Hi Mr.Shadow514,

You've been here for two months now, I hope you like it here. As you probably have noticed, some of your edits are reverted. Have you taken the time to get to know the guidelines? You might learn a thing or two. And like I said in our previous discussion, you seem to be into video games and there is an active WikiProject that aims to improve video game-related material.

In this edit, you wrote a correct edit summary: there is no correlation between critical reception and financial success. Shitty films make a ton of money all the time, right? Well, you added the word 'but', stating that despite its poor reception it did make money. But those two things aren't connected, 'but' suggests there is.

Software is written in the present tense. RenderWare still is a video game engine, even if nobody uses it anymore.

A common error you'll see often is mixed to negative, or mixed to positive. Mixed doesn't mean 'medium', 'mediocre', 'middle of the road', but means both positive and negative.

Please take a look at the guidelines, you'll learn a thing or two. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which guideline are you referring to? Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 11:49, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't see the colored lettering in the word 'guidelines'? I made what is called a piped link to WP:MOS, which is a wikilink to the guidelines. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, i see. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 11:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anyways, when your saying something on paragraph 2, even though you do agree what the summary says, when you switched back from "but" to "and", your making it appear like mixed reception and box-office faliure are similar, and that's not how it works. Just sayin. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 14:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's two separate things, critical reception and box-office performance. If you like, you can also make it into two sentences: 'it was a critical failure. It was a box-office success' or something similar. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 18:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mr.Shadow514, I explained before that adding a small word like 'but' changes the meaning of sentence. So you were right to remove 'also'. Pitbull is an American, born to Cuban parents. Describing his work, do not unnecessarily call him Cuban-American. Asking another user if they think if "it would be really cool if all the old 3D Sonic games would be playable on PS4/PS5 through emulation" is not what a user talk page is for. Wikipedia is not a social media site. Talk pages, including other users' talk pages, are intended to help build a better Wikipedia. Since it's their talk page, I'll leave it up to Sergecross73. I have to ask you again to please, take a moment to familiarise yourself with the guidelines. Or check out the WP:WELCOME page. You might learn a thing or two! And if you can't find your way around, you can ask a question at the WP:TEAHOUSE, or ask me or another friendly editor. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:04, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, but anyways regading from the beginning, what's wrong with Cuban-American? Other articles from the album does that and it's his Spanish album. And besides, he can be called whenever he wants.Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 13:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because cultural heritage, ethnic background, skin color, sexuality, religion, etc. isn't necessary to mention. See WP:NATIONALITY. What do you mean, "he can be called whenever he wants"? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 13:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He's notable for being a Cuban-American. You can't be strict over every single thing. It doesn't work like that. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 14:25, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I pointed you to a relevant guideline. Articles do not unnecessarily mention ethnicity. You're free not to agree with it, but ignoring it is considered disruptive. Have you taken the time to check out the guidelines yet? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the Guideline. It only implies that the guidelines are about the any actors themselves, not about albums articles. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 14:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would be common sense, if a main article about a person doesn't mention it, any work they created wouldn't do so either. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:55, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My other question would be this. Even if things are or were notable, why don't they sometimes allow them? Depending what it is. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 19:27, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? What wouldn't be allowed? Wikipedia is not WP:CENSORED so there are plenty of articles about controversial or even shocking topics. Occasionally there might be a cautionary hatnote, like the article on suicide for instance, which has a hatnote for suicide prevention. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Example is this. Even if Pitbull is notable as "Cuban-American", you sometimes don't allow that all because ethnicity aren't mentioned. It dosent have to be. And there is no guideline saying you can't add race on songs articles or albums. And besides, on most articles about Camila Cabello and their songs, they use "Cuban-American" even though they wouldn't necessarily use that, but yet they use that term. So what's the difference? Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 16:03, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is largely voluntary, there's only so much that can be done. Thousands of articles still need copy-editing, additional references to be added or maybe even outright deleted. I am not familiar with Camila Cabello, but likewise, it's unnecessary to mention. And it's not that I personally do not allow you to mention ethnicity, there is an established guideline says so. And going against guidelines is considered disruptive. Imagine seeing "Black", "Jewish", "Orthodox Catholic", "gay", "blind", "disabled" or whatever description you can come up with: it's unnecessary to point out. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 17:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok, for other things, that's a different story. Also, Camila Cabello is a singer who was part of the famous girl group Fifth Harmony, who left the group in 2016 and became famous for her solo hits. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 18:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 17:37, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i could handle the source. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 17:37, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Follow WP:BRD. Your edit is being contested by 2 separate editors. Stop trying to make it. Wait until there is a WP:CONSENSUS. Sergecross73 msg me 17:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Sorry for edit warring. I dont mean to do that on purpose. I just get frustrated that you would unnecessarily disagree about the fact that you never let term be allowed. I did look at most of the guidelines. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 18:59, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm getting rather concerned, as it really feels like every discussion you take part in, whether it's on this talk page or article talk pages, ends up with you saying you don't understand the most basic things being explained to you. Instead, you seem to resort to repeating the same weak arguments no one agrees with. I can't tell if you are being stubborn, or struggle with reading comprehension, but you really need to make a better effort to understand others. Wikipedia is a collaborative website. You need to be able to work with others. Sergecross73 msg me 17:09, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop needlessly tinkering with labels. Every other edit you make, you're arguing with someone about mentioning nationality, musical roles, whether or not to force the term "sequel" into article - it needs to stop. Find something more constructive to do. Please reflect on why your edits are so frequently undone. This can't continue on like this, you need to change your approach. Sergecross73 msg me 15:38, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand how you feel, but it's just that it gets repeating and acting like we love repetitive the same artist, depending who it is, and that's not how it works like that. That's all. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 17:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but editors who continue making the same mistakes without learning, and continue to tax the community's time and patience with errors and time wasting, generally eventually find themselves blocked from editing for being disruptive. If you don't change your ways, I expect the same will eventually happen to you. Sergecross73 msg me 17:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
