==Disambiguation link notification for January 19==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Super Smash Bros. Crusade]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Game Maker]] ([http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Super_Smash_Bros._Crusade check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Super_Smash_Bros._Crusade fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== Screenshot (I deserve a block.) ==

Apparently, when I undid your edit, I actually ''vandalized'' the page because of an accidental misunderstanding, and, when I was reverting politely, it later turned out that I apparently—''apparently''—typed in abusive language, which led to your saying "Excuse me?", therefore making me ''want'' to be blocked. It is therefore obvious that I apparently was highly psychopathic, and there is no doubt about that, so may I please be blocked?

== That is not vandalism ==

Because an editor disagrees with your edit does not make it vandalism. This [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template:Competitive_Super_Smash_Bros.&oldid=701108640 edit here] is clearly not vandalism. Reverting it to an old version is acceptable. Be more careful or you could be taken to ANI in the future. [[Special:Contributions/76.124.114.73|76.124.114.73]] ([[User talk:76.124.114.73|talk]]) 19:35, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:You're pointing to a diff with a standard template by twinkle. I wouldn't call it vandalism, no. But like I said in the warning I issued you, don't revert for no reason. Having the first ''Smash'', followed by the general series, than ''Melee'' does not make sense. Even if you don't agree. --[[User:Soetermans|Soetermans]].

Hello Soetermans.  I've noticed how active you are working on video game articles.

:Hi {{ping|109.150.7.119}}, first off, why are you talking in the [[royal we]]? Second, could you be specific about which edits? Maybe you're talking about [[mustard (condiment)]], because that's your only other [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/109.150.7.119 article edit]. Not unlike [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/109.151.149.129 this IP address]. Their initial [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mustard_(condiment)&diff=prev&oldid=702423535 edit] claimed my edits were vandalism. I left a message at their talk page, which was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A109.151.149.129&type=revision&diff=702476128&oldid=702424965 subsequently blanked]. After that, they again incorrectly [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mustard_(condiment)&diff=next&oldid=702424378 added] style errors. I left [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:109.151.149.129&diff=next&oldid=702476128 another message], pointing to [[Talk: mustard (condiment)#American mustard]]. 

:So yes, everyone is welcome to contribute constructively and I urge you to do so. I also think it's important for you to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]], and not call an experienced editor's edits "vandalism", not responding to your talk page and then making a point by leaving a message at my talk page. --[[User:Soetermans|Soetermans]].

== Regarding recent move of Destiny DLC article ==

Hi, in regards to your recent move of [[Post-release content of Destiny]] to [[Destiny downloadable content]], the decision to name it "Post-release content of Destiny" was because it covers more than just DLC.

== Concerning AfD about Layton characters ==

Hi, I agree that a lot of the text has been duplicate and plot vehicle description instead of characterization; but the article has become much neater after having been pruned a bit, and I think more pruning and source-addition will make it look fairly good. However it's going to take a few days, so I ask for patience. --[[User:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|Mr. Magoo]] ([[User talk:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|talk]]) 20:09, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

::::I ran into more trouble when looking into the latter half of the article. I think the first half and second half were written by different people, and the first half had general characterizations followed by a game events paragraph (a spoiler paragraph). This was well designed with the reader able to read characterizations without spoiling the plot, and I think it was a bit wrong to remove some of these latter paragraphs since it was so well designed. But the spoiler stuff is impossible to source and isn't really the point of a characters list, which is supposed to generalize the characters quickly and simply for anyone googling the character. Now what followed was the second half. From the disappointment of cutting down nearly everything from the second half, leaving only incredible stubs; I thought the second half tells as much about the characters as the articles for the titles do. The second half of the list just describes events happening to the characters. The first half is better done and describes the characters profiles and personalities unlike the game titles I looked at. --[[User:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|Mr. Magoo]] ([[User talk:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|talk]]) 13:43, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
::::In addition the Layton Wiki exists with massive descriptions of the characters and what happens to them, so thinking from an librarian's perspective our list should fill the role of the simple generalizer more than the burdening plot explainer's. --[[User:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|Mr. Magoo]] ([[User talk:Mr. Magoo and McBarker|talk]]) 14:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

:Hi {{ping|Banedon}},

:That was based upon [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Series_character_lists|this discussion]]. In a nutshell, a lot of video game characters lists like the one from ''Baldur's Gate'' are written from an in-universe point-of-view, essentially retelling the plot, without any information on the characters, like development or reception, which would make a list like that worth having around. Using the custom [[WP:VG/RS]] Google [https://cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=003516479746865699832:leawcwkqifq search engine] it didn't take long to see that aren't any in-depth articles or opinion pieces on the characters.

== One of your [[Eve Online]] edits ==

Please reconsider one of [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Eve_Online&diff=713509922&oldid=713509891 your changes] to [[Eve Online]].  For one thing, the reference to [[Bloodbath of B-R5RB]] is entirely 'hidden' within the 'navbox' so that even searching for it in the page finds _nothing_, unless the navbox happens to be open.  That is, the link is simply gone normally.  

I had to do a search using ~"titanomachy" to find the article.  It should be a bit easier to find than that, and especially linked from the [[Eve Online]] article.

I find it *amazing* that the Eve Online article does not have one mention of that historic event, aka Titanomachy.  That is inexplicably strange.  Making the link disappear from See Also just makes the situation even worse. [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 00:41, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

== Bendybit / 5.139.234.81 ==

Thanks for your message. Before I even saw your message, I had spotted the block-evasion and decided to reblock the account and block the IP address, but it does no harm for you to tell me in case I hadn't noticed. I see that the same person has previosuly used at least one other IP address in the same range (5.139.238.6) so I'll have a look at the history and see whether a range block is suitable. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 16:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if it's of any interest to you, but I have now found that Bendybit has been doing the same kind of disruptive editing both with and without logging in since January, using 17 IP addresses in the range 5.139.224.0 to 5.139.255.255, and has received warnings on 6 IP talk pages, as well as on the Bendybit talk page. There has only ever been one edit in that range which is not obviously from Bendybit, and that was in 2013, so I shall be able to block the range for quite a long time without fear of collateral damage. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 16:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

== Bendybit IP block evasion ==

I have seen your message at [[User talk:Bendybit]], pinging me and {{u|Cyphoidbomb}}, about an IP address with similar editing to Bendybit. I agree, and I have also found that the IP addresses are from the same ISP and the same moderate sized Russian town as an IP address that I had previously determined had been used by Bendybit for block evasion. I shall certainly block the two IP addresses you gave, and revert outstanding edits from them, and I shall look into whether a range block would be reasonable. I shall also consider increasing Bendybit's block. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 13:54, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

* Well, if it's of any interest to you, there have been 110 edits from 27 IP addresses in the range 85.173.179.x, starting on 12th January this year and every one of those edits looked like Bendybit's style, so I have blocked the range. In view of the extent of the block evasion, I am inclined to block Bendybit indefinitely, but I'll think about it for a while, rather than acting hastily. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 14:17, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
