Final Warning

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Don't vandalize my talk page! 172.6.238.220 (talk) 05:22, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure who is doing the vandalizing here. JWNoctis^talk 05:25, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

You are edit warring with me on my own talk page and issuing me warning spam over it. Stop harassing me. You should be apologizing. 172.6.238.220 (talk) 05:26, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Maybe you should note that editing what others wrote just because you could in a talk page is bad form. JWNoctis^talk 05:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't recall asking you what you consider good or bad form. I do know I can edit my talk page as I wish. 2602:30A:C06E:EDC0:F473:80F:6A73:9F72 (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 13:01, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll make sure to put that to good use. JWNoctis^talk 13:06, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron B. Del Mar

Thanks for restoring Bearcat's comment. I am not sure how managed to remove it in the first place. reddogsix (talk) 04:20, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

I see! JWNoctis^{talk to me} 04:22, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thanks for the edit rollback. It was a mistake from my end.

ManojAMK (talk) 13:16, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, and glad to hear! Happy editing! JWNoctis^{talk to me} 13:19, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Postscript: Said user was blocked for past and continued vandalism, some so sophisticated that they were buried in later edits. For all I could tell, it's a good thing to admit to one's mistake, and a worse thing to continue one's commitment at such mistake despite such admittance. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 11:34, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

i am not vandalising it

I happen to live where hankford oak is and I was trying to find out about it and I saw this so I thought I would put in a picture of hankford oak — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.166.61 (talk) 16:48, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

You have to upload your image first. Wikipedia does not support direct linking to external image. Also I understand you're not vandalizing, and do not forget to sign your message with ~~~~. Thanks. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 16:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, check your own talk page too. I left some useful stuff in there. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 16:55, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Wesley Snipes

Hi, I noticed you edited my additions to the page on Wesley. Please let me know what citations you need.

Blasian panda (talk) 22:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Please note that everything on all biography on living person articles are supposed to be backed by reliable, high-quality sources. Your addition about number of children and where one of them lived fell under such policy and you need to provide your sources for that info. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions! JWNoctis^{talk to me} 01:55, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Removed information that has a source.

This user flagged my content and removed the fact the Frank Pfenning is now fourth in the university squash ladder, despite the fact that my source was tagged at the end of the sentence. I believe this to be part of a vast conspiracy to inflate Frank's squash score in CMU's prestigious squash leader board.

As a side note, I have provided a source for the Omega Constant (also known as Adamchik constant) but have been unable to find a source that meets Avrim Blum's former in-person claim to be God Emperor of Candyland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.237.222.133 (talk) 02:26, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Noted. I'm so into that conspiracy that I'm half a globe away - You needed sources for that well-knownness for facial hair too. Don't forget to sign your message, also. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 02:31, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism?

"I noticed that you recently removed some content from 1958 Notting Hill race riots with this edit, without adequately explaining why" and "without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary." - please therefore read the edit summary - an explanation was given both times. 86.139.114.221 (talk) 15:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Please give an adequate source for that info - What you removed is apparently sourced. I apologize for not paying more attention, there's a vandalism wave going on. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 15:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

It's sourced that she was a prostitute - this was long after the incident, she was a housewife at the time. 86.139.114.221 (talk) 15:56, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Then link the source that stated the fact that she was a housewife back then in a <ref></ref> bracket, if possible. I understand how unpleasant it is to push this but, again, what you removed is sourced. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 16:01, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Neither the source nor the article establish the relevance or necessity of mentioning her former lifestyle. I have altered the phrase and the source. Keri (talk) 16:47, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Now it's looking much better. Thanks! JWNoctis^{talk to me} 00:12, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

NextMovie Studio

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (The company really exists, does not endorse anyone and was created with the goal that everyone can know what NextMovie Studios! I do not see it to be canceled because there are also sources.) --Tommasodisante (talk) 13:15, 11 May 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommasodisante (talk • contribs)

Then create an article for it when it actually meets WP:NCORP, and not now. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 13:27, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I do not understand anything of what you have written to me. Well I see you here on Wikipedia, there are pages of companies that no longer exist, and even that did not make even the story, explain to me why those not deleted but mine that opened in 2014 and although it is not an American company level the deleted? I do not think it makes much sense do not you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommasodisante (talk • contribs) 13:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Companies that no longer exist are not companies that are no longer notable - Notability is not temporary. Your company would have to pass at least the general notability guideline in order to have an article, and that means significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. Also, while there are articles that don't, they are generally discussed about then deleted as soon as they came to attention. I'm sorry, but the way I see it, your company would need to create something much more remarkable than a 5000-euro film that was not shown publicly and some good independent coverage before an article would be retained. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 13:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

William of Orange

Hi, It's a shame that you felt my minor comments were not constructive. But they were indeed accurate and truthful as anyone who is familiar with the Orange Order knows. Please stop deleting/vandalizing my comments. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.188.13.137 (talk) 02:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I see what you mean - But do not use Wikipedia itself as source, and do use reliable secondary sources directly instead. You may also wish to reduce the strength of your wording even though it might be truth, and be less judgemental. No vandalism was intended, if that's how you took it. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 04:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Rudi Garcia

Hello,

concerning the page you created on former AS Roma and Lille OSC manager Rudi Garcia ; I would like to point out that his name is actually Rudi Garcia, as this kind of accent on the i does not exist in France. Therefore he is officially known as Rudi Garcia. You should maybe specify that his original name, or the one of his father is written with the accent, but as he's born in France and is a french citizen I believe his name should be written without the accent. A good example of that is Luis Fernandez, his last name originally written Fernàndez became Fernandez. I see it as logical.

Thank you for you contribution, and hopefully your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB04:7D4:ED00:659A:18BC:E2F9:E211 (talk) 15:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello. You may wish to bring that up on that article's talk page, as I'm seeing sources indicating both. As this is a biography about living person, be sure to bring reliable source to back your edits. Also no, that page was not created by me - at that moment I only saw those changes inconsistent with title of the article and jumped to conclusion. For that, I apologize, but still, do bring reliable source. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 16:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Don't vandalize anybody's talk page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achalugo (talk • contribs) 19:41, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

{{re|Achalugo}}: I'm not sure who is doing the vandalizing here, but you do not go around calling anyone a neo-nazi and enemy of democracy without a reliable source here on Wikipedia. Thank you. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 01:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Ref Desk Antisemitic Troll. You don't need to warn, you can just report at AIV right away. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:55, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

I see, thanks! Now if only HG included a feature for checking against known long-term abusers, or a button for 4im - Guess it had to be all manual for now. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 03:03, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

I get you but I can't spot the change, exactly what did you revert and for what reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmatshipi (talk • contribs) 13:03, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

@Mmatshipi: I...don't know what happened there. Probably a glitch on my end. My apologies, and thank you for bringing this to my attention! JWNoctis^{talk to me} 14:42, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Cjoyceandres (talk) 07:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC) is it ok if i retrieve the content for the deleted page of 'nano coat anti heat solutions philippines? Thank you!

@Cjoyceandres: First, I'm not an administrator, second, that page was deleted for a reason you no doubt could see. I'm not the person you should be asking. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 13:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Gumball

Just an FYI, that wasn't a GF edit you reverted. That's a sock of a long-time vandal "Tikeem Cumberbatch" that has a weird fascination with me, and makes a lot of "poop" edits. It's a kid though obviously. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:13, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

@RickinBaltimore: I see, thanks...aren't they precious. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 13:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

E-auction 3.0

Hello JWNoctis. I have created article about new technology called E-auction 3.0, which was created in Ukraine. My article was firstly tagged with speedy deletion tag and than it was deleted. Can you please tell me what was wrong and provide to me some feedback. Thank you very much! Pasha1443 (talk) 09:33, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

@Pasha1443: You might want to read this, which means, among other things, everything on Wikipedia is supposed to have significant coverage in reliable independent sources before they would warrant an article, especially with companies and products -- Also see this. I admit I might have been a bit rash with my decision, but maybe you can find more independent sources, and submit a draft first.JWNoctis^{talk to me} 10:13, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Bonnie St. John

Hi there,

I'm new to Wikipedia and noticed your note today about the edit reversion you made to her page. I really appreciate you explaining everything. I'm actually Bonnie's social media manager and she asked that certain things be edited and/or removed (like details about her sexual abuse). Would you be able to restore the version I originally typed? I'll work on correcting all of the links.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoiiaB (talk • contribs) 02:55, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

@JoiiaB: You might want to know that your edit removed just about all of the in-line citations in the page and replaced them with bare number tags - It was for that reason I reverted your edit. As for those certain details, you might want to look into this. I would have removed those myself if those weren't reliably sourced from a news blog like that, but it's understandable why Bonnie wanted them to be removed. JWNoctis^{talk to me} 03:35, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi JWNoctis,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
