RfA

Thanks for supporting my run for administrator. I am honored and grateful. ) Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:19, 24 July 2017 (UTC) [reply]

RfA Cullen328

My opposing !vote is in certainly no way opposing "civility", it is based on a higher level of sensitivity than the admin to be -hopefully by just casually tripping, and not commenting himself- demonstrated by using the ambiguous phrase "take care" as a reply in an environment full of allusions to admins behaving brusque, if not threatening. In spite of opposing to all the PC-derived crap of urbanity, civility, safety of spaces, ... I still try to adhere to a higher level of sensitivity, more fully de rigeur, than what I perceived here.

Vandal IP report

Hello, I am asking you for administrator intervention against vandalism of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/109.183.157.199 . Almost every his edit can be marked as vandalism. If you can help, thanks you very much. --ThecentreCZ (talk) 23:31, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ThecentreCZ: There are two things I'd like to point out:
  1. Vandalism reports should be made at WP:AIV.
  2. The user you reported is not a vandal and the edits they're making is not vandalism. This is a content dispute; please try dispute resolution. This is not sufficient and is not an adequate means of resolving a content dispute; you merely slapped a templated warning on their talk page without encouraging discussion or explaining why you feel their edits are problematic.

John Daly Article

is it really poorly referenced if it is John himself saying it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuckMaster (talkcontribs) 23:18, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@CuckMaster: I'd encourage you to read WP:YOUTUBE and Wikipedia:Video links. Note that YouTube generally isn't considered a reliable source, although exceptions can be made. Also note that content uploaded on YouTube may be in violation of copyright laws, and if they are, they shouldn't be used on Wikipedia. I don't quite see evidence that the uploader owns the rights to that video. (Note that I have no real interest in the subject in question, just saw the edit while patrolling) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:54, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]


@K6ka: If you have no interest in the subject, perhaps we should leave it to someone WHO does in fact have an interest in John Charles Daly. I believe that many of the episodes now are in public domain, and the episode I have linked is in fact from 1960 which means it is certainly in the public domain. This is certainly a case where an exception can be made considering it is from an episode of the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuckMaster (talkcontribs) 00:05, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
