Deletion in Atomic Theory
I have had to "undo" your deletion. Please do not simply delete referenced content without an explanation -- it appears from this talk that you've been asked previously to refrain from doing that. Thank you. Croessus the king of lydia (talk) 00:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Scorpion frog sajjad jafari.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Scorpion frog sajjad jafari.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Scorpion and frog
The article definitely needed curating, but that is not the same as acting as its custodian. The following past edits are particularly questionable: The innumerable individual changes give the impression of editorial incompetence; the invitation to recommend the article for Good Article status is uncalled for and deluded. I am also unhappy at your deletion of your talk page history, rather than archiving it.
 * 1) your deletions of properly referenced statements,
 * 2) your unreferenced original research,
 * 3) your additions of off-topic information gleaned from other WP articles.

Rather than bringing the matter up on the Talk page, or inviting Admin comment, I decided to come here first. Sweetpool50 (talk) 15:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 * You could at least tell me whether I've improved anything. Kurzon (talk) 17:02, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove illustrations of items that are directly referenced in the text. You have done this twice, removing the only illustration of a klappvisor, and more recently the only illustration of a fixed bavier and an unattached plate gorget. Are some images less than ideal? yes, but we are limited by what is available on Wikimedia. In covering a subject with many esoteric terms and little-known physical aspects, relevant coverage in illustrations is a high priority. Urselius (talk) 09:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Pro wrestling
Hi. I have seen your recents edition in the article. First, I think the terms aren't correct. As other user told you, the factual term is staged or scripted. Mock combater, parody... aren't neutral, looks like a anti-pro wrestling article.

Also, sources. The first section is sourced. Not described as mock combat, but performance art instead. I know, pro wrestling it's several things: its a theatre, it's a scripted fight, a choreogaphy. But your editions hasn't sources to support your claims. I included the sources and some parts of your editions, I think the current is a good approach. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Uh, is English your first language? Because your page makes me think you're Spanish.  Mock combat and parody ARE neutral terms.  I don't know where you got the idea that they are  biased.  Methinks you don't know English so well. Kurzon (talk) 19:24, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. No, English isn't my first language. As I said, User MPJ-DK told ""mock" is not neutral - staged is factual", which it's true. Most sources call wrestling staged or scripted. Sources in the lead say "performance". Also, Parody has negative connotations. Wikipedia says "is a work which is created to imitate, make fun of or comment on an original work." I prefer "pro wrestlers perform" or "pro wrestlers have characters", which is more neutral. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

And how is "parody" offensive? This is all theater, and not meant to be taken seriously. Kurzon (talk) 05:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Please don't "fix" br tags. ,, and all work exactly the same, so all you're doing is cluttering up people's watchlists. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:51, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It's about the color coding in the editor. Kurzon (talk) 04:09, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That's not a sufficient reason to clutter up my watchlist, and those of other editors, with changes that are unnecessary but have to be checked out. Please stop. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:43, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I have a right to make improvements to Wikipedia. Learn to live with it. Kurzon (talk) 06:50, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I absolutely LOVE your reverted comment: "Oh piss off you selfish twit." So for your singular convenience, you want to inconvenience countless other Wikipedia editors who have to check your edits changing "br" tags.  Who, precisely, is being "selfish" here? Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:52, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, perhaps I was being too harsh, but I was not trying to inconvenience anyone. On the contrary, I was trying to make things more convenient for anyone who uses color-coding in the editor. Kurzon (talk) 14:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of referenced information
Hi there. With this edit you deletion specifically referenced information without providing any explanation. Please don't do that, you know you shouldn't be deleting referenced info. There is a talk item on the talk page about it. It's clear you disagree with this statement for some reason, though it's been in the article for many years and is now very clearly referenced. Please take to the talk page if you have any issues on this, though not sure why you would. Canterbury Tail talk 10:43, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Fine, have it your way, I'll leave it as it is. Maybe I can get in touch with Rick Priestley again and he could clear some things up. It's not a big deal anyway. Kurzon (talk) 10:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well this is Wikipedia, WP:VERIFIABILITY. We have references that state that it's based on WFB, and the rules (the game portion) are very clearly based on WFB (and considering Priestly wrote both of them...). If you have references to the contrary then that's fair, but we'd need references. Canterbury Tail talk 11:36, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello Kurzon,

I just had to revert an edit of yours to the article The Scorpion and the Frog (diff). You removed "written in Sanskrit" and put quotation marks in a blockquote template. The latter is discouraged by the Manual of Style, and for the former, you didn't provide an edit summary explaining why you removed that text. In future, I recommend mentioning in edit summaries your rationale for removing text or other article material. This will mean you won't get reverted by someone who didn't understand why you did it, as was the case here. Please feel free to edit the page again to re-remove the text with an edit summary explaining your rationale. Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 07:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

I see you removed the text again without providing an edit summary. Please could you at least explain here? Thank you, DesertPipeline (talk) 12:28, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * It didn't seem important. Kurzon (talk) 13:46, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about this subject myself, so I think the best idea would be to ask on the talk page for the article whether or not it is important. I'd also advise leaving the text in the article until it can be determined whether or not it is actually important. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 03:13, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm the one who put that text there in the first place. I changed my mind.  I decided that the language of the Panchatantra isn't important in this context, just the location. If I talk about this on the Talk page I guarantee nobody will chime in because I am the only editor working on this article. Kurzon (talk) 06:55, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's fair. In future though, please do consider leaving edit summaries, especially when removing article material – it usually makes the process of improving Wikipedia go more smoothly :) DesertPipeline (talk) 07:33, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Scorpion + Frog
I owe you a longer explanation on why I reverted you recently at this article. I thought you were jumping the gun. We've appealed for input and should wait a reasonable time for comments. If none come within (say) a month, then the next move would be to widen the appeal.

Meanwhile, I've been looking at allied fables. You're right about the possible connection with The Frog and the Turtle. In the 18th century translation of the whole Pilpay/Bidpai work (and we're looking principally for English language connections) the context in which the fable is told is concerned with ingratitude for benefits. And Ashliman groups the Bidpai story with Aesopic analogues. All three of those cited, however, have a moral suggesting that providential justice is at work, which is very different from the moral drawn from the scorpion and the frog. So even though there is an admitted connection between these stories, the conclusion drawn from them can be different.

As I said before, I was impressed by the fact that no less than three editors since 2010 have seen an additional connection with the older Aramaic fable of the scorpion leaving the ferrying frog unharmed. I've now found a Jewish source that does make a connection with the Aesopic story. Unfortunately, the Google Books pages break off just where the author is about to make the connection plainer. If you could find a copy of the book and look it up, that would be useful. The story is obviously concerned with Divine justice, which allows a suspension of natural law (the scorpion abstains from stinging the frog) when a higher aim (the punishment of an unjust man) is in view.

What we have, then, is a series of disconnections. Aesop/Bidpai have a scorpion and different creatures and are concerned with punishment of ingratitude. Their stories are bracketed on either side with reinterpretations of a frog and scorpion partnership coloured by very different cultures. Orson Welles tells the story cynically, in a 20th century atheistic context; Middle Eastern Jews, with a mindset (held in common with Islam) that nothing happens outside the Divine purpose, use the story in the context of what Ashliman calls "unnatural partnerships".

Since we now have a source that sees some connection between the stories (Welles' apart), I hope you'll agree that it would be a good idea to keep mention of the Jewish story in the article but not add comment (or my new source) while we wait to see if we can get any further comment. Sweetpool50 (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 * I have a hunch that if you searched some database of old folk tales, you will find a lot of hits for frogs and scorpions, and the fables will be of all kinds of things. Best to stick to the really strong connections. Kurzon (talk) 09:48, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Partisans 1941 moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Partisans 1941, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Hi, sorry for reverting your latest edit on the article Right-wing authoritarianism but you didn't provide any summary for it, and the same applies to most of your edits on that article. Since unexplained massive edits are very frequent, they could be interpreted by other users as disruptive rather than in good faith; please provide edit summaries for your edits in order to avoid further misconceptions in the future.

Lev Nitoburg moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Lev Nitoburg, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Kurzon. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Partisans 1941, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Superman Copyright
Hi!

Wanted to chat a bit more about that copyright. United States works enter copyright every year on January 1, and they do not enter on a rolling basis through the year. You're right that they expire on January 1 and not on December 31.

In 2023, works from 1927 entered the public domain following a full 95 years worth of time since that year. Since Superman was first introduced in a work published in 1938, he will have to wait a full 95 years after 1938 to become public domain in the United States. Using the difference of 96 between 1927 and 2023, this means that Superman would enter the public domain in 2034 in the United States. I didn't want to just revert your edit, and I appreciate abiding by the citation.

With all that said, what are your thoughts on changing the copyright date to January 1, 2034 with a note for American copyright? MonkeyBBGB (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Edit warring warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war  according to the reverts you have made on Professional wrestling. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. GaryColemanFan (talk) 10:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

English version
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Warhammer 40,000, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. <b style="color: Blue;">Canterbury Tail</b> <i style="color: Blue;">talk</i> 22:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

I just discovered a |English-language source for the story in an American magazine dated 1939 - It's only a snippet but the variant of the story is unlike any other you've discovered. It might be a clue to how Orson Welles came to know of it. Sweetpool50 (talk) 11:52, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Deletion in the "The Keys to the White House"
I found it very upsetting that you deleted the section on Lichtman's other predictions, as they contained important details about his record (e.g. his 1984 and 2008 predictions coming 2 years before the elections, his 1988 prediction coming when Bush was 17% behind in the polls).

Wikipedia is meant to be an informational resource, not just something that lists contentious circumstances, and your edits removed a great deal of useful information.

I would like the original text restored, if you please. DanielXW1 (talk) 15:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * This should go on the Talk page for that article but whatever.
 * There is nothing noteworthy to say about a predictions which went smoothly. Kurzon (talk) 15:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That's my point, there is. He made them 2 years before the fact in 84 and 08, and even though the polls were 17% against him in 88. That's information that would be difficult to look up otherwise, particularly the articles cited. DanielXW1 (talk) 15:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Copying content within Wikipedia
FYI, as I understand it, an edit like this one should give the page of origin per WP:COPYWITHIN. Not a big deal for me. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Cream (Prince song)

"Cream" is a song by American singer-songwriter Prince and his backing band the New Power Generation, released in September 1991 by Paisley Park and Warner as the second single from Prince's 13th studio album, Diamonds and Pearls (1991). In a 2004 MTV special, Prince joked that he wrote the song while looking at himself in the mirror. "Cream" became Prince's fifth and last number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100, staying at the top for two weeks. The song entered the top 10 in 15 other countries worldwide, peaking within the top three in Australia, Canada, Norway, and Switzerland. Its music video was directed by Rebecca Blake.

The single's B-side, "Horny Pony", a rap song that was replaced on Diamonds and Pearls at the last minute by "Gett Off", was re-used from the "Gett Off" single. "Cream" was also released as a maxi-single EP with remixes and songs/raps loosely based on "Cream". The EP is notable for including several prank telephone conversations. In the UK, "Gangster Glam" is an additional B-side on the 12-inch maxi maxi-CD single. In Japan, an EP was released with the tracks from the US maxi single, and four tracks from the US "Gett Off" maxi single.

Chart performance
In the United States, "Cream" hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1991; however, it did not make the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart because it was not sent to urban radio; "Insatiable" was sent to urban stations instead. The song made the top 20 in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 15, while entering the top 10 in Austria (4), Belgium (10), Denmark (6), France (5), Ireland (7), Italy (4), the Netherlands (4), Norway (3), Portugal (7), Spain (8), Sweden (6) and Switzerland (3). On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Cream" climbed to number six, while reaching number two on the European Dance Radio Chart. It was also a top-10 hit in Australia, and New Zealand, peaking at number two and five, respectively.

Critical reception
Upon the single release, Larry Flick from Billboard remarked that after the risque "Gett Off" "comes an equally sexy pop/rocker" that recalls "Bang a Gong". He added, "Militaristic drum beats, an unshakable chorus, and snakey guitar and keyboard lines add up to a pretty good bet for multiformat acceptance." David Browne from Entertainment Weekly described it as "a standard-issue funk workout with oh-so-daring lyrics like U got the horn so why don't U blow it!". George Caplan from Melody Maker complimented it as an "excellent" single, "with its ghostly, Hendrix guitars transcending mere pastiche." Another Melody Maker editor, Everett True, wrote, "'Cream' is drab run-of-the-numbers funk, with only the occasional smoothed-out vocal to recommend it." Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Could this second single from the new album Diamonds and Pearls be a leftover composition of the never-realised Prince/Bonnie Raitt collaboration?" They also concluded, "This basic R&B song is definitely his best single since 1989's "Alphabet Street"." A reviewer from People Magazine deemed it as "tart and bluesy". David Fricke from Rolling Stone described it as "Kiss" "with a garagey funkadelic kick". Another Rolling Stone editor felt the song is "impossibly slinky". Scott Poulson-Bryant from Spin viewed it as "poppy glam-rock". Neil McKay from Sunday Life complimented it as "irresistible pop".

Retrospective response
In an 2016 retrospective review, Patrick Corcoran from Albumism stated that the oft-repeated tale of "Cream"'s composition "doesn't lessen the impact of its swaggering braggadocio years later". Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic called it a "sexy T. Rex groove" and a "terrific" pop single. Mike Diver for the BBC said in his 2010 review, that it is "quite simply a song about getting it on, and a brilliant one at that".

Music video
A music video was made to accompany the song, directed by Rebecca Blake. It was filmed in Los Angeles on May 31 and June 1, 5 and 6, 1991.

Influence and legacy
In 2020, Cleveland.com ranked "Cream" at number 33 in their list of the best Billboard Hot 100 number-one song of the 1990s, stating that it "fully realizes the sultry funk odyssey Prince was going for on his 13th studio album." The Guardian ranked it number 18 in their list of "Prince's 50 Greatest Singles – Ranked!" in 2019. Alexis Petridis viewed the song as a "glorious, loving homage to "Get It On", complete with lyrical echoes (the object of Prince's affections is "filthy-cute" as opposed to "dirty-sweet")." He added, "Never given to underestimating his own importance, Marc Bolan would doubtless have adored it." NME ranked "Cream" number 34 in their list of "Singles of the Year" in December 1991.
