The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hedyot until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good 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 template from the top of the article. Gsingh (talk) 06:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
:Coin945, as you've created a lot of these "definition only" and "cut and paste" articles, I'd suggest reading the essay User:Uncle G/Cargo cult encyclopaedia article writing. It advises against your style of article creation. Fences&Windows 23:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
::Also, your pattern of gathering quotes about words and phrases fits exactly with what Wiktionary welcomes. You may enjoy creating or expanding their dictionary entries that define words and phrases. See their community portal for how to start. Be warned though, they're very strict on formatting requirements and you need to properly attest that the word is used and defined as you've written using durably archived sources, e.g. books and newspapers.

Page moves
I think your page moves around "international relations" may be unhelpful. Why move Neorealism (international relations) to Neorealism in international relations? They do not mean the same thing. The former is about an international relations concept called neorealism, as distinct from concepts in other disciplines which use the same name. The latter is about a more general topoic called "neorealism", as used or applied within international relations (would be appropriate for "Foreign language skills in international relations" perhaps). The Postcolonialism and international relations theory is just that: an article about theory. You have renamed it Postcolonialism in international relations which does not seem to be the same thing. Please do not rename (move) articles unless you have a good reason and a good understanding of the subject matter involved. I've mentioned this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_International_relations#Articles_being_renamed_from_.22X_.28international_relations.29.22_to_.22X_in_international_relations.22_and_more, to get a more expert view.

[[Doctor blade]]
I came across this while stub-sorting. Please remember to give a context so that someone coming across the article by hitting the "random article" is shown what it's about. You mentioned in the edit summary that the blade is mentioned in the Rotogravure article: it makes sense to include both a mention of that process as context and a link to the article. I've done that now.
Please also remember that the references ought to include enough information for someone to be able to see where the information has come from without following the link - either because they are looking at a printout of the article, or because the web link isn't working either temporarily or permanently. So please use a few more fields of the {{tl|cite web}} template. Thanks. PamD 09:00, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Deletion notifications
Hi,
You recently received a message about either "Articles for Deletion" or "Proposed Deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions, so that we can try to improve those notices in a WikiProject I work with:
- Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
- If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
- What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?
Feel free to answer here or send me your response by email (swalling{{@}}wikimedia.org). I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that. Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions.
Thank you! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 23:56, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[1 hour rule]]
Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg
The article 1 hour rule has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
:Neologism with no indication of widespread use
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|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.

Article of the Month
I proposed something yonks ago about an Article of the Month and a Core Article of the Month contest with a $500 Amazon vouchers prize for best article. I thought it would be a great way to lure in new contributors as well as get regulars such as myself to try that bit harder. Heard nothing back, and a friend of mind personally asked the foundation about it in California. Its disappointing that they don't see the potential in it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Your Smash song articles
As apparently you are not willing to read WP:NSONG I will post the important stuff here for you:
- Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article;
I chose to redirect per this guideline rather than nominate for deletion. You state in an edit summary "The article as it stands should be proof to you that the song is notable", what because there's loads of text? Your coverage amounts to blogs and fleeting mentions, I hardly think TV is my pacifier or Bitch stole my remote pass the test of reliable sources. So either I redirect them (again) to the relevant episodes or I nominate them for deletion. Which do you prefer? CaptainScreebo Parley! 13:56, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
::AFD, please. Bring it on. :)--Coin945 (talk) 15:25, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
::(that was a joke btw, not trying to be a pretentious a**hole or anything :P). Look, the thing is, these songs have been referenced in many top reviews that review the episodes as a whole but also write lots of stuff about the individual songs. Yes, the articles that I created today didn't have as much time invested into them to get the source juices flowing to full power, than those I created yesterday, but the few sources (at least) that I've stuffed into each article show that each song has been written about a lot (Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article). Those blogs of which you speak were only in a couple of the articles, and yet you redirected the entire bunch...... why, I don't know. I firmly believe that each song deserves a place in Wikipedia, and I do honestly believe that your rash reverts were uncalled for. I am intrigued to see what the wider community say, and as the creator of the articles, I sincerely hope you are crushed like a bug! :D (once again, a harmless joke).--Coin945 (talk) 15:25, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
::: While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I think you are misguided when you say "have been referenced in many top reviews", no they haven't, I have looked through them and there is hardly anything that qualifies as a reliable secondary source, and on the few occasions that i found one, there was only the fleetingest of mentions of the said song. You quote "Notability aside, etc.", this means that a) the song must meet the notability requirements set out above and b) needs to be covered in depth by reliable third-party sources. CaptainScreebo Parley! 16:02, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally find that hard to believe. Whilst sourcing my articles, I came across some very well respected names - A.V Club, Broadwayworld.com, Chicago Tribute, Los Angeles Times, PopCrush, TVLine, EW.com etc. Obviously the most amount of sources are for Let Me Be Your Star, but that is also due to the fact that I made that article first so invested the most amount of time into it. As I went along, I invested less and less time into each on because I was raring to make the next one. Just because the sources aren't in the article, it doesn't mean they don't exist. I simply made a template - a stub - that could then be added to afterwards. My articles are no finished product, and you should not be judging them as such. I'm sure the sources are out there, and that they just have to be found. You redirecting the articles after barely 2 days is like... WHAT?!! To put it bluntly and simply, I think your actions were wrong. As it is 1:00am over here in Perth and I'm really tired right now, I won't take any more action now but tomorrow if you haven't reverted your own redirects and/or AFD'ed the articles, then I will unredirect them myself because during all this chatter, Smash fans may very well've worked on he articles to being them up to code. With all the articles being in [http://www.reference.com/browse/tumbolia tumbolia], no progress will be done on the articles at all. As a side note, obviously the whole "I've put a lot of effort into these articles so keep them and leave me the bloody hell alone!!!" thing comes into it a bit, I must admit, but I do firmly believe that the articles have a place on Wikipedia.--Coin945 (talk) 17:17, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Zambrano family
- I think what you've done [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_zambrano_family_history&diff=497464835&oldid=497458409 here] is a good idea, but I think you've chose poor sources for your effort. [http://www.houseofnames.com/zambrano-family-crest This] is a site that exists solely to sell made up family crests to suckers who think they are authentic. There is nothing on that site that indicates that any legitimate research has gone into the crest design or the family name history. The crest there does not match the crest shown at [http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ZAMBRANO the DNA site], which appears more in line with other crests I have found for this family. I'm going to withdraw the AFD -- my further research indicates that the Diccionario reference may well be more reliable than I had thought, once one realizes that it is referencing Philip I of Castile, and not Philip I of France. I think there may be an article here after all; let's see what we can find! WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:36, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sound good. Sorry for being duped by that questionable source... *blush*. But as I said, I think whatsoever we do, the page will eventually become redundant and the content will just be moved into the Zambrano article anyways, so (as I said on the AFD), instead of being a list article, it becomes a prose article discussing the geo-political history of the name etc.--Coin945 (talk) 12:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Also, what words have you been including in your search to narrow down the results? Just typing in "Zambrano" isn't very helpful at all... :/--Coin945 (talk) 12:46, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I definitely think that the DNA site is a brilliant one, and so is [http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.euskalnet.net%2Flaviana%2Fgen_hispanas%2Fzambrana.htm&act=url that site you were talking about earlier] so will have to go through that with a fine tooth comb and extract all the good info that we can from it. I found [http://www.familyhistory.com/surnames.asp?surname=Zambrano&d=Zambrano%20genealogy this], which essentially has all the records for people with this surname in censuses etc. I'm not sure how that information would be useful to the Wiki article just yet, but I thought I'd send you a link to it anyways.--Coin945 (talk) 13:11, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I disagree with you about the "brilliance" of the DNA project. It is part of a large commercial site to attempt to use DNA to extend family genealogies, and is fairly commonplace. Take a look at what I've done in my userspace, at User:WikiDan61/Zambrano family and let me know if you think I've got something we can work with. By the way, the addition of the Japanese kanji equivalent of the name seems just silly. Any name, when rendered in kanji, will have a meaning that is quite unrelated to the actual meaning of the name. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:23, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- True. Haha I'm not even sure why I added it in in the first place. YOu're right - it's completely unencyclopedic. Are you sure about that DNA source? It seems to have some incredible useful info about the origins/history of the surname, which makes sense because they would have to have done a lot of research to allow to the project to function. It seems well-researched and very thorough....--Coin945 (talk) 14:40, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- What you've done with the article is awesome. I had a hard time reading that Spanish article well, so I'm very glad you could salvage some great info from it. You mentioned something about some of my sourced not being very reliable? Perhaps you can copy your article text into my article, and then help me get rid of the fluff.--Coin945 (talk) 14:45, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Spider-Man move
Hi, Coin. I understand your grammatical concern, but we don't unilaterally move pages without talk-page discussion. First of all, there is no article titled Batman in media, as you wrote in your edit summary at Spider-Man in other media. Secondly, "in other media" is standard Wikipedia phrasing that takes into account a character appearing in other media than comic books, such as film, television, books, etc. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:35, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
::Hmmm [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=in+other+media&title=Special%3ASearch], you're absolutely right. It may not sound grammatically correct to me, but it appears that the rest of Wikipedia disagrees. I apologize for my action. But I must admit, that it truly makes no sense to have an article about everything Spiderman has been in except the original source material. IMHO, these types of articles should be a sort of directory for information about the various types of media a character is involved in. So, it would then have a summary of each medium, and then by clicking on the "Main Page" link at the top of the desired medium, you would then go to the correct Wiki page. That seems much better. (as a side note, I was referring to the article Batman franchise media).--Coin945 (talk) 21:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - :Nike, Inc.#Origins_and_history. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at :Nike, Inc.#Origins_and_history - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-free rationale for File:Prize Players.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:Prize Players.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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:41, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Hatting comment on the main page
I'm not going to edit war with you over the content on Talk:Main Page; however, I suggest you self-revert. You are already engaged in an edit war (and a ridiculous one at that). If you want the tip of the day collapsed, then collapse the tip of the day, don't collapse Sun Creator's comment. Your edit is not in compliance with Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages, specifically non-contentious cleanup since I have found it contentious. Ryan Vesey 04:23, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
: As soon as I made that revert, I realised immediately that i didn't want an edit war either. Neither do I wnt to be disruptive or a vandal. I merely did what I thought I was right to do under the circumstances. I did not know I was going against any policy, and I certainly didn't want to engage in a petty war at all. Sorry for this whole debacle.--Coin945 (talk) 04:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Featured articles
In addition to what I said at the village pump, in your "this has been a pet peeve for many editors for ages" define many, define "for ages" (2004 to now). I see many more editors not concerned, all those hundreds who don't speak up there, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:15, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
::Fair enough. You are right. That is based on the supports the discussion has gotten so far. But there are many more opposes. I do not mean to start a fight, and I do not wish to start a heated argument with you. No, I do not have the facts and figures in my possession, and that was indeed a hyperbolous statement based on what I had observed in the discussion at Villagepump:Proposals. As I have said in my revised opening statement, I am not trying to be that guy who doesn't know what he's talking about who's trying to come in and completely change the way the featured article people to their thing. I was just trying to start a discussion on a topic that I don't think has been started before. If the discussion closes in favour of the opposes, so be it.--Coin945 (talk) 13:48, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
:::Fair. I try to live here in peace and remember only one "heated argument" about the name of Beethoven's 14th piano sonata. It ended with finding out that the one who started it all did not understand the concept of redirect and pipe link. If you want to call the articles a different name, you can always create redirects and piped links. I personally have no time for the effort of renaming while the true problem is how the TFAs are selected, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:10, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Amphidiscosa
Could you do the following to fix up Amphidiscosa please?
- Remove the answer reference, it is not reliable.
- Cite the authority
- Remove the quoted sentences and write them in your own words.
- Add the appropriate WikiProject Banner to the talk page. The article is of low importance and a stub. A photo is needed. "|importance=low|class=stub|photo-needed=yes"

One million and a half stars for you!
Hiya, Coin, some addition you've made to the HH page!! Just what it was lacking: a bit of background information and the connection between the book series and the TV show.
I've added some bits and bobs here and there (especially in the Critical response), tough nowt really significant, as I focused on the proofreading thingy and the writing style: the Episodes section's a bit of a cock-up – oooooops, hope you don't mind my swearing like trooper –, a sloppy copy'n'paste from the the British Comedy Guide site or summat like that, what you reckon?
Well, this is all for now. Glad to have run into you in these virtual neck of the virtual woods – the talk page of the article is creepily dead. Made me feel all alone.
Best,
--Cocolacoste (talk) 02:51, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
:Hey Cocolacoste. It's very nice to meet you! I'm very glad that you have the same passion with Horrible Histories as I do. I've loved them forever. I used to read the books and all of HH's spinoff series (Horrible Geography/Horribly Famous/Murderous Maths/The Knowledge etc.) all the time, and still do! I loved the animated series, and have now fallen head over heels with the new live-action one. I worked really hard on the article on the book series for a while ago, but haven't really been into editing these articles until today! Yeah. I totally agree - its just what the article's been lacking... and guess what? The information I've added is all from 1 source - a YouTube clip that is a Horrible Histories Masterclass - pretty much a guy sitting down to chat with 4 of the cast and crew for an hour. Once I'm done with this clip, I may even get onto adding information from other series. However, I really would like to start editing another of my favourite 90's series - the Carmen Sandiego franchise, so I can't promise anything *blush* :D. I've seen your edits, and I have to say, great job man! You've done an awesome job tidying this (as you say) cock-up of an article.. haha and I don't mind the swearing one bit. When I first saw the state of it, it scared me to death. I didn't even know where to begin. I suck and editing tables so I just kinda left it haha. Yeah.. a lot of sound[ed] really promotional... until you fixed it all up, that is. Thanks again! Yeah its great to meet you... Wikipedia can be a very lonely place. But don't let it get you down haha. Now that we've found each other, we can work together, and be THE BEST WIKI-DUO EVAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ;D--Coin945 (talk) 15:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
: (P.S. asl = male, 18, Australia)--Coin945 (talk) 15:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
::Me too!! I really dig HH, so fantastically written and acted!! Oddly enough, I discovered it only last year, when a friend recommend it to me, but have been DEVOURING each episode ever since.
::Yeah, I saw that YTube clip a while ago. There's also this one: http://www.bfi.org.uk/live/video/920, have a squint at it if you feel like it.
::Thanks ever so much for your kind comments on my edits, however there are still lotsa things to be done.
::Ramdom – and p'haps wrong – remarks about your additions: I'd remove the "Characters and Costuming" subsection as they're a tad irrelevant and seem written from a fan's point of view. Would keep this paragraph, though ("The makeup artists have properly researched and historically accurate picture of people from the various eras covered on the show. Ros Little, the costume designer, is "obsessive about the detail of the costumes". Sometimes the production team who are not in the historical side of the program say "it's fine" despite minor anachronisms. Farbeby argues that having non-historical costuming actually helps characterisation by allowing the characters to naturally look silly, as opposed to in a serious period piece. The costume designers and makeup artists work together closely with the historical consultants"), and put it into the Production section. What you reckon? Plus, there are a few slip-ups (typos and shit), will get round into subediting it asap – Obsessive, moi? Naaah.
:: One last thing: in my last edit (before yours) I cut this out (Ben Willbond explained that "you have to be good" to do this sort of green screen acting) 'cause I think B. Willbond is just taking the piss outta the die-hard "Method" actors, as they do in many of the Behind the scenes bits (like the Dance Masterclass one, or the one when M. Baynton interviews himself). Correct me if I'm wrong, please, and I'll fix it.
::Congratuverylations to the new Wiki duo!!! By the way, I'm a woman and live in the arse end of nowhere (aka Argentina)
PS, Will add your talk page to my watch list so that I can see your replies –I came across this one quite by chance. --Cocolacoste (talk) 00:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

[[Carmen Sandiego (franchise)]]
Image:Information.svg Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give :Carmen Sandiego (franchise) 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 needed for attribution and various other purposes. 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. 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:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. And please don't blank pages, whatever the reason. — Smjg (talk) 10:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
: Your last edit summary: "Gotcha. So I need to delete this page first, and then move the other page here, Well I guess I need to blank it and wait for someone with the authority to delete it... :)" I've just told you what you need to do. You need to list the page on WP:RM. And you must not blank a page, regardless of reason. — Smjg (talk) 10:17, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
:: I don't really see why.... the move is not controversial at all, and is in fact me rectifying a mistake that I made. Why waste people's valuable time at that page when the answer is staring us both right in the face? I'm sorry, but I honestly think you have a bit too much dependency on bureaucracy, when in this case simple common sense will do.--Coin945 (talk) 10:33, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
::: I am not a bureaucrat. Just like most of the people who leave messages on your talk page, I am just an ordinary WP editor trying to maintain the wiki's integrity. Moreover, most WP rules have reasons for them. As for the ones of relevance here, just so that you know for the future:
:::* Page histories are designed to show the evolution of an article over time, which is necessary for various purposes. If an article is moved to a different title, it is still in principle the same article, and so the page history needs to move with it. Using the page move facility achieves this; cutting and pasting the content into another article breaks it.
:::* If you blank a page, then sooner or later somebody will come to the blank page and wonder what on earth is going on, or assume that the site is down.
::: But policies aside, blanking a page does nothing to speed up the process of getting another page moved into its place, since an admin will have to delete it anyway. If anything, it probably slows it down, as admins will have to work out what the intention is, and other users will likely revert the blanking as vandalism in the interim. On the other hand, either listing the page at WP:RM, or tagging the destination page with {{tl|db-move}} if it really is uncontroversial, does help to achieve what you're trying to do.
::: Anyway, thank you for your cooperation. — Smjg (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Four Carmen Sandiego game floppy disks.jpg
Thanks for uploading :File:Four Carmen Sandiego game floppy disks.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Coin945&namespace=6}} this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξxplicit 00:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Main Theme Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego .ogg
Thanks for uploading :File:Main Theme Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego .ogg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:05, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
[[:File:Carmen Sandiego cases.jpg]]
The image dimensions were too large to comply with WP:NFC (please see), and it has been reduced to the largest size which I felt were easily justified. Some text details were unfortunately reduced to illegibility. If you wish to include the box text details in the image Description template, feel free. The details may need to be summarized, however, to avoid further copyright violation of the box text (since it's a creative work in itself). To discuss, and possibly get consensus for a larger reduced image, feel free to raise this at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --Lexein (talk) 11:44, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
[[Romanian Revolution of 1989]]

I made a disambiguation page for this: Romanian Revolution (disambiguation). bogdan (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Carmen Sandiego games.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:Carmen Sandiego games.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.

Zambrano from Italy
Zambrano From south america or nueva granada.
And i am currently looking for the Zambrana family relative that formed the Zambraos that travel to flanders.
Ochoa zambraos may be related to a zambrana child that had no rigth to the Lord title.

[[Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time]]
Hi, Coin945, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested to the above article at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my changes if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:25, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
:I'm a bit concerned about reference 31, which is described as "Personal communication with David Saccheri on 9 November 2012". This would be original research under WP's verifiability requirements, so unless you can provide the same info from a published source, it'll have to come out. Also, you can change the problem image licenses to Fair Use; that way they can remain in the article. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:11, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
::Hello. Firstly, let me just say that I am very grateful that you have decided to copyedit the article that i requested. I appreciate that you gave it a shot, despite thinking that it needed too much work for a copyedit to be useful. The first thing that catches my attention is the amount of content that has been outright deleted. For example, about half of what was in the introductory paragraph has now been deleted (i know its only supposed to give an overview of the rest of the article, but the info itself didn't seem bad to me at all). The many paragraphs listing members of the crew (which understandably got deleted) was not replaced with a mention of the most important figures. What is left - especially in the gameplay section - is rather hard to follow and would be confusing to a reader. As someone who invested a lot of their time and energy into getting this article up to a standard I was happy with, I would appreciate some form of justification for the choices you have made. Yes.. the pangs of personal attachment are quite prominent when seeing your edits... even thoguh I know i should remain impartial. I am just dubious as to whether your edits are in fact improvements or not.--Coin945 (talk) 13:14, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
::In regard to the personal communicaiton issue, I had hit a crossroad, when I had gotten all the info I could by using free sources, and while waiting to pass various paywalls I sought contacts from the production team to find out more. Saccheri very graciously gave up his time and gave me some very interesting information that I decided to include. I saw nothing wrong with it. The transcript of the conversation can be accessed via my facebook account (i used my facebook email address). Can I not simply 'print screen' the images and upload them somewhere to prove the conversations actually took place? It is obvious that I am not lying... and it would suck bigtime if we had to get rid of true info due to a minor technicality....--Coin945 (talk) 13:14, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
:::Hi, thanks for replying. I appreciate that you've taken the trouble to research the game, which is commendable in itself. Yes it would be sad to lose all that work from the article. Unfortunately, on Wikipedia original research isn't a minor technicality. Wikipedia doesn't publish original research; everything must be verifiable from reliable, published sources. If you wrote an article for (say) a games magazine, and it was published, we could then use it as a source, but we can't use Facebook as a reference because anyone can publish on Facebook and there are no editorial controls. It might be suitable if Saccheri is talking about himself (which would be off-topic), but not about the game.
:::There are guidelines on video game articles, and please bear in mind that Wikipedia isn't a video game guide. Finally, take a look at God of War II, a video game article that has achieved GA status, for an idea of what is expected at GA.
:::I deleted a huge amount of text because it either provided too much detail, didn't convey any information about the game or was off-topic. FA reviewers have very high standards; they want to see tightly-written, information-rich text that conveys all the important information about the subject, that is properly referenced and is interesting, and makes readers want to continue reading the article.
:::I do appreciate that you're probably quite young, and are fairly new to Wikipedia. Please don't feel discouraged by my apparent hacking away at the article; I'm trying to get the best out of the text and I hope you'll see an improved article by the time I'm finished. It won't be perfect but I'll do my best with what's there. I hope you'll continue contributing to the encyclopaedia. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:41, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Coin, just a note to let you know I'm still working on this article. See my edit summaries over there for more details. Cheers, and compliments of the season to you. :-) Baffle gab1978 (talk) 06:07, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
:Copy-edit done (though I might do some more clean-up); please feel free to contact me about any issues with the copy-edit. Good luck with your planned FA nomination. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:25, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Bongee Bear and the Kingdom of Rhythm]]
Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg
The article Bongee Bear and the Kingdom of Rhythm has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
:notability concerns, whilst not a hoax I'm not convinced it passes WP:NFILMS as even though there's a wealth of mentions on reliable sites they're little more than either marketing guff or part of an automated index, there's no critical appraisal of it and IMDb even lacks an entry for it.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

"Anal"
If you're unsure if something is a personal attack or not, it probably is, but I recommend the real-life interaction test. If you were, say, at a store or restaurant talking to the person working there and they creased their brow suddenly and said "Why are you being so anal?" would you consider this an acceptable statement? What about in a business meeting, or to a stranger on the street? Just because this is the internet and we can't see each others' faces does not mean that these statements do not pass through the same filters of acceptable social behavior when being read. So yeah, that was an inappropriate comment, and definitely not helpful for the discussion. siafu (talk) 16:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
:: I apologise, and I am sorry that you took such offense. I used "anal" as short for anal retentiveness (in a lighthearted manner, hence the whole "excuse my french" thing) - merely a term used to describe a type of behaviour, or outlook, not meant to be hurtful at all. Perhaps you saw the word "anal" and took offense to its other meaning (in the same way that people became upset at that featured article for the South Park episode that had the word "Poo" in it, without taking context into account). I don't know. All I can say is that at that point in time, I wanted to describe the (in my view) overly strict terms and conditions you had placed on the Wikipedia misconceptions when, as had been pointed out, it seemed that the sources already in the article had not gone through such a grueling (understandably so) process. I was led to believe that you were very thorough and had a great attention to detail, which can only be commended. You are right. On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog, and while that is certainly an acceptable word in my vocabulary (and seemingly the perfect word to use in that context), it may very well get lost in translation. Again, I apologise for upsetting you, and I sincerely hope we can move past this unfortunate faux pas.... :)--Coin945 (talk) 12:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[List of media sharing websites]]
Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg
The article List of media sharing websites has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
:Completely unused dab, no incoming links, little traffic. "Media sharing" does not have an article, so this is an unlikely search term.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Main Theme Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego .ogg)
File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Main Theme Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego .ogg. 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.

Your changes to the table at TAFI - Nominations
Hello,
I just saw your recent 40-50 nominations at the tables, and your changes to the table format. And I think they're great!!! Brilliant thinking!!! :)
I am a little short on time currently and so I cant do it myself, but I am hoping you would continue the tables conversion and extend it to all the nominations at the nomination as well as Holding Areas. Once again, well done and keep it up !!! :D
And yes. You did nominate way more articles than we could currently think of handling. But once again, I think they're great. Some really excellent nominations there. (Am still reading through them to figure how many to support!)
Cheers,
TheOriginalSoni (talk) 18:52, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
:Thankyou so much for your kind words. As I said in one of the edit summaries, I did get a little carried away, and by a little I mean a lot :P. I do think that all (or at least most) or my suggestions are good ones, so fingers crossed that I didn't screw things up too majorly. I do think that due to the huge influx of nominations, the amount of time articles stay on the page before being archived should be extended. I read the discussions on the talk page, and decided to be bold and make a change that I figured would make everyone's lives a heck of a lot easier. I'm glad to see you appreciate my work. :). Sadly, because you have to click thoruhg like 3 screens to get to the daily views, it's gonna be a bit of a bitch to complete the tables, but I'll see what I can do.--Coin945 (talk) 01:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Revising the nominations process at [[Wikipedia:Today's article for improvement]]
I'm seeking wider input on a proposed redesign of the nomination process over at TAFI. The current method could benefit from some streamlining and usability tweaks. If you feel so inclined, I'd like to hear your opinion on the matter. --NickPenguin(contribs) 23:03, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Nominating at TAFI
Hello,
Per this section on the TAFI talk page, I think we have a mutual abstention from the nomination process to allow only our newer members to nominate article. May I request you to do the same, and simply keep track of the names of the articles you'll like to see here, so you can nominate them all when we find the need to do so?
Thanks and cheers,
TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:21, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

:::: Yes indeed. Any ideas on how to do all that? Do comment on the talk page with your opinions on them. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Although its usually not considered good practise, I have boldly edited your new section at Jimbo's talk page so that we might not want to be discouraging to other new members. Please feel free to revert/change anything that you feel was unjust. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:17, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Also, do you mind moving your nominations on the talk to your userspace? We are all keeping our separate lists by ourselves :) TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
:Oh... didn't realise that would be a problem haha :). I just figured starting a list to ensourage others to put their nominations there (rather than clog up the nominations section) was a good idea. I'll certainly do it.--Coin945 (talk) 17:22, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Ideas for TAFI
- Crown (headgear)
- Headstone
- Hourglass
- Human heart
- Christogram
- Angel of Grief
- Arch
- Ivy
- Oil lamp <-- man is this article a mess...
- Bay Laurel
- Lily
- Olive branch
- Peafowl <-- terrible article for one viewed daily around 7000-8000 times..
- Poppy
- Cross <-- excluding the list, this article is a basic stub on what should be a comprehensive topic.
- Skeleton
- Torch
- Trunk (botany)
- Tzedakah
- Salix babylonica (Weeping Willow)
- Star system (filmmaking) <-- this really intrigues me. It's essentially about how filmmakers in the early days of cinema created brand loyalty to actors/companies/directors etc.--Coin945 (talk) 05:03, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Gödel, Escher, Bach
- Incoherents
Yeah that's undue weight
Massively undue weight, and it would be even more so if it had its own article. I dispise the show, but that is way, way too much. Especially as a lot of the sources are not exactly high quality. I'd say the section is already sufficient in size, though there may be some scope to change it around. The Guardian, Time and Ortved can stay, but no more than a brief quote from each. And no quote boxes, unless you can balance it with a positive review. Gran2 17:31, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
:That was only the beginning. I didn't want to add even more information as it seemed to be getting a bit too large. I actually truly love this show. It's just the specific sources I chose had less than flattering things to say. But I've got about 10 tabs open at the moment full of good, bad, and other things to say about the show's changing quality over the years (or indeed if there has been any change at all). It's really late over here, so I'll go to bed now, and tomorrow I'll get to work on the spinoff article. Perhaps you can have a look through what I've added and see how much should stay here, and how much should be reserved for the spinoff. :)--Coin945 (talk) 18:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
: For example, I have the John Ortveid book with me, which has a wealth of quotes from Simpsons-related people about the show being as good as it ever was, but I skimmed over them to get to the text by the author himself. I'll add those other quotes into the article when I get the chance.--Coin945 (talk) 18:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
:P.S. Yes.. I thiink maybe one or two were of dubious quality, but I knew it was a case of 'this is backed up in many sources and I just happened to pick a dud one' so I kept them there anyways, to be swapped later.--Coin945 (talk) 18:06, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
::As said, I don't think a separate article is really justified, although I'd fully support re-writing and expanding the section a bit given that it is a bit stale. The Time, Guardian stuff is all fine (although not at the length it's quoted), but stuff like Dead Homers (as much as I would dearly love to include it), fails notability standards, unless you can find a reliable media source which mentions it. Anyway, I'll let you finish the job tomorrow before further discussion. Gran2 18:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
:::Thankyou for your patience. Rather than talking theoretically about it, atm I'm putting together the article. The references are just bare links because I've got a lot and would rather do all that messiness later. I'm working in Microsoft Word, so will post it in a sandbox soon. I really think this has a lot of potential. It is a majorly huge aspect of The Simpsons, and has been dominating the public discourse surrounding the show ever since the supposed end of its golden age (that's one of my sections - 'when' did it end).--Coin945 (talk) 05:52, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
::::I think there's some mileage here, but perhaps (although it would be more work) a broader 'Critical reception of The Simpsons' article? This could encompass the positive reaction of the early and the negative reaction towards the latter, without being overly focused on the issue of decline. Gran2 13:50, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
::::: User:Coin945/The Simpsons quality. Not sure if that's the best title for it just yet, and also accept that there's a lot more to be done (a few sections need fleshing out, a few subsections need to be jiggled about etc.), but *dusts hands* I think I've done a pretty good job for such a short amount of time. I totally understand what you've said, and agree that a Critical reception article would be awesome too (and this can be the basis for that article if we decide to can it), but I think it is worth a looking over by you and others in The Simpsons Wikiproject. I'd love to help you guys get to work on the Cultural impact/Critical receptions ones. :)--Coin945 (talk) 16:53, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

About TAFI
Hello,
I think that things are going nowhere for the TAFI, as far as the main page is concerned. In my opinion, the most viable way to solve this situation is to simply start an RFC on the main page talk to finalize all the little details (Where do we put it, How many lines, How do we balance it, etc etc). Link this rfc from CENT and the watchlist, and village pump, and jimbo's talk page. Get others to comment on it, and have a decision taken. This seems to be the best and in this case, possibly the only way, to actually implement it on the main page anytime soon. What do you think?

Non-free rationale for File:Junior Detective cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:Junior Detective cover.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.

Nomination of [[Quality issue of The Simpsons]] for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quality issue of The Simpsons until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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 template from the top of the article. MichiganCharms (talk) 19:46, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
The Simpsons
Hello
I decided to reply here, because the discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quality issue of The Simpsons started to divert from the original discussion.
I personally like overview articles like the ones you suggested, which is why I got History of The Simpsons up to GA standards. I do believe that The Simpsons deserve articles like the ones you mentioned. This however takes a lot of time, which I quite simply don't have much of these days. My last project was getting Media in The Simpsons up to GA standards. It still needs a lot of work, but it is way better than the mess it used to be. I have collected material for Politics in The Simpsons in User:Maitch/draft3 and Religion in The Simpsons in User:Maitch/draft4. I think it is a bad idea to merge the theme articles - there is just too much ground to cover. You could do an entire article on homosexuality in The Simpsons alone.
I feel bad that you did all that work on the Quality article, just to have it deleted. You do have some interesting tidbits, but you need to rework it into another form. I would advise you to save your article in a sandbox, like my drafts and then try and see if you can use it elsewhere.
I don't think I am much help anymore, since I am semi-retired. I have written up to 100 Simpsons articles, so I have done my fair share. I can offer you some advice from time to time. My main advice is that spend more time finding reliable sources WP:RS. You have way two many unreliable sources in your article.
What kind of project do you want to do most? --Maitch (talk) 19:50, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
::I appreciate all the hard work you've done for Wikipedia. Many Simpsons fans thank you. I don't really know what project I'd like to do. I think information from Quality could be used for articles ranging from critical reception to voice acting to writing. TBH I've kinda lost interest in the whole thing now. With the whole tackling the daunting task on my own to the AFD discussion which was more about deleting the article than objectively looking at the idea behind the creation of the article and seeing possible future directions, I'm kinda bored now. Plus, Wikipedia these days seems to only want B class articles as soon as they're created, so while I'd love to start branch articles on all those other things, you know they'd all be deleted for not having enough information in order to justify their existence... even thoguh the whole point of Wikipedia is to build on small things. You say you don't have enough time to work on such articles? Well I'm in the same boat. As I said, I'd be willing to start various articles for others to build on (the whole point of crowdsourcing), but we'll see how we go.--Coin945 (talk) 08:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
:::I totally get that you lost interest. These days I see many people who are trying to "fix" Wikipedia by deleting stuff, rather than doing the hard work of sorting out the stuff that works and build upon that.
:::Anyway, I think a better stategy for you is to pick a topic of smaller scope, collect enough reliable sources to justify the existence of an article while working on it in your own personal sandbox and then create the article when it is ready. Alternatively, you could do some work on the articles that already exists. Non-English versions of The Simpsons could really use an upgrade, but it has survived several deletion reviews. List of The Simpsons writers could use some text to go along with the list. Media in The Simpsons, Politics in The Simpsons, and Religion in The Simpsons still needs lots of work. Also, I had the idea of turning Products produced from The Simpsons into an article about "Commercialism on The Simpsons". Maybe we could collaborate on something, but I only think I can put in a few hours work per week. --Maitch (talk) 14:07, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Need input on Original songs in Smash
Caringtype1 and I are having a disagreement about the songs getting their own pages since I went ahead and did several Season 2 songs. We need you to weigh in since you've been part of the discussion already. Caring wants only certain songs to get their own pages and I thought we had agreed to make the effort to make pages and then defend notability. See the Song pages section. Thanks Ducold (talk) 21:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

User:TheOriginalSoni/Snappy. Tell me what you think of them, and how they can be best used. Cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
: I replied at the talk page for Snappy.
: Also, there is a genuine imbalance that occurs whenever 2 lines are used, and not 1. So we really need a wide enough consensus before we can try expansion to 2 lines. We just need to keep our heads down, and wait. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I've realised that getting all emotional or involved or psyched up about it from my side is not going to help the overall discussion. It tended to actually sidetrack it. So what i do now is to simply not participate in the discussion unless I have some important point to say, or an opinion to convey (See my last three replies there). I found out that that was good for both me, and the discussion. Maybe you should consider doing the same?

License tagging for File:Good game app.jpg
Thanks for uploading :File:Good game app.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Missing Junglist.jpg]]
A tag has been placed on :File:Missing Junglist.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. czar · · 10:27, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Horrible Histories (2009 TV series)
Hi Coin, I notice that you are re-adding much that I took out though I gave reasons in the edit summary and are explored on the article talk page. Lines like
::'Jenner has stated that he is "genuinely gutted" when the show gets a fact wrong, because the workers have invested so much time and energy into a show that they are so proud of. '
are too close to the primary material and to embedded in single production staff opinions. The article already covers in detail the number of errors made on the shows and that crew don't like it. I think the article needs to pull towards a more encyclopaedic tone and sound less like a glowing CBBC infopage. A reader who hates the show should be able to read the article and find it useful, seeing the simple facts reflected. I would prefer that you discuss re-adds on the article talk page, rather than just adding content straight back in. Span (talk) 19:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Coin, editors are walking away from the HH article in frustration with your approach. You are not addressing any of the issues raised on the article talk page and getting perilously close to non-consensus disruptive editing. Nobody likes to be ignored. Span (talk) 19:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
::::Span, To be fair, I didn't think there were *that* many editors editing the article to begin with. Just us 3, i'd have thought. And as I previously mentioned, i wasn't intentionally ignoring anybody. I like to edit articles undistracted, so i deliberately didnt check my notifications or the talk page or anything. it wasn't a conscious decision. i was just too busy doing other things. I agree with you in regard to having "a more encyclopaedic tone" completely. I find it extremely difficult to find the distinction betwen that and what's there at the moment. It would help me greatly if you guys could help me out. I seems like rather than actually editing the article, the poeple who have identified the errors are instead asking me to fix them.. which seems rather counterintuitive. Yes, i made mistakes, butt hat's what's so great about wikipedia. Others can identify and fix them. There were a couple of "well you cocked up so you fix it" type comments in the talk page, which was rather disconcerting... I'll see what the situation is like now. The reason i restored that info was just in case there was anything that would be useful in the completed article. I must confess I'm a tad hoarder-ish.. which probably isn't the best trait to have when it comes to wikipedia articles. Nevertheless, now that the article is 'complete', ti can be cut back and changed until the featured article lurking around in there somewhere comes to light.--Coin945 (talk) 13:33, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
::::::I understand that it felt like we were asking you to fix errors. In your extreme focus you undid [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horrible_Histories_%282009_TV_series%29&offset=20130617170009&limit=100&action=history all the copy editing I did], without comment. The work had taken me the best part of the afternoon. There seemed little point in doing it all again and more if changes were just reverted. I am not suggesting you are incompetent (as you wrote on the article talk page). Your enthusiasm and commitment to Wikipedia are to be celebrated. But we are a fundamentally collaborative project - all placed on an equal footing. It's a team effort. [http://horrible-histories.wikia.com/wiki/Horrible_Histories_Wiki Wikia] has much less rigid rules and maybe a better to place to paste everything, if you are worried about information being lost. It may also be that detailed WP articles may be written on specific HH aspects. I'd like to hear from Coco on her thoughts about how to progress. Edit summaries really are very helpful for other editors to understand the reasons for changes. More than one editor working on the article at precisely the same time just seems to make editing hard for everyone. Span (talk) 18:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
A pot of English breakfast tea, for a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
(I recommend the biscuits).

::::For what it's worth, I didn't actually revert your edits. Your copyediting was much appreciate. All I did was bring back a whole paragraph or two. Paragraphs that as far as im aware you didnt copyedit at all, and merely deleted whole. I remember bringing back a chunk for the Anglo-centric section; the information suddenly had greater importance within the context of the article. So reinstating them didnt seem like that big of a deal. If I had reverted your entire useful edit, then i can see how that would have been a much bigger problem. This probably got lost in translation due to (surprise surprise) the lack of edit summaries. Thankyou for the virtual tea and biscuits though :)--Coin945 (talk) 06:18, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
