[edit] Fan Wars

A tag has been placed on Fan Wars, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Fan Wars is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Fan Wars saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. TheRealFennShysa 21:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{2000s-sf-film-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help

What do you need help with? (place {{helpme}} back when you answer). -- John Reaves 04:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I need to help with TheRealFennShysa to contest the speedy deletion of the article on the open source film I'm currently working on. Starkiller88 04:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The article, as it stands reposted, has not been listed for speedy deletion yet. I have started an articles for deletion discussion about the article where you can voice your opinion about the article's proposed deletion along with the views of other contributors. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 06:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Astro Shaw

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Astro Shaw, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.astroplc.com/05/astro/our_brands/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 12:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles, sources and so on

Hi Starkiller88. I hope you don't take the deletion of the article on Fan Wars personally. If you need help working out how Wikipedia works, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction, so feel free to ask me whatever you want. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 04:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced, original research

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Emmy Rossum, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. --Yamla 15:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Emmy Rossum. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Yamla 14:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked for your continued insertion of original research after numerous warnings. --Yamla 17:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm really very sorry about this. I wish that, if there is original research, I would like to remove them. But I do not want to continue to insert anymore original research, as Wikipedia does not permit. Where should I do original research? --Starkiller88 18:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

You can do original research on a blog or a personal web page. Please see WP:NOT. --Yamla 18:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Good to know, then. By next day, I will be heeding to these warnings and I will not become a pest in the future. --Starkiller88 18:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry to see that you have continued trolling Talk:Emmy Rossum. I have blocked you for 24 hours to give you another chance to read WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NOR, and WP:CITE. --Yamla 15:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've already read that: if there is material that has not a cited, verifiable reliable source, I'll remove it. Starkiller88 17:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You were told time and time again that you cannot add information about Emmy Rossum looking for more "intimate" films without a reliable citation. You deliberately violated WP:NOR and have now been blocked for one week. --Yamla 20:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry, Yamla. I do not want to violate WP:NOR further. I'll try to find a reliable citation to it. Starkiller88 12:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

So why are you continuing to insert original research into articles? When you have been told repeatedly not to insert that particular piece of original research? --Yamla 03:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Because last time there is a fact that Emmy Rossum is looking for more intimate films in the future, and she currently has no roles, but until 2008 where she is signed on to act in three films. Last time, about several months ago. Starkiller88 04:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You have no source for that, do you? --Kinu ^t/_c 12:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Starkiller88, that information requires a source. You have been told this over and over and over again. Stop trolling. --Yamla 14:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I did not troll as of now. Starkiller88 16:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Good. Well, when your block expires, I look forward to many more productive contributions from you and no more of this "intimate films" unsourced nonsense. --Yamla 16:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Irish Jews

Please do not add people to the category, Irish Jews, unless they are Irish by nationality rather than ancestry. The category is for jewish people in Ireland, not just those with Irish ancestry. Thanks! --Yamla 18:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crysis.

I removed the hidden message you added at the top of the Crysis article: we don't block for original research unless it's a repeated pattern. (By the way, your edits are becoming more constructive, keep it up! :) ). · AndonicO ^Talk 22:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese version of Astro (satellite TV)?

I notice that you placed this link, but the article doesn't exist as of now. I wonder if you are planning to create that article but haven't uploaded it yet. Please respond to this to avoid the removal of the link. Thanks. Hytar 20:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• I'd like to avoid the removal of the link. I must tell that I still want to create a better Japanese article on it, so that it can no longer satisfy the criteria for speedy deletion or any kinds of deletion. Starkiller88 03:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Alright, looking forward to your article. :) Hytar 15:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Gosh. I went and have a look at your extra short article you made. It was automatically tagged as a "preferable dictionary entry" and for speedy deletion.

If I were you, I would have create the article offline first before posting it. Anyway I'm not good in Japanese so I can't help to expand the article you did. Hope all goes well for you. Regards. Hytar 19:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apophis

Hello, I'd like to talk about the creation of the article about my open source/free software game Apophis, which is in development. Over the past few months, my article is subject to deletions, one of the reasons is blatant advertising, I would like to avoid. The project has since registered on the SourceForge.net page on June 30, 2007, and right now, the game is developed on the Axiom Engine, and is licensed under a GNU General Public License. Can you help me re-create this, so that it cannot consider spam, Wikipedia's deletion policy, as well as speedy deletion policies. Apophis is a Greek name of the ancient Egyptian enemy of Ra: Apep, the Uncreator, a serpent that dwells in the eternal darkness of the Duat (underworld) and tries to swallow Ra during His nightly passage. Apep is held at bay by Set, the Ancient Egyptian god of Chaos, one of the major plot elements of the game. I also know the plot, setting, and gameplay mechanics in Apophis are similar to Crysis. The temporary article on the open source game is created until a primary, reliable cited source that establishes its notability is found. Starkiller88 11:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have continued to insert false information into Emmy Rossum despite numerous warnings. Most recently, this where you claim she has dropped her acting career. In fact, the citation clearly states that she has absolutely not dropped her acting career, she has just temporarily dropped out of the film scene. This is entirely different and you have been told this over and over again. You may contest this block using the {{unblock|your reason here}} template if you believe the block was invalid. To any reviewing admins, please also see Talk:Emmy Rossum. --Yamla (talk) 16:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

You falsely claimed she "drops her acting career". The citation explicitly states that this is not the case. "Q: So film is in your past? A: Oh no. I've signed on for three." Not only has she explicitly not dropped her acting career, she has only taken a temporary break from films. --Yamla (talk) 17:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to contest this block without adding another unblock request because I strongly feel this block you've made upon me is invalid. Starkiller88 (talk) 10:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Although Starkiller88 states, "I didn't claim Emmy Rossum has dropped her acting career", he actually did. See here where he specifically states, "she drops her acting career". --Yamla (talk) 18:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

This point seems pretty subtle to me. I see that it is inaccurate to say that she "dropped her acting career," but at the same time the USA Today piece does talk about whether or not she has dropped acting and seems to come down overall on the side of that she did, at least temporarily. The statement Starkiller88 added may have been incorrectly worded, but I have a hard time not seeing this as an honest mistake, or just poor writing. Mangojuice^talk 18:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

See Talk:Emmy Rossum. This editor has been warned about this over and over and over and over again. The first few times this happened, we just engaged in discussion. But Starkiller88 has continued to insert this false information even though he knows it is absolutely not true. He has been blocked repeatedly. A block for a first offense of this nature would be absolutely inappropriate. When it has been going on for weeks, I think the block is appropriate. --Yamla (talk) 18:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Is my block over as of now? Instead of adding false info on Emmy Rossum, can I try out the sandbox instead? --Starkiller88 (talk) 10:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
