Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

Thankyouthankyouthankyou. That looooong, ugly, POV plot "summary" has to go. Granted, the version you entered was equally POV and full of slang, but it was a good start. Unfortunately, I have to revert this.WP:COPYRIGHT#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others Would you be willing to re-write it (to avoid the copyright violation, POV and slang issues)?

MMSC track

A tag has been placed on MMSC track, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:20091104083142!Amitabh Bachchan.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. December21st2012Freak Lord of the Vulcans 03:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

December 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Akmal Shaikh. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. NW (Talk) 03:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding or significantly changing content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to Search for extraterrestrial intelligence, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. DVdm (talk) 13:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:43, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:24, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi

From one Volatile to another, just wanted to stop by and say hi. Crazy that you've been editing Wikipedia since 2006! VolatileAnomaly (talk) 19:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Haha, hey there! Thanks for the message. From one Volatile to another, it's great to hear from you. It's certainly been a journey since '06! Take care. Volatileacid (talk) 16:31, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Jon Jones

You are making untrue statements at Jon Jones. Please stop or you will be reported. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 16:14, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello GOAT Bones231012,
Thanks for your message and for your passion for keeping the Jon Jones article accurate.
I believe you're referring to the information that was recently in the article about a supposed fight in November 2024. You are correct that this information was untrue. It was based on speculative or incorrect sources and was added in error.
My goal is the same as yours: to make sure the information is accurate and well-sourced. Thanks again for pointing out the error.
Best Regards.
Volatileacid (talk) 16:19, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
It’s not a "supposed fight". The fight happened. Jon Jones fought Stipe Miocic in November 2024. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 16:22, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

LLM usage

Hi; have you been using an LLM (such as ChatGPT) to assist in making some of your recent edits? Perryprog (talk) 15:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for reaching out. Yeah, I've recently used AI tools on occasion when putting articles together - mainly for organising info I've already researched. But the actual writing and all the fact-checking is mine. Everything gets verified against proper sources and fully cited before it goes in. I'm aware AI makes stuff up, which is why I don't trust it for actual content - just use it as a sort of drafting tool. I do my own research, check everything, then write it properly to meet Wikipedia's standards. From what I understand, Wikipedia's main concern is the quality and accuracy of what ends up in articles, not really how it was drafted. Volatileacid (talk) 19:46, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Did you check everything in this edit? Perryprog (talk) 19:54, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I'm very busy, you're going to have to be specific. And it was a very long time ago (15 months) Volatileacid (talk) 20:34, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Well, it's straining my credulity when you say that you're verifying everything against proper sources and is fully cited when every single citation in that edit refers to non-existent sources, including websites that have never even been registered. Perryprog (talk) 21:04, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
