FYI

Hi, regarding some changes made to Bebe Rexha article. Recently some of her true information were changed incorrectly. First the youtube video's name is: "Bebe Rexha talking about being Albanian and songwriting (Ebro Darden Interview)"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S96rcOmHgcM not "being Serbian" ( "Serbian" was certainly added by a Serb just to piss off Albanians...it happens always), second, Bebe Rexha is from Albanian descent and talks about it in every interview, she never considers herself just American, that why adding Albanian descent is important. Third, the 2 links provided as sources about her parents descent are in contradiction with each other, one said both her parents are from Dibra and one other said one from Dibra and the other from Gostivar... that's why I added a new link who supports the info that both her parents are from Diber in Albania. The new link is a video of Bebe's visit and concert in Tirana, Albania, when she says that both her parents are from Diber in Albania and that she's proud to be Albanian (shqiptare).

Thanks.

Dear Jim,

Thanks for the tip. Indeed, I am new to the wikipedia edit and wasn't fully tuned into the edit protocol and didn't elaborate on the reasons for my edit. Kindly note that ALL my edits are legitimate ones today and were meant to be reflected. I'll revert to the article in question and add reasons for each of edit for clarity.

Hi Jim1138, the content removal was not erroneous in nature and I had previously described why the content was removed in the summary but had to open a new tab because the article was edited as I was making the corrections. The information removed was either redundant in nature or outright false and lacked proper citation.

Sagamore of the Wabash citation

My friend and I just received our awards tonight at a surprise meeting so there isn't anything to source other than we have our awards. When it is published in a newspaper, would that be appropriate as a source to link? If I sound like I have no clue, I don't, this was a total surprise honor and putting our names on the official Wiki page makes it even better as we never would have imagined we would receive this award.

Toombul District Cricket Club

Hi Jim, My recent edit to the Toombul District Cricket Club page doesn't need a citation or reference because I'm on the executive committee at Toombul, and the information I updated doesn't have a publicly available reference to be linked to. Also, I deleted the club song section because we discussed it as a committee and decided we don't want the lyrics publicly available.

unconstructive edit

I made those changes because the content was subjective, possibly misrepresentative, or unsourced.

My change

I agree that the subject was well researched and highly accurate. My goal wasn't to paint a rosy picture of the university, but to simply be fair to it. Many other universities have had similar issues and don't have their own dedicated sections for it on Wikipedia. I assure you my intentions are not to vandalize or hide anything from the public. I just found this information to be a little unnecessary on a main university page. Even if I can't make this change, I appreciate your dedication to keeping this website as accurate as possible. Garywalker (talk) 06:11, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

@Garywalker: I have seen a number of university articles on Wikipedia with similar issues.

January 2017

Hi, Jim1138. I saw you left me a message on my talk page that my contribution did not appear constructive. It is highly controversial if Megalia is actually promoting women rights or not, as the site is based on radical feminism and most of the users are expressing misandry. To make sure that the site is based on radical feminism would more neutrally and also clearly explain about this website. Therefore, the fact that Megalia is website which is born from and pursuing radical feminism is more important than you think, as this fact distinguishes the site with normal feminism activists' website.

I'll revert it again. Thanks. Thatpower —Preceding undated comment added 13:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

@Thatpower: Regarding Megalia, there seems to be much on misandry and male genital mutilation in the article. Yet, when I looked at it using a rather poor Google translation, there does not seem to be much at all on these topics. That would suggest that much of the article is wp:UNDUE and should be removed. The Wikipedia article should reflect on what is going on on the website, not what their detractors want. Would you agree that most of the content of Megalia is not about mutilation of men's genitals or how to damage or destroy men? For instance, if most of the subject matter is about getting equal rights, then it might more appropriately be classified as a feminist website. Just curious.

Someone not knowing how to buy toilet paper may not be a notable event on the actual event, but as someone who insist they understand fully the conditions of the working and poor population of her city - whilst demonstrating that she did not know how to buy a train ticket or buy toilet paper is an issue.

To Jim

抹大拉馬利亞，是作蠱作法族群。 在二千年前，在 古墓 及 家中 使用一種黑色類似潛意識前驅物的魔法， 對 約書亞・本・約瑟夫行惡事。 Magdalene was a witchcraft and superstitious practices ethnic group. Two thousand year ago, they did evil to Yeshua ben Joseph with a kind of dark magic of subconscious precursor alike.

聖經在古墓的經文： Scripture on tombstone in Bible:

耶穌問她：「婦人，你為甚麼哭呢？你在找誰？」 這句話，彷彿不認識她，實則因為耶穌警覺到了她的舉動。 但後來還是不查她的犯罪舉動。因為神國的 神 不認為她的作蠱行為舉動會有什麼影響力，因此覺得沒有什麼。

Jesus asked her, “Miss, why are you crying? Whom are you looking for?” It seemed like Jesus did not know her, but in fact, her action aroused his vigilance. Still no criminal behaviors were found later, since God in Kingdom took her witchcraft action as a matter of slight consequence.

後來持續不查的原因，是因為她將該類似潛意識前驅物的黑魔，放置在相關人及天空存有的身上，並讓他們不知道這件事。

The reason why they did not investigate the event was that she hid the truth she had done this dark magic on relative individuals and space beings without realizing it.

2014 年8 月，她對我行作法作蠱之事，儘管我並不認識她。

In August 2014, she did witchcraft to Ching Yueh Tsai though she did not know her.

2015 年，2016年，以及之前，她將黑魔法放置在人類身上，使用我被她作蠱作法所盜取的身體能量體，控制人類身體及天空存有靈魂體，編造製造假故事假消息。甚至一度改寫了google 相關文字及聖經內容。

In 2015, 2016 and before, she did dark magic on human beings and took my body as intermediary to control human bodies and soul of space beings and fudged false stories or wrong information. Besides, she rewrote texts and contents available on Google and even on Bible ONCE.

在二千年後的今天，其作蠱作法已擴及整個天空，因為使用黑魔做法，就是傷害天父的身體，導致天父身體嚴重受損。

Today, after two thousand years, the witchcraft is extended to the whole sky and does harm to Heavenly Father’s body badly.

因為這樣的前驅物不為人所識，是來自上界神國具有神力，但先前不為人所知。 若非她真的傷害了人類存有並真實操控人類存有，實在很難讓人相信這樣的人存在。

This kind of precursor is unknown previous. It will be difficult to convince people that there is such a bad person exist unless she did hurt human beings practically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irene Tsai (talk • contribs) 06:18, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit to Dr. Abdulqadir as sufi's page

@Jim1138: Hello Jim,

I made note that the edited information on Dr. Abdalqadir As-sufi's page was removed because it did not have even one viable citation, the references were non-existent and therefore Wikipedia does not have substantial evidence to make such claims. I hope this helps.

99.173.49.146 (talk) 03:02, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

First, the articles are still there, just under a different URL. I replaced the URLs with the new one in Abdalqadir as-Sufi. Second, even if they were permenently gone, WP:KDL (keep dead links) applies. The links were added about 2013, plenty of time to verify they were valid. So, removal would not be valid under the references begin 404. Please try to repair wp:linkrot next time rather than simply deleting? Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 05:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Sikhism and Sikh Names (articles)

Hi! I'm so sorry, I've only just received the message that my edits from last year on the Sikhism page are technically vandalism since I didn't cite my sources. For that particular page, I believe I only changed the section about vegetarianism, where it was incorrectly stated that Sikhs eat "halal" despite the religion only allowing full vegetarianism. Unfortunately, I just edited another article on "Sikh Names" before I noticed this message, where I had clarified the naming process, as well as pointing out the cultural and religious differences on the issue.

As for my credentials, I studied verses and hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib for 6 years.

I'm genuinely terribly sorry, I didn't mean to change anything that I wasn't supposed to and I only meant to clarify certain sections of the article. If you need to re-edit anything that I added, I completely understand that you are within rights to.

I apologize for any concerns this might have caused you,

Sikhism (article)

Sorry, just to clarify again now that I've had the chance to look over the article. All the issues I have are in the "Prohibitions in Sikhism" section.

1) Nihangs don't ever use cannabis. Sikhism prohibits the use of drugs or "nashians" according to the Rehet Maryada. Despite being a more natural drug, I've never heard of a single Nihang that uses cannabis (we're progressive, but not that progressive).

2) "Puja" refers to the Hindu service for marriage; the Sikh official term for this is "Anand Karaj" which relates to the union of a (baptized) couple in the eyes of god (they have to sit in front of the Guru Granth Sahib and listen to "lavans", which are instructions about marriage and unity and whatever).

3) It's actually very common for Sikhs to go to College or University in order to learn Granthi Studies to be a Giani (priest); they generally learn the historical events surrounding the hymns and they analyze the verses - the curriculum may include learning fluent Sanskrit, Farsi, and Urdu as well.

4) Meat is never served as langar. In some countries (based on the major dominant culture), the typical roti/dhaal langar is changed; for example, in some temples (gurdwaras) in Singapore, they serve noodles - however, these noodles will be vegetarian and only vegetarian. This is because Sikhs are vegetarian, meaning no meat whatsoever, not even halal.

I'm sorry, but this is the point that I needed changed the most. Some Sikhs (and ALL baptized Sikhs) are vegetarian (no meat, no eggs, no fish), and I just really wanted to clear up the misconception.

5) Also, "Akhand Kirtani Jathai" is not a conservative sect (actually, there aren't any sects in Sikhism) - they are just a group of musical performers that compose/sing poetry about events in Sikh history in gurdwaras, kinda like gospel in churches.

I know that this might not seem like credible information at all, it's just really hard to find accurate sources since nobody even knows about Sikhism, much less writes proper articles on it (the only ones I can think of are Basics of Sikhi and Sikhnet, but they aren't exactly articles). I feel like this should be common knowledge, but I guess not all people have had the same access to religious education that I have had.

I'm so sorry again,

Thank you for your time. 184.65.116.153 (talk) 07:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

@Cross33: What you were doing to Justin Wells is referred to as "page hijacking". The page topic exists and it is likely there are multiple links to that page.

I just meant to point out the differentiation between the cultural aspect and what is promoted within the lines of scripture themselves; for example, while it is common for non-baptized Sikhs to eat meat, there are legitimate verses from the religious text that specifically address how eating any meat is considered to be "a sin" - however, I guess there are some people out there that do interpret the text as permitting "halal" meat. It's just the first time I've seen a minority view (that holds less religious and cultural convention) as being accepted as the general rule for all Sikhs. I guess it's sorta comparable to saying that although the scripture might literally say that a Sikh should not cut their hair (it does), a cultural view in some remote area interprets this as 'a Sikh is permitted to cut their hair once every other month' (hypothetical example) and then that generalization of all Sikhs were written onto an article about Sikhism (which then leads to the misunderstanding that Sikhism permits cutting one's hair every other month).

I swear, I'm trying to stay as objective as possible - Sikhism isn't that well known of a religion and I just really didn't want to create more misinformation, regardless of one's opinions of it.

  I do completely understand your point, though. I'm really sorry to have bothered you - I promise that this is the last message!

(I'm guessing this whole replying thing must get pretty tiring)

Caution

The warnings you recently posted on User talk:70.97.96.239 were a bit problematic. The edits referred to were not vandalism. The edits did have problems and needed "fixing", but were certainly not vandalism. Please be careful with the "vandalism" accusations. Thanks for your good work around here. Vsmith (talk) 13:34, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

@Vsmith: Thanks for the note. I really appreciate feedback.

Something very strange seemed to be happening with that IP. 70.97.96.239 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was doing rapid-fire edits to articles, making 17 edits in 37 minutes to unrelated articles. This included six? fully formatted references. This would seem to be some kind of prepared edits, some fast copy/paste, some kind of bot test, or maybe the anon is a fast reader/organizer/typist and I'm getting old. The followup edit to Child, Food industry, and AirPods complicates the first hypotheses. Other then Bethel and Puyallup high schools are about 12 miles apart and the IP geolocates to Northwestern University in Washington which is about 40 miles from Puyallup, I don't see any connect between articles. The edits listed below are in order of the first edit. Diffs include all edits by the anon.

1. diff Canyon High School (Anaheim, California) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Unreferenced and reverted by another.
2. diff Bethel High School (Spanaway, Washington) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) No refs, just changing "boys and girls" to "men and women" Another reverted this.
3. diff Puyallup High School (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) A few minor corrections.
4. diff Transhumanism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Unreferenced and reverted by another.
5. diff 12th man (football) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Unreferenced and reverted by me.
6. diff Pinterest (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) A few minor correction. No refs.
7. diff Latrodectus (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) The IP changed "male black widow spider" to "black male widow spider" which I find rather racist.
8. Bethel High School second edit w/ cite web
9. diff Telepathy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added. Reverted by another "clickbait".
10. diff Aleutian Islands (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added. Current edit.
11. diff AirPods (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added. I reverted as "didn't belong in the lede".
12. diff Child (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added.
13. diff Food industry (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added.
14. Child second edit - sentence added.
15. Food industry second edit - simple change.
16. AirPods second edit - simple change.
17. diff Lung (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Formatted ref added.

• The references were all different sites. Fox, Cnet, Yahoo news, BBC, LA Times, collective-evolution.com

Pardon my lack of AGF, but this seems very suspicious. What do you think, Vsmith? Thanks again. Jim1138 (talk) 01:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Strange indeed - I really don't know ... either a group effort (in a computer lab) or someone prepared a bunch of edits (offline?) and then did the rapid fire edits. Vsmith (talk) 01:26, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

If they were prepared, I wouldn't think the updates. Also, why were the refs added only at the end? Jim1138 (talk) 02:12, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Enra Group

Hi Jim1138,

I noticed that you deleted the Enra Group wikipedia page. Would it be possible to have a conversation around why I think it should be there? I think it is notable due to your “sustained” criterion, it has had repeated coverage over 3 years in Sunday Times as a notable high-growth UK business (Fast Track 100 + 1 year in Profit Track 100 and an expected 2nd years in the latest edition of Profit Track 100).

That’s an independent measure from a major UK news source that considers Enra Group's performance to be “notable” for a sustained period of time. The links are included in the article.

Thanks,

Xazxda (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

@Xazxda: I didn't delete it, I only suggested it be deleted. An wp:administrator reviewed my suggestion, the article, and then deleted it. I do not remember the specifics on the article. It was likely it was either that it did not appear to meet wp:notability or it was worded in a wp:promotional manner. See wp:NOTPROMOTION, wp:policy, and wp:manual of style. I would suggest you review the previous pages and look at similar organizations to get an idea how to write an article. You might also use wp:article for creation and/or create it in your sandbox.

proof that BHUTTO family belongs to ARAINS not to RAJPOOTS..

Mr. Jim I want to assure you that bhutto family is from arain tribe, because arains entered in sindh in 712 A.D. with MUHAMMAD BIN QASIM. Arains are from arbian roots and also landlords in punjab and sindh. As Benazir bhutto claims it while interview in 2005. She is claiming that her forefathers belongs to arabs.But RAJPOOTS are a Non-muslim family.And Muslims including peoples of Arain tribe defeat RAJA DAHAR (from Rajpoot family).see it on youtube, here is the prove.............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3W1DcZvNs .......and for full video.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFYJuYuMjYc&t=78s — Preceding unsigned comment added by Choudrhy Muhammad Ahmad (talk • contribs) 10:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Molecular Beam Epitaxy edit

Molecular Beam Epitaxy

You added back my removal of the 2009 sentence about it being the first oxide growth. "In 2009, molecular beam epitaxy has been used to deposit oxide materials for advanced electronic, magnetic and optical applications. For these purposes, MBE systems have to be modified to incorporate oxygen sources.[2]"

This claim is implies that the included reference is the first time MBE was used with oxide materials. It is not the first time.

A quick search shows, http://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.1593832 And, there are likely older references.

It feels like the reference was included by someone for self-serving purposes.

A general sentence on the kinds of molecular / atomic sources have been used would be more helpful. Skddp (talk) 22:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Independent clause

Hi, I noticed you reverted my edit at Independent clause and pointed out my edit was disruptive on my talk page. The source I picked was reliable and I was adding additional information to the page (there's barely anything on it). I was wondering why you felt my edit was disruptive. 99.252.156.13 (talk) 03:25, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I'm wondering if you know what the protocol is if you suspect one editor is using multiple IP addresses to edit the same articles. I've read over Wikipedia:Sock puppetry and it seems to deal more with named accounts rather than IP addresses. I think that all of these IP addresses are being used by the same person:

• 205.251.68.91
• 205.251.68.124
• 205.251.68.92
• 50.195.72.217

I left messages requesting this user to register an account, but I haven't received a response. These generally seem like good faith and productive edits, but it concerns me that one individual appears to be using multiple accounts. Thanks for any thoughts you may have. Marquardtika (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

@Marquardtika: Some IPs are more dynamic than others. Might be using a coffee shop or other public wifi. The red flag is when the IP is blocked and then edits with another IP. That would be grounds for a range block or wp:DENY Another block-worthy issue is the IP impersonating multiple people to sway opinion on AfDs or talk pages. At first glance, it appears that IP list is editing entirely different articles. I don't see any obvious problem. None have block history. Any other problems that you see with these IPs? (BTW: if you use {{userlinks|205.251.68.91}} That will list most info). Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Got it, thanks! And thanks also for the userlinks tip. Marquardtika (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Michael Jeter

@Jim1138: Thanks for your note. I am not a prolific editor on Wikipedia, but I have been making edits, from time to time, for many years, certainly over a decade.

One of the many good things about Wikipedia is that there is no single arbiter of what information is useful. Granted, things can fall into disarray if nobody ever reverts anyone else's edits, but I would advise restraint when taking such actions. The fact that a phrase is not written the way that you would write it (or the fact that it exists at all) is not necessarily grounds for you to remove it.

It is not uncommon for artists who have won top awards in multiple discplines (Oscar/Grammy/Tony/Emmy, mostly) to be referred to as "Tony and Emmy Award-winning." Mr Jeter's Tony award was an enormous accomplishment in his career and, to the extent that the Emmy is mentioned in his introduction, it makes sense that the Tony would be mentioned there as well. You could also argue that his awards might not be mentioned at all, but as you know, there are a variety of editorial styles represented on Wikipedia in this regard. Editorial styles are subjective, of course.

Just as I was entitled to change the page in a way that seemed, to me, to be useful, you are certainly entitled to change the page in a way that you believe makes the page even better. But to simply revert an edit, because you would not have made that particular edit... that goes beyond what I think it reasonable oversight. It discourages community participation in the project. Perhaps that is your goal. But it has been the effect. I am now less likely to throw in my extremely-occasional two cents next time I see information that I think might be useful.

Oh, and I realize "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox" is just boilerplate, but obviously what I was doing was not experimentation. It was a perfectly reasonable, good-faith edit. And that sentence is a bit patronizing. I don't edit much, but I do know the difference between a real edit and playing around.

In the end, I suppose the ultimate "winner" of this dispute will be whichever of us has more stamina to argue about what is and is not a constructive edit to the late Michael Jeter's page. And I suspect you will come out on top there. So... knock yourself out. These paragraphs of thoughts are probably more involved than I should have gotten. ReadParse (talk) 19:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

@ReadParse: The odd thing I noticed was that here you changed Butt Nine (play) to Butt Nine (play) which is a wp:redlink. I tried various Google searches and without finding any play. Is there a Butt Nine play? Was this intentional or an accident? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:33, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Well that's embarrassing. It turns out that your problem was not with my legitimate edit, but with one that was unintentional. Yowsa. OK, I'll explain. I have this "Butt-to-butt" Chrome extension, which replaces all occurrences of "butt" to "butt", and all occurrences of "my butt" to "my butt". "Butt" is so overused that it's really funny, but it seems that it even happened in the article content that I was editing. So, like I said... super embarrassing. And it reveals that I didn't even preview my change, which is a problem. Ugh, so embarrassing. If you can't tell, I was having a bad day yesterday. Sorry about that.

Hi.

In response to your message, I have not removed content from the Windows 10 Version History page. I have switched the changelogs from paragraph to bullet-point format, as many users find it easier to find a certain feature.

After seeing the multiple mentions of "copyright violation" and plagiarism on the Windows 10 Version History talk page, I have browsed through the Windows 10 Insider blog, and listed new features in my own words.

Adding helpful content is what Wikipedia is about, and without the list of features, the page is worthless.

Hello, I recently made an edit to the Bacon's cipher page.

Hi Jim,

I'm still getting the hang of how to provide sources and I have a lot of knowledge of Cole from one of his dancers Matt Mattox and from the booK UNSUNG GENIUS.

Is it because I deleted the term "dance-training workshop"? I apologize if this is the case, however, those dancers were under contract and they were paid $125 a week (which was a lot back then) so I find the term inaccurate when trying to understand the dance industry in this day and age. I think it's an important distinction too. If you get paid it's called a "company" and hundreds of dance schools (including DANCE MOMS Abby-Lee are calling their student groups a "dance company"!!!

Your deletion of my edits o the Port Moresby page

Hello Jim

I would be grateful if you could clarify what you want me to reference. For instance, I removed the typical white slag of Sir Michael Somare, which provided no source for the statement that the mansion offered him was not as mansionous as he preferred -- my memory is that he told the Australians that as PM of the country, he would make the decision about where and how he lived, not them, a perfectly justified position in my view. Are there other national leaders referred to in Wikipedia so disrespectfully? So where is the source for that and how come it is allowed to remain unedited?

There never was a "Territory of Papua and New Guinea" except as an administrative instrument -- Papua remained Australian territory until the day of independence, and New Guinea remained United Nations Trust Territory until the day of independence. Their merging into one occurred at independence when the nation of Papua New Guinea was born.

I was there, a working journalist at the time. 1963-77. Now I am back. 2010-?

I despaired of the last section; thought I would give it some work some time in the future. The biggest single sport doesn't really get a mention, Rugby League, which references the NRL in Australia. It is so big that Austrlian NRL stars are used in health and road safety promotions. Soccer used to be big but it has dwindled on the vine; cricket was never more than a Papuan aberration. The United States didn't form an oil company, for God's sake, Esso came in.

the head office of PNG Air gets a mention -- no argument with that -- but it is the small brother. Where is big brother in airline terms, Air Niugini, with domestic flights all over and lots of international destinations? Come on, mate!!!

So all this unsourced and sometimes where rubbish remains, but my knowledgeable additions get scrubbed?

I would like to see some justification for this.

Yes, edit is correct

Hi Jim,

Mark Goodley/david ben pesach

The edit is factually correct... and very well known since the Dead Sea Scrolls were published. The percentages cited, documents, etc. are all public.

....Unless you want to cite and use the entire Old and New Testaments for further evidence...

If you look at what is written, I don't think anything is controversial in any way.

... unless you want to consider the Pope's position, but he and it are on record, TV, etc...

This was largely believed until the Dead Sea Scrolls (50BCE-200 AD) were discovered and translated, revealing a very different story. 95% of all scroll writing is in Hebrew, including most all "daily" documents including land transfers, sales, material purchases, etc. Only (approx.) 3% of discovered Dead Sea writings are in Aramaic, supposedly those written to gentiles/pagans. 2% were written in Greek, which makes perfect sense as they had been there for 300 years. The Aramaic first came around 730 BC but wasn't understood by Jews until much later (Is 35). (The Romans only came to Judea around 60 BC under Pompei). It is now very clear that the spoken and written daily language of Jews was Hebrew, Not Aramaic. For further evidence and clarification look at the surprising examples from the New Testament, the many examples of Jesus. For example. At the Transfiguration, Jesus Spoke to Moses And Elijah... only one possibility exists, and it's Hebrew not Aramaic. Jesus Spoke and read Isaiah in/at The Temple and Galilee synagogues... and all the people listened And understood... again, only one possibility, Hebrew, Not Aramaic. The minted coins were all in Hebrew, not Aramaic. The people cried out Hosanna, Hebrew, not Aramaic...Paul said that Jesus spoke to him in Hebrew, not Aramaic. So despite Pope Francis's denial that Jesus spoke Hebrew (only Aramaic), there are many many examples to easily prove this belief false. In fact, the evidence strongly suggests that it is very likely that most educated people spoke multiple languages fluently, much like the majority of Europe today. It is commonly excepted that Saul/Paul spoke and wrote in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, and probably some Latin as well. The evidence and 1st century witnesses state that many of the books of the New Testament were originally written in Hebrew such as Matthew, Hebrews, and Revelations. These "originals" have been lost, likely/probably due to the Temple destruction and deportations of 70 and 132 AD...

Hi Jim,

Greetings;

mark d goodley/david ben pesach

please note my prior reply...

ie/Everything written is either common knowledge (New and Old Testaments) or public domain. The percentages, documents, etc. for example have all been in the public domain for decades....with many books on the topic.

The only possible "rustled feathers" might be the Pope's position... but it was made on world wide TV and cannot hardly be disputed.

I am somewhat new to Wikipedia, but saw the obvious lack of information and aged position...

But you know what? Galileo walked up a tower and dropped two balls, forever disproving 2,000 years of teaching, "knowledge", and belief... but you know what the schools continued to teach for 150 years thereafter?

Your call

@Markdgoodley: See wp:verifiability. It's not my call, it is wp:policy. BTW: It is likely that Galileo didn't do any such experiment. Most likely a thought experiment. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Gravity's Rainbow

I won't both adding the sources for the Gravity's Rainbow genres, because it's kind of silly to have citations for some and not for others. (Should we add a cite to prove it's a "historical novel" next?) But if I were to add them, I would demonstrate Slipstream by pointing here: https://w2.eff.org/Misc/Publications/Bruce_Sterling/Catscan_columns/catscan.05 and demonstrate science fiction by pointing...well, maybe immediately to the left, where the entry notes that the book was nominated for a Nebula Award.173.64.74.153 (talk) 05:40, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Elliott Blackstone

This is my Grandfather and we've tried several times to get his information corrected. One being his birth place. Wikipedia has my great grandfather death place as my grandfather's birth place. My grandfather father Elliott R. Blackstone was born in Aurora, Kane, Illinois, on October 30, 1948. He was a great man and I think his details should be corrected. Especially now that the Compton Riot area that he work with is becoming the first district of it kind in the nation. So I would appreciate to making these corrections. I thought me saying I was fixing my grandfather birth place was adequate enough and if my name is on there it needs to be with the last name Blackstone. Ty ahead of time... Sabrina Blackstone (talk) 06:13, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Ok i am hating this mailing system here. And it's horrible trying to make the simplest of changes. Though it says he grew up there it never states he was born there. As I have heard it from his own lips plus I have our lineage chart going back over 300 yrs that I know of, I would tend to think i know the truth. Especially since for the for the first couple of years Wikipedia didn't even have his named spelled correctly. And since I do talks and activist work in his honor along with my daughter, I know more about him then you will ever know. So if you could just assist me in making the changes properly i would be very greatful. And I'll leave you to do what you know and get back to what I know to do... 07:52, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Sabrina Blackstone (talk)

World Wide Web Logo

Hi, I noticed that a logo fore the World Wide Web didn't exist. So I made one. Was that correct to insert it in the World Wide Web page?

A Lot (talk) 09:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

@A Lot: I don't think there is an "official" WWW logo. Please enlighten me on such a logo. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 09:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Yes It doesn't exist an official logo, we can say that I am trying to make one.

The logo it is a visual synthesis of the power of the world wide web. I used the triangle that represents the number three, that it is the creation. It is also the number of the famous "WWW". Into the triangle there is the world connected by the internet. I used a silver background because it reminds to the machines that create the connections and store the data. The outlines are thick to create a better legibility in small reproductions. This is briefly the explanation of the logo. Should I put it in the World Wide page?A Lot (talk) 10:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

@A Lot: Per wp:verifiability, there needs to be a wp:reliable source stating that it is the official logo. Otherwise, probably not. Sorry. If you want to ask further, please ask at the wp:teahouse. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Punjab legislative assembly election, 2017 page

Dear Jim, I am sorry I removed all the opinion polls that did not have a [number] beside them as I thought they were fake polls. Thank you for restoring. However, I have noticed someone keeps changing the February 2017 poll numbers. If you click the number source link for Feb 2017, it says AAP 63 Inc 43 SAD 11. Someone keeps making it Inc 73 Aap 33 SAD 11. But this is no where on the website. You can navigate the source on your own: http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2017/02/02/huffpost-cvoter-pre-poll-survey-aam-aadmi-party-set-to-win-punj/?utm_hp_ref=in-homepage Punjab is a region in Asia that has been ruled by an oligarchy of two parties whose relatives are intermarried, the Inc and Sad. Every 5 years either one alternates. They play ethnic divisions to divide us, such as different taxes and tuition fees depending on your ethnicity. The new AAP is standing for equality, no more ethnic vs ethnic, it will be poor vs rich. They stand for e-governance (the old parties have been known to steal a lot of funds), and AAP wants to make the budget accessible online, so people can see where the money goes. If you could please monitor people putting incorrect numbers for AAP, which has already won here in Punjab, is leading in exit polls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.199.60 (talk) 09:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Espresso Martini

The 'gentleman' in question that is on the other end of this 'war' as you call it has been told that he is vandalizing. And, apparently, he doesn't care. The drink is an IBA drink, the cocktail box template clearly states that such should only use the IBA ingredients, which would include amounts, and the IBA recipe clearly states 'short espresso', nothing else. But, it apparently amuses this person to vandalize specific pages, such as the martini one and the Steuben Glass Works.85.229.51.18 (talk) 13:41, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

@Rugbyrugbychange: I presume this is the "explanation"? It should either go in the wp:edit summary or on talk:Leinster Rugby. I only reverted you as you didn't leave an explanation and I could not see any obvious reason (such as vandalism or erroneous content). It appears that you removed this content before and were reverted. You might want to go through wp:policy and wp:manual of style to get an idea what the content of the page should be. I am not familiar with that subject. BTW: please see wp:talk page guidelines on how to discuss on a talk page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 05:22, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

In the case of Ebola, a cytokine storm can be thought of as an SOS signal which causes the immune system to launch all of its weapons at once in a desperate kamikaze attack. While this hurts the virus it also leaves behind tons of collateral damage, especially in the blood vessels. Paradoxically, the healthier the immune system the more damage it can do to itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.181.33.57 (talk) 05:38, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138. This reversion at Jon F. Vein [7] wasn't made because of an unwillingness to sort through content. To the contrary, I, and to a lesser extent another account, spent some time plucking the unsourced and public relations-style content from the article; I was merely reverting to the last decent version. I write this because I don't want to give the COI account the impression that this is done haphazardly. I've started a discussion at the COI noticeboard.
