Happy New Year!

Dear Nightscream,
HAPPY NEW YEAR Hoping 2015 will be a great year for you! Thank you for your contributions!
From a fellow editor,

Happy New Year!

Dear Nightscream,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Thank you for all your consistently excellent work through the years. Last year was a hard one, both physically, thanks to medical ailments, and on Wikipedia, thanks to a plethora of Wikitrolls. Colleagues like you make staying here worthwhile. Here's to a better year to all!
--Tenebrae (talk) 23:24, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Another excessive details

I know what you are saying. That time, nobody bothered to do your version of summarized details when it came to Collector's appearance on Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and sorting his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe which I did my best on both of them before your corrections. Did I leave anything out? --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Wineville Chicken Murders

Regarding Wineville Chicken Coop Murders: I am the person who wrote the sentences that you are asking to be reviewed and further clarified. Please check out the talk page for Wiki Wineville Chicken Coop Murders and my response. I think I have provided clarification to your questions. Beaconboy (talk) 16:31, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Nightscream: When it was all said and done (editing on Wineville Chicken Coop murders), it seems to me that you (once again) made a big tadoo out of what were basically a few grammatical errors. You came roaring in, demanding corrections, leaving your personal comments on the Wiki Article ("Fix this"), which is against policy. While I totally respect your understanding, knowledge and application of English Grammar, I strongly suggest that you begin to temper your impulses to attack people who may not be as well educated about the proper usage of grammar as you are. After all, it was just a few grammatical errors that are now corrected. Your approach made it sound to those reading, that the entire section about 'The Boy Whom Came Forward' was nothing more than a lie, which was not correct. You turned a mole-hill into a mountain. Quite frankly, when you view the number of people whom have read the article (just in the last year), you are the only person whom complained so vociferously about nothing more than a few sentence restructures. Get a grip, we are not speaking about saving lives here. It is just an article, and a more polite and specific approach with others in the future, will only help you to achieve the edits that you feel are necessary. I was amazed that by your own admission, you stated, that while you had not read the source for a quote you questioned, that somehow you knew it was wrong and felt it needed to be corrected. My best to you, but you should spend some time in your life learning how to work with others, instead of focusing so heavily on grammatical errors. That will serve you well in the future. I can see that I am not the only person whom has complained to you about your tact on your talk-page. Beaconboy (talk) 14:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Beaconboy, I have no idea what you're talking about. I did not "demand corrections", I did not "attack" anyone, and I certainly never said nor implied that anything in the section was a lie, except in your imagination. I simply pointed out that some passages, as written, made no sense, which is true, and did not require a reading of the source, grammar is not source-specific (even if meaning was, and therefore, would've required it to clarify the matter). Thanks again for your help. Nightscream (talk) 15:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I will leave it like this. You state that you have no idea of what I was talking about. I think that about sums up why I wrote you in the first place. What is normal tact conversation for you can be considered agressive fanatical attacking by others. I get it that you have no idea what I am talking about............that is why I wrote you...........to try to get you to look beyond yourself and consider your tone and how it impacts others in their reaction to you. My best to you in the future. Beaconboy (talk) 17:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about, because in fact I did not attack anyone, say or imply anything in the section was a "lie", and there was nothing inappropriate about my tone. My messages were perfectly polite. Nightscream (talk) 20:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

It's quite all-right. Good-day to you sir. Beaconboy (talk) 03:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Consensus again

You seem to have serious problems with understanding the notion of "consensus", given your latest edits to Molly Crabapple. Three editors supported the changes, while you were the lone editor against; nevertheless, you recently removed those changes with a bizarre appeal to WP:OPENPARAGRAPH, which completely contradicts your claim and supports my edit. I'm getting the sense that English is not your first language, because not only did you misread the MOS, you went on to add content that does not appear to be English. You wrote: "In 2013 Crabapple traveled to documented a trip the detention camp..." among other stuff. Normally, I would just ignore this and add the material back in and fix your content, but since you keep pulling this nonsense in multiple articles, I'm bringing it to your attention before I escalate the matter. I should clarify, if you think you are removing this material because of BLP concerns, you couldn't be more wrong. Crabapple is proud of her past and talks about it in every interview at every available opportunity, and considers herself an advocate on these issues. So your motivation, which I cannot begin to understand, has me very confused. If, however, Crabapple told you that she doesn't want it there, I would be open to considering her view in light of that fact. However, based on what I've read about her, I don't think she really thinks that. Viriditas (talk) 23:51, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Viriditas please don't assert bad faith to an established editor, and also don't assume a single typographical error means that same editor is not a native speaker of English, especially in light of Nightscream's thousands of edits over the past several years. I'm not familiar with the dispute (my only connection is as his mentor), per WP:BLP, unless some political stance or advocacy is well-documented, and relevant, our best standard is to keep it out. FWIW, I teach legal writing, and have a doctorate, and have been known to make typos; we're all volunteers here, so have compassion on your fellow editors. Bearian (talk) 03:31, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Nightscream removed content that three editors (including myself) found acceptable. He also cited a MOS that did not support his rationale, but actually supported mine. Further, this is not the first time he's done this. I have had to forcibly remove several articles from my watchlist because of him, and he's well aware of this. AGF is not a suicide pact, so please don't lecture me. I am able to edit harmoniously and collaboratively with most users. Nightscream is not one of them. Every time he shows up there's a major problem. Viriditas (talk) 03:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Nightscream, the version you edited had so many major problems that I reverted to the last good version. I was very surprised to see that you had, in at least two places, ignored the previous discussion and consensus. I have to ask, just what were you thinking? You knew quite well that this had already been discussed, yet you pretended like it never occurred. You removed content from the lead against consensus, and you restored the subsections after we already discussed it. Your obsession with removing this lead summary and adding totally unnecessary subsections is quite disruptive. Further, your content additions were quite bad, full of grammar and spelling errors, as well as time-sensitive material that didn't belong. I will have to ask you to participate on the talk page once again. I'm getting very tired of your bad behavior. Viriditas (talk) 04:23, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Rebecca Guay Infobox Pic

Hey please stop reverting the current pic on Guay's page. It's often difficult to get permission from people to use images on Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons, especially artists. She sent this one because she wanted something more current than that old pic. Please respect that. -Object404 (talk) 07:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

As I stated on your talk page, Rebecca Guay does not own her Wikipedia article, and does not get to dictate its content. If Ms. Guay does not like the current Infobox portrait, then she can work with the editing community by providing other photographic choices of equal or superior quality. The other photo was a blurry/out-of-focus shot of her looking off to the side, which is not the best choice for the Infobox portrait. Whether it is more recent is irrelevant to this, and moreover, it and the other photo that was further down in the article have been deleted from the Commons, due to copyright issues. If Ms. Guay or some other party would like to upload more photos whose copyright they own, I would be more than happy to initiate a consensus discussion with other editors here, as I have many times in the past, so that the community can decide which photo is best.

Also, new messages go at the bottom of a talk page, not the top. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, but my time is valuable, and a coder, web developer and UI/UX specialist, it's bad practice to make users scroll through lines of content to get to where they need to go. I'll keep posting comments at the top of pages where newer ones can be seen and addressed easily. If the world worked that way, you'd be checking e-mail by scrolling through the bottom of potentially pages of your stack, instead of seeing it at once at the top of your inbox. All new updates are best placed at the top of pages, like in any software developed by the community. You may post your comments at the bottom of my talk page, but I prefer you post them at the top where I can immediately see them. thank you. -Object404 (talk) 15:49, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey bro. Thank you for wielding the threat of the banhammer over this at my talk page and letting me know that my good-faith contributions to Wikipedia which take a significant amount of time investment (where I always cite all my sources - not easy work to have to weed through hundreds of articles or archives to dead & expired links to find those obscure nuggets of information that the average netizen might now know), and a certain level of emotional toll and exhaustion, are not welcome. I implore you to visit the following link and read this (relatively recent) article, and really, just give it a really good long read. Please scroll down and read all the comments and take a good, long, hard look at what you are doing here:

MIT Technology Review: The Decline of Wikipedia

By Tom Simonite on October 22, 2013

http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/

This is not just a simple suggestion, it's a "must-read" for all Wikipedia editor/volunteers, especially for those who have long-time experience, have been around for years, and have contributed a lot (like you). It may behoove you for me to ask you to read it (it's really more of a plea), but please, you really do need to. (the conversations in its comments section are relatively civil and it's a good discussion that every Wikipedian will find valuable) It's crisis that needs to be addressed because the environment for people who genuinely want to contribute and have the capability and subject-matter expertise to contribute can become really, really toxic and it's something that needs to be fixed. It would be great if you could leave an e-mail address or some place where we can chat in private because there's stuff that's not for public consumption (like in a Wiki talk page) that I'd like to discuss. I'm not quite sure how this works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Emailing_users but it would be great if you could help me out with it. Best regards and thanks. -Object404 (talk) 23:49, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Superman: Earth One

Hi, can you help copy edit the summary I made for vol. 3? Thanks.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatoes info in the Kingsmen: The Secret Service article

"RT does not "judge" or "call" films anything. They derive a consensus based on what others call it or judge it". I am afraid you are labouring under a misapprehension if you believe this to be true. While many reviews give a form of score, many do not, and Rancid Tomatoes will judge the carefully balanced prose of the critic and strip all nuance out to boil it down to a mind-numbingly crass and dumbed down statistic. Take the Kingsman review, in Variety, written by Peter Debruge. Not a single score, grade, average or rating to be seen, and yet RT has judged it to be positive. However you try to cut it, RT have ascribed something to that review which is not inherently stated by the reviewer.

As to RT's self-claimed "consensus", there is no such thing. What RT shows to is not a consensus: it is a summary of some key points. The OED defines a consensus as "Agreement in opinion; the collective unanimous opinion of a number of persons". That is a long way from what RT call a consensus. Regardless of all that, we are under no compunction to slavishly follow their name for a film summary, and can call it what on earth we like, and I see no reason to start changing the definition of a word just to fit with one company's misuse of it. – SchroCat (talk) 08:34, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Yet again you edit war over the Rancid Tomatoes score. THERE IS AN OPEN DISCUSSION ON THE ARTICLES TALK PAGE. I suggest you read it, and join in, rather than edit war to your preferred wording: there is a specific consensus against your wording, so your edits are.t constructive. – SchroCat (talk) 09:06, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Serenity comics

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Serenity (comics) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Serenity comics. 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 (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). 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.

Big Hero 6-related and more

I got your message and it's corrections. I know you don't like some sub-headings like the Big Hero 6 members who had one appearance in media so far. The media appearance for Hiro Takachiho and Baymax had sub-sections added last year to separate their movie appearance and their video game appearance. I had no idea you had an issue against that. Since you have sent a previous message about how "Updating media appearance" is not a good edit summary, I have been trying other ways to describe them like "Adding details to history," "Adding details to media appearance," "Making some additions and/or corrections," "Correcting some links, and "Do you have proof of the information I just removed" while making some minor edit summaries which vary depending on how I describe my edits and if they are worthy of the common edit summaries that one can have the option to have in the editing part of this website. Did I leave anything out? --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:52, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Upcoming Marvel projects

Nightscream, I was wondering if you are you looking forward to some projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the 2015 Secret Wars storyline (which will incorporate some parts of the Multiverse). --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:52, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

I guess you aren't into the crossovers unless if you take an interest in it. The upcoming Secret Wars storyline will feature a new volume of Where Monsters Dwell (there was an original volume called that which doesn't have a page on this website). I followed your Facebook link and I didn't know your real name is Luigi Novi according to the link. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:56, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Union City High School citation formatting

It does look like there was an "arbitrary cite formatting change" that took place in this edit on February 9, 2014. Before that date, the prevailing citation formatting contained the word "Accessed", all of which were changed to "Retrieved". Shouldn't we follow that standard, at a minimum for those sources that had been the majority in the article for its first five years and had been added in that format? Alansohn (talk) 18:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

David Lee Roth

I still believe you are the top gunner on here. Now that I have checked - I am right.

I am having serious trouble on David Lee Roth.

Before I add my references - this other one deletes everything.

I've never seen such behavior on this site before.

Hired Ghoul (talk) 06:08, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

From what I can understand, with communication it was solved.

Thanks! Never forgot you.

You are important on Wiki.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM.

Can you help on it.

???

Hired Ghoul (talk) 00:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello.

Sorry for the delay. I looked at what had been done on the article. Same 'ole thing. Things never change, but I am fine with it. I just thought I'd update it. Looks like I am wrong to add, as I am either hounded or just plain bullied. That's why I stopped in the first place. There just is too much assuming and jealousness on this site. Oh, I resolved it, but I was surprised at the attack.

What's easy for you, may not be easy for others online.

I am happy to see you on here. I have had good conversations with you in our past.

Thanks!! Hired Ghoul (talk) 00:20, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Making the Kardashian articles more encyclopedic

Hello Nightscream,

I noticed your edit on one of the "K" articles citing WP:OVERKILL. I have been working on some of them and wanted to ask your opinion. For instance, on the Kim K article the same information that is written in prose also appears in the tables such as television, film, and awards. Would it be proper to remove the info in the prose since it is also in the tables? I already went through the Kendall Jenner article, and cut out all the duplicate wikilinks to the same articles.

What more can be done to make these articles more encyclopedic and less gossipy sounding? Thank you for your time. Cheers! WordSeventeen (talk) 03:27, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Ant-Man movie-related and more

Nightscream, I was wondering if you are looking forward to the upcoming Ant-Man film that Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas are starring in. It is said to close out the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

After Ant-Man has closed out the Phase 2, Captain America: Civil War will start off Phase 3. We both know that it is based off the Civil War storyline (where the Warzone in Warzone is based off of on the third incarnation of Battleworld). As Nitro is the cause of the Superhero Registration Act in the comics, it was mentioned that some type of disaster will start it in the film that I just mentioned. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Message sent to... Me? I don't have an account!

You sent a message to me about an edit to the Red Sonja article, which I did not make, or at least have no memory of making. Are you sure it was me? I usually make minor grammar edits. For example, I recently changed the Newhart article from saying something along the lines of 'Newhart is a situational comedy' to 'Newhart is a sitcom'. I carefully avoid adding facts or synthesis to articles. Point is, I don't know anything about Red Sonja. However, I'm really excited to see someone on the wiki interested in my activities, and it's nice to meet you! 67.3.81.27 (talk) 02:19, 4 June 2015

I know you don't need an account to make contributions- that's how I've been making contributions. Meeting you, however, may finally be persuading me to make an account. 67.3.81.27 (talk) 04:45, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Extra vehicular battle

A tag has been placed on Extra vehicular battle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Help needed regarding a potential new She-Hulk header image

Hello.

Given that you have experiemce with initiating image picking discussions, is there any chance that you could help me to get attention for this She-Hulk discussion? I find the current image bland, and would much rather feature one which better symbolises what the character is thematically about.

Thanks in advance for any help. David A (talk) 18:54, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

What I usually do is, I go to previous discussion thread, and invite the people who participated in those, making sure to be neutral in inviting anyone who participated constructively, regardless of whether they preferred my image or the other one, since that would violate WP:CANVAS. Good luck! Nightscream (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Okay. Is there any chance that you could help out to invite some people that you know? I am not very connected at all in Wikipedia.

Btw: I don't think that I ever properly apologised for being so unstable in our interactions a few years ago. I was overmedicated at the time, and have constantly turned less psychotic ever since. David A (talk) 19:31, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I simply tend to go through the past discussions I've had, and invite people from there. Here are some past discussions regarding the Infobox photos of the articles on Bryan Talbot, Scott Allie, Larry Hama, Rick Remender, James Marsters and Carl Potts. I recommend not inviting Canoe1967, Fayenatic london, or Lexein, since they've proven to be disruptive or difficult in past discussions. I also recommend against inviting any IP editors, and anyone whose user page or talk page indicates that they're retired, on a break, blocked, or tends to be embroiled in flame wars. Hope that helps.

Jim Lee

Hi Nightscream,

In regards to your Revision as of 14:18, September 29, 2015 edit to the Jim Lee article:

• Why was the disambiguation of Deathblow (comics) removed?
• Why was a citation to a printed source for Lee's backup story in Batman: Gotham Knights #1 removed?
• Why was a citation to that same printed source removed for Justice League #1?
• Why was a cited mention of Lee's work on The Multiversity removed?
• Why was the updated url for the Mike's Amazing World of Comics External link reverted?

These were edits which I had made on August 22 and September 13 and I do not understand why cited information has been removed. The Deathblow revision is especially confusing as that is a disambiguation page which states "If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article." Where did I err?

Mtminchi08 (talk) 00:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for alerting me, because I have NO IDEA how all that stuff got removed (along with alot of other stuff you didn't mention), since I have no memory of doing so, and certainly didn't intend to. After all, I was the one who added the recent stuff on Europa and All-Star, so I certainly didn't want to remove it. I've restored that info. Let me know if I missed anything. Thanks again.

Publication dates and access dates

that for articles, date, not access date, is more important.

However, for URLs -pointing to articles-, which is what the item(s) you edited was a member of the class of... -- and it is important to distinguish maps from territories and pointers from things themselves - the accessdate has priority, the date is important but less so. I hope you understand why. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:28, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by "maps from territories and pointers from things themselves". If you could specify which edit/edit summary you're talking about, it would help.

In general, publication date (when available), much like author, title, etc. is an integral piece of the publication information about a given work when that work is cited as a source. It makes no sense to leave it out, but to note when an editor accessed the source, any more than it makes sense to persistently omit the name of the author, both of which are practices that I've observed on the part of many editors.

Re:List of Breakout Characters

Correction: Wikipedia can accept uncited material and original research; you of all people must know that since like me you've been editing for a decade. The difference is that like me, you will not accept uncited or poorly cited information in the article because it detracts from Wikipedia's quality by leaving uncited material and original research. I mean lets be honest here, if absolutely every page on here had no uncited information and no original research we wouldn't need start or stub class articles, or any dispute resolution processes since all the information on every article all over the site would be verified and within the established and accepted research boundaries on site, right? :)

Now on the material itself: I was expecting that it would be edited to some greater or lesser extent, but if you guys feel its better left out then that is fine. Incidentally, while I have you here, you may want to entertain adding a banner of the type used over at the page Aircraft in fiction (just click any edit button on the page and you should see it) to notify people of the material addition criteria to the page since a page with the title list of breakout characters does lend itself to off the wall editing such as it were. Admittedly, unsourced statements are always added regardless of our pruning, but good faith editions can end up removed unintentionally if the material does not meet certain inclusion criteria, and on obscure pages that criteria can be a little harsher then the on the rest of the mainstream Wikipedia articles, hence the suggestion. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:20, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I was misunderstood, so let me try again. Unsourced material is present in nearly every article, since as you put it its not our job to patrol all 5 million articles, and since anyone can edit the material finds its way in. If every article had all citations in all needed fields all of the time editors and admins wouldn't really be needed. While we permit certain material that is unsourced, it is frowned on and therefore such material is always subject to removal at any time from any article by any editor. Same is true of OR material - whether added in good faith or not, some of it stays simply because no one pulls it out. It the great equalizer Apathy at work. When I say then that you will not accept the material I mean you have the presence of mind to remove the material where you find it to keep the articles in line with RS and OR policies (and in the process, probably NPOV and V policies too). That is something to be proud of. As for the banner: the last time edits I made to a TV show page were reverted they were reverted by an editors working for one of the TV projects, so I thought you might be in with group and therefore may have been having trouble keeping the article free from people who constantly add material with no regards for citing sources. Apparently that is not the case, so the banner info wouldn't be of any use here. That was legitimately m'bad, sorry. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Supergirl (Cir-El), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brainiac. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:30, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for removing "recently"...

Yes, very good catch. Obviously "Recently," should never be in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia's are not periodicals. Thanks! Gluten is a tent test (talk) 19:12, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:JoyOfPaintingStatistics.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JoyOfPaintingStatistics.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 03:56, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Per WP:NFCC#1, "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created" (emphasis added). You can create a table with the same data, thereby creating a free equivalent. The fair-use claim for this image is invalid. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 04:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

No, I cannot create a table with that data, as I do not have the technical knowledge to do so. The claim is valid. Nightscream (talk) 05:50, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid this criteria is independent of your technical ability. I'm confident the image will be deleted by an administrator after 2 days. Cheers, Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 05:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:RavedactylCover.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:RavedactylCover.png. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Spider-Man (Miles Morales)-related

Nightscream, you might've heard news about Miles Morales operating in Earth-616 once the Secret Wars storyline ends. As the final issue to the Secret Wars miniseries Ultimate End comes out today, perhaps that might explain how Miles ended upon Earth-616. Wouldn't you agree? --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:33, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Let's hope it is when it comes to his future appearances on Earth-616. --Rtkat3 (talk) 03:43, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Ronda Rousey

May I ask why you changed the domestic violence part in her article under relationships? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ronda_Rousey&oldid=694872328#Relationships

The way you describe it in your edited version makes it appear she punched him directly after the slap - in fact according to one of the sources, he attempted to kidnap her by blocking her exit after the slap and is what lead her to punch him. Gorgak25 (talk) 21:29, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mohammed Bilal

The article Mohammed Bilal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seemingly marginally notable and only best known as a castmate for a four-month long MTV show for which my searches only found trivial and otherwise passing coverage at Books, News, browsers and Highbeam. None of this suggests satisfying general notability guidelines.

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{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.

Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016

Nightscream, tonight is when 2016 is going to start once the big ball drops. I was wondering if you are looking forward to the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects that will debut in 2015 with films starting off with Captain America: Civil War? When me and my mother first saw the first picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, my mom was impressed by it. Though Tom Holland was cast as Spider-Man, we have yet to see what his costume will look like. While Agent Carter is going to have 1940s version of Whitney Frost and Joseph Manfredi, we might learn more about the Inhuman that was referred to as "It" in the second half of the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when "It" in Grant Ward's body was last seen meeting up with Gideon Malick. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
