Proposed deletion of The Dogfather (film)

Hello, Optimistic Wikipedian. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, The Dogfather (film), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 00:46, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007)

Although WWE did not delist it until March 2008, the retirement year is 2007. Their own website says this. http://www.wwe.com/classics/titlehistory/cruiser --JDC808 ♫ 22:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Better Call Saul (season 1). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- AlexTW 16:42, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Showed proof to the other user via reliable source on their talk page before last revert. Optimistic Wikipedian (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
That doesn't give you license to say "I am right" and continue edit warring. You must gain consensus, and so far, you've failed to do that. Next revert may get you blocked. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:20, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
The editor has clearly ceased reverting. No threats are needed here as the discussion is still ongoing. -- AlexTW 18:30, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
I feel insulted that you would threaten to block me after all the work i have put into improving Wikipedia for the past few years, just because i had a disagreement with you and another individual over whether a TV show is owned by Netflix or not. As AlexTW pointed out, I have clearly stopped reverting. Also a while ago you were lecturing me about having manners when i clearly said nothing wrong or insulting. I suggest you make an apology as soon as you read this message. Optimistic Wikipedian (talk) 22:47, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

You two give me a swift pain. Alex, just as I think you're actually going to act like a human being again, you revert to hall monitor mode and leave another snotty message that is of no help whatsoever. OW, if you think a routine warning is a threat, you really need to develop a much thicker skin. I didn't threaten to block you, and there's nothing to apologize for. You were edit warring, and that merits a warning; it's WP practice. You blew off the warning Alex gave you, which suggests you planned to continue to revert, so I added another one. Try to not to read too much into things. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 08:44, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Just like you. Instead of helping a new editor out, you threaten and belittle them over an issue that has already included. Shame on you. Go on your way and scare off other new editors by reverting them and not helping out. Optimistic, you're doing a great job, keep it up! -- AlexTW 17:51, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

I clearly stopped reverting as soon as i seen Alex's message (which was actually necessary), then you make a threat to block me when i had done nothing wrong in the first place which is very rude and immature. It's also very hypocritical of you to criticize me for a lack of manners when you clearly do not have any. Alex's comment was very fair and unbiased as he very smartly stated "No threats are needed here as the discussion is still ongoing". The Optimistic One (talk) 18:25, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gloves Off (Better Call Saul), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gordon Smith (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:21, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Better Call Saul summaries

Hi there, thanks for your efforts regarding creating the season articles for Better Call Saul. However, I noticed you have significantly shrunken the summaries, with some of them being only around 60 words (they can be up to 200). The problem here is that I noticed you mainly just delete large portions of the summaries, which effectively remove complete storylines/characters from episodes, and essentially make the summary actually incomplete. Here for example, you basically just deleted the second half from each of the summaries, as a way to "condense" them; this really isn't the way to do it. Plus, the first two summaries for season 2 (203 and 202 words, respectively) are perfectly fine. It's the ones that are 250+ words that need to be trimmed. As an example, the subplot involving Mike, Nacho, and Pryce in the first two episodes: only the middle of that plot is in the summaries, because the beginning of it from "Switch" was deleted and the conclusion of it in "Cobbler" is also gone. So, it basically kinda comes out of nowhere. I can gladly help with the summaries if you wish. Drovethrughosts (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Drovethrughosts, yes, what you said makes perfect sense, do everything you can with summaries if desired, if you want to ask me anything regarding Better Call Saul-related articles or anything else on Wikipedia, please feel free to discuss on my talk page.
