Hello.
Are you from Misplaced Pages or a Filipino fan? I am a fan of music and I adhere to Wiki's mission to provide accurate information. You have been deleting my contributions to The Pin-Ups. they are a legit band with a legit background. You are either nitpicking or a Filipino with a bad case of crab mentality. Worse, if you're not Filipino then you are dangerously close to being labelled a racist. Why can't a Filipino band be on Misplaced Pages? FYI, there are other Filipino bands on this site--why aren't you picking on them too? I just need to understand.
Putting up information regarding The Pin-Ups is not quantified as being biased nor is it being a "fanatic". Please do your research regarding this band's legitimacy before you censor others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dostro (talk • contribs) 15:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

To do
Policy Regarding Unsourced Material
"If a claim is doubtful but not harmful, use the tag, which will add "citation needed," but remember to go back and remove the claim if no source is produced within a reasonable time." Please add the fact tag in the future, instead of simply undoing the changes that have been made.
You can choose to do otherwise, but the policy does suggest that you add fact tags for information that is not harmful. You're free to believe what you want, but it's hard for me to believe that being listed as an associated act is harmful to the article when the article already references that association.

Hi, remember that "Notification of the article's author(s) is strongly recommended. " - I see you didn't notify the creator of Zafar Nozim. PamD (talk) 14:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think you would have found sources if you'd looked harder (e.g. searching using his name in Tajik), but the BLP PROD is moot now as he died a couple of days after you prodded it. Is BLP PROD a form of voodoo? Fences&Windows 17:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Fried chicken flu
Whatever about the sources, my problem with what you did with that page is that you also erased the whole page NOT JUST THE SOURCES THAT YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT. So if you are going to use the rollback feature USE IT IN THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE.Inka 888 (talk) 23:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC) When there is no third party sourced content, we do not have a stand alone article about the topic.

You said "Content presented in articles, particularly content about living people MUST be presented in WP:NPOV format NOT tabloid gossip interpretations.. Active Banana (talk) 15:26, 4 August 2010 (UTC)"''. Well then if that's the case why not reformat the sourced content instead of outright deleting it and getting into an edit war? Conrad940 (talk) 15:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
You said Any content that beings with "apparently" is completely inappropriate WP:OR. Active Banana (talk) 15:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC) If you're only opposed to the word apparently, then taking it out would remove your objection to the content, correct? Conrad940 (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- You said The fact that YOU used the word "apparently" signals to me that the sources do not explictly support the claims. Pre judging my intent because I used of certain words? Did you read the source? If you did, how would you form your content that would convey the same message as the content I contributed? Conrad940 (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
You said Because the source you used is not in a language that I read and so I cannot place appropriate content into the article. But I CAN tell that what you inserted is NOT appropriate. Active Banana (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC) Well then based on the source cited, how would you form the content that WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO YOU? Conrad940 (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- You said Based on the article, yes I am prejudging that anything that vaguely appears POV push, is very likely a POV push and needs to be stopped immediately. Active Banana (talk) 15:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC). Good. So then, something short of plagiarizing a source is not POV, correct? Conrad940 (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Request
Could you comment on whether i've quoted you correctly, and captured the context of your comment, at the bottom of this thread? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
just a note
I think you showed a lot of class here. I agree that it was humane under the circumstances to let the "moron" remark pass. It also raises the question of what we're willing to do as a "community" when other editors lapse into unhelpful language for emotional or psychological reasons we aren't in a position to assess. It's a problem of WP:IRL — the product is real, the editors are real, but the "community" is virtual and lacks many of the flesh-and-blood cues we need in order to know how to treat each other. Therefore, I appreciated your quick willingness to respect another editor's humanity. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Show just cause
Please show me the areas of the article that require additional sources. And I'm not talking about random points. I need to see points that could potentially undermine the article. And could "citation needed" templates be added to the individual sentence instead. The article has about 5 paragraphs. How many more sources does it need? It's so easy to slap unnecessary and unattractive templates on the pages, instead of taking 5 minutes out of your time and updating the page yourself. Orane (talk) 22:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Initial response: WP:V applies to ALL content not just what "could potentially undermine the article".
- And if you want to dictate to me how I spend my Misplaced Pages time, then you can hire me, until that time, you're not the boss of me. "Misplaced Pages is a volunteer community, and does not require its users to give any more time and effort than they wish. Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other users."Active Banana (talk) 23:36, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- First off, I'd never want to hire you. Secondly, follow your own advice and improve articles (tagging them is not improving them). And thirdly, your work here has nothing to do with me, except when you blindly revert my edits, and can't even back it up with a proper explanation. Have a nice day. Orane (talk) 04:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Tagging certainly is a step towards improving the project. It lets those who have access to sources know where they can go to make improvements and more importantly it makes readers aware that 1) they should be aware that the content in an article is only as good as the sources and 2) that we are aware of the limitations of the tagged articles and are not trying to foist off second rate goods as prime content. Active Banana (talk) 04:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, and this may sound cynical, no one thinks of Misplaced Pages articles as "prime content". But I digress. WP:Verifiability states "in practice not everything need actually be attributed. This policy requires that anything challenged or likely to be challenged." I've gone through the article a number of times and nothing is likely to be challenged, and nothing could potentially undermine the article or violate BLP. Yes, tags are important, but definitely not when they are overused and unnecessary, like it was, in this particular article. And it's like I have to fight to keep unnecessary tags out. One user thinks that a point needs sourcing, and suddenly, the entire article is tagged. The articles look so extremely shabby and tasteless. Orane (talk) 04:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- "To be honest, and this may sound cynical, no one thinks of Misplaced Pages articles as "prime content"." I think you are very much wrong, otherwise Misplaced Pages would not be one of the first 5 hits for any topic that you search for. Active Banana (talk) 04:46, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Orane (talk) 04:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- No matter how annoying it may be, when someone puts a tag on a particular sentence or section, then the content per definition has been challenged. Now you may argue that some of that content is evident in references used elsewhere in the article, and thus remove the tag as been superfluous... But if the tagger persists, then you have to put a reference to the text - and all that would take, in such a case, is to make a named reference and reuse a reference already in the article. I do agree that articles can end up being overtagged or over-referenced - but this is the way that WP works. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 16:03, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I think I'm very much right for the simple fact that high schools and universities all warn against using Misplaced Pages for a myriad of reasons, ranging from the fact that articles aren't written by professionals, to the fact that they are unstable and may be changed by anyone at anytime. Misplaced Pages is popular because it's popular (circular, but true), not because it's "good". Orane (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Of course they warn against using WP. I'd warn against it as well - but not because WP is bad, or wrong.... WP should always be seen as a beginning step in any sort of fact-gathering/research, which is also the reason why references are so damned important. You should always be critical of sources. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
RE: Adalberto Román
Hi Active Banana (one of the best names I've come across in Misplaced Pages, by the way). Olé is a horrible source, its a tabloid sports newspaper with a reputation of incompetence when it comes to fact checking and accuracy. But it is useful for verifying basic information (Adalberto Román moved from Libertad to River Plate). In the same reference it says that the transfer was made for a 3 million US dollars fee, while the other reference provided (Diario ABC Color) says it was closed for 3,6 million. Those cases are when Olé can't be trusted and a different source is required.
Regarding notability, I understand that the subject passess the Athlete guidelines, having played more than 80 games on a fully professional league. Therefore, I'll remove the tag if you concur (is that a word?) with my opinion. Regards. Fache (talk) 04:54, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Cassandra Clare
Hello, there is currently a content dispute at this article and I'd like to see if an agreement can be reached. Since you are a recent contributor to the article, I'd like to ask if you wish to give your opinion on the matter.

If you're interested, please comment at this thread, thank you. -- Atama頭 06:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Inception_(film) & reliable sources
Sorry about that, it looked like page blanking to me originally but I see it clearly wasn't. I revently started helping with vandalism, I'll take more care in the future. I've reverted my edit. BioStu (talk) 15:49, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Dock jumping - thanks
Thanks for your input at Dock jumping. I'm slowly trying to improve what was originally a very poor article. You were 100% correct to tag the article and remove the external links. I'm going to work to find third party sources which are not directly from one of the organisations that run dock jumping competitions. Any further contributions would be very welcome. --Simple Bob (talk) 18:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I have added a few references which are an improvement on the previous ones which were nearly all from the jumping organisations such as Dock Dogs, Ultimate Air Dogs, etc. I do consider the United Kennel Club to be a reliable source though, what do you think about that particular one? Otherwise most of the references that I have added are from news sources - using only recognised organisations and staying away from blogs etc. I'm going to leave your tag on the article though, I'll leave it to you or someone else to determine whether or not it is appropriately referenced. --Simple Bob (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
b.t.w. if you are US-based you might want to watch the Letterman show tonight as it has a big feature on dock jumping. --Simple Bob (talk) 21:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Christian Marrero
I don't know if you already knew this; if you did, please ignore me. However, when you BLPPROD an article and someone else removes it without providing at least one source, as happened here, you can reinsert the tag, if you wish. Cheers. Salvio 23:00, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I see you are developing quite a catalog of controversial edits. I removed your speedy delete tag from this page which was already tagged for PROD. I also reverted your removal of the external links which appear to be good sources to me. And a long discography is a pretty clear claim of notability. Rmhermen (talk) 19:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Mohammed Rafi
Dear Mr. Banana, You deleted the section I had edited under Mohammed Rafi called Legacy citing reason as Source. I had provided links to all those singers who were inspired by him. If you check the specific pages of those singers, it is mentioned in them that they were inspired by Mohammed Rafi. My Edit was (Many successfull Indian playback singers were inspired by Mohammed Rafi and adopted his style of singing. While Mahendra Kapoor was his contemporary and yet swore allegiance to his voice, Anwar, Shabbir Kumar, Mohammed Aziz and Sonu Nigam continued the legacy after his death.) Kindly check the links and you will find the Source in the relevent pages of the other singers that I have mentioned. Thanks Much!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.184.48.2 (talk) 00:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Siobhan Magnus
May I ask what about the previous edit was irrelevant? You removed the names of her parents as well as a paragraph on her high school drama club experience. Even Lady Gaga's article has information on high school musical performances and roles. Please clarify this, as there are quite some people wondering why you reverted the edit.
Bulletinspace (talk) 17:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- So you're saying it's relevant Lady Gaga was in her high school's drama club and it's not relevant that Siobhan Magnus was. Okay, the meaning of the name is irrelevant, granted. And what better sources for her parents' and siblings' names do you suggest, if not a local newspaper (Cape Cod Times) that has interviewed both her parents? Don't get me wrong, I just want to know what we need to do in order to expand this article and make it better, when there are barely any other sources than local/regional newspapers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bulletinspace (talk • contribs) 18:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Personally, I think a musician's background (including vocal and instrumental training) is important, but maybe that's just me. What about her parents' and siblings' names? Also irrelevant? Bulletinspace (talk) 18:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
-- And the Cape Cod Times isn't reliable enough? I would think they know the names of the people they interviewed. Might seem rude if they'd been calling them the wrong names all along. Bulletinspace (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
User:Furey x/National Airsoft Organisations
Hi Active Banana, just letting you know that proposed deletions are only valid for articles and disambiguation pages, user pages and sub pages aren't eligible. They can be deleted through speedy deletion if they meet one of the criteria listed there, otherwise they should be brought to Miscellany for Deletion. Thanks! -- Atama頭 19:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ahh, I had PROD before the creator moved it back to user space. Active Banana (talk) 19:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, that makes sense. Never mind then. The creator should have removed the tag themselves in that case. -- Atama頭 17:23, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

It's not my personal point of view; it's the POV of the jury that convicted him and sentenced him to death.24.78.6.42 (talk) 15:10, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
RE:Kwon Yuri
I agree, the "Girls' Generation" section should contain something but the sentence "Kwon was a member of the group Girl's Generation." is totally redundant, since this is already said in the second sentence of the article. And it's partly wrong since Yuri still is Girls' Generation member... Somebody should add something more detailed... --Dr. Crisp (talk) 18:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Re: Andrew Breitbart
Greetings Active Banana. It appears that you have undone an addition I submitted to the "Controversies" section of the Andrew Breitbart page. Could you please provide your reasoning? The data I entered is all sourced and referenced from other Wiki pages, is verifiably accurate, and in no way is biased or vandalous. I think the information I provided is salient and useful, and if there is some administrative issue with my submission I would like to address it so the content is available. Please advise. thanks. Trappem (talk) 17:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC)trappem "Misplaced Pages pages are not reliable sources". An interesting notion. It is common for one Wiki page to link to others as I have done. I was in the process of adding external sources when I found my text had vanished. Would the submission be acceptable with additional external references?

Talk:Reddy
I observed that this chaotic article has lot of fights related to whether Reddy is a social group or a honorary title.Reddy denotes a social grouping of many castes and is also used by communities like Kammas,Yadavas,Agnikula Kshatriyas and Vokkaligas as a title to denote a Village Headman.I presently have requested a move to Reddy(Social Group) to avoid further fights.Give your view on the talk page.-Raghavan(Talk) 12:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

"Misplaced Pages is not a fanpage. We refer to people by their family name, not their first name or vanity name. Your edit to Kwon Yuri has been reverted."

Hello, the situation at this article has gone on long enough (over 2 years). I'm working on a draft RfC and wonder whether you would be willing to contribute, either as an involved party who tried to help the user, or as an outside view, since your involvement appears to be fairly minimal. Take a look and let me know. I think this could all be gotten under control if the user is restricted to making suggestions on the article talk page, though given the attitude of the user it may well have to end in a ban. Of course, that's a different venue... Yworo (talk) 15:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Advizor Solutions
you deleted segments of the Advizor Solutions article saying that it was "promotional crap". It was simply listing information about products the company has to offer in an unbiased way. The fact that the company offers these products is fact-based.--Benj2199 (talk) 15:19, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

- Can you please respond to my question about Tableau Software? I'm simply trying to create a truthful, accurate and unbiased Misplaced Pages entry while abiding by all rules and guidelines. However, it becomes confusing when I try to imitate the format from another Misplaced Pages entry and you're telling me it not allowed. Why is this format of listing a company's products allowed in some cases but not in others? --Benj2199 (talk) 15:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

- Personally, I disagree. A heading of "possible sock puppet", with an edit summary of "possible sock", while the Fastily Sock account is clearly tagged that it is an alternate account, with links to the appropriate policies as to why it's permitted...hard to push AGF that far when there's a history of both a) not reading and b) huge misunderstanding of a wide range of policies.

Speedy deletion tag on Ngayong Nandito Ka declined
Hi Active Banana, I've declined your A7 tag for Ngayong Nandito Ka. WP:CSD#A7 doesn't apply to films. I cite this part of the criterion: "This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works." This is a creative work. It does, however, look like a good candidate for AfD. Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 03:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Please correct
Hello, while you edited today Eido Shimnao page you reverted my edits in Bibliography. Why? Tao did the same. This had nothing to do section allegations. Please reinstate my edits to Bibliography ASAP. Also I do not know why you reinserted the section allegations in present form. The language of it is obviously inappropriate to BLP and in sources provided by Tao version there is nothing to support the wording of it. Previous version done by Slp1 was agreed by consensus during long discussion. Please, read these discussions carefully? Obviously two added sources you questioned are not valid. Thank you.

I don't really see it as a BLP vio. It seems like it has a bit of undue weight, and a little negatively phrased, but everything there (I think) is included in the articles. Why do you see it as a BLP vio? NativeForeigner /Contribs 03:53, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- I hadnt fully read the second source. The first source was phrasing everything as vague allegations while the proposed phrasing in the article was stating connections as facts. After fully reading the second source I realized that they were making more concrete statements and BLP was not appropriate validation for immediate withdrawal of the statements from our article.

Huh. Thanks. That's odd. Well, I think we generally give fairly wide leeway for people and entities to describe themselves how they describe themselves; if someone has a WP:RS that questions that belief then we can summarize the dispute, but absent good sourcing for calling that into question I don't see any reason to throw that kind of water on someone's own opinions about what they believe. Do you? Does such sourcing exist? — e. ripley\ 20:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Dealing with uncited sources
Active Banana, even though I support your recent removal of material in Information security because of the material's poor quality, I figured that you indiscriminately remove information you find uncited. I highly discourage such actions when they concern information that is neither incorrect nor potentially libelous or otherwise discreditive as they are ultimately detrimental to building up a knowledge base. I support removal of material tagged with {dubious} and all uncited information in BLPs, but text that is not even potentially harmful should only be deleted when understood to be wrong or when obviously doubtful.

You know Active Banana i just wanna say something, i know that also a administrator of Misplaced Pages, but it's not right that you're editing article too much, okay let say in word that you're cleaning her article and posting notes above that figuring the article was incomplete, some of the article inside doesn't had any source, etc.. but it's not right to delete some facts inside of it and editing it in a ugly way, like the article for theater, television you'd delete the facts inside of it and remove the formality tucked on it.you're taking it personally and make it dirty. its not right and ill gonna bring it to the higher administrator if you're still making regine velasquez article in ugly way.thank you
- oh really?? ok let say that you're only doing this for an instance, and how can you explain about the page of Regine Velasquez in the "theater and television" they had the descriptions and little facts there that you'd remove, and the one that you didn't remove is the darna with the description of "her first villain role in television" why you didn't remove that? although the rest of the descriptions you'd deleted already? explain before you complain. thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.207.60.150 (talk) 13:10, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Siti Nurhaliza
Hi, I noticed that you have tagged Siti Nurhaliza article with "Fan's point of view" tag. Please help me in pointing which part of the article is problematic, cause I'm using Mariah Carey and Beyonce's article as references on how to rewrite the article where both articles are either Featured Article or Good Article. I'm on my way of removing peacock words and providing reliable links for the article.Syfuel (talk) 08:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. For the first point, it can't be helped, she has been always addressed as "Siti", because it is a Malay name, refer this Malay Names, for that, I've added a description on top of the article: This is a Malay name; the name "Tarudin" is a patronymic, not a family name, and the person should be referred to by the given name, "Siti Nurhaliza". For the second one, I think I better remove that part, because it is kinda hard to find sources way back in the 90's to support that. For the third one, I'll try my best, but so far, none of the sources came from her recording company except from her official website and newspapers. And I have been trying to clean all the links by added reliable sources. Thanks for the heads-up. :) Syfuel (talk) 09:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- As all of the things that you have found out as problematic has been discussed and solved, I have removed the tag.

Reply
Hey friend. First, you are one of the users I respect, so you cannot blame me of not assuming good faith on you. But a box office success is a common term which is definitely acceptable and it is cited in newspapers, books, Misplaced Pages's own FAs and other reputed sources. If a film is described as a box office success or hit (which is, BTW, also acceptable if properly sourced) it simply means that it recovered its costs and even more, thereby getting a popular reception by the wide audience. The sources we cite perfectly help to explain what the status is because there are verdicts mentioned in them. By saying "the film grossed..." you do nothing because nobody really knows what Rs. 40 crore means, if it's good or bad. However, when such numbers or positions are mentioned additionally it could be well better, because it states a fact which is verified by a number (for example, "The film did well at the BO, grossing XXX million"). All that is of course while considering proper sourcing, and a good quality of prose. I'm ready to discuss it more, but I disagree with the clarification you've requested. It couldn't be clearer than this. Shahid • 17:28, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
