Daniel Craig

Why did you revert my improvements to Daniel Craig [1]? What is not neutral about what I added? Why do you consider wholesale reversion better than simply improving, or talking to me directly? And why do you have a picture of a hideously ugly woman on your user page? Korkotork (talk) 12:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I know you've been online since this message, yet you've not replied here. If you don't explain your revert, I'll assume you are happy for me to reinstate my change to the Daniel Craig article. Korkotork (talk) 18:18, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. M D Potter. Any comments? 17:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Well aware of that. ;) Nymf hideliho! 17:05, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I am not aware of an accessibility issue with 'rowspan'. It used to be the case that using it broke sortability of columns, but with the new release of MediaWiki software, it automatically populates cells with the correct data right before they are sorted. Are you aware of another accessibility issue that still prevents us from using rowspan? Elizium23 (talk) 05:34, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, several. It completely stumps screen readers. The tables also becomes intelligible on lower resolutions and when zoomed in (e.g. if you are visually impaired), and they are hard to edit for new users. I am at work now, but I'll dig up examples/screens later on. Nymf hideliho! 05:56, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

re: Jean Seberg FBI censorship

This was not poorly sourced. I would appreciate it if you put back the other version, because Ms. Seberg's harassment by the FBI was one of the triggers for the Church Commission investigations, and her Wikpedia page makes it appear she just had a bad-casea of nerves. The woman moved to Paris to be left-along and they bothered her there. Have you read anything about her?

Thanks 194.230.159.67 (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I cleaned it up, removed quotes, and it's 'tighter' now. The relationship of her treatment at FBI hands was a far bigger deal (so to speak) than the Wikipedia article put forth. In any event, those FBI memos are quite interesting, i.e. it shows the level of interest in the woman. It was sent from HQ to the Head Director of Los Angeles, coordinated out of San Francisco. And they used strong words. I've done reading on the case, and they didn't only publish these articles. They harassed the woman relentlessly, broke into her home often, (she claimed) she was blacklisted. And after her death there were many, many media reports about her treatment at FBI hands. The general consensuse was that her life was damanged irreparably by the FBI investigation, which had that stated purpose. Incidentally, the FBI has a track-record, to the present-day, of investigating people "to death" so to speak. Dr. Bruce Ivins, Richard Jewell. Mr. Jewell wound up being cleared and he didn't do-himself-in, but he sued the government and NBC-news for libel. This isn't the TV-image of the FBI, but it is, in fact, what they do, and have done in the past.

Mila Kunis article

I've been trying to improve the article based on the senior editors recommendations. I saw that you made one of the recent corrections and I was wondering if you could help me understand the other request. He has listed several corrections that need to be made to the ELs in the toolbox......is this just a reference to some deadlinks that need to be fixed, as I am working on those. Or is it more then that? I'm not clear on what else this is in reference to. Can you explain this to me so I can correct it. Thanks.Fsm83 (talk) 20:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Juandanikevin2012

Hi, Nymf, I've noticed that you've occasionally reverted this editor with a summary like this one. I've been having problems with the editor at the Jason Walker (musician) article. It would help if I understood why you think the editor is a sock or has been previously blocked or banned. Thanks much.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey. Check this out, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ItHysteria. It's a duck, but the technical evidence (e.g. the IP location) is inconclusive right now. Nymf hideliho! 17:53, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

ItHysteria

I'm a bit confused by your recent ItHysteria SPI cases. I've been blocking ItHysteria socks for years, and I wouldn't have chosen those as possibilities. Can you show me some blocked socks that match your behavioural pattern? I think that we must have crossed up some cases and it will probably help us make progress if we can get untangled.—Kww(talk) 02:37, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

OK, looks like I screwed up in the past or MuZeMike's suggestion that he has moved is correct. I'll dig into this deeper and see if I can come to some kind of resolution.—Kww(talk) 10:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Gossip Girl

Hi Nymf! As you may have noticed, user Bananas Monkey has changed the name of the article about Gossip Girl by Gossip Girl (TV series) and created a disambiguation page. My question is, should we let it that way or rename the page as before and ask for the deletion of the disambiguation page? I'm asking that because there was a previous consensus on naming Gossip Girl (the series) as Gossip Girl only... See here: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gossip_Girl&oldid=402599906#Redirect_to_TV_series --Sofffie7 (talk) 18:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Been really busy in real life. Consensus says that the TV series should be at Gossip Girl, and creating a DAB at Gossip Girl is completely unnecessary, so I'll try to restore it like it were previously if it will let me. Nymf hideliho! 18:30, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Natalie Portman

ok so I figured this would be easier instead of going back and forth ;) ok so I won't disagree on the infobox thing, but the filmography is better than the way it used to be. I dont know if it's your version or what but I have noticed that even if you use 'rowspan', if you put 'sortable' at the beginning of the table, it still makes the table sortable, plus some of the film projects she's doing aren't on there and there is one that shouldn't be on there. PLUS the awards and nominations, maybe I'm sensitive cause it took me forever to that lol but the way it is now is hard to read and navigate. The way I had it made it easier to see, plus it separated the awards from the nominations. I know in manual of styles for tables it has "won" and "nom" next to it, but I dont see the point if the categories are separate. Any compromise at all towards the tables? They are cleaned up and just looked better I think and they are still within guidelines. Let me know :) xx Xpinkxcasualtyx (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I get what you're saying totally, but the way that the tables are that if you put 'sortable' under the class, you can still use rowspan and have them separated and grouped together then if you hit the top row where it says "year" or "role", it will automatically make each row individual as if having it like it is in the 'christian bale' example you sent me. so it's the best of both worlds ;) is there still an issue if it works all the same? xx Xpinkxcasualtyx (talk) 18:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

I was recently accused of be a sock of excuseme99. I went through some of their edits and noticed that you reverted Julie Christie. They seemed like good edits by the sock though. Is there a reason why you reverted them? I will bring it up on the talk page there as well.--Canoe1967 (talk) 13:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Do not revert the facts in this article. Facts are not good hope.--Cruks (talk) 11:21, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

The Vampire Diaries characters

Why we don't have separate articles for Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore? I don't know why but someone (maybe you) extirpated those pages without a clear reason and if you were that person let me know why you did it. Keivan.fTalk 08:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll wait to see what your answer is. Keivan.fTalk 18:18, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, been very busy. I am not the one who did it originally, but my redirects have been based on notability and the fact that the person trying to restore them is the sock of a blocked user. The user also has a history of adding copyrighted text (I believe the user has a very low understanding of English), so I do not trust anything added by that user that is more than one sentence. Nymf hideliho! 18:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
OK! But it is really bad, because unlike the other movies or TV series, we don't have separate articles for main characters. Also if someone create an article for one of them it'll be removed and deleted. So what should we do? Keivan.fTalk 13:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Another sock, maybe?

[2] What do you think, another Motaros? I wasn't sure at first, it's not unreasonable for someone to start editing a bunch of articles about Swedish death metal bands, but then I saw this and this, another 2 edits for acronyms. Also, another MMA fighter edit. Additionally, checks of the edit histories for the articles User:Ingardot has edited include some variation of Motaros (October010 and M4pnt for the most part, including several articles M4pnt created). Not to mention the constant asking me of questions on my talk page. The more I look at the edit history, I think "quack!".

So do you think there's enough here to go to SPI again? MrMoustacheMM (talk) 21:12, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Hi. I see you have reverted Status' and mine edit on Christian Bale. As well known actor he has more than actually forty films and can have its own filmography. Filmographies on Wikipedia exist, see for example Brad Pitt filmography, Jennifer Lopez filmography and Gene Kelly filmography. I don't see the reason for your revert. Cheers!— Tomica (talk) 19:26, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. They do, and neither of those would really need to be split off either. The Brad Pitt and Gene Kelly filmographies do fit within the guidelines, though.

Deleting content on my Talk Page.

Do you care to explain this? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:37, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Yep. It's the sock of a banned user, so I reverted its edits. One of them happened to be on your talk page. Nymf hideliho! 21:39, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Another happened to be on the Chael Sonnen page (a perfectly legit one, too). I ask that you use discretion in the future instead of blind mass reverting. Banned users can make good edits, as well. You are punishing the articles more than the user with this method, though your intentions are probably good. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
There are probably more "legit" (I use quotes since it is a banned user) edits, but the problems that comes with this user by far outweighs the benefits of those particular edits. By leaving edits up, we encourage the user to keep socking. You can also see WP:BAN#Edits by and on behalf of banned editors for the WP policy on this. Nymf hideliho! 21:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Is Twitter automatically an unreliable source?

Is Twitter automatically an unreliable source that can never be used, or does it depend on who the Twitter-owner (source) is? A website (fan-based) tweet is automatically and always considered unreliable? If not automatically unreliable, how do you distinguish between reliable and unreliable information posted on Twitter? I've seen tweets used as references numerous times by people in the same industry (ex, performing arts) who might be correct on what they impart to their followers about someone else, but they could also be wrong. What level of higher-ups in any business or industry is needed to be considered reliable enough for a tweet to be allowed as a valid reference? Thanks. Blood Ties release date June 13, 2013 --Katydidit (talk) 15:32, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

It depends on the Twitter account and what is being sourced. WP:TWITTER covers it rather well. In short, if there is a confirmed Twitter account, we are allowed to use tweets to source information about the subject in question, as long as it only involves that person, is not self-serving or an exceptional claim. The Mila Kunis Twitter account is run by a fan, and is not more reliable than, for example, anything that you or I may claim. See the Demi Moore article here for an example where it may be appropriate to use sources from social networking sites. Nymf hideliho! 20:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Grace of Monaco is currently a redirect to Grace Kelly. Perhaps we should consider using that name for the actual film article, or at least a disambiguation page now that the term is ambiguously referring to either Grace herself or the film? Elizium23 (talk) 19:53, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

infobox

there has been a recent debate on listing all children in the infobox instead of listing how many they have if they aren't notable. I saw your comment on the infobox template talk page about it and was wondering if there is an official rule or guideline where it says so. I edited a page recently to put "5" instead of all the non-notable children listed and was very much reverted by editors who thought all of the kids should be listed in infobox. I directed them to the part in the infobox where it says "only notable" but they didn't really think that was enough to undo it. Any advice? Lady Lotus (talk) 15:19, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Nymph! I see you undid my changes I had added to the Nic Cage and his sister's page. I feel the page has wrongly been added to deletion as I had provided a source that referenced her, more than once. I plan on providing a more official source as soon as one comes available, so if you could, I ask you to undo the decision you made to signal the wiki for deletion. As I am affiliated with Baggott's eldest son, most of the research is original, but as he has a relatively close relationship with J. Levin, it is possible for some sort of interview to be set up. When proposed to this, Cage explained he was very busy lately due to an unnamed project, but would inform his chosen press releasers of the information.

Good faith edit on Info box in Drew Barrymore's article

I noticed that you reverted my good faith edit on Drew Barrymore's marriage to Jeremy Thomas. I changed it from "1994" to "1994-1994" and you put it back to "1994." Take a walk over to Robert Walker (actor), and you will see that his marriage to Barbara Ford is shown as "1948-1948." I'm very careful with my edits, because I don't like to be overruled. We all make a mistake once in a while, but I think that "1994-1994" for Jeremy Thomas is OK. By the way, is that you in the picture?

(talk page stalker) None of those are reliable sources. Please immediately read WP:RS. Reliable sources are always needed, but are especially needed for information about contentious topics like ethnicity. If you do not desist, you are going to end up being blocked, Anthony.al.

Anthony.al left a complaint about your edits on my talk page and several others. I looked into it and you seem to have justified all your edits. The only thing I'd suggest is to make the explanations more full, remembering WP:DONTBITE, either by linking ([[MOS:BIO]] rather than MOS:BIO) or more words (e.g. "not really, background too dark" rather than just "not really" [3]). – Fayenatic London 10:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the message. I would be more than happy to further explain the policies/guidelines to the user, but judging from how the user have been edit warring as Albanianp, Anthony.al, 88.72.229.34 and 88.72.245.145 to push that Albanian POV (using eloquent edit summaries such as "NEVER !!!!!!!!"), I believe the user is little interested in policies/guidelines, and would rather that the articles reflect what he wants them to reflect. I count 11 Albanian related reverts in the Jim Belushi article alone. I did elaborate on some Belushi related edits at the talk page of Orangemike, but that's it. Cheers.

Category:LGBT Scientists

First off, the page contents are different, which disqualifies it from the letter of the law. It's also not in line with the spirit of G4, which is to prevent people from reposting deleted content: this was clearly created in a good-faith attempt to narrow some other categories. With other namespaces, we don't delete a page with a deleted name when the contents are different, so it's not a good idea to apply a different standard to categories — especially because categories work differently from other pages. If several-year-old CFDs were to prevent the existence of a category under that name ever again, we could easily end up with categories being bound by 20-year-old CFDs ten years from now. It's much better to leave it alone or to take it to CFD again. Nyttend (talk) 18:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I know by viewing deleted revisions, which is possible for me because I'm an admin. Aside from CFD-related text (e.g. the deletion template), the entire contents of the pre-deletion page were:

Right now, the existence of this page makes complete sense as an intersection of its parent categories (if we categorise LGBT people in other occupations, it doesn't seem to make sense not to categorise LGBT scientists as such), and your argument makes me think that you disagree with categorising people this way in general. Rather than taking this to CFD, I'd suggest that you raise a discussion about whether people should be categorised this way, since if we just get rid of this category, someone else will recreate it as a way of shrinking some over-large categories.

My page

You nominated my page for The Most Popular Girls in School, for literally no reason. On it's talk page, I mentioned that the creators noticed what I done and had even sent me Facebook messages as well as answered my ask on Tumblr saying they appreciated what I had done for the series, and I also mentioned I made the page not as a trolling effort or not in a malicious way to disturb the peace that is Wikipedia, but I added it because the show is growing in popularity, and at some point someone was going to create it and I wanted it to be me. I did my research, I listed my references and sources, and yet the page was deleted, and now it has been deleted twice. What is wrong with you? Why NOMINATE my page when you could help it by pointing out to me my errors, oh and don't forget I'm new to writing on this site so I don't know fully what I'm doing just yet, but I just wanted to add a page for the series because I've seen YouTube videos, that are literally seconds long, that have pages longer than some historical events. And you're telling me this web series can't have a page? Please explain yourself because I am quite confused. Matt723star —Preceding undated comment added 00:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

In short, there is no notability established. You had zero reliable sources. (See the blue links that I just linked.) If you ask an administrator, they could probably restore the article in your user space, but it has to remain there until it satisfies the previous two guidelines.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Hi, I just wanted to explain my additions to her page... her upcoming film, "Man Under" (not "Man Down"), starts production next month (March 2013) in NYC. Requests for extras and info on production went out last week. The script for "Man Under" has been reviewed, thus the character names are known. Also, while the film shoots next month (directed by Tim Robbins), we don't have an estimated release date. It could be released this year or in 2014, thus the '?' in the filmography grid. The Hollywood Reporter put out the news that the film has picked up a distributor. As you can probably deduce, I'm a big fan of Michelle's. ;) BTW, IMDB.com also has an entry for "Man Under." Everything is now in place. The film is ready to go, so it's not being 'predicted' in any way, shape, or form. Partyclams (talk) 21:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Accessibility

You undid a slew of table format changes that had recently been introduced by another editor, with the rather cryptic edit summary WP:Accessibility. Can you please indicate what part of WP:Accessibility was being violated by having row-spanning table elements? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:19, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

It is all outlined at WP:FILMOGRAPHY and User:RexxS/Accessibility. In short: avoid rowspan, as it is a major accessibility issue. Nymf talk to me 19:24, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm not sure I'd undo another editor's work based on a userpage essay without at least opening a discussion with the other editor over the issue, or at least providing a link to the actual page that address the issue. A better, more detailed edit summary would have helped. A discussion prior to undoing would have helped more. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:40, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

My page

Listen, I'd like to apologize for when I was dumb trying to make that TMPGiS page, when I moved it constantly even though I didn't have references and stuff. I was a wiki n00b and I didn't have a clue what I was doing, I just thought you made a page, then moved it to be an article, and that was that. But now that I know you're supposed to leave it in your sandbox, get references for it, and edit it for a time, I've been doing that. I think it's better than ever (even though I can't add a picture to it just yet), but I need your advice on it, and I need to know when it could potentially be made into a legitimate page. I just need help with some of the glitches the references have, for some reason they show up as red links. Could you look at my sandbox and help out or just let me know if it's of any good? Thanks! --Matt723star (talk) 16:32, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you once again for nominating my page for deletion. You know, in the past I was very abrasive in creating the page for The Most Popular Girls in School, I didn't follow the rules and I decided to take it upon myself to move it without the knowledge of what could happen, and it happened 3 times. That's when i decided to take it maturely, and submit it for creation. I waited about 3 or so weeks and finally yesterday it got created, and I was extremely happy that finally I had my own legitimate page here, and I edited a few words this morning to my satisfaction. And then, I get nominated for deletion, again, but this time it's unjust, because this time I followed the rules, and for NO REASON WHAT SO EVER, my page that I've spend longer than a month on perfecting get's deleted, deleted before anyone could consider my contestment which I wrote on the talk page. So thank you Nymf, thank you for ripping the happiness I had yesterday about my page right out of my hand, like you've done in the past. I could understand before why you did it, but this time there was literally no reason, and you can tell me all you want "guidelines this and that" even though I followed them completely. Thank you. I'll be sure to never try writing a page ever again, if it means people like you will delete it for no just other than the fact that it's about a web series. Thanks. --Matt723star (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

You should follow the advice that people left on your talk page. Nymf talk to me 15:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect tag?

This edit confuses me, since the uploader isn't blocked, and I don't see evidence that he's a sock of someone who is blocked. Did you perhaps mean to tag it under some other criterion? Nyttend (talk) 18:25, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

The mentality of an IP is that if they feel they're right, they'll keep coming in and forcing their view on everyone. Then other IP's will come in to support.

If you believe that User:Rachel Berry12 is a sock of User:Nika1234 - and I can understand why you do - perhaps you should file a report at WP:SPI. I'm almost prepared to block the Rachel account based on WP:DUCK, but there's been an almost two-month space between the two accounts, and a CU, if endorsed, might nail it.

Amber Heard

Hi, I would say that when a relationship has been rumoured ceaselessly for two years to the point where most major publications just report it as fact and moreover pictures of the two people going out hand-in-hand abound and the dude buys the girl a ranch and two frickin' horses, it really is a rumour in name only. As for the fact that rumours don't belong on Wikipedia....um, sure they do, as long as they are clearly labeled as such and source appropriately. Happy Evil Dude (talk) 17:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Michelle Pfeiffer

Please don't revert changes to Michelle Pfeiffer's entry claiming unreliability, which would be subjective. If this is in regards to Pfeiffer's ethnicity, she is indeed Swiss-Italian. Her mother's maiden name, Taverna is Italian, which lends more credence to the documentation. If you have a source that details another type of Swiss for her (French, German), by all means add it.

Johnny Depp Filmography

Hello, I'd like to ask why you removed Pirates of the Caribbean 5 from his filmography. I understand you justified by 'crystal balling' but that leaves me then wondering why Transendence or The Lone Ranger weren't removed - all three of them have Johnny confirmed to be in and are in the future.

Description for Scarlett Johansson image

Hey, Nymf. After I made this revert at the Scarlett Johansson article, I was compelled to click on File:Scarlett Johansson in Kuwait 01b-tweaked.jpg; it states that you are the uploader of it. Its description also states that Johansson was age 23 at the time the picture was taken, and the date given for it is 2010, but I see that her Wikipedia article states that she is age 28 this year. As you can see, the 2010 age doesn't add up to present day. Did someone get the date you uploaded the picture, which was in 2010, confused with the date the image was taken and therefore list the former date in the caption? Or did you simply get the age wrong? Flyer22 (talk) 21:29, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Oops, now I see the original image: File:Scarlett Johansson in Kuwait 01b.jpg; the description says the picture was taken in 2008, which of course adds up to the present day. Flyer22 (talk) 21:34, 25 June 2013‎ (UTC)

Black Swan

It was already in at least two other LGBT-related film categories before I ever touched it. So either it leaves all of them or it stays in all of them — as long as the ones that were already there are still there, the ones I added just now do not merit reversion. Bearcat (talk) 07:29, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Whether you like it or not, "LGBT-related" is the longstanding consensus — which I actually opposed for the same reason that you seem to, but that's neither here nor there, because consensus trumps personal misgivings — established by the community for how LGBT film categories are to be named. And I didn't apply any subjective selection criteria to the process — all I did was to add the genre and decade categories to films that were already in one or more LGBT-related film categories but hadn't been added to the genre and decade categories yet. So you're certainly free to have doubts about the inclusion criteria if you wish — but that's got nothing to do with me, because the films were already being categorized as LGBT. So if you have an issue with describing them that way, then track the article history and take it up with whoever originally added the existing LGBT-related categories, not with me. And exactly what is your "now I remember who you are" supposed to mean? It frankly sounds accusatory, like "who I am" is a bad thing. Bearcat (talk) 17:03, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

July 2013 - undid contributions

Dear Nymf, hopefully I am doing the talk thing correctly. I'll admit Wiki-naivety may have played a role in my mistake on execution.

It was not my intention contravene Wikipedia policy. Knowing the effort that the source put into researching celebrity weddings and uncovering details that many others do not, in addition to a number of rare/exclusive photos, it was my thought that it would be of public interest to link those. I am sure IMDB consider themselves as a fantastic primary source for movies I thought to share the same about Celebrity Weddings.

I do think dedicated contributors like yourself do a sterling job, and would like for the contributions I had made to be re-instated however I will defer to your judgement. Sumobaby talk to me —Preceding undated comment added 12:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy delete of cats created by RafikiSykes and socks thereof

Hi, re your WP:CSD#G5 noms of a large number of categories - is a bot going to be tasked with depopulating the categories? Or should we amend each page manually, so as to put the pages into equivalent cats that are not up for deletion? --Redrose64 (talk) 16:11, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

If there is a bot available that could depopulate each category and move the articles to a relevant category of choosing, that would be great. If not, I will help depopulate each category manually. Nymf (talk) 16:17, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
All these categories you have nominated were created about October 2012. WP:CSD#G5 says "To qualify, the edit must have been made while the user was actually banned. A page created before the ban does not qualify." It is not used to delete retrospectively all of a user's contributions. User RafikiSykes (talk · contribs), who you have named as the sockmaster, was not blocked until February 2013, and MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk · contribs), who created those I have checked, not until December 2012. Do you have any evidence that, under any name, this author was blocked before these articles were created? If not, they are not speediable. JohnCD (talk) 20:20, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
User:Nirame is the actual sockmaster. It was just not discovered until much later, hence the confusion. So yes, they were made while under sanctions. Nymf (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Which means that, technically, everything by RafikiSykes from 23 June 2011 and onward could be speedied as well. Nymf (talk) 20:34, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Ah, OK. Probably better to hold off zapping them all until there is a plan for what to do about depopulating them? JohnCD (talk) 21:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

The problem is that administrators have started acting on the nominations and deleting the categories without repopulating the articles into appropriate parent categories. Perhaps you could remove the nomination tags until we have a mechanism for dealing with this without losing a huge amount of categorisation information? Also, some of the categories nominated definitely ought to exist, for example the by-country subcats of Category:Gay villages (which I have now re-created). htonl (talk) 23:38, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

RafikiSykes is now running around as Special:Contributions/87.112.18.233 and Special:Contributions/87.114.11.81, blanking the templates. I know this is the case, because he outed himself a year ago at Wikipedia:Categorization/Noticeboard#Apparent unnecessary sub-categories, and this is the same IP range/ISP/IP location. Nymf (talk) 15:22, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
If you want to make suggestions as to how the category should be changed then what not add that to the bottom of the speedy? Then we can use WP:AWB to substitute one category for another (AWB will make a list of pages to edit from a category name and do a search and replace). Others should note that anyone can remove a speedy if they object and feel its necessary to keep (only the creator may not remove it).  Ronhjones  (Talk) 15:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Only list when notable

I saw in this edit that you removed the names of parents and children from a {{Infobox person}} because they are not independently notable. That condition is not listed on the documentation page. It does say for children, "For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless the children are independently notable." bit 1. that is only a suggestion, and 2. only for children, not for parents. Please explain here, I am watching your talk. Debresser (talk) 17:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Can you tell me why IMDb is not a reliable name source? 192.115.235.2 (talk) 10:48, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:IMDB/RS for the rationale. In short: IMDB is user-generated content that anyone can change, and as a result is inherently unreliable. Nymf (talk) 11:13, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

And in your previous edit, you have broken another reference (which you then removed) whose URL an anonymous editor has previous fixed.

Aaron Paul

Hi Nymf, you recently reverted my edits on Aaron Paul; the reason you gave for doing so made me think of a question I hope you can answer. What would the term be, if not "stage name", for the name used by an entertainer who does not use their birth name? Every other article I've seen where an entertainer uses their middle name as their surname, without legally dropping any part of their birth name, is formatted the way I tried to format Paul's intro paragraph. So I wanted to know if there's a term I should be using, because I don't think his birth name should be the only one mentioned in the intro when he doesn't use it professionally. Also, I think you could help me with something that's been bugging me for a while; why was his stage name given as Aaron Michael Paul before I edited it out, with no explanation as to where "Michael" came from? It's obviously not part of his birth name and I've never seen him credited as Aaron Michael Paul. Just something I've been trying to figure out for a while.
