Lord Laitinen

 * Thanks for letting me know. It just annoys me how some IP user has the gall to erase my photos.  There were no just grounds for erasing either of the photos which I keep replacing, and I made it clear to those editors to stop.  P.S. - I warned the other users to leave my photographs alone, and it was them who kept reverting my edits.   Lord Laitinen (talk)  16:35, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for getting in touch. I don't believe the other editor was an IP user, but even if they were it wouldn't matter. When an argument about content occurs here, unless there are policy violations (obvious vandalism, copyright infringement, etc.) the best practice is to communicate with the editor you're in opposition with, either on their Talk page or at the Talk page for the article where the dispute is occurring. If you can't reach a consensus on your own, there are other options.
 * If other editors are deleting your content, I recommend assuming good faith and asking them about it rather than starting a confrontation. It takes two to edit-war, and in the end unless there is a policy violation going on, you're just as responsible for reinserting your material as the other editor is for removing it.
 * I hope this helps. Keep cool and let things work themselves out. DonIago (talk) 18:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Films Featuring Time Loops
Hi Doniago! This article combines two of my favorite things -Time travel and Movies. I believe there are a lot of movies missing from this list. I see you've reverted two of the inclusions I've made. I'd really appreciate it if you explained how I could do it right so I can add to the article fruitfully. The nature of the movies themselves warrant an inclusion in the list. Apart from that, some of the other movies have similar sources e.g. Rotten Tomatoes and they're still on this list. Thank you!

 * Hi Faefire,
 * Firstly, please note that new Talk page threads should generally be placed at the bottom of the page. Thanks!
 * With regards to the article, as the lead of it discusses, each entry should include a reliable source as a means of establishing that the time looping aspect of it attracted attention from someone other than, say, a Wikipedia editor. Wikipedia articles should not include indiscriminate lists of items, so we include the sources to demonstrate significance. The sources that you included were a forum and a page written by someone that was not subjected to editorial oversight. These are both self-published sources, and consequently are not considered reliable for our purposes and should not be used in citations. We're looking for sources subject to peer review or editorial oversight such as a professional newspaper or magazine or website that is not based on user-submitted content.
 * While Rotten Tomatoes would not establish significance in and of itself (unless perhaps it had an article discussing films with time loops), in the entries I reviewed where RT came up, at least one additional source was provided as well. If you have concerns about any of the other entries, you're welcome to discuss them at the article's Talk page, or could even be bold and remove them. You're also welcome to ask me about them and I'll take a look.
 * Hope this helps! Thanks for getting in touch with your concerns! DonIago (talk) 04:26, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

track listing on Godzilla
Hi. I was wondering what section of the MOS you were referring to on the Godzilla 2014 page for removing the tracks? Alaney2k (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * MOS:FILM - "Track listings for film scores are generally discouraged since the score is usually composed by one person and the score's tracks are generic descriptions of scenes from the film. Noteworthy tracks from the film score can be identified and discussed in prose." DonIago (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Wasn't sure where to look. Alaney2k (talk) 18:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem! Happy editing! DonIago (talk) 18:45, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

John Holmes
Hello, I got the information from Dawn Schiller's Facebook page. Dawn was one of John's exes and she was also friends with Sharon. Can I use an FB page as a citation though? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.188.73.197 (talk) 10:04, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure whether Facebook constitutes a reliable source for this sort of information. I'd check at the link. There's also a noticeboard for sources if you need additional guidance. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 12:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Question about June 2013 MOS change
Hey Doniago, I was researching an addition about Parental Ratings to MOS:TV and noticed that you added the final text here. Your summary, "add Parental ratings per Talk". I've noticed some backlash at List of programs broadcast by Adult Swim and I was hoping to track down the discussion that led to this change, for my edification. Can you help me out? Much obliged, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:23, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Here you go! DonIago (talk) 04:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Pinch Compromise
Undoing the link to the wrong term. If you insist of using a slang term for the device I suggest you fix the link to the correct term,. I suggest you modify the title of the article z-pinch to be "Pinch" (device) and then recreate the link from the article to point to it. This should have been addressed when someone created the article to begin with but someone got lazy when the wrote it. They should have known something was wrong when the couldn't find the term pinch.

And yes since you asked, Yes if you want a reliable source.. I am an actual plasma physicist at Caltech, if you'd like I can post about 1000 articles to you personal webpage to substantiate my claim. Put here's five just to make you happy (Use Ebsco to look up the articles if that will help..I included the link under the first article): http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/8687397/history-z-pinch-research-u-s

 * As far as modifying the title of an article, you're welcome to raise that matter at the article's Talk page. I know next to nothing about electricity and/or plasma physics and consequently am not in a position to have an opinion on the matter.
 * Because Ocean's 11 is a film, we cannot assume that technologies presented in it are necessarily intended to reflect specific real-world tech. To avoid synthesis we would need a source that specifically mentions the film. Otherwise to refer to anything other than what's brought up in the film itself would be original research. In other words, we should use the terminology presented by the film unless we have compelling reasons to do otherwise.
 * That said, as I mentioned, if other editors support your changes then I have no problems abiding by consensus.
 * Lastly, please note that when posting to Talk pages you should add 4 tildes (~) to the end of your posts as a signature. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Fixed the hyperlink to go to the right article. Still uses the term "pinch" as a slang term, but it redirects to z-pinch, which if you notice has a nice picture of what you are visualizing.  The Z-pinch article has also been modified to mention the slang term.
 * Please note that by Wikipedia rules if you do not know about the technology being referred to...that clinically an admin can charge you for both vandalism of an article as well as ownership of an article
 * They really can't, and I'm betting you can't back that up with a link to the relevant policy. DonIago (talk) 02:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually they can the policy is posted regarding vandalism...on the good note they cant penalize you for an occasional misunderstanding like here....you admitted you were unfamiliar at the time and were willing to work a compromise which you appear to be okay with the final modification.....you do have an occasional admin that will "drill" you for it but that can be fixed by usually going to another admin and having that admin do an arbitration.
 * With all due respect, if I'm interpreting your statements about policy correctly, they are not consistent with my understanding of policy. Given that it seems likely I've been editing here much longer than you have, you'll have to forgive me if I take your claims with a bit of salt. DonIago (talk) 03:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually you haven't been editing longer, I'm just being to lazy to log into my admin account, over something this stupid. But since you insist your right I'm going to request a review of your other articles you've edited to see what you've been modifying.
 * (laughs) Okie-doke. Knock yourself out. DonIago (talk) 03:29, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

So how's that review working out for you? Oh, right, you haven't requested one yet. Well, I look forward to seeing the outcome; please keep me in the loop! DonIago (talk) 13:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Pretty good actually. Notice the head admin edited the article again.  He's going to go back and look all your faulty edits too.  LOL  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.180.88.186 (talk) 01:20, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Its not often you see Floquenbeam making a guest appearance and having to fix your article. Its always nice when he tells you in his nice subtle way that the stuff you put is WRONG.   LMAO  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.180.88.186 (talk) 01:34, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Given that the term pinch isn't referenced at all now, I don't know what you're talking about. Also Floquenbeam wasn't acting as an admin, and isn't a "head" admin in any case, whatever that's supposed to mean. He certainly doesn't seem to have supported your edits in any case. (shrug) Have a nice day! DonIago (talk) 04:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, how's that arbitration request working out for you? DonIago (talk) 04:12, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Which is what I said to do all along. Or did you seem to forget I said don't link to the wrong info.  So actually yes actually he did.  I couldn't give a rats back side about the movie I cared about the wrong physics term being referenced.
 * by the way if you don't think Flo isn't a admin then report him...LMAO.......find out for sure...LOL...go ahead go up against him and call him out... or better yet get another admin and ask them to change what he put and watch what happens.....you'll find out exactly  how "big" Flo is
