- You questioned what was going on with this edit. It was made by a sock of User:Maelbros. Basically, if you see a French IP (mostly the Orange Orleans network right now) mucking around with the publishers/producers etc on a film, TV show/similar sort of thing or video game article, it's a Maelbros sock and should be reverted on sight, and then reported to AIV. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pokémon Red and Blue, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Midori. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

[edit]RE: Content dispute at Space Jam article
[edit]Hi. I see you've been around here long enough to know what WP:BRD is. Please follow it and engage with the discussion I've started at the article's talk page. Thank you. Piotr Jr. (talk) 07:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
According to this RSN thread, Screen Rant is indeed reliable enough and useful for non-bio articles. "Unamusing" is not a direct quote, but paraphrasing what the source says critics said, which is what they intimated with statements like "woefully devoid of laughs" and "pat" and "stale" and "barely has jokes". It's disturbing you're still taking issue with this particular content. Please use the talk page to sort out whatever content disputes you have in the future. Piotr Jr. (talk) 08:44, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add or change content, as you did at Space Jam: A New Legacy, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Please do not change sourced content. Wikipedia is based on what reliable sources say, not what editors believe to be true. Changing sourced content violates text–source integrity, and this source does not say anything about Warner Animation Group. It also says "Warner Bros. Entertainment" is a production company.

"Talnua" Cussler?
[edit]Appreciate your help on editing/condensing South Park: The Streaming Wars but I'm curious as to where you got Cussler's first name to be Talnua? I don't remember his first name ever being mentioned on the episode. - SanAnMan (talk) 19:23, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- That was the name I found on South Park Archives Fandom page. I figured they got their info from an official source, so I used it. If that isn't acceptable, I'll remove it right away. TheVHSArtist (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- @TheVHSArtist: -- Good call, any kind of fan page would definitely not be considered a WP:RS. - SanAnMan (talk) 20:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- @TheVHSArtist: -- So this one took some digging. Towards the end of the episode where Randy is looking at articles about Cussler and the water commissioner, he reads an article about Cussler's death, and in that article, there is a photo of him showing the name Talnua Cussler. I'll change the article back to your original edit with the first name. Appreciate your patience on this one. - SanAnMan (talk) 15:01, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, you may be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- I've already warned you before about this. Per WP:BURDEN, don't restore unsourced content. And, seriously, don't remove citations. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:23, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- The lead is supposed to summarize the article, and the edits made fail to do it. I learned that from User:Dimadick who edited the lead accordingly. the AFI source is good, but the other info has to be summarized. TheVHSArtist (talk) 12:28, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- You're seriously edit warring to remove citations and restore unsourced content? OK. I've requested that you be blocked at WP:ANI. Please respond there. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:30, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate the three-revert rule, as you did at South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Captain Cornwall (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Pokémon's lead
[edit]Hello TheVHSArtist. You just made some edits to the intro of Pokémon. I believe these changes decreased the quality of the text, because:
- You wrote that Pokémon is created by Satoshi Tajiri. It isn't. It is created by many different companies, based on an original idea by Tajiri;
- You took out the three main goals of Pokémon in the first paragraph: explore, collect, fight;
- In the second paragraph, you removed mentions of the cards and the manga. In particular the cards are a core part of the franchise;
- In the second paragraph, you removed the part about Pokémania ending in 2002. The paragraph now incorrectly implies that the global fad never stopped. But see: Pokémon#2001 – 2006: End of the craze, business reforms;
- You removed the sentence "Pokémon has an uncommon ownership structure". This is important to note, since almost all franchises are owned by a single company.
- Manifestation (talk) 19:44, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- These changes, in fact, highlighted the issues in the lead section to begin with
- 1. "It is created by many different companies, based on an original idea by Tajiri" So, by that logic, SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Nickelodeon, based on an original idea by Stephen Hillenburg. Companies don't create IP, people do.
- 2. You pointed out that almost all franchises are owned by a single company; indeed, there are several IPs are shared by multiple parties, which means that the "ownership structure" is not quite uncommon.
- 3. Parts of the lead were not supported by sources. Not only that, the lead is supposed to SUMMARIZE the article, not go into detail; articles have sections detailing specific events.
- 4. "The paragraph now incorrectly implies that the global fad never stopped." This could not be further from the truth. The franchise grew beyond the fad, and is now the biggest franchise in the world. Anyone who's invested in this franchise knows this. TheVHSArtist (talk) 22:44, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Looney Tunes logo 1985-present.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Gen 7-9
[edit]Why did you extend U.K to United Kingdom? I purposely wrote Europe and soccer to illustrate the connection between the games' mechanics and the particular type of sport there. "Dynamax" already has a considerably clean description. Similarly, Why do you need to replace "lack" with "unavailability"? The former already very clearly expresses the intended idea, and it is unnecessary to add "among other issues" because the sentence only focused on "Dexit." "Backlashes" flows better. The use of "triggering" makes more sense in the context. Again the part about Hisui flows perfectly fine, and the "mythical" also is supposed to be there. Road quests do not equal campaigns, and why did you remove the comparisons between open-world and partially open-world experiences? Wingwatchers (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- 1. The full name of the nation is always used when first mentioning it, I thought that much was clear
- 2. By definition, "prehistoric" means "before written records." Assuming the period Legends: Arceus is set in accurately reflects the Japan of the past, written records were very well in existence by this point.
- 3. Everything else just seemed superfluous. I thought one of WP's major rules was "less=more effective," or was I missing something?
- 4. I also edited some links because there was no reason to use piped links for certain titles. The Pokémon titles were fine because they are usually in pairs and how they'd be formatted in italics would not work without a piped link, but titles like BOtW do not need to be piped, you can use the italic or bold marks around the link, like so: ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''
- 5. Pokémon was spelled without the acute e many times, despite the title being rendered with it by this point.
- 6. There were points when it was italicized when it shouldn't be (e.g. it should be italicized when referring to the franchise, not when talking about the fictional species).
- 7. The title of the Pokémon Go article and all mention of the app in the Pokémon article doesn't render GO in all-caps, the Pokémon Go article only does so during the intro paragraph ("stylized as Pokémon GO").
Also, I noticed that Sun and Moon were mentioned in in the generation 4-6 section, which makes it seem like Sun and Moon are part of generation 6, when they started a new generation. But I couldn't think of a way to meaningfully edit it accordingly.
- Hopefully, I've fully explained everything. TheVHSArtist (talk) 22:36, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Of Course but U.K is a very notable country so it is not necessary to use the full name, and the source use U.K instead of United Kingdom because the former is just a more clear and clean approach. Prehistoric also means very old and I found that fits very well with the story's theme; perhaps it can be changed to "ancient." Wingwatchers (talk) 22:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Also they are not superfluous because they offer comparisons between previous games and a glimpse of the major innovations and changes which is very necessary. Less does not equal more effective in fact one of Wikipedia's key principles be comprehensive while removing only irrelevant and insignificant contents. The formatting is fine. Wingwatchers (talk) 22:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
