Why do you keep getting rid of the class section I made Mscoopo Mscoopo (talk) 22:27, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- @User:Mscoopo, because Wikipedia is not a game guide. We do not list every bit of trivial, unimportant information about video games, or any other subject for that matter. Please remove it--Jac16888 Talk 22:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Sorry but I don't see it that way so don't remove it please. I will remove it if you can persuade me — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mscoopo (talk • contribs) 22:44, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Actually I don't need to argue that the content is of zero value. You have copy and pasted the content from the copyright protected page at [1], therefore making the content a copyright violation. I have removed it, if you restore it again you may be blocked for a serious breach of Wikipedia rules--Jac16888 Talk 22:50, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
i'll make a deal. Let it stay until the 20th but I won't argue either way you choose. I promise I won't restore it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mscoopo (talk • contribs) 22:58, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Please actually read what I wrote above. The content is a copyright violation. I.e. it is breaking the law. There is no deal to be made, the content is gone and it stays gone--Jac16888 Talk 23:01, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

why not— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mscoopo (talk • contribs) 17:56, 18 December 2014

Article on V.R. Prabodhachandran Nayar- Deletion Regarding
I worked near about more than a month and finally succeeded in completing it. But I am very much surprised and worried over its deletion. Your reason for deletion, I am not clear. So please guide me how to improve it so that it become neutral. Where I went wrong, I am not able to make it out from your very general message. Please help me in making it acceptable to Wikipedia.

- Your article has not been deleted, I have just moved it back to the draft space, Draft:V.R. Prabodhachandran Nayar.

Clermont Gaels Deletion Feb 7
Hey, you just deleted my page Clermont Gaels. I'm aware it was in French but I am actually translating the French page into English and I just copied the source code from the French page so that I would have the exact same layout. I was in the process of translating all of the French when you deleted it. I'm new to this and I received a message saying that the article was listed at "Articles needing translation" but I am unable to find my article anywhere? I'm not sure what to do?AJ6000 (talk) 23:34, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- It was deleted because an article being in a foreign language and existing on another language Wikipedia is reason for speedy deletion. Rather than pasting the french article into the article-space I suggest you create it in your "userspace (e.g at User:AJ6000/Clermont Gaels, work on translating it and then move it to the article space when it is ready--Jac16888 Talk 23:59, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Your User Page
Hey Jac16888, I have been watching your page, and I have been seeing all the vandalism that has been happening. But luckily, you always hide the edit summary before I get a chance to read it! :P However, I think you should protect your user page either for vandalism, or user protect within own user space. Just a suggestion. Thanks! Yoshi24517Chat Online 16:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Open_Broadcasting_Software
Hi. I wanted to link the Open Broadcasting Software item on OBS to an article on that application, but you've deleted it on account of notability criteria (or rather, moved it to the author's userpage, which I presumably shouldn't link to). Would you consider restoring this article? I know nothing about streaming software, but even I've heard of OBS - I would describe it as "well-known software" and was actually quite surprised it didn't have a page. Note that its website is the top hit on Google for the acronym "OBS", but is now absent from the OBS disambiguation page for lack of an article to link to. Meanwhile, many other items on that page (including another, more obscure, application) have their own articles. This is likely to confuse users searching for "OBS" after encountering the term online. Here is a Google search on "Open Broadcaster Software" for reference. As a final observation, while searching Wikipedia, I found an article for an application called "OpenBroadcaster". If you attempt to search the web for this program, all you'll find is page after page of results for OBS! You actually need to filter out "Open Broadcaster Software" to even find results for that application. Troyp (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:Voxletum/Open Broadcaster Software was userfied as a result of an AFD, and has not been changed/improved since then so I don't see any reason to move it back, as there are no reliable sources or references to demonstrate notability at this time. I would advise you to work on it in it's current location, or move it to your own userspace, and then submit it to the WP:AFC system--Jac16888 Talk 19:19, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand: was it removed due to notability as stated, or due to the article quality? If the former, why would the article need to be improved to be restored?
- Unless Wikipedia's notability criteria are completely broken, it should be easy to verify the notability of something like OBS. For instance:
- • Google gives 1,770,000 hits for the name in quotes
- • The OBS forum has 30,626 registered members, with 252 users currently online when I just checked (I think I saw the maximum was close to a thousand).
- • I can't get download numbers from either github or the official OBS download from AWS, but the Sourceforge repo (a secondary mirror at the bottom of the first page of search results) shows 2,583 downloads per week. I'm guessing the total weekly downloads are in the five figures.
- I don't think there can any doubt about notability. The article quality is another matter: it didn't look the best (although not the worst either), but that doesn't seem to be the reason it was removed.
- I'm not sure I understand: was it removed due to notability as stated, or due to the article quality? If the former, why would the article need to be improved to be restored?
- I wouldn't be the best person to create a new OBS article. I don't know anything about video capture and streaming software (or particularly care, for that matter). Anyway, it probably doesn't matter. People can find information on it elsewhere. The main problem was that a disambiguation page for OBS existed, but didn't include the most common meaning, which could actively confuse users - and the item I added was removed for lacking a link. However, it now looks like I'll be able to restore the item by linking to another article, so I guess it doesn't matter. In the event that you don't restore it, I'll leave it to OBS users to create/rehabilitate an article for it if they want to. Troyp (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- It was removed due to notability, it is both the notability and the quality that are why I won't restore it. Notability is more than googlehits and forum members, these are irrelevant. Notability needs to be demonstrated through the presence of multiple reliable 3rd party references--Jac16888 Talk 12:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trinidad de la Noi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model (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.

Reference desks edit protected
Over at AN/I, I have been led to believe that the current state of reference desks being edit protected is due to you. If that is the indeed the case, whazzup with all that, yo? 88.112.50.121 (talk) 02:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of John Vergara page
Dear Jac16888,
I hope you're doing well. Yesterday I created a page for a leading young luthier under the name "John Vergara" that you deleted today. There was a note that the content was copied from his official website so today he sent an email for Permissions that allow using the content in his bio. This is the Ticket#2015051510021082. Usually when I create pages I receive a note on how to enhance my article before being deleted. Kindly, instruct me on how to avoid deletion and what the issue with the page was. I created several pages for prominent people before and this luthier I am trying to create a page for is taking luthiery to a whole new level in making guitars and Ouds. How can I bring his page to birth without risking its deletion? Thank you for your cooperation — Preceding unsigned comment added by NisreenNasser (talk • contribs) 18:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't delete it because of the copyright issue, I deleted it because it was blatant advertising, not surprising if the content came from their own website.

Jac16888,
I saw your post, and didn't want to respond on the village pump, so I'll respond to you here. As far as blanking a page, it depends, in fact, policy permits pages to be blanked under certain conditions (attack pages, BLP, courtesy blanking ). As far as copy and paste, I've been told it breaks attribution, my understand of what that means is that it doesn't identify the author that wrote the copy and pasted item. However, I don't see copy-and-paste as a bad thing, for example, I have four articles on Wikipedia, I worked on them in sandboxes set up on my own page. Once they were ready, I simply copy-and-pasted them into main space, the article was preserved exactly as I'd written it, no changes, nothing like that, so not only do I not see copy-and-paste as bad thing, I've actually done this on my own articles. I see it as a minor issue. I'm not trying to be difficult, dickish or pointy, I literally don't see it as a big issue. However, because you've mentioned it, I will refrain from copying-and-pasting anything, even if I wrote it myself . KoshVorlon Rassekali ternii i mlechnye puti 15:18, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- The fact is that just blanking a page doesn't achieve anything, even with attack pages and copyvios you leave a tag, and in both of those cases the blanking is largely a legal and protection thing. As for copy and pasting, same thing: attribution is also legal issue, it wouldn't matter if there was only one editor (such as with your sandbox pages) and that editor was doing the copying, but anymore and it becomes a problem, which is why we have the move function, to maintain a page history--Jac16888 Talk 18:13, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Confusion about the removal of the Sean William McLoughlin page.
I was attempting to look into Sean (better known as Jacksepticeye) and saw that you had remove the page. Reason being, there was no evidence of that being a person of importance. Yet when it listed examples of things, it mentioned web as a thing for them to be important on. Sean, known as Jacksepticeye is a major youtuber. Of which Wikipedia has several pages for, examples being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smosh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markiplier and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie . He is certainly one of importance, being one of the fastest growing channels. He currently has 5,290,000 + subscribers And as of now 1,961,443,013 video views, and 1,726 videos posted. As for "proof" here is his channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/jacksepticeye/about it states all the stats I mentioned under the about section. I'd say he qualifies as a person of importance, and if possible the page on him should really be re-added. 50.147.32.39 (talk) 02:42, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Husky

Eh doesn't matter anyway, I discovered that he has a page. It's called "Jacksepticeye" instead of using his birth name. So in the end no big deal.

the "Strulovitz" entry that you deleted
Dear Sir / Madam,
I would like to explain with a few examples please, why I think the "Strulovitz" entry is worthy of mentioning in Wikipedia:
(1) It's 100% FREE and open and volunteer based.
(2) It tackles IMPORTANT issues:
- the most important questions in math (project Ramanujan 2) here is a video explanation (2 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r46H42DhKGY
- all the man-made human extinction risks (project Neo Luddism) as mentioned in Wikipedia's Global Catastrophic Risk! video explanation (2 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIfBJ5pmJ1Y
(3) It's treating the subject in a UNIQUE way:
- the closest thing to Ramanujan 2 is either Chegg (which is closed and commercial) or Khan's Academy (which does not treat advanced subjects, and certainly not this thorough). We solve EVERY exercise in the book! Example:
http://www.ramanujan2.org/course/view.php?id=2
- there are no websites that I were able to find. This is not "let's all live in the forest" website. examples:
http://www.neoluddism.org/?page_id=165 http://www.neoluddism.org/?p=1
it's an organization with the same sole purpose as your organization - contributing to and expanding humanity's knowledge.
Please please re-consider your decision to delete...
Thank you so so much,

A2 deletion: a technicality?
Hi, I was surprised by your A2 deletion of Bakó Árpád. Do you mind if I go over it with you?
At WP:PNT you specified that it was an A2 of the Hungarian Wikipedia. But the article there, hu:Bakó Árpád, is in Hungarian. The article that was posted here was in Romanian. Although it say so as explicitly as this, I interpret A2 to provide for deletion of an article in a language other than English if essentially the same article appears in that language on another Wikipedia, rather than in any non-English language. Do you see it differently? —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:35, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Survey Quality Predictor page
Dear Jac16888,
I would like to know why you considered that the article I created about SQP is for promotion or advertisement. I think it is a relevant entry for the field of survey methodologist who seek information about the quantification of survey questions.
Thank you.

Korean article
Hi there! I just started recently as a new page patroller, and when I came across 야성의_동맹, I originally proposed it for speedy deletion. I then re-read the CSD guidelines, and didn't think to check if it was on the Korean wikipedia. I changed the tag to {{Not English}}. I see that you ended up deleting it under A2. In the future, how can I easily check if an article exists on another language wikipedia (especially if I don't read that language)? Is it as simple as copying and pasting the title into that wikipedia's search bar? What if I don't recognize the language? Thanks! Air ♠ Combat What'sup, dog? 22:57, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hello. There are a few ways, just pasting the title into another Wikipedia's search bar is one way, you could also try a web search on the article title. If you're not sure on the language again google often helps (look at the language prefix of the results e.g. co.uk), alternatively you could try [2], or another thing I do is look at the editors sul page (see mine for example, [3]), it can be found at the bottom of an editors contribution page and it shows the language Wikipedias they've got an account on--Jac16888 Talk 17:51, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Please withdraw or remove the article from deletion!
Again raised to remove the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramil_Garifullin. Earlier in 2014, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ramil_Garifullin thanks to Your help, the article was taken out of removal. And here it is again. Please pay attention to the discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ramil_Garifullin What, in my opinion, involves removal? Here is the arguments :
1. The initiator of removal Fedor Babkin is the assistant Akim Dubrov. That is, there is a tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is a long – standing opponents and have antagonism. A significant portion of the papers and books of Professor, candidate of psychological Sciences of Ramil Garifullin dedicated to drug prevention. Moreover, Ramil Garifullin in the media acutely raised the issue about the dangers of certain articles in Wikipedia dedicated to drugs and psihodelii. On the other hand, Akim Dubrov is the author and translator of books in Russia dedicated to drug substances and an author of articles on psihodelii in Wikipedia. It is likely that the main antagonism between Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is now in the risk of publications on drugs and psihodelii in Wikipedia. 2. Earlier this conflict Akim Dubrov - Ramil Garifullin has been associated with the publication of an article about Garifullina negative article about Snowden. Article about Garifullin on Wikipedia was removed in 2013 on the day of publication in the Russian newspaper article about Snowden. 3. Ramil Garifullina good level of scientific citation http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Ramil Garifullin told me that if would be continued against him as slander in the discussion of Wikipedia, he is libel to sue. 4. Moreover, this identity in the English Wikipedia is seen as a well-known Russian journalist and writer, not as a scientist. Although the number of scientific articles and monographs enough (watch out links http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Therefore it is incorrect to use the same discussion for deletion on the Russian Wikipedia. 5. The Internet is the namesake and namesake, Ramil Garifullina, who is really engaged in pseudoscience and is in jail. It's a different person. Not to be confused! So it looks like slander. 6. Based on this English article was formed a modified Russian text to Russian Wikipedia, which upheld the administrator --be-nt-all Here is his assessment: the Draft looked, the chances of successful recovery are good, although above the neutral still need to be work --the be-nt-all 07:40, November 25, 2015 (UTC). This text was revised and edited based discussions-2013. Here is the translation: 7. But Akim Dubrow was removed for some reason https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Irek_Minnullin Irek Minnullin 22:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) . 8. be-nt-all gave me an assignment to work on the draft is not directly on RS, but on the appropriate subpage: User:Irek Minnullin/Garifullin Ramil, Rosiewicz --be-nt-all16:43, 26 December 2015 (UTC) 9. Ask the participants to carefully examine all links and articles Garifullina and not to succumb to provocations tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Article revised in the light of ancient comments-2013. The article is about a famous essayist and writer. The merit of Ramil Garifullina as a scientist is sufficient. 10. Please withdraw or remove the article from deletion! 11. And think, what are the motives of the authors of the Russian Wikipedia to put the question of removal of articles from the English Wikipedia. 87.117.189.39 (talk) 02:15, 2 January 2016 (UTC)87.117.189.39 (talk) 02:21, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Irek Minnullin (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Good afternoon! First allow me to wish you a joyful, blessed and successful 2016.
I've recently joined WIKIPEDIA with the intentions of publishing information about a radio show, hosted in my country (Dominican Republic), and was very excited with the idea of being able to stamp the story of that show in this site, just so anyone interested could find at the first source people go to get reliable information, which is this site.
Of course I, myself, am one of the many millions of Internet users that rely on this site to gather facts and notes, so being able to post here was a very exciting experience of which I was looking forward to go through.
Saturday my post for "Alarma De La Mañana" was published so the first thing I did was to share the link to the producers and hosts of the said show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Alarma_De_La_Ma%C3%B1ana They did, as well, shared that information on their personal social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) as on the show's official account too. Instantly the regular audience of the show started clicking the link, sharing it and replying to it.
Not only that but, being today the first day of the show [after the publication] the announcement was also made during the show. Again, people started searching for the link and some also made phone calls to the radio station, stating -with joy- that they were proud that "our show was on WIKIPEDIA"...
Until one of the fans, via Twitter, shared the notice posted on the page saying that "No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)" were the reason why the post was taken down. As soon as that information was noticed by the hosts of the show they did the announcement that "we're so insignificant to WIKIPEDIA that they do not believe we're worth being portrayed in their website".
Given the fact that they're far more useless information (not only on WIKIPEDIA, but in the whole Internet) I can't help but to come and, humbly ask you what was the criteria in which you've sustained the reason to take down the post.
I don't mean to disrespect nor to tell you how to do your job, but given the fact that the information was valid, was true, was properly redacted, all facts were real, there were no imaging infringement and the show has being on the air for nearly four years now I find it hard to understand your reasons.
Also, if there's any way that the audience (that now are very displeased with this whole issue) can make a request to have a "Alarma De La Mañana" page posted in WIKIPEDIA, we would appreciate it if you let us know.
Please, do not hesitate to give me any inputs you might think would be helpful for us to bring back the page. I hope you find it in yourself to reconsider putting it back in this site.
Should you request any further information regarding this matter feel free to contact me as often as you consider possible. Yours truly, Karina Navarro-Baez/ Tirana69 KNB T/69— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirana69 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 11 January 2016
- There were multiple issues with the article as it was created. The first and key to it's deletion was it's notability, this was not a judgement of the subject but rather the determining factor for all articles on Wikipedia, they must demonstrate WP:NOTABILITY as the linked page describes, and they must do so through the use of reliable 3rd party references, of which there were none. Secondly the article as clearly written from the point of view of a fan, it was overly promotional and not neutral. Finally, it was not written in English, which is a problem since this is the English language Wikipedia--Jac16888 Talk 00:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Nice comment
very nice comment for Alfa Romeo Avio, your answer doesnt help anybody, so pls avoid ansvering if you dont have anything to say. The page is tagged because its ongoing project, and added for Pages_needing_translation_into_English for reason the template asked for it, and that template is for rough translations, so please dont add any "clever" asnwers in future, thanks. I can ask help if I want, Wikipedia is still "group work" if you know. Your comment makes that rough translation template useless, so pls avoid commenting those in the future, or if you want ask they remove that template. -->Typ932 T·C 12:11, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- The rough translation template is intended to point out that somebody has created a bad article that needs dealing with, its not for somebody to intentionally create a bad article and then leave it for somebody else to fix, PNT is not your personal clean-up crew. Like I said, if you can't do it yourself, WP:TRANSLATION is the proper policy--Jac16888 Talk 17:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Getting Jibanananda Das translated
I agree with your edit summary for this edit to Jibanananda Das, but am troubled by the edit itself. The {{Not English-inline}} template that you removed was being used as directed in its documentation and per WP:NONENG.
Do you agree that it is undesirable to have a hunk of un-translated Bengali in the middle of the article? I can't recall ever seeing such a thing in a featured article about a non-English-writing poet. A translation is always given, and the original language is included only if the translation was by a Wikipedian. A published translation, for example by Joe Winter, would be preferable to one by a Wikipedian. But the text has been sitting untranslated for three years. The purpose of the tag is to galvanize improvement by alerting editors that a change is needed. If not with this tag, how do you propose to accelerate that improvement? --Worldbruce (talk) 01:51, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- The purpose of the tag is to say to WP:PNT, "translate this", this doesn't want to happen in this case, as for us to do that would be WP:OR, since it would be an interpretation and it would be easy to give multiple different ones, that aren't the original intention. If a sourced translation can't be found, then just remove the poem--Jac16888 Talk 13:16, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

- Because it was badly written, badly translated, badly sourced, and of zero value as an article in it's current state. Unless you're willing and able to create a decent article there, it can't stay--Jac16888 Talk 18:19, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Digital Atlas of Costa Rica - Please Restore
The project to create the Digital Atlas of Costa Rica, whose last version was coordinated by Dr. Edgar Ortiz-Malavasi, is a project that has been developed at TEC (Costa Rica Institute of Technology). There are 4 versions, 2000, 20040, 2008 and finally 2014.
The 2014 version has 120 layers, in .shp format and the coordinate system used is CRTM05. Some of the layers include "geo-spatial elevation, geology, life zones, rivers, vegetation coverage of diferente years, biotic zones, earthquakes, temperature, precipitation, soil type, as well as political and administrative divisions of provinces, cantons, as well as districts with its perspective census data, human development index, health, presidential election results for diferente years and rounds, etc"[1]
You can buy this atlas at the TEC bookstore.
You indicated the following: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events))
Individuals: Dr. Edgar Ortiz-Malavasi Organization: Costa Rica Institute of Technology Importance: This is a database of Geographic Information Systems that can be used as a base for map making, this is mentioned when i speak of the 120 layers, the coordinate system used so the database can be used correctly and the available layers. I want to add this for educational use. Web Content: I link the article to the press conference so that people can see where i found my information. Litlplastkastl (talk) 14:41, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- ^ "atlas digital de costa rica esta disponible al publico". Revista Tec. Retrieved 19 April 2016.
- None of this gives any indication of importance, which must be shown through the use of reliable 3rd party references--Jac16888 Talk 16:25, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
I will add the following to indicate importance:
The importance of this information in a country like Costa Rica are the following: - It unifies databases allowing analysis of not only geographic characteristics but also information on the population. - It is the only source of information that can be used as a base of a map by opening a layer on a geographic information system (GIS). - It is the only database of information based on the Institute of National Geography (IGN) maps. - It serves as a base showing how the new coordinate system should be used (CRTM05).
These layers can serve as the basis for creating new updated geographic information. Many of the maps created by the IGN are from the seventies, the use of this type of information can lead to improved land management, facilitate decision making when it comes to development and it can also improve decision making if there were ever an emergency.

Aegean College CSD
Hi, Today you CSD'd the article Aegean College, created by new user user:Alexander imp. However, you failed to put the appropriate template on the user's talk page. I had made contact with the user, requesting they provide a translation for the Greek article language, and added it to WP:PNT. This request now looks a little daft on their talk page, should they return to view it.
I'm sure this was just an oversight on your part, but in my opinion it's always good to give new users that little bit more leeway to try and turn them into good editors. I hope you agree. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 20:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

`==Pelicula== Isabel Londoño López Hello my name is Isabel Londoño i work for a cervantes institute in Manila philippines and im trying to organice the article about the Pélicula international film festival, wich happens since 15 years ago and is a big cultural referent in the history of Manila and hispanic countries. I have been trying during the complete week to make the article better, but wikipedia editor always erase my job. I am not promoting a new event, im just adding the past awar films and making better the grammar. Always adding the link to each movie that has a wikipedia page also.
The same problem with the pictures. I really dont know what to do, my boss who is the director of the festival is counting with me to have the wikipedia page ready and with the correct and new information on it. SO, please can do you help me about it? what im doing wrong and how can i do in order to fix the information and make my job?. Im very grateful about your help.
As i told you, Película film festival happend for 15 years and is part of the culture in manila, many people research for it.
The page that i was trying to do were 2: Película film festival in english and Festival de cine Película en español.
Thank you so much for your help. Isabel Londoño — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isabellondoo200 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Isabellondoo200:, please read WP:COI and WP:PROMO. It is me who keeps removing the content, because what you are adding you are doing in a highly promotional. If you are not able to add, neutral and very importantly sourced content, then you can't at all. In addition using misleading edit summaries such as "gramar correction" when you are actually adding a significant amount of new content is likely to lead to you being blocked from editing altogether--Jac16888</> Talk 17:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello llJac16888 ok, thank you so much for the informati. i apologizase if i keep writing to you but i really want to do the article with the correct way for wikipedia and adding the right information about the Pelìcula Film Festival . I just want to contribute to the text because the festival is very important for many people and the information there inside the Wikipedia article goes until 2011 so there is information about the last years version of the festival that still need to add in the Wikipedia web.
I mean is not about promoting the festival, is making it more complete about wich movies won the awars during this years and wich one were present to the public, organcing the description also.
The article doesnt have any picture yet about what happened there and i have jorunalist pictures that shows the festival, so i want to ask you i fis posible to add it.
In the other hand the title of the article needs to be complete because is called just Película and is “Película: spanish film festival”.
I read the articles that you told me and i did some of your advice, for example i look for similar examples as the sitgest festival and cannes festival in order to have a good referent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannes_Film_Festival
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_de_Cine_de_Sitges
i keep question myself about wich is the diferent betwen those and Película festival, because the article that im trying to purpose is full on information as a history of the festival, films and winners. I will aprecciate a lot if you give an advice about it and thank you again for your help. I wont move the articles untill you know that my intención are just to complete the information tha is not there and dont want to promote or make look better someone, is just to make it actual acoording with the last years festival.
If is ok with you i can just make small changes every day and making sure you are agrre with each one. :) Hope you can understand my text and my solicitud. Have a good day
- Because of your conflict of interest, you're better off not editing the article directly, instead I suggest you suggest edits on the talk page and use the WP:EDITREQ template to request other editors review and implement your changes --Jac16888 Talk 17:10, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Request for translation deleted: US support to Nazis
Hi Jac16888. Just for my own edification, where/ what in Wikipedia:Translation is the rationale on which you based this deletion? These guideline pages can often be vague or unclear or contain a number of elements all of which are applicable, without it being clear which one is being referred to, unless there is a direct reference to a specific section. I and four other editors received direct requests from this user (from a different IP address) on our talk pages asking to translate said article. Personally I would not (will not) translate anything for anyone who feels so strongly about something, but (not strong enough to create an account) prefers to hide behind an IP address. I know that IP addresses are prefectly legitimate, but I treat such editors with circumspection when they demonstrate a strong interest in a topic that does not present a direct threat to themselves. I do know of IP editors who edit so little — and uncontentious material — that they do not see the need to register, and I don't have a problem helping those. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:36, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Because WP:PNT is not a translation project it is an article crisis centre. It it not a place for people to request translations from other language Wikipedia, it is a place for handling already created articles that are in another language. Wikipedia:Translation details the procedure for requesting another editor translate a page from another Wikipedia--Jac16888 Talk 19:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection
Hello, Jac16888. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
- Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
- A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

- You cannot copy and paste content from another website. You also need to write articles in English, as this is the English language Wikipedia--Jac16888 Talk 16:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
While creating a new topic (still in Draft form) I discovered that Posepny's profile was included in the Czech page but amazingly, given his impact on American economic geology, not in English. I couldn't figure out how to "link" his name to the Czech page, so I did a quick translate-copy-paste. Sorry, I am new to this! If you can tell me how to link to the Czech page, we can delete the English version. Or I can clean up the English translation, but I don't want to spend too much time on it.

OverZealous Deletion
Your efforts in the main are great and to be commended however, there do seem to be a lot of overzealous deletions. Wouldn't it be better for all if when you see something that you think should be deleted that you first try to improve it rather than delete. There isn't even time to research and further improve when you delete so zealously. [4] 109.202.157.159 (talk) 15:55, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Perhaps it would be better if you actually read about how things work before editing. If you read WP:LISTPEOPLE to understand the type of page, you will find that in order for something to be listed it must either a) have an article or b) have a reliable 3rd party reference. So for example, the bus company you have added (albeit incorrectly by not giving the actual name) does not belong. A random non notable person (would I be wrong in guessing that either the person or the company are connected to you? seems likely) with a link to userpage does not, nor does a company with only a link to their own website. Please revert your additions, or I will do so--Jac16888 Talk 21:24, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Actually I've just removed it, you're obviously trying to use the page to promote yourself and your company. Restore it again and you will be reported--Jac16888 Talk 21:35, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
There seem to be some crossed wires here and I am confused ? I added lots of stuff to the page and I think that the items that you refer to were done by other users such as Magioladitis which I attempted to improve as didn't think they where correctly listed albeit relevant. I was asking you to help rather than just remove.
I only knew about the name and was interested in clans so was attempting to improve. My intent was also to update those pages too but to be honest can't be bothered now given this experience. If you know about the rules which it sounds like you do then I would ask you to assist by for example creating missing pages such as for Patrick which I think merits and others; editing the list items to make them correct rather than removing. Its better that someone like you does these things as I don't understand the issues as I was going by this [Notability] . Regarding the bus company it was made without the link to site to avoid promotion as doesn't have an article page but could cite. If you think its better to link to their site or to a page which doesn't exist I have no issue with that but I don't think they meet requirements for page creation - you know better than me. 109.202.157.153 (talk) 14:54, 13 October 2016 (UTC) I just realised you deleted all the name info and clan info too ! what do you mean policy violation of original research - It was absolutely not and data was contained on the links to the WP clan pages. If you wanted more citations why didn't you ask? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.202.157.153 (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- Several times you have restored links (to a person and to their company) which were not appropriate. The issue is that a list article is not meant to list every single instance of a thing - could you imagine what that could end up like? Imagine a page about Smith? Things are only included on lists if they are notable, either they have an article or there are reliable 3rd party references that could suggest they warrant one. As for the clan info, because you didn't reference any of the info, there is no way to WP:VERIFY it, making it unsuitable--Jac16888 Talk 16:29, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
No I keep trying to revert your changes because they have errors. You seem to be focused on a specific person and company which I only edited as part of my other edits to make the info more correct (And by the way are appropriate although do require more info).
The page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anthroponymy and I do not agree with your explanation of List article or notability; Notability_guidelines_do_not_apply_to_content_within_an_article.
You are hindering incremental improvement by removing everything and actually putting in more errors instead of editing and improving ! In your most recent edits you removed dates and changed the text however by removing the dates and only using present tense you made it so it was impossible to tell if the person was alive or dead. There are other errors such as consistency in that some now have prepositions whilst some don't, you left behind a bracket ), A verus an...
Regarding the name box, name origin and clan info etc there was no need to remove. If you thought a citation was required you should have requested rather than delete everything. And in my understanding there was no requirement to verify as in this case the links to the WP clan pages were provided where data can be confirmed. 109.202.157.153 (talk) 17:40, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- You are ignoring everything I say. First of all, listing the person and the company are not appropriate, and I have no further way of trying to make you understand that since you just don't get it. Likewise, the dates do not belong either. The entire purpose of this article is to refer you to somewhere else. So that if somebody searches for McKendry they will find links to the various people with that name. That is it, it not the purpose of this page to give any other information. Those links will have the information, in their own individual pages. If you want to turn this into an article about the name itself (which currently it is not) then yes you absolutely need references and another Wikipedia page does not constitute one.--Jac16888 Talk 18:25, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
I am not ignoring what you say however I am requesting you not to delete all but rather fix errors / improve. I noticed that whilst not mentioned above that you did remove the errors that you created so thanks. 109.202.157.146 (talk) 15:38, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Farewell of Slavianka
re:your edit - the anon refers to a quite popular morose version of the lyrics of the song. The lyrics goes, eg.: You don't cry and don't shout, you are not a baby. You are not wounded, you are simply killed. I will take your warm valenki, I have to wait for a rescue squad." See Ion Lazarevich Degen, and I added this into Slavianka article. The phrase you reverted is a folklore add-on, sung during the orchestra intro. - üser:Altenmann >t 06:28, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
