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]

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

Never Say Die

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

  • 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 ("

Information icon 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.

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.

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]
Hi there,
I know this thread is old, but I just wanted to inform you that the article, that you are referencing, Never Say Die Records has just been approved. And have already included it in the disambiguation page: Never Say Die.

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]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the

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.

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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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]

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]
@]
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]

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.

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]

To Do

Hey :)

I just checked your user page and saw that you have the lists of tallest buildings in Kobe and Sendai on your 'To do' list. I've been thinking about creating those articles too, along with a few others (for Hiroshima and Kawasaki, for example). I think I'll go ahead with the Hiroshima and Kawasaki articles, and I’d be happy to help with the others if you want.

Cheers! 8Tokyo8 (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I’d be happy to let you do those. LivinAWestLife (talk) 10:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking arbritration/intervention

Hey

this issue in WP:ANI
.

Essentially, an IP address has been making unsubstantiated claims that Johor Bahru is the "nation's second tallest city", while citing the CTBUH database which by itself states that Johor Bahru and Penang each has 3 skyscrapers above 200m. This appears to me to be a misrepresentation of facts, since both urban areas have equal number of buildings above 200m, and in any case, contradicts List of cities with the most skyscrapers. Said IP address has also been making fallacious arguments and personal attacks ever since, insisting on arbritrarily using the 200m limit to measure the "tallest cities".

What's your thought on this? Thanks. hundenvonPG (talk) 18:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll offer some thoughts over there. For a start I will say that "tallest city" is a nebulous concept as there are many different ways you can define it; instead having "largest skyline" as a metric would make more sense and we can just count the number of 150m+ buildings. I'll comment on that thread. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Might not do it immediately though, it's late in my area. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks LivinAWestLife.
The ANI case appears to have gone nowhere. I have opened a new
DRN on this issue. Feel free to add your feedbacks there. Cheers. hundenvonPG (talk) 08:44, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hi @LivinAWestLife, as you can see in the thread, we are not arguing which city has the tallest skyline, but instead is about the number of 200m+ buildings which has nothing to do about which city has taller skyline. 155.69.190.63 (talk) 03:51, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"not arguing which city has the tallest skyline"
Excuse me, who wrote this?
"Johor Bahru is also currently the nation's second tallest city in terms of number of 200 metres and above skyscrapers."
Denial of your own claims? Funny! hundenvonPG (talk) 04:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you remain calm and be civil, instead of using the word like ‘Funny?’? There's nothing to be panic of. Stay back and relax so we can discuss in a peaceful manner, okay? As of current version of the page, I didn't see there is any sentence that says "Johor Bahru is also currently the nation's second tallest city in terms of number of 200 metres and above skyscrapers.". All I saw was second highest-ranked that the one you mentioned was the versions way before this discussion? You want to talk about the current version or what? 155.69.190.63 (talk) 04:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know that there's significant difference between second tallest city and second highest-ranked? Again, I hope that you will be able to stay calmer and we are here to help you. There's nothing to worry about. And most importantly, we are here to make Wikipedia better, isn't it? If you keep panicking, it is definitely not helpful for us to achieve this goal, right? Let's maintain peace in the discussion page. 155.69.190.63 (talk) 04:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can also see that the Wiki pages for other big cities in the world like Dubai and Tokyo also mention the same thing about the number of 200m+ buildings (not which city is taller), the argument that which city has taller skyline is started by @HundenvonPenang, not me, I am just arguing on the ranking published by CTBUH. 155.69.190.63 (talk) 03:53, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also on the number of 200m+ buildings, I have recently informed CTBUH authority on the completion of the two new skyscrapers of Space Residency, standing at 230m both. The number will add up to 5 soon. I just received email from CTBUH that they will update the JB list and ranking later. 155.69.190.63 (talk) 03:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion at ANI has been opened regarding your recent edits.[1] Springee (talk) 00:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Instead of vandalizing the article why don't you hop on Google scholar and review some sources. There is quite a lot of untapped academic writing about the ideology of the Republican party and, as I've mentioned recently at article talk, it's frankly far more than one editor can read (likely in a lifetime). That'd be a more productive way of trying to correct the neutrality issues with the article over a long-term period. Simonm223 (talk) 16:35, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I only edited the page out of frustration, with the intention to change it back an hour later. Am feeling very pessimistic about world events right now. LivinAWestLife (talk) 17:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I get being frustrated but those feelings are probably more suited to a group chat than to Wikipedia. The invitation stands open: I could use some help cataloging all the unique ways academics call the Republicans far-right extremists. Simonm223 (talk) 17:06, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Looks like I've stirred up a bit of controversy (as my edit made its way onto r/WikipediaVandalism, which I did not intend) so I think I'll likely not involve myself in this further, seeing that it's very likely I won't be perceived as a neutral party.

Hi LivinAWestLife. Thank you for your work on National Satellite Test Facility. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for starting this page for a new major piece of UK infrastructure. It would be great to have it linked from elsewhere. When creating pages, its helpful to have references spanning a range of time periods, in order to demonstrate sustained coverage. Adding categories also helps.

Request reason:

I didn't actually do any actual vandalism - I originally corrected someone else's vandalism that I found on the

2025 4 Nations Face-Off
. You can see that I undid the edit from the editor that vandalized the page in the first place. I was then unsure if just reverting was the best choice for the page, especially for a potentially politically sensitive page, so I undid my own revert and wanted to let someone else fix the page. (You can see that I reverted my own edit to fix the page). You can check the edit history on the actual page for proof.

In any case, I have made good-faith edits on Wikipedia for over 6 years.

Accept reason:

As discussed below. No worries. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:49, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, do you notice more than one instance of vandalism? I've quickly glanced through this user's recent history and didn't see any other disruptive edits, but I could be missing something. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that this user's explanation is quite reasonable; I can't think of any other explanation for the edit sequence, really. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 05:54, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really buying it. The user has recently vandalized an article to make a political point ([2]) and has described the initially-reverted vandalism as "nice" with a smiley ([3]), before restoring it over 15 minutes later ([4]) without any indication of just having restored something they correctly had identified as vandalism and found nice. I'm not questioning the good faith of other edits, I'm questioning what I perceive as a dishonest excuse. Vandalism from experienced users is especially dangerous because it misuses reputation that makes most recent changes patrollers overlook such edits. It can take weeks until an experienced editor's vandalism is noticed and undone. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:22, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I accept responsibility for that edit a few weeks ago. It was not sincere of me to do so and I did it out of frustration. My nice was intended to indicate that I found the vandalizing edit amusing before changing it back. I'm unsure if such behaviour is considered unacceptable on Wikipedia or not - if it is, I apologize. LivinAWestLife (talk) 22:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, that's far closer to an unblock for me. The issue with the amused action (and I do understand your amusement, I'll admit) is twofold:
  • By performing any action on Wikipedia with your experience, your history, your contribution count, your extended confirmation, your perhaps even known-as-good-editor name, you signal to others: It's unlikely that this action will be harmful. Others don't have to check it the way they check every newcomer's edit. So re-doing vandalism makes the situation worse than it was: Okay, someone trusted had a look, I'll look at something else in the queue. By re-doing vandalism, the vandalism disappears from [5], [6] and whichever other filters other recent changes patrollers have set up in their tools.
  • By performing any action on Wikipedia including restoring others' additions, you take full (including legal) responsibility for them. You are responsible for your own actions, not Wikipedia and not others who made similar edits before. If something libelous is added to the article about a living person and you undo and restore it blindly, that's really dangerous. Wikipedia is not a playground and actions here can harm real people due to Wikipedia's reach and the trust people place in the encyclopedia despite disclaimers telling them not to. I know you didn't vandalize a biography but [7] came close.
If that's clear, I personally am fine with unblocking. Perhaps you can confirm and I'll go ahead. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I understand that harmful edits and vandalism are not to be taken lightly, especially if Wikipedia is to continue to be seen as a reliable source for millions. If I ever commit another infraction like that again, please feel free to ban my account. LivinAWestLife (talk) 22:47, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed in Special:Diff/1278631621/1278672436 the 1= was removed from the {{usurped}} template. In this case it didn't cause a problem, but would if the URL contained an "=" which is fairly common. Thus recommend avoid removal of "1=" for this template as best practice, for any template where a parameter is a URL. For example:

URL without "=" and without "1="
[8][usurped]
URL with "=" and without "1="
{{{1}}}[usurped]
URL with "=" and with "1="
[9][usurped]
