How do we source things like Farmville?

I mean, I have a winged unicorn myself, I can take a screenshot, is that valid? Cob (talk) 00:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

No. See WP:RS for guidelines on reliable sources. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 00:55, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Clickradio launch party

Here's a link to the pictures of the Clickradio launch party: Patrick McMullen. Mr. McMullen is the high-society photographer in New York and it's likely that he charged over $100,000 for that night. The party cost, in total, close to $2 million and that was exposed in the suit involving Hank Williams in the mid-2000s.

I'm guessing you're Hank and you already know this, though. No one else cares about Clickradio except for Hank and for the people who got burned when that ship went down. 12 Grimmauld Place (talk) 01:47, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Paranoid much? I couldn't care less about Clickradio, but I do care about having well referenced articles. You should try it. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 01:55, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Removing AFD template

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Denis L. Feron. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Yunshui 雲水 09:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

EXCEPT that AFD doesn't exist and the previous editor removed a lot of content. So I've reverted your revert. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 09:21, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I apologise, that was a completely bad call on my part. Yunshui 雲水 09:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
No worries, you caught and corrected it. :) 69.181.251.214 (talk) 09:23, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

对称群

Seem like you and I are destined to clash today - I've changed the speedy tag you put on 对称群 to an A10. It's not nonsense (it makes sense in Chinese), but it is a pointless fork of Symmetry group. Yunshui 雲水 09:32, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Nominating articles for deletion

Hi. Thanks for nominating A New Dimension in Social Networking for deletion; this has now been done. Just a reminder, can you please post a note on the creating editor's talk page notifying them that the article has been nominated for deletion? This is a courtesy, which gives them the opportunity to make improvements. If you look at the bottom of all deletion notices, there is generated text that can be copied and pasted onto the editor's talk page. Thank you. Stephen! 09:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

English

I'm a linguist and I'm trying to make Misplaced Pages more readable to its users who are not native English speakers. As you know, the English Misplaced Pages provides many information which has not yet been covered in other Wikipedias. I think redirects from other languages to English help Misplaced Pages readers a lot. Eternal Prince of Persia (talk) 09:39, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Arkham City

Rather than engage in an edit war over the Batman: Arkham City articles, let us come to a compromise regarding how much information should be posted. I will make myself very clear: Simply because a character has what you call a "minor" appearance is no reason to strip the entire section down to one sentence (see below). That sort of work simply isn't going to wash. Therefore, what I propose is this: characters will only appear in side missions should be allowed at least three sentences of description. Cameo appearances should be allowed one sentence in addition to the standard ".... makes a cameo". As for the Penguin article, all this gameplay garbage about "on Level 3 he did this and that" for the Cobblepot Caper should be removed and some simpler backstory put in its place. Regarding the character's specific Arkham City section, I propose it contain only as many sentences as is featured on the Two-Face article, which is still more data than the bare-bones version you keep supporting. Is this acceptable?

Thank you for your time, --Katangais (talk) 19:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

This is a discussion that should take place at the Comics Project, not on any one article or editor's talk page. But in general, no, I don't agree with your proposal. How much space to be allocated should be balanced based on the overall length and size of the article. A huge, sprawling Video games section that almost equals the length of a 70 year comic book history, to use your phrasology, simply isn't going to wash. A minor appearance in one game should get minimal coverage in the character's article. Anything else deemed worthy of inclusion should be limited to the article on the game itself. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 19:55, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I concede several notable points and have removed most of my add-ons, but your attempt to shift this debate to the Comics Project, in my opinion, is an attempt to simply shift it away from yourself. You cannot simply "claim" one page on Misplaced Pages and undo any edits which you deem is unacceptable from it every single time. If you wish to make one exceptional argument for the Penguin page, please do not attempt to take it up with another article that may have a varying level of detail. To keep reinstating a poorly-written, gameplay-based type text from the Cobblepot Caper in particular while continually using "It's too much like a game guide" argument for your own reverts of another's edits is, in my opinion, especially hypocritical.
Thank You, --Katangais (talk) 21:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
No, I prefer that a larger array of people be given the opportunity to weigh in on the issue. You know, consensus, one of the bedrock principles of this site? 69.181.251.214 (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

I noticed the message you recently left to a newcomer. Please remember: do not bite the newcomers. If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. Here you advise the editor about creating a username that is not representing a group. After they follow your advice, here you accuse them of sock puppetry. Please assume good faith, especially when a new editor follows advice that you give them. EricSerge (talk) 01:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
I don't consider leaving a COI/Username templated message to be biting the newcomers and will continue to use it and other UW templates. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 02:08, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Evidence for Theropod.

, , and many more. All you need to do to find more websites claiming a kiwi theropod's existence, type "NZ Theropod" into Google.

Usage of "Only Warning" Tag

Hello. I noticed your warning to User:Tonypower4242. While his edit was obviously blatant vandalism, I don't think it is bad enough for an "Only Warning" tag. That tag should be used judiciously; the most common criteria used, I've found, are for edits to BLP articles that could result in a lawsuit or destruction of templates. Marechal Ney (talk) 03:11, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

He referred to somebody as a "faggot." That type online bullying is ALWAYS going to get an only warning from me, without fail and without hesitation. Too many people have been bullied to death already. 69.181.251.214 (talk) 03:36, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
