Speedy deletion nomination of Greds6
Hello MorbidEntree,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Greds6 for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Xx236 (talk) 10:03, 18 May 2016 (UTC) Greds6 is a potential Wikipedia page, you are User:Greds6, which is something different.Xx236 (talk) 10:05, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh wow, that's embarrassing. I was certain that I put that on the user page and not the wiki page. --MorbidEntree (talk) 10:08, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

FS Class 310
Hello. I saw your review on the page I created; for that, I used a pattern similar to the one I utilized for pages with similar subjects (Italian steam locomotives). I'd like to ask wheter you mean that the article needs further citations, as I may have erroneusly put too few of them to not crowd the reference section, or it needs further sources. Also, I want to ask how much you think the article is too technical, and how it could be fixed. Italianhistorian88 (talk) 15:15, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, Italianhistorian88. I marked it as needing more citation because of the many unsourced statements made in that article. One of these would be "The round-topped boiler on the first 49 units was a pretty standard one;" in the "Design and Construction" section. And for the too technical tag, that was regarding the sidebar that seems to be a bit too overwhelming for the average reader. As for how to fix these, just add references that back up the statements like the one I presented here and perhaps try and find a way to explain some of the terms and measurements in a way that most people could potentially get a grasp on. --MorbidEntree (talk) 15:53, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer. The information about the technical details and the service of the locomotives are all in the pages of the books I've quoted; I refrained to put separate notes for each paragraph because it would have meant adding a bit of "ibidem", and I don't like it. But I can add them nonetheless. As for the sidebar, it's part of the standard template developed by Wikipedia (you can see it here: Template:Infobox locomotive), and it's used for pretty much all locomotive articles; in any case, I believe that enough basic data is provided for the average reader (years and numbers of units built, link to wheelbase meaning, power output, maximum speed allowed, etc.), while the other are useful for railway-minded readers who wish to know more details.Italianhistorian88 (talk) 16:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, sorry about that. It just looked to be nearly incomprehensible from my point of view. You can go ahead and remove the tags. --MorbidEntree (talk) 16:24, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No, thank you. I strive to try and make my articles as well as I can, and I can learn from the mistakes I make only by watching any reviews they receive. In any case, I have reworded the section about the boiler, as it was not clear what I wished to express. Thank you again. Italianhistorian88 (talk) 16:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

article flagged for speedy deletion
Hi the article you signaled for speedy deletion is just a draft, that was not submitted for review, the festival has an extensive media coverage spanning 4 years that can prove its notability please allow me the time to properly finish the article and submit it for reivew

Meridian00 (talk) 16:15, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't see anything saying that it was a WIP. I've removed the nomination for deletion. --MorbidEntree (talk) 16:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

William Allison Shimer
Thank you for reviewing the new article about William Allison Shimer. You tagged the article as needing more footnotes, and as having insufficient inline citations. Since everything in the body of the article is sourced by at least one footnote, I assume you are directing your comments at the lead paragraph, which doesn't have footnotes.

The lead is a summary of the body of the article and does not require footnotes except in particular specified circumstances. In this regard, please see Citing sources:


 * "Citations are often omitted from the lead section of an article, insofar as the lead summarizes information for which sources are given later in the article, although quotations and controversial statements, particularly if about living persons, should be supported by citations even in the lead."

Also, please see Manual of Style/Lead section:


 * "The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article."

In addition, please see the recent discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section, in which the consensus clearly opposes any requirement to include footnotes for noncontroversial, unquoted content in the lead, and many editors note that unnecessary footnotes in the lead impair the readability of articles. In the Shimer article, the lead merely summarizes noncontroversial factual information that is set forth, on a section by section basis, in the body of the article. In light of all this, I'd respectfully like to suggest that you revert your tags concerning the lead. If you have other comments about the article, of course, I would be very appreciative to know them. Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:58, 20 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I apologise for that. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia and I'm still learning all the rules. I'll go ahead and revert my tags on that article. Again, sorry about that. --MorbidEntree (talk) 08:49, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem. There are lots of guidelines, and I suspect that no one knows all of them.  Thanks very much for your efforts on behalf of Wikipedia. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:41, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Help with getting total edit number
I'm looking for a way to automatically get the number of edits that I have contributed. Preferably a template of some kind since I want to incorporate it into my user space. Is there any way to do this or is it essentially impossible using Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MorbidEntree (talk • contribs) 04:52, 24 May 2016‎ (UTC)
 * There is no way to auto-generate your total edit count as a template to place on your userpage. Sorry. Primefac (talk) 05:21, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Darn, looks like I'll have to just manually update it every once in a while then --MorbidEntree (talk) 06:13, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Help With Article
hey i would like more time with my page Dre  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OVO40 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are not done with writing the article then you should move it to the Draft namespace and add  to the top of the page instead of  . --MorbidEntree (talk) 20:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * okay can you tell me the reason why you marked this celebrity page? this is my page by the way Noah_"40"_Shebib — Preceding unsigned comment added by OVO40 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I tagged it because there is nothing stating what the importance of the person is beyond that he's a rapper. See WP:MUSIC. --MorbidEntree (talk) 21:11, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * hmm. but number 10. stated "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc." the article says "Dre’s debut single “Love More” was released in 2011. The song created quite a buzz and became part of the Radio Disney program. http://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/drerichkidd.html and verified by twitter https://twitter.com/famousbirthdays — Preceding unsigned comment added by OVO40 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * In that case, he may be notable. But, you will need better source since Twitter is not a reliable source. --MorbidEntree (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * got you, i understand. so is there a way you can move my page to draft as i work on this? i dont want it to be deleted. and i dont see a "move option" — Preceding unsigned comment added by OVO40 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, I have moved it to Draft:Dre Rich Kid and I have put the correct template on top for you. Feel free to ask anything else or comment. --MorbidEntree (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Right to disconnect
Hi. Thank you for reviewing right to disconnect. Shortly after I wrote this stub, you tagged it with:



To me, this feels pretty aggressive. Wouldn't it be better to, for example, categorize the article instead of tagging it as uncategorized? Or add a few links to it instead of marking it as orphaned? --MZMcBride (talk) 16:59, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realise that it was a brand new page like that. I've added a few categories. --MorbidEntree (talk) 17:48, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --MZMcBride (talk) 01:09, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

List of natural horror films
but doesn't the page need citations to prove that the movies are real and they feature those monsters? also, there are many wikipedia pages that use imdb --24.184.132.160 (talk) 21:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * No, the article that the entry of the list links to has references and details there. So putting references on the list page is redundant. --MorbidEntree (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Eugeniusz Hejka
Hello. Just an FYI that I took the COI tag off of the page Eugeniusz Hejka. You were right to put it there as it appears that one of his children or grandchildren is editing the page. However, everything they added is entirely correct according to my research (checking references in the article and another related article). I warned them nicely not to edit the article and to leave it to uninvolved parties. The story behind this guy is truly horrendous: he was already in Auschwitz, and tried to have a letter smuggled out as part of an escape effort by someone else. The Nazis found the letter and subjected 1300 prisoners to a standing roll call for twenty (20!) hours, beating them as it progressed. Then the article subject gets sentenced to death with the others... but lives to tell the tale. What a terrible story, In any case I hope you will accept my removal of the COI tag. I'm imagining that anyone in a family with that in their history is probably prety sensitive about it. I'll keep an eye on the article. thanksHappyValleyEditor (talk) 07:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I support the removal of the tag. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to be a problem or anything and I appreciate that E.hejka created the article for their very notable family member. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 07:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Meyers Manx Page
Hi MorbidEntree, I am frustrated that you keep changing my edits for to reasons: 1. I am citing the website that is run by the company itself, and an off-shoot of that company. The histories on these sites were written by Bruce Meyers himself, who is the inventor of the Meyers Manx and the whole reason we are having this problem. 2. The corrections I am making are at Bruce's request. I work with his 5 days a week and I read the Wiki page to him. He was very upset that there was so much inaccurate information, and I am only trying to fix it. Apparently providing accurate info with legit sources isn't the right way to do this, so if you could let me know how to make the changes stick, I am all ears.

I would also like to add the James Hale published his Dune Buggy Handbook without Bruce's knowledge or consent for how it represented facts about Bruce and his company. If you are using Mr. Hale's book as a guideline for how you control page edits, you are using bad information. Please contact me. I want to clear this up with you so that together we can provide the most accurate and factual representation of Bruce Meyers and is invention, the Meyers Manx. Please message me or email Meyers Manx. You can even call our office and speak with Bruce himself!


 * The problem with your edits is that they do not adhere to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy as they are coming from someone (you) who has personal connections to the subject of the article. Also, the website of the company is not a reliable source since it is likely to not be neutral, like a 3rd party news article would be. I'm sorry if this frustrates you, but these are the policies and they are necessary to keep Wikipedia as a neutral encyclopedia. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 19:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Adding links to navbar
Is there a way for me to add a link to the top navbar? By the top navbar, I mean the one at the top of every page that has links to your user page, user talk page, sandbox, etc. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 19:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Since that navbar is on every page anyway, there's not much of a need to link to it on its own, and since it's an integral component of tme MediaWiki software, you cannot link to it without linking to some page on which it is put. If you just want to have a link that points to the top of a page, User talk:MorbidEntree should do the trick (though ironically it seems to link to the place just below the navbar, not to the very top). Huon (talk) 22:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I just learned that there's also User_talk:MorbidEntree which really points to the very top. That should serve the purpose. Huon (talk) 22:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the answer, but I was looking for a way to add another navigation link to the top, not just a link to click that will take me to the top of the page. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 23:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I completely misunderstood the question. Customizing the navbar is possible but rather complicated; I believe you'd need to make use of JavaScript to do so. User scripts gives some details and links to specific scripts you could probably modify for your purpose. Huon (talk) 00:13, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Face-smile.svg Thank you very much! I'll definitely be looking into this. It'll actually give some of my ideas I have a chance at reality. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 00:30, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Help choosing infobox
I'm looking for an accurate infobox to use on an article for a power plant that's attached to a dam. I couldn't find one for power plants. What's the most accurate infobox to use? --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 04:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I think Template:Infobox dam is appropriate. Per the template page, "Use the following infobox for all types of hydroelectric power stations involving dams." Sn1per (talk) 05:01, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but as the page for that template says, the template Infobox power station is more appropriate because the power station is a pumped-storage as stated here http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Powerplant.jsp?fac_Name=San+Luis+(William+R.+Gianelli)+Powerplant+*. But thank you for your suggestion. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 06:25, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Soz.
That section I made? I didn't know how to delete it, or even if it was possible. Just lambasting it as 'vandalism' makes the situation worse.

Obviously, I thought I might have offended catmandowhateverhisnameis, but obviously, I've accidentially dug myself into a bigger hole trying to clear up my act.

Sorry, the 'vandalism' was accidental.Hullian111 (talk) 07:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The vandalism wasn't the removal, it was the original addition of that section that constitutes vandalism. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 07:26, 29 May 2016 (UTC)


 * But I deleted it, I did the right thing, and in my mind, cleaning up vandalism that I came to regret immediately does not constitute a warning. Hullian111 (talk) 10:00, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gianelli Power Plant, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MW.

Using an image I found on Twitter
I want to use an image that I found on Twitter. Can I do this? And if so, which copyright license do I select when uploading it? --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 16:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Um, it depends on what kind of image it it, and for what purpose. In most cases (99%) I'd say, it would not be ok to upload at all. Some images, such as logos, album covers, and movie posters where no free (of copyright) alternative version can be created or licened, a low resolution can be uploaded locally to the English Wikipedia under the premice of WP:Fair use. However, if it is a photo of a person, where another free (of copyright) image can be produced or released, then that image must be licensed and released by the copyright owner (mot likely the photographer), under a free license, compatible with Wikimedia Commons' license policies. You can not just select a license - the copyrightowner is the one that has the release it under a free licnese. (t) Josve05a  (c) 17:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hm, well I have two images. One is of a Dalek that someone owns and posted a picture of (I assume I would need a copyright release for this one) and the second is a picture of a person that is famous that they posted. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 17:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, for the first image (the Dalek), it is a complicated situation. You both need the photographer to relase the image under a free license, as well as the BBC, since it is a derivative work of their intelectual property (3D-artwork). As for the second image, you'd need the photographer to license the image under a free license (see link above). You can not just use the image on Wikipedia, since all content need to be freely licensed (except some fair use images where no other alterative can be made/found/released). (t) Josve05a  (c) 17:14, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, but how can I prove that they give permission? Would I need to provide emails? Or would they have to make a public announcement about it? --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) 17:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Either they can make a public announcement that they license the image under a specific license and then follow the license reviw procedures on Wikimedia Commons, or they can send in an email to the email volunteer response team; see c:COM:OTRS and Donating copyrighted materials. (t) Josve05a  (c) 17:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
