Happy Tree Friends - Broadcast & Owned (reverted my Information)

Hi, My name is Drajat Achmad Imransyah or Imran from Indonesia. By The Way, Happy Tree Friends is not broadcast in National TV Station Indosiar because KPI (Indonesian Broadcasting Commission) can't allow any violence cartoon/anime in Television. And where do you got a information about Happy Tree Friends owned by Surya Citra Media? That is a HOAX. Thank You. imranfreak (talk) 11:48, 13 March 2015 (GMT+8)

"Second highest-grossing film to star a guy with a beard."

Okay, that was genuinely funny. No, I liked it a lot.

Aah, the gift. You know you always had it. Just speak a word and people start laughing. The gift to make people laugh. So far, you've been a successful joker with your stupid summaries and talks. I hope you can keep up the good work. Kudos!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by WillShowU (talk • contribs)

complaint against User:ARNAB22

This is a complaint against User:ARNAB22 ...Sir i just found out from the talk page of this user that even u have asked him to behave. But he simply refuses to do so. For instance, on the Bollywood wikipedia page, he has been posting a new pic of Shah Rukh Khan even though there is already a pic of Shah Rukh given there. And in the caption he writes that Shah Rukh has won "most number of awards", without giving any citation. Every time someone removes this pic and citation, he again posts it there, despite being warned against this. He recently did this on 20 Jan, 2016. In addition, he uses poor English in many of his other edits, and has been warned on this too by other users (see his talk page). I request you to take action against User:ARNAB22. Thanks.117.197.23.118 (talk) 11:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

You haven't provided me with enough information to do anything, and it's a little odd that you've contributed nothing from this IP except to complain about this user. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

On Fan Boy and Chum Chum

The show had negative reviews... It has a 3.3/10 on IMDb and a 2.6/10 on TV.com. It's a no brainer why they (Nickelodeon) didn't renew the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebrass11 (talk • contribs)

Firebrass11 - While I find your comment delightful, I have yet to see a series cancelled because it received negative reviews on IMDb and TV.com. Misplaced Pages doesn't care about user reviews, because they can be skewed any whiny internet user, or a band of users, or a band of paid editors, or pernicious sockpuppets who have an interest in beefing against a series. Low numbers at IMDb may correlate with the cancellation, but it is a gross assumption to say definitively that low numbers at these sites are reflective of why the network cancelled the series. Your assertion needs to be supported by statements from reliable secondary sources, just like any other controversial claim. I will also point out that this series got 5.8 million viewers on its first showing, and I'd be willing to guess that on its worst day in first-run probably still got more viewers than the 1.4–1.6 million per ep range that TMNT is getting now. This suggests that other viewing trends (like streaming, or preference for Disney, or piracy, or whatever) might be affecting these series' fates more than crappy reviews at IMDb and TV.com. I strongly advise you not to restore such assertive content without providing sturdy references that support your analysis. Anything short of that will be contested, and based on the flimsy argument you've thus presented, you are not likely to prevail. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:05, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Lucy

Hi, When u and she self say it that she was Lucy: How can it that she not mention it on her demo reel and how can it that her normal sound like's not Faragonda and Lucy? Which tricks she use it? And u don't know that she lie it or not lie/ly it.--Maxie1hoi (talk) 19:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Maxie1hoi I don't understand what you are asking. I have replied to your other query on your talk page. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I mean: U say it that she played Lucy and she self say it to! But why her sound like's not Lucy and Faragonda?--Maxie1hoi (talk) 19:28, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I didn't say that she played Lucy. I accidentally said that Lillis said that she played Lucy. She doesn't mention Lucy in the video. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Kalyeserye (Other Recurring Cast section)

Hello, Cyphoidbomb, sorry to bother you again, but I need your help. This is in regards to the section, Other Recurring Cast, in Kalyeserye. I have noticed on this article's talkpage, that in November and December, you have already trimmed the character list and removed one-off characters, but like a disease, they keep coming back and adding more. I also noticed that on 19:59, 28 November 2015, you warned a particular user already regarding this and discouraged him from making the list unnecessarily long. The page protection does not exclude this auto-confirmed user from adding insignificant characters who do not have even more than 10 minutes of screen-time (ie. driver, back-up dancers of one-off characters even). I see from this user's talk page that he has a history of doing so and has the propensity to add unsourced content. Pls. advise. Tankytoon (talk) 20:05, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Tankytoon - Which editor? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb - Jbr999 Tankytoon (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Cyphoidbomb - The user is at it again. Sooner or later, the fly that passes by the camera will soon have a credit on the article. Seems that he does not take warnings seriously as evidenced here, here, and here. Tankytoon (talk) 17:21, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello again Cyphoidbomb - Sorry to bother you, but another user is doing the same thing, adding inconsequential characters like a lady who hands off a bag of rice Other Examples: here, here, and here. I do not have enough tenure and not sure if I am justified in my observations, but I believe that only characters - including one-off - that contribute to the development of the story or the main characters' journey can only be included. I believe that Characters, especially where performers are unknown or unidentifiable, should be removed from the article - even if they appear in more than one episode (eg. cashier at store). I am trying my best to copy edit and add references to potentially questionable content to avoid violating copyright policies, but at the rate of having so much trivial information added to the article, it becomes problematic. Pls. advise. Tankytoon (talk) 18:25, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tankytoon, I dropped a note on Jbr999's talk page earlier today, so I think it's prudent to wait. If he continues the behavior, then we can escalate. I'll drop a note on the other editor's talk page to let 'em know what's up. Per WP:TVCAST, the project is only interested in significant characters, which are typically main and recurring ones. MOS:TV is a good resource for all things television. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:30, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb - noted. Tankytoon (talk) 21:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb - Pls. note the second editor is adding more inconsequential characters and on his edit summary comments, he wants a separate page for characters - which I think will be another excuse to make the list so much longer than it already is necessary. See here. - Thank you. Tankytoon (talk) 14:09, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: List of Bella and the Bulldogs episodes

Not sure if you saw my ping on the talk page, but I wanted to add that I actually went through the articles I was watching a while ago, including Bella and the Bulldogs, and changed tvschedule to tvlistings because the latter is actually better. Looks like the formatting on tvschedule has been changed to look like tvlistings, but other than that both places are the exact same thing, so I'm not sure where the IP got the idea that the former is valid and the latter is invalid. The main reason for going with tvlistings is that tvschedule often has DNS issues—or whatever it was that Geraldo called them—and sometimes you don't see the anything but the overview, though people in other parts of the world still see everything else like the episode guide, and vice-versa, they'll only see the overview often times.

I won't change it back, though, and leave that up to you, unless you have no qualms about me doing so. That's why I reverted the IP, though you may have overseen it. Amaury (talk) 04:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Amaury, if you think the other version is smarter, please feel free to change it. I trust ya! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 12:57, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Plot of Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3

Hello, Just noticed your message. Here is what i want to say to clear the confusion. 1. The plot is originally written by me (each and every word), without any reference to any website or other source. 2. Mouthshut.com has straight away copied the plot and they should be questioned. 3. I uploaded the plot three days ago, whereas Mouthshut.com has uploaded the plot just two days ago. It is very sad that my original work is been removed from wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imbunty (talk • contribs) 08:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Well surely with your history of submitting copy/pasted content to Misplaced Pages you can understand why your prose contributions would be scrutinized. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:06, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Haven't you heard?

We have to provide citations for cleanup templates. Unless The New York Times says that an Misplaced Pages article has too short of a plot, you can't tag it as such.

By the way, be on the lookout for a vandal I call "the animation hoaxer". It's not as catchy as The Violator of Misplaced Pages, but I thought that was kind of over-the-top. Anyway, he adds casting hoaxes to upcoming animated films using existing citations. For example: this edit. None of the names he added are mentioned in the source. I've been hitting ANI and AIV with new IPs as they pop up, but I'm worried that maybe I'm missing some of his hoaxes. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:35, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

NinjaRobotPirate Good to know, thanks. I saw someone the other day who kept adding a male US actor to everything. Can't remember who it was, but the James Woods thing reminded me of the other behavior. Shit, I wish I could think of it... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Was it the Phil Smeeton SPA? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:20, 29 January 2016 (UTC) edit: Oops, he's British. But that was one I noticed yesterday. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:21, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

I have seen a spate of these edits in the last couple of weeks, decent articles with notable actors having the actors changed within the article. It isn't easy to recognize or manage. Bill Murray was one of the affected actors, in this diff. I have no way of remembering them all, but if it would help, in future I can report it when I see it. Or maybe you already have enough of it on your plate...? Scr★pIron 20:32, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, that's definitely this vandal. By the way, there was a discussion at WP:AN#Long term abuse about adding a module to Twinkle to mark reverts as being part of an LTA case. You guys might be interested in that discussion. But if you see suspicious IP editors, feel free to add them to my userspace report. I just started to catalog this vandal's IP addresses, and I don't have many of them yet. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:34, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism / block request

Hi Cyphoidbomb - Can you pls. help block the following people/IPs for persistent vandalism: this one, this one, this one, this one. These edits are derogatory and disrespectful. Thank you!Tankytoon (talk) 04:14, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, Cyphoidbomb, pls. disregard this one by Oshwah as he is only doing editing test by reverting previous edit. Sorry my bad. And the rest I am not so sure if it is considered vandalism as I read again the wiki policy, but for sure they are harrassment. Thank you. Tankytoon (talk) 14:03, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) - Tankytoon, not going to do anything here. Some of the disruption you've linked to happened weeks ago. Oshwah's reversion, which introduced "dog" to the article was almost certainly a good faith mistake. He's a respected editor with tons of experience. The remaining IP editor has been warned. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Tankytoon - FYI, AngusWOOF appears to be working on the list of episodes article a little. He's a good editor and will be able to help a great deal. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb - Thank you, but pls. look at the latest revision history of Kalyeserye and looks like first editor that I reported under character section is undoing AngusWoof's edits. Tankytoon (talk) 06:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Tankytoon I've warned him again. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Requesting assistance with User:Dr J Alvarez

Self admitted sock - per response on WP:SPI I submitted here, making personal attacks in edit summaries here, here and others and being disruptive. Could I get a block here for this serial sockpuppeteer? Thanks in advance for your assistance! Scr★pIron 18:53, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

1: Nenokkadine

Cyphoidbomb, let me make it very clear about the present scenario. Telugu film trade used to consider only the distributor share of films as the revenue generated by the films since the inception. After the release of Baahubali, they started taking gross values into account and only a handful number of films' (released before Baahubali) gross values are available. If the revenue is not informed and i write it as a commercial success/failure, you ask for the revenue. When the only possible figure is available, you say it is not permitted. It is not a major success and hence, its gross value may not be available unlike those handful films (which are barely four or five in number). What to do? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Pavanjandhyala, thanks for your note. Let's start with "commercial failure". This isn't typical language used in an encyclopedia to describe a film's box office take, so I don't know why you would choose to use it. It's fairly easy to present the information without adding the needless editorial. We also shouldn't be using "blockbuster", "super-hit", "hit", or other entertainment buzzwords. I don't see anything here that mentions "distributor share", though to be fair, I also don't see the word "gross". This creates an ambiguity that we have to be careful about presenting properly. The value in the infobox should be used to reflect worldwide gross. "Distributor share" ≠ worldwide gross. Please note Template:Infobox film instructions. If that information isn't available, there is no harm in leaving the |gross= blank. As another matter, I don't understand why anyone gives a crap about satellite sales and soundtrack rights. None of this is of importance to WikiProject Film, which still has oversight over all Indian cinema articles. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:31, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Then how to convey the matter that a film was a failure? For example, a film was made on a budget of say 10 crores. It was sold to distributors for 20 crores. The film grossed 35 crores but the distributor share was 17 crores. Now, that film is considered a flop. You want me to say, "It grossed 35 crores on a budget of 10 crores". This line makes one think it was a success as the return on investment is 3.5 times, but the truth is something else. How to convey this correctly to the reader? Please let me know. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Pavanjandhyala I don't think we need to, in all cases, explain box office values. In the case of 1: Nenokkadine, if it cost ₹700 million to make, and only grossed (?) ₹289 million, it should be fairly clear that the film didn't do well, without having to add POV labels like "failure" or "flop". These words might be suitable for an entertainment column, but they are not appropriate tone for an encyclopedia. That said, for situations when it might be unclear whether the film did well or not, we would still be obligated per WP:NPOV to provide neutral wording, like "XYZ grossed ₹NNN million worldwide on a budget of ₹NNN million, which made it commercially unsuccessful." This is far superior to the inappropriate, subjective "failure/flop" labels. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Khosa as candidate for merge

Hello Cyphoidbomb, I hope that you are doing well. Following your changes to the Khosa article, do you believe this would be a suitable candidate to merge (or redirect) to Baloch people? There are numerous other stubs like this, providing two or three sentences about a minor clan/sub-tribe which should most likely roll up to the parent tribe as a redirect, due to the lack of significant coverage. See Category:Baloch tribes. I've also raised a similar question at Talk:Baloch people#Merge:_Baloch_tribes_and_Baloch_people, but am now wondering if we as a community should have a larger discussion as to how we might best proceed with this particular lot. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Yamaguchi先生, in its present state it might be wise to merge/redirect it, though it would be prudent to first check to see what the standalone notability criteria for an ethnic group might be. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Cyphoidbomb - Would you tell me if the edit in the following diff by a blocked editor is a legitimate improvement, ? Atsme 04:44, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Rangeblock?

Just today I saw an IP changing the IPA template on Bill Evans to Esperanto again. I did a range search (which only works if you have a gadget enabled, as I recall) and it seems to me that Mr. 2001.8003.8 is IP-hopping. Thoughts? Eman235/talk 16:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
