Ape89

Welcome

Welcome to my talk page, as you can see below, I have recieved some feedback because of my edits, While I technically could remove some of them I have decided to let them be. If you have anything to say about my edits feel free to start a new section, but please don't be a troll, as this is my talk page I consider it to be my right to decide if some edits on my talk page are inappropriate.

Speedy deletion of ED (energy drink)

A tag has been placed on ED (energy drink), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 20:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ED (energy drink)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article ED (energy drink), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

no WP:OR Please

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Korean People's Air Force, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Please stop. Adding the various bits and pieces of OR turns a useful article into a mess. We cannot determine what info is sourced and what is not. --S. Rich (talk) 16:54, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, though I'd like to point out that as far as my edits in KPAF -article go, the map coordinates for Kwail/Pungchon airbase, which true enough were already there before my edits, with reference to the map service I used and the date when I used it, are IMHO together enough to verify the information I added, the coordinates point a little south-west from the runway I mentioned, link pointing to the runway: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.425296,125.018742&spn=0.03,0.03&t=h&q=38.425296,125.018742 Ape89 (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Ape89. Adding coord for the airfields is certainly helpful. But adding descriptions of the aircraft we see on Google Earth (or other servers) is not. Case in point -- in the example you give we see aircraft parked on the tarmac at the south-east, plus various "aircraft-like" shapes on the grass at the north-west. Are we qualified to identify these shapes? No. As Wikipedians we are not WP:RS. Even counting the various aircraft-like shapes we see is WP:OR. That is, we are not qualified to say these are operational aircraft, non-operational aircraft, or perhaps decoys. Or suppose we look at the runways and speculate about scuff marks that may or may not be visible? Are we qualified to say they are not flying the aircraft? Again, no. Thanks again for the coordinates. --S. Rich (talk) 17:46, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

WP:3RR and WP:ANI

thanks for the heads-up. If you are not sure whether it is a clear breach of WP:3RR or may be, and you are not sure how to fill in the template then you can always leave a message like the one you did on my page at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard and some admin else will hopefully sort it out for you. As it happens I was on line when you posted to my talk page so I could take action, but WP:ANI is more likely to get you a prompt response. -- PBS (talk) 12:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Panzerfaust details sorted

Indeed they did, and in fact you can see on the PZRFST talk page where I managed to get the Swedish version actually sourced. It was an interesting discussion. I was never denying the usage and production of copies by others post-war. But if one wants to be purest about it one can argue that the subject of the article precisely, stopped production in 45. Glad you find it an acceptable fix. Cheers Irondome (talk) 20:13, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Finnish minelayer Pohjanmaa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dual-purpose. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of On Patrol (disambiguation)

Hello Ape89,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username John B123 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, On Patrol (disambiguation) for deletion, because it is unnecessary per one of the criteria at WP:G14.

If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

John B123 (talk) 20:49, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Shoudl have known this was going to happen, if you go check the talk page on On Patrol you'll see that the third person in that discussion suggested creating that disambiguation page, so I did.Ape89 (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

No they didn't, what they said was If there are more albums under that title, it would strengthen the case for a dab page, the operative word here being IF. --John B123 (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2021

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

Points to note:

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

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