You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2011. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Justin Bieber, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Justin Bieber was changed by Plarem (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.915454 on 2011-05-28T18:07:20+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 18:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Assesment as GA

You appear to have changed a number of assessments to GA. This should not be done unless an article meets the good article criteria and has been through the nomination process. Could you please discuss at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European Union before making any more such assessments? --Boson (talk) 15:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

GA review of Music of Nier

Hi, thanks for attempting to review Music of Nier for GA. In the future, however, if you are going to do a review you need to actually review the article- saying that it "needs more references" and "needs more subdivisions" is not a review, especially given that everything in the article is cited to something and the content is divided up just like 20 other GA video game music articles. I'd suggest that before you do any more reviews that you read and understand Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles and Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not; for now I've reinstated the article at GAN. --Pres N 21:41, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Going off the above, I ask that you stop doing GA reviews for now and actually read through the criteria at WP:WIAGA. In your reviews, you chastise articles for only one image, when quantity of images is mostly irrelevant to GA as long as they're licensed right, and in fact too many unfree ones is a problem. Saying an article "needs more content" without providing specifics doesn't help at all either. If more content is needed, at what spots, for example? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 22:01, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I will stop reviewing articles for a while and read WP:WIAGA. I am sorry if I caused any inconvenience.

WikiCup 2011 July newsletter

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:

Casliber (submissions), Pool A's winner. Casliber has the highest total score in the competition, with 1528, the bulk of which is made up of 8 featured articles. He has the highest number of total featured articles (8, 1 of which was eligible for double points) and total did you knows (72) of any finalist. Casliber writes mostly on biology, including ornithology, botany and mycology.
PresN (submissions), Pool B's winner and the highest scorer this round. PresN is the only finalist who has scored featured topic points, and he has gathered an impressive 330, but most of his points come from his 4 featured articles, one of which scored double. PresN writes mostly on video games and the Hugo Awards.
Hurricanehink (submissions), Pool A's runner-up. Hurricanehink's points are mostly from his 30 good articles, more than any other finalist, and he is also the only finalist to score good topic points. Hurricanehink, as his name suggests, writes mostly on meteorology.
Wizardman (submissions), Pool B's runner-up. Wizardman has completed 86 good article reviews, more than any other finalist, but most of his points come from his 2 featured articles. Wizardman writes mostly on American sport, especially baseball.
Miyagawa (submissions), the "fastest loser" (Pool A). Miyagawa has written 3 featured lists, one of which was awarded double points, more than any other finalist, but he was awarded points mostly for his 68 did you knows. Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, including dogs, military history and sport.
Resolute (submissions), the second "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Resolute's points come from his 9 good articles. He writes mostly on Canadian topics, including ice hockey.
Yellow Evan (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool A). Most of Evan's points come from his 10 good articles, and he writes mostly on meteorology.
Sp33dyphil (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Phil's points come from his 9 good articles, 4 of which (more than any other finalist) were eligible for double points. He writes mostly on aeronautics.

We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, Another Believer (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Grandiose (submissions), Stone (submissions), Eisfbnore (submissions), Canada Hky (submissions) and MuZemike (submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.

In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.

A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Inexperienced reviewer needs monitoring and mentoring

Hi Plarem , I'd like to draw your attention to Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Inexperienced reviewer needs monitoring and mentoring, which refers to you by name.

I don't have the time now to re-review all your reviews, but some of them appear to be inadequate (and someone else may re-review them). You may well have failed articles that deserved to be failed and passed articles that deserved to be passed, but the associated reviews are, I'm sorry to say, barely adequate; and in one case none existent.
In at least one review (Talk:Xiaxue/GA2) you state that an article is Start class and that it needs to go through C-class and B-class before it can be submitted to WP:GAN. It might be Start-class, but the rest of the statement is not true: it is not a requirement of WP:WIAGA, so as a GAN reviewer you should not be making such claims.
In Talk:Xiaxue/GA2 you write "There are enough references to the amount of content, the sources are Ok and this contains no original reasearch." (there is a spelling mistake); and in Talk:Finnish parliamentary election, 2011/GA2 you wrote "There are enough references, all of them to reliable sources and as far as I can see, the article contains no original research.". The requirement in WP:WIAGA is Factually accurate and verifiable and that means that you have to verify them during the review. Perhaps you did verify them, but nowhere in your assessment do you state that you have verified them, you merely state: "There are enough references, all of them to reliable sources and as far as I can see ...". Did you simply count them, the "all of them to reliable sources and as far as I can see" statement of yours gives some doubt as to whether you checked them or not against the statements in the article.
In Talk:Spanish Civil War/GA1 you appear to withhold GA until a "display problem" is taken to WP:VPT. This does not in anyway appear to be a requirement of WP:WIAGA.
You awarded Indian Head gold pieces GA-status without doing a review.
You've nominated European Central Bank at WP:GAN. I've not reviewed it in any depth, but it has a {{citation needed}} as well as a {{not in citation given}} flag and they were already present when you nominated it. For someone doing GAN reviews to submit an article to GAN in that state is worrying - and I could "quick fail" the nomination so that would appear in the article history as a "fail" (I won't).

The problem now is that you are upsetting nominators by your reviews; and you have (this is the third one) three sections on your talkpage about inadequate GAN reviews. You are also inventing requirements that are not in WP:WIAGA. In the worst case, some of those GAN reviews could be referred back to WP:GAR and overturned; they could also be referred back to WP:GAR and the decision upheld, but your reviews shown to be inadequate. I think they are and I've done over 400 GAN reviews: if you don't believe me I know someone who has done over 500 GAN reviews and I'm sure his comments will be similar to mine. I don't have time in what is left of September to provide any more advice.

I would suggest, strongly, that you stop doing any more reviews until European Central Bank has been reviewed by a competent reviewer. Whilst your intentions are well intended, you don't seem to have adequate competence yet to be doing GAN reviews on your own. Pyrotec (talk) 15:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree with most of the concerns raised by Pyrotec above, but I disagree with his suggestion that you stop doing GA reviews. Instead, I would suggest that for all future reviews, you request a second opinion (stating that you are a new reviewer) and do not close the nomination until an experienced reviewer has offered a second opinion. Please seek a mentor (who could handle your requests for second opinions), read the guide to GA reviewing and read reviews of other articles (conducted by experienced reviewers). Doing so would enable you learn how to review well and contribute better, without upsetting nominators or compromising the quality of reviews. Thanks for reviewing Xiaxue and Pathlight School - would you like to write several GAs as well (I have written seven)? --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:09, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Well I would like to write some Featured Lists. I have written 3 lists, with 1 still working on... See my user page for more details. I have nominated the 2000s European sovereign debt crisis timeline for FL criteria. And I am sorry if I have caused inconvenience. – Plarem ^{(User talk contribs)} 14:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Plarem. Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to discourage you from contributing to wikipedia my aim is to try and minimise controversy at WP:GAN. You have one open review at Talk:Sarajevo/GA1, for which you are the reviewer, so J.L.W.S. The Special One's suggestions above offers a good way forward for that review. I've also provided a detailed second opinion at Talk:Schengen Area/GA1, where you are the nominator, but I'm dropping out of wikipedia until October: that article is very close to being a GA but some corrective actions are needed, so I'm not going to make a decision - that is for the lead reviewer. The requirements for deciding whether to award GA-status, or not, are given at WP:WIAGA. Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not is not a requirement, it is an essay. If you object to the reviewer's decision (should it be failed - I don't believe that it will) you can submit the article to WP:GAR, but it will be reviewed against the requirements of WP:WIAGA not Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not. Pyrotec (talk) 10:40, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Citation needed tags in Dylan and Cole Sprouse

Hi. I've been working on improving this article, but I'm not sure what needs citation on the following two sentences:

1. "The twosome first appeared in a commercial for toilet paper switching on-screen time every few seconds. ^{[citation needed]}"

What part of this needs citing? Is it the type of commercial? Or the fact that they switched every few seconds (which is part of California's child labor laws for entertainment)?

2. "They later appeared in several television sitcoms and starred in the straight-to-DVD family films, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus and Just for Kicks. ^{[citation needed]}"

Why does this need citation? They're main cast members in both movies. Am I supposed to cite the movies?

Just thought I'd ask, since the reasons for the tags were unclear. :) - Purplewowies (talk) 02:35, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

As per number 1 the ^{[citation needed]} tag is to cite that they WERE in that commercial. And number 2 is there by accident I'll remove it.

WikiCup 2011 September newsletter

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by Miyagawa (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.

If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

I've made a few additional changes: copy edited and expanded the lead, reorganized a few sentences in the Background and History sections. If you are OK with these changes, then I'm ready to give GA status. Please let me know, Thanks!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

They are fine, made one minor spelling mistake fix and I never wouldv'e thought of putting the amount of cirulating fifty euro notes in the lede! – Plarem ^{(User talk contribs)} 15:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, we are done. Congratulations! :-) -- — Keithbob • Talk • 18:24, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!

Katarighe has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!

If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

WikiCup 2011 October newsletter

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is Hurricanehink (submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009) and Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

The Featured Article Award: Casliber (submissions), for his performance in round 2. Hurricanehink (submissions) matched the score, but Casliber won the tiebreaker.
The Good Article Award: Yellow Evan (submissions), for his performance in round 4.
The Featured List Award: Miyagawa (submissions), for his performance in round 4. PresN (submissions) matched the score, but Miyagawa won the tiebreaker.
The Recognised Topic Award (for good and featured topics): PresN (submissions), for his performance in round 3.
The Did You Know Award: The Bushranger (submissions), for his performance in round 1.
The In the News Award: Candlewicke (submissions), for his performance in round 1.
The Reviewer Award (for good article reviews): Wizardman (submissions), for his performance in round 3.

No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.

Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!
