Since you are new

Because you might be new, you might be unaware that remaining polite is pretty much the only way that you are going to ever get anything done. Comments like "I suggest you let me handle the wiki" are counter-productive, and an earlier version of myself might very well have taken you apart for such dickish remarks. The current version will simply point out a few policies that WP uses as guides, such as WP:OWN (which discuss how you don't own or control how any wiki is written), and WP:RS (regarding reliably sourcing the information you are adding, and restraining the temptation to include your personal observations). More than anything, it is important to remain polite; more edit-wars are fought over a basic lack of civility than anything else, except perhaps for neutrality. If you have questions, please ask. I will help, but you will find my well of good faith understandably empty if you act unpleasantly. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 13:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I would also point out that you might want to read up on a policy called WP:3RR, which you are in danger of violating. Since you are new. I don't want you to encounter the experience of being blocked so quickly out of the starting gate. Ease off posting your version for a while and discuss the matter. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Imdb

I've reverted the replacement of the IGN citation with the one from Imdb. As I noted on the artcle discussion page, we don't consider Imdb a reliable source of citable information. If you can find one that is reliable, you can use it in addition to the IGN one, but removing it isn't going to help the article - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 18:07, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

It is reliable, all information there is fact checked by IMDB editors. I'm not removing the IGN one, there are 2 in the article. The Unbeholden (talk) 06:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Poster JPG.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Poster JPG.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 11:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

December 2009

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Upier. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. This is not a warning - you got the last two from other editors because basically you failed to fill in the edit summary - so they did not know what you were doing in deleting material  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dungeonbowl.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Dungeonbowl.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:45, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Reverting and using talk pages

Re your edit here: Please do not revert to re-insert contentious edits. When proposing substantial changes to a lead section, an editor may object to your proposals. The proper response when this happens is not to unilaterally revert, but to try to obtain consensus on the article talk page. You especially should not revert other editors without an explanation in the edit summary (or on the talk page) - it is considered very discourteous. Neutrality^talk 15:14, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

No the default position is to keep whatever edit is based on the evidence presented, ie you cannot unedit it UNLESS its based on the evidence or reliable source. The unedit implies a conclusion that the KKK is still relevant, it is against the core principle of No original research and lacks a neutral perspective by denouncing the fact that according to the rest of the sources he is a conservative politician. Therefore the edit must remain as I made it, without evidence to support the original lead section your claim of it 'lacking consensus' has no merit to the dispute in question. The Unbeholden (talk)

You are wrong on every point. There is no "default position" to keep your edits; rather, you must establish consensus. Moreover, your edit is at odds with the portrayal of the article by reliable sources (which state clearly that Duke is a far-right perennial candidate known primarily for his extreme (neo-Nazi) views and Klan association, and do not depict him as a garden-variety conservative politician at all). Neutrality^talk 21:51, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

You are seriously trying to pass off Duke as a 'far-right perennial candidate for extreme neo-nazi views' because he frequently addresses the Jewish Question? I don't see any evidence so far that he has Klan assocation in the past 40 years. I'll have to assume that this is merely a extreme left leaning bias on your part, while using consensus as a shield to prevent the introduction of a unbiased correction based on the multitude of sources showing he is conservative, like his campaigning in Louisiana. Been noticing similar bias in covering war crimes under Russian Revolution article. The Unbeholden (talk)

Discretionary sanctions notification

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Nine Noble Virtues 2-JAN-2018

Hello TheUnbeholden, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Nine Noble Virtues 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. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 08:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pussy whipped (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Pussy whipped (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines 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.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shamata (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Dom from Paris (talk) 10:23, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I have undone your cut-and-paste page move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Royal and noble styles a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:33, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Undiscussed page move #2

Non-existent categories

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Arishadvargas, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before a change saved.Thank you.

You also added the same non-existent Category:Hinduism and mind to a bunch of other articles, from which it has also been removed. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Unjustified parenthetical disambiguators

Your edit summary "changed title name to reflect description" does not justify adding parenthetical disambiguators where they are not needed. Please stop, and help unwind those. Dicklyon (talk) 20:00, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

And if you feel that disambiguation is needed, you need to also adjust the disambig page, as at Scared to Death (disambiguation). For such multiple moves changing primary topic, and RM discussion is probably in order. Dicklyon (talk) 20:03, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

This seems to be a recent innovation of yours, not obviously consistent with you being a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation; how am I to understand what's up here? Dicklyon (talk) 20:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Dicklyon was clear that you should not do this. Do stop it. I just reverted you here. We do not disambiguate when there is no need to and when a topic is the WP:Primary topic. If the term has other meanings and there are pages for them, those pages are disambiguated, but the primary topic remains. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 13:00, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Sword and sorcery anthologies

A tag has been placed on Category:Sword and sorcery anthologies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Stub tags

Hi, I've just noticed you're moving stub tags to the tops of articles. Never saw this done before, and it does seem strange, also highly obtrusive. I believe Wikipedia's philosophy to be to present content as far as possible, with maintenance tags as unobtrusive to the ordinary reader as can be accomplished... of course, they remain just as searchable by Wiki-gnomes and content editors when they're at the end. Hope this is fine with you. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:24, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

• I came here to raise the same issue. TheUnbeholden, please stop adding stub templates to the top of articles. They're placed at the very end: see WP:TAGSTUB. Also, it's best to use only the most specific stub tag: for example, there's no need to add a "Hinduism" tag if the article is tagged as a "Hindu philosophy" stub. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 10:35, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
• Oh, and one more thing: if the article is more than about a paragraph long, and it's on a relatively obscure topic for which there isn't that much to write about, then it's normally not considered a stub. You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Stub#How_big_is_too_big?. – Uanfala (talk) 10:40, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

I agree, clearly. I will move stub tags to the bottom on any articles I come across (I shan't go looking), but if this continues, discussion on another forum will plainly be needed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Eurocentrism, 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. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 14:36, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Down to Earth (disambiguation)

I noticed that you tagged the page Down to Earth (disambiguation) for speedy deletion with the reason "unnecessary redirect". However, "unnecessary redirect" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can take the page to Wikipedia:Redirects for Discussion for discussion on the merits if you still seek deletion. Thanks! Iffy★Chat -- 10:04, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Your edit to "Reactionary"

I'm not sure what you were thinking but the source you used in this edit is very clearly not reliable. It references this very Wikipedia article in the second sentence, its page title is written in Comic Sans and it is obviously a person or persons' idiosyncratic definition and interpretation of the term's meaning. The most cursory glance at the article shows that your claim, viz. "Reactionaries have the following beliefs in civil liberties and civil rights; [sic; was this supposed to be a colon (:)?] Bill of Rights, Anti-Patriot Act, Equal Protection Clause under the law and Natural Rights." is absurd. Please take the bare minimum effort to read the article before introducing such sweeping and contradictory statements into its lead. Thank you. 144.134.23.43 (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Comedy thriller

I think it should not be moved to comedy thriller film because the genre isn't restricted to just films. Like romantic comedy (formerly romantic comedy film), it is used for various forms of media, even novels. --Kailash29792 (talk) 13:36, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

PRODding redirects

When you want to move a page to a new title covered by a redirect, do not use the {{subst:prod}} tag, as redirects are not eligible for proposed deletion and it would create unnecessary clutter at WP:PRODSUM. Instead, use {{db-move|Other page|reason=Your reason here}} and move the page when the redirect is deleted. If the redirect has no history except for creation, you may also overwrite it by moving the page directly. In any case, you should discuss potentially controversial moves first, following the guide at WP:RM. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Film genres, categories, and verification

I can't tell whether you have any interest in an actual discussion of your recent neo-noir edits given that you deleted my comments, but if you do, I've opened said discussion, without naming you,here. You're welcome to participate if you would like. DonIago (talk) 17:15, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm adding the genres from the neo-noir list of titles. The Unbeholden (talk) 17:16, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm aware; but beyond my concerns with your edits it's a more general problem in any case. We have many, many film articles where it's unclear how the list of genres in the lead was determined. Is this a problem? Probably 90% or more of the time nobody even cares, but 10% of the time would still be a huge number of articles, and I don't go a day without seeing the genres listed in the leads of film articles being edited. I think we need a better system for this. That said, thank you for your efforts to better document your genre-related changes; I really appreciate it! DonIago (talk) 17:21, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

We do not use one source for genres. See WP:FILMLEAD: Genre classifications should comply with WP:WEIGHT and represent what is specified by a majority of mainstream reliable sources. Not one source. A ref is unnecessary and usually not used in the lead, because it's a summary of many sources. - Gothicfilm (talk) 22:56, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

To be fair, I may have partly led to this by noting that the films couldn't be categorized as neo-noir without sourced information in the articles describing them thusly. However, I believe we've found a good compromise option where we mention that the films have been considered neo-noir but don't elevate that to a lead genre classification.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
