Mariano's status as 'retired'

I love your work and love your article, Y2k, but I think at this point it's silly to continually revert attempts at making his article reflect his retired status. For one, you asked for headlines on his retirement, Here is one. More importantly, you repeatedly ask for his 'retirement papers'. Such papers are entirely voluntary in MLB, we list thousands of players as retired who have never signed official papers. He was under a one year contract that has ended, repeatedly stated his intent to retire at season's end, and now that we're at season's end has again said "I'm done" (the link I posted).

First of all, no need to publicly insult my intelligence with "you really dont understand WP:OVERLINK". Second, WP:OVERLINK states "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article" and that's what I applied. -- Lyverbe (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

I think you are misunderstanding how to apply the rule. Key related subjects (e.g. actors from the film, main characters) shouldn't be omitted simply to adhere to a subjective guideline. Generally, topics should be linked in the lead regardless, and then they should be linked once in the body of the article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 02:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Green Day and U2 image and others

It has a fair use in that article. Why did you remove it. It was an image used to depict the performance of both bands together at Louisiana Superdome.

And, why cannot the quotes be there? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Because it all seems very excessive. Not every space in the right-hand margin of the article needs to be filled with something. Some of the images, like the skyline or New York and Miami, are merely placed for decoration. (See WP:PERTINENCE: "You should always be watchful not to overwhelm an article with images by adding more just because you can.") To me, the whole point of the timeline article should be the chronology of the various events in U2's history, not the decorative elements that we can place next to the prose. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:45, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
oh, I get the point. I don't care about the Miami or the NYC images, thinking well they were unnecessary, but what about the image of the music video for "TSAC". Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:53, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Any copyrighted image that is used with a non-free use rationale should be limited in its use, and it generally should only appear in articles in which it is used to identify the subject (e.g. the music video section of "The Saints are Coming" is the most relevant). For example, the Achtung Baby album cover image is only used in the album article to identify the subject of the article, since the image is copyrighted and not a free image. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 14:52, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Ok, can I add the image to the TSAC article? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't see why not, just be sure to adjust the non-free use justification on the image page to account for the fact that you're adding the image to a different article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 15:10, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Should I erase the non-free justification from Timeline of U2? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I would just modify it slightly so that it works for "The Saints are Coming" article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 15:18, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Done, please, make sure everything is ok. Thanks. Oh, also, can you find a reliable source that states that the new song by U2 was full released yesterday, 30 Oct? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:21, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

About ZooTV article and MacPhisto

The other day when I had a little bit of Internet access I could download a page that described each one of the shows where MacPhisto appeared. The speeches and the calls where explained, so I was thinking about making an article or a sub article for that, just wanted to ask for your opinion on this. I don't know much about this but, isn't MacPhisto enough relevant to have his own article? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I highly doubt that any of this would be notable enough to warrant its own article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 18:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
What about adding the list to the MacPhisto section in the ZooTV article? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 18:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't know what makes this list you're talking about notable, though. The Zoo TV article goes over each of Bono's live characters and explains how they were conceived, what their costumes were, and what kind of personality they had. I don't think there needs to be a list of what he said while in character as each of these personas. We're talking about a tour that was 157 shows, too. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 18:43, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I wasn't talking about to add everything Bono said. I was talking about, the shows where he played MacPhisto, like... date of the show, and name of the person/company he phoned. I was not sure, so I asked you first. Please don't get mad about my question. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 18:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm not getting mad, I just don't see how a list like this would pass various Wikipedia guidelines (WP:NOTDIARY, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:FANCRUFT). Furthermore, if you add information like this for MacPhisto, it would be probably make the rest of the article unbalanced in comparison to the sections on The Fly and Mirrorball Man. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:44, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I see, I haven't heard about tha Fancruft before, I better read that, I don't wanna look like a crazy fan or something. Thanks for the help and for your opinion. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Also, I making a draw of MacPhisto to add it to the section in the ZooTV, since we have a picture for The Fly and none for MacPhisto or The Mirror Ball Man, I am not sure I can make one of latter because I have never seen him in a picture close enough to catch the details. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 21:07, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

U2 for FT

I just read about this Wikipedia:Featured_topic_candidates/U2/archive1, and I would like to work toward have that Feature Topic. What do you think? I will ask User:Ironholds to see if he can make a peer review for Bono and I will start working in The Edge article's improvement. I would like to know if you are interested in this. Thanks. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:59, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Mariano Rivera

Yes so lets deprive people from useful links. No room is being saved by not listing all of the years with links. There will be two lines regardless. Sorry but thats silly BS.--Yankees10 21:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

By the way, you removed the All-Star Game MVP for who knows what reason Wait what? When was there a consensus about AS Game MVP's not going in the infobox? Please provide a link or something because I don't remember that at all.--Yankees10 21:19, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
I understand what you're saying, but if players want to reach the article for a specific All-Star Game, it's in the body of the article. An infobox is supposed to be a summary of the person, and all too often, it becomes a link farm. Regarding ASG MVP not being included in the infobox, please see here.

Nexus 7

Hi Y2kcrazyjoker4, regarding the Nexus 7 revert: The battery issue is an incredibly commonly reported issue (Google 'Nexus 7 won't turn on'), and is the chief cause of returns to Asus. What isn't so widely reported, and not officically by Asus/Google, is the cause, which is that the battery can shift by a couple of mm within its housing, causing the cable linking it to the motherboard, which doesn't have the extra length, to disconnect. Community fixes usually boil down to sliding a piece of card between the battery and the side of the phone, as per answer. I'll try to find a more 'official' type site explaining the issue and fix before adding the statement back to the Nexus 7 article. Cheers Grunners (talk) 10:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Arkham Origins

Why are you being a douche over this. I undid PART of your edit, PART, because it repeated info, and you've now reverted it twice, first time saying it wasn't explained why, the second time saying "the only thing awkward is saying a game moved its development away, as if a game has self awareness or Rocksteady was originally involved in the development of this game" yet editing the entire sentence into a worse state with the exact same problem in repeating that WB Montreal developed it and saying it in a poor way, where you are clearly straining to say it in a different way just for the sake of making the edit.

QOTSA

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Queens of the Stone Age, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. STATic message me! 17:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

A quick search shows hundreds of sources that could be used - plenty of critics have called them "stoner rock", I've chosen just a few. Hopefully this illustrates my point. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 18:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Genre warring

You'd better stop genre warring. Your arguments based on your personal knowledge don't matter. I warned you when reverting you but of course you didn't want to listen to me. Moreover you violated WP:SYNTH on Radio Ga Ga. Anyway here's what you got.

First off: if "stadium rock" was a genre, why doesn't the Wikipedia article for it identify it as a genre? Why doesn't that article have the genre infoboxes that every other genre article has? Furthermore, I don't think you have a clue what WP:SYNTH is for: that guideline says that you cannot use Fact A from source X and Fact B from source Y to arrive at your own conclusion - the guideline isn't outlawing the referencing of individual facts from separate sources, nor is it saying that the entirety of reference has to be used. Secondly, you are just as guilty of 3RR as I am, so I have no idea why you think reporting me is your solution. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 18:44, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't care of what Wikipedia says. Wikipedia is not a reliable source in nature. I only trust sources I'm able to find, that's it. Unlike you, I didn't reach 4 reverts, here's the huge difference between you and me. You violated WP:SYNTH because you removed stadium rock while it is perfectly mentionned, along with pop rock, in the corresponding review (or if you prefer you cherrypicked pop rock, which is certainly not a good idea). Anyway you shouldn't have started an edit war with me. That's all I have to say. Synthwave.94 (talk) 18:54, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Once again - you don't understand how WP:SYNTH works. If your argument is that you can't use multiple sources to cite multiple genres, then why would you keep synthpop as a genre, since that clearly comes from a different source than the one that sources pop rock and stadium rock? I removed stadium rock because it's not a distinct music genre. It's a performance style, or a movement in music touring/performance from the late 1970s. But there are no distinct stylistic elements of the music of "stadium rock" itself to separate it from other genres of music... unless your other identifying criteria is that it falls under the broad category of "rock anthem". You say Wikipedia is not a reliable source, but don't you think if there were enough reliable sources in existence to call "stadium rock" a genre, the article would have been formatted to call it a genre? Critics and journalists can call music whatever they want, but that doesn't make any description that they throw around a "genre". Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:21, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

So why does About.com (which is, as far as I know, a reliable source commonly used on Wikipedia) calls arena rock a "genre" in this case ? Synthwave.94 (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd put more stock in that if it was more than just a one-off article by someone writing for About.com, but I do not see any critical analysis in that article or any other about what makes music itself "stadium rock", other than the artist was from the 70's/80's and performed in arenas/stadiums.

Jim Thome

Hi Y2kcrazyjoker4. I wanted to thank you for your copyedits on Jim Thome, and wanted to ask you what your initial reaction would be as far as an FA candidacy. Are there any blatant oversights in the article? Does the prose need additional refinement? Thanks in advance. Go Phightins! 22:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

The last time I had looked it over, it looked like the prose was in good shape but that there were some seasons that were glossed over - while a lot of achievements/milestones were mentioned, it seemed as though a summary of overall performance for those seasons (e.g. end of year stats) was missing in some cases. I haven't read through the article more thoroughly since then, but I can do that if you'd like. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 22:58, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't see how any of the changes is an improvement over the way things were.... Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 00:36, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
There was nothing wrong with my edit. And there definitely should have at least been a reason for the revert. Anyways let me explain some of my changes. First was moving the K's before the saves: This is was a pure consistency move with almost all other infoboxes having the saves after W-L record, ERA, K's in that order. Second was changing WHIP to Walks plus hits per inning pitched: We have earned run average and not ERA, so I figured it should be the same with WHIP. Third is removing Award: Theres no reason for the word to be there just like "winner" after Gold Gloves and Silver Slugger is not necessary. Aren't we trying to save space in these infoboxes? Award is not necessary. Last is the AL Championship Series to ALCS: ALCS is the most common phrase, plus it saves space by just using ALCS.--Yankees10 01:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
Moving saves and WHIP last is OK by me. Unabbreviating WHIP to be seems to be at odds with your desire to save space (IMO, I think most people are concerned with saving vertical space so that infoboxes don't take over article pages). I think the difference between WHIP and ERA is that people still say "earned run average", whereas you never hear someone say "walks plus hits per inning pitched". The main problem I have is that having the full link adjusts the table format so that all of the numbers are squished to the right. I would be OK with it if you can break up the wikilink to span 2 lines instead of 1. "ALCS" might be common to baseball fans, but to casual readers who may not be familiar with the sport, I find it helps to spell out as much of the abbreviation as the infobox will comfortably permit. For the MVP Awards, I find it appropriate for consistency reasons to keep the word "award" at the ending (we don't currently say "AL Cy Young", "Delivery Man of the Year" or "AL Rolaids Relief Man"). Most people are not familiar with what these designations are. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 21:52, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Black Keys - new album (Turn Blue) release date

Hi - you recently reverted my changes regarding the release date of The Black Keys new album, Turn Blue.

The basic fact remains, per the band's own website: The album was not released today (05/12/14). The album will be released tomorrow (05/13/14). How is the French Amazon website a more valid source than the band's own website?

http://www.theblackkeys.com/turnblue

("AVAILABLE MAY 13TH")

I apologize if the edit I made was not done correctly. Please make the edit accordingly to Wiki's standards so that the page no longer lists the incorrect date.

EdgeDC (talk) 18:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

The first date on which an album becomes available is the release date, regardless of what the band's website may say (e.g. its US launch date). See here: "Only the earliest known date that the album was released should be specified; later release dates (incl. re-issues) can be mentioned in a Release history section."

Your recent editing history at Charlotte Hornets shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Tom Danson (talk) 19:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

The Closer

I don't know about you, but you just have to read Mariano's book "The Closer". It's a great book. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 11:01, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Ghost Stories (Coldplay album)

Sixteen-year-old kid FilBenLeafBoy added alternative rock on the infobox without notice, but he added on talk page: "I think that Ghost Stories is both Electronic and Alternative Rock. Songs like "Oceans" and "Magic" for example are Alternative rock... I added two times alternative Rock in "Genre" but an anonymous user insist to delete it. What do you think about it?"

If there's any reliable sources for being an alternative rock album, just wait and see. 183.171.161.89 (talk) 03:07, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Peer review on Death of Osama bin Laden

A peer review is being held at WP:Peer review/Death of Osama bin Laden/archive1 to enhance this article to FA status.Forbidden User (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I just saw that you fixed up a whole bunch of dead links from SI.com's moving around their content. A whole bunch of SI.com vault articles got tagged as dead on Jeter's bio too, and I need to fix them before its TFA, but I'm having a devil of a time finding the new links. How did you go about it? Simply searching the vault or Google is getting me nowhere. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

SI.com's search feature is an absolute abomination now. I've had to try several combinations of info in my searches to find the new URLs: article title, player name, author name, date. Sometimes I've had to go to Google to find them. Sometimes I had to reference an archive.org version of the dead article to pull a quote that I could search on Google (in quotes). But even then, I didn't have 100% success. Some articles from as recent as 2-3 years ago appeared to have gone completely dead. If you give me the citations for the articles you're looking to fix, I can try to find them for you. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 16:38, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
You could also try looking on archive.org for archived versions of the article. Go Phightins! 16:53, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
It is indeed a mess. Thanks for fixing the ones you found. I'll keep looking through archive searches. It's a shame archive.today isn't allowed because [dead link‍] this is the only version of that article I can find even after Google searching a quote (aside from someone who's hosting the article's text on their Angelfire page). – Muboshgu (talk) 17:34, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Input at FARC

Listen, since you've been here relatively long, can you offer an opinion regarding Manila Metro Rail Transit System FA status here?

Your recent behaviour

Hi. There are such things as hatnotes. Redirects do not have to live forever when a notable subject of the same name arises. If you want to retain the redirect, do so through discussion, not by making personal attacks. — MusikAnimal talk 19:09, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

I'd consider megalomaniac a compliment! Melicans (talk, contributions) 20:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey, long time, no talk! This was bound to happen - with such a flurry of editing happening in the article, it's quickly become a breeding ground for... less than stellar edits, and that's required a quick trigger finger on the revert button. I'm glad there are people that can see what I'm trying to do with the article. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 23:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, that's the one bad thing about this release and as soon as it dropped I knew it would be chaos. With a long leadup there's time to get the article organized ahead of time. Without even a title, everyone tries to do everything at once. It was pretty easy to see what you were trying to do, to be honest. All it took was actually looking at the edits that were being made! Better source? Check. Better prose? Check. NPOV integration into appropriate section? Check. I don't even know why the talk page complaint was made; why bother if you don't even know why you're doing it? Bizarre. Melicans (talk, contributions) 00:37, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Problem solved. Now back to your megalomania! Melicans (talk, contributions) 01:43, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation Page on Songs of Innocence

Hey, I thought the disambiguation of the U2 album was necessary simply because the title is taken from an extremely well-known book by Blake (which Bono all but confirmed by saying he may make a second album called "Songs of Experience" which forms the second half of Blake's book) and querying "Songs of Innocence" still redirects to that book's page, disambiguating the two on the album's page may be quite necessary to clear up any confusion users may have.Artimaean (talk) 21:12, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

There is no reason to add a disambiguation hatnote regarding the book, though, to the U2 album article. There's no way you could have reached the album article accidentally looking for the book. If you searched "Songs of Innocence", you'd have been directed to the book page. If you started at the disambiguation page "Songs of Innocence and of Experience (disambiguation)", you can clearly have the book and U2 album differentiated for you, making any potential confusion a non-issue. Thus, an article with "(album)" at the end of the title doesn't need any further disambiguation from a book. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 00:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
