Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Chris McCandless have been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 09:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Size changes

Please avoid making edits like these [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Images should not have arbitrary fixed sizes. Wikipedia allows individual users to set their preferred thumbnail sizes; fixing them within an article overwrites these settings. The sizes you entered were also way larger than the Wikimedia default and gave the articles a crammed appearance. Regards, IceWelder [] 08:50, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: - Are you sure they're larger? Some of the defaults were over 1000px. And I lowered them to a reasonable 300px. I think you should recheck. ChallengeCick (talk) 08:50, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Check your settings under Preferences->Appearance->Files->Thumbnail size or any browser extensions you might have. The Wikimedia default is 220px and renders as such for everyone not logged in or using default settings. IceWelder [] 09:51, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It works. Thanks. ChallengeCick (talk) 09:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Bryan Danielson September 2021 (crop).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bryan Danielson September 2021 (crop).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:44, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Some Dude From North Carolina. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. STOP making new files when updating a poster. You can simply upload the newer version under the same file by clicking "Upload a new version of this file". Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:04, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:09, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mario Kart 8, you may be blocked from editing. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Most or all the edits I’ve seen from you are junk. You’re spamming non-free images, WP:OR, junk edits, breaking rules, and goading other users. Stop editing until you read policy and have the slightest idea what an encyclopedia and a public project are. This one, particularly. Users can be blocked for this.Smuckola(talk) 12:28, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing

Hello there. I know it can take some time to learn the ins and outs of Wikipedia...but it really is alarming how many warnings you have related to images on your talk page. Continuing this trajectory will likely end up with your account getting blocked from editing, so I recommend slowing down and doing some more learning on things.

There's WP:IUP for image help. You seem to make a lot of edits related to video games and movies too, so it may be good to familiarize yourself with things like MOS:VG and MOS:FILM too. But please do something to change. People like myself are getting tired of telling you the basics, like "Only one box art per article" that I see yet another editor has warned you about. Sergecross73 msg me 17:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, just making sure you saw this, because the edits you just made are exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about here. You uploaded new versions of images for Super Mario articles that already had perfectly acceptable images, and then changed them to a non-standard size. Unnecessary and actually making it worse. Final warning on this. Sergecross73 msg me 20:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sergecross73 and Primefac: Did you see the stack of final warnings about edit warring? I missed those in the ocean of violations. Can you please complete the full indef? He thinks this is a smack talking copyright-proof fan site. Almost all edit history has been reverted and the rest is junk about junk subjects. WP:NOTHERESmuckola(talk) 21:48, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the image they uploaded for SM3DW (Super Mario 3D World) and that is completely unacceptable. You should not be uploading higher quality version of non-free images. They are a lower quality for a reason. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:05, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've now reverted their upload of the SM3DW + Bowser's Fury box art and requested rev del of the older versions of both files. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:13, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sergecross73 and Primefac: Contrary to warnings, this user still will not stop the WP:OR WP:RS, and citing himself in edit summaries. Now he's pretending to rename an album.[7][8] The user will not respond to anything but force. WP:ICANTHEARYOU WP:NOTHERE. You guys never had any reason not to do a full block. — Smuckola(talk) 21:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree he needs to cite his sources...but I just looked it up on Apple Music and it appears he's not wrong. He needs to start using sources immediately...but it seems harsh to indef him over this when sourcing wasn't really what I gave him his final warning for. I won't oppose Primefac if they think otherwise though. But to me, feels like final warning time for yet another thing. ChallengeCick, you need to learn WP:V and WP:REFB if you have any hope to keep editing on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 21:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little bit busy today, but I'll definitely check it out. I understand if you want to stop me from uploading files, but not forever. Plus, this is the first time it's happened to me, so at least bite in to give me another chance. You said it yourself that it seems a bit harsh for an indef block. Plus, I always cite my sources. Sometimes they may not be legitimate, but they're still sources where there could be proof. Anyways, just consider it. ChallengeCick (talk) 03:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Citing your sources doesn't meant writing "I saw it on Spotify" in an edit summary. Please read WP:REFB for what it means. It's no rush if you're busy, but it is very important that you read and understand it before adding any further content to Wikipedia. If you keep going around doing it wrong while ignoring these comments, then you're going to find yourself in the same place you currently find yourself with file uploads.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain namespaces (File) for continuing to upload invalid and non-free images larger than allowed.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Primefac (talk) 21:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reasonings for unblocking

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

ChallengeCick (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I was unaware of how to upload non-free files to wikipedia. I didn't know the correct way used for image compression. I didn't know any of that stuff. But I'm doing my research on how to get it right. As for editing, I may have editing disruptively in. some articles. Mario Kart 8 is a good example of this. I promise to change all of this if unblocked. If there is another reasoning for my blocking. Please let me know on my talk page

Decline reason:

You've failed to convince me that you understand exactly why you were blocked from uploading files. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:43, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You completely ignored my last chance warnings above, and continued to do the same things that got you the warnings in the first place. You're honestly lucky to only be blocked from images. I was one step away from blocking you from all editing. Sergecross73 msg me 20:49, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. IT shows that you didn't read your talk page until you were partially blocked since WP:IUP details on what you do with non-free images, and uploading higher quality versions is the exact opposite of what you should do (Unless that's the first version of the file). For example, with File:Brilliant Diamond Pokémon Battle.jpg which I uploaded, it started out with a high quality version (the base quality of the Nintendo Switch), and a bot tagged it to be reduced in size, which that happened and the previous revision was tagged for rev del. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Although interestingly I just noticed that while the image size/resolution was reduced, somehow the file size was increased which I don't understand how that works. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:05, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sergecross73 and Ohnoitsjamie: He. Just. Won't. Stop. And he can't stop, and he don't stop, and ya can't stop da block. — Smuckola(talk) 20:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hold. On. There. Fella. I get blocking me again for that but I was just too nervous about the Sonic 2 poster looking good on the inbox which I still don't understand why. No joke I thought about it yesterday and I knew this was gonna happen. But now, we have our final poster, and this parade is officially over. I will keep that poster in my downloads folder for as long as I have this computer. You can unblock me from image uploading, and we'll all be at peace. I dunno about you but to me, that sounds like peace calling from miles away. ChallengeCick (talk) 05:21, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your reason to unblock amounts to "I was going to keep messing with this copyrighted image until it was exactly what I wanted." How do we know you won't do this again with another game, movie, or whatnot where the box art isn't up to your standards? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 19:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
p.s. "i knew better, knew it would be undone in all futility, but I refused to not do it, and again refused to undo it later, to prevent being inevitably blocked" — Smuckola(talk) 21:04, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's an easy answer my friend. I don't know how you guys actually reduce the size of a non-free image. Instead of having a bot do it for me, for once I'd like to know how do I do it myself. Maybe then I wouldn't just say "oh well I don't know how they actually reduce the size of their files, so might as well just upload this high quality version instead."

April 2022

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to The Beatles, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Your recent bold edit has been reverted. Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, after a bold edit is reverted, the status quo should remain while a discussion is started instead of edit-warring, and the dispute should be resolved before reinstating the edit, after a needed consensus is formed to keep it or an alternate version.

Freakin

Please stop italicising the "Freakin" bit of Seth's name. Not only is it not in our MOS but WWE don't even officially do it. What appears in the lower card is an aesthetic flair which we don't include for the same reasons we don't change every instance of reDRagon to red the way AEW do in their card. — Czello 08:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then. But besides WWE's website, they always do the italicising for the "freakin" part like whenever they have a graphic of Seth's name on Raw. So that's why I always did it that way. However, that doesn't change there fact that I want them to stop using and just call him Seth Rollins again. ChallengeCick (talk) 08:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Beatles (album)

Both "self-titled" and "eponymous" are redundant, which is bad writing style. Anyone who can read can see that it is self-titled. Two editors have now reverted you. Per WP:BRD, please do not revert again without consensus. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 23:01, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it's a bad editing style, then why not remove from all the self-titled albums out there, otherwise even though the white album is it's nickname, it's original name is The Beatles. Which is the same name as the band. Coincidence? ChallengeCick (talk) 15:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Music studios and artists can name their albums any way they wish. They don't have to follow anyone's guidelines about good or bad writing style. They can name an album "Da Beedles" if they wish. That's none of Wikipedia's business, nor ours as editors, and Wikipedia has no control over what studios or artists do. We don't tell them what to do; we just report what they do. Wikipedia's stylistic guidelines are independent of studios and artists. With any encyclopedia that has professional editorial oversight, such as Britannica, your edit never would have gotten through in the first place because it's such poor writing. None of this is a general criticism of your contributions to Wikipedia. But none of us is perfect, and a general rule on Wikipedia is that if we don't want our edits challenged and corrected, we shouldn't edit. The bottom line here: Don't use "self-titled" or "eponymous" for any album in which both artist and album are named in the sentence, unless you get consensus on the article's talk page. There are some situation in which "eponymous" or "self-titled" is appropriate. For example, in an article about a band rather than a specific album a sentence later in the article might be: "Less than a year before their breakup, the group released an eponymous album, their only double album." In that sentence the album itself is not named but denoted by the word "eponymous". That's acceptable. Again, read WP:BRD. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 16:44, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by disrupt Wikipedia? Is a false edit on a wiki page on one of the greatest albums of all time really that bad? ChallengeCick (talk) 16:49, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding this edit, what makes you think that anything like "But the album was supposed to be listened, as an album. And it is." and "Woahness" is appropriate for an encyclopedia? As ValarianB said in his revert summary, Wikipedia isn't your personal blog. Assuming you're not a troll and given all your edits to this article were reverted, it's best to stay away from that article. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:30, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is clear that User:ChallengeCick fails WP:CIR and is WP:NOTHERE with edits like these – [9], [10] – despite the repeated warnings. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

In your time here, virtually every edit you've made is undone. I know it takes time to learn the website, but a lot if your edits are simply bad judgment calls. There's absolutely no reason to think that adding personal commentary like "Whoaness" was appropriate to add to an article. And your refusal to stop making so many bad image contributions has gotten you blocked from the entire area of editing.

Are you going to take this seriously or not? Because I'm about one step away from blocking your account from all editing. You need to get a clue and get it together. Either decide to take this seriously or stop editing. Sergecross73 msg me 17:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow do I have a lot to go over what you said. All right let's do this.
"virtually every edit you've made is undone." are you trying to say that every edit has been edited? if that's the case well that can go for everybody including you. Pages change. They always get edited. Every wikipedia page has been edited. In terms of the Woahness comment, I won't argue with you there. That was totally wrong of me.
"And your refusal to stop making so many bad image contributions has gotten you blocked from the entire area of editing." I sent you and Primefac tons of messages about how that situation is fixed and you still don't believe me.
"Are you going to take this seriously or not? Because I'm about one step away from blocking your account from all editing. You need to get a clue and get it together. Either decide to take this seriously or stop editing." I'm actually taking this seriously if you didn't notice. And why are you gonna block me from editing completely? Is it because I'm not editing everyday, or I'm not making massive changes often, or I'm making new articles rarely? What are you trying to say to me here?
In conclusion, you basically are one step away from blocking me due to rare wrong edits and not "taking it seriously". You need to give me some proper clarification because after everything I went though, I'm not sure how to feel right about now. ChallengeCick (talk) 14:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't just mean that your every edit is just altered, I'm saying most are immediately and completely undone. And I, and others, have asked you specific questions already, that you have failed to acknowledge. How do you reconcile your supposed stance of "taking things seriously" by writing things like "Whoaness" in an encyclopedia? That's not even a real word. How is that taking things seriously? I want to know thr thought process behind that edit. Sergecross73 msg me 17:02, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, yes, I've seen your comments about your past issues with images use, but considering how you've still found ways to repeatedly make disruptive image edits, , despite being told not to, I consider that to still be an issue as well. Sergecross73 msg me 17:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't why the hell you guys are going crazy for the Woahness edit but it is what it is. I basically heard that word along with some other stuff in a really well made Pink Floyd retrospective which obviously The Dark Side of the Moon and it's legacy and they included the word Woahness. So there, and as far as my edits being undone immediately, I remember how long my edits last and I can confidently, about 20% of all my edits have been undone immediately after. So there's my thought process on those things. Also, your example on me still disrupting image edits is irrelevant I'm sorry. ChallengeCick (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just that your edits are mostly undone, it's that you frequently engage in edit wars over your contested edits and fail to engage other users on the article's talk page. You've done it on Mario Kart 8, WrestleMania articles, The Dark Side of the Moon, Beatles articles... You don't think to ever just drop it. This, along with your comment "the disrupting images bit is irrelevant" just screams "I didn't hear that". Either learn to listen to other editors or stop editing. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:40, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's a rather poor approximation of how many of your edits have been undone. All you have to do is look at your list of contributions and see how many are tagged as "reverted". That means someone undid your entire edit. It says "reverted" a lot, and many times when it doesn't, it's because you were talking on a talk page rather than editing an article.
I'm going to be honest with you - if you can't even begin to understand what these probables are, it probably means you're not ready to be writing an encyclopedia. I'm going to give you a last chance, but I highly recommend you take this chance to spending time reading help pages and policies. If you just go off and start tweaking image sizes or add weird personal commentary on articles, you'll be blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 18:29, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking about it, the best thing you can do, ChallengeCick, is that if you do make an edit and someone reverts you, do not revert it back, even if you think you are right. If you really want that edit in, then engage with the user that did it and discuss it with them and learn why they did it. But, if you ignore this advice and engage in any new edit war, then I'd say that settles it and you're not ready for Wikipedia. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Since when did you see me getting to an edit war besides the Mario Kart 8 situation? And I have engaged, many times before. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing cause I definitely know. ChallengeCick (talk) 05:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For example, here, you changed images to a non-standard size twice, without edit summary or explanation, despite being told not to. I asked you about it yesterday and you still haven't responded. That's not engaging in discussion properly. It's that sort of thing you need to change. Sergecross73 msg me 11:49, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Bro I legit told you that the Woahness comment was wrong of me didn't you see it? As for reading policies and stuff, I don't need to read them as I'm not doing something wrong every single time I edit on wikipedia. If my edit gets reverted on wikipedia, most of the time it's because the main editors of the page aren't too accepting of my improvements on the page. Is there something I missed? ChallengeCick (talk) 18:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even read my last response? I asked you about your repeated altering of image sizes at Kickstart my Heart. Sergecross73 msg me 19:05, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh right. About Kickstart My Heart (my god what a banging song) and the image situation. It just didn't look right to me. It looked out of proportion and it still kinda does so I thought it was my job to align everything perfectly and it got reverted immediately. Thanks. ChallengeCick (talk) 19:30, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but that's the thing I'm talking about. You need to engage in discussion with those people and explain your actions with them. That's the sort of "engaging in discussion" you need to be participating in. Not just repeatedly reverting without explanation. Especially since you were in the wrong here. Infobox images are a set size that shouldn't be altered. This particular issue is done with, but you need to be doing that in future disputes. Sergecross73 msg me 20:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your "when did you see me getting to an edit war besides the Mario Kart 8 situation" I literally gave you a list of articles above you edit warred in: You've done it on Mario Kart 8, WrestleMania articles, The Dark Side of the Moon, Beatles articles... are you simply not reading our responses? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:08, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am reading bro. But are you seeing me doing that today I stopped with all those articles because good reason was given. You're lucky you're even getting this response from me as I'm currently revising for the biggest test of my life tomorrow! ChallengeCick (talk) 13:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You're responses are awful, and instill no confidence that you understand the problems here. No one is "lucky" to have read them - you're lucky you're not blocked. I'm not responding further, as these discussions are going nowhere. Any more violations or disruptive edits and your account is blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 13:47, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In two separate unrelated cases, you have, without any explanation or reason given, taken a list of items in alphabetical order, and re-ordered them into an indiscernible order. Why? What are you doing? Sergecross73 msg me 14:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because I think (and this is just my mentality) more famous people or more famous things, need to be on the top. Like how Michael Jackson is about the singer we all know and love. For the different Michael Jackson you go to the disambiguation. See what I mean. ChallengeCick (talk) 00:27, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Use edit summaries to convey things like this.
  2. Stop using subjective measures like that - it just leads to disputes over people's personal opinions. Use objective measures, like alphabetical or chronological order. Sergecross73 msg me 12:47, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

These edits finally pushes things over the line. I can't believe that, despite all these warnings and blocks, that you'd still managed to repeatedly make such a bad edit in relation to images yet again. In reviewing your recent edits, it's clear that the only thing that had changed was that I temporarily stopped watching over your edits. Far too many of your edits are undone immediately due to being unnecessary or ill-conceived. There's no way around it - you are not ready to be editing Wikipedia. You are blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 18:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Look dude, if that's not how you put your templates together, fine. That doesn't mean you have to underestimate all the good stuff I've done in my time here. ChallengeCick (talk) 10:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
