Your edit to R.U.R.

edit

Your statement concerning the relationship between Breaking Bad and R.U.R. needs a citation from a reliabale source in order to be added to the article. Your own observations, analysis, interpretation or conclusions are not allowed per our policy on original research, you must provide a citation to show the connection. Please do not continue to add it without such a citation. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

How is my citing the matching surname and character quality parallels a different allusion than the approved statements of "reliabale" which also do not have creator verification, "In the 1995 science fiction series The Outer Limits, in the remake of the "I, Robot" episode from the original 1964 series, the business where the robot Adam Link is built is named "Rossum Hall Robotics." In the "Fear of a Bot Planet" episode of the animated science fiction TV series Futurama, the Planet Express crew is ordered to make a delivery on a planet called "Chapek 9" which is inhabited solely by robots. "Rossum" is the Czech word for "Reason", could have just been using it purely that way, since there is also no source for those entries? Please differentiate, else I am entitled to list this contribution since I stating surname only, as was listed on my last edit. NaturalWon (talk) 03:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Since I have contested your information, you are required to provide a reliable source to support it - what you provided above is a textbook case of original research, which we do not allow. Please see our policy on verifiability:

Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here, you're an editor without a lot of experience, but please do not restore this information again. The next time you do I will bring it to the attention of an admin, and you will be in danger of being blocked from future editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:37, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

With all due respect, who is "our" and who are you to decide the viability of one undefined source to another? You did not answer my inquiry (since you are the RUR gatekeeper) of how an unfounded by the creator source simply stating a matching name of a Futurama episode and a matching name and character similarities of a Breaking Bad character to one in this play are different? There is no statement from the Futurama creator stating that R.U.R. was their influence, nor the other unsourced pop culture references? So I am now by the power of my inquiry contesting the unfounded viability of unresourced pop culture references of all same names mentioned in this article. Please provide sources to keep them posted, else all we have here are non-verified coincidentally same surnames for all cases. This is my right as an editor apparently.

"With all due respect"? I don't know you from a hole in the ground, and the only respect I might have for you is in your edits to improve Wikipedia, which, to this point, have been deficient - which is to say, I have no particular respect for you at all at the moment. What you need to do is STOP BEING A FUCKING DICK and provide some sources for your contention that there is a connection between Breaking Bad and R.U.R.'. Your personal conviction that there is a connection might well be true, but it doesn't mean shit without a reliable source to back it up. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:30, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ken, you showed your true lack of intellect and class as you resort to vulgar language on this talk page, and I'm still not receiving your point, which I will bring up to the Wiki folks. Now what I am asking from YOU is that you provide reliable sources for the other unsourced pop culture R.U.R. references, as I did respectfully change the language to say "matching names" as oppose to assuming the creator was inspired, which is allowed on the other listings. There are no linked sources, as it is only someone elses coincidental personal convictions for the others, same as my conclusions. I was not inaccurate in posting they have the same surname and the Czech and trade connection. So why can it be assumed that "Rossum Hall" and "Doctor Rossum" can be mentioned, but not an laborer turned scientist named Todd Alquist? This is reasonable to ask? You demand of me, now I demand of you, other wise its heresay coincidence. Now I have a real life to attend to. NaturalWon (talk) 22:43, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Jprg1966. I noticed that you recently removed some content from R.U.R., with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jprg1966 (talk) 05:17, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Another member is removing my contributions because of lack of sources, so I removed the accompanying pop culture references without sources as well. Doing my duty to keep all information verifiable and not speculative to subjective interpretation without articles or links confirming from the creative resources. My apologies for not including the edit reason upon deletion. Best. NaturalWon (talk) 05:21, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Your "duty" is to provide sources for the information you're trying to add to the article. Removing other material is a violation of our policy against pointy edits. (You do understand that these links I'm providing you are to Wikipedia policies, yes? You are reading them to understand what is being told to you, yes?)

Your recent editing history at R.U.R. shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
In this particular edit warring case, you need to provide a source per our policy on verifiability. Unsourced material, when challenged, should not be reinserted into articles. Thanks.--regentspark (comment) 17:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
