File:Sayyid ummar bafaqi.jpeg

Hi JJMC89. Can you check to see whether File:Sayyid ummar bafaqi.jpeg isn't just a re-upload of File:Sayed Ummer Bafakhy.jpg that you deleted earlier today? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marchjuly. It is one of the three files that were uploaded at the other title. — JJMC89 00:29, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Alfa Romeo logo.png

Hi JJMC89. JJMC89 bot has tagged File:Alfa Romeo logo.png with {{orfurrev}} delete, but the recently updated version might be too different to be an acceptable overwriting of the file. Do you think the file should be split and HISTMERGEd? -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marchjuly. It should have its history split. Unfortunately, overwrites like this happen quite often. — JJMC89 00:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. Would you mind splitting the file and doing the history merge? It probably should be done before the older version is deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:51, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Susan Crown edit

what is non public data: If I find a bit of data on Google in the listings and I put that bit of data in an article here why does your bot "revert it": remove it and put back the old incorrect bit of data (I am asking to know your policy here so I do not again waste my time trying to edit when it is against wikipolicy, I have no intention of going back and trying to fix the edit again, however what I am talking about is in the records & you can certainly go back and fix it: re: Susan Crowder birth date), please provide info re current policy in american english John5Russell3Finley (talk) 12:05, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi John5Russell3Finley. I'm not JJMC9, but I'll try to answer your question. First, just for reference, new posts typically are added to the bottom of talk pages; in addition, you should also try to add a section heading for new posts because it helps to keep it separated from other previously made posts on the page. Most talk pages have "New section" tab near or at the top of the page and clicking on this will open a new editing when where you can add your post.

Next (and more importantly), the edit you made here wasn't undone by JJMC89 bot, but was undone by a different editor named Edwardx with this edit. You can also see this in the article's page history. Edwardx reverted the article back to the version that existed prior to your edit (which was the version edited by JJMC89 bot), and the reason they did this was because the changes you made were uncited. If you'd like to discuss this with Edwardx, you can do so at Talk:Susan Crown: just go to the article's talk page and click on "New section" at the top and add your post. You can then you add Template:Please see to User talk:Edwardx to let them know about the discussion, but it's better to actually discuss things on the article's talk page because it makes it easy for others to participate and it helps to keep all discussion about the article in one place.

Finally, all Wikipedia articles require sourcing for article content using citations to reliable sources so that it can be verified; this is particularly true for articles about living people per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. When it comes to anything that might be seen as contentious like dates of birth or places where people are born, citations to reliable sources are required or the content can be removed. Google search results in and of themselves are not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia for its purposes, but you can often use Google to find more specific reliable secondary sources to support article content. So, if you've found a specific reliable secondary source that can be used to verify Crown was born in 1958 and also born in Chicago, you should add information about that source to your article talk page post. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:52, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ACC

I mailed the admin's list almost 3 weeks ago, asking about my request sent in January. The status is still not clear to me - from my point of view there are still over 36 requests waiting and I'd be a good fit to chip away at a few, considering previous experience on newcomer assistance on IRC and onwiki. If you've discussed a specific concern regarding my request , I'd like to hear it. Thanks, NotAGenious (talk) 07:56, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
