March 2023

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to URL encoding. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. – The Grid (talk) 03:12, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, but no, its moving back. the page was first moved this year:

https://wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=URL+encoding

where it previously existed as "percent-encoding" since 2005, or 18 years:

https://wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=URL_encoding&action=history&dir=prev

the minor discussion had doesn't justify this move. Svnpenn (talk) 03:51, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but you fail to understand the process of establishing consensus that is done here on Wikipedia. You have been warned before. – The Grid (talk) 03:36, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

December 2023

Please stop. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at URL encoding, you may be blocked from editing. An established consensus was made on the talk page. If you wish to change the article page, a move discussion must be made on the talk page. If you move this article again, this will be reported to WP:ANI. – The Grid (talk) 19:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

two people is not a consensus. you keep vandalising pages and I will report you to WP:ANI Svnpenn (talk) 21:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then, start a discussion on the talk page. Stop trying to subvert the process. – The Grid (talk) 03:29, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the process has already been subverted. the change was rushed through without a proper extended discussion, and the change never should have gone through in the first place. I am just correcting that error. Svnpenn (talk) 04:21, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Usergenerated sources

Hi Svnpenn,

Reliable sources should have reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking per WP:RS. Your edit here was reverted because it was a WP:USERGENERATED blog and thus not reliable. You also cited this source for Milioti's birth date, which I'm sure you'll see upon review does not contain any birth date listing and fails WP:VERIFY. AP source is reliable and was retained. Thanks. Rift (talk) 21:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so basically you're admitting failure. got it. thanks for finally ending this pointless back and forth. Svnpenn (talk) 23:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to help a lost rookie. Rift (talk) 08:07, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

maybe you should spend more time actually being constructive, like finding notable sources, rather than worrying about what other people are doing. Svnpenn (talk) 15:51, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MP4 and ISOBMFF are still open formats

Both standards are accessible for a fee, which does not mean that they are no longer open, see Open file format. Fernando Trebien (talk) 00:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's continue this discussion with other editors in the right place on Talk:MP4 file format § MP4 and ISOBMFF are open formats, even if an access fee is required. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 14:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at MP4 file format. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. This also applies to edits at ISO base media file format.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

WP:THREAD

Can you please stop changing the order of responses in the DRN discussion, as you did here? VQuakr (talk) 00:25, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why does it matter, why do you care, and what rule says the top posts need to be in any order? Svnpenn (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It matters and I care because it makes the section confusing when the organizational system we use to communicate is disrupted. The "rule" that talks about this is WP:THREAD, which I linked in the header of this discussion section. Add your comment below the last entry in the discussion. If you want to respond to a specific comment, you can place your response directly below it. Use a colon (:) to indent your message to create a threaded message. VQuakr (talk) 00:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have reverted the correction of the thread breaking I did, [1]. In that same edit you removed my reply. This is disruptive editing and a violation of WP:TPO. It is a behavioral issue separate from the content dispute. Please stop immediately. VQuakr (talk) 00:53, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you removed the horizontal rules which is a disruptive action. if you want to change the order, you should retain the horizontal rules. Svnpenn (talk) 00:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to separate replies with hbreaks, it is not common practice, and you inserted them above other editors' signatures in violation of WP:TPO. Consider this a final warning. VQuakr (talk) 01:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what position are you to be issuing warnings? the HR elements were added to improve reading of the page. you seem aggressively hostile over something that is trivial. I would warn you to watch your tone and try to collaborate in a more respectful way. Svnpenn (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand the perceived benefit to the breaks and you certainly may not make edits to text above other editors' signatures. I do not view the repeated removal of my reply as a trivial matter. If you don't mind me asking, are you using a screen reader or similar accessibility equipment aided by the breaks? VQuakr (talk) 01:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I dont need to justify my edits to you. I have already explained the edit multiple times, I wont do it again. the top post order has been restored. I would advise you to just stop and move on, not to take every edit by another user as a personal affront. If I removed a comment by you or anyone it was a mistake, please dont assume malice where there is none. Svnpenn (talk) 01:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You removed my reply not once but twice, and after it had been pointed out to you here. I don't view that as a "personal affront", I view it as disruptive behavior that has to be stopped, by a block if necessary. Good to hear you won't do it again. VQuakr (talk) 01:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

remember, you removed my HR elements twice as well. perhaps you should consider your own actions before worrying about others? "wont do it again" refers to me explaining my actions regarding this issue. I will continue to make reverts when appropriate. also I will make sure to have you blocked as well, if you inappropriate behavior continues. Svnpenn (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't own your edits, and you certainly don't own layout elements that you've put above someone else's signature. You'll need to exhibit an understanding of WP:BOOMERANG if you want your whinging about "making sure to have me blocked" to be taken seriously; you're skating on exceptionally thin ice right now. VQuakr (talk) 01:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

again, what grounds do you have to threaten my on my own talk page? the comment removal was a mistake, its been reverted. the top level comment reordering seemed harmless, however once I was made aware of the concern I relented on the order. the HR elements are a helpful addition, so if you want to have me blocked for adding those, have at it. remember, boomerang applies to you too! and comments like "whinging" aren't going to be a good look in any future block requests, so thanks for adding that part sir! Svnpenn (talk) 02:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

...on my own talk page? to clarify: user talk is the preferred location to address behavioral issues. There is no other location on Wikipedia where it is more appropriate to be bringing them. VQuakr (talk) 02:43, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you're skating on exceptionally thin ice right now. I would take care in further replies. Svnpenn (talk) 02:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Fernando Trebien (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:STAND UP TO CANCER.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:STAND UP TO CANCER.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. matt br 08:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
