Welcome!

Hello, Galatz, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.Template:Z130

Intentional or not

Perhaps it is not intentional. But please -- if you are going to quote MOS, don't undo what MOS clearly states is ok. That's either careless or intentionally disruptive. I hope the former, which is excusable, if regrettable.--2604:2000:E016:A700:94EF:F45A:4455:DBFB (talk) 06:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It says may, not should be. Meaning its acceptable, but the full year is preferred. Look at Joe Montana or Brett Favre as example. They all use the full date range, even for consecutive years. Don Zimmer, Pedro Martínez, and Al Leiter, once again, all full date range. - Galatz ^Talk 13:09, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where it is acceptable - leave it as it is. Don't change an existing acceptable format. Ever.

There are multiple date formats that are acceptable, such as numbers or spelled-out-months for example, but the settled rule at the Probject is that - unless you are looking to engage in troll-like obsessive behavior to irritate people, and be blocked -- you don't edit war to move from one acceptable format to another acceptable format. You, however, keep on obsessively doing that, across a swath of articles. That's why people are finding your editing annoying in this regard.

Please cut it out. It is not appropriate, it is not collegial, it is not collaborative, and it is not helpful. 2604:2000:E016:A700:3470:3BC9:318:68AB (talk) 05:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to know who these people are you are referring to and what examples you are referring to. Additionally it is appropriate to change it to the preferred method. - Galatz ^Talk 12:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ocean's Thirteen

Hi,

How is all the material I'm trying to compile for a 'Trivia' part irrelevant? I take it that, initially, I was starting a sort of Edit warring with an active member that self-describes as "removing all edits from unregistered users, out of principle" (which seems a tad exaggerated to me).

I am taking a lot of time to add info on a movie, precisely about a few scenes, and the fictitious setting of its story within the actual city. As I know 'a little bit' Las Vegas myself and found lots of people wondering whether the Bank casino depicted in the movie actually existed, it seemed very relevant that an exhaustive and precise encyclopedia, such as Wikipedia, would include such information.

Maybe the title 'trivia' is unsuiting and that is the problem? But then, just re-titling the subpart would be enough instead of deleting all the changes I tediously make, trying to validate the infos and facts with links...

Thanks in advance for all infos and discussions trying to make that page the best possible. Letsseewhatwillwork (talk) 17:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Letsseewhatwillwork: I suggest you read the guidelines for this information, which you can find at WP:TRIVIA, which another user has pointed you to already. Additionally you should read WP:RS which will help you understand how to source information on Wikipedia. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing, just keep in mind the guidelines. Happy to help if you have specific questions. - Galatz ^Talk 17:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I am following the guidelines.

Well, indeed, naming one part "references in the dialogues" and another "locations" could probably solve the "trivia" question.

However, as for adding and referencing the sources, the slightly frustrating part is that during the time that I am working just on that, the post itself gets deleted before I can fully implement all that is required.

How can I then just post the "trivia part suggestion", with full code and links so far, and start a discussion, so that maybe someone else, out of consensus, decides to add those infos (and create one or more categories for that)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS: by the way, does translating content that is already included and got consensus in another language on Wikipedia count as reliable source or a wiki-translating endeavor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Letsseewhatwillwork:No wikipedia cannot be used as a source, however the content might have a source there which you can then use as your source. As for playing with your edit, you can check out WP:SAND where you can fool around with your edits until you've got it right. It is a great place for new users to play with the different things they can do. - Galatz ^Talk 17:36, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Indeed, it might be useful to make the edit fully sourced before it gets removed. And typically, getting the sources as identical to other sources of related Wikipedia articles needs that time.

I finally figured out how to start a talk from a mobile device (the talk button not being at the top left-hand corner menu where I was looking for it thanks to the info I was given... for computer users^^"), and although I currently cannot find it back, I hope it will stem into a good enough addition to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:47, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Socks

Did you notice that TheCorageone1 got busted for sockpuppetry?

@LM2000: Yeah, what fun now that he is back - Galatz ^Talk 14:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrestling and operations systems

Galatz, looking at your contributions you seem to be focused on wrestling. Would you kindly notify the WP community about your motives to remove information about a secure operation system for a mobile device? The connection between the two fields is not really obvious. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 12:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bernd.Brincken:I edit lots of different type of articles, so you once again make absolutely no sense. I have thousands of edits regarding Israel, thoughts regarding baseball, thousands regarding TV shows and thousands regarding mobile devices. I have made the explanation extremely clear to you. If you disagree with me then utilize the dispute resolution. - Galatz ^Talk 14:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about the Nexus article, it's real curiosity what connects a wrestling fan with mobile phone systems software. Or the latter with Israel, baseball, TV shows. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 21:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bernd.Brincken: I find multiple things interesting. I am sure you do the same. So I edit the topics I find interest in. - Galatz ^Talk 23:39, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, let's book this in the humour account. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 23:44, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPP Backlog Drive Appreciation

		Special Edition New Page Patroller's Barnstar
		For completing over 100 reviews during the 2018 NPP New Year Backlog Drive please accept this Special Edition Barnstar. Thank you for helping out at New Page Patrol! There is still work to do to meet our long term goals, so I hope you will continue your great work. Cheers! — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 02:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Storylines

Other wresting pages contain the header "Background" not "storylines"(unless contains different sub headings such as "production" I.e. articles like WrestleMania 34. So why on Earth are the Elimination Chamber (2018) and Fastlane (2018) articles an exception? Do your homework before you revert the edits! Zerobrains94 (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zerobrains94: We have a guideline that makes it very clear. Just because others are wrong, doesn't mean these shouldn't be correct. Read WP:PW/PPVG, its very clear. - Galatz ^Talk 17:08, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response to storylines

Okay, I get the point, however, there are previous wrestling pages that have the background heading. Why aren't you correcting those? Zerobrains94 (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zerobrains94: In the process of it - Galatz ^Talk 17:16, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fine

Keep the page incorrect if you want. Sorry for trying to make Wikipedia correct. Keep ganging up on people and ignoring every point they have. This is why people think Wikipedia isnt a reliable source. You put what you want and not what is correct. Goku4Star (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Goku4Star: Everything on wikipedia needs to be supported by what a WP:RS says. Not what a user states is correct, no matter what a source states. - Galatz ^Talk 20:20, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do you expect me to source a TV show? You just revert without bothering to answer my question. WWE uploads only small snippets to YouTube. It's very obviously a typo. Not to mention you guys are using a different time for Seth Rollins than what WWE.com lists. Why is that okay? Michael Cole said something like "Sheamus hasn't been having a very good week, he only lasted 2 seconds in the Royal Rumble." Do you even watch the product?

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Galatz, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Ethan Carter 3 Wikiapage

Ethan Carter III Wikapage issue it says "After a public vote, fans wanted to see EC3 face Cezar Bononi as his first NXT opponent.[103]" This information note be worthy to be posted there, but people keep saying its not...some veteran editors say it is undo. Can you review change thanks. BusriderSF2015 (talk) 5:00PM, 7 February 2018 (PT)

Renee Young

While she did claim to change her name, a name change would be officially recorded but there's no evidence of that. VenomHeart (talk) 19:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@VenomHeart: Did you listen to the source given? She is very clear. - Galatz ^Talk 19:27, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I did listen but I need more proof than simple her word. VenomHeart (talk) 19:30, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@VenomHeart: It might not be enough for you, but per WP:PRIMARY its fine. - Galatz ^Talk 19:35, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree when it comes to this. VenomHeart (talk) 19:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018

Hello, I'm Anchorvale. An edit that you recently made to Rey Mysterio seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Anchorvale ^T@lk 06:45, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anchorvale: Next time check before you blindly revert. And even if the page didn't exist, and it was a redirect WP:DONOTFIXIT would have applied, and it should have always been piped through a redirect. It would have been a clear redirect with possibilities - Galatz ^Talk 14:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrestlemania Speculation

Including Brock Lesnar is a form of speculation. It may be that he is champion at this precise moment in time and that story lines may be indicating he is going to be champion. It is though not confirmed. The final PPV's have to take place. Lesnar may also have a match at Elimination Chamber, which is yet to be announced. Please do not keep re-adding Lesnar to the match card or the type of match which the Universal title will be defended in until after the PPV's before Wrestlemania have concluded and the match actually confirmed. Sport and politics (talk) 12:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sport and politics: Your argument is just terrible. If you add it back again I will report you for edit warring. - Galatz ^Talk 12:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ill happily see you there as well. You have been engaging in the "warring" too as you have labelled it. Sport and politics (talk) 12:57, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring on WrestleMania 34

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
