Disambiguation link notification for January 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Seiko, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Bourne Identity (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Steve McQueen
Hey Soetermans :3

Amazing story about Steve McQueen by the way ~

I only removed the wikilink to Steve McQueen as I wanted to reference him in a way which wouldn't take anything away from the setup of the template itself, such as entitling the template something along the lines of Steve McQueen's Bodily Fluids Triptych, or something to that affect. I only used that colour scheme due to the Star Wars template, which seemed justified. The word 'adaption' is a very loose term which is why it could be used in that content ~

Further more, if Christopher Nolan is able to have a template as such, then why can't McQueen?

Kind regards --Bartallen2 (talk) 14:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Bartallen2,


 * Sorry for my late reply, I didn't notice your message, with that "warning" I received later on. I think you should try to establish notability first, create the article Bodily Fluids Triptych and then a template apparently is justified. I just took out the colors in the Star Wars template also, having some color isn't any problem, as long as it doesn't cross WP:COLOR. --Soetermans. T / C 11:43, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey there Soetermans :3

Don't be sorry at all :) Establish notability first? How do you mean? (: You mentioned "create the article Bodily Fluids Triptych and then a template" Oooo? Aww right I see with regard to the colours in the template. --Bartallen2 (talk) 18:37, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Portal (video game), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. bojo 1498  talk  15:28, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah buddy, you might want to double check. First off, my edit was perfectly fine. It is a favourite of The Orange Box can also mean that The Orange Box likes Portal the best. "It is considered one of the best" doesn't say what. It also crosses WP:NPOV anyway. Second, as you can clearly see from my talk page archives, I've been here for a while. It is common courtesy to not use those kinds of automated messages. I also noticed you've just given a admin a final warning, so I'm kind of thinking you don't really care at all about stuff like that. Anyway, I've reverted it to the previous revision. --Soetermans.

 * ], Flappy Bird is very similar to a game released in 2011, two years before Flappy Bird', called Piou Piou vs. Cactus'', from gameplay (by tapping on the screen) to the main character

It doesn't matter who it was overwhelming to!

 * Yes, actually, it does. Overwhelming is an adjective, it says something about how to look at the reception. In this context, it is a weaselword that crosses neutrality. Just because it has been like that for a long time is never a reason to keep it that way. And if you don't agree with Wikipedia's clear rules, the burden is on you to show how this was actually "overwhelming". --Soetermans. T / C 11:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * It seems to me like you're not reading my words, so I'll try again. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and all those links I've cited are decided upon consensus. I'm not just making this stuff up, they aren't my opinion personally. I'm afraid you're wrong, because it doesn't summarize the critical reception at all, it says that its reception was something special, something out of the ordinary. That is called, again, a weaselword: to sneaky add words or sentences like "award-winning", "most popular" or, in this case, "overwhelming". If you would want to show that MGS4 was very well received, you should let the article speak for itself: the scores and awards it has won are factual ways to show that. I again am asking you for proof to show otherwise. Maybe you're not familiar with Wikipedia, but you should read the guidelines, because it does matter, even if you don't agree. If you keep this up, not editing by Wikipedia's rules, you might get blocked. Please read my words and check the links I've cited repeatedly. --Soetermans. T / C 20:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Ya know what, fine, keep it the way you want it to. I reverted it back to your revision. I'm not gonna argue with a nebbish like you anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeftToDeath (talk • contribs) 20:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Somehow you seem to think that I don't know that MGS4 was very well received. Let me assure you that is not the case. I again am saying that a word like "overwhelming" has no place on Wikipedia. If you are familiar with the rules you would know that. We don't say "MGS4 is a great game" either, and we don't say "its reception was amazing" either. I'm not making empty threats either, I'm saying if you don't take heed to my words you might get blocked. And again, it is not how I want it, it is how Wikipedia has decided articles should look. I don't know what a "nebbish" is, but I don't appreciate being called one. --Soetermans. T / C 20:27, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Zmaher
I've responded to your report at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:18, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, @User:JamesBWatson, that's great. Hopefully finally Zmaher will get the message. --Soetermans. T / C 16:31, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Let's hope so. If not, let me know, and I will consider whether further action is needed. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:34, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * @User:JamesBWatson, Zmaher's doing it again. No source on Russia-United States relations and adding 13.000 characters on a concert tour by Metallica. Zmaher has been told repeatedly to provide sources and to stop adding trivial information of such enormous size. --Soetermans. T / C 12:55, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * In the edit you link to on Russia-United States relations, Zmaher was removing unsourced content. However, apart from that one, every one of his/her edits since the block expired has repeated problems that he/she has been warned about in the past, so I have blocked the account again, this time for a month. It is very frustrating, because we are dealing with an editor who is doing a significant amount of good work, and it shouldn't be necessary to resort to blocks to deal with what are basically minor problems. However, when those minor problems go on year after year, and no attempts to communicate get through to the editor, it becomes a major problem. Let's hope that a month's block prompts the editor to make some sort of response at last. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:15, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi @User:JamesBWatson, thanks for your quick reply. You're right, I should've noticed that, sorry about that. It's a shame, really, Zmaher means well. I really do hope they finally get the message this time. Thanks for the help. --Soetermans. T / C 14:30, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you
... for helping to revert edits made by two users attempting to promote the non-notable website Idiotbox. I have requested temporary semi-protection of Still (The Walking Dead) due to repeated attempts to incorporated Idiotbox into the article and edit warring, despite talk page warnings.

Yo dude why did you remove mine and my friends posts on the psychological horror page? Was there something wrong with the link?
 * Yes, it was a direct external link in the article body, but that's not the reason I removed it. I took it out because it fails WP:N, it simply isn't notable to mention on Wikipedia. --Soetermans. T / C 22:34, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Edit to Physiological Horror
Hello Soetermans, Its Epochpilot. I made an edit to the page Physiological Horror adding a game to the Video game area and you removed it. You claimed that it was removed because I was promoting the game, however I was not. I was simply adding another example. I am not a developer of the game. Hope to hear from you soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epochpilot (talk • contribs) 07:11, 23 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Epochpilot,


 * You must mean psychological horror, concerning edit. I took out for a couple of reasons. 1) Underhell isn't notable for Wikipedia. What I gather from the page linked, it has been downloaded 65,000 times, which in video game terms is next to nothing. There is no Underhell article either. 2) having a direct link (like the one I just made) is not suitable for articles. After the article body, the external links section can show other relevant websites for the subject. 3) Wikipedia has strict rules against advertising, both explicit and implicit, and because Underhell isn't notable right now, having it here is more promotional than actual informational. I hope this helps, thanks and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 16:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
