Mexican soap

Hi. The editor has just contributed a third episode in Spanish: Margarita, ponzoñosa. I even left him a {{Contrib-es1}}, but to no effect. Can you admonish him in Spanish, or what do we do? Favonian (talk) 22:42, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleted this one too. We can only hope he starts communicating with us, he seems to speak English from his other edits. Also, I don't speak Spanish :) --Jac16888Talk 22:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Crossed wires

I havben't been around much on WP lately, as my In Real Life has become bigger.

The last few with you amd I are all in the wrong places but they are essentially edit conflicts. I have not had an edit conflict and I doubt you have, but with others editing they just have got in the wrong places. I think you and I both know I will not repy about Filipino talking about Arabic.

It is mz fault because I did tidy out a lot of French in the back part (in fact I and a PNT reg tidied up the templates after he started putting it there, to say no you don't HAVE to put it there, you can be an editor. I mostly do French and Hungarian but do a few other languages well from here at PNT I have done some Latin, oh what they push into you at school eh. Penis, penides, etc. Oh no hang on that is greek.)

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 00:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I noticed the mix-up, must be the software messing us about, I got no edit conflicts either. Glad to have you back, PNT always needs editors. German is the only language I really know, everything else I do is mostly done with machine translators and bits and pieces of languages i've picked up over the years--Jac16888Talk 01:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Green Lantern (film)

The AfD was from last year not 4 years ago. The article still fails WP:NFF. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:01, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

On second thought a redirect to might also be a suitable solution. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

(ec)Perhaps if you had linked to that discussion in the csd tag I would have known that. Regardless, the article is different enough from the previous article that I do not believe deletion under G4 is appropriate. You should start a new afd if you still want it deleted--Jac16888Talk 20:06, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
redirect it then--Jac16888Talk 20:06, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Crispin

Hello,

I'd like to know why you deleted the page i created "Crispin Ngandu Mualaba" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berry.ngandu (talk • contribs) 19:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

It was a direct translation of something you copy and pasted from another website - which makes it a copyright violation. Also, it failed to establish the notability of the subject and it was unreferenced--Jac16888Talk 19:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

IEC 61439

Hi I see that you deleted my IEC 61439 page under advertising. Can you let me know where the problem was and I will correct it, as I believe that the main body of the text was informative and acurate. I will accept that my user details were specific to my company, and would be happy to remove that data, if that was indeed the problem

Anyway if you can let me know it would be appreciated

Thanks Craig --3PhaseDesign (talk) 22:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

The issue with your article is that it was like press release, this is an encyclopedia not a journal. Also it was not at all clear what the article is about about, it was written from a very technical viewpoint. And yes, the fact that you're connected to the subject is someewhat inappropriate due to our rules on conflicts of interest. I would recommend you start from scratch using your sandbox (User:3PhaseDesign/Sandbox]], and use the various help guides to try again, Wikipedia:Your first article should point you in the right direction--Jac16888Talk 23:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

122.148.57.163/P.J. Snow moved to P.J. Snow

Dear Editor, Thank you so much for moving this page to the proper place for me. I was still trying to figure out how to request assistance with this move as I was unsure on which page I should actually put the request - the original 'user talk' page or my 'first move'. I did try to redirect it again to just 'P.J.Snow' but the 'bot' picked me up as a 'vandal'. Once again many thanks. 2BPKP (talk) 03:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Another block would be welcome

Could you consider placing another block on the anon IP that you blocked a month ago?[1] They are continuing the same kind of unexplained, uncited original research speculation that you reverted here [2]. I took some care to explain the issue to them, but there's no response on their talk page, and they simply replace their material. In particular, they just introduced a factual error by claiming a 2007 film references a 2010 film that has yet to be released! This user doesn't appear to even be trying to play by the rules. Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 21:56, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Blocked them again, for a month this time. All they're doing is replacing the same bullshit speculation and misinformation. Thanks for the note--Jac16888Talk 22:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

House nigger

Hi there Jac16888; I just noticed that you deleted House nigger, most probably in response to my request for protection. While this is an odious term, I actually wasn't looking to have it deleted and create-protected, but only semiprotected indefinitely. However offensive it is, there are reasonable targets for this phrase - either House slave, which corresponds to the historical meaning, or List of ethnic slurs#H, which discusses the modern cultural insult derived from the earlier usage. In any case, it definitely should not be left unprotected (in ANY form) for anonymous vandals to redirect it to Barack Obama or any other biographical article - but I think that the page should exist as a blue link. I don't particularly want to go to DRV over this - getting anyone to actually read the arguments before they have an understandably visceral reaction is extremely difficult - but I would ask you to allow me to recreate it (I will take responsibility for recreating it) and then semiprotect it permanently, which surely does need to be done. — Gavia immer (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I can't remember where I was it, on my watchlist somewhere. Honestly, If you wish to recreate it that's your choice, but my personal opinion is that we can do without it. It doesn't really add much to the encyclopedia as a redirect, in fact I imagine the people likely to search it are those we would rather stay away, and really all it can do is cause trouble--Jac16888Talk 04:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
You managed to delete it at almost the same time I listed it for protection, which is why I assumed it was in response to that; if it wasn't, that's not too important. I can understand people having different standards for what they think is beyond the pale of WP:CENSORED's "encyclopedic value" - I am very much in favor of allowing reasonable search terms to be bluelinked, but I genuinely can't stand that Goatse.cx has the image immediately visible, and I can't really uderstand the editors defending inclusion of the image there on "encyclopedic value" grounds. We haven't got any List of working computer virus code examples, either. I do think that this is a reasonable redirect, but I'm not confident that I convince others of this - so I'm not going to do anything more than just disagree with you about it. Thanks for reading. — Gavia immer (talk) 04:41, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
You could always open up a WP:RFD, it may well be that consensus is against my deletion, or rather is for the redirect--Jac16888Talk 05:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
The most recent RfD closed as "delete" based on vandalism, but I managed to convince the deleting admin to allow recreation. I don't think that another discussion would be fruitful. — Gavia immer (talk) 05:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
I saw the previous rfd, that was deleted because it had only ever pointed to barack obama. --Jac16888Talk 05:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

If Giano carries out his threat to change the threads on Wikipedia:Incivility blocks, will you do something about it? You have, after all, archived the discussion. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 09:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I've undone your archiving - it's not resolved yet. I'm sorry, but I want some assurances that further discussion won't be derailed. You may not care about what's going on at the talk page, but I've spent a fair amount of good faith time and effort on trying to get some productive discussion - I cannot help it if other editors talked about him behind his back, but this has nothing to do with me. I note that you haven't commented on the violation of 3RR, is this not an admin matter? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 10:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Not interested. Your actions are causing drama as much as Giano, just drop it and walk away, you're never going to get what you want--Jac16888Talk 12:11, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Please don't curse anymore

Why do you curse so much in your responses to people that put messages on your talk page? It is really not professional or appropriate. Please stop it.

YourBrain (talk) 18:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I am an adult, and am fully entitled to use a few swearwords in conversation when not pointed at a person. Anybody insulted or offended is in my opinion not worth talking to--Jac16888Talk 20:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, in my opinion, cursing in public in a website where children of all ages can read, is inappropriate and most of all immature.

YourBrain (talk) 20:49, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thats your opinion and you're entitled to it, but its not going to cause me to change who I am. Knowing a few swear words as a child is not going to hurt, the only reason it even matters is because people like you make a big deal of out of it - they're just words, and any person using the internet is going to encounter "foul language" within a very short space of time--Jac16888Talk 20:55, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Your brain is right - It's not professional - and because of that we're not going to pay you any more. :-) Toddst1 (talk) 03:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Please elaborate...

You placed this comment on the "Barber National Institute" article: rm contact details

Could you please explain what this means and where specifically you are referring to on the article. Thank you.

--ErieBarber (talk) 18:39, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

That wasn't placed on the article, it was a summary of this edit that I made, [3], to remove the contact information from the article, phone numbers/fax numbers and email addresses. This is per one of our key policies, Wikipedia is not a Directory. Thanks--Jac16888Talk 22:39, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your RfA Participation

{{cleanup-translation}} tag for Georg Hans Madelung

Hi Jac,
I must have misunderstood the tagging process for articles translated from other wikpedias (in this case, the German language WP) to en.wikipedia. I was actually looking for someone who can actually speak a word of German to review the en.wikipedia article with reference to the original de.wikipedia article. (My sincere apologies if you yourself are that person!)
I realise you are very busy, but your help and guidance would be very much appreciated.
--Shirt58 (talk) 11:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
ps: Ich bin ein Berliner

I don't think there is a tag for something like that, I think your best option would be to approach someone at WP:Translation, the purpose of that tag is basically to tell people there are language issues left over from the translation, grammar/mistranslations etc. I will try and take a look at it tomorrow if I get chance, but my german is not fantasic, there are more fluent speakers around.--Jac16888Talk 11:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
ps:

French rugby

"Are you intending to finish translating all those french articles you created?"

I don't know, are you? I've already translated sections of them (70%+ in some cases), and requested help in doing so, but it seems, as usual on Wikipedia, people are more willing to tell folk what to do, rather than doing anything themselves.

I have trouble with rugby jargon in French. We didn't exactly cover that in class for some reason. More small talk, ordering food and booking rooms. If you know where to get hold of such folk, can you tell them please.--MacRusgail (talk) 14:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit to add]I see you have done some work on these. Thank you.

"However I just feel its a bit rude to create a lot of french articles, half translate them then leave the rest for someone else to do" - Not rude at all. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative effort, not an individual one, so that people can use their different skills and talents. I have translated what I can, but rugby terminology doesn't appear in any dictionaries I can get hold of. The only way I've been able to get some of it is by flipping backwards and forwards between the two versions of Wikipedia which is very time consuming.

The articles were supposed to have "under construction" tags on them, but they keep getting removed. I can only do them piecemeal. I can guess the odd thing, such as "selection" = "cap" (selection) & "essai" = "try". I think it is better for the remaining information to appear in French than not at all.

You'll note that I haven't done this for that many rugby articles, except ones about French fatalities of the First World War.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:02, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry

Hi Jac16888, I am sorry to post to your talk page after you told me not to. Please feel free to delete the message after you read it. I just wanted to say I crossed out my comment. Please accept my apology. It was wrong of me to post the comment.Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I will do if Blackmagic1234 harasses me again. I'm going to have to get another account though, since he has already harassed me a lot on this one and other past accounts. I hate to say it, but I'm AFRAID to edit some articles since he knows what articles I edit frequently(ones he doesn't edit). I started on this account editing articles he would never edit, then he found one of my edits and started with me again. I'm going to shut this account down thanks to him. I wish you could block other users on here from seeing things that you do, that would make this a WHOLE lot easier. Abby 96 (talk) 00:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Musgersyndrom

Hi, you deleted Musger syndrom. It appeared to be a hoax. A similar thing happened at nl.wikipedia. A "Strange cutter syndroom" was described. Since the references and sources could not be found the article was deleted as nonsense. The editor replied [4] that he is a medical student and that he wanted to see how long a nonsense article would survive in Wikipedia. Fortunately, it was only 3 days. At nl.wikipedia this user was called PeeHDee. Could you check wether the editor of Musger syndrom (or user PeeHDee) made any additional articles over here? If so, it's best to delete them as well. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 11:50, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Well unless he already knows the words, how would he know they are profanities? And surely you, as a responsible parent are monitoring your son's access to the internet to ensure he accesses no unsuitable material?--Jac16888Talk 16:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
I told him they're profanities and Wikipedia is MEANT to be a safe place. Stop swearing 94.197.210.246 (talk) 17:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
I think you'll find there are much more inappropriate things on Wikipedia than a few harmless swear words. I have no intention of changing who am I or censoring myself for some anonymous supposed parent. Perhaps you could take the opportunity to teach your son that a word can only cause offence or hurt if you allow it to.--Jac16888Talk 20:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Two award articles

Hi, you deleted Singapore Hit Awards under CSD A10 because it duplicated Golden Melody Award, but how can that be? The former referred to an award that (presumably) is given in Singapore, and the latter is a Taiwan-based award. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The article made several references to Golden Melody Award, heading and such and many of the winners matched up, a google search suggests there is no singapore golden melody awards, but that they are included in the Taiwan one --Jac16888Talk 13:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
See http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.singaporehitawards.sg%2Findex.htm&sl=zh-CN&tl=en, a translation of http://www.singaporehitawards.sg/index.htm. "Golden Melody Award", same name (translation of 金曲奖), but in Singapore rather than Taiwan. Not sure about notability, though! Seems to be entirely associated with the YES radio station. But anyway, while I can't speak about whether the info in the article that was written was duplicative, at least, for our mutual information, the actual contest appears to be different from the one in Taiwan. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
My mistake. I can restore it if you like, but it was just a list of winners, there was no content/context. Its up to you--Jac16888Talk 14:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Nah, I wouldn't worry about it under the circumstances because (a) notability might not be there anyway, and (b) I bet no one would get around to translating it in two weeks anyway. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:45, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jac16888,

You placed a level 4 warning on Ky2wang's page in relation to copyright violations: [5].

Hello and thanks for cleaning up the machine translation I found there. I had hoped though that you'd have taken a look at the Spanish article as well, because there are the additional references you've been asking for and there is a sourced passage about the album cover and the band's logo which you deleted as OR in the English translation. So, as my Spanish is too bad for it can you please check the original version and have a look at the sources and stuff? De728631 (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Of the 4 sources on the spanish version, 2 are broken links, 1 is an editorial and therefore no use for me to add content and the last one is a biography of the band with only 2 or 3 lines about the album--Jac16888Talk 21:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I realized they weren't really being handled, so I went through and wiped them out a couple weeks ago. Sad to see so many back, especially redirects to userspace and signatures; I'd expect those to be caught by RC patrol type folks. And- heh, forgot you were the person who renamed the report! So which report are you obsessed with? tedder (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I did the same thing back in feb 09, Wikipedia talk:Database reports/Articles containing links to the user space#run please, and kept it maintained for a while, but then I was away for a few months and when I got back it was massive again and I just couldn't bring myself to go through it again. There is an edit filter designed to catch userlinks, Special:AbuseFilter/149, which even warns, doesn't seem to help that much. My favourite, Wikipedia:Database reports/Ownerless pages in the user space, clear it every saturday morning without fail, they're usually a combination of badly done attempts at sandboxes/archives and people trying to rename, and luckily once the inital backlog was cleared its not been that bad.--Jac16888Talk 20:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Award Of The Purple Head To Jac16888

Award to ALR for aiding censorship on Wiki during the Truthseeker666 affair.

We of Wikipedia suck up admin staff felt that for your courageous and forthright censorship of truthseekers was exemplary and deserved reconition on the time honoured traditions of facist dictators and mass murderers by giving you a badge award. This Badge you see above the "Purple Head" can be worn on the front of your forehead. Without your speedy and diligent banning of users like Truthseekers Wiki might gain some factual and unbiased information and this is something that we at Wiki are keen to avoid. Users who can block and ban newcomers without question and then fend them off without providing good rerasons are exactly the calibre of sanshonest leaders we require and should you ever require any help with blocking hundreds of thousands of people - please feel free to call on any facist aligned admin at any time.

I'm honoured. It fills me with pride to know that lunatic conspiracy theorists are put off by my "facism". Perhaps if I keep it up you'll all piss off and we can get back to building a useful encyclopedia--Jac16888Talk 23:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Tbranch

Hi Jac1688, I have User:Tbranch's user page on my watchlist, and was therefore notified that you had changed this user rights. Could you please explain why you did this? Thanks in advance, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 02:11, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I removed a few from confirmed listed on Wikipedia:Database reports/Inactive users in user groups, simply because they were granted it and never made any more edits. If they decide to come back it won't be difficult for them to just make a few more edits to be autoconfirmed--Jac16888Talk 02:18, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Your check was incorrect. Tbranch was made a Confirmed user on 08:46, 29 July 2009, and made an edit to a semiprotected page on 21:40, 29 July 2009. I was the one who asked for him to be given Confirmed permissions so that he could edit this article which is in his area of expertise. When someone's demonstrates a very high level of expertise in just a few edits, as this person has done, we should do try to make it easier for them to continue editing. You just made it more difficult. Please flip the switch back. Regards, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 02:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
One edit, then nothing for the next 8 months. If he decides to come back, which doesn't seem likely, he will be autoconfirmed after 6 edits to anything/anywhere, adding him to confirmed group on the offchance he will come back is pointless--Jac16888Talk 02:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Taking an expert user away from the confirmed group is what is pointless. Tbranch (talk · contribs) is an expert on blue whales. The blue whale article is often semi-protected. I believe it is against the interests of the encylopedia to require an expert on blue whales to make edits to non-blue-whale pages so that he can edit our article on blue whales. I think you've made a mistake, and you should correct it. I don't want to take this issue to AN/I, but I will if I have to. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 02:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Maybe he is an expert, maybe not, you're missing the point. Tbranch is not editing, and has not since last july. If he comes back and wants to edit semi-protected pages again then I'll restore the right, threatening to "take it to ANI" is not going to change my mind, if you really want to go ANI and create drama over the user-right of an editor with four edits last july then be my guest--Jac16888Talk 02:48, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. How did you know what is the year of the Gregorian calendar when in the article there were years in Islamic calendar? I used [14], but you changed the year. Kubek15 write/sign 15:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't the Islamic calendar, it was the Iranian calendar. The values might be off by a year because I used our year articles e.g. 1983, if you scroll down there is a "1983 in other calendars" box, which lists its Iranian year as 1361 – 1362, but without knowing the month I can't be more accurate. Your figures were obviously wrong because if you google image her name, [15], shes clearly not in her 60's. Add to that she's Iranian and that the dates make more sense as 80's/90's and 2000's. --Jac16888Talk 15:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comments. I'm not sure how to amplify on what I've already said on the talk page. Restoration of potentially defamatory or poorly sourced material is strictly forbidden per the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy. If any of the editors in question would be willing to pause to discuss this material before restoring it, we could probably have a civil dialogue; but policy is clear, and in my opinion rightly so, that it is not necessary to win consensus before removing dubious content from biographies of living persons. Quite the opposite. With Greg L and Eepeefleche's determination that they will revert efforts to clean up the serious BLP problems with this article, I feel that my hands are tied-- for more, please see Eepeefleche's talk page. Thanks. --causa sui (talk) 18:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
I understand your concern, and in 99% of circumstances I would be saying the same things you are. I will accept your advice and take this up through dispute resolution since I would like to have final resolution to this issue.

Deport Racism Organization

Please undelete Κίνηση Απελάστε το Ρατσισμό and rename it to "Deport Racism Organization".

Although it is in Greek, a quick Google translate shows that it is clearly not "A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content".

An org that has been around since 2007 is likely to have RS available, with a bit of effort.

If this was about a USA org, would you have speedied it?

I was about to have a stab at starting a translation; there might be sources in Greek - I don't know, and maybe the PROD will work - but it's not CSD.

Thanks,  Chzz  ►  12:48, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

(ec)I've restored it to User:Chzz/Deport Racism Organization, but for the record it absolutely was speediable, the translation did not show any way in which it was significant, in fact the only content about the group rather than its aims/objectives etc was that it was founded in 07 and is greeks against fascism.

Technology Cider Enquiry

Dear Jac,

I am writing regarding the deletion decision you made against the page I created about "Technology Cider". Technology Cider is an active official students' organisation at the British University in Egypt. Creating this page would help the students to share all their events, achievements, and news. Eventually, they may be recognised as one of the best/active students' group globally. This is the link of the group on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=115572015139178&ref=ts

I am hoping to reconsider your decision, or to advice further of how to get that page notably.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Many thanks, Heba Elshandidy — [Unsigned comment added by Heba elshandidi (talk • contribs).]

Firstly there are millions and millions of student groups worldwide, we can't have an article on every single one based on the fact that they may one day be well known. Wikipedia articles are not for the sharing of events and news, if your group is notable enough for an article then that fact needs to be demonstrated in veriable reliable third party sources--Jac16888Talk 23:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
