March 2018

Hello, I'm RegistryKey. I noticed that you recently removed content from Dash without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 07:17, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Erwadi Santhanakoodu Festival

Hello! I notice that you (and Cluebot) reverted a couple of edits by an IP user on this article that I think were probably justified. Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, it seems like the old festival schedules really shouldn't be kept around; the individual year schedules don't seem to vary much, and noting that, for instance, the "Holy Flag hoisting" took place 30 minutes later in 2016 than in 2015 doesn't seem particularly notable. As I noted on the talk page, if there are no objections I am planning to remove much of this stuff from the article. Thanks, PohranicniStraze (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

@PohranicniStraze: Hi! As the article is about an annual festival, I think you have a point. The old schedules can be removed if you believe it is redundant and no longer needed. —JackintheBox (talk) 19:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Please stop behaving like a welcome bot

Wikipedia deliberately does not have an automatic welcome when an account is created. Dozens if not hundreds of accounts are created every day that never make a single edit. Mass-welcoming them is a waste of time and resources that could be spent doing things that actually improve the encyclopedia. The community has rejected the idea of automatic welcomes. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:16, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

@Beeblebrox: Alright. I thought it would be a good idea to welcome all accounts created on the English Wikipedia (not automatically created, as they might have come from other Wikipedias) to encourage them to make useful contributions and discourage vandalism by providing some useful links. Next time I will just welcome new users who have already made some edits, according to the nature of their edits. —JackintheBox • ^TALK 04:26, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

About the recent removal

I removed that information because of recent political discussions about ageism and I spoke with the person about their page because he doesn't want to be discriminated against. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LouisGiordano (talk • contribs) 01:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

How should I fight vandalism in my user page?

On one hand, I want to allow IP users who made good-faith mistakes to ask me questions and tell me when I make mistakes; but on the other hand, one user had created many alts and continues to vandalize my page, telling me to die, accusing me to be a black person as if that's a bad thing, calling me a kid. And it takes hours for these alts to get blocked. XYZt (talk) 06:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

@XYZtSpace: Yes, I am quite irritated by these people who seem to have nothing better to do than vandalise Wikipedia and make threats to users. I have added your talk page to my watchlist so if I find further disruptive edits in the future I may revert them and warn or report the vandals if necessary. The reality is that if you want to fight vandalism on Wikipedia you have to expect your own pages to be vandalised (my own talk page has been vandalised 12 times to date).

If you have any more questions feel free to leave a message on my talk page or (recommended) you could ask the question at the Wikipedia:Help desk or add the {{help me}} template on your talk page and ask your question below that template. Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 06:23, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Rhea Butcher

Your edit to Rhea Butcher has been reverted. Per MOS:GENDERID most biographies of people using pronouns which "may come as a surprise to readers" will say so in the lede. In this case it says "Butcher uses they/them pronouns". Thanks. --ChiveFungi (talk) 13:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

MP Official Photo Enquiry

Hi Jackinthebox,

I'm hoping you might help, I added the previous photo to Sir Peter Bottomley MP's office as this is his office's official portrait. Firstly, I was unable to format it correctly so unfortunately it did not appear correctly. However, I believe the current image is not the official portrait of the MP, but rather a photo series produced for Parliament. Sir Peter would prefer his office's official portrait be used, and if you can help me to format that correctly, I'd be incredibly grateful!

Best,

Sukarnoputri

Hi, I disagree a bit with your use of the default edit summary in this revert.

Ways to improve List of countries by grape production

Hi, I'm Edaham. JackintheBox, thanks for creating List of countries by grape production!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. There seemed to be a typo - in the list title the word Garlic appears to have been substituted for grape. A bit more info at the top might be helpful, perhaps some general info on what kind of grapes are produced by each region. Are they wine grapes, other? Have a think about it.

Rollback granted

Hi JackintheBox. 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! Mz7 (talk) 08:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Far-left%20politics%20in%20the%20United%20Kingdom&diff=869942509

Hello,

Responding as per your message re. the above edit. I did explain this edit as follows: "duplicates info already in the attached Template:UK far left." Just to add: this is a very long and completely unnecessary list of wikilinks to which adds nothing to the main article given that the exact same links are in the attached template, and arguably detracts from the article by making it unwieldy and less readable. It would make the article more user-friendly to remove the list.

Reply to your message

Thanks for welcoming me. So I was intrigued at how my edits violated anything. I read the rules many times, but my goal was that synopsises for any of the LNs beyond the 3 which were released, only exist in Japanese on Japanese sites. Since I've read up to a certain point, I intended to provide short synopsises so those interested can get a feel for what happens, as again, its hard to find info so I wanted at least short synopsises available. However, Wikipedia articles shouldn't be too cluttered and since there was an Episode list for the anime, I intended to create an LN list article so this page would not be too full (it probably appeared I was removing a bunch of info but that was to move it to the list article). I hope you understand and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could get back to me. Thank you again.ImagineRejector (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

1993 Bombay Bombings

The information which I'd edited is totally correct. I've done a deep research on it. Indian news channels like ABP news provide a bit wrong information. If you don't believe then please read S.Hussain Zaidi's book "Black Friday". He believes that the blasts occurred between 1:28 PM to 3:35 PM not 1:30 PM to 3:40 PM. Moreover BBC says that 800 dead not 257 and I've an objection of 'locations attacked' in article. The blasts of Worli, passport office and century bazaar are the same and two blasts aren't mentioned. V.i.z Hotel Airport centaur and Shiv sena bhavan. The blast of Mandvi masjid hadn't occurred but just created by CM Sharad Pawar to prevent communal hue. The locations attacked are not presented in chronological order. I believe on my and Mr. Zaidi's authentic research.

So please let me edit! Gururaj Wackchaure (talk) 08:04, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

@Gururaj Wackchaure: Hi, the sources that are cited in the article mentioned that the number of deaths was 257, and that the blasts occurred between 1:30 to 3:40 pm. These statistics had not changed since the article was created in 2004, so please do not change them randomly without an edit summary. If you want to change the numbers to this long-established information, please cite reliable sources to support and verify your changes. Also, please note that Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

1993 Bombay blasts

A film (and its plot) is not a reliable source to support what happened in an real-life incident. Anyway, above you mentioned a book named 'Black Friday', and now you are talking about a film of that name. If you believe your book is a better source than the current sources in that article, and you have read the Books section on Wikipedia:Citing sources so you know to cite it properly, you could start a discussion on the article talk page on whether to add the source and change the information in the article according to the book, or not.

@Eladkarmel: Hi, the source itself is acceptable. But please be sure that the information you add to a Wikipedia article is supported by the source you give. For instance in the Celldömölk article you wrote "Before World War II, there was a large Jewish community of about 394 Jews". However, the source states "Altogether 394 Celledömölk Jews were deported to the Jánosháza ghetto", which is something quite different from what you wrote. Also, you said "The community was annihilated by the Nazis in the Holocaust". However the source states "After the war a mixed community of neological and orthodox Jews was founded, counting 81 people." This shows that the Jewish community was not annihilated (that would mean all of the Jews were killed). Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 06:03, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Cumulative. I don't know which edit triggered it. I've run across your edits for a long time; IMO, editors deserve recognition, and this is my personal way (I created that template) of doing it.

In my estimation, editor retention is one of the most critical issues facing Wikipedia. We do not give out rewards as often as we should. Barnstars and thank yous are eschewed, when they cost no one anything. Editing and awards is not a zero sum game. We seem to gravitate toward warnings and punishment, when psychologists (e.g., B.F. Skinner) have proved that positive reinforcement is one of the most effective behavioral management tools. If we want to retain editors, we should give them strokes, not pokes. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:25, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks again mate. I also have a mild OCD but it rarely bothers me here in Wikipedia. It effects me real life though. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:00, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Ali bin Fetais al Marri

Please make the changes in the page of Ali bin fetais al marri, as the information in the page is libellous. IF you will not let make the changes or make the public aware the contents are disputed, we shall hold Wikipedia responsible to making defamatory comments, remarks and statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IAACA4 (talk • contribs) 10:29, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Ali bin Fetais al Marri

am not sure how to go about corresponding with Wikipedia. My complaint is with the Page on Dr Ali Al Marri.

This page is poorly researched with a number of flaws and information that is libellous and also rather damaging to a young girl. For example its says Dr Ali maybe the father of the child of R Dati, however on a simple check you will note the french court never names the father but says business Tycoon.ex-ministers-paternity-case-finally-put-to-bed; https://www.thelocal.fr/20141008/ex-ministers-paternity-case-finally-put-to-bed.

Other matters including alleged family members being members of Al-Qaeda, yet no evidence, or how these people are related? gives the wrong impression.

Reference either do not exist or are in french or simple not available to the public.

I do not wish to issue proceedings against Wikipedia, but wish to come to an understanding which allows the changes to be made on this page.

Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by IAACA4 (talk • contribs) 10:35, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

@IAACA4: I agree that content in the article that are not supported by sources and are potentially libellous should be removed from the page.

About the recent removal

Hello JackintheBox, I wanted to clarify about my recent contribution, this edit to Educational entertainment, which might have appeared as vandalism. I intended to replace the word "rocket" with "types", and by mistake I typed in "tyeps", I'm sorry for that.

Ambuj Shukla 15:37, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ambujshukla2004: Hi Ambul, thanks for the explanation! I see that the word 'rocket' was vandalistically introduced by IP 46.23.46.36 in this edit that was made on 25 January. Interesting how you were the first to notice and change it after the vandalism being there for over two months! Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 15:45, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ambujshukla2004: By the way, when you add messages to talk pages, be sure to sign them with four tildes (~~~~). This automatically adds your username and a timestamp to show when it was written.

User:SquirePants701

Hi JackintheBox! Thanks for reporting this user to AIV. I technically shouldn't have blocked it, however... this is because the user's edits were last made back in 2013. However, given that it's a clear sock user (they admitted it in an edit summary) and being disruptive, I'm not going to worry about it too much. :-) Just keep this in mind when looking at an editor's contributions; we typically don't block accounts or IP users if their last edits are old and the user is obviously stale. No big deal, though. Just figured I'd let you know. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Noted (but I've always thought better late than never!) JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 07:48, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I sometimes think "better late than never" as well. It just depends on the situation and the disruption. If it's a case of normal vandalism or promotional edits that happened months ago and then the user stopped editing after that, then obviously there'd be no point in blocking now... in cases of sock puppet users and highly abusive LTA accounts, I have no problem with blocking those any time they pop up. I have no "statue of limitation" when it comes to LTA abuse and their accounts... lol ;-) You're still totally fine with reporting every instance you see; you've done nothing wrong at all and I thank you for all of your time and diligence. Just don't be surprised if an admin declines blocking due to the account or user being stale is all. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:55, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

United States Park Police

I’m confused. Not constructive ? I am editing incorrect information and adding correct info from an official government website which I cited at the bottom of the paragraph. The entire page looks horrible. I’m going to revert my edits and continue to add more edits with links from the official National Park Service Website. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:64EA:D696:2049:7450:1F37:2A5A (talk) 10:15, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

You just copied and pasted the whole page on to the Wikipedia article. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 10:18, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Moreover, the page looked fine before you added your edit, making the article look much worse. Maybe press the 'Show preview' button at the bottom of your screen before you 'Publish changes' so you can see what you are actually doing. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 10:20, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Changes to article "Max Price"

I have undone the changes you made. I tried to explain them briefly in the summary but will do so in more detail.

The original order of listing of the children was opposite to their birth order. It does not make sense to cite a source for correcting that.

There are 2 reference which have been removed. The first URL has changed and now references the CV of someone else - the new incumbent of the position that Max Price vacated in 2018. So it is not possible to provide a reference or citation for an incorrect out of date citation. I have however, added a new citation to a URL/Pdf on teh institution's website that gives the correct CV.

The second reference claimed to be a support for a position stated in teh text that Max Price has withheld information about admissions, maintaining white dominance and white interests. If you follow the link, the news article says no such thing.

I have deleted this paragraph because it is libellous and I am raising it with the Wikipedia authorites to have it removed from the history. I have written a fuller article to supplement the current stub but since I am teh subject of the article, I wish to submit it in teh proper way to external editors and not post it myself. CritthinkCT (talk) 11:17, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

@CritthinkCT: Thanks for the explanations. I see that you are indeed correct for both of the two references you removed. Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:30, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

@CritthinkCT: However, please be sure not to spell 'the' as 'teh', as you did four times above. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:31, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

@CritthinkCT: It would be nice if you could find a reliable source to support your addition of his place of birth, that being Johannesburg. Please see Template:Cite web to learn how to cite a web source properly on Wikipedia. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

@CritthinkCT: Per WP:AGF, I am going to believe your claim that you are the subject of the article. Could you please tell us where you have written a fuller article, so we could consider adding the content to the Wikipedia article? Thanks, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Reversal of Contributions to DeMolay

As far as some of your other edits, as your pointed out, they needed source citation (which I just hadn't done yet, honestly) and I agree with your input. As far as my contributions to the DeMolay wiki, I'm not quite sure what to use... what would you suggest? I have first hand knowledge of the specific topic. I myself am a Senior DeMolay, Past Master Councillor for DeMolay, a DeMolay Masonic sponsor, a Founder of several new DeMolay Chapters within my jurisdiction, a Master Mason of 18 years, and a Brother of the advanced Masonic Orders. As either serving or having served as an officer in both organizations, I know unequivocally what the rules and processes are, but how does one cite sources for an organization that even describes itself as a "societal of secrets", that is not inclined to put out literature for general consumption, and in which so much of its composition is tradition passed down from one Master Mason to another or one Brother the another?

Learning how to edit Wikipedia and add an article.

Hello, JackInTheBox

So I want to know how can I edit and add an source, because I'm learning that stuff I don't know, because I didn't use that keys before. We are the Great (talk) 14:26, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

@We are the Great: Hi, please you Template:Reply to to reply to other users, e.g. you would use {{ping|JackintheBox}} to reply to me. Double square brackets ([[]]) do not work as they are used to link to a Wikipedia page. Also, this template is case-sensitive, so you must type 'JackintheBox' (my username) instead of 'JackInTheBox'. This template does not need to be used if you are leaving a message on my own talk page, as I get a notification whenever someone edits my talk page.

To add a source to an article from the web, please see Template:Cite web – it shows you how to properly add an inline citation. Usually you would need to include the URL of the source, name of the website, title of the page/article, date on which the page/article was published, and date on which you accessed it. Here is an example: to cite this source https://www.thelocal.de/20190315/man-tries-to-smuggle-tortoises-disguised-as-desserts-through-berlin-airport – <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelocal.de/20190315/man-tries-to-smuggle-tortoises-disguised-as-desserts-through-berlin-airport|website=The Local Germany|title=Man tries to smuggle tortoises disguised as desserts through Berlin airport|date=15 March 2019|access-date=18 April 2019}}</ref>

For the above example, title means the title of the news article, and date means the publshing date of the article. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 05:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

@We are the Great: Your draft Band Vaaje needs WP:Inline citations (currently it has none); if you want the draft to be moved to article namespace, you must prove that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 05:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
