I worked on my page for over 3 hours only for CFred to come by and delete it. Apparently it's not credible. He said the sunday league football teams are failures and not relevant. I'll leave what I have below.

Palmers FC 23 million views More viewed and subscribed than 90% of the english football ladder combined! BBC article on the future of football - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36991332 Sell shirts on a regular basis through it's club website.

THIS IS NO JOKE!

It's inspiring young kids to get into grassroots football. It's inspiring those that never made it to get back into it. It's becoming an academy, a charity and so much more. This is just the beginning and because someone looks at it without any form of research and then decides to delete it.

I'm not here to be abusivie or offensive, I'm trying to get my voice heard on here, trying to get help and make people understand that this is legit, it's not a joke so if you could help, approve, point me in the right direction on how I get this page up, created and protected that would be much appreciated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveballem (talk • contribs) 20:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mlpearc. Thank you very much for checking on this. I did add a source from BBC that lists Willie Nelson as part of the documentary. It's listed on the page from BBC website, in the description section. I will go ahead and return the information to the Mr. Nelson's page at this time. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Not sure why you summarily reverted an entire afternoon's worth of fixes I made to the Kiss article. My edits reflect Wiki policy in terms of overlinking (there were numerous redundant Wikilinks in article body). I also fixed incorrect Wikilinks, added those that were inexplicably missing, corrected outdated information, fixed poor grammar, etc. Perhaps it would have been better to address any specific changes you had an issue with?

I'm only new to Wikipedia. There was no option to leave any references on the box. My biography.com reference ( ihttp://www.biography.com/people/carrie-fisher-9542646#synopsis) is no better than legacy.com. Winkelvi, or whoever that is changed it all back. A proper source would be from one of her books. Or a birth certificate. That editor goes so far as to presume she was born at home. In fact, There are no references for that. I see this is a waste of time. If any thing biography .com is more reliable.

In Vanity Fair from the book: http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/12/carrie-fisher-parents-debbie-reynolds-eddie-hollywood. She was born in a hospital.

Hello, Thanks for looking at and editing Edward Hart Lipscombe. Your edit removed the religion part of the infobox, which is great since that is, as you point out, a depreciated parameter. However, for many individuals, the religious biography and person infobox are both relevent, as political and religious information are both important - Lipscombe is a great example of this. When this is the case, if you can, it might be useful to leave religion in the infobox using the religious biography infobox as a module within the person infobox (such as here, which I should have done in the first place). Its perfectly likely you know this, I just wanted to point it out in case. All the best, and thanks again! Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:46, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevinmuniz115: Because you did not provide a reliable source to support the date change, plus you didn't even explain why the 1975 date was incorrect. - Mlpearc (open channel) 03:45, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mlpearc: I get it, but still, look at the Trampled Under Foot infobox; it wasn't released in 1974. Instead, it was recorded in that year and was released in 1975. Kevinmuniz115 (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevinmuniz115: Hence the need for a cite to support the change. Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 21:56, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mlpearc Phone: OK, but I need help finding a reliable source for it. Kevinmuniz115 (talk) 01:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A reply: Guy Williams I found out via Google search cause of death was aneurysm & therefore I modified this 'natural causes' statement with what initially displayed on Wikipedia. Okay, well if there is a reliable source that has to do with Guy Williams for Lost In Space then it beats me.

Hey Mlpearc, I see you reverted my edits on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrienne_Barbeau&oldid=761274984, I was just adding a video game voice credit found via IMDB (I was watching DS9 and the voice of Senator Cretak sounded familiar, so I had to hunt it down). I didn't see IMDB references for each of the other video game credits, so I didn't add it at the time, but the proof is here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000105/?ref_=tt_cl_t2. How should I fix my edit so I do this correctly? Thanks!

Hi Mlpearc. It looks like you added an OTRS ticket to the above file. However, there's no license template on the file. Could you please have a look at the ticket and see which license should be added? File will be deleted shortly if there's no license displayed.

hi. regarding Gesuudaraz I edits. The sources already was mentioned in the same article. and my edit was already discussed in text in the same article. What I have done is put it in bullet for in sajra ( called family tree). furthermore, in addition to references already mentioned in the same article, I linked every name in family tree with inline wikipedia relevant article for verification. you can varify there by your self.

Please I am doing my edit again, don revert it back. Authentic sources are already in the same article. thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashwani83 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re your edit summary here, talk page archival exists to control page length, not to remove discussion threads after some arbitrary expiration date. VQuakr (talk) 17:33, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@VQuakr: Anything specific from Help:Archiving a talk page as far as archiving periods that you're referring to ? or is the guideline open to interpretation. - Mlpearc (open channel) 17:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing really specific. From the first couple of sentences in the lead: "It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large....However, when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case." 90 days isn't exceptionally long for less active talk pages. VQuakr (talk) 19:05, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as I said in my edit summary, I see no point leaving all discussions open for three months, which will have an affect on readability and page lengths. - Mlpearc (open channel) 19:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I recently was told to stop disruptive editing on Tornado Records, What did I do wrong? Thats not snarky, it was just noted that within the "to-do" section of the page, someone needed to add info about the May 2005 tornado drought. No notorious intent at hand here!

Hi Mlpearc, regarding this edit: did you by any chance get the wrong user page? I am not an Extension Developer, much less that extension's author. It's been a few years since I've even installed Mediawiki so I can't be of help to you. I hope you find someone that can help you! --Stux (talk) 03:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stux: You're listed in the author line as making a change, I was hoping that you had experience with this extension and could guide me on setting lockdown not to write to RecentChanges. I apologize for making that assumption. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 18:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I probably made a single change to fix some obvious bug over ten years ago. I probably did manage to install the extension back then but it's so long ago I don't remember it at all. Likely the extension's changed a lot since. You'll have better luck finding more recent developer or current users of the lockdown extension. Good luck! --Stux (talk) 20:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, and sincere apologies if you're getting this message more than once. Just a heads-up that there is currently work on an extension in order to enable CSS styling in templates.

@Samtar: Thank you for your support, but to be honest I make too many "too quick on the trigger" mistakes and have trouble AGF and I've been called "bitey", otherwise I probably could pass a second attempt. - Mlpearc (open channel) 21:48, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The page "Ardenza trio" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardenza_Trio is absolutely real and proved with many links. When I created it I pasted some sentences taken from their official website because I didn't realise it was forbidden and that is why the page was hidden. Of course, I edited the text and now it is perfect and original. The second thing is that I tried to upload a photo that was given to me by its author. The author wrote me in email that I can freely use it. However, she did not specify the licence. When I later gave her details about the licences, she did not answer - I think she changed her mind. So I tried to delete it but I could not. I would be grateful if you could help me and delete the photo but please do not remove the page - there is no reason. Best regards! Vladislava1306 (talk) 10:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vladislava1306: I have asked for the file File:Ardenza trio.jpg to be deleted. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 19:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your words. I am so frustrated, because I feel I made a quality edit with many improvements to the category "hair tie", and another user can just come along and say "no". I want my edit to go through and be published because I feel it is valid, but I feel I have no power to do anything about it since i am not an upper level editor or administrator. I seem to waste my time making improvements to wikipedia, only to have them reverted.

How do I report user "Drmies"? He is rejecting valid changes made by me for no good reason and making all of my hard work for wikipedia for naught. He also announced on his talk page I was reported, trying to humiliate me.

Stephaniesoftball (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephaniesoftball: The appropriate place to report users is here: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, also this is an Encyclopedia, not a place to "jot down" your personal opinions/beliefs, just because you think something is true doesn't make it so. Every claim/fact contained in this project must be verifiable. Good luck and happy editing, - Mlpearc (open channel) 15:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message on my talk page. In that message you explained that a lack of citations was your reason for removing a sentence I added to the Kristy McNichol page. In that passage, I included information about McNichol's nomination for the 1982 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in The Pirate Movie. I thought that in-Wikipedia links to the information, such as I included within my edit, would be sufficient. Both of those WP pages mention the information. However, I can certainly add external links if you - or general Wikipedia policy - think it necessary. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:10, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JoJo Anthrax: The cite needs to be with your change not on some other page, Why would you want to make the reader search other pages to see if something they just read is correct ?

The band never had "19 hit singles". Why you would revert back to that inaccuracy I do not know. Please source that?

@JohnnyangelNIU: What band ? I watch many music related pages. - Mlpearc (open channel) 16:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet Riot. You changed my correct entry back to the inaccurate "19 hit singles", when they NEVER had 19 hit singles. They had three that charted high. Not sure how the '19 hit singles' was even put in there originally. JohnnyangelNIU (talk) 16:28, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnnyangelNIU: Well, this is now correct. If you disagree please start a discussion on the article's talk page and seek consensus. Happy editing, - Mlpearc (open channel) 16:38, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just changed the date of Triggers birth on Roy Rogers page, to reflect the same date on Triggers page. The conflict already existed as there are different dates of birth at each page. I assumed the correct date was the date on Triggers page. Which is the correct date? Brucetr6 (talk) 05:19, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Brucetr6: I have no idea which is correct, a reliable source is needed to set it right. - Mlpearc (open channel) 05:35, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you made a mistake. My reference is exactly the same one that was already there. Furthermore the original text was totally misleading, directly implying that "Frost and Horrocks left to form Wee Johnny Hayes and the Blue Cats" – i.e. that Frost and Horrocks formed the new band, whereas it wasn't them but the Gibb brothers. The change was therefore appropriate and needed. Please restore it, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roy McCoy (talk • contribs) 04:44, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't add a reference that was already there. In the Andrew Hughes book, Robin Gibb explains that "We did the Palatine [Cinema] as Wee Johnny Hayes and The Blue Cats – Barry was Johnny Hayes." Since you hassled me on this pointlessly, I think you might consider apologizing and/or agreeing not to behave in a similar manner again. Thank you. Roy McCoy (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You just gave me a warning for removing the source Classic Drummer from the Phil Collins article. Not sure if you seen why the article Classic Drummer was deleted? It's the same reason I used in edit summary. Was a warning necessary given I used the same reason why the article was deleted? BT Curry (talk) 22:13, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't vandalism, I was trying to correct an error on the death date for Miguel Ferrer and made a typo. It took me a couple of times to get it fixed. Originally it showed his death date as 1999. 98.20.148.151 (talk) 02:10, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
