IMOB Business Tower moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, IMOB Business Tower, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Information icon Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, James Earl Ray, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linking taxa

[edit]

Please don't keep trying to link taxa (like genera or subspecies) in infoboxes. IF there is an article for such links to point to, then the link will already exist; if there is no link then no article is intended to exist on the other end. For example, Cryptoprocta redirects to Fossa (animal) because the genus is treated at that location; there is not enough separate material to make it a standalone article. As for the bald eagle subspecies, we don't usually have separate articles for subspecies unless there is a large amount to say about them - not the case here. Please take the hint if you are repeatedly reverted! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American Dream Meadowlands

[edit]

The uncited material you added to American Dream Meadowlands was removed. As mentioned above, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Nightscream (talk) 18:04, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Regarding your recent edits, please stop making edits on the basis of your personal knowledge, something you have already been warned about on this talk page, by myself, and others.

As mentioned above, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. There are no sources that indicate whether those venues are currently "under construction" or not, and splitting the section in this way is not only unnecessary and does not improve the article, but would require updating, when there is no way to know for certain that sources will be published in the future indicating the completion of those venues. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a newspaper, so it does not have to be so technically "current". Please see WP:DATED for more on this. Nightscream (talk) 20:06, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop disrupting the American Dream Meadowlands article. The name of the venue in question is The Game Room powered by Hasbro, per the cited source. The change you made did not improve the line, it merely distorted its correct name by adding an unnecessary descriptor that renders the line grammatically incorrect. A fuller description of what the venue is can already be found further up in the article, at the bottom of the 2019–present section.

If you make another disruptive edit, I will contract an adminsitrator and have you blocked from editing. Please do not make that necessary. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 16:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022

[edit]

Hi, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for changing that heading name in the American Dream Meadowlands article, and for adding the go-kart tenant. I fixed the citation for you, as it looked like this when I found the article. (If you ever want to tweak your citations, you can read WP:CS, if you haven't already.)

However, the opening date you added for the Hasbro Game Room was reveted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:59, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please stop violating Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The source cited for the Hasbro Game Room does not given an opening date. Adding it without a supportive citation violates Wikipedia's policies on Verifiability, No Original Research and Source Citation. Since you've accumualted over 1,100 edit here since January 2020, you should be adhering to these policies, and not reverting other editors when they uphold them.
In addition, Wikipedia needs to be written with undated wording, whenever possible, per WP:DATED and WP:RELTIME. Vague, subjective words like "soon" are to be avoided. Please read these guidelines and learn them.
Lasty, citations are not written like this. Please refer to WP:CS for how to write citations, and WP:REFNAME for how to use that markup properly. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 00:18, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, saw after posting the message above that I had already warned you about your disruptive editing last December, so I merged the two sections. Further violations will result in ad administrator being contacted to block you. Please stop. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 00:22, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The uncited material that you added to the American Dream Meadowlands article has been reverted.

Your draft article, Draft:IMOB Business Tower

[edit]

Hello, Zachbarbo. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "IMOB Business Tower".

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Duck family

[edit]

Hi Zachbarbo, You've added information to Duck family (Disney) based on the short How to Have an Accident at Work. This short is not typically considered canonical for the purposes of Donald Duck's history, because no other film or comic ever used those characters. The only source you've provided is a Disney Wiki page, which is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. Do you have any other source that backs up "Donald Duck's son" as a canonical member of the Duck family? — Toughpigs (talk) 00:41, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure about the floor count thing?

[edit]

I noticed that you are sorting List of tallest buildings by country by floor count, which as far as I can tell isn't the purpose of the article. Maybe you should make a separate article "List of buildings with the most floors by country" if you feel like floor count is a better way to measure buildings. henrysz💬📜 12:30, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

That amateur, out-of-date ref is ridiculous, and anyway we already have refs. Good ones. The point with challenged edits is not to cherry-pick bad refs that support your preconceptions, but to discuss the issue on the talk page and try to come to consensus. You've been here for a year, you've been blocked for edit-warring before, you know how this works. — kwami (talk) 11:34, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of pending edit-warring noticeboard report

[edit]

I went to report you, then thought it better to try again, in case you really just don't understand.

At issue here is a compromise that editors have struck after years of discussion, that you are attempting to override without discussion of any kind.

At issue is which bodies "are" dwarf planets. The IAU has a convention for which naming committee gets to name which objects in the Solar system, and for that purpose they need to decide the nature of the objects (are they or are they not planets?). They therefore came up with a bureaucratic definition of dwarf planet (based on absolute magnitude) that is easily verified but contradicts their formal, geological definition. The SSSB's that are named by the dwarf-planet naming committee are then frequently reported as "the" dwarf planets. However, the IAU says they may turn out not to be DPs (their approach was a bureaucratic one, so that they'd be able to approve the names proposed by the discoverers, nothing more -- they don't claim to be a gate-keeper to reality) and astronomers often disagree -- either that the named bodies are not actually DPs, or to the common conclusion in lay literature that other bodies are not DPs. Numbering DPs in order requires that the nature of these bodies be settled, and we don't have any good way of doing that from Earth.

The dispute is well known to those of us who monitor these articles, and we've discussed it for years: do we take pronouncements and naming-conventions of an authoritative body (the IAU) as the authority for factual claims, despite the fact that science doesn't work that way, and ignore contradictory conclusions in more recent and more specialized astronomical literature, or do we make the lack of consensus of RS's clear to the reader? We've decided to use wording like 'likely' and 'possible' rather than making an absolute claim that large bodies either are or are not DPs, and to discuss the question (if we can even tell, given the evidence) in the body of the article.

So, please, stop edit-warring, or you are likely to be blocked. Again. — kwami (talk) 22:06, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

About Graffiti

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Graffiti a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Graffiti (crime). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Julia Winter. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

A tag has been placed on Tales of Nai Nai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Notability not apparent, largely unreferenced article, creator removed my maintenance tags

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Tales of Nai Nai has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appeared to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that did not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ––FormalDude talk 15:14, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Astronomy

[edit]

Hi Zachbarbo,

When you add info to a science article, like you did to Orcus, you need to provide a reference. E.g. when you say it will take 24 years for a flyby -- is that with a gravitational assist? Which years would it be possible to launch such a mission? Info like that will be in the reference for those who are interested. But without a ref, we don't even know if it's true, so you will unfortunately be reverted. — kwami (talk) 02:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Madeline Amy Sweeney

[edit]

Hi. You removed content from the Madeline Amy Sweeney article with this edit, but without providing a rationale for this in an edit summary. When removing material, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 18:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zachbarbo, I think you have completely misunderstood what "survived by" means. It mean that her relatives survived after she died. It is a way to list people who were alive at the time that somebody else died. The point here is that she had a living husband and two children at the time of her death.
It is important to check that the content you are correcting really is a mistake. In this case it wasn't.
I have reviewed some of your other edits and I can't tell if you are deliberately disrupting Wikipedia or whether this is just a competence issue. Either way you need to stop making large, aggressive, poorly explained edits. In particular the blanking out of big chunks of content has to stop. You have already had plenty of warnings. Please dial it back a notch or three if you want to avoid further trouble. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kid Lucky (TV series) moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for creating Kid Lucky (TV series). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Reading Beans (talk) 04:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Recent edits at species articles

[edit]

Before this heads off into deep water... a) please don't add common names based on unreliable sources, as you did at Thaumatichthys pagidostomus and Xenophthalmichthys; random ancient book illustrations and internet galleries are not suitable. b) Don't add external links, use formatted references. c) If the article title is the scientific name, the lede begins with that name and then lists any common name, not the other way round. d) What were you up to at Giant squid? You do know there is such a thing as a preview button, right? And why fiddle with the correctly specified taxobox anyway? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:49, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

[edit]

A report at my talk has pointed out that there are ongoing problems. Please respond to the two comments on this page dated 31 January 2023. They are at #American Dream Meadowlands earlier on this page and #Recent edits at species articles just above. Regarding the first of these, an editor has felt it necessary to post seven comments regarding American Dream Meadowlands at different times since November 2020. You do not appear to have responded. That is not sustainable. Replying to comments is not compulsory but if you repeat problems you will be indefinitely blocked because it is not reasonable that the time of other editors should be spent explaining basic requirements. My warning from June 2021 can be seen at #Warning regarding edit warring above. Johnuniq (talk) 04:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zachbarbo: I mentioned you at WT:WikiProject Mammals#North American jaguar. Why did you make the edits to North American jaguar which have been reverted? I note that you have resumed editing without responding to my above comment. Be aware that collaboration is required and you will be blocked if you are unable or unwilling to communicate with other editors. Johnuniq (talk) 04:38, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing. Collaboration is required at Wikipedia. Rather than responding to other editors on this talk page or at article talk, you have continued edit warring such as at American Peregrine Falcon. If you intend appealing this block, I recommend that you first respond to my messages in this section and at #Peregrine falcon below.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Johnuniq (talk) 03:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading images under false pretenses

[edit]

Please do NOT upload images to Commons under false authorship declarations, as you did with this one. Unless you are "Andrew Gates" and uploaded the image to WoRMS 16 years ago, this is NOT your own creation, and you cannot claim that in the description. The image is NC-BY-SA licensed and so can be hosted at Commons, at least; I am asking to have the description sorted out there. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:54, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have now been blocked on Commons for repeatedly uploading unfree files after warnings. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:45, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peregrine falcon

[edit]

Dude, this is becoming aggravating. Your edits to Peregrine falcon were pointless and made the article worse - we do not require a complete list of subspecies to bloat the box when they are all well covered in the text body, and we certainly do not need two dozen circular redirects! And you removed the summary paragraph on the Barbary falcon why? As for subspecies articles, these are only required if there is an unusual amount to say about the taxon that cannot be covered at the species article, which is apparently not the case for the American subspecies - please don't create subspecies articles unless you can do better than a stub. I have redirected this back to the species. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
