August 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Red's Tube Bar Christmas (Single) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/TubeBar.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Please review WP:MUSIC, especially the section on songs and albums, before undoing any more redirects. The other option you face is to have them nominated for deletion entirely. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 10:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Tube Bar prank calls worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Album tubebarbootleg2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Album tubebarbootleg2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 07:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Album tubebarCE2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Album tubebarCE2.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Puffin Let's talk! 14:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Your images

You have no liscence on your images, but the rationale was right. I added the liscencing for you though. Well done. Puffin Let's talk! 18:17, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

September 2011

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Content Scramble System. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Calabe1992 (talk) 19:40, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Questioning a revert

I think you may have misread my edit when you reverted it - I wasn't removing a source, I was expanding it into a full cite template. It has a completely different headline, but that's the title given at the URL. The rest of the edit was just tidying up the confusing/contradictory presentation of the Groening quote (the "creative synchronicity" line sounds like it's accusing Groening of contradicting himself, but I don't think that's the case) and removing the unsourced aside that the Bum Bar Bastards invented the Mike Hunt gag name. --McGeddon (talk) 16:02, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Am I missing something? I am sorry if I am and perhaps you could better explain your reasoning behind this. The quote that Groening stated as "creative synchronicity" came directly from the L.A. Times Article that you removed in your edit. Be what it may it is an RS and I didn't make up what it said: (Please carefully read: http://articles.latimes.com/1993-06-03/news/vw-42985_1_prank-calls) I just don't see any grounds for removing that source simply because you feel it doesn't sound right. It is more of an RS then anything else up there concerning Groening and the tapes.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyros1972 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 24 September 2012‎
Okay, got it. I wasn't removing "synchronicity" for not being in the source, I just reworked the quote because it seemed clumsily presented in the article - what exactly is "Groening had obtained a copy and incorporated the phone high jinks into a running gag [...] However, according to an L.A. Times Article from 1993 Groening stated that the connection was "creative synchronicity" but admitted to being a fan of the calls" trying to say? That he deliberately worked the gag into the Simpsons, but also dismissed this similarity as "synchronicity" (so a "coincidence"?), but also admitted to being a fan of the tapes? The "however" makes it sound like we're conflating two sources, but we only have the one - I suppose an editor added everything after "however" to rebut the unsourced claim that it was deliberate?
You're right that I gave a bad summary of the source. I'll see if I can find a clearer statement from Groening - his being a knowledgeable fan of the tapes yet also dismissing the Simpsons homage as "synchronicity" seems a bit off. I'll revert the other changes I made, in the mean time, if your only objection was my use of the Groening source. --McGeddon (talk) 10:00, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes I agree with your point. I didn't have a problem with your edit, it was that you removed that L.A. Times source that's all. I probably should have just edited it back in but didn't review it carefully enough. It's fine as you reverted it, thanks for the explanation. Tyros1972 (talk) 23:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
