[edit] Angel episodes
Hi there! I notice that you're adding a lot of Angel episodes in quick succession. Where are you getting them from? Also, please put a blurb at the beginning mentioning something to the effect of "This is an episode of the television series Angel (TV series)" or something. They need context, the title isn't enough. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 04:57, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Whoa, slow down, tiger! You're creating a lot of cleanup work in your wake. Also, where are you getting this rapid-fire info from? These almost look like copyright violations, especially since they're coming in so fast. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 06:08, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
This is really looking a bit suspicious. I've place a fifteen-minute block on your account until we can get to the bottom of this. If you're posting copyright violations and/or running an unauthorized bot, you stand to lose your privileges for good. Please leave word on my talk page. Thanks again. Sorry to have to do this, but I've never seen so many articles arrive in such rapid succession. - Lucky 6.9 06:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
You've tried to log on anonymously at least twice according to the logs so I know you've gotten my message. Please, what are you doing, how are you doing it and would you please stop it? - Lucky 6.9 06:17, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Plus the episodes all need cleaning up and you haven't added infoboxes or anything, which is what we are trying to do at the moment. If you're going to add episodes at least add them properly with the proper formatting and an infobox. --Cooksey 11:29, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- The method of quickly adding very short plot summaries, and the refusal to answer on the Talk page, makes me think this is the same person as Special:Contributions/EditingAllison, who added something like 20 episodes of "That's So Raven" last night, most of which were marked for speedy deletion by a number of editors before anybody figured out that they were part of a bigger plan. See also Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/A_Fish_Called_Raven.
- Gregg02, by doing all of this without talking to anyone else or answering the questions of an administrator, you run the risk that the consensus will be against keeping all of these articles, and that they'll be merged or deleted later. It's probably a good idea to respond to comments of others. Personally I don't think one- or two-sentence episode capsules are worth their own articles, and I am concerned that you are copying them in from some other source, in which case they will definitely get deleted. bikeable (talk) 17:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
You have also been leaving a fair number of them as orphaned, which means they are not in any categories; please always put new articles in a category. --Cooksey 15:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Angel episodes
Please stop putting in new articles for Angel episodes and leaving them totally orphaned (without categories), plus you are not using the correct style and they appear to be copied from another site. This is not helping the encyclopedia as they will just be deleted if they are deemed to be copied or too short for their own articles. --Cooksey 23:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dead -> Killed
Hi there, I notice you have been going through a number of battle articles and changing, among other things, instances of the word "dead" in infoboxes to "killed". I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know that it is standard to used "dead" as opposed to "killed" (as shown here). Cheers, --Loopy e 21:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source for casualties
Hello, can you please add the source from where u were able to add the 500,000 and 400,000 figure here, mentioned in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971? Tx Idleguy 07:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Foreign horror movie plot descriptions
I've reverted all of these that you added, as they were surely copyright violations. Wasted Time R 21:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
