AfD nomination of Tornado (robot)

An editor has nominated Tornado (robot), 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/Tornado (robot) 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) 23:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dinosaur King

[1] 1. What valid point is this? 2. How does that have anything to do with the organization, which is unclear? WhisperToMe (talk) 17:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For point 1, the valid point was the removing of Aki's name, which is stated (specifically, in the Seismosaurus episode). For point 2, the page seems better organised now anyway, so we needn't go on too much. CBFan (talk) 17:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well, all you needed to do was cite the episode :) - Use the <ref> and </ref> to create references. - See the talk page WhisperToMe (talk) 17:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you. I thought they were the actual names so I reverted your edit. DinoQueen13 (talk) 11:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hey there - on the List of Crash Bandicoot characters page, the following line appears: Ripper Roo's voice consists of sound clips of the hyena's laughter in Disney's 1955 film Lady and the Tramp.

Now, I'm no expert on CB, nor on Disney, but I don't recall a hyena in Lady and the Tramp. Since you're my resident subject matter expert, can you confirm that (and source it?) or remove it? I know you didn't put it in there, but you're the only person I know to ask!

Thanks! - Philippe 16:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answer-There IS a hyena in "Lady and the Tramp". He appears during the scene when Lady and Tramp visit the zoo to attempt to remove Lady's muzzle. After they have a rather unsuccessful attempt with an alligator, he is shown laughing at them. There's your answer. One hyena in one certain movie. CBFan (talk) 17:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, learn something new every day. Thanks! - Philippe 23:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However, in order to say "X sounds like Y" you will need a source. If a press source stating this cannot be located and the similarity is not obviously deliberate, such a statement would be Wikipedia:Original research. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:45, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you telling me that? Wouldn't it make more sense to tell this to the person who put it in the first place? CBFan (talk) 09:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Komodo lover

Do you have anything to add? See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Komodo lover (10th) and my new addition to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Komodo lover. EdJohnston (talk) 01:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've added everything I need to until the next sockpuppet shows up. CBFan (talk) 12:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, just whanna ask you something?

Yeah hello, I'm just woundering were did radical say Coco was only playable on wii & XB 360? Could you, I don't know answer me?--84.9.197.245 (talk) 11:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC) PS. You know the Sierra forum, I'm just Saying you realy like the thought of Coco with a wedgie. Like your "dream quotes" she said she had a Wedgie & the Coco's secret mission idea, She Praticly ask's Crash to wedgie her instead of standing there. You know you should write a story of Coco getting multiple wedgies from Crash, Nina, Crunch & over characters the post it on the forum or on [2]. --84.9.197.245 (talk) 11:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's remember civility in edit summaries, okay? [3] is not acceptable. - Philippe 17:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but that guy has been vandalising Wikipedia by adding false information for ages now, and he just isn't getting it. CBFan (talk) 17:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. But, as your mother might say "that's no excuse to be rude to him." Remember, our page histories are forever. :-) - Philippe 17:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying it's an excuse or not. It's just he's been warned and blocked before...his IP is one of those drifters. CBFan (talk) 19:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wanna Help?

Let's prove AMIB, Rob, TTN, etc. wrong! I'm recruiting users like you to help me out in fixing the outrage. Can you help? User:SLJCOAAATR 1/Sandbox/Template:Sonic Characters Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 20:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Storm 2

I'll ignore the civility issue for now and go straight to the point. Please do not re-direct the page again. I've changed it enough from the Robot Wars wikia. If you feel the article needs a re-write, I invite you to re-write it! But please, stop the aggressiveness and help build the article to an acceptable standard. John Sloan (talk) 15:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I've done a minor re-write on the introduction. John Sloan (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is still not good enough. It is a C'n'P first and foremost. As I said on the article itself, I encourage you to read the articles for the other robots that have them and develop Storm 2 from that. It'll be so much better. In fact, I think ALL of Storm 2's fights are on YouTube, so doing a battle report should be easy enough. CBFan (talk) 16:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-written the fight section to conform with the others on Wikipedia. I'll do the fight-reports another time (have to go offline now). Cheers John Sloan (talk) 16:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:

What the hell are you smoking CBF? I don't vandalise,and you know it. _Skeletal SLJCOAAATR ^{Soul teh Hedgie} 21:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you clearly are vandalising, and it's blatantly obvious you're vandalising, because you insist on adding false information to pages. Last I checked, that's vandalising. CBFan (talk) 21:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't added false info. I'm removing non-notable info. I'm starting with more recent happenings. _Skeletal SLJCOAAATR ^{Soul teh Hedgie} 21:28, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But you're NOT removing "non-notable info", you're removing info you refuse to believe as correct. If you HAD been removing it, you wouldn't be telling lies. And it clearly is false info, because you're insistant that "Stepney hasn't been seen since Season 7". That's clearly a lie because he was seen in Season 12. And when you rave about how "cameos are not notable", it STILL fails because his S6/7 appearances WERE cameo. CBFan (talk) 21:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good news

I could no longer bear to handle StevenMario's disruptive posts, so I did something that should have been done a long time ago: Report him. WikiLubber (talk) 04:02, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. The evidence was not enough. WikiLubber (talk) 04:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep trying, he's becoming more and more obnoxious. CBFan (talk) 09:18, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say it's vandalism per se...

...but any additional edits to the MK article to say that it's during Armageddon are definitely eligible for rollback. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:31, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 17:36, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What, so "This doesn't need to exist because other celebrity talent shows don't have it" isn't a valid reason? It seems like a perfectly valid reason to me. CBFan (talk) 17:38, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That would be entirely WP:OSE- what is done on other articles does not dictate what is done on these articles. Please discuss rather continuing to remove things you don't agree with. Magitroopa (talk) 17:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why should I discuss it when you don't even read what I wrote? I clearly gave what I considered a valid reason, and you deliberately ignored it and claimed I didn't. CBFan (talk) 17:41, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two different editors have already reverted your removals at this point- WP:BRD should be followed. "Other TV celebrity talent show pages don't have it." clearly falls under WP:OSE.

These massive removals should not just be decided to be entirely removed- instead, they should actually be discussed rather than continuing to remove them just because you don't like/agree with it. Masem has just started a discussion here, feel free to comment/discuss the issue there. Magitroopa (talk) 17:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Except the first editor is the one who added them in the first place, and the second editor, you, deliberately ignored my reasoning by saying I'd put nothing at all when I clearly had. CBFan (talk) 17:53, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at The Masked Singer (British TV series), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 21:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know what we need to do here. We have all the information we need to start the article. You're a member of the Masked Singer wiki/fandom, right? You've seen all the information. Why not ask people there where they got the information, search it out and then recreate it here? It sounds simple, right? CBFan (talk) 06:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
