Disambiguation link notification for April 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arlen Ness, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Knucklehead. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, thanks for the e-mail. I've read it, but I can't reply right now because I'm going out (on my own) in 10 mins and my dad is fussing like mad. I'll reply when I get back. Thank you :) Linguist talk&#124; contribs  09:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Sorry about that, mate. I do get you point on not customising navboxes though, especially if it gets too distracting or unnecessary like the navbox for a Filipino singing contest or GTA at one time. That's where reverting it to a more standardised design comes in. Blake Gripling (talk) 23:14, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Harley-Davidson: Wheels of Freedom
Hello. I appreciated your contribution to the Harley-Davidson: Race Across America page that I initiated. I would like to ask for you contribution again for the newly created page, "Harley-Davidson: Wheels of Freedom". I look forward to reading your content. Thanks!

Orphaned non-free image File:Sony Vegas 13 icon.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Sony Vegas 13 icon.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Harley-Davidson: Race Around the World
"Third times a charm, eh?", I once again initiated another wikipage, Harley-Davidson: Race Around the World. I'm leaving this article in your hands. Thanks. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 01:02, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Sorry my man, since you're a fan of those Harley-Davidson games, I trust that you'll in good faith and good spirits, re-create this article and save it from deletion. Thanks for the support. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 21:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, sorry if I didn't get to you sooner and edited the article; I was a bit preoccupied with countless errands at home lately. Blake Gripling (talk) 21:52, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

No worries, I understand. Yeah, whenever you have spare time, feel free to create the article. I look forward to reading it. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 23:36, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do, though as it stands the games appear to be barely notable. Race Across America and Wheels of Freedom did receive some extensive reviews, but it was by and large a run of the mill, bargin-bin title that didn't gain much notoriety. Blake Gripling (talk) 00:26, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It's okay if you don't end up writing the article, no pressure man. If gamers really want to know about the game they can google it or even purchase the game themselves. Yeah, notability is a very important thing to abide by. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 21:15, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

File:Barbie Fashion Designer MacOS cover.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:16, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run
Last night, I entered the facts of the fan outrage of the movie skipping theatres in the film's article. I used those five YouTube videos from fans expressing disappointment as reliable sources. I also tried to use the petitions from Change.org and Care2 as sources, but for some reason, Wikipedia won't let me. What should I do? -- Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) - 4:08PM - July 16, 2020 —Preceding undated comment added 20:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:UGC, YouTube videos are generally considered as unreliable except in cases where the person or organisation who uploaded it is deemed reliable by the community. To top it all off, unless if you could prove that the outrage has seen widespread news coverage (which it apparently isn't the last time I checked), I doubt that your passage is worth adding at least for now.

 * Fair enough, though as I said on your talk page I tagged the article as it is clearly leaning towards fancruft and is littered with nonfree images. It would have been better if the article was more concise and within the scope of the project as any more intricacies would have to be on a dedicated wiki or explained in brief along with reliable references.

Salbakuta moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Salbakuta, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of .toyota


The article .toyota has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Domain used for the sole purpose of advertising a company. This page could easily be made into a section on the company's page and redirected."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Why the Category:Obscenity controversies in music addition? The article does not mention obscenity or controversy. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 01:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)


 * The song was subject to the Satanic Panic of the 80s which put a great many pop and rock songs under conservatives' crosshairs where they spuriously alleged that the music in question contained diabolical messages. Having such subliminal messaging would have construed some form of obscenity. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * But nothing in the article indicates that in any way. If you've got a WP:RS connecting some "obscenity controversy" (which the Satanic Panic wasn't), and mention it in the article, the category might be suitable; as it is, including the category in that article simply makes the reader grasp for connections that aren't presented at all. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 02:41, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I sourced it from a thesis which in itself was well-cited and contained a LOT of info on the religious/occult obscenity controversies around the time. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:44, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The word "obscenity" does not appear in that thesis at all; the word "obscene" only appears in reference to a 1937 history of witchcraft, in reference to Voodoo. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 14:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

WP:LTA/MRY
I saw that you blanked the whole LTA page of him because of WP:DENY rules. I think I'm starting to do the same thing here with WP:LTA/BMX. When I woke up I went to Wikipedia on my phone and saw one of the revisions of my user talk page got edited by the vandal and an admin had to RevDel it all of a sudden. I've seen enough of this troll, so the only options are to request an MFD nomination for that user, or just completely blank on purpose. I have two questions regarding this matter. 1. What should I do. Is it better that I just blank it or just nominate it through MFD right away? 2. Would it actually help more if I do either of those things? That's all I wanted to ask. Have a great day. kleshkreikne. T 21:41, 19 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Given the fairly blatant vandalism by BMX I'd say blanking and/or MFDing the LTA page would be more advisable; any such noticeboards seem to serve more to give BMX attention and incentivise them into trolling even further. Blake Gripling (talk) 21:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, it's gone now. We all have a few of the most severe cases of LTA's, for example: MRY and SGK. They both will not be as bad this one. This case of LTA has gone off limits now that's it's come to the point where I'm starting to get PTSD because of this. What I've seen from this user has gone too far. Thank you so much, thank God it's gone now. And now I have another question. Would an MFD nomination for his user page and all of his sockpuppets' user pages work, like you did with User:Supreme Genghis Khan work? kleshkreikne. T 22:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It depends I guess. Blake Gripling (talk) 22:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Blakegripling ph Wouldn't notcensored conflict with deleting the lta page? 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ plz edit my user pg! Talk 03:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We have WP:DENY, so... Blake Gripling (talk) 03:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Apparently my page blanking got reverted because it actually hurt more than it helped, the user made death threats to me with an inappropriate username and now because of that, my user talk page got protected for a week. So in my opinion you shouldn’t be too harsh on vandals because this might not help with the vandal either. Before blanking, I think it’s better to form a discussion that meets clear consensus first than do it altogether. See the MRY LTA talk page for further information. kleshkreikne. T 08:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * In that case bring it to the Wikimedia Legal Department as this is definitely crossing the line and should addressed with swiftly. Even if the user does not actually have a credible intent to harm anyone, any and all death threats should be taken SERIOUSLY. Blake Gripling (talk) 08:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should have like an open discussion about the blanking of the LTA pages and how it might help with WP:DENY. See WT:Long-term abuse/My Royal Young for further information. I’m doubtful that it might not be worth it. Apparently we’re also not supposed to courtesy blank LTA pages (per this thread), even if you wanted to do it per deny. It’ll actually gain more recognition to the vandals rather than denying it though. kleshkreikne. T 21:14, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Thanks, Neuropol  Talk  14:03, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * OK, noted. Blake Gripling (talk) 14:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
