Huion

Just letting you know that I placed a CSD A7 tag on Huion, because I think it is clearly not notable enough. If you think I am wrong, please let me know on my talk page. WannaBeEditor (talk) 08:03, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

I thought about that but with so little info I wasn't sure so I thought I'd give it a chance. JamesG5 (talk) 17:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

NPP

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. However you missed a serious case of WP:COPYVIO at Assassins creed cronicles of india so I must ask you, in view of your high inaccuracy rate of patrolling, to stop patrolling new pages for a while until you have read and fully understood the instructions at WP:NPP and the policies at WP:DELETION. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:20, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Seriously? I missed something on a page I gave a cursory glance at and left no tags on because it's not a topic I know well & missed a copyvio that I couldn't be expected to know so you want me to stop patrolling? In point of fact my accuracy rate is quite high. JamesG5 (talk) 08:01, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Revision complete

Hi James, I rewrote the article that you tagged and did my best to conform to the guidelines. Would you please remove the request for deletions and the other tags you placed on it?

Thanks! BNEWriter (talk) 05:24, 7 March 2016 (UTC) BNEWriter

Ishaal

Dear James. I agree with the reasons you gave for speedy deletion of my article up to the point that it was mostly copied from the original report or may be it was not encyclopedic in construction as it was my first attempt to write something for Wikipedia but the point that a single report from a group like that would not merit an entire page to itself is not agreed upon. This report actually gives a detail about how the ISIL is equipping itself with a variety of homemade bombs and how are they getting the raw material with such ease. The report also suggests that the intermediaries between seller and buyer is the area we must focus upon. I asked you to help me construct that article in a better way as it was my first attempt but to my dismay you deleted it. Criticizing is easy but helping to shape something is a difficult task. And one more thing, everyone has a different mindset and perception. The things important or comprehend-able to you might not be important to me and vice versa. thanks but no thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IshaalZehra (talk • contribs) 05:20, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Re: Recreation of article you just deleted

Re your message: I salted the article, too. The grammatical errors in the article were funny considering the topic. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:17, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I checked the website for copyvio & it's even WORSE. You'd think an education page would try harder, ESOL or otherwise. JamesG5 (talk) 07:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Fylbecatulous. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Emily Trosclair, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Fylbecatulous talk 14:53, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Articles

Hello and thanks for notifying me! At best, this could simply be moved to Draftspace again but, considering it's at mainspace currently, PROD is acceptable and I'm now PRODing Emily Trosclair. Hopefully the user will acknowledge this and make any necessary improvement at the Draftspace instead. Sincerely, SwisterTwister talk 08:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Re: Probable socks

Re your message: Yes, looks like some sockpuppetry going on. I opened Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gauravar regarding the accounts. Please add anything I missed, though I know you can't see half of the edits because they have been deleted. I did salt both articles on the clinic. Maybe everybody will disappear when the AfD closes as Delete. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Re your message: I blocked the new duck. There's no need to re-open the SPI. I probably should have done the original blocks without the SPI as they were clearly ducks. I salted the article, but I suspect that new ducks and recreated articles under different names will appear. I also blocked the IP address for a week. Perhaps that will slow them down for a bit. When you find new articles and socks, feel free to drop me a note or you can add to the SPI if I happen to disappear for awhile. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:28, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding COI

Hello JamesG5,

I would like to declare COI. But don't know how to?

editing john walton

Hi James!

Thanks for the comments about the John Walton page I added. I've added a link to Carl Joe Williams and added a link on Carl's page back to John's since they're both members of the same collective. I'd like to continue working on Carl's page, but just wanted to get it started!

thanks, jina Fishantena (talk) 02:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Austin Petersen

I added a source to the page Austin Petersen (politician). Did I successfully remove the deletion tag? Ghoul flesh (talk) 03:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Ghoul

@Ghoul flesh: That's a "yes, but." The source you used doesn't meet WP:RS. You need to cite reliable third party sources, such as newspapers. No blogs, no political websites, etc. JamesG5 (talk) 03:37, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

It wasn't for an article, it is just a page about the website stating that Petersen is the owner and founder. Either way, I am adding his political positions, cited to his official campaign website. Hopefully that will satisfy? Ghoul flesh (talk) 03:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Ghoul

@Ghoul flesh: Nope, those won't be any good either. You should really look at WP:RS for a guide to what's acceptable, but to help out I linked to some sources on your talk page. To be valid, you need 3rd party sources not directly linked to him or his political party. 03:43, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

GENLEC

Hi James. Thanks for the feedback. Should I leave the article in Sandbox until I find more references? Kind regards. acumenwrite —Preceding undated comment added 06:56, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

@Acumenwrite: That's probably a good idea. Based on what was said about the company, I didn't speedy it but I came close & thought it likely someone else would. Without 3rd party reliable sources to show WP:NOTABILITY it'll likely get tagged again. You can also use the draft space or the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. AfC might be your best bet, you can get it reviewed for feedback multiple times before submitting it to main space. JamesG5 (talk) 07:02, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Impostor

That editor is an impostor and is not me. Thought you ought to know. Adam9007 (talk) 00:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

@Adam9007: I noticed. Basic mistakes like the 2106 and the unlikeliness of you sending me that barnstar gave it away. Whomever it was tried to be cute & set it up to go back to your talk page. I was about to report it, but you beat me to it. JamesG5 (talk) 00:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I think he was trying to get me blocked! Adam9007 (talk) 00:36, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Antoine Philibert Albert Bailly

I think you are supposed to put the wikilink to foreign articles rather than the web address, correct? Thank you. RES2773 (talk) 00:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

@RES2773: You're right, I forgot to fix the format of the link per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Db-a2, I've updated it. JamesG5 (talk) 01:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Wanted to make sure of it myself ;) RES2773 (talk) 01:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Tiran Island multiple reverts

If an admin is here about the issues with the Tiran Island article, I am aware I stepped all over the 3 revert rule but I believe I was acting within one of the good faith exemptions to protect the page from obvious vandalism by a new account created just for that purpose. I (and 2 other editors) warned that user about disruptive behavior, and I filed a formal request for admin intervention in the issue. Going to bed now, hoping not to wake up blocked.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:JamesG5 reported by User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (Result: ). Thank you. _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 10:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for warning [1]. Can you deal with him? He just threatened me on the talkpage of Big Mean Ethan Dean. 68.100.116.118 (talk) 05:48, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

"I hate you" is rude, but not a threat. I'll keep an eye on it & holler for an admin if he gets worse. JamesG5 (talk) 05:54, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Rc4wd

I have deleted the article as promotional, and protected it from re-creation (also as the properly capitalized version RC4WD). On a related note, the article wasn't really a copyright violation; it was a copy and paste from a mirror of a deleted Wikipedia article, the mirror expressly acknowledging that the original article was under the GFDL license. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:54, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

@Mike Rosoft: Yeah, I saw that in your deletion summary, I wasn't sure what the source of that page was. Whole thing looked like a copyvio & that was what showed up on search, but I knew it deserved a speedy for promo regardless. Thanks for salting. JamesG5 (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

A1 speedy tag

Thanks for patroling new pages, an essential and under-appreciated task, but I don't think WP:CSD#A1 was the right tag for Kareem Adel just now: that is for "articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article", and though iut was very short, the subject was clear - this guy Adel. It didn't say anything useful about him, and WP:CSD#A7 would do just fine. This may seem like a nitpick, but choosing the right tag is important so that the hopeful newbie understands what the problem was, and maybe does better next time. Keep up the good work. There is useful advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:46, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

@JohnCD: Thanks. I was really wavering on that one, I almost went with A7 but since it was just a one sentence piece I decided to go A1. Will keep that in mind for next time. JamesG5 (talk) 13:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Michael Joy Senados

According to the talk page its a work in progress (hence why the tag as removed.) Wgolf (talk) 02:36, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

@Wgolf: It's an autobio that was previously deleted as no significance, I doubt it'll make it this time. But autobio issues aside adding a page and then working on it makes little sense, better, IMO, to cite the policies then point the user to Sandbox or AfC to create a new article. JamesG5 (talk) 02:39, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but as of late I am seeing tons of articles that some people are hasty speeding and soon a admin or someone else will remove that for the fact (which I've been guilty of also) Wgolf (talk) 02:40, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Re: SPI?

Re your message: As you noticed, I took care of the SPI. I think your report was fine. Since all of the evidence has been deleted and the back links have been blanked by the original account, it is difficult for you to file a full report with details. Since I can review the deleted edits, it is obvious what the connections are. There isn't much more to do with the SPI case, so I closed it. Unless they return with a fourth account. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:58, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Garden Making feedback

JamesG5, thank you so much for your help and your feedback! This is a new medium for me and I obviously need to read up more on the codes etc.

To your point about COI: yes, i am a sporadic freelancer for the magazine. However i work for a number of publications and do not have a proprietary relationship with this one in particular. if i can attribute the info to external sources is there a conflict of interest?

I would also like to add other Canadian magazines to Wikipedia, some I have (or have had) a relationship with and some not.

If it's ok for me to proceed, can you point me in a direction to create successful links? The sources are listed but not linked properly.

I also need to know how to add tags, as well as the box with the cover.

Sorry for being so needy... there's a lot of instructional info to sort through and i'm guessing i just haven't found the right page yet.

thanks again

Heatherwhite09 (talk) 17:37, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Heatherwhite09

@Heatherwhite09: I would say it's better safe than sorry to post the COI notices, simply to preclude anyone challenging your pages based on it. The main page on cites is WP:CITE but it might be easier to start at WP:REFSTART. Box info is at H:IB. Best place to go for help is the Teahouse. While you're learning, rather than using trial & error and creating an article in the main space that might be challenged you should try the Articles for Creation (AfC) process. You can assemble the article there, then submit it for review & feedback before posting it. I hope this helps! JamesG5 (talk) 04:07, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

@JamesG5 Great, I'll check out the resources you note today. cheers! Heatherwhite09 (talk) 09:56, 24 April 2016 (UTC)heather @JamesG5 I think I have addressed all the points indicated, including noting my COI. I am not authorized to upload a cover of the magazine... can you point me in a direction for that? Thanks again for all your valuable advice Heatherwhite09 (talk) 01:30, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Heatherwhite09

@Heatherwhite09: Take a look here WP:DCP, here WP:COPYRIGHT, and here WP:IUP. JamesG5 (talk) 01:49, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

@Heatherwhite09: You need to create a talk page at Garden Making Magazine & post a copy of the COI notice there, too. JamesG5 (talk) 01:51, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi James, I am trying to right article as per the guidelines. Would you please remove the request for deletions or can you please tell me where I m going wrong
