October 2011
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Cartoon Network (Latin America), as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 09:01, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Comedy Central Latin America. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Zzarch (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Cartoon Network (Arabic)
Hello,, and thank you for your contributions!


 * This article has been deleted as a copy & paste of Cartoon Network Arabic. If you want to give Cartoon Network Arabic a new title, please move it. Copying and pasting is undesirable, as it separates the article from its history. We need the history to give copyright credit to everyone who helped write the article.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Cartoon Network Studios, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Listed for deletion
Please try to use the edit summary to indicate what you did with the edit. To say "only slight changes did nothing more. just that." is not useful at all. The edit summary is meant to indicate what you did and why. It's especially troublesome since you always say that you do "slight changes" regardless of whether your changes are in fact slight or not. Could you please read at least the first part of Help:Edit summary to gain some understanding of what a useful edit summary would look like? Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 17:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. (Merely repeating the name of the article's title is not helpful to other editors. ) Thanks! Trivialist (talk) 03:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't take this the wrong way, but is English a second language for you? You may be less frustrated editing whichever one of the other Wikipedias is in your native language. Trivialist (talk) 03:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, the edit summary "an infamous bug fix" is not very clear. Trivialist (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ETLamborghini. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Template:Cartoon Network without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. The removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ETLamborghini (talk) 00:16, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Your protection request on List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network (Latin America)
Hello OliverDF. Please see my response here. If you have accurate information about the current program schedule, it would be helpful if you can add a link to the article indicating the source of your information. Otherwise when you and the IP are disputing, it is hard for admins to tell who is correct. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 01:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ahecht. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network (Latin America), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ahecht ( TALK PAGE ) 22:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello. I noticed your edit summaries all seem to be "Minors changes". However, edits like this or this are not. Would you mind changing your edit summaries to something a little less misleading? Cheers, Number   5  7  22:25, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Infobox additions
Hello. When adding an infobox, please do it at the top of the article. Also, all candidates receiving more than 5% of the vote should be included. Cheers, Number   5  7  16:40, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, when you remove links to non-existent articles, please also delete the disambiguator (the "(Dominican Republic)" bit). Thanks, Number   5  7  21:42, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, please add infoboxes at the top of the article, not after the introduction. Also, please do not remove redlinks to political parties that have won seats in parliament – these are notable enough for articles and having a redlink is fine in such cases. Thanks, Number   5  7  22:07, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

It doesn't matter how soon the articles will be created. These are valid redlinks. Also, I am now asking for the third time, please put the infobox at the top of tbe article (and also again, only candidates with over 5% of the vote should be included). Thanks, Number   5  7  00:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Manual changes of party colours
Don't manually change party colours. If you want to change the colour on display, you need to edit the meta template, i.e. Country Alliance (Dominican Republic)/meta/color. Cheers, Number   5  7  17:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Lists of presidents
Hello, Oliver! Since you already created the "Background" section at List of presidents of Bolivia, would you be interested to do the same at List of presidents of Peru, List of presidents of Ecuador and List of heads of state of Paraguay? It would greatly enrich those lists, as is already the case with the Bolivian one. Cheers! --Sundostund (talk) 02:19, 5 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Oli, I was sure it was you who created it, due to the great work you did there... Anyway, do what you can on the other three articles. --Sundostund (talk) 02:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)


 * You did an awesome job at the Peruvian and Ecuadorian lists, but the Paraguayan one needs "Background" with some historical data, same as other lists. --Sundostund (talk) 04:15, 6 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, but I really have no idea about what the problem is about the photo of Vizcarra, and sincerely, I am really not interested to get into it. I just wanted to say that I created List of heads of state of Paraguay a few days ago, and tell you that you can add/change something to it if you see need for that. --Sundostund (talk) 02:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Re: Hi Sundostund
Oli, we have some kind of misunderstanding here. I didn't remove any significant edits on List of presidents of the Dominican Republic, my recent edits there were quite minor. --Sundostund (talk) 02:13, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Warning for derision of IP editors and others
Hello. Please be advised that this is a formal warning against your multiple derisive statements such as You are anonymous, your edits and opinions are completely invalid. I also take a dim view of twice-repeated statement: I knew it Number 57, I knew you would do anything to screw me up, even if it means agreeing with complete ignorant strangers who pick on me because you hate me.

Please note that this kind of misconduct may carry imminent sanctions which may be imposed without further warning. Please treat all Wikipedia editors with respect, including IP editors, whose views are inherently no less valid than anyone else's. Please also treat any potential content opponents with respect. Discuss content on respective article talk pages; if at an impasse there, review your dispute resolution options and requests. Disruption can be reported at the usual places (WP:AIV, WP:ANI, WP:AN3, WP:RFPP, and so on). Thanks. El_C 11:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * RE: About the Warning. Thank you very much for the warning, although user Mathgloth had already told me the same thing weeks ago, you should also say the same to user Number 57, who is the one who commonly insults other users, including me, I know to use the edit summary to argue with another user is not correct, I admit it, but you would also have to tell that to other users who do the same. Oli (talk) 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * If you have evidence (in the form of WP:DIFFs) for me to review, feel free to do so here (please ping). Otherwise, I don't really know what to make of this reply, though as it happens, like with you, I did also criticized Number 157 for his problematic conduct with IPs (here). Though in fairness to Number 157, they were not as aggressive or as repetitive as you had been. El_C 15:24, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Did you even check user number 57's edit history in these articles: 2018 Brazilian general election & 2022 Brazilian general election? By the way, the user's name is Number 57, not 157 as you called him, it seems that you don't even remember his username well, of course now it turns out that I am very aggressive and repetitive in my answers, following your logic Number 57 can be very aggressive and use the edit summary to insult without fear of being penalized, anonymous users can constantly vandalize in case I don't report them, I'm an aggressive and repetitive monster, ok, I'm going to use the discussion pages of the articles to give arguments about my editions in them, despite the vandalism of anonymous articles and the aggressiveness of other users, they can insult and attack me, and I have to respect them even if they don't do it with me. Oli (talk) 15:58, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * OliverDF, you are still failing to meetthe evidence burden — pointing to edit history in articles is not enough. Again, specific WP:DIFFs are required. And when you make these sort of accusations absent these, that may be seen as an WP:ASPERSION. Yes, I've known for many years; I don't see where I called them anything else. As far as I'm aware, they're an editor and an admin in good standing, though it's true that I have cautioned them in the past about communicating better. Again, WP:PING me, or I might miss your reply. El_C 16:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oli (talk) 16:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oli (talk) 16:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The edit summary in the first diff (special:diff/1145520500) says: It's nothing to do with you, it's because it's a better image. Stop the pathetic reverting. Which while a bit heated and a bit uncivil, isn't really that concerning. As for the second one (special:diff/1148347842), which says: This is a better image, and also has a more similar background to Haddad's image, which is more aesthetically pleasing. By all means discuss on talk if you want to change rather than keep changing the photo — it seems completely innocuous. If that's the worst you have, then it isn't much and does not align with anything resembling an "insult and attack." El_C 16:55, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure, even if I had put you 3000 diffs & the conversations I had with him on his talk page, that wouldn't count as proof would it? Since he is an administrator, he has complete freedom to use ad-hominems as "pathetic" against me because that does not warrant a sanction, I am an "aggressive and repetitive" user "problematic and hypocritical" eh?  Anonymous users who commit constant vandalism in any article I must only respect them, I must not report them, if one or more administrators abuse their power when editing articles, I must respect them, I must not report them, understood. Oli (talk) 17:18, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know where you got "problematic and hypocritical" from — please point to the specific diff it could be found in. Actually, I couldn't care less if they're an admin, which is why, as mentioned, I criticized them, too, here. But communicating poorly is not the same as attacking other users, as you did with that IP. Or stating that Number 57 "hates you" in edit summaries, which is also inappropriate. You provided no evidence of ad hominem. As mentioned, "pathetic reverting" might be a bit uncivil, but ultimately, it just says that the reverting is what's pathetic, not that you the person, are.
 * So I'm not sure if there's a language barrier in understanding that or what. But assuming bad faith about myself, for whatever reason, I don't appreciate that. Anyway, if you can show misconduct beyond just that single "pathetic reverting" diff, I'm still willing to look at it. But, and feel free to get a second or third opinion on this, it in itself is insufficient to prove "insult and attack." El_C 18:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately this sort of overreaction and exaggeration has been going on for years. See this, this and this (after they added several copyrighted images to Commons), this etc. Or just false accusations like this... Number  5  7  17:58, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yikes. Most of these are quite old, though. Obviously, there's a longstanding conflict there. OliverDF, my original warning to you stands, so please take note. Conduct yourself professionally as befitting a serious collaborative project. Don't lord your own tenure over IP editors and don't Lord Number 57 Number 57 (I know it was 2018, but that has a poetry to it). El_C 18:20, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * So sweet, you went to the trouble of going through my profile looking for old evidence to use against me because my reactions are "aggressive and repetitive", your attitude is "aggressive and repetitive", your edits are "aggressive and repetitive", everything your profile radiates pure "repetitive aggressiveness", being "an aggressive and repetitive user with zero professionalism without humility to communicate with other users". Oli (talk) 19:23, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Number 57 provided those diffs above, do you not see that? Please take better care to closely review submissions. Beyond that, this is the problem, when I said that Number 157 was not as aggressive or as repetitive as you had been (emphasis added)—in reference to the diffs I cited, these:, which I stand by—then you go on to misrepresent that as an "aggressive and repetitive" user "problematic and hypocritical" (emphasis added), well, that's a problem. If you lack the competence to tell the difference between an action and a person, that's a problem. If you make unfounded claims of "insult and attack" without evidence to back it up due to that misunderstanding, that is also a problem. You can't keep going like this is the point, because it'll catch up with you, if not in this instance, eventually. El_C 19:40, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Of course, using the old reliable "when I said aggressive and repetitive I was referring to your comments, not to you", it never fails, you just had to say that "you have terrible command of the English language, I can't understand anything you say", "You are worse than I supposed, a liar, aggressive, repetitive and inconsistent", in the end you agreed with Number 57, he is an administrator and your lifelong friend, that matters more than anything, no matter what he tells you, You couldn't care less, but what your friend says matters a lot, congratulations, you did it. Oli (talk) 20:50, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * OliverDF, Number 57 is not my friend, lifelong or otherwise. You need to dial it down. If you continue to treat other people like you are treating me right now; or Number 57 with your unfounded WP:ASPERSIONS due to whatever grievances; or personal attacks against IP editors, you're gonna get sanctioned. I can't force you to reflect, to read closely, to assume if not good at least better faith of others around you — but I can stop you from this continued disruption. El_C 21:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

OliverDF, this is in response to your request at my Talk page (diff) about the matter at hand.

Tl;dr: Listen more, talk less; comply with all policies and guidelines, paying special attention to appropriate use of edit summaries.

You asked me to "explain to the user 'el C' the problem I had with user Number 57". Since there is already a discussion open on your Talk page, I am responding here, rather than fragment the conversation. You're probably not going to like everything I'm going to say, but I have to be honest with you, for your own good. In my opinion, you are standing on a knife edge about one centimeter from the edge, and one more misstep will cause you to fall into the abyss. If I were you, I would be very careful what you say and do, from this point on. (Not saying anything may be one good option for you, as you're not likely to be blocked if you just let it go at this point.)

You and I have interacted before, at this discussion about incivility in edit summaries, in connection with a dust-up with the same editor you are tangling with now. In the end, I thought you understood, and ended it well by redacting a portion of a previous comment of yours. This seems to be a repeat, or a second act of that discussion.

First of all, User:El C is a highly respected admin, and in my humble (non-admin) opinion, has been more than patient with you, has assumed good faith on your part, and has given you more information in multiple replies than would normally be forthcoming for an editor like yourself of 13 years seniority and 6,000 edits (12,000 at es-wiki ).

In return, you have unaccountably failed to hear what they are trying to tell you, and have argued a lot of irrelevancies, such as what other editors may or may not be doing. This is your Talk page, and this discussion is about your editing behavior. Arguing with an admin who is trying to help you by pointing out what you did wrong so you can follow behavioral guidelines correctly is likely to make things worse for you, so my advice is to stop arguing, and listen; really listen, and understand. (It is also important to realize that here at English Wikipedia, we operate by English Wikipedia rules, and if you are more used to the rules at Spanish Wikipedia then you need to perhaps stop and re-read our policies and guidelines, in particular, our behavioral guidelines; they may be different than what you are used to at es-wiki, and in particular, my experience is that even when the guidelines are similar in both places, they are taken more seriously here than at es-wiki, which can be more lax at enforcement. WP:Civility is policy; maybe start there first.)

In El_C's last paragraph, did you understand what they are telling you? Your behavior towards them just in this discussion is already over the line, and is blockable, even had you never interacted with the other editor; but your behavior with other editors and IP editors is also blockable. They haven't blocked you yet, but one wrong word from you now, and I think you may very well find yourself blocked. If you don't know what to say in response, a good plan is silence; you will rarely get blocked for saying nothing, as long as your hands are clean elsewhere. That very definitely includes using edit summaries properly and for their intended purpose. If you find youself using the word "you" in an edit summary, or using negative language to describe another editor, stop and erase it, and start over. Just ask yourself this question, and type your answer into the edit summary: "How does this edit improve the article?" Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 23:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Your talk page archive config
Oli, your config for auto-archival via Lowercase sigmabot was not set up correctly, which is why you couldn't see anything in your search archives box, and also why your first archive was #13. I've fixed this for you by correcting the config and renaming your only archive to User talk:OliverDF/Archive 1. But if starting with #13 was your intention, just undo this edit and the move, and it will go back to the way it was. If you look at the search box now, you'll see that your archive now shows up there (as #1) whereas before, that part was empty. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:29, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

References/punctuation
Hello Oliver. Just to let you know (following this edit), references should be placed after punctuation marks like full stops, commas etc (see WP:CITEFOOT). Cheers, Number   5  7  — Preceding comment added 19:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Your archiving config is set to 3 days—is that what you want?
Hi Oli, I notice you set up archiving. Two things about that: Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 07:38, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Two users had written three messages on your page some time ago that would never have been archived, because they were not properly timestamped, even though at least one is from years ago. I have fixed their timestamps, so they should be archived soon, as soon as the bot swings by again.
 * Your configured archive delay is only 3 days, which is very short for a user talk page. Since you last wrote on this page, an entire discussion section was created—and then was archived—before you ever got to see it. It's your choice, so you can do what you want with archiving, but I just thought you'd want to know. (FYI: to make sure you at least get to see this message, I've tagged it to be archived in a month, but let me know once you've read it, and I can untag it so it will archive under your current archive delay of 3 days.) If you want help with archival, just lmk.

Antonio Guzman page information
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Guzm%C3%A1n_Fern%C3%A1ndez

Hi, I'm not that great at adding info to an article and thought you could help me out since you're active in Dominican history articles. The final catalyst for Antonio Guzman's suicide was his daughter Sonia Guzman's Husband. He was caught commiting fraud. Immediately after receiving the news, he locked himself into his bathroom and shot himself. I'm not sure of the best way to word this in the article. I don't think that detail is super important but having it disappear from history feels wrong. 173.212.13.159 (talk) 00:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

English adjectives are invariant, unlike Spanish
Hi, OliverDF, I have a tip for you about English grammar concerning adjectives. I've noticed some of your edit summaries, like Minors changes, but this is not correct in English, and should be: "Minor changes". Unlike Spanish, where the adjective agrees with the noun in number (singular/plural: -s or absence of '-s') and in gender (masculine/feminine: niño listo / niña lista; and niños listos / niñas listas). This doesn't hapen in English, where we have: clever boy / clever girl, and clever boys, and clever girls. Notice that the adjective, clever, is the same in all cases: masculine or feminine, and singular or plural. Another example: "famous actor", "famous actress"; and: "famous actors", "famous actresses". See how it works? Mathglot (talk) 10:09, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
