U2

Please don't. --John (talk) 16:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:U2 tone

Your presumption is incorrect; it has been shown repeatedly on the talk page that "U2 are" is correct when using British English. The U2 article is written using British English, and per WP:ENGVAR the opening sentence is correct and should not be changed. The article uses British English, not American English. Get over it.

Hey there. I'm afraid I find some of the edits you are making rather unacceptable, in an historical revisionism sort of way. The choice of words is carefully chosen, and not entirely open to rewrites, certainly not without consensus. If you would like to propose changes, please raise them on the talk page; re-writing history is not acceptable. Of course, this may not (hopefully!) be your intention, but considering the sorts of editors who focus on these pages, one should always be alert. Thanks for your understanding and attention. Ελληνικά όρος ή φράση (talk) 14:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you seem to have some difficulties with the English language; "relieved" ("relief") does not simply refer to bowel movements. Please be careful, this is the English language wiki and some proficiency in the language is required. Ελληνικά όρος ή φράση (talk) 14:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My comments were not aggressive - I was simply pointing out a statement of fact, and suggesting the use of talk pages as appropriate. Also, you didn't sign your post properly. Take care, Ελληνικά όρος ή φράση (talk) 00:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signing posts

Hi. I noticed in some of your recent edit summaries that you've been adding four tildes to sign them (~~~~). You actually don't need to sign edit summaries (as it has no effect, and the editor who made the edit can be seen in the page history). You only have to sign your comments on talk pages, like this one, and article discussion pages. If you knew this already, or don't understand a word I say, then sorry, (the following is produced by ~~~~) Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 15:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent death tag

User:Masterknighted - you have been inappropriately adding the Template:Recent deaths tag to articles. This template should only be used when many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) are editing the article on the same day. Do not use it merely to tag the article of a recently deceased person. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 20:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you now read the template guidelines? Have you consciously decided to ignore them? - Crosbiesmith (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I read it why don't you lecture everyone else wo puts those tags up there nowMasterknighted (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What Crosbiesmith said. Please don't add the tag to every recent death. Rettetast (talk) 21:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2010

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Paul O'Grady. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Nothing about his death on the news. I suggest you stop making that kind of edit. Rodhull andemu 17:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I only added it after I saw him listed on recent deaths- I made a mistake I did not list him as dead on the recent deaths page

If he had been listed in Deaths in 2010, it should have been reliably sourced; per policy on biographies, we require cast-iron sources before making edits like that. Cheers. Rodhull andemu 17:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Once again I did not list him there. My high crime was to put the recent death tag and change the tense of is to was without reading the obituaries source which next time I should in advance. So perhaps your charges were a bit overeaching.

You should not add the recent deaths tag to articles, the only exceptions being heavily edited articles. In this case, you were the first person to edit the article today. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 20:52, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I saw you make this edit to the article. Please do not do that again without providing a source. Thank you. NW (Talk) 20:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Dylan Meier

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Dylan Meier. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dylan Meier. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Fabio Polenghi

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Fabio Polenghi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Anowlin (talk) 16:53, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nelson W. Aldrich Jr.

The article Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ambiguous notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 01:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Desylla-Kapodistria

I deleted the article because it was based on a copyright violation. Yes, the words were altered edit by edit. But the original copyright violation was actually still there. And even if it was removed in the final version, the article still had to be deleted because of the copyright violation it was based on. This deletion does not prevent the article from being recreated of course, provided it is started from scratch. Garion96 (talk) 07:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really now if the material from the violation was removed and the source material remained in a way which it was altered so as that it was no longer a violation then it would not have to be removed because properly citing a source is not a violation. So I would appreciate if you would repost it with the violation removed so that I can improve it where it needs to be done. If somebody swipes a pack of gum you do not shoot them you instruct them not to do that again, you in effect rehabilitate them. This article just needed to be corrected.Masterknighted (talk) 14:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually quite simple. Just don't copy & paste copyrighted (not under a free content license) material on Wikipedia. You are free to create the article again. Without the copyvio the article was

" Maria Desylla-Kapodistria (Μαρία Δεσύλλα Καποδίστρια) was the mayor of Corfu from 1956 until 1959. On April 18, 1956 she became the first woman elected mayor of a city in the history of modern Greece.

From v. For

Hey there. Wanted to discuss something real quick so we dont start a brouhaha. I noticed you took exception to the "For" in refernce to Byrd's Senate designation. I understand what you are saying about the "From" part. But there are other considerations. First, it is a colloquialism in American parlance and is not that in the rest of the World. Secondly, it doesnt matter where the Senator is "From", which can easily be mis-interpreted outside of the US- he could be from the Dark Side of the Moon, but still represent Idaho for instance. We may say that Joe Bob is from Alabama and we know what that means. However, he works "For" the people of Alabama and his Congressional district, which is why he is elected to represent their interests. When we designate MPs or other State elected officials such as India, we use the same terminology in a somewhat standardized set of terms. Another reason, party representation systems such as the one in Thailand or as we found in Tunisia this week gets awkward when you say a MP died from the National Party. How can you be from a Party? Well you cant. You work for a party representing their interests. Respond back to me if you have a question about that. Ciao.Sunnydoo (talk) 01:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let me give you a specific circumstance. John Kerry was born in Aurora, Colorado. He represented (until recently) the state of Massachusetts in Congress as a Senator. You cant say that he was "from" Massachusetts because he was born in Colorado. You can say that he was "for" the state of Massachusetts as far as representing them. Yes, it is a technical point, but we are trying to use a set of standards so that we can incorporate everyone into the system and treat everyone fairly by doing it the same way each time. Likewise the recently departed Lindy Boggs was from a separate district in Louisiana than the one she represented. If you click on the link for a US House of Rep member's state on the board, you should find their specific district info. Again, you could not say she was from that district, but she was for it.Sunnydoo (talk) 15:58, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The correct designation is the correct designation "the chair recognizes the Seantor from Virginia" on the box listing it says Senator from thats what it is- to put in a set template to explain everything in the same way other than the way it actually is and explain it away as an American colluquioliam is to loose the beauty of the language. What is this a starbucks of information everything should be the same , John Kerry was the Senator from Massachussets-Masterknighted (talk) 13:18, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Roman Campagna, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history.

(edit conflict)It's not clear what you are trying to achieve at Roman Campagna, apart from fixing the artist name, for which I thank you. Messing with the filename causes it not to display. I fixed it once after you'd made six or seven unsuccessful attempts, but you went back and broke it again. Any particular reason for that?

For not From

John Kerry was born in Colorado. He was not the Senator from Massachusetts. He worked and was elected for the State of Massachusetts.Sunnydoo (talk) 01:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC) How many tomes do we have to have this conversation the senator is addressed as the senator from in the U.S always has beenMasterknighted (talk) 01:23, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No it is not. Its just of the media likes to play fast and loose with the English language. Its the use of the wrong preposition. I like to use the term House instead of the entire thing. But some on here dont like that so we have to use the entire thing. Its just a case of using the preposition the right way. Just because someone uses it wrongly doesnt justify that we do. The term automobile crash is another. If you look up the word crash, you can see how many times the media uses it incorrectly. When we talk "from" we are most often describing a person's birthplace not in this context. It is easier to say "for" as he is elected and represents the people of Massachusetts and is "for" their interests.Sunnydoo (talk) 01:30, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Craciun lll and George J. Wienbarg lll

A couple notes about this:

These two articles have already gone through the deletion process, and have been deleted a while ago (multiple times for the latter):

You may not have been aware of these deletions, since you seem to have created the pages using lowercase L's for Roman numerals. When writing Roman numerals, one uses the uppercase I (i), not lowercase L (l).

The lowercase L is also frequently used by spammers to "fool" people (e.g. "VlAGRA"). This is why these pages were so speedily deleted, because a deceptive use of the lowercase L is almost always a sign of spam, and is an enormous red flag for admins.

As for Peter Brant II, I simply renamed (moved) the page to have the correct spelling of the Roman numerals.

My physical proximity to the subjects has no bearing on anything, as does my edit frequency. Dmitry Brant (talk) 19:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well I should perhaps then not have used the lower case but the earlier versions versus these , does not mean that there was not more sourced information this time, so that perhaps thinking that they were done by a spammer we could now retrace our steps and discuss. I appreciate your oversight. And I enjoyed reading your take on the google glassesMasterknighted (talk) 20:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately, Google cache still contains the non-deleted versions of these two pages.

Unfortunately, after looking at the sources on those pages, and cross-referencing with the deletion discussions, the sources don't appear to be any more improved (the commenters seem to have been aware of the same sources that you provide). Of course, you're welcome to re-create the original pages (with the correct numeral spelling), and have yet another deletion discussion. Dmitry Brant (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Like I was saying, please read the deletion discussions that have already taken place for those pages:

The participants were well aware of the sources. Some notable quotes from those discussions:

"Being related to someone famous [Buffalo Bill] is not notability"
"Worked at a station that won an award. OK, but that does not make you notable. Worked on a special that included celebrities. OK, but same answer. And so forth. Notability for the subject is not asserted."
"I see one trivial, passing reference in a book: Rock 'n' roll and the Cleveland connection (Page 239), but that is all. Not sufficient to meet WP notability requirements."

Once again, feel free to re-create the pages (under their original names), and recover the content that's in Google cache (linked earlier), and we can let the pages go through the normal deletion discussion again. Your contributions are, as always, valued and appreciated; but in these two cases, they simply don't seem to be meeting WP:BIO. Dmitry Brant (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources were in the article that came down the first time not the one i wrote this was a different article with different sources which did not get a conversation because it was executed like a wife of Henry the Eighth without any appeal process. There were non notable elements in the first article ... This one dealt with the acting , his journalism for the Christian Post a widely read news source. his involvement with Hollywood sign ( sourced to the Washington Post) and The Buffalo Bill things plays in because the subject of the article made a documentary for the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody whose subject was his then 106 year old Aunt who was in turn Buffalo Bill 's nieceMasterknighted (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that strongly about it, then you should probably contact the admin(s) who deleted the pages. I have no stake or influence in the matter. Dmitry Brant (talk) 14:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have enjoyed our conversation after the circumstance did ariseMasterknighted (talk) 15:01, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Prince Rupert Loewenstein

On 11 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Prince Rupert Loewenstein, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite being The Rolling Stones' business adviser and financial manager for nearly 40 years, Prince Rupert Loewenstein preferred the music of The Beatles? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Prince Rupert Loewenstein. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Commas in Tony Gwynn

Regarding your removal of commas before "and" in list items such as this, MOS:SERIAL advises that there is no preference whether commas are used or not, as long as they are consistent. As you didn't leave an edit summary, I thought I'd drop a note here as I wasn't aware of your intention. I though it was (mostly) consistent in this article to include the comma. At any rate, I have no preference as long as it is consistent. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 18:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Master -- Please stop deleting every serial comma you see. Serial commas are perfectly acceptable. It is not a mistake for it to appear. You are edit-warring over article after article, deleting it. That makes zero sense, since it is perfectly acceptable when it appears. It does not help wikipedia for you to go around stirring up controversy by edit warring and deleting a serial comma another editor has put in whenever you see one. It hurts wikipedia to have editors like you edit warring over something like that. And according to some, such as Strunk and White, serial commas are absolutely required.

Please stop. Or I will ask the administrators to stop you from this unhelpful behavior. I raised this to you before. But you just completely ignored me, and continue deleting serial commas in article after article. If you want to be a helpful editor, that is not the way. Thanks.2604:2000:E016:A700:4484:D7B0:8756:2C26 (talk) 23:51, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hashmat Karzai

Hello. This is a short article, and we know who it is. We don't need a reminder of his name every other sentence. When the article is extended, it will perhaps make sense to remind a forgetful reader of his name...Zigzig20s (talk) 19:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is just improper writing...He , he, he is not correct...Masterknighted (talk) 19:44, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. We only need to know the full name once (well, twice: once in the lead, and then once at the beginning of the article). I suggest looking at some novels if you're not sure. We only say the full name again when other people or characters have just been mentioned, and there could be a confusion.

Saturday October 15 Women in Architecture Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim (RSVP on-wiki or at meetup.com).

noon - 8pm (drop-in anytime!) at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Garrett Lobby @ 1071 5th Ave by E 88 St

In conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon— to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both.

The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment. New and experienced editors are welcome.

My comments were, in no way, "hostile". I didn't erase what you wrote, and have changed the message to reflect same. Please don't make personal comments about editors, talk about edits instead. Personal attacks don't help build the encyclopedia.

Proposed deletion of Peter Brant II

The article Peter Brant II has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

seems to fail WP:BIO standards; notability is not inherited

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. only (talk) 03:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Peter Brant II for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Peter Brant II is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Brant II until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. only (talk) 03:36, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Hi there, just a quick note that a made a change to your sandbox. Normally user drafts don't have categories. If they do they show up in the mainspace categories. In this case your sandbox was showing up in Category:American writers. I also mistakenly created a talk page for you sandbox with this note. Sorry about that, I had meant to leave it here. I should've clued in that a user that's been here this long would've had a talk page already. — Strongjam (talk) 16:46, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week [17 December 2016]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for dedication in behind-the-scenes work. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Jimgerbig submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Masterknighted for his persistent efforts in the creation and editing of articles. Often editors will hurriedly introduce new information to an article, without placing a full citation, or with spelling and grammatical errors. Masterknighted has dedicated time to create relevant articles and to fix the edits of others, doing the tedious work of completing the citation information. Masterknighted has a great positive attitude in discussions with other editors and is not a fan a deletionists. He does excellent work!

it does not matter the official cause of death is undermined and you ar e not a coroner so you cannot assume that is what happened, probability is not a definitiveMasterknighted (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"he was already unconcious hit but he may have floated away and stayed afloat alive before sinking or come to... so therefore he may have still been alive"

You just have more credence to him Dying on the 31st. He disappeared from sight, meaning he went under. Holding your breath, long st you can survive is at best under an hour if you were really trying. Bit he was unconscious.

February 2017

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Dragon City a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Edit summaries, multiple consecutive edits

Hello, Masterknighted. A couple editing suggestions for you to consider:

Please make a habit of providing an edit summary when you make a change to an article. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edit.
Plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. This keeps the page history of the article less cluttered.

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 15:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

— Berean Hunter (talk) 01:28, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that the subject was suitably notable and that the article was unfairly deleted and so I tried to provide more evidence, that he wrote for the Christian post and that his coverage of Amanda Knox was notable with the backlash against his coverage. Plus his work on the Buffalo bill museum and with the Hollywood sign so I thought that the new article would pass musterMasterknighted (talk) 01:32, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's go back to Brainplanner. Describe in detail how you used this account?
— Berean Hunter (talk) 01:55, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I used it to vote on some things and create a couple of pages. With all due respect I have apologized is there any chance my account will be unblocked after some time if you find it to gracefully forgive my mistake? ?

Do you feel that you tried to use Brainplanner to deceive others? (I'm about to head to bed and will resume the discussion at a later point)

No that was not my intention but I am sincerely sorry for what occuredMasterknighted (talk) 02:42, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't recognize the socking as deceptive, this sounds like you aren't really owning your actions and doesn't give much assurance that you wouldn't do it again. It would be better for you to reveal any remaining socking or other meatpuppetry here. It would sound better coming from you so I will wait another couple of days and give you the chance to let us know anything that you think we ought to know. After that, I will be posting at COIN for a conflict of interest investigation. If they turn up more than what you have revealed, it wouldn't reflect well on you. On the other hand, your cooperation would reflect well when considering the terms of unblocking which will occur after the COI investigation.

To Bearean Hunter Happy Holidays- It was the wording from which I took a step back that to deceive people took me a little vwhile to wrap my mind around the fact that I did that, it had to sink in. I understand my transgressions, am sorry for them and wish to work with you here .Masterknighted (talk) 14:52, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
