Proposed deletion of Blu-ray Region Code

The article Blu-ray Region Code has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Content fork: All information in this article already exists verbatim at Blu-ray Disc#Region codes

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Forteblast (talk) 21:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Your move of Bing and related pages

Hi there Chris1294. I noticed these moves on my watchlist, and I've commented on them at Talk:Bing (Disambiguation), but I wanted to ask you to please not perform page moves the way that you did here. The multiple moves make a mess that has to be cleaned up, and also creates a mess in the page history. If you can't make a page move because of technical limitations, the correct thing to do is ask at Wikipedia:Requested moves, and an administrator will perform the move if it's reasonable to do so. In this case, however, there's a long dispute about how the various Bing pages should be organized, so they shouldn't be moved at all without prior discussion. You can read the talk page I linked for more on the dispute, or if you have any questions, you can ask me here and I'll see them and try to answer. Thanks for reading. — Gavia immer (talk) 01:29, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:74303 10150104574304018 71279079017 7376823 5692375 n.jpg.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:74303 10150104574304018 71279079017 7376823 5692375 n.jpg.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Xfinity Streampix

If 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 Xfinity Streampix 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 web content, 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, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Cntras (talk) 01:59, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Xfinity Streampix

Hi Chris1294, you recently removed a deletion tag from Xfinity Streampix. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 02:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Blanking

Please do not blank pages, as you did to NBCSN on NBC, whatever the reason. Somebody will come to Wikipedia, find a blank page and wonder what on earth is going on. If an article is a duplicate of another, then redirect it. If you feel that an article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, then look at the deletion policy. If it indeed meets the criteria for deletion in your judgement, then nominate it as appropriate. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 23:54, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Fox Sports

Hello. Please note that per a previous discussion on Talk:Fox Sports (United States)#Requested move, the main Fox Sports page should be left as a Disambiguation page -- NOT a redirect to, or cut-and-paste move of, Fox Sports (United States). I also reverted your page move back from Fox Sports (Worldwide) because it essentially results in an "unnecessary disambiguation" title -- that is a title X that redirects to a disambiguation page with a more complex title X (Y)

If you note in that previous discussion that I personally was opposed to this current consensus, but was overruled by a number of Australian editors who watch Fox Sports (Australia) and feel that there should be NO primary topic.

Also, I have noticed that you have also been previously warned above about blanking pages and attempting cut-and-paste moves. Again, please follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, or you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Thank you for your cooperation. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:29, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Redirects

I have reverted some of the redirects you changed regarding Fox Sports. It's not usually appropriate to change one redirect to another - if a new topic arises, usually a disambiguation page is needed.

September 2013

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Style Network a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Esquire Network. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Additionally, this is being discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Style Network/Esquire Network pagemove question. --64.85.214.181 (talk) 17:21, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Verbage regarding "SD feed downgraded to 16x9"

Hi Chris, I noticed your edits regarding formats on several cable channels. While I agree that the info needs correcting, I think the standard sentence you're using can be confusing at best, and inaccurate from a technical point of view. Saying "SDTV feed downgraded to 16:9 480i" has a couple of problems. First, it's the HD feed that's being downgraded so that it can be seen on an SD television. In the TV community it's actually called "downconverting" although "downgraded" is probably more descriptive and a better word for the average reader, so I'd leave that alone. Saying 16:9 is also a little misleading - what the signal becomes is actually a "letterboxed 480i" signal.

I corrected one of these that I noticed by chance, and rather than go through and do the rest myself without consulting you, here's what I propose:

"(HD feed downgraded to letterboxed 480i for SD sets)"

Let me know what you think of that. Thanks! Rockypedia (talk) 01:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2016

If 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 Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2016, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:10, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Dr. K. 05:01, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

HD to streaming in network articles

I am reverting these edits; there is no cause for the removal of this information, and in some cases (like HLN), the streaming platform they use is completely wrong (HLN doesn't have programming it can stream on HBO Max). Please build a consensus on WP:TV to add these sections. Thank you. Nate • (chatter) 22:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

HD in articles

These edits will be reverted and restored as not only are they sourced well, but there are still viewers in 2024 who receive these networks in standard definition, and usually on purpose because of either their equipment or because of DVR space limitations which they avoid by recording in SD instead. We don't remove parts of articles because you deem them no longer applicable personally. Nate • (chatter) 17:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Referring to HD as a "different service" or as a luxury is inaccurate. SD channels do not exist anymore.

HD has been the standard for quite some time and the SD feeds are simply downgraded versions of the HD feed. <<chramo94>> (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Please specify which channels still use HD branding? <<chramo94>> (talk) 17:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

And that doesn't matter; there are still viewers who purposefully watch programming in standard definition, and most providers outside Internet MVPDs still do maintain SD and HD lineups separately. This would be a decision for an WP:RFC with full consensus when and if SD lineups will be phased out for the majority of providers, not your decision to remove them alone. Nate • (chatter) 17:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Your point stands if HD branding was still used by content providers; however, HD has been the standard for over a decade while SD is used by a very small fraction of what's left of cable viewers.

A discussion should be had <<chramo94>> (talk) 17:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Please cite this 'small fraction' as an actual number; even barring that though, there are multiple broadcast channels carried in 480i, and there are multiple services that are SD-only because it's pointless to upgrade (classic television and the like). HD may be a current standard, but SD is still well in use and properly listed in articles, and should not be removed unless it's clear that a network no longer allows carriage in SD. Nate • (chatter) 18:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

The point remains that SD feeds do not exist as providers simply downgrade the HD feed.

But I digress as we are simply rearranging the chairs on the Titanic (cable). <<chramo94>> (talk) 18:16, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at rancis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ——Serial Number 54129 16:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:9D6D:4D6C:4CB2:A165. I noticed that you recently removed all content from a page. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:9D6D:4D6C:4CB2:A165 (talk) 02:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MikeM2011. I noticed that you recently removed content from MTV Classic without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. MikeM2011 (talk) 02:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes I’m aware of the MTV Classic situation. Was just trying to redirect MTV Classic to the only remaining MTV Classic channel which is the US version. Disambiguation page would list the defunct channels. <<chramo94>> (talk) 03:37, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

To turn an article into a redirect, you need to replace the content with #REDIRECT[[Target page]], however as in this case you are essentially proposing that one particular target is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, you would be best starting an WP:RM on MTV Classic (American TV channel) proposing that it be moved to MTV Classic and MTV Classic moved to MTV Classic (disambiguation). Detailed instructions for requesting moves are at WP:RMCM, thanks. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:1823:FC07:8CDE:1454 (talk) 18:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Cool thanks, no harm intended <<chramo94>> (talk) 19:42, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

It's cool, I've been around for years on and off myself and I still have not read all the WP:RULES, and even the intro list can be daunting, to say nothing of all the niche topic-specific stuff and unwritten norms. At most basic though when someone takes issue with a change you can't go too far wrong if you start a discussion on the talk page and leave a link to it on the user talk pages of everyone involved. Usually WP:BRD works fine, sometimes there will be an impasse and then dispute resolution comes into play, but hopefully not too frequently. If completely lost the WP:Teahouse and WP:Help desk are the best places to ask questions. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:6D9B:92F2:3115:C8CC (talk) 20:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Sundance TV, you may be blocked from editing. MikeM2011 (talk) 02:54, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

All SundanceTV international versions are defunct. Was cleaning up and updating article. What is the correct step here? Thanks. <<chramo94>> (talk) 03:38, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Basic cable removals

All undone. It's clearly obvious that a channel's mode of distribution is germane in the lede of the article and should not be removed, lest the average reader misunderstands inadvertently that MTV is available over-the-air with an antenna, which it isn't (which is also a common marketing tactic among terrible antenna distributors). It is 2024 and cable is still around, much to what seems to be your personal dismay. You've been warned on this obfuscation multiple times with multiple parameters, and enough is enough. Nate • (chatter) 16:13, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

they are not considered cable channels by their parent companies, they are tv channels that are available over cable, streaming, fiber

to consider them cable channels is to consider CBS a radio station still <<chramo94>> (talk) 17:27, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The term we go with is basic cable. It's an industry term and any other label is clumsy, overwritten and non-standard, but removing it entirely is unhelpful and obfuscation. Whatever your personal issue is with the cable industry is at large for incorrect vernacular, that's now how Wikipedia works, which is on consensus and for the layperson to be able to know how they're distributed immediately in the lede. And obviously CBS is a radio network, not a radio station. Nate • (chatter) 17:54, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

i have no issues with the cable industry; certain articles are far behind the curve with respect to where the industry is headed and how it's changing.

goal here is to maximize accuracy and remain current <<chramo94>> (talk) 18:11, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

We're here to inform readers with simple and understandable writing. If you want to edit using industry language unfamiliar to a regular reader and insult editors for maintaining that proper style, you should find other topics to edit, because the aim of Wikipedia is never to make the reader confused and lost. Nate • (chatter) 18:28, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

keeping pages updated with new developments is the opposite of confusing readers but i digress <<chramo94>> (talk) 18:55, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
