2011 Egyptian revolution

Hi Jacob, thanks for all your good work!

Could you please explain your last edit to 2011 Egyptian revolution (revision 462411914)? As you are probably aware, ClueBot reverted both that edit and the one you'd made earlier; you may wish to restore the changes made in that earlier edit.

Writing a short edit comment can help other editors know what your intentions were; using "Show changes" can help you spot changes you may have missed.

Thanks for helping to keep Wikipedia awesome! --pmj (talk) 21:14, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Battle of Binnish

Wikipedia does not have a category named Category:2011-2012 Syrian Uprising, as you can see by the fact that it's a redlink. You need to either find and use the correct category name, or leave the tag alone until somebody else does; an article is not allowed to be left sitting in a nonexistent category.

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. When you recently edited April 2012 Idlib Governorate Operation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Ford (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Barnastar

Thank you! :D And I responded on the Syria uprising talk page about the casualty numbers. Ya I misunderstood your intention so I'm sorry about that. :) EkoGraf (talk) 16:08, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Syria

Please don't change the lede in the way you did. You replaced the majority of the lede with sectarian stuff, nullifying a lede constructed by mass discussion in the talk page. Sopher99 (talk) 23:00, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean I changed the lead? I just added ceasefire to infobox. Jacob102699 (talk) 00:02, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011–2012_Syrian_uprising&diff=487577135&oldid=487570597 No hard feelings, but this says otherwise. Sopher99 (talk) 00:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

It seems it got accidentally shuffled around. That's weird, I don't know how that happened. Sorry, Jacob102699 (talk) 00:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Not sure how accidental it was considering that new sentences were formed and individual sections relocated but whatever, I'm not out to prosecute. Sopher99 (talk) 00:18, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I already added the kofi annan ceasefire to the box, we don't need an additional box, also ill revert the lede. Sopher99 (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah

Agreed, I see you already posted the complaint at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/ChronicalUsual/Archive#Clerk.2C_CheckUser.2C_and.2For_patrolling_admin_comments_5

Go on the page's history and request a checkuser from the users that perform checkusers.

In re. Chronicalusual

Hi Jacob, unfortunately I'm terribly busy in real life at the moment, so I cannot properly investigate the users you have reported on my talk page. I'm sorry, but I have to refer you to WP:SPI. Again, I apologise. Cheers. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 09:19, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Hama bombing

Ya seems like it, I think for the sake of neutrality we should classify it as artillery attack or bomb explosion accident, in essence both, we shouldn't exclude one for the other. One of the reasons too I think this is the proper course of action is because up to this point I have never seen this many claimed fatalities from one artillery attack, so I think there is some creedence to the claim about a bomb factory accident, and I realy don't see at this point why the military would use a SCUD, that would be major overkill even for them. EkoGraf (talk) 21:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Chronical

I think its the bahrain guy. The bahrain guy uses multiple ip addresses and edited the same pages chronical was editing. The bronx guy only showed up 10 days ago with a minor complaint, and after i originally turned down his complaint, he made an account. Eventually I fixed his complaint when I realized it was I who was really mistaken, then the bronx guy stopped editing. Chronicalusual uses a proxy server, meaning we can never truly ban him.

User:Gk007/SWTOR

Did you know that Star Wars:TOR has it's own wiki!? I encourage you to help us improve it! You may contact me directly for an editor account or request on on the login page! Thanks! — T13   ( C • M • Click to learn how to view this signature as intended ) 15:42, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

It's recently been brought to my attention that my previous post on the subject may be viewed as spam. I apologize if you feel that this is the case; however, I was just trying to inform the people using the userbox that are obviously very interested in Star Wars:TOR that the is a specialized wiki designed for that purpose and that, like all wikis, user participation is always welcomed and appreciated. Do with this information what you may, and may the force be with you. — T13   ( C • M • Click to learn how to view this signature as intended ) 16:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Article Feedback Tool update

Hey Jacob102699. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:44, 1 September 2013 (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.
