Proposed deletion of Pingu episodes removed from rotation

The article Pingu episodes removed from rotation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, possible hoax

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. De728631 (talk) 20:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. The recent edit that you made to the page Super Mario Bros. (film) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. WikiLubber (talk) 22:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on User:WikiLubber. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  GSK (talk ● evidence) 23:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates, as you did to User talk:TJ Spyke. Doing so is a violation of Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Apparently you have not actually READ WP:3RR. I have made 1 revert in the last 24 hours, you have made 2 and have been making false threats. Be careful or you may get blocked.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:10, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Wii

Regarding your recent contributions to the article, please keep in mind that the Wii article already has a section about sales. The "Sales decline" section has been merged into the "System sales" section. Feel free to contact me or visit Talk:Wii if you have any concerns. just64helpin (talk) 00:36, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, keep in mind that blogs are not notable sources, as per WP:NOTABILITY. The blog sources that you have added in the Wii's sales section have been deleted.Commandr Cody (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Your insistence on saying Nintendo has released only 3 Wii games in the US this year is annoying because it is false. Nintendo has released the following Wii games in the US so far this year: New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, New Play Control! Pikmin, New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Punch-Out!!, Wii Sports Resort, Metroid Prime: Trilogy, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Excitebots: Trick Racing. That's 9 games. TJ Spyke 23:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

The New Power Play Controls do not count. If they did, they would have a reception, but they didn't. They're just remakes. StevenMario (talk) 23:43, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

They DO count. Also, STOP adding a Decline section. You are the ONLY one who thinks it needs to exist, the consensus from everyone else is that it doesn't need its own section. Keep doing it and you will get warnings and maybe a block. TJ Spyke 00:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

They're as valid as any Nintendo-published game. Not all games get their own articles, but that doesn't make them any less of a game. Reach Out to the Truth 00:43, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Remakes don't really count actually. It's just the same game only with different controls. In order to "un-confuse" that, I put "excluding the New Play Control! remakes" on there, just in case. Also, a decline section must be needed because people need to know where the information is, if you know what I mean. StevenMario (talk) 00:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't know what you mean. What's it supposed to mean? Any information in the article should already be available. Any claim, especially one so bold as that, needs be backed up by reliable sources. Do any sources claim that these declines in sales are in any way significant or a problem, or is this just a WP:SYNTHESIS? The claim that ports don't count is certainly original research, and the rest doesn't sit well with me either. Reach Out to the Truth 16:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Mario Show

I appreciate and can vouch for you edits to the Mario Show article.

However, why is the rest of the talk page criticizing your contributions?

If it's about the citation needed reason, that is a must. It really helps out when a source, not a blog or somebody's word-of-mouth, but something that is proven like three times over, is used, that way debate is quelled and the article can progress.

The Little Orphan

Hi. Please don't add comments to articles threatening users with being blocked. If a user is vandalizing the article, a better course of action is to place warnings of increasing severity on the user's talk page. --Rrburke 22:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
