WP:GAMING

Please see this page. Thank you. TheSpiciestNugget (talk) 18:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheSpiciestNugget: Excuse me, I was unaware of this rule. I promise to be more careful and study every existing rule here! JackkBrown (talk) 21:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Picture captions

Hi, full stops should not be removed when the image captions are full sentences (like here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ricky_Martin&diff=1127956164&oldid=1127950522 ), only if they are fragments, see MOS:CAPFRAGS --FMSky (talk) 07:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A reminder since this is still going on. TylerBurden (talk) 21:06, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TylerBurden: I'm sorry, but, as per the rules, my changes are correct; for example, "Historical coat of arms of Götaland" is by no means a complete sentence, you cannot say the opposite. JackkBrown (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That some of them are correct doesn't change the fact that many of them are not. TylerBurden (talk) 00:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For example, you are removing many periods from full sentences. TylerBurden (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TylerBurden: Where have I removed points from complete sentences? JackkBrown (talk) 00:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't seem correct to me for one. TylerBurden (talk) 00:57, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It also seems you are making edits while logged out, since I doubt this was not you. It is recommended that if you have an account, you should stay logged in when editing so as to avoid WP:SOCKPUPPET issues. I noticed you still haven't responded to this, so I am guessing you realized you were wrong. Maybe your intentions are good but you need to pay more attention to what you are doing, because the mistakes are plentiful. TylerBurden (talk) 22:11, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I only made one change from logged out, because I forgot to log in, but I only have this account and I always operate with it. JackkBrown (talk) 22:24, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's good then, it can happen. Like I said I don't doubt your intentions to make MOS changes are good, they just need to be more consistent. TylerBurden (talk) 22:40, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will check all my past edits to make sure they are all correct and there were no errors (I have checked before); clearly it will take time to check 1 544 edits. I think I only made a mistake that day (and the modification of the removal of the comma), and, fortunately, you corrected that edit; however, I check my older edits from time to time. Good work and thank you very much! JackkBrown (talk) 22:53, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to check everything, if you made other mistakes they will most likely be fixed down the line anyway. Good luck for the future! TylerBurden (talk) 22:58, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cologne, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ESL One Cologne. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear bot, in this case the link to the disambiguation page I added is correct and very useful. JackkBrown (talk) 12:48, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid watchlist clutter

Hi. Please avoid edits like this one and this one that solely consist of whitespace changes and other changes that aren't visible to the reader. Changes of this kind needlessly clutter up other editors' watchlists. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 21:48, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On a similar note, I struggle to identify what exactly the "Numerous corrections" in this diff were? – Recoil16 (talk) 22:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And what is this change about? Please stop these pointless changes. They're disruptive. Robby.is.on (talk) 00:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Robby.is.on: these are useless changes, not destructive; uselessness is not destructive, it's simply neutral. Before you come and write on my discussion page, learn to use words properly, thank you. JackkBrown (talk) 16:09, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote "disruptive", not "destructive". See WP:Disruptive editing. The useless changes are disruptive because they clutter up people's watchlists which wastes time. See WP:COSMETICBOT. Robby.is.on (talk) 16:47, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Robby.is.on: sorry, I had read "destructive" earlier; damn English 😂. JackkBrown (talk) 17:47, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I'm not accusing you of any malice. Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 18:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

Information icon Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Roberto Vannacci to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages needing translation into English, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you. shelovesneo (talk) 11:43, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Roberto Vannacci

Hello, JackkBrown, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Shelovesneo, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Roberto Vannacci, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roberto Vannacci.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Shelovesneo}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

United States

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your recent edits, such as those to United States, appear to be intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally unpopular way, are highly disruptive and can lead to a block or ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Your issues with the Italy article have nothing to do with the article on United States. You should address your concerns on Talk:Italy or contact the editor adding the tag, not disrupt other articles. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Locke Cole: as requested, I have written (and tagged) you within the discussion pages of both pages. Thanks in advance. JackkBrown (talk) 20:37, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Don't do that. Just stop being disruptive and use the talk page at Talk:Italy to address the concerns of editors who think that article is too long. —Locke Cole • t • c 03:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MEATBOT

Please do not make robotic trivial changes to code style that serve no functional purpose for either readers or editors, like this. It just pings lots of people's watchlists for no practical reason. It's fine to make trivial consistency changes like that as part of a more substantive edit, like fixing an actual typographical error or adding missing parameters to a citation or normalizing the dates in an article to a single format. Something that actually has an impact on the output quality for the reader.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SMcCandlish: constructive criticism improves my work, and this is one of them, but it is undeniable that all those (including you) who have posted notices on my discussion page are so focused on my (very few) inaccuracies that all my positive and useful contributions take a back seat; for example, I have corrected tens of thousands of captions, making many pages in this encyclopaedia more correct, more aesthetically pleasing, and, as a direct consequence, visitors' trust in the encyclopaedia has, without a doubt, increased (sorry if that's not enough...). JackkBrown (talk) 13:40, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop this, like how you recently did here. Your other edits are a great contribution, but these whitespace/capitalisation changes can be a problem for other editors. We look through and check every change in our watchlists, and seeing WP:MEATBOT changes is a slight waste of time for us. Thank you. —Panamitsu (talk) 05:06, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if it seems like a tsunami of criticism! Editing WP is largely a thankless task, it's true. Thanks for putting in the cleanup work. Tens of thousands? That sounds worthy of note:

QM in diffraction

Diffraction is not one of the subtopics of the Quantum Mechanics template. I therefore think that template either should be removed from the diffraction page, or you need to suggest adding it on the relevant template talk page. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ldm1954: I didn't insert the aforementioned template, I merely put the templates in order. JackkBrown (talk) 17:28, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning: Cosmetic edits

Hi, JackkBrown. I really don't like blocking people for silly things, but I also don't like when people keep doing things they've been told not to. So for the last time, please stop making edits that don't affect the parsed output of the page. For clarity's sake, this includes:

  • Changes to the capitalization of a template's first letter ({{Main}} and {{main}} have the same effect, for instance [1])
  • Moving around templates that don't display and are not in violation of MOS:ORDER (such as removing {{pp-move}} [2])
  • Adding whitespace that is ignored by the parser [3]

I appreciate your other copy-edits, and I want to be clear that it's okay to make these kinds of changes as part of larger edits. But there is a longstanding community consensus that cosmetic-only edits, when made in significant number, are disruptive. And that's most of what you've been doing lately. You've already been warned by very experienced copy-editors and technical editors such as Robby.is.on and SMcCandlish, so you shouldn't need to hear this from an admin as well, but if that's what makes the difference, then understand that I am warning you here as an admin, and that the next step is a block from editing. And, again, this would be a really silly thing to get blocked for. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|she) 21:36, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: ok, from now on I will no longer make unnecessary purely cosmetic changes, unless, as you said, they are part of larger changes, such as those made on the "Group theory" page. JackkBrown (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jack, I came to this talkpage to ask what the point of this edit was, and I see you have already been given a final warning for doing exactly this. Here is another example in an article on my watchlist.
Stop doing this. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 22:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tamzin, this editor may need a wikibreak. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Caeciliusinhorto: so removing unnecessary spaces is a meaningless change? Fine, then why don't you fill articles with unnecessary spaces that only weigh down the page? You're complaining about unnecessary things and you're getting on the wrong side of the argument. However, you are right about the "Portal" edit. JackkBrown (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The spaces don't weigh down the page. The parser ignores them entirely. The resulting HTML document is the exact same size with or without those spaces. Given that I said above not to add whitespace for that exact reason, surely you could tell the same would apply to removing whitespace? Like I said before, this feels like a stupid thing to block someone before, but it keeps happening, and I really don't appreciate the combative tone you're taking when more experienced users (five now, or six if one considers me experienced) tell you that you're doing it wrong. If you're not understanding the problem, you should be asking questions of the people who warn you, not arguing with them. I'm going to block you for a short period of time to underscore the importance of collaboration in this regard. I'm hoping this can be the end of this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|she) 22:21, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tamzin: I apologise and I am sorry for what happened in the past, I will work very hard to never make such mistakes again. JackkBrown (talk) 23:04, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:NOPIPE, WP:NOTBROKEN

Hi,

I noticed your recent sequence of edits at "Feltre" added a number of unnecessary "piped" links. The Manual of Style at MOS:LINK generally recommends against using "piped" links unnecessarily, and specifically recommends against replacing redirects with pipes (see WP:NOTBROKEN). Please have a look at MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOPIPE as well.

November 2023

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! MrFlyingPies23 (talk) 20:53, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Maliner (talk) 13:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm sorry what did I do wrong and on what edit?? Thanks. 🏴MrFlyingPies23✉(✍)🏳️ 21:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Maliner (talk) 13:44, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Preview, consolidate, summarize

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

  • Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
    • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
  • Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 19:44, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:NOPIPE, WP:NOTBROKEN

Hi,

I noticed your recent sequence of edits at "Christopher Soghoian" added a number of unnecessary "piped" links. The Manual of Style at MOS:LINK generally recommends against using "piped" links unnecessarily, and specifically recommends against replacing redirects with pipes, for example, replacing [[FBI]] with [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] or [[Department of Homeland Security]] with [[United States Department of Homeland Security|Department of Homeland Security]] (see WP:NOTBROKEN). Please have a look at MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOPIPE as well.

MOS:NOPIPE, WP:NOTBROKEN

Hi,

Again, please note the guidance at MOS:LINK about using piped links in place of redirects, specifically WP:NOTBROKEN, MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOPIPE. Many of the changes you made in these recent edits are directly opposed to those recommendations. In just a few paragraphs you made these changes:


[[seasonings]] → [[Seasoning|seasonings]]

[[cheesemaker]]s → [[Cheesemaking|cheesemakers]]

[[citrus fruit]] → [[Citrus|citrus fruit]]

[[durum wheat]] → [[Durum|durum wheat]]

[[salt cod]] → [[Dried and salted cod|salt cod]]

[[parboiled]] → [[Parboiling|parboiled]]


and there are many, many more examples.

I'm largely in favour of the changes you're making to capitalisation and italics in many articles on Italian food, but please take a moment to read the guidelines I linked above.

Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 20:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jean-de-Nivelle: yes, that is true, but consider that I really do make a lot of changes, and it is very difficult for all of them (most of them are to be in line with the aesthetic regulation, I think a good 90%) to be in line with the aesthetic regulation. JackkBrown (talk) 21:07, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While those changes are invisible in the rendered text, I disagree that they're aesthetic. But why change those links at all? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 21:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle: I edited the whole page, correcting many errors and imprecisions, and not just the (unnecessary) things, which were in any case together with other changes (e.g., I edited the wikilinks, but in the same modification I took care of the uppercase, lowercase, italics, quotation marks, plural form, etc.), to which you refer. JackkBrown (talk) 21:19, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that. But you're making an effort to change links in a way that's contrary to the guidelines I pointed out, and I wonder why you're doing so. Those aren't unnecessary corrections - they're miscorrections. MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN tell you not to make those changes. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 21:27, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle: I understand, I'm not going to do that either. I'll tell you one thing: I will study all the rules well. JackkBrown (talk) 21:30, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin I think competency is required here. I think this user is lacking it now. Any permanent solution for this? Maliner (talk) 09:39, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Maliner: I am not competence in some things, but I would like to point out that, thanks to me, the English language Wikipedia has become much more accurate than before (I have corrected countless erroneous dashes and quotation marks, added countless missing commas, made many pages italicised (when it's correct to do so, of course), improved numerous sentences, corrected countless captions, corrected countless punctuation, and much more). Don't discredit my work, thank you. Have a good day. JackkBrown (talk) 14:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that difficult. Just don't make links more complicated than they need to be.

Here are some changes you made at "Capsicum annuum":

[[bird pepper]]checkY → [[Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum|bird pepper]]☒N

[[U.S. National Arboretum]]checkY → [[United States National Arboretum|U.S. National Arboretum]]☒N

WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN say don't do that! Keep links short and simple. Redirects are fine. I'd like to know: are you using software that encourages you to make those changes? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 17:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point"

JackkBrown,

You've made a series of edits ([4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14]) changing the style of section headings in a number of articles to a format that you claim not to prefer, with the justification that another user prefers it like that. This looks a lot like WP:POINT: editors engaging in "POINTy" behavior are making edits with which they do not actually agree, for the deliberate purpose of drawing attention and provoking opposition in the hopes of making other editors see their "point".

Here you were pointed to a recent RfC on the subject of capitalisation in titles, with the advice: "as long as the usage in a particular article is consistent, it's probably best not to go around changing these." That looks like good advice to me.

Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 14:53, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jean-de-Nivelle: no, no attention-seeking, I simply completed the work that the user in question has done on other pages. JackkBrown (talk) 14:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I had a quick look through his edit history and didn't spot examples other than "Coldplay". But given that you say you disagree with his position, and given that there's no strong reason to favour a particular style, why are you imposing all these changes? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 15:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle: yes, I was referring to that page. JackkBrown (talk) 15:17, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Or how about these two edits at "Taylor Swift" that pretend to be link fixes (the first violates WP:NOTBROKEN and the second maybe MOS:DL) but are actually changing the style of section headings from upper to lower case? If you want to change the heading style, why aren't you being open about it? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 16:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle: please read the description of my user page, where I clearly wrote that "...sometimes it can happen that within the descriptions of my edits I don't specify all the changes I make; the reason for this is that I don't pay much attention to the descriptions of my edits, because the change is, objectively, much more important than its description...". JackkBrown (talk) 16:08, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've read that. It's a bit like saying, "I don't intend to follow the guidelines", and then when it's pointed out that you're not following the guidelines, saying, "I told you I didn't intend to follow the guidelines". Here's a suggestion: if you really want to change the heading style on a page, make it clear in your edit summary that that's what you're doing. If someone reverts your edit, discuss the issue. Don't go changing a dozen pages to discredit the person who disagreed with you. Don't sneak changes under the radar. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 16:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
