Disambiguation link notification for January 8
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sliders, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Western and Expected (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Maxcardun Replies.
Response: In my own defense, I want to say that I believe in what Wikipedia is doing. A Source of knowledge for everyone without ads and free to everyone.
I even donate when it asks and that is something I don't normally do for anyone.
I am not a seasoned editor of Wikipedia as much as others who go through the learning process. Perhaps I should have taken the offer to learn when it was presented. I joined because there are various people who vandalize this site, and people who want to spread misinformation through deliberate lies, (like writing when someone likes Rabid Rats) or lack of actual knowledge (Such as writing "The Zombie Sniffs" when zombies don't breathe). Recently another problem may be "A Bit too much knowledge" (Like this craze of putting Palpatines new first name into everything and that new name for "Goombas") and articles being written over dramatically.
This I do find irritating, perhaps too much so. I apologize for these so called recent "Disruptive Edits" and "Personal Attacks" however eventually someone else will vindicate what I cannot cite properly in this place anyhow. I'll keep these warnings on my page as a cautionary example to myself. But also as a message against misinformation, lies, vandalism, and people trying to use Wikipedia as a place to write some sort of "Poetic Novel".
In return as a favor to most of the experienced I will make it an exercise to use more patience, and to take notes about how to deal with matters like this through more proper channels.
Have a nice day.
- Hello @Maxcardun:! It is nice to see you own up for your errors yesterday. I do understand your feelings, but Wikipedia has policies that all changes must be made per community consensus and be reliably sourced. These policies were drawn up as quite a few users revert each other's edits rapidly to the version each one thinks is the best (known colloquially on Wikipedia as an edit war). You can read more about these policies at WP:3RR, WP:EDITWAR and WP: BATTLEGROUND. On a side note, I hope that you will respect these policies, as well as the other myriad policies of Wikipedia, and become a good editor! Have a good day! -- JavaHurricane 02:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Max Headroom pop culture reference
[edit]Hi! Thanks for adding the family matters pop culture reference. I just wanted to give you the tip that it's in danger of being deleted if you don't have a citation for an independent source that mentions the max headroom reference in that episode. Let me know if you need help finding that reference or citing it! BrightVamp (talk) 20:31, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
Well. I know that IMDB talks about it, and anyone who has seen that Iconic Episode of Family Matters would remember. But other than that sure, I could use some help.

His First Name Is Emperor
[edit]I would like to say that contemporary pop culture is exposing an uncomfortable fact that Humanity seems to be losing it's individuality and turning into one big decaying Mob. Modern writers and Producers who may have been yesterdays fan fiction writers are ruining franchises of old because of a lack of creativity.
They are also in the habit of killing off our old heroes, like Captain Steven Hiller, (Offscreen) Thomas J. Whitmore, Jasmine Dubrow, Kevin Flynn, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa, Most of whom the end was not dignified.
Also, we seem to be rolling over for every little ludicrous change out there they toss at us and we eat it because it seems to be candy coated to those who accept it.
A for instance is the giving of a first name to Emperor Palpatine a character who hasn't had a first name in the 36 years his character has been around. Old fans who are now looking like Occult Followers are spreading this name around like it's something sacred. (I will not write that name here) It is a name I will not accept short of seeing the real George Lucas on a video or in person exclaim that he actually allowed this name. Something that I seriously doubt he did as in the past he didn't even accept the character of Mara Jade.
I used to joke about how far the human race has dropped to accepting unhealthy things over time. Now in a show like Star Trek Picard and movies like "Joker" we are to now accept profane language which is an abuse of speech, and cold blooded murder? (Jurati would have been in the brig without question and cut off from the rest or Riker would have vaporized her in the 90's) (Arthur Fleck would have been in the gas chamber in the 50's, people worship him out there in memes like he's some kind of hero).
I would like to declare my own resolution to take that name OUT of places where it never was before short of unfortunately main biographies which I cannot change without citation. I will not let people make light of Murder, Drug Abuse, Incorrect Grammar, or treating one of the last reliable places like a YouTube Chatroom with Vandalizm and unreliable sources like Reddit, The National Enquirer, or other Gossip Columns that are only interested in tickling our ears with what we only want to hear like that lying "MIKE ZEROH" and that idiot "Emergency Awesome" on YouTube. (Wikipedia is not the Field of Dreams If you say it....it WON'T come).
It's time to stop rolling over like occult members or non sentient sheep. Something new needs to hit pop culture, because now... it's basically junk food for the brain.
That is the way this Editor see's it, and I'll fight it where I can.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Batwoman (TV series), did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — YoungForever(talk) 14:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
First off I just want to say that the Consensus for this particular complain looked a bit opposite to what was actually resolved. No one new to the talk pages on articles is going to see the "ARCHIVE" button and understand where a past conversation was. LaMonica Garret in my own personal opinion here shouldn't have got main billing for a contract where he would only appear in a vocal cameo in one episode, one cameo for each other show, before being in the Crossover Events only. At the least my edit should have been called a "Good Faith" Revert, not "Disruptive". Disruptive is putting chatroom phrases into an article like "Best Actor Ever" or "I Knew It" or "Not Good" or some other kid stuff. Since the user of this complain here refuses to take it down, then I shall respond in kind.

World War Z pictures
[edit]Those aren’t valid reasons to strip the article of pictures. Rusted AutoParts 16:47, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
What makes your Reason any better than mine? You actually removed two pictures of people who were actively in the film and give too much credit to a minimized extra and someone who was supposed to work on an aborted sequel. If not me it will be someone else and you can't fight all of us, especially someone who knows what they're doing better than I do. Maxcardun June 23 11:09 PM
- The pictures need to serve a function. The Fox picture explains the situation about his role being significantly reduced, and the Fincher one aids explaining him being the director of the now cancelled sequel. Rusted AutoParts 03:03, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
So what? You also removed the picture of Brad Pitt and Marc Forster the one actor who actually HAD a main starring role and the actual director of the film. If someone new looks at that Article and compares it to the movie they're going to expect that Parajumper to have a more prominent role in the film than the one he got. You also put him as a Starring role where he DOESN'T BELONG. As for David Fincher he's not going to work on anything since the sequel is ABORTED, and he didn't have anything to do with the film you were editing. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were looking for cheap reasons to get Brad Pitt and Marc Forster's picture off the article because you have some kind of biased hate for them, and think that your little nomination for "good article" would be improved if they were gone. That's not what Wikipedia is about, it's about truth, it's about facts, it's about relevance. Biased opinion, rumor, and attempting to use the site like it was the field of dreams, will just cause Chaos, potentially put ads on the site, and make this place as reliable as a tabloid gossip column. Matthew Fox role was reduced for a reason. In the old draft of the film his character was watching the Lane Family in return for "SEXUAL FAVORS" from Gerry's Wife. Still think they should have kept that in the final cut? Maxcardun June 25 7:17 AM
- Fincher has something to do with the Cancelled Sequel section as he was to be the director of the Cancelled Sequel. The Matthew Fox picture was used as his role in the film, regardless of the context of his role, was meant to be much more substantial and has generated a fair amount of reporting. The pictures of Pitt and Forster you keep harping about were included in too small a section to justify two pictures. You have extraordinary bad faith in the edits made and are being extremely hyperbolic. Rusted AutoParts 21:29, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Those are the key words, "cancelled" and "meant". Let me give you another key word "Didn't". Why don't you put the old two pictures into the cast section and put Matthew Fox photo into the production paragraph if you feel so passionate about it? Maybe switch the cast listing between him and the two young actresses who played the lane children? They have more of a prominent role than HE does. Maxcardun June 26 8:04 AM
Need Improvement
[edit]@I dream of horses: Hello Maam I could use some help in improving my editing skill.
When I first started I wanted to make small corrections to articles like spelling, or reverting obvious vandalizm. My desire for a grander scale of edits has been constantly fought against because of my lack of skill, lack of knowing the rules, and people who just seem to hold an article too personal.
Recently this guy put up Irrelevant photos onto a movie article and removed two relevant ones. I am not interested in getting into an Edit-War but this guy's edit should be reverted to a version before he started messing around.
Also I would like to know how to turn my User Link Blue instead of Red.
Maxcardun 06/24/2020 10:14 AM
- @Maxcardun: To turn your user link blue, you need to create a user page, probably with Template:User page. I can do that for you if you wish. IronManCap (talk) 21:19, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

My minor Bill and Ted edit
[edit]It has come to my attention that my Bill and Ted edit was undone. I don't understand how what I did was wrong. In the film, Ted is referred to as "Ted". why would it be "Ted 'Theodore' Logan" if he goes by Ted, not Theodore? His real name is Theodore. And he goes by Ted. I feel like, formatting wise, that "Theodore 'Ted' Logan" makes much more sense. I know this is minor, but I just believe it's what's right. LuigiMSS1 (talk) 04:03, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Back to the Future (franchise), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Please see WP:PROTAGONIST for more information. DonIago (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Subject material previously stated that Marty McFly was the "Main Character" of the Animated Series, which more heavily featured Doctor Brown. Marty from the 1980's was not even in all the stories, unless you count the appearances he made in the opening theme song of the show. At any rate I'll leave it alone as the "class distinction" on this site has clearly infected that franchise also. Maxcardun (talk) 15:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! Thanks for the attention you've been giving to the Rey page. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to make a few follow-up edits to your edits. I'll provide clear edit summaries. Please let me know if you find my edits acceptable. In the face of all the edit warring and arguing that happens on Wikipedia, I'm making it a priority to communicate respectfully at every stage of the editing process. I hope you have a great day 🙂 Wafflewombat (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- You're welcome, but rest assured, my attention to it is unneeded, though I might peek at what you've done with that and perhaps the Kylo Ren Page. If I see an Edit to anything especially a grammatical correction I needed I thank accordingly. Most articles these days need to be trimmed down in words, seeing as we're not writing novels here.

It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:11, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- How DARE you, try to cite me like some kind of official? How dare you tell me to find a reference for a paragraph that has been built in the first place with no references in it? I will not grace your talk page, it seems you have enough trouble in there, and you will most likely get more trouble without me. What I put down was not superfluous, it was true, and if you actually played that game you would know it!

Sass & Bias
[edit]@Sergecross73: May I be so humble as to ask you to look at the above Conversation from August, and get an advisement? I don't think that last jab there was appropriate, and it was more fitting of a YouTube of Facebook chatroom. Incidentally no one is reverting the Link To The Past article after someone reverted the "Story" subheading to reflect what I was arguing for at the start. No references found either, it must have been more commonly known than first imagined. Maxcardun (talk) 18:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- No, Soeterman's response wasn't good either. There wasn't anything wrong with his initial template message he started with, but the rest of the discussion is pretty bad after that. Sergecross73 msg me 18:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll accept that, you seem to be keeping an eye on him anyways. I've noticed he's called on you in times of trouble. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with that. On further investigation of my own, have you noticed a "serial" pattern in the way he edits? You and the group in the tea house may have to make up a new guideline thanks to him. Go into his Contributions and do a search on the word "Reverted" it pops up more than 300 times. Only loophole around that is that he's been clever about doing it 3 times on the same article mostly. He seems to be around solely to revert people. Maxcardun (talk) 13:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's a standard template to inform you that you didn't provide a reliable source. Your response, in my opinion, was a complete overreaction. I mean, your reply started off with "how DARE you" and said it once more. I wasn't going to take the time to properly reply to that. You're going to get some sass.
- Maxcardun, you are suggesting a new guideline based upon my editing? I'm flattered, but those reverts are either a) vandalism b) unconstructive editing or c) unsourced additions. How dare I do those things, how dare I? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, and you don't seem to be stopping the other guy who put down what I said in the first place back into that paragraph. Maxcardun (talk) 15:15, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I know Soetermans, I've crossed paths with him a lot over the years, as we both work on editing articles related to video games and music quite a bit. I also commonly encourage editors I cross paths with to ask me for Admin help as needed, as its much easier to identify things like vandalism if you're familiar with the subject. For example, I can very quickly understand that someone saying that Mario 64 was released on the PlayStation 2 is blatant vandalism and not a realistic belief for someone to have, while someone who doesn't know the video game industry may not know how silly of an assertion that would be.
- As far as the reverts go, whether or not its acceptable or not is very dependent on the context. Violating WP:3RR - basically, 4 reverts in rapid succession on the very same subject, it very not okay, while at the same time, reverting 100 times across 100 different articles may be very acceptable if it was bad information that needed removal. Soetermans has been warned about the times he's done the bad sort of reverting by various admin, so I believe its been addressed as well as it needs to be right now.
