Re Personal attacks at Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes

I am greatly offended by the latest personal attack by Liangshan Yi in the RFC comments. As this needs addressing and I am not allowed to take further part in the RfC I thought you may be able to do something. Only one of the current editors was editing the article at the date of Liangshan Yi's latest "makes Deckers look bad" diffs (Nov 2009) and he had only begun editing it a few weeks earlier with all his edits involving the reversion of spam and vandalism.[1] The first edit to add or remove actual content by any current editor was made in April 2010 and within six months the article was looking very similar to the current version. It can equally be argued that the current Australian editors are responsible for the neutrality of the current version.
Also P&W and Liangshan keep going on about Luda being a case that proves their argument. Luda in fact has been specifically mentioned as part of the generic dispute as can be seen here. Cheers Wayne (talk) 05:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

To clarify, I'm not asking that you report it or anything like that. I just feel someone should point out the flaws in his argument to put the constant claims of Australian bias to bed. Wayne (talk) 07:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Music Tags

Hi, the RFC at Talk:Arlene's Grocery was removed so what do we do now in your opinion? Thank you, MarioNovi (talk) 05:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi it was closed, should we talk at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music like you suggest? Thank you, MarioNovi (talk) 07:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi did you miss my message here? Sorry I do not wish to bother you, thank you, MarioNovi (talk) 06:25, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Would you like to start that discussion, you can give me the link, it will be educational for me. Thank you, MarioNovi (talk) 04:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Beyond the Black Rainbow

Greetings... Thanks for your helpful editing in the Beyond the Black Rainbow article. I noticed you added some reviews to the "Reception" section. I wrote down the BtBR reviews of a number of major magazine / newspapers in the article's talk page. You mind giving them a look sometime? Musicaindustrial (talk) 13:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. Musicaindustrial (talk) 12:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

RSN

Hi NinjaRobotPirate. Thanks for your comments in the section on WP:RSN regarding the website 'movie-collection.com'. Whilst I am considering the possibility that your assessment is true, I am currently not convinced due to the reasons I have mentioned in my reply to your comment. I'm not sure if you watch the page or if you just stop by it from time to time like I do, so I thought I'd let you know I have replied to you comment on your talk page, as I am somewhat eager to find out if this source can be used or not. I'm going to wait for at least a third opinion anyway (or ask for one if nobody else drops in on the conversation) before deciding on whether or not to use the source, i'd just appreciate if you could take my comments into consideration when you look at the source again. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 01:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

No, I don't watch the page. Thanks for the note. It's probably a good idea to get more opinions, because I'm certainly no expert. However, the site seems quite suspicious to me, and I didn't see any obvious source listed for their content. That immediately set off warning bells, as well as the broken English. Sometimes you can find citations for awards on the website for the organization, but it's often very difficult to find citations for nominations. I've found local newspapers to be helpful in that respect (for example, the Toronto Sun for the Toronto International Film Festival). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:28, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice and comments. Freikorp (talk) 06:32, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks much

Thank you for the helpful copy-edits to Fucking Machines, much appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 19:21, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Appropriate external links

Hey NinjaRobotPirate. I saw your post on my talk page, and was wondering which rules the links broke. The website I linked to has a huge amount of information on collectibles, particularly for many that are hard to research. —Preceding undated comment added 19:45, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Drowning Girl/archive1

As the WP:PR reviewer, I was hoping you might care to comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Drowning Girl/archive1.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

You are invited for discussion

Hello,

As one of the participants in the original discussion, you are invited to participate in the follow-up discussion to a Mass removal of indefinite rangeblocks under controlled conditions. Your views will be appreciated.

Cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 06:45, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

NPOVs

Thanks for bringing the FDFW article to my attention. Definitely a hit piece. I tried to tone it down and dial it back to neutral. Jaytwist (talk) 20:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

The Story of a Small Town

Merger of Small Town Story (song) was reverted. So I created another discussion. Feel free to comment in talk page. --George Ho (talk) 06:53, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Trayvon Martin

I'd appreciate if you would take another look at the RfC discussion on the Shooting of Trayvon Martin. In your 16 August post, you said that your recommendation for the RfC would depend on what additional information was presented. I proposed specific text for consideration shortly afterward in the discussion thread that I hope you will comment on. Dezastru (talk) 20:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Pixar Theory

As the concept of a Pixar Universe preceded the Negroni thesis by a decade, I seek your opinion about THIS. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 20:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps I can fold my little sourced article into the main topic Pixar and we'd have a suitable redirect target for The Pixar Theory? Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 22:11, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with a merge. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Gladiators events.

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atlaspheres, I have deleted all of the listed articles. I have also proposed to merge List of American Gladiators events with List of Gladiators UK events, as the materials onthose pages are largely duplicative. Based on your participation in the deletion discussion, you may also wish to participate in the merge discussion. Cheers! bd2412 T 23:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Gladiator (1986 film)

I wish to let you know that "substantial" is NOT a requirement of WP:SIGCOV. Per that guideline, and accepted by WP:NFF, "significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. User:Taylor Trescott provided some quite decent, non-trivial sources, meeting the definition under SIGCOV. Article improvement is now underway and I am myself looking for more. Best, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: Sorcerer Barnstar

Hello, sorry that I couldn't get back earlier to you, I've been busy writing my master's thesis but now I officially graduated! So thank you for your kind words and I'll try contribute even more! Salt The Fries 86 (talk) 19:06, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Bradley Manning/October 2013 move request

Greetings. Because you participated in the August 2013 move request regarding this subject, you may be interested in participating in the current discussion. This notice is provided pursuant to Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:41, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Deletion review

Ninja, There's a deletion review for the Nathaniel Raymond article. Your comments at the AfD are discussed. Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2013_October_17 DavidinNJ (talk) 21:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that. I'm tempted to just ignore it and let the drama play out without my involvement, but I may comment if I can think of something civil and relevant to add. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:11, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I got the notification that you had deleted my contribution to the Geena Davis Institute for gender representation and read your comments. I understand why you took down my article, however I did that for a project and worked really hard on it. The deadline was 12/13 and if I don't at least have a screenshot of my post I won't be able to get credit for it. If you somehow have the revision history I would highly appreciate it if you could send me pictures of the post or email it to me. Thank you kindly DanielleFiandaca (talk) 06:40, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

@DanielleFiandaca: it's there in the article history. You can access it through this link. If that won't work for you, I can undo my edit for a few days. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Information request.

On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sortable list of Attorneys-General of Australia, I have requested some information from you, (should you be in the mood to provide it). Thanks in advance, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

First off, I'd like to apologize for giving you any potential stress related to Wikipedia, as I see that you're already on a Wikibreak. My comments in that discussion were not meant as criticism of your actions, but I see now that they could easily be taken that way. Wikipedia can be arcane and bureaucratic, and investigating its inner workings can only lead to disillusionment. I can understand wanting to avoid bureaucracy and overly critical people, but Wikipedia has tightened its rules on article creation over the years. When I said that consensus should have been sought, what I meant was to bring up a discussion on the talk page of the original article. WP:BRD is not policy, but it's a helpful essay on this situation. Basically, editors are encouraged to make bold changes to articles (such as making tables sortable), but when other editors take exception to those changes, the matter should be brought up for discussion on the talk page. One possible route is through a request for comments, where uninvolved editors are solicited for opinions. I can help you with that, if you'd like, but it might be easier to just make a suggestion and see what other people think. Maybe the person who reverted the edit has changed his/her mind or lost interest in the article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:27, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

What a remarkably civil reply! Thank you!! As is often the case, it's past bedtime here - I'll reply further tomorrow. Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:36, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Request to reconsider your AfD

Hello, you recently created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roedy Green (2nd nomination). I have re-written the article Roedy Green and think that many of the concerns you mentioned at the AfD may have been addressed. If you have a moment, please review the new version of the article and revisit your !vote at the AfD if your mind has changed. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:31, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Honestly, and with all due respect for your work at locating sources and rewriting the article, I have the same concerns as PeteBaltar and Green Cardamom. I would feel better about changing my vote if, instead of multiple clams of debatable significance, the article offered a single strong claim to notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Scope and title for Bisexuality in the Arab world

During the recent AfD for Bisexuality in the Arab world (closed as 'keep') you will either have seen opinions expressed to expand the scope of the article, or voiced that opinion yourself. I am placing this notice on the talk pages of all who expressed an opinion of whatever type in that deletion discussion to invite you to participate in a discussion on article scope and title at Talk:Bisexuality in the Arab world. You are cordially invited to participate. By posting this message I am not seeking to influence your opinion one way or another. Fiddle Faddle 10:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Request

I would like to ask that you review and comment on this proposal on the Talk:Captain_Phillips_(film) page. Thanks - thewolfchild 19:32, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for your kind comments here. Apparently I posted my review request in the wrong forum. In any case, due to the bullying in question from the other user and the various sockpuppets supporting him, I have elected to depart WP for the time being. Unfortunately, it just doesn't appear I am able to participate in the Ronan Farrow entry without becoming subject to intense abuse by the other editor and an evolving cast of sockpuppets. In any case, the reason I really wanted to comment is to let you know that the "other registered user" the editor in question kept referencing as also decrying my edits as disruptive has just been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet (the ninth so far) so your instinct was correct and I thank you much for expressing it. I hope someday someone has the courage to address the very strange behavior occurring in that entry by an established editor and an almost endless string of socks ... I thought it was me, but - alas - it's not. King regards, BlueSalix (talk) 02:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

As an independent, longtime Wikipedia editor with a constructive reputation, unaffiliated with the socks in any way, I need to point out that despite BlueSalix's self-serving assertions, no one ever "bullied" him or subjected him to "intense abuse." Those are false accusations, and serious ones. The Ronan Farrow talk-page discussions are available for anyone to read, as are, via history, posts BlueSalix deleted on his own talk page.

Additionally, BlueSalix has just taken a highly in appropriate action in asking admin Someguy1212 here to roll back Ronan Farrow to his own preferred version as an end-run to avoid other editors and an RfC that was going against him. Many of Blue Salix's own edits have been biased, one-sided attacking edits that clearly appear to be based on his own personal disagreements with the article subject's politics. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:33, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Notice on Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia

Hello, I would like to inform you that a requested move proposal has been started on the Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia talk page. I have sent you this message since you are a user who has participated in one or more of these discussions. Thank you for reading this message. --Super Goku V (talk) 07:28, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

List of Zombie Films

Hi, I have swept through the List of zombie films and added references. Please take a look as well as the Disputed section in talk. Thanks. -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:24, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw. Good job. I got bored and moved on after I found references for what I considered to be the most important films. I'd hold off on moving more films out of this master list, as I'm going to try to get everything merged into it; however, you're free to do what you will, of course. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:30, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Removing outside wiki site from Shroud of the Avatar

Just stopping back in to reference you two different articles that offer validity to http://sotawiki.net/ - Both coming from the Shroud of the Avatar main site: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=34637 and https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=34688. Let me know when you're ready to acknowledge this site and it's validity as it is 100% in accordance with all wikipedia rules that I can find. Alternatively please point me to the rule that shows it should not be listed. Thanks!

Bold words response

That time, I had to link shadow somewhere. If you'd like to link it to any other shadow on the Shadow person page, go right ahead. Rtkat3 (talk) 3:57, December 9 2013 (UTC)

Sure, there's nothing wrong with linking to shadow, but it breaks the Manual of Style to link bold words. Preferably, the next occurrence should be linked. Per WP:OVERLINK, I usually don't bother to link common English words, but it's not a big deal. 21:22, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

The Frankenstein Theory

That wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen. Karl was pretty cool--pity he died off-camera. Drmies (talk) 19:43, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I really disliked it the first time I watched it. When I had trouble remembering the plot details, I rewatched it, and I liked it significantly more that time. I agree – Karl was pretty cool. After I worked on that article, I debated creating articles on Timothy V. Murphy and Joe Egender, but I couldn't find any good sources, and it's difficult to make the argument that they're movie stars. Oh well. Some day. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:36, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
