April 2014

Hello, I'm EvergreenFir. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Gravity Falls, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Sourcing

Hi, if you're going to add sources to articles, and you should, you should first read Referencing for Beginners. The references you are adding in these edits [1][2] are insuffcient, since what's coming out of them is this postage stamp image that doesn't explain or bolster anything, and there is no context in the image to suggest what YEAR the event happened, or what the event was, specifically. Your plea, "Stop reverting my contrs. I'm trying to help here" is understood, but since you aren't providing adequate sources, your contributions are not coming through as constructive. What would be ideal, is that you find reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If you're going to use a primary source, you should at the very least point to the web page, i.e. this site which at least provides SOME context. Otherwise, repeatedly submitting the same problematic content isn't helpful. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:52, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

So, if you're gonna erase the JTS UK original date, which in Wikipedia is stated with no references as 4th April, fine. But erase it, because it's not helpful and doesn't have any webpage which can prove its truth. When I find the original Jetix ad for Jimmy Two-Shoes, I'll put again the real premiere date with the link to the ad, but please, erase the UK dates. -Bankster1 (talk) 05:24, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm having difficulty understanding you. If you want to use this page as your reference, I won't stand in your way, so long as you link to the page, and not the postage stamp image. And if you can find a better source, that would be appreciated, since this reference only suggests that the series was intended to air on April 18, 2009. For all we know, it could have been delayed. A site that confirms it did air, would be ideal. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

It's not necessary to use this page (which is a banner-recolector), because one of the admins of the stuff have sent me (via outlook.com) the video which states the real date when the show was broadcasted on that channel. The postage stamp image was just a screenshot of the clip. I'm gonna send it to you later. -Bankster1 (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

How do you propose to reference a video that you have in your possession, but that doesn't exist elsewhere? That would constitute original research. The content needs to be verifiable without having to contact the primary source, and the website should be sufficient for our purposes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:43, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

The content is not mine. The site is not mine. I asked the stuff for those videos, which I'm uploading to an account now. They were directly ripped from TV, and I *highly* doubt if you could think I've made those videos. JETIX UK TVRIP-Bankster1 (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

And I've had to refuse it, since there is no clear indication that you have a legal right to post those videos. We do not link to potential copyright violations. There's also no confirmation that the series actually premiered on that date, only that it was planned to premiere on that date. As I've previously mentioned, and urged, your better choice is to link the the website since that is the strongest and least controversial source you have. And even if you could demonstrate that you had a legal right to post those videos, the production company's website is still a better source for that content, since it could also be assumed that you were trying to drive traffic to your personal Youtube page, even though I do not think that's what you are intending. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

How am I gonna find another website in which states JTS UK date exactly as the following video? You're missunderstanding everything. I don't want any traffic to my personal YouTube page. I wanted to prove you the exact premiere date when the cartoon was first broadcasted. As far as I concerned, when a show is planned to premiere in a date, it actually premieres. You won't find 2000s cartoons whose planned premiere date was on an specific day, you'll only find, without references, the exact day those cartoons where first broadcasted for the first time in a country. I don't have a legal right to post these videos, but neither I've monetized them and I won't do that. If you don't believe in a premiere date a TV station states for a show, by certain logic, you won't believe anything about premiere dates on any TV stuff. Am I right, sir? -Bankster1 (talk) 05:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

You keep missing my point. Both this website and the video tell us that the show was planned to air April 18, 2009. The website is sufficient for this purpose. The Youtube video is not, since it presents a potential copyright violation. If this was on the production company's official Youtube channel, the copyright problem would be null, but it would still be a reference of about the same value. This website is just as good as a video promo for the purposes of verifiability. The only reason why we are having this discussion, is because you were linking to a tiny picture, instead of to the website that contains the tiny picture. Ideally, a source, like a book on TV shows that includes premiere dates should be used, because we would trust a published source to tell us when something actually aired, as opposed to when it was planned to be broadcast. But until we have such a source, use the website as the reference. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:54, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

First you said the stamp was not a source, then I showed you the page. Then you said it wasn't reliable, so I asked the page's admin to give me the videos from his website to prove the original premiere date. And now, you say that the previous website I showed you was enough. I don't understand you. Even more, in older editions of the article, like this, it clearly shows up the exact date Jetix UK premiere it. Coincidence? -Bankster1 (talk) 21:38, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Read my first two posts again. "If you're going to use a primary source, you should at the very least point to the web page, i.e. this site" and "If you want to use this page as your reference, I won't stand in your way, so long as you link to the page, and not the postage stamp image." I don't know what is confusing about that. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:12, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Fine. I'll proceed to put the dates on the article. Thanks for clarifying. Cheers. -Bankster1 (talk) 00:20, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

February 2015

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 03:20, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

I did sent a message to him on its talk page, but he insisted and there you go. I've only tried to fix this article with real facts from friends I have on international cartoon forums (I sourced well-known news pages), but he insisted to revert my editions. He's known to be confrontal and to try move the main Disney XD article from a US-localised to an International one sometime (I revised the article's history), something many users didn't accept and rejected its project. What can I do?-Bankster1 (talk) 04:08, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Declined speedy

I recently declined your request for WP:speedy deletion of Disney XD (Ukraine) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), since it did not cite a valid criterion for the deletion of a redirect. Please consider instead listing it at Redirects for Discussion. LFaraone 01:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Laura Marano Photoshoot 2015.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Laura Marano Photoshoot 2015.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disney Channel

English track is the only one available there because dubs started showing only after 2016, and that page hasn't been updated since 2012 as you can see. Also dubs are very rare but they're there, I've even seen them myself, it's one single track because there aren't much dubs to show, same with i.e Tip TV which works the same (most are subtitled but there are dubs as well). I know how multi-subtitled channels work, we have Fox Life or Fox for example, the subtitles are not hardcored and you can switch them in any balkan language and the advertisements are in Serbo-Croatian. But Disney Channel is a separated channel, you can't switch the subs and the ads are in Albanian. They had a YouTube channel but they closed it recently for some reason, I asked them yesterday on facebook why, and they said that because they had a channel for both the Disney Channel and for the Disney theatrical releases, they had to close it and will open a new one separated, only for DisneyChannel. You can't revert edits just like that without any proofs. -- Whoamiwilli (talk) 12:20, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Disney International HD notablity

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Disney International HD. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. "These are notable references since it proves the actual existence of the channel. Yet, they're being removed with no neutral point of view." The existence of the channel does not grant notability, thus having an article, see WP:N's nutshell: "Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia." All source are not from major general purpose media, so has not gain attention from the "world at large. Part of the information that was removed was about Disney Channel and its localized versions of live shows, thus not pertaining to this channel as it is English language. Additional, the shows were removed do to them being sourced by an unreliable source, a TV guide. It was an intermediate edit (as my browser was freezing up). But getting into a discussion over incubating the channel at The Walt Disney Company India, stall said efforts. Spshu (talk) 18:28, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Bankster (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I was blocked for "persistent vandalism" because I kept adding "unsourced information" in Uruguay. First off, the date was stated on the English article before user Yilku1 edited it, so he's removing correct data. He did this while covering the addition of unsourced information about the country's demonym, he also did this on the Spanish wiki but he didn't persist on adding it again after I reverted his edits. Third, I wasn't notified about the noticeboard's mention, so I basically couldn't reply to Ferret's decision, nor Yilku notified me when he must have done it before. I'm calling for my block to be reviewed and, since that I can't report him to the noticeboard, I also ask an admin to block Yilku1 for edit warring. Bankster (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

See WP:NOTTHEM. Edit warring is disruptive even when you're right, and you haven't provided a source to show that you're right. Huon (talk) 01:15, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I'll leave this for another admin to review my actions. Always open to a second opinion. However, Bankster has left out a detail I found when reviewing this reported issue, which is that the 1814 date was added by an IP in February 2018. Two users, Tonneduroc and Yilku1, have attempted to revert this unsourced addition, with Bankster edit warring to keep it in. -- ferret (talk) 01:45, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

This is related to your edits at Animax Pakistan and the related WP:AN discussion: if this IP were engaging in vandalism, stalking, and illegitimate editing of a topic totally unrelated to where he lives, you were too (with the added problem that you demonstrably did not engage in discussion), while if the IP's edits were right, you were seeking sanctions and making accusations about problematic behavior without evidence.
