Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Somehow I made one request before the template on the talk page was published. I made another request from the template when it was finally published, so there is a first request floating around randomly alongside a second that is connected to the template on the talk page. Sorry about that. BarntToust (talk) 23:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this: [[1]] was in reference to my edits that you deleted on The Lego Movie (franchise). It is extremely disrespectful to call someone an IP editor when their account is logged in at all times. I looked at your account, and it doesn't seem to be a month old, so that explains the confusion.

I understand I may have fluked when it came to Piece by Piece (2024 film) and I appreciate your enthusiasm and contributions for this site, but you can't just jump without a parachute. If you are unsure of how to value edits from people who are logged in and people who aren't, I would recommend Wikipedia: Help desk, Wikipedia:Teahouse, or Wikipedia:IP editors are human too if you're looking for an answer to this specific situation. I understand your account is recent and I will give you some flack for your mistakes, but mislabeling other users, especially when they take good pride in their years of edits, is not something that will be tolerated. Thank you. Zucat (talk) 00:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, we all seem to be deeply confused here. There was another IP editor doing that before your contributions, you probably might have been confused by their edits. I am deeply sorry for the confusion in making it seem like I was attacking you here, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

I have been watching this article and surrounding due to paid editors creating trouble, around this subject. If you will direct your attention towards the Piece by Piece article history, one intern created content without disclosing their paid contributions; the editor I linked to removed the paid content that they added on 7th June. I am again deeply sorry for you getting caught in the crossfire, and I must stipulate, your work here is much appreciated. BarntToust (talk) 00:46, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this is not about IP editors in the subject of them being IPs, but rather that there are COI edits being made which potentially disrupt the articles, and such information was recently causing problems. I want to further touch on that I never meant harm to you based on your contributions, but that we all seem to be catching the wrong ideas here. Check out Draft:Pure Imagination Studios here, you'll see they have been editing disruptive, blatant promotion, (and false information in trying to credit their company as a production co. in the Piece by Piece when it is not by any means of clear sources).

I really, truly mean no animosity towards you, it just seems that we have all fell victim to a massive misunderstanding. BarntToust (talk) 00:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[[2]] this should be the link where Theroadislong, an editor that seems pretty respectable on a first glance took the paid content out. I believe that you saw a (likely unrelated) IP account add vague and untrue information to the lego movie franchise article, which you expanded under the untrue (and very reasonable) understanding that it was true info. Hey, we all get confused sometimes, it's all not a very big deal in the long run. Much love to you, and good feelings for all! BarntToust (talk) 01:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: another IP editor has been doing the same thing today regarding the disruptive promotion on the Piece by Piece article, which was again reverted. Sorry for coming off as absolutely dismissive of IP editors, but there seem to be a few around this subject, connected or not, that are causing issues around this subject. One of which made edits that factually confused you, and which I unceremoniously, unrighteously caught you up in. I again apologize distinctly for that.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ivy Road is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ivy Road (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Keanu Reeves, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dogstar. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello. I just wanted to thank your for your dedication to uploading images to Wikimedia. However, I wanted to explain why I removed many of them from the Superman (2025 film) article. These articles are not supposed to become overloaded with excessive images as it can actually disrupt the display and readability of the text on different platforms (such as mobile). Per the image manual of style detailed at MOS:SANDWHICH, paragraphs should not be bundled (or "sandwiched") in-between two or more sets of images, and an image gallery of nine images all of the same set area is considered excessive and overkill by many. This Wikipedia article is not meant to be a repository for housing all images available, that is what WP:COMMONS is for. I created a category for this film there, which you can view here, though please be mindful of what images you add as not all of them are necessary to include in this encyclopedia, especially considering we are likely to have other images become available as filming continues or even in years to come that may be more relevant than some random set photos that are likely not of interest to the general public. Thank you for your understanding, and I encourage you to keep uploading images but to just refrain from adding far too many into a single article. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trailblazer101 Hey, thanks for taking that time. I was intent on a gallery, but yeah, that may not have been so good in practice. I do encourage you to check out Erik Drost on Flickr, in case you should find any of those other images helpful to illustrating the film, not just that section (one of his photos of James Gunn is used in his article, as well as the one we are talking about). There will indeed likely be many more from there, and that specific photographer is one who should be watched. I think one of his many images of the daily planet might be useful somewhere? I'm unsure about how, but it's central to the film's plot.

I really appreciate the time you've taken in explaining this all, with much love, BarntToust (talk) 02:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:IVY-ROAD-LOGO-2021.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for some of your recent additions across various MCU articles. I just wanted to bring to your attention about archiving the sources you add. Archiving is a vital way to prevent WP:LINKROT and to ensure the URLs we are adding are still available to check the cited material in the event URLs change, alter article content, or go offline completely (see what happened recently with MTV News as an example). Adding archives generally consists of three additional citation parameters: |url-status= (set to "live" when adding), |archive-url= (the url of the archive), and |archive-date= (the date the archive was created), in that order between |url= and |access-date=. It takes only a few extra moments to either create the archive or pull one from the Wayback Machine. Wikipedia:Link rot#Internet archives has handy code for you, if you choose, to create a bookmarklet in your browser to make it even easier, as you can simply click that bookmark on the page you wish to archive, and it will check the Wayback Machine for an archive, or then allow you to save it right then and there. I hope you will consider doing this just as a general editing habit to get into, but it also saves regular editors of the MCU articles like myself from going in afterwards to add archives as needed. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Favre1fan93 Duly noted, I'll look into arranging for a bot to do this work for all of us automatically, when I've got time. Also, I will look into the internet archive as well to do small stuff manually. I think a bot running is something we all need in those articles running every once in a while to do that part so editors can worry about content foremost. With much love, BarntToust (talk) 03:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bots do currently exist for archive maintenance, and I do believe there is one that may go around very infrequently to add missing archives. But as noted, if you can add them yourselves right when you are adding info in, that is the best practice. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can do! take care. BarntToust (talk) 04:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
