Since this is my first time doing this, I was wondering if I could get help from you, my favorite adopter. ☺ Could you please chime in at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TTN & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (2nd nomination) and give your thoughts? Thanks! Taric25 (talk) 21:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- I will most definitely review the situations (sock and afd) and comment accordingly. this has gotten wayyyy out of hand :( MatthewYeager 21:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! Taric25 (talk) 21:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Since you're now well aware that TTN and Henke37 are different individuals, and would no doubt not want this moment of poor judgment to be used against you in future disputes, I have deleted Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TTN to spare your blushes. Guy (Help!) 20:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- This was not poor moment of judgement by me. I am very serious and I think my claim needs serious consideration. Taric25 17:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Help
Hi I am new to Wiki and was hoping you would help me out. You can answer at my Talk Page. Thanks. --11tberkey (talk) 17:00, 7 December 2007 (UT:C)
- Sure, with what would you like me to help you? Also, how did you find me? Cheers! Taric25 (talk) 17:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- I saw you on Matthew Yeager's Talk Page. Matt is a Friend of mine. --11tberkey (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, cool. How may I help you? Taric25 (talk) 17:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well first I was wondering, is it wrong to like ask people Q's like for EX how old, what gender sort of questions? --11tberkey (talk) 17:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- It's unusual on Wikipedia, but I wouldn't mind chatting with you, however, I would prefer keep my talk page relevant to talk about Wikipedia. Do you have AIM or Yahoo! Messenger? Taric25 (talk) 17:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well no I do not. Sorry. I am not that advanced. How long have you been on Wikipedia? --11tberkey (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have to leave right now. I will propably on later. Thanks thu. --11tberkey (talk) 17:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you would like to check how long I have been on Wikipedia, Special:Contributions/Taric25 is where you can look. I'm sorry, but it seems like you want to chat, rather than need actual help editing an article, and I do not believe that helps the project. If you would like to chat, please get an instant messenger and contact me through there. Thank you. Taric25 17:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Listen Up
Ok Taric, let's review your transgressions here:
- You have filed what is among the most fatuous sockpuppet notices ever recorded. It is incumbent upon you to have solid evidence for a sockpuppet case. I am going to assume in good faith that you are too new to know what that means and that in making such an accusation against a seasoned regular with 25,000 + edits you are simply a victim of your own ignorance. Your sockpuppet case has been deleted by a rouge admin. You should thank him profusely for helping clean up your mess and post a notice of apology on TTN's talk page. And you should do that now.
- There is no requirement for a user page to keep up this, that or any tag that the user does not want. Got that? You're ignorant sockpuppet filing is now compounded by a juvenile reversion of a tag that no longer applies. I am going to assume woeful ignorance in this as well, instead of the more serious case of deliberate vandalism. But that will now cease as well. Got it?
- 3RR. You are in danger of being blocked. That would be salutary in my view, but at any event, consider this a warning. in fact, I am probably going to report you to 3RR, since it is an electric fence rule and you are clearly over the line.
So let me summarise: your sockpuppet allegation is completely without merit and comes across as whining adolescent exercise because you didn't get your way in a content dispute, as does your childish 3RR on a user's talk page. Read our rules and abide by them. You will now stop this and find something more productive to do. Got it? Eusebeus (talk) 19:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Wikiquette alerts
Hello, this is a friendly notice that I replied to your comment, and I would like your advice. If you have any other questions, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! Taric25 (talk) 18:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I received your message. I am afraid I am a bit confused with the number of involved parties. To my understanding, they are (1) you, (2) TTN, and (3) Eusebeus. Hopefully I'm not leaving anyone out. Now, where I am confused (I haven't dug through everything carefully, since I'm after all not ArbCom) is the following. To start, who accused whom of sockpuppetry? The accused person then of course has denied it. How does a third person enter into the picture, with the rant about the 25,000+ edits? Thanks.Ngchen (talk) 20:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your question. I will do my best make my answer as short as possible, and please feel free to take a look at the evidence for yourself so you can get both sides of the story and make an objective decision, rather than just believe my point of view.
- User:TTN and I were not able to come to a consensus on List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, however, I do not believe he should asked for cleanup at WP:VG/C only to use his sockpuppet, User:Henke37, to list the article at AfD, thereby disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point. That is why I listed it at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets, and that is where this situation between Eusebeus and I arose.
- You may want to look at the history for User:TTN's userpage.
- 21:11, 4 December 2007, I add {{sockpuppeteer}}, per Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Tagging. My edit summary is "{{sockpuppeteer}}".
- 02:55, 5 December 2007 User:Eusebeus reverts. The edit summary is "Undid revision 175783905 by Taric25 (talk)".
- 07:38, 5 December 2007 I revert. My edit summary is "Undid revision 175846854 by Eusebeus (talk) Per Wikipedia:Sock puppetry, the notice may only be removed after at least 10 days".
- 05:05, 6 December 2007 Eusebeus reverts. The edit summary is "Not when it's a completely bogus claim. See WP:TEMPLAR and be warned that sockpuppetry is a serious accusation. Have better evidence next time for your suspicions". Notice WP:TEMPLAR an essay, neither policy nor guideline.
- 15:32, 6 December 2007 User:Maniwar reverts. The edit summary is "Reverted 1 edit by Eusebeus; Wait until issue is resolved, per Taric25's last comment. using TW"
- 17:00, 6 December 2007 User:Seraphim Whipp reverts. The edit summary is "Undid. "The templates serve as a convenient shorthand only and are not part of this policy" from Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Tagging. Sorry if I've misunderstood this."
- 17:00, 6 December 2007 I revert. My edit summary is "Undid revision 176179456 by Seraphim Whipp (talk) I am very serious by the evidence I have presented."
- On Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TTN,(cache) at 20:31, 6 December 2007, User:JzG, an admin Eusbeus identifies as a "rogue admin"(diff), deletes the entire page without using Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, Wikipedia:Proposed deletion, or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The edit summary is "This is clearly fatuous and I don't believe that Taric25's best friend would look on this as his finest hour. Deleting to spare his blushes."
- At TTN's userpage, at 17:16, 7 December 2007 Eusebeus reverts. The edit summary is "sockpuppet case was dismissed. This is vandalism. STOP FORTHWITH!"
- On Wikipedia:Deletion review, I list Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007 December 7#Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TTN at 17:49, 7 December 2007, and my edit summary is "Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TTN"
- At TTN's userpage, at 17:45, 7 December 2007 I revert. My edit summary is "Undid revision 176396657 by Eusebeus (talk) The case was not dismissed, and the case's deletion is up for review."
- Current revision (as of 17:50, 7 December 2007) Seraphim Whipp reverts. The edit summary is "Per Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Treatment_of_the_editor Aggressive approaches applied to protect the encyclopedia from sock puppets ordinarily should not be applied to the an editor in goodstanding"
- On 19:36, 7 December 2007, Eusebeus leaves the message you read at the Wikiquette noticeboard on my talk page.
- Also, Seraphim Whipp's reason for reverting me is because that editor believes TTN is in good standing, because at Eusebeus points out, TTN has over 25,000 edits, however, Maniwar points out that this is contested, since TTN has three Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. For example, one user shows evidence that More than 80% of TTN's edits are an effort to remove content.
- Did that make sense? Taric25 (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I'd like you to consider withdrawing the RfC on the talk page - I realize it is well intentioned, but the talk page is for discussing general issues having to do with the Wikiquette page, not specific disputes.
I've posted some comments on the Wikiquette alert intended to get at the civility issue. I hope you will give the process another chance. I will do my best to keep the conversation focused on the civility issue between you and User:Eusebeus. Egfrank (talk) 12:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- At your polite request on my talk page, I have withdrawn the RfC. Taric25 (talk) 16:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Stop. Now.
You are forum shopping your content disputes in a quite unacceptable manner. It is time to stop it, please. To look at your recent actions one would conclude that every single editor in that dispute, with the sole exception of you, is abusive in some way. I find that implausible. Guy (Help!) 07:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? Forum shopping? Wouldn't that mean that I've been leaving messages on a lot of different user's talk pages? I haven't been doing that, so I don't know what you mean. Kindly, would you please clarify so that I can understand what you mean? Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 16:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Posting the same rehash at WP:WQA, WP:ANI, user talk pages, etc. all in an effort to canvass. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 17:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am assuming what Guy means is that he believes that you are doing something like the following. Child goes to one parent and asks to do something. Parent says no. Rather than leaving it at that, the child then asks the other parent the same thing, hoping for a yes. If the answer is still no, the child goes and asks other relatives one at a time, until the desired "yes" is obtained. Now, I am not saying that what Guy claims is true since I have not examined "the content disputes." Forum shopping doesn't have to involve multiposting over lots of people's talk pages. A hypothetical example might be a user who gets into a user-conduct dispute with another. He files a Wikiquette alert. People say the second user did nothing wrong. He then files a user-conduct RfC alleging the same thing. Gets the same response. Goes to AN/I with the same thing, etc. etc. Now, I'm sure we all agree that doing that is a bad thing, and is actually an attempt to game the system. Hope this helps.Ngchen (talk) 11:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, okay, I understand, however, I withdrew the RfC at the polite request of User:Egfrank on my talk page, and I haven't taken it to ANI. Besides, User:Hemlock Martinis closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (2nd nomination) with 'Closed to allow improvement; User:Xoloz overturned the SSP deletion with User:Future Perfect at Sunrise closing the case ruling User:TTN not guilty, and I am not going to contest the decision. I have also apologized to both TTN and User:Eusebeus, so it seems to me like the whole situation is over with me going back to List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars working with the WikiProject Video games Cleanup department to clean it up per the discussion. That's why I'm confused when User:JzG thinks I'm forum shopping. Taric25 (talk) 18:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

World of Super Mario RPG
Taric, I was wondering if you could provide me some of the Nintendo magazine references you have. I'll read up on the one linked in the reference section, but if you could provide the text of the others I'd really appreciate it. (Guyinblack25 talk 18:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC))
PS- I think it might be time to archive you talk page. :-P
- Sure, I can do that, but since the full text is not available online, it would require me to scan each and every page or type them out by hand. I would obviously prefer to scan them, but I don't have any webspace. I would usually ask Mitaphane of the WikiProject Video games Magazines department to help me out in this case, but it seems like Mitaphane’s FTP server is down. Do you know any of the users in Category:WikiProject Video games (Magazines Project) members who might be able to help us? Thanks!
- PS- I've archived my talk page.Taric25 (talk) 19:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm.... that's a tough one. I don't know most of the users in the Magazine project, so I don't know which could help us. If one of the articles is a short one, like 3-5 paragraphs, could you possibly type it out. Of course the larger ones would probably be best to scan, but I guess we'll have to wait and see if Mitaphane's server gets back up. In the mean time, I'll go through the sources that are available. (Guyinblack25 talk 20:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC))
- Oh, none of the articles on Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars in Nintendo Power are short. For example, the preview in volume 83 is eight pages. Besides, I already typed out pretty much anything that is short, such as the letters gamers wrote into the Player's Pulse, when I quoted them using
|quote=
in the citation templates. Well, I could start scanning them now. In the meantime, do you want to start contacting the users of the Magazines project on their talkpages? Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 20:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Please stop spamming all the redirects, they are not needed. Q T C 19:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am not spamming any redirects. I am redirecting the suggested names of the articles in the requested move discussion, while paying attention the title's alternate names from whatredirectshere.php. Thank you for understanding. Taric25 (talk) 19:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- All-caps queries are found automatically in uncapped variations, so you're just making a mess out of things. And please leave discussion in one spot Q T C 19:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Please remember to keep a cool head. I don't think there's any reason for you to accuse me of making a mess out of things. Now then, would you please rephrase what you were trying to say? Also, I would appreciate you using words like “please” and “thank you” when asking me to do or not to do something. Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 19:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- All-caps queries are found automatically in uncapped variations, so you're just making a mess out of things. And please leave discussion in one spot Q T C 19:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Whether they search for Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario rpg) or MuShrOoM KIngDom (SuPeR MaRiO rPg) or Mushroom Kingdom (Super MARIO RPG) all will pull up the same redirect, so creating a separate redirect for the different possible capitalizations is serving no other purpose then cluttering up wikipedia. Q T C 22:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. While it may be true that using the search feature will redirect to the same article regardless of capitalization, please understand that many readers simply type into the address bar of their browsers, which does not redirect to an article with different CAPS. Many readers find these redirects helpful, which is why so many other Wikipedians have created these redirects to the main article. I am following the consensus of their examples from redirects they created and incorporating them with the consensus we reached at the requested move on the World article's talk page. Anyway, I have finished making redirects of Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars), which was the first suggestion in the requested move. The second is the article itself. The third was Mushroom Kingdom and its neighboring lands (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) and the fourth was Mushroom Planet (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). If you don't mind, may I please finish the 75% of the work I have left to do? Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 09:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Centralized TV Episode Discussion
Over the past months, TV episodes have been reverted by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. --Maniwar (talk) 19:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I nominated Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for deletion, due to it not being notable enough for it's own article. See the discussion Here. -Karaku (talk) 19:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Taric, this one is not in not as good a shape the world article was. Unless it can be expanded and properly sourced, I don't think it can stay on Wikipedia and I'm inclined to vote accordingly. Keep working on it though. Worst comes to worst, you have to start it over in your sandbox until it is expanded and sourced enough to stand on its own. But if the content and reliable sources don't exist, then the article may not be able to exist. I'd regularly save an updated copy of the wiki code in a txt file if I were you. (Guyinblack25 talk 18:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC))

AfD nomination of Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
An editor has nominated Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Alternate titles, and columns in Lists of articles
Hi Taric25, you where one of the few people that helped to merg the N64 games lists and get the Japanese titles back onto the main list, but the discussioon has arrived again, and I'd like to invite you to contribute to the Talk:List of Nintendo 64 games#Removal of Alternate Titles and Number of Players where we are discussing the use of keeping alternate titles in the "List of...games" some have suggested that they take up too much space and that other columns could seem to be "useful only to fans", and other things that have been mentioned that, and other 'List of' talk pages. I hope you'll come and give you opinion, and hopefully keep these type of concerns from arising again and again at each "List of" pages. (Floppydog66 (talk) 23:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC))

You are now a Reviewer
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Philippine Cable Channels Remove Agian and Agian Part 3
Hello Taric25, after Active Banana another user Wikipedical is currently removing Philippines Cable and DTH Channels Article like SkyCable, Global Destiny Cable, Cablelink, Dream Satellite TV, G Sat, Cable Star Iloilo, Royal Cable, Cignal Digital TV, Telmarc Cable, Kalibo Cable, GV Broadcasting Systems, Inc., Parasat Cable TV and SPC-New World Cable TV among others due to unvalid reason taken from NOTDIR which is not mention about TV channels itself. I'm so upset why he removed the channel line up from the Philippines except other Asian and World cable and DTH provider still display their channel line up to present time in their respective article, but Wikipedical invite them to his/her Talk Page to clarify the issue. Please help! --Puppyph | Talk 13:26, 04 July 2010 (UTC)
Samsu-iluna edits
Hey Taric, thank you for the feedback on the Samsuiluna article. I've corrected the capitalization issues and moved the citations after the punctuation as per your notice, but am having trouble wit hthe other two suggestions. First, you're quite right the article should be headed "Samsu-iluna" instead of "Samsu-Iluna," but I'm not sure how to change the article name (and as I simply filled out an existing stub, I'm afraid it may lose its references in a move). Second, the citation format I followed is as near as I can tell exactly like the formula used in the Hammurabi article. So I guess I'm wondering if they are also using a wrong (or outdated) style guide, or if perhaps the style is appropriate to the Near East history section. Again, I really appreciate the feedback. Zoweee (talk) 22:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Ah! I think I see what you were looking for with the references. I went back through how Hammurabi citations worked and finally see the difference. Would you mind looking at my early draft of my Rim-Sin reboot and seeing if the citations are correct? If so I will go back through Samsu-iluna and make the changes there as well. Thanks!

Romanization for words of English origin
On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).
Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.
One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.
What this invitation is:
- You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.
What this invitation is not:
- This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
- This is not a vote on compromises either.
It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Image licensing on Commons
I saw one of your photos on Commons (commons:File:Scott Bakula in 2005.PNG) and was intrigued by the idea that you refused to license the photo under the GFDL because of the ugly image of the Gnu. Now that the default licenses on Commons and Wikipedia are Creative Commons, have you considered just changing the license to just be CC BY? I understand if you've still got strong opinions regarding image licensing, but thought it might be worth asking. —Tom Morris (talk) 07:19, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- First, I will never, ever, EVER copyleft any of my work. I believe the most restrictive license is the license that forces anyone who uses the work to license it under the same license. Therefore, it basically price-fixes anything associated with that work at zero. Why would anyone pay for anything associated with that work when redistribution is totally legal? It keeps everyone poor, because no one can make any money on something everyone can get for free. That is why I will never support the GFDL.
- Second, have you even read the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY)? Section 4a reads, "If You create an Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by Section 4(b), as requested." Therefore, why would anyone remix, re-use, adapt or make any other derivative work from the original work when the original author can legally force the person who uses the work to give up any credit?
- In conclusion, neither the Free Software Foundation nor Creative Commons have any licenses I will ever choose to use for my own works. In fact, I am considering adding a clause to my current license that states that anyone may use it for any purpose as long as they attribute me and NEVER copyleft it.

If you look at my edit history, as I go through these images I do check the articles for blatant vandalism and revert/fix (see the rollback/reverted to...) So next time, check the article history before making accusations and creating wikidrama. Skier Dude (talk) 00:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- No, you did not check. User:Alpha_Quadrant removed the image because the image "did not have a fair use rationale", which is a lie because it does, and 12 hours later it was returned. Please check the edit history of the pages where the image is stated to be in useand backlinks of the articles in question, especially when the image description page directly states the article(s) in use. Had you done so, you would have seen Alpha_Quadrant was mistaken in claiming there was no fair use rationale and could have simply re-inserted the image into the article yourself. Thank you.

AN/I
WP:AN/I is not the first place to go when you have a dispute with another editor. As you were told when you filed a complaint about Skier Dude, you need to discuss your problem with the other editor first, and then, if it cannot be resolved, you might take it to AN/I -- but only if it's a behavioral problem and not a content dispute. In spite of being told this, I see that you filed a complaint about Alpha Quadrant on AN/I without first discussing your concerns with that editor. This is not good. Please take things one step at a time, and don't go running to AN/I without first trying to resolve problems directly with other editors. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:41, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- Excuse me, I was not the only person to have such problems with this user for this exact same reason. An admin had warned him before and that is why I reported it. I would have reported it for long-term abuse, except the user has never been placed on an indefinite block. Taric25 (talk) 08:22, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- Firstly, the deletion issue that I mentioned in my editor review had absolutely nothing to do with files. I was closing Articles for Deletion discussions early, and several editors raised a concern on the issue. On the Bewitched article, I was challenging the validity of the non-free use rationale. Several of the non-free files fail non-free use criteria 1, 8, and 10c. Currently, the non-free use rationales are generic, and they do not demonstrate how the file provides contextual significance. There is not a specific non-free use rationale on several of the files. Per WP:NFCC #10c: "The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use". As a few of these files are used in other articles, I removed the files, rather than simply tagging them for deletion. You could have simply asked me about this on my talk page, rather than taking it to AN/I. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Bewstone.png
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:Bewstone.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 16:00, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
"Stand-alone lists (television)"
Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists (television) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This failed proposal is discussed in Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 87#Turning "Stand-alone lists (television)" into an essay. I have not tagged the discussion with RFC; nevertheless, I invite you to participate because of your contributions to the page. There have been suggestions of what to do with the work you had done, such as userfying. Rather than leaving it as a neglected failed proposal, I proposed that it be a useful essay, like WP:notability (fiction). --George Ho (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- The proposal is now archived. Therefore, I figured that the conversion to an essay is uncontroversial. What do you think? Shall you go on and then make edits without further discussion? --George Ho (talk) 03:52, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- I converted the failed proposal to the supplement template, since the it's open again for discussion. Taric25 (talk) 02:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Let's check Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), so maybe that supplemental essay should be a typical essay, shall we? --George Ho (talk) 03:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- What is your purpose in doing that? Taric25 (talk) 03:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Well... I just wonder if there are bad or unnecessary advices in that essay. Nothing against you or the essay, but here is the example. --George Ho (talk) 04:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I understand that you are showing that the examples the essay you linked in the changes to Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) removed examples and stated to simply follow other guidelines. I have posted on the talk page of Wikipedia talk:Stand-alone lists (television). Taric25 (talk) 12:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Now it is tagged as a failed proposal. I wonder if you want to move your essay into a userspace, so you can work on it. I asked for assistance of editing in WP:editor assistance/Requests, and I am not sure if anybody is interested. --George Ho (talk) 18:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Uh, no? I never intended it to be an essay, you suggested that. It was my intention to sprout discussion by showing the policies, guidelines and essays I used in order to write the guideline, not to transform it into an essay and certainly not to move it into the user space. It should be a guideline or a failed proposal, not en essay. If me changing the header template ever gave any other message, I apologize. Taric25 (talk) 01:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Removing user comments
You must not delete talk page comments as you did here and here. Although not exactly civil, they are comments on the material, not the editor and should not be removed per WP:TALK. SpinningSpark 14:03, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- I did not remove the user comments. I used the {{Hidden}} template per Wikipedia:Refactoring talk pages and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, as I indicated in the edit summary. If anyone wanted to see comment, which as you said yourself was uncivil, they could click [show] and it would show them.
If you believe that uncivil comments should not use that template to hide them, then you must form a consensus with the editors who formed the two aforementioned guidelines in order change the consensus to no longer use those templates to hide uncivil comments. Until if and when that will ever happen, that will be its current use in the meantime. Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 17:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)- I think that you should read the guidelines yourself that you are referring to. Neither of them support what you have done. WP:TALK says of editing other's comments,
- Removing harmful posts, including personal attacks, trolling and vandalism. This generally does not extend to messages that are merely uncivil; deletions of simple invective are controversial.
- WP:REFACTOR is a howto guide and gives little guidance on when a page should be refactored - except on deletion where it says "Except for non-contentious fixes, this should only be done by the editor who wrote the material or by a sysop or bureaucrat with legitimate cause." I do not accept the argument that hiding is not the same as deletion. Hiding removes its visibility from the page - you might as well say that deleted posts can still be read in the edit history. None of the usual reasons for hiding apply in this case (such as lengthy tables, large images, or off-topic rants). Besides, it is usual practice to leave a summary of the contents of hidden material, not just a near invisible "show" link. I suggest that any summary would be about as long as the material that has been hidden. SpinningSpark 18:49, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- Nope, re-read it. You're wrong. Taric25 (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Anita Sarkeesian, but we cannot accept original research. Original research 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. Thank you. – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 15:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I cited every single thing I wrote. If you do this again, I will list your username at user incidents. Thank you Taric25 (talk) 19:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- And that doesn't matter, because everything you wrote is textbook original research and unpublished synthesis, which are explicitly prohibited on Wikipedia. List my username all you want. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 20:35, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Right, how exactly is the data quoted verbatim from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Wall Street Journal and U.S. News & World Report "original research"? Taric25 (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Because the Bureau of Labor Statistics has never written a word about Anita Sarkeesian. Is this actually hard to understand?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I did not write anything about that. I wrote about job outcomes for the major she chose, and I would like an apology for you using the f-word on the article's talk page. Taric25 (talk) 21:07, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, you wrote about job outcomes for a different major at a different university that you simply claimed, without evidence, was comparable to the major she chose. You also selectively chose jobs that you believed would depict the major in a negative light, while intentionally omitting other jobs that might depict the major more positively. That makes what you wrote completely useless even before we start to talk about the fact that no reliable source has mentioned these outcomes in connection with Sarkeesian's life. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:10, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I will not discuss this further with you. This was removed for original research, which is false. I will report your behavior at user incidents. Have a nice day. Taric25 (talk) 21:20, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- This f-word?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 21:25, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- That is actually the name of the license, believe it or not. You are harassing me. This is cyber-bullying. Please leave me alone. Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 21:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- It's mildly amusing that you think it's "harassing" and "cyber-bullying" for someone to point out that you're improperly editing a biographical article with a tendentious intent to make negative insinuations about the article subject's background, work and education. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:41, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Cyberbullies have now taken to accusing people of original research! What has the world come to?? – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 21:55, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
