User talk:Speedy X 77
December 2012[edit]
Hello there. I've noticed every edit of yours has been involved in removing information supported by sources, half the time without even using an edit summary. Please stop doing this. If you doubt the accuracy of a source, explain why you're removing, and if someone puts it back in the article, then you are supposed to discuss on the article's talk page before removing it again. Thanks! Sergecross73 msg me 17:50, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- Second warning - Do not removed sourced information from articles. On Wikipedia, sources are going to trump your personal opinions. Additionally, you're still not discussing on article talk pages either. Continuing this behavior may get you blocked. Please stop. Sergecross73 msg me 22:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- Final Warning - Once again, you have removed sourced info from Sonic (series) without discussing on the talk page. Do it again and you will be blocked. You've started a discussion elsewhere, so I know you know how to do it. Please stop this. Sergecross73 msg me 15:39, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
SonicXtreme and Mario Galaxy[edit]
What about Sonic Xtreme and Mario Galaxy,how is Mario Galaxy like Sonic Xtreme?98.71.62.112 (talk) 17:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Reply[edit]
First, the statements in the article, while you may not agree with them, were based on reliable sources. You removed the statements without giving an explanation except for a YouTube link in the edit summary, which is not a reliable source. Second, you broke the references that were in the article by carelessly removing the essential parts of the ref and cite web templates. In my view, I was undoing damage you introduced. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:46, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
- Whatever your opinions are, they don't belong in an encyclopedic article. If you delete the information again, I will have to report you. You've already been warned at least three times from the looks of it. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 02:24, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- Whether or not "sergecross73 is wrong" doesn't change the fact that you can't remove content simply because you don't agree with it. This is disruptive behavior and you've been asked to stop multiple times. And care to elaborate exactly why me reporting you will only show me I am wrong? Wrong about what, exactly? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 07:09, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you read my previous statements, I have never said that I myself believe Mario is an icon, because that is completely irrelevant. I only said you removed statements that have been cited from reliable sources only because you don't agree with them. Even if the statement was "many believe Mario is one of the worst characters ever created" and it was still cited from reliable sources, I'd still keep it in. You, on the other hand, seem to be taking this more personally than you need to be. This isn't an "unfair fight," two editors are against your edits because they are considered disruptive and they don't fit Wikipedia policy. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 21:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- To answer your question "did you ever seen someone say mario is the icon?" Three reliable sources, cited right there in the article, all regard Mario as an icon. This proves my point that you're removing information that is explicitly sourced, with no reason other than "mario is not called the icon" which means you simply disagree with it. Again, you're taking this too personally. Chill out. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:32, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- You can see that the sentence "As Nintendo's mascot, Mario is considered by some to be the most famous video game character in history, and has been called an icon of the gaming industry." has three sources cited.--ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- IGN is one of those cited sources: Buchanan, Levi (February 13, 2009). "Is There a Bad Mario Game?". IGN. Retrieved January 23, 2010. "Despite the roar of harder edged, more realistic games over the past two console generations, no game character is a bigger, brighter icon for the entire industry than Nintendo's mascot." So that disproves your point. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:50, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- As I've said, two other sources. They're right there at the end of the sentence. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- Just look up to my earlier statements, and you'll see that I did in fact say there were three sources, twice.---ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:12, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- "Three reliable sources, cited right there in the article, all regard Mario as an icon." --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:19, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- The [5][75][76] links at the end of the sentence "As Nintendo's mascot, Mario is considered by some to be the most famous video game character in history, and has been called an icon of the gaming industry." are the citations. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:25, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Last warning[edit]
Thomas is right on everything he's said above, and you are on extremely thin ice. If you remove sourced information in favor of your personal opinions one more time, you're going to be blocked. On Wikipedia, we go by what sources say, not personal opinions. It looks like every single edit of yours so far has been either doing this, or discussing why you should be able to.
I highly suggest you do some research on what Wikipedia is before editing further. Read up on key ideas like using reliable sources, identifying reliable sources, avoiding original research, etc. Just about every comment you make suggests you're not aware of any of these concepts, and it's getting tiring continually notifying you of this.

Blocked[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Sergecross73 msg me 16:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Not a battleground[edit]
This is not a "fight"; and Wikipedia is not a battleground. Please stop obsessing over this. The article in question, Sonic R, is overall in pretty terrible shape. Why don't you focus your efforts in fixing it up some instead? Sergecross73 msg me 13:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Unreliable sources and faulty reasoning[edit]
- WP:YOUTUBE is not a reliable source.
- Gamefaqs is not a reliable source. (See WP:VG/RS
- Most of 1-8 is already explained in the article, with better wording and sources.
- The fact a reviewer didn't mention something does NOT prove your point. It could mean any number of things. Perhaps they thought it was similar but decided not to put that in their review. Maybe they never played Mario Kart. There's an infinite number of possibilities. It absolutely doesn't prove your point though.
- As I said before, you're better off learning how Wikipedia works rather than wasting your time digging up unusable or redundant stuff like this. Sergecross73 msg me 03:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Edits have shown that the same person is clearly behind the accounts of User:Speedy X 77, User:Sonic the Editer1125, and IP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.25.38.116 are all the same user, in a clear violation of WP:SOCKPUPPETRY, something the main account, Speed X, has been previously warned and blocked for.
Additionally, you have continually edited disruptively, held Wikipedia as a battleground, and refuse to listen to policy. Sergecross73 msg me 02:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
