Juridical and judicial
Hi Schazjmd, thanks for your edit to German Lorraine. You definitely found a typo! However, the word was "juridical" not "judicial". The distinction is fine, but the former means " relating to the law" whereas the latter means "involving a law court". I've changed it to the former. HTH.

National Register of Historic Places articles
Hi, I'm glad to see you contributing new articles, including Dockton Hotel, about places listed on the U.S. NRHP. You're doing a great job, with this one and the Wurdemann House one you mentioned at my Talk page! I noticed these new articles because they happen to link to an article or two that I created, I guess, so they show up in my notices stream. Not that I check or comment about everything there, but I was happy to see a new author name showing up. :)
Hey, you seem to be doing very well in these, and you may have already used advice at wp:NRHPHELP, but please do feel free to use that resource and perhaps add to it. You'd be very welcome if you'd like to join Wikiproject NRHP, wp:NRHP, and whether you do that or not you are free to comment, ask questions, participate at its Talk page wt:NRHP. cheers, --Doncram (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

- @SLAG: I'll take a look at it after work tonight and get back to you. Schazjmd (talk) 17:32, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! There's still stuff I want to do--I want to hunt down a couple of more refs. At the end of the month, I'll be attending a conference where she'll be speaking, and I'll try to get a picture. But I've copy-edited and cleaned it up, at any rate! Call me SLAG. 17:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

- DBaK, (last time I forgot to notice your preferred style of address, fixed it this time) - I enjoyed the challenge of trying to figure out what happened ten years ago and 4,790 miles away.
I only came across Coldfall Wood through "Random article" and could there be a wood's name more intriguing than that? Then the added mystery of an editor claiming an historical article was "outdated"! It was an hour of pure fun. Schazjmd (talk) 14:48, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Haha, brilliant, thanks! It is a nice little local wood, with a bit of history (which you probably now know better than I do!) but not really a player on the stage of, er, global afforestation. But do please pop over – just the 4,790 miles, eh? – and enjoy it for yourself one day. Cheers DBaK (talk) 15:12, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
WP:CEN is now open!
To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi,
Kindly intervene on the page of 2019 Delhi Temple attack. As some users are removing genuine sources by citing that they’re propaganda websites and hate websites and all. The onesided picture is created being here. Hereby, I’m requesting you to interfere and kindly look at the edits from other users, undoing aggressive edits.

India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan discretionary sanctions
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Rollback granted
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi Schazjmd. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:35, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
- Whoa, using WP:Huggle with rollback permission is like driving a souped-up sports car when you've only ever driven an old clunker that's stuck in first gear. Daunting and intimidating! Schazjmd (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Schazjmd (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I don't have multiple accounts. I have a housemate who uses my desktop computer to edit Wikipedia because she finds it easier than using her phone. I haven't made any improper or disruptive edits or been involved in any disputes with other editors, and she assures me that she hasn't either. We both gnome on random articles, but do our writing on different topics. We've not participated in any of the same discussions or AFDs, etc., that I'm aware of. If either of us have made any edits that you felt were suspicious, we'd appreciate knowing what they are so we can avoid such conduct in the future. (I'm doing my unblock request first because I'm more invested in editing on Wikipedia than she is.) Schazjmd (talk) 19:36, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I've unblocked you per the discussion below about your housemate.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:39, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Your explanation is plausible, but you have to declare the relationship between you and your housemate. To do so, you need to use
{{User shared IP address}}
on both userpages. If you and she agree to do that, I will unblock you both. But you have to be careful to avoid participating in the same discussions anywhere on Wikipedia without also declaring the relationship at the time you do it (other users will not necessarily know to look at your userpages). I need agreement from you editing with this account and from your housemate editing with hers.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:52, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- I'll be glad to do that. And we'll continue to avoid participating in any discussions that the other is involved in. But apparently one of us did something incorrectly to bring this about, what was it? Schazjmd (talk) 19:59, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- I don't usually answer questions like yours, but I'll make an exception. It was the UrbanToreador account that attracted my attention because she tagged an article for speedy deletion that I reviewed. It wasn't even a new article but one that had been created in 2016 but neglected. It's highly unusual for a two-month-old account to tag articles. Then I looked at the rest of her edits, and they also showed a very strong knowledge of Wikipedia for a supposed inexperienced user. Honestly, although I'm willing to accept your explanation that you are not socks, I find it puzzling that her understanding of Wikipedia is so deep. Before I unblock you, I'd like at least for her to explain this on her Talk page, but your thoughts are also welcome.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:11, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Bbb23, ah, that's probably because I helped her get started. She was curious about all the time I was putting in and decided to try Wikipedia for herself. So I showed her how to get around and gave her a bunch of links to read, and I walked her through how I go about writing new articles when she wanted to try one (Lucy Walker (writer). I'm not ready for NPP yet, but I printed out the NPP flowchart and posted it next to my computer for reference, she said when she found that old one sentence article, she went through the chart and it came up A7. (Handing off the computer now) Schazjmd (talk) 20:19, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Good explanation - entertaining too (the last bit).--Bbb23 (talk) 20:21, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Also, thanks for explaining. I try to be conscientious about the actions I take on the site, and was concerned that I'd done something wrong without even knowing. Schazjmd (talk) 20:27, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Re: Nathan Fillion article
Are we even sure that TyMega isn't an automated bot? I've heard that a person can set up Wiki-en accounts as a botfarm, Do a number of edits live, and then leave the bot to support those edits or make small edits elsewhere. Its a perfect sock for a user - one that has been active all the while. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:04, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Jack Sebastian, I don't think so, the edits aren't uniform enough or have a similar enough pattern, although I supposed it's possible. I encountered that editor earlier today when they removed a large number of dubious refs from an article. After I left a question on their talk page, I started looking through it and found a long history of refusing to answer questions, refusing to use edit summary, and "earning" multiple escalating blocks. I also watch Filion's page (I'm a Firefly/Dr Horrible fan) so when I saw on my watchlist that you'd pinged Ty on the article's talk page, I wanted to let you know it was probably a futile attempt.
- Regarding "best known for", I'd let it go. There are so many more important edits to spend your energy on. Schazjmd (talk) 23:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Idaho NRHPs architect etc
Hi, I've been creating some articles about NRHP listings in Idaho, sort of trying to push the last counties over the 30% threshold in wp:NRHPPROGRESSID and doing scattered others. I find it necessary to create Art Troutner and Nisbet & Paradice articles about architects active in Idaho and adjacent states, both still in very rough form. The latter have works in many historic districts. Payette Lakes Club seems like a relatively important topic, also rough. You're welcome to help in those, and I'd like you to know about them anyhow as you occasionally are creating other NRHP articles in the area, right? (Or am i mixing u up with another editor more in Idaho? If so, sorry.) cheers, --Doncram (talk) 06:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Doncram, my NRHP articles have all been Washington state and San Joaquin County in California, so you might be thinking of another editor, but I might take a peek at them when I get a chance.

Photo deletion.
User:Schazjmd, can you remove the image below please? I uploaded the wrong photo by accident.
United States Air Force Security Forces
Schazjmd, I know I already stated this on my talk page, but it was sincerely not my intent to disrupt the consensus on the page there. Just to give you an window into my thought process, I noticed a change on the page to infantry-type force, and changed it as such to integral infantry corps, to emphasize, what I felt was the overarching intent of the consensus. I actually want to thank you for bringing it to my attention that you feel that this did not convey the intent of the consensus, and as such have reverted it to the direct and original wording, as reached in the talk page.
I hope that this demonstrates my desire to work within the intent of the consensus that we worked so hard to reach, and that we can continue to collaborate and work together. Garuda28 (talk) 04:10, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Garuda28, you earned my respect with your willingness to discuss and compromise in the July discussion, and I overreacted when I saw infantry-related changes being made again. I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Thanks for cleaning up when I accidentally created a user subpage in mainspace. It looks like another article got created there which will need deletion. I'm using the draft page creation button now. Is there a way to delete self made articles when that happens in the future? Thanks again! RBMcIntosh (talk) 12:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC) |
Glad to help, RBMcIntosh. The redirect that was left in place is already tagged for deletion to clean things up. Any time you accidentally create an article in the wrong place, just move it to the correct title. When you move an article to a new title, it leaves a redirect to the new title on the original article. If you don't want that redirect (for instance, you don't want a draft: to mainspace redirect, or a mainspace to user: redirect), just use speedy delete for redirects. Happy editing!

- Hi Jack, you created the article User Jack Sebastian/They Reach. To have a subpage in your userspace, you need to use User:Jack Sebastian (note the colon). No big deal, happens a lot, I just moved it to the correct space. Schazjmd (talk) 18:14, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Please participate in the discussion
Thank you very much! Hi, you recently made a useful change to my newly created article by Aaron Leupp. If you have time, please vote to save this article on the discussion page. Serhii Harbaruk 18 October 2019 —Preceding undated comment added 20:23, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Serhii Harbaruk, it is not appropriate to request editors to vote a certain way. See WP:CANVAS to learn more about it and why you should never do it.That said, I have not weighed in on the Aaron Leupp article yet as I don't have time today to research him myself. However, just looking at the published article, the citations in the article do not support him meeting general notability guidelines. Ads, press releases, brief mentions, and content written by the article subject are not independent, significant coverage in independent reliable sources. (The Forbes and Huff Post articles are by contributors, not equivalent to content written by staff journalists.) You really need better sources to convince other editors that Leupp is notable. Schazjmd (talk) 23:06, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I only asked you among the editors because I thought it was appropriate and did not violate the rules. Sorry. Okay, I'll take your opinion into account and think about how to fix the problems you've identified on the page within the time allowed for discussion of the page.

- Serhii Harbaruk, of course you wouldn't know about the rules against canvassing, that's why I told you. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble. The discussion on deletion runs for 1 week. Schazjmd (talk) 13:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Request for some help
Dear Schazjmd,
Thanks for your welcoming message! I opened a discussion for deleting the Ecobranding article that strongly seems to be written for promotional purpose by an advertising agency. You can find more information on the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ecobranding page, on the Talk:Ecobranding page or on the talk page of the author of the article User_talk:Robert_Petit. Would you know more about the process and if I respect the guidelines for asking the deletion of an article? Raoul Anodin (talk) 19:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Raoul Anodin, I read your nomination to delete Ecobranding, it seems like you've done a thorough investigation. Your explanation of what you found will be helpful to other editors who weigh in on the nomination. I think there might be a few problems with the format of the AFD nomination, however there are experienced editors who watch the nominations and will help fix that. You can learn more at WP:Deletion process.
It is unusual for one of the first edits by a brand new editor to be an AFD nomination. There will probably be some suspicion as to your motives and whether you have any connection to the article subject or one of its competitors. If you have any connection to anyone connected to Ecobranding or its competitors, it's best to reveal that upfront. Schazjmd (talk) 20:01, 28 October 2019 (UTC)- Thanks for your answer. I am a heavy Wikipedia reader and I contributed sparsely other the years mainly on the French Wikipedia, without creating an account and only small updates like adding sources or trying to make some sentences clearer. I am somehow related as I am a graphic designer from Paris and am also involved in environmental activism, but my field of activity does not have any relation with Ecobranding as I only work with artists and small nonprofit organization, only two of them being in France (an open-source “biology-hackerspace” lab and a nonprofit art space). Should any of this be mentioned on my user page? To be honest I had never stumbled across such example of self-promotion on Wikipedia before, and several of my friend also noticed the Wikipedia page after Royalties-Ecobranding got into mainstream media as they released the 2024 Olympics' logo, so I thought I should start a discussion about this page. Before any edit on Wikipedia, I informed Royalties-Ecobranding in what way I thought their page did not respect Wikipedia’s guidelines and asked them to justify the encyclopedic value of the article on its talk page or I would propose the page for deletion.

- Raoul Anodin, I just brought it up so you can be prepared should any editors question it. I don't think you need to put anything on your user page about it.
I pinged the experts at AFD and they fixed up the format of the nomination page, and also added it to the day's log of AFD nominations so other editors will also find it. The AFD process generally takes 7 days, during which interested editors will add their opinions to the nominations. At the end of the process, an uninvolved editor will consider all of the viewpoints and identify whether there is consensus to delete the article. During this time, editors can continue to improve the article. Schazjmd (talk) 20:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for this edit to Glenn Morshower. You wrote that in the movie By Dawn's Early Light, Morshower played the role of an "F-18 pilot". To support your edit you used this source, but I cannot find the part stating that Morshower played this role. I must have missed it, so I'd appreciate your help. Cheers.

- Magnolia677, I just used the table that Solar Dragon created and looked for cast sources; feel free to remove the specific role if it isn't supported. Schazjmd (talk) 16:36, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- The table added by that editor was completely unsourced, and was removed by User:John from Idegon and myself. If you are going to add the exact same table back, but only source part of it, then it remains unsourced content. With regard to the addition mentioned above, it was the only source I checked, and it was not supported. Are you asking me to check every source you added, and remove all the incorrect ones? Magnolia677 (talk) 16:59, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Now I have checked two of your sources--the one which added "Lt. Leifitz"--and it also was not supported. Would you consider moving the table to your sandbox until it is properly sourced? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:32, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Magnolia677, fixed by removing role column. I'd already removed films from the table completely that I didn't find a good source for. Schazjmd (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

I noticed you declined a pending change at PAW Patrol. What do you mean when you said "not accepting as it's qualitative"? 107.77.230.50 (talk) 21:06, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
