My userpage

Why did you add a categories template to my userpage? Natureium (talk) 19:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

I don't know if you meant it as a joke or if you think that userpages need categories, but if you haven't worked with an editor in the past, you shouldn't expect them to guess your intention.
It's also not a good idea to recreate pages that an admin had deleted as vandalism. Natureium (talk) 23:07, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Jeannie Seely discography

Hello. Your "verification" tag for this article was not necessary, as there are 28 cited references from reliable and published sources. Allmusic and Billboard are considered such sources. It is helpful to read WP: Reliable Sources and WP: Discography style guidelines to understand why such articles should be cited. Now, as for her main article, I would agree that the citation tag should be there because there's only 8 sources listed. This is a place where a citation tag would make sense. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:32, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Could you please explain

why you reinstated these categories? Robvanvee 17:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps for future cases fix first then reinstate. Also your edit summary was not very helpful. Robvanvee 06:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Capitalization

If you insist on adding country and ethnicities to articles - they're not always necessary - at least have the common courtesy to properly capitalize them so that other editors don't have to clean up after you. ElKevbo (talk) 19:49, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

2020 in country music

Give me a chance to source it. Not every single word in a sentence has to be sourced.

Also, there are albums that have been released but have not charted yet since the new charts haven't been published yet. Give those ones time. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:11, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Admin noticeboard topic

Saw your post on the noticeboard. Did you contact WP:RFO? --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:02, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Slayer

Thanks for making me aware of some citation faults on Slayer. This one was a featured article way back in 2007 and maintenance has been lacking, it appears. I see quite a few editing errors throughout and plan to take it to WP:FAR soon unless someone is willing to clean it up.

However, can you please use {{BLP sources}} and not {{refimprove}} when asking for additional references on a biographical article? It makes it much easier for people who are specifically looking for biographical articles to fix up, especially given the nature of citing biographical articles vs. topical articles. I feel like I've told you this before. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:49, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Please help us out

Hello J. Thanks for all the work you do here at the 'pedia. I have asked numerous times in edit summaries for you to please put the bare url tags at the top of the article. This is in the instructions for the template. When those of us who work on fixing bare urls have 20+ articles to fix at a time having to hunt for the tag is a real time waster. This one took time that I could have been better spent working on other articles. I'm not sure why you feel the need to find so many different places to hide these but it is not helpful. If you can't help us so be it but rest assured if I could make your editing tasks easier I would be happy to do so. MarnetteD|Talk 19:27, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Good deal. Stay safe and well J. MarnetteD|Talk 22:53, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi again. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for putting these at the top of the article. It helps me in fixing those pesky bare refs. I really appreciate your response to my request. Enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 17:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

War Memorial Stadium and Northrop Grumman

Re: this edit to War Memorial Stadium (Hampton, Virginia), what's the stadium's connection to Northrop Grumman. The company isn't even mentioned in the stadium article. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 04:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

That's a very thin connection for a corporate infobox. Newport News Shipbuilding isn't even owned by NG now, but by Huntington Ingalls. - BilCat (talk) 15:14, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
It'd probably be better to create a new navbox for the school itself, or perhaps for Newport News Shipbuilding. It would have few links, but I think it would be more appropriate. - BilCat (talk) 15:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

On a related question, there are several former divisions, subsidiaries and facilities listed in the Template:Northrop Grumman navbox. How do you usually handle that in corporate navboxes? - BilCat (talk) 15:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I probably will. Do you have a corporate navbox with former divisions that I could look at for ideas on the NG navbox? I've got "writer's block", and just can't think of appropriate wording for a heading. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 16:16, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

New redirects

It looks like you made some mistakes with the redirects you just created. Why did you redirect Shelley Luther to Coronavirus disease 2019? The mistake of redirecting several article names, such as Shooting of Rigoberto Alpizar to Talk:Death of Breonna Taylor? Clearly, Shooting of Rigoberto Alpizar should redirect to Death of Rigoberto Alpizar instead. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Derek Chauvin

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Derek Chauvin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek Chauvin (police officer). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

George Floyd

Hey, Jax0677! You added a more citations needed to the header of this article but didn't leave an edit summary. The article has 40 citations and no citations needed tags, I don't think there's a single sentence of text that doesn't have a citation. The discography is the only thing in the article that isn't cited to the cell, and there is a citation in that table. What was your thinking? —valereee (talk) 00:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Stop with the wife

This is not a joking matter -- see WP:BLPNAME. If you keep this up (including with the creation of redirects) after receiving this notice I'll ask for you to be blocked. I rarely say shit like that but you seem to be completely lacking in judgment. EEng 21:42, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

You can start repairing the damage by replacing all the redirects by {{Db-g7}}. If I have to find an admin to delete them you are not going to like the fallout. EEng 21:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Got it now? I'm sure you think I'm a prick but you were singlehandedly enabling a completely innocent person to be harassed for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And you kept it up after this was pointed out to you. EEng 22:56, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

And yet you persist [2]. I'm going to spell this out in terms even you can understand: if you come within 100 miles of this person in any of your edits again, the almost certain result will be that you are indefinitely blocked until you can show that you understand basic project policies, not to mention that you are possessed of human decency. If you doubt what I'm saying, please risk it; right now nothing would give me more pleasure then to see you off the project. I've seen clueless before but you take the cake.

  • Wow, you sure are responsive all of a sudden. It's not me you need to convince in order to get yourself unblocked, but I know what questions are going to be asked before you do: How do we know you won't just keep doing similar stuff with other people? Why didn't you stop when it was explained to you so clearly that you were endangering a living person? I take no delight in your predicament but you've struck a chord in me that few have been able to reach in my many years on Wikipedia. EEng 02:31, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
    Reply - @EEng:, I did not know that posting about awards was in violation of policy. Now that I know this policy and am more familiar with it, I have no intention of writing about secondary individuals. --Jax 0677 (talk) 02:38, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
    That's not it. You repeatedly went out of your way to insert the name of a private individual, who explicitly has tried to remain anonymous, into an article in an explosive (to say the least) context that has significant potential to make that person the target of harassment and -- quite realistically -- actual harm. And you persisted in doing so after you were pointed to WP:BLPNAME. Then, after admins WP:REVDELed all that stuff to hide the person's identity from public view and you were told that that had been done, you went ahead and posted what you labeled a "reply" which contained yet more identifying information about this person. There's nothing wrong with "posting about awards" -- unless, that is, the award is so unique that it makes identifying the recipient easy. EEng 03:02, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
    Reply - @EEng:, I did not realize that posting about the award made identifying the individual easy. --Jax 0677 (talk) 03:22, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
    I believe you when you say you didn't realize it. That leads to the question of the quality of your judgment. At this point I'm going to break off my participation in the discussion since (as I keep mentioning) I'm not in a position to unblock you so I may be forcing you to grovel for nothing (not that I'm not enjoying that just a bit). EEng 03:31, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Why EEng I had not known you were so jaded. As someone who has been outed and harassed, even threatened, I can tell you that it is appalling that anyone should do such a thing. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 04:06, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Who are ya, Goldfinger?! ——Serial # 15:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Reply - @EEng:, I understand now that adding a name to an article can result in that individual being harassed, which is why I don't plan to come within 100 miles of writing about that person in the future. I now understand that Deepfriedokra is saying that they were once harassed, and that they are surprised about what I wrote.
  • @Serial Number 54129:, I am someone who edits for Wikipedia. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Once? It's the gift that keeps on giving. Cynicism aside, no reviewing admin should see me as "opposed" to unblocking. Inclined to unblock, but will leave that decision. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 18:00, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Looks like it expires June 21. At least one admin stopped by to give you DS notices, so I don't know if anyone would feel unblocking before then is a gpdd. idea. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 23:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Reply - @Deepfriedokra:, the Discretionary Sanctions notices were created by a bot, not an admin. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
    I've considered this unblock request, but hesitate to accept it without a much clearer explanation of why you did something so obviously unreasonable so many times, and/or some kind of much more serious indication that it won't happen with someone else. Just "I know what I did was wrong and I won't do it again" (paraphrasing) is not convincing. I'd want some indication that you don't think you just stumbled across some random crazy rule that doesn't make sense but you have to follow anyway. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC) (p.s. NinjaRobotPirate is not a bot.)
I can assure you NRP is an admin. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 00:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Reply - @Deepfriedokra:, I plan to stay away from writing about the individual in question, and plan to stay away from writing about similar secondary individuals. I understand that protecting the privacy of that person is important, especially if it does not contribute significantly to encyclopedic material. If I write about another very prominent individual, and it gets reverted, I will follow WP:BRD and tactfully discuss the issue without naming names. I am not sure how to make this any clearer. The messages that NRP sent are standard messages, which are not in response to a violation on my part. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I have to go AFK for a few hours, but I'm inclined to accept this request when I come back, not based on their actual unblock request, but on their subsequent comments, including the one right above this one. @Cullen328:, do you object if I unblock in a few hours? Anyone else watching this page object? Also, I'm not calling dibs, if anyone else wants to unblock before I get back.... --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:49, 16 0une 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

You currently appear to be 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. 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:

  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.

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. ElKevbo (talk) 20:04, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Please stop abusing the use of the {{Cleanup bare URLs}} tag as you did on Recover (The Naked and Famous album), especially when used to simply clean up after yourself as you have repeatedly done before, such as here and here. The template documentation says "before adding this template, consider trying toollabs:refill, paste into the text box the name of the page with bare references, then click the 'Fix page' button." You can also learn how to properly use the {{cite web}} and other citation templates yourself. The volunteers are not here to work for you.

  • Reply - @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars:, sorry for overusing {{LR}}. If I am not on a phone, I will keep my use of {{LR}} to a minimum (if I use it at all), so long as the Linkrot tool and my internet connection work properly. I do know how to use {{cite web}}, however, per the guidelines I set forth here, if a long article is heavily uncited, that is on the editor who wrote the material. I have one editor telling me not to use too many {{CN}} tags, and another editor tells me not to use {{+R}} for an article that has a great deal of uncited material. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:55, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
    • Your guidelines are just that...yours. No one else has agreed to them nor can they be referred to in discussions about Wikipedia articles. The problem is you are just too "tag happy". I use the same tags on articles and have never been called out on them because I use them sparingly by applying common sense. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Reply - @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars:, I don't think that my guidelines are completely unreasonable. When a large percentage of an engineering drawing is revised, the term "EXTENSIVELY REVISED" is often used, because it will take too much time to detail all of the changes. Similarly, {{+R}} can be used for a page that needs a large number of citations added to it. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:46, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Sean Danielsen

Please be a productive member of the community and not make pointy edits like this that you made to Sheep (EP). Instead of fixing the spelling error, you actually added a {{who}} tag to the article. Then when someone removed the tag, you reverted the edit rather then again just fixing the error yourself. I don't know what is wrong with you that you expect everyone else to do work that you can simply do yourself in the same amount of time or faster than you tagging articles. You're wasting both your time and that of other editors. You need to be respectful of the time others put into editing articles in this encyclopedia. These are basic edits that you know what needs to be corrected, can handle yourself, and do even on your phone. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:12, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jax 0677

(@Jax 0677:) Hi I own Rock Solid Talent Entertainment A band on my label The Chimpz need to update their wikipedia article photo as the one on their wikipedia page is from 2005 and has a member on it that is no longer in the band. How can they update the photo to a more recent one with the original line up. Thank you Philip H Taylor Philip H Taylor (talk) 15:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Impending Doom

FYI - the CfR-speedy process will take care of category creation for name changes. There was no reason to create Category:Impending Doom albums in anticipation of the change since it has to be deleted to allow for the eventual move of Category:Impending Doom (American band) albums. A bit surprising from you doing too much. Could you request deletion of Category:Impending Doom using {{db-author}} or {{db-emptycat}} per WP:OCEPON? Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:00, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

As I informed you just a few days ago, the CfR-speedy process will take care of category creation for name changes, so there is no reason to create Category:Capture (band) albums as it will just be deleted when Category:Capture the Crown albums is moved. Again, surprising from someone who likes to let bots do this type of automated work. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Template:Johnson & Johnson

Hello again Jax 0677, Indefensible and I have been collaborating on improving the Johnson & Johnson Template box for some time now. Would you have interest to look at the draft we have so far? The current proposed draft is in the collapsible box titled Johnson & Johnson Template Box Proposal.--Chefmikesf (talk) 01:12, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Jax 0677 Thanks! Due to my WP:COI, I won't personally edit the template box. Would you be open to help publish verified/sourced content?--Chefmikesf (talk) 01:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
Jax 0677 Much appreciated. Thank you for the additions.--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Guidance on a disagreement in content of a bio of a living person

I don't think the Tracy Chapman bio's Personal Life section is necessary or follows wikipedia guidelines concerning contentious topics. I don't think the one reference that links to a very vague article in the Guardian is fulfills the well-sourced requirement. Another editor argues the Guardian is a good source. I looked at what was in the source and there is no discussion of Chapman's sexually orientation or sex life in the one and only source. Any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BradLyman (talk • contribs) 07:08, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Consolidated navbox

I get it, because you created that navbox you want to oversee it. But "the navbox started with years" is not an argument for keeping the extraneous information there. WP:EXISTING states "Unlinked text should be avoided" in navigation templates. I'm not going to get into an edit war over something as trivial as this but you might want to rethink your approach to WP. (c.f. WP:OWN). 173.76.226.145 (talk) 09:20, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of pipeline accidents in the United States in 1978

Hello Jax 0677,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of pipeline accidents in the United States in 1978 for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi. Ultimately it depends on the administrator who deals with this. If you make a start on changing the offending text I'm sure that will go a long way to help. (The text highlighted red here [4] is the problematic text). If the article is kept or redirected, although the history is visible in the "View history" tab, the text of previous edits will be suppressed. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 20:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
