BLP and the Six Flags Incidents Page
Hey Spike, I've been watching the Six Flags Incidents page since dropping some content in there some time ago and have been watching you for some time working on removing BLP-type content. I think an explanation on the talk page might help. I've got the time and am willing to do some top-down work to get the document cleaned up both WRT formatting and removal of BLP-type content. Drop me a shout at my own page. Ogre lawless (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Pointless Disneyland links
Looks like 71.116.162.179 is adding links to Disneyland articles to a website called "Original D" and I'm pretty sure those links add nothing new to the articles. --blm07 23:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey everybody. I finally figured out how this site works and what it is for. I am very sorry for adding the links to Original D everywhere. I was getting frustrated because some links were staying that seemed to be pointless or had nothing to do with the attraction while the Original D links had Hidden Mickey Locations, Tips, and a Video of every attraction that I added it to. I won't do this again, I really apologize for the mass spamming. I would like everyone to consider the edit I made on 5/14/08 on the Disneyland Park main page. I don't know how to link to it, I'm sorry. But it made the external links easier to read and I included several sites (not just Original D) that I feel are very informative and all have something to add to Wikipedia.71.116.162.179 (talk) 01:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Pinball
I see that you arbitrarily decided to move the contested section rather than join in the discussion that had already been established regarding that portion of the article. As a courtesy to those of us who were having the talk (and those that you may be involved in in the future), can you please check to make sure that there isn't some sort of discussion taking place that is trying to reach consensus before making your own decision as to what to do? In this case, the end result may have ended up as "keep it integrated". 'preciate it. SpikeJones (talk) 11:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Sources of roller coaster data
I'd normally ask the head of the roller coaster wikiproject this, but he's on a long wikibreak. I've seen you around quite a bit, so maybe you'll have some insight on my question.
Currently, we use RCDB as a reliable source for roller coaster data. But what if a coaster's data on RCDB doesn't match up with its data on the park's official website? I've seen this happen in several cases. Which should be used as a more reliable source?
Perhaps the park that owns the coaster would know best -- then again, their website might be more concerned with marketing and "round numbers" than accuracy.
I know RCDB is concerned with accuracy, but there are probably still mistakes if they've acquired numbers second-hand: their site says, "The rcdb's data was compiled from a plethora of sources: Usenet, Internet, amusement parks, roller coaster manufacturers and enthusiasts."
Is there a consensus on this? Please reply on my talk page. I've posed the same question to a few other active editors of coaster articles, so I can get several people's input and not just one.
Thanks!

Incidents at Disney parks
Re: The mention of motion sickness in the above article
I agree that a mention of motion sickness incidents can be of interest to the reader. However, the article does not mention anything about subsequent orange or green lines, as well as such ride changes not being the scope of the article. The article only deals with medical incidents.
Many, many rides at Disney cause motion sickness, yet none others rate a mention. This would make mentioning it for the Space ride inconsistent with the rest of the article.
As I said, I do agree that it is noteworthy. But perhaps it is better suited to the article about the Mission: Space ride itself instead of a periphery article that deals with a more generalised topic.

Hihi, the scene you keep deleting is shown in the trailers, any reason that you can't take it to the talk page now that the article has survived AfD?

I Don't Belieeeeve IIIT!
I am Tobyphoby and I am totally outraged and apalled that you got rid of a perfectly valid story about Mr Mcpherson, 97 at the time, and still fighting strong to this day. Mickey was in the seat behind him and was accused to have stabbed him. I was there when this event occured and the atmosphere was electric as blood poured from Mr Mcpherson's back and Mickey was handcuffed while Pluto watched on in horror. It was unforgettable and to delete that section within a minute is utterly butterly trampy! So please bring it back. It doesn't need any references: The story speaks for itself. And as for notability; FORGET ABOUT IT! So please bring it back--Tobyphoby (talk) 21:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
confusion
Now I'm just plain confused. Regardless of whether it's The Hill School or Hotchkiss School, what, exactly, does this mean? I ask more out of curiosity now than anything else. Are you arguing that the rules for universities don't apply to schools? Or that there's a separate rule for schools that I've just missed? Cheers! Esrever (klaT) 19:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, we are speaking the same language then. I was actually quoting the bottom part of the naming conventions to begin with, because it explicitly addresses the use of The in the university article names (indicating that, generally, The should be avoided). Like you, I was extrapolating that to refer to high schools, too, although for a different end, I think. While I still think "The Hill School" looks funny, at least that really does seem to have mainstream usage. Esrever (klaT) 20:36, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Copyrighted photographs and NFCC
To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of images could be added either, but the question we should always ask is, "Does the image show anything unique about the incident that can't be expressed through text?" If the image is descriptive enough, (say, showing a derailed rollercoaster), it may qualify. I'm not sure how much my response helps you, but I deal better with specifics than generalities... which gets me to the Fabio picture.
My belief is that the Fabio picture probably qualifies as fair use, since the video/images of the incident was as much of the story as the incident itself (especially since it left a pretty nasty gash on a guy whose fame is based on his looks), but I haven't been able to find a source to back this point. Then again, it might be enough to provide a descriptive illustration of the incident.
Do my explanations make sense? --Mosmof (talk) 04:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Template modifications

- There's another edit war a-brewin over in Disney's Wide World of Sports, so I was bold and edited the template. I've checked other Disney parks at random and everything seems OK. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Wide World of Sports
(a duplicate of how I replied on my talk page) I did ... it lies within the northwest quadrant of the interchange of I-4 and US 192, something Disney has owned and controlled almost since day 1. It lies within the boundaries of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, another sign that it's on Disney-owned and Disney-controlled property. A few days ago, I did modify the location subhead in the WDWR article to mention that WWoS and the All-Star Resorts were located in Osceola County, something that is not in question. This edit war (which even I got warned about) is again about how one editor wants things to be listed when a group of editors has already established how that will be discussed.
If you read Simon's posts, he says WWoS lies some 15 minutes away from the resort, which is patently not true. While WWoS is in Osceola County, it is still well within WDW's borders. Hopefully this can be resolved peacefully, going forward ... but somehow I doubt it.

declined - semiprot disney princess
Hello. You stated that there wasn't enough disruptive edits to warrant semi-protecting the page (I'm sure we can deal in the meantime). Considering that the last few days have had 7 reverts of the nonsense data by these IPs, I merely ask what is the number of edits that is required before it becomes disruptive? In an ideal world, of course, the "this is your last warning before being blocked" messages on those IP talk pages would be heeded, but that doesn't seem to be the case - hence my question. In any case, I appreciate your swift handling of the request. TIA. SpikeJones (talk) 21:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- It is not so much a number of edits as a frequency. Because Wikipedia is a wiki, page protection is considered harmful. As such, semi-protection is only used when pages are vandalized to the extent that reverting them is taking time away from other activities. Two or three reverts a day doesn't usually meet that criterion, although exceptions are made for high-visibility pages. talk) 08:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

WALL-E
How are you Spike? In my sandbox, I've been rewriting the WALL-E article to be more comprehensive. Later this week I'll receive the Blu-ray and afterwards forage from some of the citations I used in the current revision. Do you mind advising the structure?
On the one hand, I could write the article like Transformers where information on how each character was designed and animated is put with the cast list, or I could do it like 300 where I list the cast in like a narrow place under Plot. What do you reckon? Alientraveller (talk) 12:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
- Aw shucks, you put a lot of terrific work into Disney articles so don't put yourself down. :) My issue with the article right now is that list of robots. Will you support me to remove it once I incorporate my rewrite and point out of what is making the article too long? Alientraveller (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
- I think you would want it if it provided interesting info on the creation of each character. If there isn't, I will remove it because I'm sure someone else will during FAC. Alientraveller (talk) 18:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello. You listed an article I wrote for deletion, claiming that it reads like an advert. Please could you point out where this is the case? If it is repairable, I'll do it. I create very few articles, but would rather rewrite them in their entirety six or seven times than see them get deleted.

Hey Spike. I saw all this getting changed earlier today, and I left a message on their talk page asking them to be a bit more careful about their edits.

- Thanks for the response. I concur that Ice was adding too much detail, and said such on the note I left on Ice's talk page. The style change was something I initially fought, then had to think about it and see what consensus was, hence me contacting you. So we're good.

Hey Spike. I thought about it after I reverted it, that a citation tag would probably be more appropriate, but at the same time I thought leaving it vague would be a bit better at this point.

Fixed it!
Hi, Spike. I went ahead and replaced the info in the Cars article on Lightning McQueen's encounter with the railroad crossing but with a reference and without the slightly OR-sounding text. Whoever animated those signals was either intimately familiar with them or they really did their homework. The look like real Magnetic Flagman upper-quadrant signals and start up exactly the same way. I helped restore and install a couple of these at the Orange Empire Railway Museum a few years ago and that slow startup is exactly how they operate. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know what I'd done. Thanks and see you 'round. --
It was just a detail I found interesting since I have personal experience with the things. The accuracy is what blew me away. I'll go ahead and remove the reference to the signals in Richmond; let me know what you think. --
Good point. I'm not saying that the filmmakers were inspired by that crossing in Richmond, only that it's the closest thing to the crossing in the movie. The details certainly hint that they may have researched it through that site I cited, but that's speculation. There used to be several double upper-quadrants in Los Angeles along Alameda Street, but they were all removed when the Alameda Corridor went through. Oddly, there's no picture of an upper-quadrant wigwag in the wigwag article, so I thought the reference would kill two birds with one stone. Feel free to remove the reference if you wish. It was just a bit of minutiae that the train geek in me couldn't resist adding, especially since I only recently saw the movie in its entirety. Thanks again! --
The Mirage Volcano
Hi
I would have to disagree that the previous posting of "periodically" is adequate and that the times are not definitive. For one thing, they are definitive. All you have to do is call the general information line for The Mirage and they'll tell you - as I did. Secondly, adding specific times makes Wikipedia a more complete and accurate resource and does not start making it a travel guide. Additionally, many Las Vegas hotel attractions have posted times in their corresponding wiki articles; ie Sirens of TI. --EvilHidden (talk) 05:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Pixar template
Since Carter and 1906 are technically not Pixar productions, should Lasseter, Bird and Stanton have their own templates now? I think we could move the Buzz Lightyear spin-offs to just the Toy Story template, while keeping that short Lasseter made before Pixar was formed in his template, and then the live action films in Bird and Stanton's templates. Alientraveller (talk) 09:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- You removed JCOM from the template, and although it is not a Pixar film there are Pixar staff working on it at the Emeryville lot. It was placed there because Stanton doesn't have his own template. But removing that and the spin-offs would render an entire section to one link, unless you are willing to relent about it not officially being a Pixar short because it was made before it was sold to Jobs and place it under Shorts.

Valid Material?
Hello Spike Jones. I have added some external links to interviews that you have reverted and would like to discuss the validity of their inclusion. There are a number of interviews that The Drew Marshall Show has done and has archived that would be of interest to and benefit the readers researching certain celebrity bio's on Wikipedia. They are a collection of free audio interviews for anyone who wishes to listen. I'm not trying to promote the web site or sell anything, no money or promotion will be made from this. These are just interviews with celebrities containing autobiographical information, specifically religious or spiritual beliefs, that pertain to information in the respective articles, where comments have been made about the religious beliefs of a specific celebrity. I think these interviews would be helpful to those researching through Wikipedia. I use wikipedia all the time and woul dfind the inclusion of such material very helpful and trustworthy (since the information comes from the person themselves). If I am doing a bad thing here I will stop...just wanted to contribute. Thanks Sierranorth (talk) 19:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I did find a referenced review that identifies Russell as Asian American, though it is obvious from the way the character is drawn. The lack of Asian parts is a major Asian American issue, as is on wikipedia the bias towards removing any attempt to establish the notability of Asian American issues. (Asian person murdered, Asian character in movie, etc) I have removed the anonymous speculation, though it supports the notion that Pixar was actually seeking to make the part an Asian child.

There has been recent activity regarding the proper structure of the various Disney feature length film lists.

History of the American Hamburger
This page you propose to delete concentrates on the American hamburger. The existing hamburger page contains worldwide/global ingredients, cooking methods, etc. I feel that a page dedicated to the iconic American Hamburger is necessary and is more like a stub. Did you read my explanantion before deleting this page?Tomticker5 (talk) 14:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Would you agree that wikipedia needs a page dedicated only to the U.S. origins of the hamburger and the restaurant?

Other articles were added to the AfD page a day after it opened at a time where many had already commented. They were shortly after removed again. Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Federer–Hewitt rivalry currently shows 5 other articles with AfD tags linking to the closed AfD. At User talk:Sandstein#Close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Federer–Hewitt rivalry the closer says "These tags should be removed by whoever added them". Please either remove the AfD tags or start a new AfD on another page where all nominated articles are listed from the beginning or before others start commenting.

3rr warning
Since you reverted three times in the
- So far the RfC comments appear to favor omitting the deceased's name from the article, not for BLP reasons, but because it is inappropriate for that particular article. Other comments may yet come in, but as it stands currently, it doesn't appear that BLP applies, which means that it was a content dispute between me and you and a few others, so the 3rr warning above stands. The consensus on the content dispute so far, however, is to omit the name. Unless the tide suddenly turns, for now I concede the point and won't be attempting to reintroduce the name. Cla68 (talk) 00:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- I was going to post an RfC, but was going to do it later in the day, my (Japan) time, which probably meant that it would have been the next morning your time (I assume that you're in the US). I was pleasantly surprised when you beat me to it. I'll leave a comment in the RfC as suggested. I don't take personally most of the stuff that goes on in here, it's just a website. Keep up the good work. Cla68 (talk) 03:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
By the way...
By the way, I notice that one of your areas of interest appears to be Disney animated films. I checked the Featured list and noticed that none of Disney's animated film articles are currently rated at featured quality, in spite of the fact that I'm sure that there are plenty of literature about them available, especially on the older classics like Bambi or Cinderella (both of which I have in my personal DVD collection, by the way). I hope you might consider polishing and then submitting one or more of those articles for featured consideration (FAC). If interested, please let me know and I can help out with copyediting and with advice on how to survive the FAC process, since I've been through it a few times. Cla68 (talk) 07:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, if three of the Star Trek and three of the Star Wars movies can make it to featured, with all of the fancruft that I'm sure they attract, then the Disney movies should be able to overcome that also. A quick Amazon search shows that there are plenty of books out there on Disney's animation history, as well as on Pixar. If you all have an article that you're working on that you'd like to try to get featured, please just drop me a line and I'll try to help out with any final touches that may be helpful.

The Last Song
Hey ... I'm trying to look for something that proves this (right now, only the movie's article says this, and WP isn't a source for itself), but it appears "The Last Song" is a co-production between WD Pictures and Touchstone, so it should be in this list, shouldn't it? --McDoobAU93 (talk) 21:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- UPDATE: I have found sources that say it's a Touchstone release, including a press release, and neither mention Walt Disney Pictures. I've edited the movie article and provided the sources, which should hopefully keep the IP at bay. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Lake Dolores
Hey Spike --- Some of what you say has merit, however it appears that based upon what I have read on your talk page that you have quite a history of "Heavy Handedness" in your approach to your edits. I also notice a marked pattern of mixing personal opinion with Wikipedia Policy. It's interesting the lengths to which people will go when they sense even a tiny bit of power. Would you like me to cite the thousands of papers written on that very subject as well? Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, Spike. You and 'ol "Vegaswikian" appear to be textbook cases on that very issue. The fact that you had to go to Vegaswikian's talk page to ask for "help" is nothing more than a cyber version of a "gang-up" tactic and does nothing more than further support my contention. I would strongly suggest that you (as well as your cohort "Vegaswikian") tread very carefully not only on this particular article -- but also on all of your future edits of other articles. The evidence I have gathered thus far to support my case is very compelling. I will now be following both of you very closely. Bottom Line: I only care about one thing here -- an even-handed sense of fair play.
By the way -- the aquifer reference needs to stay. Without this aquifer, Lake Dolores would have never happened.
LogicallyCreative (talk) 09:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Wanting to be sure I don't misinterpret your comment, I'll summarize: you are calling myself and Vegaswikian bullies for editing an article that you civil response to edits that were made in an attempt to bring the article in line with WP policies. If my perception of what you've written here is incorrect, please let me know. SpikeJones (talk) 04:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Cowboy and Sugar?
Hey. Have you seen anyone else adding an upcoming release called "Cowboy and Sugar"? It's supposedly a partnership between Pixar and ImageMovers Digital, but I can find no information on either Pixar's or ImageMovers' home pages. Could this be another "Jump in the Dot!" vandal job, or is this legit? --McDoobAU93 (talk) 20:41, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Saw it was reverted a few times today. Don't think it's related to dot directly. Still, it's not a new edit either. Besides, you requested that this user be blocked back then as well for the same type of thing. Worth keeping an eye on, for sure. SpikeJones (talk) 21:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

- First, do not re-edit your comments on my page. I'd prefer to read the chain rather than have to go back to re-read what you deleted. Secondly, the Disney item is on the Disney-related page. If the european parks were owned by a major corp, then that's where the segregation goes. Thirdly, please try to conform to established editing on those pages: no names, don't link dates, use bullets, be as brief/factual as possible, only include significant items.

Good question
I've seen this nut job as well. I clicked on the "Geolocate" key at the bottom of one of the IPs and it reverts back to a provider in Dublin, Ireland and it appears to be issued to a Woodford Construction. Bambifan is in Mobile, Alabama...but I'd like to put both on a slow boat to China, if you'll pardon the archaic reference. :) I think a rangeblock is more than warranted and I'll see what I can bring up regarding Woodford Construction. Please keep me in the loop on this one. There is nothing worse than a serial vandal, especially single-minded and likely autistic ones like these. --

Dear Spike I fail to see how the citation provided fails to meet WP:CITE guidelines. I have looked over the articles for WP:CITE and WP:Verifiability.

The editor has made some constructive edits, but then lets loose with things like that which you reverted, and similar posts on the talk pages for Hercules and Enchanted.

Frankly, I'd have gone with a shorter block, since I'd like to think this user just needed a reality check to straighten up and fly right. But at the same time, you had some very solid points in your post back to me. Guess I'm an incurable optimist sometimes ... --McDoobAU93 (talk) 04:49, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
The user is blocked for 2 weeks, but he/she can still edit their talk page. Reasonable I guess, and interesting, considering the edits being made. The user seems to be using their talk page as a sandbox, and is busy playing with the table of Disney Digital 3-D releases. Worth a look, when you get a chance. I get the funny feeling we'll be cleaning up after this one soon after the block is released. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 02:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Spike ... the IP mentioned where he found the info, and I checked it and a couple of others, and the 2009 re-release is legit. However, I'm not sure how to link it without it being considered a spam link. I'll keep looking at other news sites to verify. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 01:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Any ideas how we can add the citation for it, preferably in the main article for the film itself? I would think that movie-ticket purchasing websites should be considered reliable, because if they're wrong there are upset customers. The IP said that Box Office Mojo has the date, too, and I found it there as well. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 03:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

If she came back for a third season then I would think she might just be worthy of her own article. But you're probably right. She just might not meet the standards of having her own article on wiki.

- I have moved all the pertinent information regarding Heather West to the Hells kitchen season 2 article. I have included the link to the spotoili article which states that she is currently working at the Monterey restaurant in Long Beach, New York. I realize the spotonli article is not exactly the New York Times but it seems to be legitimate enough and should satisfy the citation needed requirement requirement. The restaurant website itself makes consistent reference to Heather in its special events section. At this point I basically don't have any objection to a redirect but before you do so please let me know if you have any problems with the contributions I have made to the season two article and I will try to clean it up before-hand.Tlatseg (talk) 05:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Merge discussion for ImageMovers Digital
Commentary!
I'm confused as to why you deleted my completely informative contribution. Wolfdog (talk) 03:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Please do not delete my work and then ignore me, You should have discussed with me your problems with what I wrote rather than delete the edits. I asked you to talk to me to explain your issues and you continue not to do so. I'm replacing some of what I wrote. Also, to justify myself, you will notice on most musical pages (see, for example, "In the Heights" or Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera"), there are lists of all the musical numbers, even when there are mentioned in the body text; I am only standardizing this article to be like most musical-related articles. As you now have twice been illuminated, I am willing to talk things out. It is completely inappropriate at this point for you to continue deleting valid work without at the very least writing on the discussion page first. Wolfdog (talk) 23:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
