I worked on my page for over 3 hours only for CFred to come by and delete it. Apparently it's not credible. He said the sunday league football teams are failures and not relevant. I'll leave what I have below.

Palmers FC 23 million views More viewed and subscribed than 90% of the english football ladder combined! BBC article on the future of football - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36991332 Sell shirts on a regular basis through it's club website.

THIS IS NO JOKE!

It's inspiring young kids to get into grassroots football. It's inspiring those that never made it to get back into it. It's becoming an academy, a charity and so much more. This is just the beginning and because someone looks at it without any form of research and then decides to delete it.

I'm not here to be abusivie or offensive, I'm trying to get my voice heard on here, trying to get help and make people understand that this is legit, it's not a joke so if you could help, approve, point me in the right direction on how I get this page up, created and protected that would be much appreciated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveballem (talkcontribs) 20:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Willie Nelson

Original message: Hello, I'm Mlpearc. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Willie Nelson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 21:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Mlpearc. Thank you very much for checking on this. I did add a source from BBC that lists Willie Nelson as part of the documentary. It's listed on the page from BBC website, in the description section. I will go ahead and return the information to the Mr. Nelson's page at this time. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Kiss revisions

Not sure why you summarily reverted an entire afternoon's worth of fixes I made to the Kiss article. My edits reflect Wiki policy in terms of overlinking (there were numerous redundant Wikilinks in article body). I also fixed incorrect Wikilinks, added those that were inexplicably missing, corrected outdated information, fixed poor grammar, etc. Perhaps it would have been better to address any specific changes you had an issue with?

I apologize.

I worked very hard to find a proxy through which I, as resident of the United States of America, appear in the Russian Federation for research which I have used to provide cited sources unavailable elsewhere. I provide my real name. It seemed impossible to take Wikipedia seriously when my hard work was censored by a human being with dignity who chooses laserbrain as a self-identified insult. I have good faith. I edited the article to the source to conform to Wikipedia standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylecrabtree (talkcontribs) 19:28, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Carrie Fisher 2

I'm only new to Wikipedia. There was no option to leave any references on the box. My biography.com reference ( ihttp://www.biography.com/people/carrie-fisher-9542646#synopsis) is no better than legacy.com. Winkelvi, or whoever that is changed it all back. A proper source would be from one of her books. Or a birth certificate. That editor goes so far as to presume she was born at home. In fact, There are no references for that. I see this is a waste of time. If any thing biography .com is more reliable.

In Vanity Fair from the book: http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/12/carrie-fisher-parents-debbie-reynolds-eddie-hollywood. She was born in a hospital. There are NO HOSPITALS in Beverly Hills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janetmanning (talkcontribs) 22:44, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

http://lucille-ball.info is spam. As are the following

  • abbott-and-costello-whos-on-first.info
  • don-knotts.info
  • jackie-gleason.info
  • marx-brothers-groucho-chico-harpo-zeppo.info

They were all originally added by Tfraymond when they were originally under his domain clown-ministry.com (which he admits here) but since receiving warnings about spam, he now uses IPs to add them to tons of articles. I spent over an hour earlier hunting them down and removing them. Justeditingtoday (talk) 04:08, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Justeditingtoday: The site (target page) didn't seem spammy at all to me, the article seemed informative there were sidebar advertisements but that's very common, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the information is correct or that the site is reliable but, that has nothing to do with spam. - Mlpearc (open channel) 04:24, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean my tone to come off as you perceived it. I was asking if you thought it was spam now because I couldn't tell from your reply if you were still saying they were valid references. Justeditingtoday (talk) 14:46, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Religion in infoboxes

Hello, Thanks for looking at and editing Edward Hart Lipscombe. Your edit removed the religion part of the infobox, which is great since that is, as you point out, a depreciated parameter. However, for many individuals, the religious biography and person infobox are both relevent, as political and religious information are both important - Lipscombe is a great example of this. When this is the case, if you can, it might be useful to leave religion in the infobox using the religious biography infobox as a module within the person infobox (such as here, which I should have done in the first place). Its perfectly likely you know this, I just wanted to point it out in case. All the best, and thanks again! Smmurphy(Talk) 00:46, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Look dude, I don't understand how I am making disruptive edits on Ozzy's page. I put a reliable source like you said and you still deleted the edit. Ozzy is a dual citizen, he lives in California. If you wont let me edit this page which is not displaying correct information, the may I ask for you to change it with a source that you think is reliable enough. Because the fact is true. His wife Sharon and his son are also American. If you could do this since im doing it wrong, it would be greatly apperciated.

I'm sorry I called you dude, I realize that s informal on here, its just common from where I'm from. I did make a discussion for this, but I don't understand why the discussion is needed and why you cant just let me edit the source. I provided a reliable source, I don't understand why you keep deleting it. Also since discussion pages aren't that effective, would there be any way that you could find an article that you thing is appropriate. Because I don't want to put another article up, and you take it down and ban me from editing. I'm just trying to help spread information.

RE: Your comment here

By what criteria do you propose that my change of an area in an infobox from square meters to hectares was a test? Did you read my edit summary? Did you read what I wrote on the article's talk page? Please revert your rollback of my edit, unless you can propose a rationale by which we ought to begin measuring all islands in clearly inaccurate thousands of square meters, and, if you have accurate information to present in response to my inquiry on the talk page, please contribute productively, there. Thank you for your time, attention, and service. 68.113.225.4 (talk) 06:30, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

D'yer Mak'er

I see that you reverted my edit on D'yer Mak'er which corrected the Trampled Under Foot single release date. Why would you revert my edit? I'm not trying to be harsh here, look at the release date at Trampled Under Foot; it was released in 1975. Kevinmuniz115 (talk) 03:12, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevinmuniz115: Because you did not provide a reliable source to support the date change, plus you didn't even explain why the 1975 date was incorrect. - Mlpearc (open channel) 03:45, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mlpearc: I get it, but still, look at the Trampled Under Foot infobox; it wasn't released in 1974. Instead, it was recorded in that year and was released in 1975. Kevinmuniz115 (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kevinmuniz115: Hence the need for a cite to support the change. Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 21:56, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mlpearc Phone: OK, but I need help finding a reliable source for it. Kevinmuniz115 (talk) 01:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Guy Williams

A reply: Guy Williams I found out via Google search cause of death was aneurysm & therefore I modified this 'natural causes' statement with what initially displayed on Wikipedia. Okay, well if there is a reliable source that has to do with Guy Williams for Lost In Space then it beats me.

Well, you need to have that information with your change see, Help:Referencing for beginners. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 00:38, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help me contribute better :)

Hey Mlpearc, I see you reverted my edits on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrienne_Barbeau&oldid=761274984, I was just adding a video game voice credit found via IMDB (I was watching DS9 and the voice of Senator Cretak sounded familiar, so I had to hunt it down). I didn't see IMDB references for each of the other video game credits, so I didn't add it at the time, but the proof is here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000105/?ref_=tt_cl_t2. How should I fix my edit so I do this correctly? Thanks!

Hi Mlpearc. It looks like you added an OTRS ticket to the above file. However, there's no license template on the file. Could you please have a look at the ticket and see which license should be added? File will be deleted shortly if there's no license displayed.

Alice Cooper (solo) personnel timeline.

To Mlpearc,

Hello, I have made many band oriented timelines over the past few years. This was done anonymously before I made an official Wikipedia Editor account. I am now going back to my Alice Cooper (solo) personnel timeline and fixing my mistakes. There are plenty of session musicians that are being miss represented. Along side that there are also plenty of officials members that are being misrepresented by their years of service to that band. I would really like to go back and correct the timeline to a more accurate representation. Please refrain from converting back my appropriate changes to its inaccurate predecessor.

Thanks, DCollins95 — Preceding unsigned comment added by DCollins95 (talkcontribs) 20:22, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DCollins95: It does not matter what you've done in the past, your changes were challenged and warrants discussion before the changes are made. If you're so experienced, why are you not signing your posts ? Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 20:27, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a direct quote taken from the post signing page on Wikipedia for Editors to reference to while editing.

"Edits to articles must not be signed, as signatures on Wikipedia are not intended to indicate ownership or authorship of any article. Rather, the page history takes care of the need to identify edits with users."

Its a large article to all fans to appreciate the band's timeline. Therefore I am in no haste to write it off as mine and to disregard all other from taking the opportunity to edit and add. I am simply just trying to correct, but since there are major edits, users are considering it vandalism etc. but on the contrary it just truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DCollins95 (talkcontribs) 20:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DCollins95: Last time, do not waste your time arguing you point here, this needs to be on the subject talk page, as I said before. If you can not sign your post or indent properly do not post on my talk. Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 21:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

hi. regarding Gesuudaraz I edits. The sources already was mentioned in the same article. and my edit was already discussed in text in the same article. What I have done is put it in bullet for in sajra ( called family tree). furthermore, in addition to references already mentioned in the same article, I linked every name in family tree with inline wikipedia relevant article for verification. you can varify there by your self.

Please I am doing my edit again, don revert it back. Authentic sources are already in the same article. thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashwani83 (talkcontribs) 18:21, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page archiving

Re your edit summary here, talk page archival exists to control page length, not to remove discussion threads after some arbitrary expiration date. VQuakr (talk) 17:33, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@VQuakr: Anything specific from Help:Archiving a talk page as far as archiving periods that you're referring to ? or is the guideline open to interpretation. - Mlpearc (open channel) 17:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing really specific. From the first couple of sentences in the lead: "It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large....However, when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case." 90 days isn't exceptionally long for less active talk pages. VQuakr (talk) 19:05, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as I said in my edit summary, I see no point leaving all discussions open for three months, which will have an affect on readability and page lengths. - Mlpearc (open channel) 19:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A message from YellowMan242

Hello, I recently was told to stop disruptive editing on Tornado Records, What did I do wrong? Thats not snarky, it was just noted that within the "to-do" section of the page, someone needed to add info about the May 2005 tornado drought. No notorious intent at hand here!

Hello

Hi Mlpearc, regarding this edit: did you by any chance get the wrong user page? I am not an Extension Developer, much less that extension's author. It's been a few years since I've even installed Mediawiki so I can't be of help to you. I hope you find someone that can help you! --Stux (talk) 03:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stux: You're listed in the author line as making a change, I was hoping that you had experience with this extension and could guide me on setting lockdown not to write to RecentChanges. I apologize for making that assumption. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I probably made a single change to fix some obvious bug over ten years ago. I probably did manage to install the extension back then but it's so long ago I don't remember it at all. Likely the extension's changed a lot since. You'll have better luck finding more recent developer or current users of the lockdown extension. Good luck! --Stux (talk) 20:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Vladislava1306

Hello! The page "Ardenza trio" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardenza_Trio is absolutely real and proved with many links. When I created it I pasted some sentences taken from their official website because I didn't realise it was forbidden and that is why the page was hidden. Of course, I edited the text and now it is perfect and original. The second thing is that I tried to upload a photo that was given to me by its author. The author wrote me in email that I can freely use it. However, she did not specify the licence. When I later gave her details about the licences, she did not answer - I think she changed her mind. So I tried to delete it but I could not. I would be grateful if you could help me and delete the photo but please do not remove the page - there is no reason. Best regards! Vladislava1306 (talk) 10:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Stephaniesoftball

Thank you for your words. I am so frustrated, because I feel I made a quality edit with many improvements to the category "hair tie", and another user can just come along and say "no". I want my edit to go through and be published because I feel it is valid, but I feel I have no power to do anything about it since i am not an upper level editor or administrator. I seem to waste my time making improvements to wikipedia, only to have them reverted.

How do I report user "Drmies"? He is rejecting valid changes made by me for no good reason and making all of my hard work for wikipedia for naught. He also announced on his talk page I was reported, trying to humiliate me.

Stephaniesoftball (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephaniesoftball: The appropriate place to report users is here: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, also this is an Encyclopedia, not a place to "jot down" your personal opinions/beliefs, just because you think something is true doesn't make it so. Every claim/fact contained in this project must be verifiable. Good luck and happy editing, - Mlpearc (open channel) 15:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A message from JoJo Anthrax

Thanks for your message on my talk page. In that message you explained that a lack of citations was your reason for removing a sentence I added to the Kristy McNichol page. In that passage, I included information about McNichol's nomination for the 1982 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in The Pirate Movie. I thought that in-Wikipedia links to the information, such as I included within my edit, would be sufficient. Both of those WP pages mention the information. However, I can certainly add external links if you - or general Wikipedia policy - think it necessary. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:10, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JoJo Anthrax: The cite needs to be with your change not on some other page, Why would you want to make the reader search other pages to see if something they just read is correct ? This Encyclopedia is for the readers, not the editors. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:14, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnnyangelNIU: What band ? I watch many music related pages. - Mlpearc (open channel) 16:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet Riot. You changed my correct entry back to the inaccurate "19 hit singles", when they NEVER had 19 hit singles. They had three that charted high. Not sure how the '19 hit singles' was even put in there originally. JohnnyangelNIU (talk) 16:28, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Roy McCoy

I think you made a mistake. My reference is exactly the same one that was already there. Furthermore the original text was totally misleading, directly implying that "Frost and Horrocks left to form Wee Johnny Hayes and the Blue Cats" – i.e. that Frost and Horrocks formed the new band, whereas it wasn't them but the Gibb brothers. The change was therefore appropriate and needed. Please restore it, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roy McCoy (talkcontribs) 04:44, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy McCoy: Sure, you just need to provide a reference to support your claim, add it to your change and all is well. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 04:49, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't add a reference that was already there. In the Andrew Hughes book, Robin Gibb explains that "We did the Palatine [Cinema] as Wee Johnny Hayes and The Blue Cats – Barry was Johnny Hayes." Since you hassled me on this pointlessly, I think you might consider apologizing and/or agreeing not to behave in a similar manner again. Thank you. Roy McCoy (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
