Our similar feelings towards Adam Sandler

Hello, I feel that your undoing of my work on the Jack and Jill page was completely unjustified, I had ressons for adding my art to the aforementioned page.

Firstly, I do not like Adam Sandler, he is a disgrace to the movie industry. Many people seem to like him and adore his films, I felt the need to spread my views about him, allowing people that do like him to see another perspective.

Mr Sandler himself will not likely see my changes, unless he reads his own Wikipedia pages regularly, but that is unlikely, therefore, he hasn't seen my additions. This is just a way for me to share views that aren't malicious towards Sandler himself. I haven't gone out of my way to make anyone, Sandler or otherwise, feel hurt by what I have done.

The internet is a place for many people to come together and express their views, share opinions and enjoy the work of others. You may say that a website like this is no place for personal opinions, yet what constitutes a 'good' or 'bad' film or actor, is entirely subjective, therefore, there is no way that anything can be definitely defined as either.

I hope to hear a response from your concerning the above.

Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.68.116 (talk) 21:18, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I don't actually like Adam Sandler's work either, but what I think, and what you think, are not what Wikipedia is for. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and the statements in it should be based on statements made in reliable secondary sources. Our quite-similar views that Sandler is terrible have no place in the articles here, sitting around adding such nonsense to articles is inappropriate.

I hope this clarifies your confusion about (1) my view of Sandler, which is again *more or less the same as yours*, and (2) Wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia, not an outlet for shitposting. Have a great day! --joe decker^talk 21:25, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I am actually really glad that you dislike Adam Sandler too, I agree that an encyclopaedia is no place for personal opinion, yet if that argument will be used it could be said that Mr Sanlder himself shouldn't qualify for a page in said encyclopaedia. My 'shitposting' as you put it, did make people smile. It is humourous to click on random linked words and end up on a random actor's page, or click on his name and end up with the President. The aim of my changes was to make people laugh, wich I hope it did.

Art is made to move and intrigue, I hope to put the art in article.

if it helps, I laughed.  :) I end up cleaning up a lot of stuff like that (and sometimes much worse), but very very occasionally something still warrants a giggle here. Cheers, --joe decker^talk 21:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, I hope more people viewed it before you and enjoyed it, but if it made one person laugh, I feel I've done my job.

One day though, Adam Sandler will be brought down, one Wikipedia page at a time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.68.116 (talk) 22:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, just know that if you keep it up, you will be blocked from editing. But feel free to carry on your Sandler campaign elsewhere. Peace out. --joe decker^talk 22:50, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I've added several independent sources, most other the sources are on social media and have been omitted due to guidelines.

Thanks, resubmit the article if you haven't already, and another reviewer should be along shortly! --joe decker^talk 19:19, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Joe's Null Bot

Hi! Would it be possible for you to run the task for purging the main page on the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia's main page as well? I've lately gotten a few complaints that the main page is off by a day or two, which looks pretty unprofessional. No bot approval would be needed for this task on nowiki. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:50, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

@Jon Harald Søby:: Hi! Yes, it would be very easy. I will try and take a look at that tomorrow, and will ping you again when I do. --joe decker^talk 17:00, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks! I don't know how often it runs here (the task said every 15 minutes, but that might be old info?), but it's not really necessary to do it that often for us. I think once a day would be enough, if you do it more often that's fine too. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 08:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

@Jon Harald Søby: I've taken your word that I won't need approval (I'm sure you're right, given your 'crat permissions at NOWIKI), and have set it up to run it hourly, at two minutes past the hour. In particular, it's attempting a purge on Portal:Forside at that time. If you could keep an eye out to see if it's working, I'd appreciate it, it's just a bit too easy for this code to quietly fail if I've typo'd something.  :) --joe decker^talk 20:37, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Sweet! I'll keep an eye out in the next several days, since the problem this solves isn't exactly reproducible at a whim… And thanks again! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 21:46, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

My pleasure! Cheers, --joe decker^talk 22:01, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Photo removed

Hi!

I’m sorry I can’t seem to understand the reason my photo has been removed from my wiki page. I am new to this how can I guarantee my photo remains? You mentioned something about it not being free? Could you further explain please!

Thanks -- Widad shafakoj (talk) 02:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but copyright is a common issue. The folks at Wikipedia Commons, where the image was, removed it with the less than helpful message suggesting the issue might be copyright. The editor who performed the deletion can be reached at this link: [1], I would leave a note there. --joe decker^talk 02:37, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
