January 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Rob Parker (sports journalist), you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. -- Luk ^talk 21:28, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hahaha sorry I went a bit too fast while trying to warn the offenders. I was trying to warn the IP below you :D. Sorry again! -- Luk ^talk 21:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Stephen W. Burns Would you please put your information on talk:Stephen W. Burns? It really should not go in the article. That is definitely important to have Wikipedia accurate. I did note that his name is spelled with and "e" on IMDB. Thanks for your contributions! Jim1138 (talk) 07:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)" Both IMDB & Wikipedia are known for their many inaccuracies, but IMDB is more honest and humble about it. I gave you the sources illustrating the "Stephen" misspelling, which you are of course free to disregard, as is usual for wikipedia, which is why I usually disregard it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.18.248.246 (talk) 18:38, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Carolyn Jarvis

Vandalism on Carolyn Jarvis? What are you talking about? It's been part of this Wiki article for years that she used to be on "The Lofters", and it's a very well known fact, the show was viewed by tens of thousands of Canadians on the Life Network. All I did was reverse an edit by someone else, who for all we know could be Carolyn herself trying to hide her embarrassing past. I'll even add the reference if you insist to imdb and a youTube video where she is clearly seen. Carpet Crawler 2009 (talk) 07:51, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle reversion

Hi, could you stop your reversions for a moment? I'd like to discuss a few. Prodego ^talk 08:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you reported two editors to AIV. One was 180.215.44.122 (talk · contribs). When you reported this editor, several of the edits you listed as vandalism, upon inspection turned out to be the IP correcting misinformation to the article ([1] [2]). Another was 109.153.143.149 (talk · contribs) where I cannot see how you determined their edits added false info. Could you please explain your actions in both of these cases? Thanks, Prodego ^talk 08:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see, the first was huggle's fault (and someone else's mistake), while the second I do think you should be more careful about, but I can understand. Thanks. Prodego ^talk 21:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other users' Vandalism

Hi Jim,

Regarding this revision: [3] and its user talk warning [4]

Please be careful when calling other users' edits vandalism. In this case, the user (User:TheKingsq) is brand new to Wikipedia and their edit, while probably not helpful, does not really constitute vandalism. New users tend to appreciate gentle guidance and constructive encouragement while vandalism warnings are likely to make them stop editing. This user has even asked for help. It appears TheKingsq doesn't understand what the image caption should display but provided an accurate edit summary and even made an (admittedly misguided) attempt at referencing his revision. --Carbon Rodney 17:35, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Home owners association

I have placed my views on the discussion page of the article. --IvarT (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} eocsap — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKingsq (talk • contribs) 02:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you are trying to get the attention of Jim1138 but you used the helpme template. When you use this template it calls everyone who monitors the helpme category to wherever it is placed. It is thus only for use when you want some third party to come by. By contrast, whenever you edit a person's talk page, that particular user will get an unmistakable day-glo orange bar at the top of every page they see telling them that they have new messages on their talk page, which persists until they visit it, so its all you need.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: January 2012

Hello, user Jim1138. Thanks for the reminder but as you can see, I did put the word "unexplained removal of content", only that I'm quite lazy (if that's my old bad behaviour) to keep doing this all the time. So I found a new way to revert back the previous user's edit, so I didn't notice that.

However, if you wish to know why I revert that, please see this: Talk:Arab_Spring#Parties_to_the_civil_conflict_and_Lead_figures. Everything can be discuss there. I reject what you quote me about "Your content removal does not appear constructive". You may not follow us but basically what I'm trying to do is I'm reverting illegitimate infobox to civil conflict with illogical arrangement of leaders and the party figures. And that this goes against the policy of WP:RS.

But as I need to say again, thanks for the reminding. 60.49.63.145 (talk) 06:16, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LIST of EV Manufacturer

I tried to add a new manufacturer to this specific list of manufacturer of EV charger, however this is considered spam. I cannot understand why as this new line has similar content as the others (a short decription with a link to the webpage). Could you tell me the reason? Thank in advance you for your answer.

ISO on machine vision should REALLY refer to film speed and not the International Standards Organization!

ISO in context of machine vision refers to film speed and not a standards body! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.181.240 (talk) 01:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC) http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User_talk:83.134.181.240#All_right--83.134.181.240 (talk) 02:10, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gleniffer High School

Hi Jim, nice vandal patrolling. I must ask, how was the edit here not adhering to NPOV? --Bryce (talk | contribs) 08:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why on earth are you reverting my changes on my userpage?

The title is clear enough. Raijithetroll (talk) 02:07, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert without verifying

You have reverted my changes to The Oath of the Vayuputras page. The page was wrongly marked as a redirect to the first novel in the trilogy and I removed that to make an article for the page itself which refers to the third novel in the trilogy. Kindly be patient while someone is mending a page. Thanks Noopur28 (talk) 10:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking Edits

Hi Jim,

Sorry about the previous edits! And quite frankly, labeling them as disruptive is offensive! I think the public needs to learn the truth instead of being brainwashed by what the media puts out as the truth. One more thing, one of the statements that was posted on the page Kashmir conflict was undoubtedly untrue--that was not a "disruptive" edit [I forgot what it actually was]. Oh, and one last thing: Can you send me a link of a free blog that I can use to give the real truth to the world? Thanks and I won't waste my time anymore trying to inform people of the real truth on Wikipedia! Sorry about not posting this in a message. I did not know how to do that.

No Problem

I had to change my name because the "troll" part that got me perma banned, and I logged in through my old user name, a stupid mistake. Thanks and sorry if I caused you inconvenience. Raijithetroll (talk) 21:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the page Michael Nutter

Hello.

I would like to kindly state that it appears that you have reverted my edit by mistake. Another anonymous editor had posted, according to the user Drmies (talk · contribs) "unverified and irrelevant BLP info", as well as other unverified information (see edit history). The (anonymous) editor had then reverted Drmies, apparently in bad faith. I had then reverted what I believed to be a bad faith revert.

Please let me know if you still believe I have done something which was not compliant to policy.

Thanks. 75.53.212.214 (talk) 00:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Reply to message at User talk:75.53.212.214): Thank you. 75.53.212.214 (talk) 01:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to my change in the Battle of Mogadishu (1993) page, the final UN withdrawl was in March (1995) and not March (1994) you might be mistaken for the US Army Withdrawl date and is verified in many accounts and records, try and search for Operation United Shield where U.S. Marines were re-deployed by president clinton back too somalia to cover the UNs final withdrawl from the war torn region. As the the United Nations by then declared it a failed state or lost cause. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.132.162.148 (talk) 09:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Scott Pilgrim vs World"

I'm writing to let you know that I removed your G7 on Scott Pilgrim vs World and reverted to a redirection. Since other editors pointed out that the page should be made a redirection, G7 (which requires there to be only one significant contributor) does not apply here. Zzarch (talk) 01:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hobbyfarm

I've blocked quail man for 48 hours. The edits seem childish rather than really malicious, so I've not imposed a longer block at this stage. With luck he will realise that there are sanctions, and reform. If not, the next block can be indefinite. Let me know if your unhappy with my action, otherwise it's just for info Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

user:Indiawale

Do you have more detail on what was pasted from usa.today [5]? Materialscientist (talk) 05:18, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its Ok, thanks. I was checking for copyvio before blocking him, couldn't find it (thus asked) and blocked anyway for edit warring. Materialscientist (talk) 05:37, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact is that it is amazing. How is that not a fact? I don't know of any one who would say it's not. Any ways forget it, its just a small edit. Thanks. JoJaEpp (talk) 00:31, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I need something to cheer myself up for working late into the night

Can you please give me a Beer for You, Cookie for You, and a Coffee for You? Also, I think I did a really good and hard job of keeping Wikipedia almost vandal free, so can you please give me some anti vandalism banisters including the The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar and other anti vandal awards and also a Happy New Year! banister. Sorry for the big request, but I really need something to cheer me up for working so hard. Have a nice day, Wikih101 (talk) 00:28, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please just give me at least one?

Can you please just give me a barnstar or two at least please? I am pretty sure that others won't be suspicious if you just give me one or two barnstar. Thanks. Wikih101 (talk) 01:35, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I mean barnstar, sorry! :) Wikih101 (talk) 01:40, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wasnt uncivil

Thanks for pointing me towards the civility page, but it seems none of it applies to anything I said. Thanks 74.132.152.205 (talk) 08:44, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012

That was quite the opposite. User:Eraserhead1 (and you too) removed content from that page with no reason. I acted to add the materials back. 42.3.2.237 (talk) 09:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Legal financing industry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Judges (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Editing of English Language

You sent me a message (User talk:194.197.118.196) reminding me of the rules regarding use of the english language, i had edited a page so the spelling said "centre" instead of "center". The rules state that if the page refers to an American subject, it should be American, and if English, then in English. The page referred to a battle in which England took part, therefore I changed the spelling to British English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.197.118.196 (talk) 12:19, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
