RCA Victor discography

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of RCA Victor discography, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.bsnpubs.com/mgm/mgm10.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Your images in TV station articles

edit

I have removed all of the images you have added to these articles, not only because WP:TVS has specifically disallowed the use of more images than needed in articles (especially for logos), but because they have been mis-represented as your own work and been uploaded to Commons under inappropriate licenses. Expect them to be deleted post-haste and be warned that in the future, most logo images should be uploaded locally to en.wiki and be approrpriately licensed. Re-adding them will not be tolerated.

The article List of Guild Home Video and Pathé releases has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of data. Article is un-sourced and contains a catalog-style listing, with no claim that any of the entries in the listing are notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of List of Guild Home Video and Pathé releases for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Guild Home Video and Pathé releases is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Guild Home Video and Pathé releases until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — IVORK Discuss 23:31, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Interview

edit

Hi, I'm a journalist who's been working on a series about interesting stories on Wikipedia and Wikipedians. For example, I wrote about these two teenagers who edit articles for the NY subway and why St. Patrick's Wikipedia page is excellent. I'm working on a story about notable individuals who have passed away in 2018 and wondered if I could interview you about Anthony Bourdain's page. Could we by chance connect over email via stephenbharrison at gmail dot com .... Thank you! Stephenbharrison (talk) 20:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from My Baby Loves Lovin'. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. WP:SONGCOVER also applies. Toddst1 (talk) 01:20, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Butch Hartman, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Also WP:HOUND applies. Toddst1 (talk) 01:21, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Sue Rose. Toddst1 (talk) 01:22, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. It's clear you are the same editor who was disruptively editing as 2600:8800:ff10:1200:f00c:f8bd:78de:50d1 (talk · contribs) Toddst1 (talk) 01:30, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  —C.Fred (talk) 01:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Jesse Coffey, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Lara Jill Miller have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Julietdeltalima (talk) 18:39, 4 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited WLNE-TV, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC Kids (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

  Please do not add or change content 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. Aoi (青い) (talk) 20:59, 16 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". This is not a minor edit. Aoi (青い) (talk) 21:01, 16 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on New Line Cinema. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Aoi (青い) (talk) 23:34, 16 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at New Line Cinema. Please provide better sources and do not write these like an advertisement either. IanDBeacon (talk) 00:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The issue with your Associated Artists Productions edits isn't the sourcing; it's that the information is about very minor things and isn't relevant for a general encyclopedia article. Minutiae about what logos were used on what shorts is only of interest to particularly obsessive Looney Tunes fans. Also, many of your edits seem identical to Nate Speed edits, minus his distinctive edit summaries, which is...interesting. Trivialist (talk) 01:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hi-Tops Video; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. IanDBeacon (talk) 02:35, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

An explanation and an apology

edit
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Jesse Coffey (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I know about a user named Nate Speed, a man who likes to preserve his versions of articles and threaten those who want those versions removed. Although I do not approve of his behavior, I thought some of his edits were interesting and have recently begun pondering whether they could be preserved if they were edited by a less controversial person. I am that less controversial person. I spent the weekend testing this rule. But unfortunately, I noticed that my efforts have backfired. But I want to reiterate that I am not a sock of Nate Speed. I just used his edits for certain articles. I am sorry for causing inconvenience to you.

Decline reason:

You spend the vast majority of this unblock request explaining you are a sockpuppet of Nate Speed, then try to conclude by saying you are not a sockpuppet of Nate Speed. Your conclusion doesn't follow from the rest of your unblock request. Additionally, you are hardly free of controversy. Your edits have been so inappropriate as to previously receive a block for your bad behaviour, and to receive numerous warnings stretching back months. Best we leave you blocked. Yamla (talk) 10:28, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I feel my quote had been taken out of context. I stated that I was using Nate Speed's edits but was not a sockpuppet of his. I do notice that I had been blocked here once beforehand, for 31 hours. This was for something that I feel should be best left in the past. I have learned from my incident and did not expect my use of his edits to be as controversial as they appear to have been. I again want to apologize for causing inconvenience for you. Jesse Coffey (talk) 10:32, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Resignation until further notice.

edit

I have tried to get myself unblocked from editing on the free encyclopedia that is Wikipedia. Unfortunately, it seems my efforts at doing so will fail. I have been writing here for the past four years, editing articles on various topics relating to entertainment and media, and making what I feel are necessary adjustments to those articles. I have had innumerable controversies along the way. This recent one, the one where I was using Nate Speed's edits and was, I feel, falsely called one of his socks for that, might prove to be the most fatal, as my block for this currently stands at an indefinite expiration time. I want to take the time to apologize to those who had cautioned me about the way I acted here, and/or for the way I have acted toward them. These users include CorenSearchBot, IVORK, Toddst1, C.Fred, Aoi (青い), IanDBeacon, NinjaRobotPirate, Yamla, AngusWOOF, and Trivialist. I have caused inconvenience for all of these users, and for that I direct my apologies. I will, after this post, take a pause from editing Wikipedia. Hopefully, all will be forgiven and I will edit again. Until then, goodbye. Jesse Coffey (talk) 12:07, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
