Cexycy
The contributions that you made had three issues;
- They were unsourced. Yes, they have the advantage that they are not copyright, but the have the disadvantage that nobody else can go to a source to confirm that the information is correct. Wikipedia policy requires that facts can be verified from reliable sources, and forbids original research. I'm sorry, but policy simply doesn't allow you to add facts based only on your memory without citing sources.
- Whilst I don't doubt the truth of the facts that you quote, it is questionable as to whether what happened on a week by week basis is actually sufficiently notable for inclusion, and whether it gives undue weight to what happened last week. It would have sufficed to say that whilst the contest runs as normal with guest presenters, this wasn't always the case when the celebrity version ran.
- The additional facts were added as stark disconnected sentences, rather than being worked into the prose of the article. When adding to an article it is important to ensure that the additions seamlessly work in with the article prose.
Mayalld (talk) 20:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- original research doesn't mean that you actively went out and researched something. It simply means putting yourself up as the source, and it isn't allowed.
- If we look at the info that you wanted to add;
- Aled Jones ran ordinary Popmaster last week - not necessary. The article already tells the reader that standins sometimes run the quiz in the section above, and adding a fact about the ordinary version to the section on the celebrity version doesn't make sense.
- Standins didn't run the celebrity version. Fine, cite http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0082l1h to prove it.
- First contestants, and Jeremy vine hosting. Again, find a cite to show that it is true.
- The whole idea of CPM - this is just your opinion, unless you have an official BBC source that says this, and can't go in.

Speedy deletion nomination of Anne Gadegaard
editA tag has been placed on Anne Gadegaard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Robert McBain
editHello. I noticed that some of Robert McBain is cut and pasted from his site. I suggest that you reword those parts because that is a copyright violation and somebody will zap the article. If you have any questions, please reply here as I am watching your talk page. Thanks. --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:14, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks. I believe the site is just a memorial type thing made by friends and family swho wish to keep his memory alive, which was an added bonus for creating the artice. The only problem is, I could not find a great deal of information elsewhere so it pretty much had to come from his site. I did change a few words, but that was about as good as I could do. If you wish to edit it further, please do. I only created it for the same reason as I have created other articles, so people can benefit. It doesn't ALL have to be my work, I just want to make Wikipedia a more useful site. --Cexycy (talk) 23:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Living Next Door to Alice, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Rapido (talk) 09:39, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- The note about the source left on Rapido's talk page (the source was the liner notes) is well taken. Still, Cexycy, I'd suggest you'd make this clear in the article; there actually is a template: Template:Cite album-notes. Drmies (talk) 05:06, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

SIT Tones
editHi Cexycy. Your adds to SIT tone are very interesting, but there are a couple of issues I see which I hope you address. I'm really not trying to make this hard, it's just that you're unintentionally breaking some rules. Check it out:
First, it looks like your additions are personal observations as you have no reference other than (I assume) hearing these recordings. Unfortunately, this is considered original research and will eventually be deleted by someone for the same reason I did. What you can do (and I hope you do) is find the BT specification manual which outlines what these recordings say, then you can cite it and you're good. (See the cite at the bottom of the SIT page for example). You might be able to find the manual number through someone at https://www.ckts.info/.
Second, recorded messages really have nothing to do with SIT tones and really deserve their own separate page. I have been considering doing such a thing and have actually found the manuals from AT&T which specify what should be said in the US recordings. It would be great if you could find the BT ones and we could put it up together.
Let me know if you're interested and I will create a "recorded announcements" page and integrate it with the rest of the telecom stuff in the next day or so.
Lexlex (talk) 10:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Special information tones. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. -- Lexlex (talk) 11:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
--Carried over from Talk:Special information tones--
Details added seemed to be original research (not cited) and listings of recorded messages are not relevant to an article about the SIT tones. Rapido (talk) 20:55, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, this guy means well but doesn't seem to understand the concept of original research. He keeps adding this stuff. He's already been blocked for 3RR somewhere else. We'll see what happens. Lexlex (talk) 10:23, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- I tried messaging you about this and got no reply. I was blocked unfairly over the 3RR because I made ONE reversal in 3 days, that's not how the 3RR rule works. I think Lexlex does not understand the concept of replying to messages and Rapido does not understand the concept of referencing. The article in question I was blocked over was the Living Next Door To Alice one, where I quite clearly referenced the CDs available and added the track listing. I asked many times how this was not referencing and had no reply. I think you should get your facts right before confronting me over imaginary offences. We all know the sky is blue, do we need a reference to prove it? No! Sometimes common sense, observation and good faith are just as reliable. You think I've done wrong, prove it! --Cexycy (talk) 01:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, yes you did reply but created another topic on my talk page to answer. In future, just indent and we can continue. The fundamental problem here is personal observation. It does not matter whether you think something is obvious - it's still an opinion. It's still a personal observation and subjective. The wiki model requires a verifiable, trusted source other than the writer. Yes, it can be amazingly frustrating and annoying, but when you have folks with radically different views on hot topics (see circumcision or climate change for a good example) you end up with he said she said morass. There ARE people who are color blind who see they sky as gray, but call it blue. But then they also call dirty dishwater blue. Subjective.

- In any case. Your observations and validity are not being challenged. It's just your citing style. Please remember we have all been through this process and understand what you're feeling, it's just that some are more curt than others. Lexlex (talk) 09:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Cexycy wasn't blocked over 3RR, but for edit warring, as he was warned (by an administrator)[1], and did receive advice as to why his edits weren't appropriate [2], but decided to revert back to "his version" included unsourced information, original research and personal opinions, so it was unsurprising that he was blocked. It sounds like hypocrisy to say that I don't understand referencing! Rapido (talk) 13:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- As I said before and as I'll say again, I was referencing a few CDs that were released! That was where the information had come from. Therefore anyone wishing to verify the information can obtain a copy and do it this way, same as with a book or a website. I have asked many times how this can not be classed as referencing and you did not (or should I say could not?) answer. --Cexycy (talk) 23:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- That's easy, just reference the CD name and ISBN number - you're done! Although, you should really create a page having to do with recordings, the reference probably does not belong on this page. If you need help, please let me know. Lexlex (talk) 10:59, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Here should be for discussing the edits to this page, not other articles, or for discussing editors... Any personal dispute with me can be discussed here User talk:NJA#Problem with another user in the section that Cexycy has started. Rapido (talk) 16:32, 3

- I am trying to gently bring your attention to the fact that you are not referencing correctly. You can't use some guy's web page as a source - these are not my rules buddy. You have to use published or notable reference. I feel like I'm spoon feeding this to you, what gives? Also, this ain't the place for random information about announcements. Create a page for it. This isn't the place. Lexlex (talk) 20:24, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you Lexlex for threatening me! You and Rapido wanted references, I gave you one and it has STILL been reversed by Rapido. That site gives you a recording (with the SIT) and a number to call so you can hear it yourself. Once again I have been threatened with being blocked for causing a disruption when really it is people like Rapido who can not understand the referencing and you patronising me when I try to help. It's people like you two which make people not want to bother. --Cexycy (talk) 19:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- How does a webpage with various foreign recordings prove the assertions shown in Cexycy's edit? Regardless, it's a self published source, and is so reliable and well researched that it shows the Moldovan recorded message as "2 eastern languages" rather than Romanian and Russian! Also could Cexycy desist from posting to my talk page, I am a bit tired of continuing assumption of bad faith, and what could be considered personal attacks. Rapido (talk) 20:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- It's a good job I'm not using it to prove a point about languages then isn't it? Stick to the point! It's the German one I'm focusing on. --Cexycy (talk) 21:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Cexycy, you have to lose the chip on your shoulder dude. You're just doing it wrong, face it. You are wrong adding information that has no place here. Wrong in how you choose irrelevant information as a "source" and wrong because when you do screw up, rather than taking the help offered you start pissing all over the place that you are somehow being maligned. It's ridiculous. If you are truly an adult, act like one; take the time to find real sources for your adds or go away. You're wasting your time, my time, and many other people's time by screwing around. Just do it right and no one will bother you, but banging your head harder against the wall isn't going to fix the problem. Lexlex (talk) 20:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Stop swearing at me for a start. Im simply saying the website contains a recording of tbe SIT I am trying to mention, simple, which supports the bit I am trying to add. Yes it is about the SIT and why SITs are useful if callers do not understand the annoucements. How is that nothing to do with the SIT article? And I am an adult. I work hard to find things suitable for inclusion, which I have done. many of the articles I have created ARE notable and remain, despite Rapido's efforts. I am not accepting help from people like Rapido who just try to delete things willy nilly, regardless of subject matter or references. If you take a minute to look at what he has been doing you will understand why I am so annoyed. Rapido is asking me now to desist from posting to his/her talk page, why? Maybe if s/he did not keep going after everything I do trying to revert it or get it deleted I'm sure we would all get on just fine. If references are required, fine, but why reverse the edits even with them? That;s just not right by any stretch of the imagination. --Cexycy (talk) 21:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- You're bright enough to figure out how to do this correctly. Just do it, otherwise you're going to keep having problems with deleted adds. Whining about it does you no favors. Lexlex (talk) 13:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, let me put it as simple as I can. I added a reference which was a website containing a recording. It is not the best of websites, I grant you, however it is nothing to do with me and nothing to do with Wikipedia so therefore it is an independant 3rd party's source which is backing up what I am saying. Where can you find any "Official" sites which will do this sort of thing? I can't really see a great deal of people beinng interested in the whole article to be honest, so finding verification sources from "official" websites can be very difficult.
- Rapido has complained that my additions are not referenced. I placed references in and he STILL removes them. You even told me yourself that inserting a catalogue number would be fine with regards to CDs, so please look at the Living Next Door To Alice article, see the history and tell me what you think. Why can't Rapido use the discussion section like everyone else instead of removing my adds willy nilly? When I ask about this, it's just ignored. He has been told by another administrator not to revert edits without giving a reason but still does it. This is the same user who AFD's album articles on EAV, claiming he thought they were non-notable, when they quite clearly were (and had references).
- I do appeciate help when it is offered, however I do not believe that is what has happened. I do not mind things being removed if there is a reason, but if there is no reason and I have referenced my points they should stay. How would you feel if this was happening to you? Not only that, but if the same user keeps popping up on other articles and doing the same, again with references, it can be very annoying.
- You're bright enough to understand what I am saying. So please offer some genuine help to sort the problem, without having a go at me. --Cexycy (talk) 23:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Do you know what a reference source is? New York Times saying something is a reference source, some dude's website is not. A published manual referencing SIT tones and/or recorded messages (like those available from the CCITT) are a reference source, some dude's website that has a few recording is not. It has to be NOTABLE, and web publishing does not count in this context. Any asshole can put up a website, it does not make it a source.
- You said earlier that you had a CD you were referencing for telephone message recordings. Because it's published and could be used to independently verify what you're claiming, you could use is as a reference.
- But merely mentioning that a CD exists in regard to a dispute over music does not back up YOUR OBSERVATION of something. You CANNOT MAKE OBSERVATIONS here. NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK - IT IS IRRELEVANT and CONSIDERED ORIGINAL RESEARCH!!! This is the point with almost all of the issues/problems on your talk page (See above). You are attempting to do original research and draw conclusions. You cannot. You observations are not relevant, your role as an editor is to FIND PUBLISHED/NOTABLE REFERENCES for what you are claiming. A website or blog does not do it. It won't work. This is your problem.
- Spend some time looking through: Wikipedia:Reliable sources. In fact, read it twice. This is where all your trouble is. The reason I and others are so annoyed with you is that you flagrantly and constantly blow these rules, and then complain that you're somehow being chastised when you're called on it! No one like being the baddy, but when you keep doing this it just gets annoying. No one is "having a go" at you, you're making mistakes, people call you on it, and you cry foul.
- Again, read: Wikipedia:Reliable sources
- Well aren't you a stupid moron then? I am not trying to add what I THINK, it's what I know! The website I was trying to reference had a RECORDING which featured the SIT. Simple. I was not trying to pass the website off as a source, but more the recording. The SIT does indeed act like an international call fail signal, just like an interval signal on the radio.
I did not say I had a CD, that was to do with another article. Don't you read? With regards to that said CD, I was trying to add the tracklisting (which is PRINTED on it) and there were references.

- Are you trying to teach me how to read now? You used caps (shouting), minor language (but still unadvisable) and indeed brusque talk. All I was trying to say was that the website (albeit poor) contained a recording of the SIT, (as well as a number for further verification) that was all. I just read on your personal page that you once lived in Germany. So chances are you may have heard this before. I only wanted to explain that the SIT is useful because people who do not understand the language of the annoucement will still know the call failed because of the international, well known SIT. What is so hard to understand about this? Surely a website like that with an actual recording should be enough to back this up! Readers of the article will see when the information came from and they will have the option of reading further or just disregarding it. But at leats they will have the choice! Btw, I am not complaining bitterly, I'm just persistant. I am a little bitter too, because it seems that even with references things still get removed. --Cexycy (talk) 22:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Rapido (talk) 22:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

In a recent edit to the page Bugz, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Rapido (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

- See my response at the discussion. When you notify other users of category discussions, it's important that you keep the message neutral, otherwise it can appear to be "vote-stacking". That generally means you shouldn't express your opinion in the notice.

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. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:13, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Czechoslovakian language
editThank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Tommy (msg) 19:39, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Arthur Pink
editHello there, Regarding your editing of the above page in the section 'Biography' you have changed the date I put in (1922) to 1932. I did not put in a source as I am not familiar with how to do it, I have attempted to but have reverted it back, so have left it at what I believe to be an incorrect date.I refer you to the book by Iain H. Murray titled, The Life Of Arthur W. Pink, page 23. I would appreciate the source from which you got the date of 1932 as there is very little written or known about Pink. The only two books, apart from a number of short quotes used by a number of writers that I know of is the above and a book by Richard P. Belcher titled Born To Write. Your help would be valued as I have read and have in my possession virtually all of Pinks writings, in books of coarse as there is very little out there of his writings, Studies In The Scriptures being his monthly publication from January 1922 till his death in 1952 from which all of his books were published posthumously. I have looked through all the revisions from when I did my first edit of Arthur Pink until the present and it appears to me that you are the one who changed the date from 1922, which I entered to 1932. Have a look at the history. I may have made a mistake in accusing you, I apologize if it was me. I'm new to editing Wikipedia and am getting my head around a few things, regarding the date that Pink started publishing 'Studies In The Scriptures', a reference needs to be entered, I will do this when I have time and learn Wikipedia a bit better.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jean Adebambo
editA tag has been placed on Jean Adebambo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Simply put, I don't see "a British black caribbean singer, best known for songs in the Lovers Rock genre" as being enough (by itself) to be a claim of significance. A "successful solo career" isn't enough, because nothing was given about how she was successful. If an article is tagged for speedy deletion under this criterion, appears not to make any claims of significance, but includes multiple reliable sources, I'll decline the speedy deletion. However, I've read the references that you used for this article, and they don't appear to be what I'd consider reliable. Would you like to improve the article? If so, tell me at my talk page and I'll restore the article for you to be able to improve it. Nyttend (talk) 22:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Per your request, I've restored the article; you can find it at User:Cexycy/Jean Adebambo. I don't see the sources that you used as being particularly reliable; that's the only real objection that I have. Could you try to find references in mainstream media sources? You may also want to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians, because the people active there are more familiar with finding good sources on musicians than I am. Anything else I can do for you?

License tagging for File:Old BBFC 18 cert logo discontinued in 2002.gif
editThanks for uploading File:Old BBFC 18 cert logo discontinued in 2002.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:06, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer
editHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Acalamari 18:46, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

editThanks for uploading File:Down Under Shaped disc.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
PLEASE NOTE:

- Sorry, I had not read your instructions and answered on your talk page, so here it is here. I have already sited my sources with this article, by taking translations of the other language versions of the article, which have no issues with them. How can they be okay there but not in the English version? It's the same content. Cexycy (talk) 21:32, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Something to make your life easier!
editHi there Cexycy! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.
You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

One hit wonders
editI thought that we had long since settled this amicably, but for some reason you seem to be jumping all over this again. What's the matter with you? Your changes are wrong - plain and simple, but I refuse to be dragged back into this mess of an article. If you're going to single out members of The Young Ones, how come you're not doing it with other members of each group - surely each member should be listed then. I can not find - nor can you - another hit single by the group The Young Ones. Picking out individual members is a ridiculous thing to do - lots of these groups had members who had hits in other line-ups (I can name at least seven others). What you're doing is Original research and is a violation of policy. I have no more to say on the matter other than to tag the entire article.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Caroline Martin
editIf this is the first article that you have 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.
A tag has been placed on Caroline Martin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GimliDotNet (talk) 19:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Will Batchelor
editHello, Cexycy, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Will Batchelor whether the article Will Batchelor should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Will Batchelor, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.
Thanks again for your contributions! DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?
editHi Cexycy,
In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:
- Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
- If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
- What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?
You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchuk wikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!

Your message on my talk page
editYou are an experienced contributor and presumably have read the guidelines, so you know that it is not acceptable to post an article that makes no credible claim of notability and does not include any citations. You also know that the article met the criteria for speedy deletion. I suggest you recreate the article, this time including the necessary references. Deb (talk) 07:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- How can I recreate the article when you have removed everything I did? Cexycy (talk) 21:01, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- If you did not keep a copy, you can request undeletion. You should already know this. Speedy deletion means what it says, and you should not expect a warning when you have created an article that you well know does not meet guidelines. The Dutch wikipedia does not have the same guidelines as the English wikipedia and you should not assume that something is acceptable on English wikipedia just because it's acceptable on the Dutch wikipedia.

edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of country calling codes. 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.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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; 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Please stop adding Northern Ireland to List of country calling codes. The issue has been explained to you by a number of editors. If you continue your disruption, you may be blocked from editing. — kashmiri TALK 13:19, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've had TWO people argue against me here, I don't really consider that a number of editors. You have totally disregarded what I have just said. Can you also explain why Northern Ireland is competing in the Euro 2016 tournament if they are not a proper country? Cexycy (talk) 20:37, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Per sources, Northern Ireland has no international direct dialling code and you need to come to terms with it. Having a team at Euro 2016 does not constitute statehood. Australia competed in Eurovision - will you argue that Australia is in Europe because of that? — kashmiri TALK 12:52, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- There was a time when EUROvision meant Europe but that those days are long gone. Countries outside Europe can enter as long as they are members of the European Broadcasting Union, even if they are not in Europe. If the BBC dropped out and UTV was a member, they could opt in to get Northern Ireland to enter as themselves. They currently can't because the BBC are already in and they represent the UK as a whole. This is why Scotland are not allowed to enter, despite trying to. As mentioned before, dialling +4428 followed by a number will get you a location in Northern Ireland, in the same way that dialling +44 followed by a Crown Dependancy's code will get you a location there. Putting all politics aside, it ticks the same boxes as Northern Cyprus and the Crown Dependancies. The article is about COUNTRIES with dialling codes. Articles like Countries of the United Kingdom confirm Northern Ireland is a country but not a fully independent one, but that is not what this article is about, otherwise only fully independent places would be included and the Crown Dependancies would not be. Cexycy (talk) 02:23, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Dialling +44207 will get you to London, shall we include London, especially considering this? Also, dialling +1202 will get you to New York, and +9111 must certainly be an international dial code for Delhi, India, and +9251 for Islamabad, Pakistan. Why don't you go ahead and include them all? BTW, thanks for explanation on Eurovision. — kashmiri TALK 13:09, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- As I mentioned before, Northern Ireland has been defined as a country (and not by me). It also has a code as we have mentioned. All the other places you have mentioned have their own dialling codes but they are NOT countries. The states are states, not countries. Again, not my definition. That is why I've stated that Northern Ireland is a country AND it has a code, therefore it meets the criteria of the article which is why I believe it should be included.

Do you have any refs to his (non-)death? After all, if Paul Krugman says it's so it must be right, right? (oh wait, this is the web and false news is a big thing...) Anyway, any help would be, umm, helpful. See the talk page. Shenme (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- The article clearly said the death was debunked and I'm sure you are aware that some information is not true. I like to accept that other users look into things themselves and take whatever action they need to. Therefore if someone said the death was debunked and removed the date of death, I assume it was someone acting with good intentions as I have no reason to believe otherwise. There is no need to act sarcastic with me. I made a small mistake (which has been corrected), that it is all. Cexycy (talk) 21:20, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

"deceased" in infoboxes
editIt looks like you've discussed this a few times over several years and seem to feel that this should be included in infoboxes, despite the documentation for the infobox seeming to explicitly contradicting you. (Per Template:Infobox_musical_artist, this field is for "Past members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names." (emphasis added).)
Rather than repeatedly revisiting this issue, I would suggest you open a discussion at [[Talk:Template:Infobox_musical_artist]] to resolve the question and spell it out in excruciating detail for future reference, should anyone need it. - SummerPhDv2.0 21:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

editPlease do not add or change content, as you did at Tim Homer, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SummerPhDv2.0 03:37, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? I added a fact based on Mr Homer's age at his death. I have seen this done before where the year of birth was not known. There was also a source confirming his full name in the article, which I have now reused. Please can you take the time to check my edits before reverting them? Cexycy (talk) 07:58, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- You added a birth date to the article without citing a source or using an edit summary to explain.[3] - SummerPhDv2.0 22:51, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- Firstly, I didn't add a date and I do not need to make a reference as I used basic maths to figure out the two possible years that Mr Homer was born, therefore put them in as is what has been done with other articles of similar nature. This has now been redone by someone else. Also you removed the full name saying it was unreferenced one of the links provided already supported it. I don't believe you have fully looked into what I have done Cexycy (talk) 01:47, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- You added a birth date to the article without citing a source or using an edit summary to explain.[3] - SummerPhDv2.0 22:51, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- You added 1973/74 here. You did not cite a source for this date or give an edit summary explaining so that someone could clean it up for you.
- When adding information to an article, the burden is on you to demonstrate that the information is verifiable. No, I did not read every source cited in the entire article in an attempt to figure out where you might have gotten the information from. It was an unsourced, unexplained addition. I reverted it and gave you a notice that I did so.
- Had you cited a source for your addition there would not have been a problem. Another option would have been for you to mention in the edit summary that you got the birth date range by calculating based on information from one of the sources. While including the cite yourself would have been the simplest approach, once you explained where the information came from, I filled it in.[4] - SummerPhDv2.0 02:10, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- What about the year of birth? You reverted it when I put the approximation in but not when someone else done it. I don't need to reference it, just use basic maths. Cexycy (talk) 20:09, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
- I reverted the year of birth approximation as there was no source cited. Without a source citing his age at death, there was nothing from which to calculate a year of birth range. When I added the calculation template, I included the source you indicated you had used as a cite for the calculation.[5] The template ({{Birth date based on age at death |43 |2017|08|06}}) includes the information used for the calculation (date of death and age), performs the calculation and displays the result in the infobox. The reference tag (<ref name="stuff"/>) cites the source used elsewhere in the article.
- Your addition of the year range gave no indication whatsoever of where you got the information. Yes, you based it on a fairly simple calculation from information given in a source cited elsewhere in the article. However, you need to make it clear where you got the information, preferably through the use of an in-line citation. verifiability requires that you make it clear that the information came from a reliable source. Readers are not expected to dig through the entire article, read all of the sources and figure out where you might have gotten the information. - SummerPhDv2.0 21:57, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

When you boldly make a change and someone reverts you, it is time to discuss the issue, not repeatedly restore the change insisting you are right. This is called the bold, revert, discuss cycle. Instead, we are now at BRRRRRD. What a mess.
Yes, if we have the names of every person who has ever done the voice and we find sources for all of their information and we add all of those sources together we can synthesize all sorts of useless trivia. You care about their nationalities. Someone else is sure their astrological signs are important. Another editor wants to know who the oldest and youngest voices are. Who was the first LGBTQ voice? How many of the voices are Londoners? Men vs. women? What football clubs do they support? We can go about doing it all day -- if we ignore that it's all synthesis: combining material from two or more sources to support a claim that none of them directly state.
WP:SYN protects the project from factual mistakes, libel and, in this case, trivia. If the nationality of the people voicing the damned talking clock is anything but trivial, independent reliable sources will discuss it.
If you disagree with me, consider the fact challenged. You will need either a source confirming the claim or a demonstrated consensus to ignore WP:V for this one critical fact that MUST be added. - SummerPhDv2.0 01:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, where do we start? If you call the BRITISH Speaking Clock, you would expect to hear a British voice wouldn't you? In most cases you would be right, except for the one example I mentioned, that was all. There is nothing whatsoever ever regarding the British Speaking Clock that would make one consider if there were any LGBTQ voices, or ones who support a certain team, etc. They would not actually affect the sounds of the voices would they? Nationalities would be a strong influence on the accent and the dialect. All the voices have been listed in the article with links to articles about the people concerned. All of which confirm the nationalities. This confirms the sentence that I added. Therefore saying it is unreferenced is just not true. I simply used the information already provided by Wikipedia articles. Therefore if I am wrong, the articles are wrong. You gave me the same type of grief over the year the late Tim Homer was born as sources only stated the date of death and his age. It was quite easy to whittle it down to two years so I put them in and you kept reversing it, only for another user to go and do the same thing which you did not challenge.
Why do I always have my contributions removed until I can prove they should stay? How about you leave them until you can prove they should be removed? Cexycy (talk) 15:47, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have since made a request on the talk page regarding the nationalities as you requested, but I still don't see the need to be honest. Cexycy (talk) 05:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- This is a clear case of synthesis, contrary to our policy. "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." You do not have a source that explicitly states that the voices, with one exception, are British. Instead, you are combining material from multiple sources to reach a conclusion, which is exactly what the policy says not to do.
- As to why you have to be able to verify what you add, it's WP:V, one of Wikipedia's five pillars -- the very foundations of the project. - SummerPhDv2.0 05:44, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- You're not making sense here. I have explained to you that there is already unbiased references on Wikipedia to verify the nationalities of the voices used. You have also completely ignored what I said about your actions regarding Tim Homer. How come I can't make such edits but other people can? Cexycy (talk) 14:02, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, there are very likely sources giving the nationalities of various people. That is not the question. You are trying to say that one person on a list is not British. You do not have a source that says "of all the people who have recorded for the talking clock, X is the only one who is not British".
- Instead, you are trying to take information from multiple sources and combining that information to say something new that none of the sources say. That is the very definition of synthesis: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."
- Additionally, at Interview disc you have again ignored WP:BRD. I have re-reverted your edit there and started a discussion on the talk page. You added an interview that is clearly not an "interview disc" to an article about interview discs. Addind additional sources will not address the issue. I'm not sure if you did not read my edit summary, did not understand it or chose to ignore it. (An edit summary from you would have been helpful.) - SummerPhDv2.0 16:01, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- I'm getting quite tired of your reverts and threats into the bargain. I have explained that what I have added is NOT my own research and there are points supporting it. As with my point in the Interview Disc article. I don't think you are taking what I say seriously becuase you appear to be reverting all my edits regardless. You have clearly not READ my edit on the interview disc as I did not say the Morressey thing was an interview disc and you just showed yourself up by asking if every interview recorded was an interview disc. Are you serious??? Cexycy (talk) 21:27, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- What you have added is synthesis as I have explained. Another editor on the talk page has concurred.
- At Interview disc, you either ignored or did not understand the edit summaries and discussion on the talk page. You need to discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Edit warring is not an acceptable substitute for disccussion. - SummerPhDv2.0 00:27, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have responded to the Interview Disc article talk page. One thing I don't quite get is that if you start and keep reverting my edits, aren't YOU the one starting the edit war? I'm still quite annoyed you have not responded to what I said about the Tim Homer revert. It really does seem that you look at ALL my edits and revert them without too much consideration but if anyone else does the same thing, that's just fine! Cexycy (talk) 02:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- Edit warring is not a matter of who started it. There are two basic practices surrounding the issue.
- The first is the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If you boldly make a change to an article and someone reverts your change, restoring your change without discussion or addressing the issue is the beginning of an edit war. Instead, discuss the issue on the article's talk page. If no one responds in a reasonable period of time, you can restore your edit. Otherwise, you will need to wait to see what consensus develops. Maybe you'll agree with the other editor. Maybe they'll agree with you. Maybe there is a compromise that both of you will accept. Maybe not. Policy and guideline based discussion will usually find an answer.
- The second practice is addressing the issue. I reverted your addition at Interview disc because the material you added is not about the subject of the article. I said, "that is not an "interview disc". You responded by restoring your edit without comment. That does not address the issue in any way, it's more of a "No, I WANT this here." That is not productive. I reverted again, pointing to WP:BRD and asking you to discuss the issue, adding an explanation that the material is off topic. You responded by restoring your edit without prior discussion, saying that there are sources. Again, this does not address the issue of the material being off-topic.
- I do not see any remaining question about your edits to Tim Homer. You added information without meeting WP:BURDEN. After you explained where the information came from, I corrected the article so that the information is now verifiable. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- With the Tim Homer article, you removed my edit giving the two possible years he was born as the date of birth was not known, however the date of death and his age at death were known, so it was quite easily to work it out however you kept reverting my edit. Someone else did the same thing and you did NOTHING. Therefore you can't blame me for feeling a little narked because this shows you just having a go at me personally. I could not find a source confirming his date of birth or just the year but it WAS verifiable with the information already held, which you DID accept but from another user. Lo and behold, when I mentioned this, you did not respond to it! As with the Speaking Clock voices, it's funny that I can't find a source saying Mae Whitman is the only non-British voice when all voices are verifiable on Wikipedia itself. Maybe you would accept this from another user as well? There is also a statement mentioning UK celebrities took part. This was not by me and you have not opposed it. Where is the source to say they were all British? The Morressey bit was purely an example of the quality of recording which usually make it onto Interview Discs, nothing more, which you would have noticed if you read what I put. It seems like nothing I say, regardless of how right it is, will be accepted by you. Would you accept that from another user, I wonder? Cexycy (talk) 20:45, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- Your Tim Homer edit was neither verifiable nor explained. Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core policies. You must cite sources and use edit summaries. I did not "(keep) reverting (your) edit". "Someone else did the same thing and (I) did NOTHING"? Nonsense. Further, I did not accept it from another user. I reverted you one time, you explained where you got the information on this page and I corrected it in the article. There were neither multiple reverts nor other editors.
- You do not have a source saying Whitman is the only non-British voice. The statement is not verifiable. Synthesis is not acceptable.
- The "Morressey bit" is off topic. The article is about interview discs. The material you added is not.
- There are problems other than these in various articles. That I have not addressed every problem in every article has nothing to do with these issues. - SummerPhDv2.0 22:54, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

editYour recent editing history at Interview disc shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You boldly made a change. I reverted you. If you disagree with the reason I gave, it is time to discuss the issue, per WP:BRD.

editHello, I'm Lard Almighty. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rolf Harris, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The Daily Mail is not a reliable source. Lard Almighty (talk) 16:13, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
All the stories in the various sources are quoting the Daily Mail. In order for us to add this, a reliable source needs to report on it independently. Thank you. Lard Almighty (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

editPlease stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Fifth Beatle, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 02:33, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- How was it not sourced? I was referring to a specific episode. That said episode can be easily accessed and confirm the point I was making. Cexycy (talk) 23:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Three problems: Citations belong in the article you are changing, not by linking another Wikipedia article. Read WP:V and WP:WINARS. Secondly, Lisa the Vegetarian has nothing about Fifth Beatle. And worst of all, you added the edit previously, it was reverted for lack of sources, and you added it again. Read WP:EW. Sundayclose (talk) 23:32, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- "Lisa the Vegetarian has nothing about Fifth Beatle", you serious? I was talking about the episode itself, which is widely available. That is the reference. Cexycy (talk) 09:58, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- That's beside the point. You must cite in the article that you change, and linking the episode (as you did) is not a citation. And you should not have restored the content unsourced after it was removed for lack of sources. Sundayclose (talk) 13:37, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Napoleon Xiv B side Original Issue.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Napoleon Xiv B side Original Issue.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
