Speedy deletion nomination of Fractal (EDM Artist)

Hello LivinAWestLife,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Fractal (EDM Artist) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 15:25, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Au5

A tag has been placed on Au5, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/LivinAWestLife, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. 2601:589:8000:2ED0:1CFD:A2E8:8DDB:FF0F (talk) 15:48, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gaia (Fractal album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ambient (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Talk:Au5

Hi. The correct place to appeal a deletion is Wikipedia:Deletion review, not the talk page of the deleted article.

Never Say Die

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Never Say Die. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 12:37, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of tallest buildings in the United States into List of tallest buildings in North America. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

June 2019

Your addition to Boulder, Colorado has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:31, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Philadelphia

Usually, a GA nomination should be started by a major contributor to the article. And from a look, you do not appear in the top editors here, and Philadelphia is nowhere to be found in your top pages edited here. Please consult one of these people before nominating an article.

Monstercat and primary sources

Hello, I have a feeling that you don't like templated messages, so I'll just say this in my own words. Regarding recent edits you made to Monstercat, Wikipedia has always relied on reliable third-party sources for all content. Since there's no third party coverage for early Monstercat releases (at least not until a reliable news feed or documentary releases containing a history of the label that covers individual songs), it's probably best not to include the material for now. See also WP:YOUTUBE.

However, before you ask about the artists section, I'll just say that the Monstercat website is the only verifiable source we have for most artists' inclusion until something else in the current year comes out. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:31, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello LivinAWestLife, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Benin City have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 11:46, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never say die

Please note that disambiguation pages like Never Say Die are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

There is no mention of the record company on Dubstep, so it is not a good link for this subject. However, I did notice that quite a few articles mention Never Say Die Records, so I chose one which mentions the record company many times (Eptic) and added it. Feel free to change Eptic for something else, but please make sure that it mentions Never Say Die Records. Leschnei (talk) 13:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I moved it up with the other non-song, non-album music entries. Single-entry sections clutter up the page and make it harder for readers to quickly scan for their article of interest (in my opinion). Leschnei (talk) 13:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

55 Bishopsgate

Hi, thanks for creating the 55 Bishopsgate article. However, for consistency we use AGL height on Wikipedia, not AOD. In the article you have given the AOD height of 284 metres, which is as per source but it would be better if a source could be found for the AGL height. Going by either AGL or AOD height it will not be the tallest building in the City of London, unless you are mixing AGL and AOD heights. It also does not say it will be tallest in the City in any of the sources. QuintusPetillius (talk) 20:49, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will correct that soon. I’ve heard much the same on SkyscraperCity but I couldn’t find a source that used the AGL height. LivinAWestLife (talk) 00:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Selfstudier (talk) 10:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the Zionism article is subject to a consensus required restriction, meaning that reverted additions cannot be restored without consensus. Thank you. Selfstudier (talk) 10:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that with your series of edits at Special:Diff/1249128458 and Special:Diff/1249129510 you have violated WP:1RR restriction once and the consensus required restriction twice. Please take care in regards to this matter in the future. TarnishedPath^talk 00:24, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bratislava

Dont start edit war or you will be blocked again. You changing photos as you want in all articles wihtout any discussion and you starting edit war with other users. Stop it. Dasomm (talk) 01:28, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only person that has had any problem with my updating of articles is you, bud. Maybe you should start a user page on your account so other people can settle out disagreements with you? Not having an account means I also can't determine how much experience you have with editing Wikipedia at all.

Wikipedia is ultimately about all participants contributing, not one control freak trying to keep a page the same way as it is without proper justification. If you have a problem try to bring up the issue on the Bratislava talk page and see if others want to reach a consensus. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have more then 4000 edits and I contributed mostly to articles about Slovakia and Bratislava so dont tell me I dont have experiences with editing Wikipedia. Your chosement for photos is very poor, you have no eye for nice photos and you trying to downgrade the article. Stop with your disturbing edits.Dasomm (talk) 01:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is a lack of good, recent photos. If you're Slovak you could consider taking a new picture of the new skyline. Otherwise having the outdated skyline picture would be a problem for the article's infobox.

My edits are not "disturbing" by the way - it seems like you don't know what that word means in English. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a Photo Gallery

Wikipedia is NOT a photo gallery. Stop adding images to the articles without any good reason. Edard Socceryg (talk) 02:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article already has photos, in case you couldn't tell. There were 7 before, and 7 after. So your reply makes 0 sense. LivinAWestLife (talk) 10:49, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can tell you barely have any experience with Wikipedia, given your userpage and talkpage are both short, and you don't edit much pages other than a vested interest in the Tehran page for some reason. Please explain why you would prefer the old collage with the Azadi Tower as the first image rather than the one I propose. I wouldn't mind hearing you out. If you don't have a legitimate reason then what you're doing is simply blind edit warring. LivinAWestLife (talk) 10:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LivinAWestLife Azadi Tower is the main icon for the city. Tehran is NOT a western city and nobody knows Tehran because of its skyline. The image you suggested actually is not presenting the city. Edard Socceryg (talk) 23:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide any proof saying that Azadi Tower is the definite main icon of the city. The Wiki page for the tower only states it is one of several famous landmarks in Tehran. Many cities across the globe have many identifiable landmarks but they will still have a picture of the skyline as the first image: New York City, Tokyo, London, Toronto, Milan, Madrid, etc. because it is near universally agreed that an overview of the city represents the city best - not a single monument.

If no one knows Tehran because of its skyline, hardly any non-Iranians will recognize Azadi Tower either. LivinAWestLife (talk) 03:19, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Azadi Tower article on Fa wiki actually explained that. Btw.. Half of the population of Tehran barely has enough food to eat. According to the official statistics of the city council, a large part of the city's population lives in the slums. Then you suggest the photo of the most expensive neighborhood in Iran as the main photo of the article? This is (kinda) like a propaganda for the Iranian government. If you repeat it again, I will report it to the administrators notice board. Edard Socceryg (talk) 05:49, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using Ad hominem attacks against another editor? I'm no fan of the Iranian government. This is simply the part of Tehran that is most built-up. Every city's downtown is more built-up compared to its poorer parts. Look at Mumbai, which has a lot of slums, but whose main picture is yet again a picture of the skyline. Same for Dhaka. This line of reasoning makes no sense. If it is about wealth then a section of a more common area of Tehran would represent the city more accurately.

You will find that you have very little ground to stand on if you report this issue. I also wonder why you have such a vested interest in keeping the article this way. Going through the edit long I don't see that you have contributed much to the article besides reverting my changes. In any case, you only have 86 edits - likely a new or infrequent editor. This indicates you don't have much experience with how standards and guidelines are applied on Wikipedia. Again, if you have an issue, bring it up on the article's talk page. LivinAWestLife (talk) 06:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The number of edits I have has nothing to do with this. On the contrary, you have a history of edit wars. You add images to important articles without any discussion. The presence of many of these images in articles makes no sense. Edard Socceryg (talk) 23:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me which of the images I've added make no sense. Go ahead. Name a single other article. LivinAWestLife (talk) 00:24, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have never added an image unreasonably to an article. I've only done one of the following:

- Replace an old or poor quality lead skyline image with a newer or better one;

- Modernize the image collage format;

- Find a new lead skyline image in the absence of one. LivinAWestLife (talk) 00:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
