Please stop adding crew to navboxes. This goes against our guideline WP:PERFNAV which states Avoid adding [...] crew members into navboxes for the productions they worked on. This includes [...] writers. --woodensuperman 15:22, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

These are not just writers, but head creatives, sometimes literally the show creators. I would also apply WP:IAR here, as people would want to find them in a navbox (also, that was not how the policy was designed). (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It doesn't matter that they're the show creators. Some writers create many shows and therefore to include them causes WP:UNDUE weight on their pages. And it is how the guideline was designed, as I was one of the authors of the guideline. --woodensuperman 15:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, (Oinkers42),

I just came across some categories you emptied and then tagged for CSD C1 speedy deletion and noticed that you didn't inform the page creator about the tagging so I have done this step for you. This is an important step in all deletion processes (CSD, PROD, AFD/CFD/RFD/etc.). I recommend using Twinkle to do all of your tagging, whether for deletion or to tag articles to note problems or posting warning to editors on their User talk pages. It's an editing tool used by many editors, especially those who patrol new pages along with a lot of administrators, too. Just make sure when you are setting up Twinkle to set your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator" and then Twinkle will post these notifications on your behalf.

Twinkle is useful for so many things from reporting vandals to noticeboards to posting Welcome messages to using it to set up deletion discussions or PROD articles. It basically remembers all of the necessary templates so you don't have to remember them or go searching for the right one. It also will maintain deletion logs for you if you like to look over or review those stats. I encourage you to try it out some day. Thank you for all of your contributions! Liz ^{Read!

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. I see you mass reverting other editors without providing a reason or argument for doing so. You need to stop this immediately. The only time a revert should not have a proper edit notice is for blatant obvious vandalism. -- ferret (talk) 17:51, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ferret: How was my editing disruptive, I did not actually edit war and was not planning to. I was just expressing grievances. (Oinkers42) (talk) 17:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Let me repeat: An editor made a change, and gave a reason for doing so. You reverted without providing a reason. This is disruptive by its very nature. You must explain your edits. -- ferret (talk) 18:19, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ferret: I did give a reason, though admittedly not on every revert. I admittedly could have made that more clear that I was reverting it for the same reason as the previous one. (Oinkers42) (talk) 18:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wide-scale edit warring is disruptive by itself -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 19:58, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Guerillero: But I only made a single revert to each of the pages, I would hardly classify that as edit warring. (Oinkers42) (talk) 01:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You have not engaged in any form of discussion on the merits of the change before or since the reverts. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 11:26, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Guerillero: I did, as seen here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disney#A massive discussion on franchise navboxes (and navboxes as a whole). It was covered in this discussion and the other editor was aware of this. It may not be the exact same topic, but it was definitely covered here. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Template:Jiminy Cricket in animation has been nominated for merging with Template:Disney's Pinocchio. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. --woodensuperman 10:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Simon Belmont, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

I know your vote wasn't successful (in ensuring the category was kept), which is unfortunate as it will make work on pages like List of fictional vegetarian characters harder, but I'm still grateful that you voted to keep it. Historyday01 (talk) 15:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
