can remove it IMO. We will see in the next days if any user has problems with that. If not, for me it's good. Happy editing :) --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 16:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello again. I'm sorry but I undid a couple of your recent minor edits because I had to in order to undo some bigger ones by another editor.
