Your contributed article, A Beautiful Life (2009 film)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, A Beautiful Life (2009 film). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – A Beautiful Life (2008 film). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at A Beautiful Life (2008 film) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * That other article did not come up when I searched, please ask Spartaz or another Admin to delete it, thanks. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 22:04, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean this with sincerity and due respect, but HUH? What are you talking about? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 17:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, assumed you'd know. where you said "Expanding article with content and sources from related articles". I clearly should have tweaked the message as nothing's been attributed anyway. Dougweller (talk) 08:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Favor, please
Could you do me and other editors on the Gun politics in the U.S. page and not make lots of edits in one edit - and leave better edit summaries? Edits like this one. I used to do these kinds, for which I'd get my head chewed off. Thanks. Lightbreather (talk) 23:00, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * While I can appreciate your perception of my edits, I'm editing in the same way that I do on any article, gun related or otherwise. Difs can be perceived both ways, I'm not someone who is trying to quickly rack up an edit count, but I do try to edit in "manageable chunks". Its not unusual for me to do "full article" edits and completely overhaul a stub or badly formatted article.
 * As for my edit summaries, sure, I'm happy to add more detail. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm not asking you to change your habits across Wikipedia - only on gun related articles. I think that's fair, since others (including myself) have been asked to do so. Lightbreather (talk) 23:17, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Like I said, I'm happy to add more detail to the Summaries, but I'm not making any promises regarding my edit style. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. But if anyone gives me any crap about doing "big" edits like that, I hope you won't join in... and maybe even help me. :-) Lightbreather (talk) 00:00, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'll be the first to defend good editing, grammar, vocabulary usage, and reasonable thinking even if it means a complete reversal of an opinion I hold. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 00:04, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Where should we discuss this?
Obviously we have a disagreement about the 21st century advocacy section and sources. I though this last edit and summary of yours was a little harsh. Where shall we discuss? If not here, would you start the discussion? Lightbreather (talk) 00:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I already started it here... --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 00:20, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Huh? That link seems to be about the Types of firearms section, which I think is overblown for the article - so I thank you for that. Lightbreather (talk) 00:23, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * My apologies, you meant the explanation stuff. OK... here. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 00:29, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

April 2014
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Stripper. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. BMK (talk) 04:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
