simcity

Sorry, in my revert I used the wrong words. I made a full rationale in Talk:SimCity_(2013_video_game)#.22Upon_release.2C_SimCity_was_met_with_mostly_positive_reviews.22, please take a look. --Enric Naval (talk) 08:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. GabeIglesia (talk) 11:59, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Also, the image you were complaining about was ultimately replaced by a new one that has a much better angle and no glass edges streaking through it. Just thought you'd like to know that too. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:14, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

As long as Masem stops edit warring the obstructed image in then it should be fine! PantherLeapord (talk) 22:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ViperSnake151  Talk  05:59, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

POlicies and guidelines

Thank you for contributing to maintenance areas. You are new here, and you may wish to familiarise yourself with policies, gudelines, and precedents before commenting on article deletion debates. Only !votes that are based on current policy and practice will be taken into consideration by the closing admin. If you have any questions related to school articles, please refer to WP:WPSCH/AG or don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

PS4 Revert

Ittihadawi (talk) 11:09, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Please explain why edit has been reverted?

Due to the fact that during the release of the console the price wasn't mentioned in either Australian or Canadian Dollars, why should it be mentioned here? What makes Australian/Canadian Dollars more important than other currencies in the world such as the Japanese yen or UAE Dirham??

--

Did you miss the part about the australian dollar trading ABOVE parity of the US dollar for over SIX MONTHS and the fact that if no country is specified that the dollars could very well be representative of the currency that Zimbabwe uses which is also called the dollar! PantherLeapord (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

--11:22, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Ittihadawi (talk) Still no reason has been adressed to why an Australian Dollar is more noteworthy than other currencies which are much more used throughout the world!

Alright then. It is the currency used for the largest island country in the world, It traded at above $1US for several months recently, it is the 5th most traded currency in the world, it is popular with investors due to high interest rates and stability... and that's about all of the reasons that mainly make a currency noteworty!

move review

Hi. I closed your move review, as discussion is ongoing on a rename. You have to wait till that rename is done before opening a second move review. I suggest you participate in the rename discussion instead. Best, --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 12:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Why are you doing this? You know as well as I do that this silly rename thing is just a stalling tactic used in a last-ditch effort by supporters of the wrong title to prevent the article from being moved to it's policy and reliable source supported title! PantherLeapord (talk) 12:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

you are free to support any name, so if you like go and !vote for a rename back to Deadmau5. It's not a stalling tactic, it's just following standard Misplaced Pages processes, which all editors are expected to do. THe current move discussion was started by a supporter of Deadmau5 by the way. Once the discussion closes, if you disagree with the close, then you can open a move review. Doing one now makes no sense - move review is to review the results of a move, and the move is under discussion currently.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 12:42, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Technically the move review was for the move to deadmaus... the current request is for a move to Joel Zimmerman and not back to Deadmau5. As I disagreed with the closure of the move request to the incorrect title it is currently at I opened a move review of it. PantherLeapord (talk) 12:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

And for some weird reason I got an edit conflict with MYSELF for the above! PantherLeapord (talk) 12:47, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

perhaps you weren't aware that a move review already happened for the first move. You can't open two move reviews for the same move - it just doesn't work that way. Any move discussion can end at any result, so if you want deadmau5 make good arguments there and perhaps the closing admin will see a consensus to move back. That's your best course for now.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 12:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

You were involved ...

You were involved in the discussion immediately preceeding this !v: Talk:Xbox_One#Consensus_needed, where the creator determined there was "mixed consensus" in the discussion. Please make your opinion heard in the !vote. -Kai445 (talk) 17:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice! I have expressed my opinion on this. PantherLeapord (talk) 23:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Topic Banned

I have closed a topic ban discussion concerning you. The topic ban consists of the following:

User:PantherLeapord is topic banned from uploading images, commenting on image files or their usage, and participating in image-related discussions or discussions of policy related to images, across the English Misplaced Pages. This topic ban is for a period of 6 months. After 3 months, User:PantherLeapord may appeal for a loosening of these restrictions on WP:ANI. Violations of these restrictions will be met by escalating blocks.

At least someone finally got around to it! PantherLeapord (talk) 07:06, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The Spamhaus Project

Hi. I am confused by this edit of yours at The Spamhaus Project. It's not obvious to me why the discussion of "Stophaus" in the article should not contain both the Spamhaus ROKSO source (which you removed) and the Stophaus source (which you added/restored). If you believe there is a good reason not to include both, I would recommend a discussion of the issue on the article's talk page. You should also keep in mind that Misplaced Pages's edit warring policy applies even to "justifiable" edits; if you keep up your back-and-forth sparring with FirenzeNove, you may both risk being blocked for edit warring regardless of which (if either) of you is in the right. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:25, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The Spamhaus ROKSO source is a Self-published source located on spamhaus.org. AFAIK such sources are considered to be ALWAYS unreliable and are NOT to be used! PantherLeapord (talk) 06:52, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Further WP:SPS clearly states "Never use self-published sources as third-party sources about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer." and as this Self-published source is about Andrew Stephens who is a living person then that passage applies here as well! PantherLeapord (talk) 06:55, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Under certain narrowly defined circumstances, a self-published source may be usable as a source of information about the source itself. See WP:ABOUTSELF, the section of the Verifiability policy just after WP:SPS. The same concerns about citing the Spamhaus ROKSO site would presumably also apply to material on Stophaus's site — we may be able to use Stophaus's site to substantiate the fact that Stophaus is making certain claims (but not as proof that these claims are accurate). In any case, claims about either Spamhaus or Stophaus are best substantiated using material from unrelated third parties. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 16:17, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

After having read the ROKSO page in question, I will revise what I just said. The particular page in question is, IMO, not usable per WP:BLP, because of its claims regarding a specific alleged spammer. This page might possibly be usable in conjunction with other, independent sources substantiating Spamhaus's allegations against this individual. Since all ROKSO material, pretty much by definition, contains allegations against specific individuals (most of whom are probably still living), I would assume similar concerns would apply to any ROKSO page. I have not made myself sufficiently familiar with Stophaus's web site to say whether similar BLP concerns would apply there or not. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 17:26, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
