Accidental transclusion of {{copyvio}} in User:Davey2010/RedWarn/Default Warnings

change

Hi, just saying it seems like User:Davey2010/RedWarn/Default Warnings is in the possible copyright violations category. This seems to be be because it has JSON containing this:

"name": "Removing {{copyvio}} template from articles"

I am fairly confident that is not your intent, but I don't know what parser you use with that JSON so I'm not sure how to stop the template from being transcluded there. — 76.212.74.243 (talk) 22:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @76.212.74.243, Many thanks for letting me know I had no idea it showed there - I've blanked the page for now, Thanks again, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Skerpsov, You re-added vandalism here[1] so I therefore believed you were a sock of the IP, If you don't want to be reverted then I would respectfully suggest you don't re-add vandalism that block-evading IPs are adding, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:07, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Short question

change

Just curious, have you thought of returning to WM Commons? It has been over a year since your indef block there. I apologise if this question upset you. A1Cafel (talk) 09:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @A1Cafel, Many thanks for your comment,
In short no - They weren't interested in unblocking me in August and I highly doubt anything's changed since to be honest. And plus they'd no doubt use the block on here to say "he's clearly not learned his lesson" or some bs excuse, so yeah unless they unblock me as time served then my block expiration date there won't be changing anytime in my lifetime unfortunately,
I of course regret what I said and that I'm the only person responsible for my words 110% but in some ways I also feel resentful at how I was treated or how it was handled - It just felt like "Oh he swore me, indef for him" and even 2 months later that didn't change despite me apologising and saying I would do things differently,
But yeah no I'm happy without Commons to be honest, Of course I'd love to edit there again but too much has been said and done and that bridge has unfortunately been burnt,
I'm happy enough on here and EN so it's all good :), Have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

IceTre Request

change

Discussion closed. Please continue this on the RFD page. –Davey2010Talk 11:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hello there, about 12 days ago “IceTre” was nominated for deletion and in the most recent reply to you on the “IceTre” deletion talk page I gave absolute without a doubt proof of the subject’s notability (I was able to prove that the subject has released two or more albums on a major record label / or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable.) There has been no response from anyone in 5 days so I am asking for you to please grant acceptance of the subject’s wiki. Since it’s been 5 days after the 17th when a decision was to be made I fear that it may become forgotten about. I do not wish to burden you with this. If you can close the request out and grant its acceptance to stay then I can continue to work on the subjects wiki and add in more sources to keep the page in healthy and proper condition and you can further continue your work here on Wiki and outside of it as well. Please let me know if that is agreeable. Thank you Stephenbestk28 (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) @Stephenbestk28 Davey is not and admin and cannot close this discussion, please wait for and admin to look into this. Thanks Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 03:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Stephenbestk28 adding on, most of the community think this article should be deleted. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 03:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't sure if they were the admin or not. It's the communities duty to feel that way and it's my duty to convince them otherwise. That's how this works but if my evidence / proof is not being taken into consideration or being ignored then that shows a clear bias and unfair practices.
Question, did you look at the evidence provided or did you simply comment without looking into the evidence? The subject released two or more albums on a major record label under Guideline #5 in the Music Notability Guideline. I proved that the subject did release music on a major record label thus the evidence was provided.
In court you have to show up to testify otherwise your statements are nullified. They made the statements for it to be deleted but then when I provided evidence on why it's notable then I hear nothing back which renders their statements null.
If someone wants me to provide evidence and I provide evidence and they don't say anything about it then that mean I sufficiently provided evidence to a degree where it was suitable enough for no response.
Ironically speaking, none of those people who nominated it to be deleted could actually prove that the subject isn't notable: they simply raised their concerns but they didn't say anything that wasn't able to be provided with evidence. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wasn’t trying to say it was going to be deleted, I was just telling the community opinion and I am not related to this topic. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 04:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
And also in order to make a solid case there has to be sufficient evidence to back up all claims so skimming over my paragraphs of information falls under unfair practices as well. There has to be impartial fairness behind the process which includes taking my evidence into consideration and weighing out both options.
I was able to prove notability for the subject and as that stands there should be no other hiccups based on that fact alone.
The community said the subject was guilty and my evidence proves the subject is innocent so if that's the case then how come this doesn't feel like a fair trial? I'm just simply using that example as a point reference. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Post this in the community discussion for the deletion Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 04:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Stephenbestk28, As kindly noted by Cactus I'm not an admin so I don't have the final say here, I still maintain it should be deleted and wont be changing my mind, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
In court they are allowed to poll the jury and find out why they voted guilty or not guilty. You asked for proof of notability, i gave it to you, and you still vote no so this seemingly is no longer about whether the subject is notable or not but it's about self preservation (aka sticking to your guns) and that you simply "don't like the wiki". This is no longer about notability. You are allowing yourself to stay unconvinced and that is okay but for the future do not ask for evidence only to deny it's existence when it's presented to you. There is no reason to be on a jury just to disrupt the process if nothing can be provided to change your mind. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please do not discuss about an RFD with on the user talk page, please write all this at the RFD discussion. Thanks. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 07:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
You haven't provided any evidence that the subject meets NMUSIC and GNG - All's you've done is given your opinion and not much else. Either way I'm closing this because I have no interest in further discussing it,
I will say this - I would invite you to check out the following articles Pyramids FC TV, MIUI, 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC), and COSAFA Cup - All 4 articles ended up at RFD and all 4 were obviously kept because they were notable, I expanded and sourced those articles too - In short if the subject is notable It's a keep, if it's not notable then it gets deleted,
So you can peddle along with this "I don't like the wiki" as much as you like - I don't care for the subject, I care about article inclusion and keeping articles that are notable. Have a great day. –Davey2010Talk 11:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Yes that is correct, If you're adding cast members to a article than all's you need to do is a find a news article that says they were in that show, unfortunately IMDb cannot be used (see en:WP:Citing IMDb), Hope this helps, Thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 11:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It can't as it's a fan-made website, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 11:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Since "Behind The Voice Actors" is a fan-made website, it cannot be used as a citation for certain cast members. Thanks for the support and have a nice day, Davey. 5.180.207.80 (talk) 11:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome, Thanks and you have a nice day too, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 11:53, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wait, there's something else I need to tell you. Profanity, sexual themes, nudity, and all other things are not allowed in any Wikipedia, especially the Simple English Wikipedia (this one). If somebody will put any of these in a Wikipedia page (for example Oijfeaoijgeagea), his/her change will be reverted and he/she will probably get blocked. For example, Oijfeaoijgeagea got blocked indefinitely after doing some disruptive editing.
I don't know any news articles that can be used as a citation for some cast members. If there's one I know, I will return. If there aren't any news articles I know, then there is no desire to return. Thanks and have a nice day. 93.33.22.207 (talk) 12:19, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh okay Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 12:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Here's the final word: if any profanity, sexual themes, nudity, etc. is found in a Wikipedia page, it will be deleted and somebody might block the man who inserted one of those things I've mentioned earlier. Bye! 93.33.22.207 (talk) 12:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
This is my talkpage and as such I get the final word here and it's this; go read en:WP:NOTCENSORED, images showing the human anatomy are allowed and are fine, If you have a problem with it then go to WP:Simple talk and propose changes, Until then images stay as are. –Davey2010Talk 14:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Okay, even though this is your talk page. Thanks and have a nice day. 93.33.22.207 (talk) 14:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, you too, –Davey2010Talk 14:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edit on Ice Age (2002 movie)

change

Hi, Davey. I noticed that you did a change to Ice Age (2002 movie), and here's what you did: you copied and pasted the cast list of that movie from the English Wikipedia. In addition, there are some voice actors that were not mentioned in the English Wikipedia:

All of these voice actors are credited in the ending credits of that movie. This is all I can tell you for now. Thank you so much and I hope you have a nice day. 5.180.207.80 (talk) 17:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I've reinstated your edits as you're indeed correct they did voice those characters too, –Davey2010Talk 18:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good job! In addition, you said: "Appreciate this isn't the normal way of citing however bar end credits there's nothing else confirming these and obviously I cannot link to said credits as they're copyright violations anyway"
Have a nice day! 93.40.82.17 (talk) 06:10, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks and no worries, Have a nice day too, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 10:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi 108.2.126.127 (talk, Please accept my sincere apologies, I saw your edits to the Busta Rhymes article and compared it with the English Wikipedia version and one addition wasn't in the infofox there so I assumed you were a vandal, Having gone through your contributions I can see you are in fact removing vandalism not introducing it so please accept my sincere apologies, I've removed the warning from your page too, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 15:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism per contrib

Is this really a good edit summary for reverting edits? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 10:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I saw you use this. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 10:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Cactusisme, Thank you for reverting the vandalism it's greatly appreciated, Do you have diffs of me saying this because I don't recall ever saying this ? (I remember copypasting a previous editors edit summary about pov pushing),
To answer the question - "Vandalism (per Davey?)" should generally be avoided as it implies you don't actually know if it is vandalism or not, I always compare with the English Wikipedia - if the edit isn't there then I'll revert but sometimes you also need to check the page history at En in case the editor has sneakily added the same edit there too,
But yeah once is fine but I would avoid using that summary all the time, If you're not sure just don't revert, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 11:21, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Davey2010

 this--Cactus🌵 spiky ouch  07:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Cactusisme That wasn't per anyone - That was an automatic edit summary provided by RW and if you look carefully you'll see it says "Vandalism (from contribs)" not "Vandalism (per contribs)" .... From and Per are two different things entirely...... –Davey2010Talk 11:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Major Edit Denied?

Hello. I came here because I was expanding the Simple Wiki's Hailey's On It!, and when I was done, a Captcha came on, and I answered it. Later it said that it was denied. I went out and looked at the abuse filter log and the description was LTA 351. I don't know what that means, and I don't get why they wouldn't let me edit the page. Can you make the edit for me?

Hi @2601:402:4402:61F0:E2DA:D876:6031:1D80, LTA 351 is hidden so I unfortunately don't know what you did or said that resulted in your edit being prevented, You might want to consider creating an account as once you reach certain thresholds you won't keep being prevented from creating articles :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Amaryllidinae You're welcome :), The world has changed since I first created this account so you probably have a thousand more hoops than I ever did,
I would suggesting reading en:Wikipedia:User access levels#Overview and then en:WP:AUTOCONFIRM as those are applicable to you, The more you edit and the more days you're generally on here the easier it becomes I think, You'll probably still encounter issues with an account but I would hope life would be more easier now than it was on an IP :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

my edits on the 'list of Wikipedias' article and its reversion

change

The reason I edited the 'list of Wikipedias' article and copied extra information from the English Wikipedia's entry on that article about that topic while replacing some information on this Wikipedia edition's entry on that article with that one's, is to make this article's information more consistent with that one, while using simple Basic English. The first time I did that, @Kk.urban: reverted my edit the following day and told me that edit was too complex, so I made a similar edit six months later while simplifying certain sentences to the best of my abilities. Seeing how you also reverted my edits to that article four days and a half later, a few days ago, and told me the previous revision was simpler, why do you think that, and what do you think I can do to make the information I copy from the English Wikipedia's entry on that article simpler? PK2 (talk) 10:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The sentences/paragraphs, images used, tables .... everything was imho over complicated and complex, that all being said I'm not exactly thrilled about List of Wikipedias#Wikipedia edition codes existing either however that's been there for over 10 years seemingly without issue,
I'll be honest I don't have any helpful advice other than "try to keep words simple and sentences short", Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 13:23, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Anachronistic" Categories

change

Hello @Davey2010, I need a secondary opinion about an issue. User:Gotitbro recently removed many categories from a number of articles, citing them as anachronistic in the edit summaries. Could you review these diffs and let me know if you find these categories problematic? I’d appreciate it. I don’t think User:Gotitbro wants to follow my advice and build consensus on the talk pages, and my continued reverts would only lead to edit warring. Here are the diffs: (Special:Diff/9750197, Special:Diff/9750186, Special:Diff/9750208, Special:Diff/9750209, Special:Diff/9750246, Special:Diff/9750250, Special:Diff/9750253, Special:Diff/9750257, Special:Diff/9750263, Special:Diff/9750276, Special:Diff/9750289 (Somehow Category:Monarchs of Afghanistan was left alone, but Pakistani monarchs was removed as "anachronistic"), Special:Diff/9750295, there are still lots more, as they spent a significant amount of time removing my contributions. – Cyber.Eyes.2005Talk 14:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) Asteradeae, only admins should close RfD requests, even in keep cases. There isn't much harm in closing RfDs say when an admin has forgot to close it after quick deletion, but determining the consensus on RfD should be up to administrators to deal with.

The exact same is applied with warning vandals, some admins block on sight, others expect you to go through the warning cycle for each vandal after a block,

re: blanking

change

Point taken. In future, I will avoid it in cases where it's not strictly necessary. Even though it does technically apply here, it also got me into a big dispute with another editor, and ultimately it isn't worth unnecessary disputes just to follow that guideline. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 18:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ferien, It's unfortunately one of those policies that in cases like this suck for everyone,
When the user blanks their talkpage - the redwarn preview box for their talkpage is blank - so when you come to warn them again in 2 weeks/2 months time you have the impression that the user has never been warned and so anyone may start from Level 1 instead of from whatever warning they last received or final warning, that and I felt the user was only blanking to further disrupt the project,
Anyway I don't blame you personally as at the end of the day you were doing what policy says is fine and basically you were "doing your job" so to speak so I don't blame you or have any issue with you,
You're more than welcome to continue as as I said you were doing what is basically correct,
As I said the message left to you was honestly accidental - I wasn't happy sure but I then remembered BLANKING and felt it just wasn't worth complaining over,
In short you're good :), Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 20:51, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) Hello, Fr33kman ☺️ (and hello Davey ☺️)! Judging by the template and its documentation history, it was never a thing. They imported it here in 2018 and blanked it in the same year. According to the doc, it doesn't work here.

Kinda sad how they resorted to this template instead of protecting WikiData itself, which is useful to all Wikipedias, but I am a Wikidata lover, so… I am biased 😁 Jokes aside, it might have been a cache problem: it's quicker to clean up something on English Wikipedia than to wait for the description to purge itself. Also, enwiki has the most editors. I don't know how many editors Simple English Wikipedia and Wikidata have. Anyway, if you want to know the truth, you should ask the admin who commented it out, I am sure he remembers the actual reason. Have an amazing night, ciao ciao! ✨⭐️🌟💫 ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 20:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree it is a shame but I guess WikiData couldn't be protected because of the whole "IPs have to be allowed to edit" mantra, Exactly enwiki has a lot more editors so any vandalism there is instantly seen and reverted, Anyway thanks and you have a great day/night too, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I just thought I'd add one more note, that primary references are ok but need to be used with caution. w:en:WP:RSPRIMARY explains this well - in this instance we are just referring to a simple fact, that the product launched in 2014. Secondary references are preferable but for this it is fairly uncontroversial so not an issue here as that was the one easiest to find. Perhaps it could be replaced with a secondary reference when one can be located. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 18:27, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Vanguardngr is a notable newspaper in Nigeria Spaceteez (talk) 13:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Davey2010Talk 13:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
the vanguardngr was an interview with Damo K Spaceteez (talk) 13:36, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
https://www.thehistory.co.za/damo-k-damokillababy-biography-career-state-of-origin-songs-net-worth/
This article was created in accordance to Vanguardngr. So it should be a reliable source. Spaceteez (talk) 13:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Vanguardngr is an interview with "Bhadboi Turner" and it states and I quote “I’m just myself and I don’t copy anyone’s style. I’m working on a couple of projects and I’ve got to work with Seyi Vibes, Damo K, Tobless, Kennyblaze, Waskido Frosh, Surelyboi and many more and these are hit tracks to watch out for,” he gushed. (emphasis mine)
So the Vanguard source is an interview with a different person and simply mentions Damo K, Vanguard is a reliable source however it's a trivial mention so cannot be used, If it was an interview with Damo himself then it would be fine to use, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @41.210.155.75, Thanks for making me aware of it existing on the English Wikipedia, I did search on Google but there was nothing substantial and to be honest I only did a preview-search at enwiki but unbeknown to me "Kefas Brand" hasn't been created there so his article wouldn't show, (I was expecting his article to be under the same name at enwiki so didn't think to search his full name although had I actually searched for Kefas Brand his article would've come up), The one time I do a lazy preview-search and it comes back to bite me!, Anyway I've quickly deleted the RFD and have removed the RFD from the daily log, Thanks again, –Davey2010Talk 16:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion

Hi, Davey! I was looking at your userpage and noticed the User:Davey2010/Userbox/Olympics userbox. You see, the black background ends before the French flag does (at least on my PC screen res) and I can't see the closing ceremony because the Super Bowl userbox covers it as soon as the black border ends. If you remove height:845px; from the Olympics userbox, the black border should automatically hug (forgot the correct word lmfao) the userbox very nicely, thus solving the problem. I really hope this doesn't come off as annoying, but I am the most annoying perfectionist, so yeah :D ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 01:36, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you don't hate me already, you could also remove height:147px; from User:Davey2010/Userbox/LaurenMayberry and height:360px; from User:Davey2010/Userbox/Eurovision. Sadly, I have no way to test how your userpage will look after these three changes, but, if they work as I imagine, it will fix the overlap that's currently covering the bottom half of your userboxes.

@Asteralee, why? Davey2010 did the same thing on my talk page, and it's not against any rule. BZPN (talk) 13:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BZPN Templating the regulars aside, a citation is only absolutely necessary when there is material whose verifiability has been challenged, or material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged (en:Wikipedia:Verifiability). I doubt that filmographies are that contentious. It would be nice to have sources for the movies, but you really didn't need to throw the baby out with the bath water with this one by reverting the entire edit.
And to Davey, please tone down your edit summary. — *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 13:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Davey2010Sorry, I meant Fehufanga BZPN (talk) 14:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC), why are you quoting English Wikipedia? Our Wikipedia:Verifiability doesn't mention about such a thing, and it also says Verifiability is the key to becoming a reliable resource, so editors should cite credible sources so that their edits can be easily verified. The filmography may be questionable - following what you said, to check it, you need to, for example, look at the film's subtitles, and the films may not be available to everyone. The source of such information should be provided, as it is not obvious in any way. Have a nice day :). BZPN (talk) 13:50, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BZPN You're replying to the wrong person. WP:FOLLOW is a guideline in this wiki. If enwiki is doing it, then it's probably for a good reason since they've been doing it for two decades over now. If you think that filmographies have to be fully sourced, then your time is better spent by finding sources for these sections rather than deleting them outright. Liv_Morgan, Kevin_Spacey, Coen_brothers, etc. And what about the English Wikipedia? en:Coen_brothers#Filmography. It is unfair to make later editors dig for sources to check your work, particularly when the initial content is questionable. Are filmographies that contentious? No. Are claims of scientific discoveries contentious? Very likely. Are allegations about living people contentious? Definitely. — *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 13:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Fehufanga, WP:FOLLOW does not say that enwiki rules override local rules. We have WP:Verifiability here and we should stick to it. Moreover, there is no mention anywhere that information about the filmography is not controversial (this is your opinion, I think differently), just as there is no mention that the filmography is obvious information for everyone (which of course it is not, it is not 2+2=4). Also, if I understand correctly, the quote It is unfair to make later editors dig for sources to check your work, particularly when the initial content is questionable refers to the user whose talk page we are on, not to me - I withdrew information whose reliability and verifiability readers might have doubts about. BZPN (talk) 14:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BZPN Practices are policy. Our practice when we find unsourced content is to see whether the content is actually correct or not. Reverting at a sight of content without any actual effort is counterproductive. The steps at Wikipedia:Verifiability tells you how exactly to proceed with verifying the content. I don't think you need to follow exactly what it mentions, but at least some attempt to communicate or verify the content is necessary. This is clearly a case where you assumed bad faith from the start. I think Davey went a bit too far with the edit summary but I see a lot of error in the way you handled this situation.-- BRP ever 14:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • First off BZPN I apologise for calling you a moron, that was not okay. I like to expand articles and I've never once been reverted for copypasting so to see me being reverted felt like I can't be trusted or that the information I've added must be fake. In an ideal world yes they should be sourced but as Fehufanga correctly points out Could you really not have done this yourself if you had such a huge problem with it ?, If I spot someone adding unsourced content that I believe could be fake I'll do the research and source where necessary.
I appreciate the onus is on me to source the content but I'm simply copying what's deemed to be acceptable content on the English Wikipedia over so surely you should be telling them to source it ...
Sourcing individual entries takes a lot of time and effort and it's not a 5 minute job (If you check my EN userpage you'll see my expansion edits have all been to source filmography tables but I certainly don't see why those at EN should be down to me to do which is why I sort of stopped and just do it occasionally).
The time and effort you've spent reverting me and templating me could've been far better spent on sourcing that very filmogrpahy table that you have a problem with.... Nonetheless none of that excuses my comment to you so I apologise for that, I'll do better going forward. Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I understand that you want to expand the articles - that is also my goal. However, I believe that any non-obvious information should have a source. As you said, I could have added sources myself, but I didn't have time for it at the time - I decided it would be better to remove unsourced information so as not to cause doubts for readers, rather than leaving it for an indefinite period of time. I have nothing more to say. I have no problem with anyone - my goal is only to ensure the reilability of the information :). Best regards, BZPN (talk) 15:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
P.S. I have already added sources to this content, I hope it helps. Have a nice day! BZPN (talk) 15:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Exactly that's both our goals here - to expand and to give our readers knowledge, Thanks for sourcing but unfortunately IMDB can't be used as per en:WP:Citing Imdb - IMDB is user generated) (Sorry I didn't take any joy from removing them either but I cite Citing IMDB on EN so I can't just turn a blind eye here), Have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Filmweb is a relatively reliable source - although it is not scientific, it is not created by users/community. Filmweb acts as a news source written by the editorial staff (like other online newspapers). Users cannot edit Filmweb, except for the ability to write opinions (but separate from the content).

Oh okay thank you I didn't realise it was written by editorial staff, I thought it was user generated, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 16:29, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
