small world[edit]

OMG, you're from Cincinnati and drive a Jeep? Same. I don't drink beer, but my husband is huge fan of Ohio's craft beers. We could start a fairly well-stocked beer cave from our basement. Valereee (talk) 11:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Valereee, I just learned that my colleague, who insists on saying THE Ohio State University, wears clean pajamas every single day. And he and his wife have their own body pillows. I don't trust you Ohioans anymore. Drmies (talk) 02:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Not from Cincy but close (a little further north), and I've since lost my Jeep to one of the kids. It was a sad day. Hard to keep up with the craft beer scene anymore, but I still enjoy a nice frothy brew from time to time!
- Drmies, you trusted us before? ;-P --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm yeah, sure, maybe--then again, since my coach retired I don't know what's up or down anymore. Speaking of sad days... Drmies (talk) 03:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
THE Ohio State University drives me nuts. I'd revert on site if I didn't hate it so much. Clean pajamas every day sounds exhausting. What must their laundry basket look like at the end of a week? Valereee (talk) 10:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Horror[edit]

GoneIn60, please reconsider your consolidating on the discussion on the Horror film article. I feel like i'm being bullied and attack by the other user who has not been commenting on my suggestions and only bringing up my past edits and character. I struggled to find more information, and as soon as I did, it was just said as "too different", which I think makes sense as I've found new sources on the topic. The current consensus between you two, has errors as pointed out by the Rue Morgue source. As you were the only editor to actually comment on my suggestions per content instead of my editing, I would really hope you could reconsider. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:09, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only "error" you keep pointing to is the 1972 film, but even if we remove that, that still won't satisfy your concerns. It is just one of many. It appears that you have your mind made up, that material from the THR and NPR sources do not belong on Wikipedia. --GoneIn60 (talk) 02:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Intimidator 305[edit]

Not sure if you have seen the page move of KD's I-305 to Project 305. I think that was mistake. It looks to me like there is a Project 305 that involves making some changes to I-305 but I don't think that is going to be the new name of the coaster. I asked the person who made the move to provide a source but I'm not sure how often they check the site. Any idea if there is a time limit to undoing a page move? I was going to reach out to some admins, but I'm not sure how to search for admins who have helped us in the past.—JlACEer (talk) 18:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I replied on the article talk page and reverted the move. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 20:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Equilibrium plot revision[edit]

Hi, I saw your change to the movie Equilibrium's plot. I know the previous plot section I wrote was pretty long (over 1000 words) but I didn't know there was some sort of plot word count limit. Im pretty bummed that a bunch of time I spent writing a plot summary was just revised, and parts of the plot that showed that Preston was feeling emotions, were just left out. I think it would've been better if you just marked the plot as being too long, and needing to be cut down/ revised to be more concise. Can you give me a link to where the plot word count limit is stated?

Insnesnakos (talk) 01:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Insnesnakos: Yes, it can be frustrating sometimes to see something you spent a great deal of time on disappear from an article (in whole or in part), especially as a newer editor learning the ropes. However, rest assured you can always retrieve your previous edit in the page history. For example, you can click this link to see an old revision of the page right after you made your changes. If there are some small incremental changes you'd still like to make, you're welcome to try again, but for a major addition or restructuring, it might be best to discuss at this point on the article talk page.

Before you revisit that film's plot summary, have a look at MOS:FILMPLOT. This is a condensed overview of how to write plot summaries on Wikipedia. For a more detailed overview, see How to write a plot summary. Unfortunately, we cannot recap every event in the storyline that affects character development. In order to stay within 400-700 words, we have to carefully select the most important events, and sometimes that means cutting details that seem important but are ultimately unnecessary. Hope that helps. --GoneIn60 (talk) 10:51, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for giving me the link, I'm planning to retrieve my previous edit and cut it down.

Have a nice day,

Hello. Thank you for your additions to Top Thrill 2 on the Cedar Point page. I was eager to get the ball rolling & add it, but unfortunately I still don't have the necessary editing experience to add in everything twas lacking. SummeRStorM79 (talk) 01:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TTD2 page protection[edit]

I think it's time to ask an admin for page-protection. I'm sure you're tired of nameless IP editors, not familiar with Wikipedia policies, wanting to change parameters to fit their made-up definitions. This edit summary kind of says it all.—JlACEer (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JlACEer, yeah I already submitted a WP:RPP request that was declined on the basis that it was likely the same editor and per WP:PREEMPTIVE. I left a note for the declining admin here. The IP range will likely get blocked if they keep it up. I plan to escalate it further if so, thanks. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 02:15, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up on WP:GAMING VIOLATION aimed at taking you out[edit]

Apparently Nyxaros is trying to get you banned, with this sneaky complaint about you that he hopes is without your knowledge https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Daniel_Case&diff=prev&oldid=1227423220

This is one of 3 admins he will typically canvass to get someone banned and he has had some success with that tactic, which is why he will run to them as they are not aware of his gaming strategy here. As you pointed out, because "winning" is his goal.

If you think I am crazy, then pay close attention to his thinnly-veiled threat in this edit summary directed at you here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nyxaros&diff=prev&oldid=1227275111 where he says to you, "Yes I did get them, from partially blocked editors to indefinitely blocked ones. Bye."

There was in recent months an ANI brought by an admin when he violated the 3 revert rules. But because the person he was quarelling with was evading a block, the powers that be cared more about that than Nyroxas' LTA over many years (he was blocked twice according to his block log).

Giving you this heads up so you can at least answer to his complaint, and recommending you consider taking him back to the ANI for this behavior and his obvious editwarring and personal attacks against you and others over the last few weeks and months.

This line alone from him. "And I see that you are still continuing with your poor writing habits" is offensive enough that he should be indeffed, not only because it exposes his WP:NOTHERE mindset, but because its one of many like this over the years. Take care 2601:282:8980:C0F0:E0AB:A425:5347:4BBD (talk) 02:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate your concern, but I am not the least bit worried. If anything, they should be concerned about their own pattern of incivility toward other editors, most of which is unprovoked and blatantly obvious in their talk and editing history. A lot of it even occasionally turns aggressive. My recent interaction with them barely scratches the surface.

I had considered escalation, but hadn't quite reached that point yet (guess my skin is thicker than most). Perhaps that editor will save me the trouble by calling attention to it all. I was secretly hoping they would step away and move on, sigh. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 03:09, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem, though, is this 'editor' has many victims, and he knows just enough to stay under the radar to continue this game he plays with others under the guise of constructive editing. Yet, a deeper dive indicates many exhausting rambling weeks long arguments he provokes on many articles over relatively esoteric benign matters that he is able to exploit into full-blown textbook examples of disruptive trolling. And the chilling effect is has had on many articles over the years has harmed the readers as much as those daring to meaningfully contribute to wikipedia articles.

Simply look at the mess over at pages like "Oppenheimer" or even "Barbie" where valuable information was upheld for months, like the accolades "Barbie" received, or the subjective fanboying over "Oppenheimer" where he insisted that the film be called "the greatest movie of the 21st century". And when challenged, he immediately goes into abusive attacks that would drive anyone from this project.

Recent enough example:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Krimuk2.0&diff=prev&oldid=1218933230

"What's the point of owning the page because the sentence is too complex for your level of English?...You're just making yourself look worse and worse."

Not only is this racist, and the textbook definition of cutting personal attack, it exposes this editor's agenda. That wikipedia is a safe place to belittle others to fuel his persecution complex.

Then when called out on it, he doubles down:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nyxaros&diff=prev&oldid=1218934669

"Cringe. Where is this alleged "personal attack"? Offended over nothing? Go away now."

Yet, he's been around the block that he certainly knows what a personal attack looks like, as when he spent hours trying to dig up dirt on you, and hypocritically said this,

"I've found this. This is the user who attacked me out of the blue in 2022."

So I don't talk your ear off, my larger concern is that this is classic LTA in the form of WP:GAMING violation, since you only ever see it with him when looking at him over large periods of time, at the patterns. And thus will continue, as the horrible recent attack against an innocent party I listed above, about "you don't know English" , is the consequence of letting these internet sociopaths treat wikipedia as their stomping ground, with those he attacks as prey. And that he listed an alleged attack against you,this. while conveniently leaving out the context isn't a mistake on his part. It's his strategy.

Basically, he thinks he has found a clever way to get away with WP:OWN behavior, as illustrated by this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Boy_and_the_Heron&diff=prev&oldid=1222173141 which is one of many examples where he shows us his cards per say.

"I wrote the article, so I know what it says. Take it to the talk page."

If you do take a deeper look at his behavior, you will see that basically he has anointed himself delusionally as an admin of sorts, with more editing rights than others or at least "some", with snarky deliberately arrogant remarks like, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kingdom_of_the_Planet_of_the_Apes&diff=prev&oldid=1224173860

"...since some want to contribute without reading the source properly..."

enforced with harassment in the form of attacks hidden in edit summaries, like, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatomy_of_a_Fall&diff=prev&oldid=1223384429

→"Rv your 'poor' additions"

...AND THIS gem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bad_Boys_for_Life&diff=prev&oldid=1227259049

"The most unreasonable edit summary I have seen lately, congratulations."

...because, of course, when it comes to what should be allowed as a contribution to an article, he and he alone should be the arbiter (according to him) of what is reasonable and unreasonable, amirite?/kidding

So, until someone smarter and more experienced than the likes of me finally holds this editor accountable, who is clearly WP:NOTHERE for altruistic benefit of the wikipedia mission, this behavioral problem will continue. Which is why is needs to be taken over to a proper forum like ANI, as this problem has gone on for years and clearly won't stop on it's own. Which means this matter continues to slip in the cracks and everyone suffers-- and it's amazing how much wasted energy and resources one disruptive editor like him can have on a project like this.

And until it is proper escalated the larger more experienced community in their lack of proper action here is basically helping to normalize his behavior, and enable it to some degree. DanielCase is an example of a good admin who is fueled by this gaming violation into thinking it is a content dispute when as I evidenced it is clearly deeper than that. And I was simply giving a tip of an iceberg in the few examples I came across in a few minutes of browsing.

Sorry for the long tirade of sorts but it needs to be said if he does plan to escalate this, and personally it is sad to see good articles suffer in the development simply because of the tantrums of a few, so I figured it couldn't hurt to give you a few specifics so you know better where I was coming from and serious nature of it.

Thanks again for the kudos! And good luck and god speed. You do good work. 2601:282:8980:C0F0:A965:1D2F:6604:E84E (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
