editWelcome!
editHello, Ragnarok861, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Most Visited Roblox Games, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.
New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Most Visited Roblox Games
editA tag has been placed on Draft:Most Visited Roblox Games, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 deleted 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.

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

editMost Visited Roblox Experiences moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Most Visited Roblox Experiences, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Jupitus Smart 16:59, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
The article Most Visited Roblox Experiences has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Entirely unsourced; duplicated from List of Roblox games
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. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

editDraft:Christopher R. Baker
editHello Ragnarok861. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, a page you have created is clearly a work in progress and not ready to be published so I have moved it to Draft:Christopher R. Baker where you will have time and space to work on it and to improve it before it goes back to article space. You can find it at Draft:Christopher R. Baker. Happy editing! --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

edit"Minor Edit"
editHi Ragnarok861! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Deutsche Welle that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

editEdit on LZ 129 Hindenburg
editHello, I'm Tarl N.. Your recent edit(s) to the page LZ 129 Hindenburg appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. What's your source for 35 deaths? The reference cited states "35 persons on the airship, and one member of the ground crew". Tarl N. (discuss) 16:19, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Tarl N. 35 deaths because ut says 13 passengers and 22 crew members. 13 + 22 = 35 Ragnarok861 (talk) 19:57, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Read it more carefully. 13 + 22 + 1 = 36 deaths. Either way, please read WP:SYNTH - this is on the margins of what is acceptable, but close enough that it suggests you need a second look before undoing someone else's work. Tarl N. (discuss) 20:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

editHello, Spectritus. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Christopher R. Baker, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

"Edit Summary"
editHello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Loki (TV series) does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Without an edit summary in this case, there's no way for other editors to know what your intention was removing a valid wikilink. ButlerBlog (talk) 19:55, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Spectritus (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
NinjaRobotPirate blocked me for no valid reason, they claim my edit on Colin Salmon's birth year to not be properly sourced which is true but the original birth year (1961, I changed it to 1961-1962) wasn't sourced either and when I asked them where's the evidence the original birth year is true, they simply ignored me and then muted me. I noticed that on many websites it says Colin Salmon was born on 6 December 1962 (even Wikipedia in other languages), while a few others say 6 December 1961. So please resolve this issue. As Colin Salmon's birth year is being debated I suggest to just write both on his Wikipedia page or none at all. I also suggest you relieve NinjaRobotPirate from his Administrative permissions before they treat someone else the same way they treated me Spectritus (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Attacking the blocking admin for correctly blocking you is a terrible idea. Taking a look at this edit of yours, I see you change the date of birth from "December 1961", which is cited in the article with this citation, to "6 December 1961 or 1962", which is not. You seem to think Wikipedia in other languages would be a reasonable citation here, which isn't true and shows you don't understand WP:RS. Please take this time to understand what you were doing incorrectly and how information should be properly sourced here. Yamla (talk) 17:57, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
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.
@Yamla I'm sorry, I didn't see the cited source. I also apologise to user:NinjaRobotPirate for wrongfully accusing him of not doing his job correctly.
- Please read through the links to policies and guidelines on your talk page. For example, you can't add user-generated content to biographies of living persons. You can't just make a best guess at when someone was born. You can't copy content from other versions of Wikipedia. You can't restore unsourced content once it's been removed. You can't do any of the things you've been doing recently. I'm in pain because of a recent injury, so I probably should be more helpful when it comes to explaining these things. But you've got a page full of links to the guidelines and policies! You can't just ignore them. You have to read them. If you don't read them and follow them, the result is escalating blocks. If you can summarize (in your own words) the links that I've just given you now, I'll unblock you. I'm not going to get any pings you send – I muted you because you send them too often – so it may take me a while to notice that you've responded. If any other admin is satisfied with your responses, though, they're free to unblock you. Just make another unblock request if I don't respond in a timely manner.

editEdit problem
editWelcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Please see WP:CRYSTAL Dorsetonian (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Dorsetonian Hello, I understand, but there's something you didn't get. Episodes 1 and 2 premiere on May 11. It said by the BBC that there would be one episode every Saturday after that. I thought this was obvious, but apparently not. Spectritus (talk) 08:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- There was nothing at the existing references (which you did not add to) to support that, or to support that the Christmas episode would be screened on Christmas Day. Even now with your hint of a BBC announcement, and having found this there is nothing to support the Christmas Day assertion and I would suggest that schedules change frequently enough to make extrapolating all of the episode dates "risky". If you had added this ref to the episode dates I would not personally have reverted you, and will not do if you do so now, though I suspect other editors still might - be aware than another editor thanked me for reverting you. Dorsetonian (talk) 20:55, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Dorsetonian It's obvious that the Christmas special will air on Christmas day. Otherwise it wouldn't be a Christmas special. Just use your intelligence. Spectritus (talk) 06:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- A Christmas Special could appear any time over the Christmas period. Only verifiable facts should appear in Wikipedia. That a Christmas Special has been announced is a verifiable fact; that a Christmas Special will be shown on Christmas Day is pure speculation. Dorsetonian (talk) 08:24, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

- There was nothing at the existing references (which you did not add to) to support that, or to support that the Christmas episode would be screened on Christmas Day. Even now with your hint of a BBC announcement, and having found this there is nothing to support the Christmas Day assertion and I would suggest that schedules change frequently enough to make extrapolating all of the episode dates "risky". If you had added this ref to the episode dates I would not personally have reverted you, and will not do if you do so now, though I suspect other editors still might - be aware than another editor thanked me for reverting you.

Mario edits
editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Your means of "warning" readers is wildly inappropriate and not how we report information. Whether the movie is to be designated as a "sequel" or not shouldn't be a point of contention. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @ThomasO1989 Apologies. I just wanted to make sure people didn't fall in the trap of believing it's a sequel when it's not confirmed. Spectritus (talk) 22:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Surely, we should be reporting verifiable information, but putting a warning in giant text is not appropriate for telling people it might not be a sequel, let alone for an encyclopedic article. No one is going to die if news comes out it's not a sequel. We'll simply update the article to reflect that when the time comes. For the time being, it's easier to communicate the film as a "sequel" because that gets the point across better and specifying it as "a movie in the same universe as The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is pedantic IMO. ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:20, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Eric Cantona shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

editSpeedy deletion nomination of Karolina Protsenko
editIf 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 Karolina Protsenko 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 discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karolina Protsenko. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, 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 deleted 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. CycloneYoris talk! 04:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CycloneYoris Hello. I wasn't aware that a page with the same name was previously deleted until I saw the notice on the page's talk page. I don't see the problem. It's just the translation of the French page with a few small adjustments. Is translation not allowed anymore? Spectritus (talk) 11:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CycloneYoris Why did you delete the page without citing a valid reason or responding to my messages ? Spectritus (talk) 18:25, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
"Without citing a valid reason".
Why do you resort to personally attack those that warn you? The reason the page was deleted (by admin Deb) was because it was previously deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karolina Protsenko, and you would need to create the article via the WP:AfC process to overturn the deletion consensus that was reached at the discussion. CycloneYoris talk! 22:07, 21 August 2024 (UTC)- @CycloneYoris But it can't possibly be identical to the previous one ? Spectritus (talk) 22:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- It was poorly sourced, and that's the reason why it was deleted. References would need to be improved in order to overturn the consensus reached at the aforementioned discussion. CycloneYoris talk! 22:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CycloneYoris It's a translation. So, if the English version is not allowed to exist, then why are the others ? Spectritus (talk) 22:20, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Because AfD's only affect articles that are published in the English Wikipedia, and have no effect on articles that might exist in other languages or Wikis. CycloneYoris talk! 22:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CycloneYoris May I ask what's an "AfD" ? But if the article exists in other languages why do you think it should be deleted ? If it exists in other languages then it must be legitimate. Spectritus (talk) 22:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- Hi. The original article was deleted after discussion on the grounds of "not notable"; I deleted it for the same reason - A7. In many ways, the previous article was better than the one I deleted, because it at least had a few references even if they weren't good ones. This person's "notability" appears to consist mainly of social media interest, which is almost impossible to verify. Deb (talk) 07:55, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Deb But, don't other social media personalities have Wikipedia pages ? Spectritus (talk) 08:22, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

- Also, are you and CycloneYoris administrators ? Spectritus (talk) 11:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It sounds like you don't know how to find basic information on English Wikipedia, and I don't blame you for that, as there is a lot of it. However, if you read some of the guidelines for newcomers, e.g. Wikipedia:Administrators, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:Five pillars, you will gradually start to understand the purpose of the project, how it works and how not to fall foul of the guidelines. Deb (talk) 11:37, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Deb I understand. What I don't get is how can a page be accepted in one language and not in another ? Spectritus (talk) 12:16, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I can see why that's a problem. The fact is that English Wikipedia, because it has so many more contributors than any other Wikipedia, has higher standards than many of the others. These are created by consensus of the community, and this community is enormous. The one rule that isn't negotiable is the neutral point of view policy. Believe it or not, there are individuals who go from one Wikipedia to another creating articles on someone who isn't really famous - usually someone that is personally connected to them - in the hope that this will help them get noticed. This is of course more likely in the case of personalities whose moment of fame is transient and who will be forgotten in a few months time, and this is often true of people whose notability is based to a trivial online presence on social media. Deb (talk) 12:55, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

A transfer is not completed until the medical has been passed. There is currently a discussion on the talk page of the player if you disagree with this.

editHi, "former" or "retired" should not be used in short descriptions, see WP:SDAVOID -- FMSky (talk) 14:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- @FMSky But, then why is it used in the short descriptions of most former footballers ? Also, may I ask why it shouldn't be used ? Spectritus (talk) 14:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thats a mistake then and should be removed. Why? Idk, I didnt make the rule :D --FMSky (talk) 14:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shalka Doctor (November 16)

- @Memer15151 I understand, but if the War and Fugitive Doctors qualify for an article why wouldn't the Shalka Doctor? Spectritus (talk) 12:22, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Although the Fugitive Doctor page has multiple unreliable sources, it also includes reliable, independent, in-depth sources including the Daily Telegraph, establishing notability. I simply followed the GNG when reviewing this article, and I was not involved in reviewing the two articles you gave as examples. It's not a question about what about this or that, it's simply a question of whether the article passes the general notability guideline. I declined your submission because it simply did not have any sources that contributed to notability, and at least two are required. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 12:28, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Memer15151 Okay. Spectritus (talk) 12:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Memer15151 Would the addition of the following sources be sufficient?
- https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/doctor-who-richard-e-grant-doctor-shalka-rogue-spoilers/
- https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-shows/doctor-who-russell-t-davies-richard-e-grant-cameo/
- https://www.richard-e-grant.com/archives/no-one-can-hear-you-scream/ Spectritus (talk) 12:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources lists ComicBook.com as having no consensus on reliability (does not count). GamesRadar+ is reliable and in-depth here (counts). Richard E. Grant's website is not independent of the subject (does not count). Only one source contributes to the GNG, and with only one, it does not pass. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 13:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Memer15151 Okay. And what about these ones:
- https://doctorwhoworlduk.com/scream
- https://forum.tardis.guide/t/scream-of-the-shalka/2955 (could be used in the reception section) Spectritus (talk) 13:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- https://collider.com/doctor-who-richard-e-grant-shalka-explained/ Spectritus (talk) 13:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Forum posts are not reliable sources, and the Doctor Who World link seems to be about the movie and does not discuss the Shalka Doctor. Collider has no consensus on reliability. IGN wikis are mostly user-generated and usually not written by subject matter experts. I don't think any of these sources would really add to notability. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 13:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Memer15151 What about https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Ninth_Doctor_(Scream_of_the_Shalka) ? Spectritus (talk) 14:31, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's also user-generated and can be edited by anyone. Avoid citing wikis, forums or blogs unless completely written by subject-matter experts. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 14:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
