3RR Chris Kyle

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Chris Kyle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

That's cute. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Request

I know it would be unorthodox, but is it possible to put a protection against IP editing on the Chris Kyle talk page? The same individual is continuing to IP hop and is now removing the RfC. I expect they won't stop. -- WV 18:55, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Not common, no, but entirely possible. Since I'm involved, I'd rather not use the tools on the page. Just put a request in at WP:RFPP. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:59, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Never mind. I see it's protected now. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment

I disagree that my comment wasn't constructive. I encourage you to patrol the Wikipedia pages claiming his music is "satanic", or calling him "evil" as diligently as you have my note.

I'm a lover of everything Prince ever did. And my observations of his genius, hidden or blatant, coincidence, or not, are constructive, and relevant to others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christeyena (talkcontribs) 19:34, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Photographs

What is the protocol for putting photos onto a bio page/ do they have to be public domain? Also what is the rule on adding external links? thanks,Cydorsm Cydorsm (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

The main rule for adding images is that they must free (Public Domain) or have a license for free for reuse. See WP:IUP for more information. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 15:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Block

Hello,

Sorry for my english, first. I saw you have blocked User:Télécom ParisTech groupe 11, and that @Yamla: refused the username change. I'm a sysop on french wikipedia (fr:User:Jules78120) and I created this account on frwiki for this project: fr:Wikipédia:Projets pédagogiques/Télécom ParisTech. There are only two persons behind the account, and they are well identified. I saw Wikipedia:Username_policy#Usernames_implying_shared_use: there is no way to unblock the account and rename it? On frwiki shared accounts are not forbidden, especially for school and university projects (if there is no abuse).

Best regards, Jules78120 (talk) 14:59, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

No, shared accounts are not allowed on the English Wikipedia (see WP:NOSHARE). Here's more information on getting a username changed: WP:UNC. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 15:46, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Ok, I don't really understand the purpose of this rule, but ok. Not very convenient, with the SUL, to have different rules regarding usernames depending on the language . Have a nice day, Jules78120 (talk) 16:12, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Editing Automated Retail

Hello!

Hi there. I'm new to Wikipedia and have been emailing with someone at the info desk to work through this. It seems we need to submit changes to the Talk page instead of editing which I now can't do because I'm blocked, and I don't want to change the username because we are making it clear that we are the organization who just wants to edit incorrect information. Can you please unblock me so I can submit the changes through the Talk page? Thank you. 47.19.215.5 (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure which user you are referring to, but no, I won't unblock you. Organizations are not allowed on Wikipedia; only individual users. Please see WP:CORPNAME. You can request a user name change or unblocking on your talk page. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 15:39, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Moura Budberg

I have not visited WP for several months, and every time I do there seems to be another unpleasant surprise awaiting me!

You sent the deletion notification to me, and someone now has deleted her, without waiting for any comments. My email address is on file, so someone could at least have notified me - this is not rocket science! I agree I initially created a short article on her, which was definitely not lifted from any other source, as I am careful about this. I know that a number of people in different countries modified and expanded the article after that from newspaper sources, personal knowledge, etc. If someone lifted some text from an article, you should merely have deleted that section. In my view, she is/was interesting and notable, and definitely deserves a WP article. Of course, since the material has now been deleted, I can't check who contributed which section, but you or your colleagues should definitely have done that before taking this drastic step. She will be missed! Jpaulm (talk) 23:06, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't send you the deletion notification, I merely deleted it, because it was cued up at WP:CSD. However, it is not standard practice to notify users by any other means than their talk page. In fact, I've never heard of anyone doing that. Having said that, you're absolutely correct, the article probably should not have been deleted outright. After a bit of research, I was able to restore everything back to August of 2015. It was after that when copyrighted material was added, so it should be good to go now. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 23:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Many thanks for your prompt action! I am very impressed! So now, do we have to do anything to remove it from the AfD queue (if that's the right term)? Thanks in advance, and best regards. Jpaulm (talk) 14:11, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
No, it's no longer up for deletion. It was a candidate for speedy deletion because of the copyright issues. Now that those have been removed, there shouldn't be any other possibilities of it getting deleted. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 23:55, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
That's great! Many thanks for your prompt actions and clear responses! Jpaulm (talk) 02:35, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on User talk:MicrosoftIntelS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- samtar talk or stalk 17:46, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Edit war?

Pardon me, but I don't know about any edit war I was involved in. I've been reverting bad edits, fighting vandals, and making UAA reports for the past hour. Can you please explain what edit war I was involved in? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 19:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

And incidentally, the user i was reverting had created a promotional article now being considered for deletion. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 19:34, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict)You have three reverts [1], [2], [3] to this page. None were for vandalism, which is an exception to the WP:3RR rule. In fact, you didn't give a reason for the reverts or a issue awarning to the user for your reverts. That's the definiton of an WP:EDITWAR. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:38, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
And incidentally, I'm the one who listed it at WP:AFD. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:39, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Okay. I understand what you're saying, but I was simply removing promotional content (I do agree that could be seen as an edit war). What should I do in the future to avoid similar issues? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 19:45, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Don't worry too much about it. You obviously had good intentions. However, to answer your question, first of all, I wouldn't use rollback for pretty much anything but blatant vandalism. You can still revert, but explain why in your edit summary. Even better, communicate with the user on what is wrong with their edits. If the user continues, then report them to an appropriate notice board (WP:AIV, WP:ANI, WP:AN3, etc.). Good luck! Jauerbackdude?/dude. 20:26, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Cheers! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Archiving ANI threads

Please avoid archiving ANI threads before at least 24 hours after close. At least 24 hours are need to allow all interested parties to view the close, regardless of time zones, sleep patterns, work patterns, and log-in patterns. The easiest way to avoid premature archiving is to Google utc time, subtract one day from that, and then avoiding archiving any threads which were closed after that time. Thank you, Softlavender (talk) 23:27, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I knew that, but I miscalculated (or clicked too quickly). Jauerbackdude?/dude. 13:04, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User talk:Indian Yoga Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

I don't have UTRS access yet, so I can't see the actual request. With only three edits, all of them vandalism, I don't have high hopes for the editor, but it's easy enough to block them again if they continue. I'll defer to your judgement. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 15:32, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Question

How can I get the history of my father's business on wikipedia without it being taken down? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keatwrig001 (talkcontribs) 15:18, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Your organization needs to meet the notability requirements for organizations on Wikipedia. Like I said, this is an encyclopedia, not a business directory or webhost. Ask yourself this: if you went to the encyclopedia section in the library, would you expect to find your organization as entry in the Encyclopædia Britannica? I doubt it. So, why are you trying to add it here other than as a promotion? Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:22, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

CRF has made many advances in marketing and has also been recognized around the country. It is no different than recognizing any other business. Why then would CVS have one of these. If I did not know what something was then i might look in an encyclopedia. If someone did not know what CRF was then they could look it up and see the history and importance of this. There is no promotional reason why this should be on wikipedia. I don't see many people going to wikipedia finding out out to fundraise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keatwrig001 (talkcontribs) 20:21, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Instead of arguing with me, why don't you take the time to read the Wikipedia policies on what makes an organization notable? See WP:ORG. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 13:10, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

KF Airfoils

It seems prudent to provide a link to the rule violated by the wording in the image. Regardless, I have removed the speculative comments from the image and re-uploaded it. There should no longer be an issue with it as it is documenting known variations of the KFm family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Btreecat (talkcontribs) 17:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

You're discussing this with the wrong user. I'm not the one who had an issue with the image. I reverted you adding it once because you were in a slow WP:EDITWAR over it. In WP:BRD, someone was BOLD and REVERTED the image addition. After that, a discussion needed take place on the talk page to reach a consensus before reverting it back again... and again. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 17:43, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
Yes exactly my point. Talk before removal. Not the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Btreecat (talkcontribs) 18:00, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
No, not always. In this case, there seemed to be legitimate concerns about the content of the picture where it made more sense to not have it included until those concerns were addressed. Also, please indent and sign your posts. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:17, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Jauerback

Jauerback, I would like for you to be nicer to people in the talk pages. I understand how important Wikipedia rules are, but you do not seem to undertand that other users are people too. You do not understand that other users are new and instead of welcoming them, you tell them they are "ruining the page" and blocking them. Imagine if that happened to you. Would you be happy? Also your use of informal terms, such as "messing up", is not appreciated. Jauerback, you are a good user, but it would be appreciated if you would 'lighten up' and be nicer to users. Jauerback, I hope you take this into account --Domata789 (talk) 14:36, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Could you lower the protection on Sam Bradford to semi-protection or even ECP protection? See Talk:Sam_Bradford#Protected_edit_request_on_3_September_2016_2. Dat GuyTalkContribs 18:35, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

information Administrator note I've taken a look here and agree WP:30/500 protection (ECP) would work. The BLP violations after you tried semi were from editors who aren't extended confirmed. ~ Rob13Talk 18:54, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
As you don't appear to be presently around and factual inaccuracies currently remain on the page, I've lowered the protection level to allow extended confirmed editors to correct them. I would not consider it wheel-warring for you to reverse that action, but I do think 30/500 is an adequate protection level here. ~ Rob13Talk 20:28, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I'll do my best to improve it! AVC12 (talk) 12:56, 5 September 2016 (UTC)AVC12

Hi again, I have modified the page now. Would you be able to tell me if it's more acceptable? User:AVC12/UniAdmissions Many thanks for your help, AVC12 (talk) 11:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)AVC12

Although it's much better, I don't see it surviving an WP:AFD. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 16:59, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok, anyrhing in particular because I cna't see much difference with this page?? https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Oxbridge_Applications AVC12 (talk) 19:34, 7 September 2016 (UTC)AVC12

To be honest, that other article isn't a great example and may not fare any better (also see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). The biggest problem both articles have is notability. There are no reliable sources that are written about either organization. If the sources listed were all clickable and readable (unlike the Bloomberg article, which isn't), there are mere mentions (if any) of the company. In fact, both articles use the same sources. Honestly, ask yourself, if you went to the library and opened up "Volume U" of Encyclopædia Britannica, would you expect to see an article about UniAdmissions? I doubt it. Finally, you need to get rid of a lot (most/all) of the external links that you're using throughout it. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 10:26, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Jauerback. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Request for Bridgeport article protection

Hey there. Sorry to bug you but there are some unregistered IP users who are vandalizing the Bridgeport article with the addition of the word 'affluent', which is not only untrue, but also violates NPOV, given that affluency isn't technically a standardized measure, but is generally relative to one's own interpretation. Regardless of the semantics though, it is hardly classifiable as an 'affluent' area... and besides that I live hereand am well aware of it's middle-working class status, it is also clearly reflected by the relatively low median income listed in the infobox. Thank you for your assistance. Ryecatcher773 (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey, sorry, I just now saw this. That would explain why I looked at the message below this one and thought "Didn't I already see this?" Anyway, unfortunately, it's technically not vandalism, but a content dispute, which seems to have quieted down anyway. However, in the future, try going to WP:RPP for a faster response.

MLB playoffs page

see this link [1] that the home team is first, because they won. Jdavi333 (talk) 17:58, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

That has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia. I honestly don't care all that much, but if you're right, I suppose you should start correcting all the previous years: 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, etc... Oh, and don't forget the NLDS, too: 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, etc... Jauerbackdude?/dude. 20:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
But that page is written by MLB themselves so obviously that's what they hold to be the correct way. What happened in previous years is unfortunate, but the correction has to start somewhere. Jdavi333 (talk) 01:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
Once again, that has nothing to do with Wikipedia, but you go right ahead and do what you think is best. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 11:52, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Jauerback/Archives,

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)

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Jauerback/Archives.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

User:2600:387:5:807:0:0:0:82

User:2600:387:5:807:0:0:0:82 is abusing her talk page. CLCStudent (talk) 21:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Meh. Not that big of a deal. They're allowed to remove messages and/or blank their talk page. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:05, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
But when she blanked it she wrote "Tikeem!", which is the name of a long-term vandal. CLCStudent (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Per this edit, is it possible to change the protection to simply block IP editors/Require autoconfirmed or confirmed access? The edit warring seems to come from one person using multiple IPs constantly ignoring other editors, failing to use even basic layout, and constantly 3 reverting and even four reverting [4][5][6][7]. In the last round of edit warring a second anonymous IP seemed to show up to war with the first. Hard to even try to achieve consensus when it is impossible to tell who is saying what, maybe having to identify themselves with accounts would be a first step. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely. It's changed now. I only fully protected it as it looked like that was the last protection done on it, so I followed suit. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:15, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, 8 hours after the protection expired the two IP-hoppers (The 117.213.18.84 IP-hopper from Kerala, India and a 109.78.9.237 "Irish IP-hopper) are back at it edit warring. 117.213.18.84 has already WP:3RR'ed but by the time I finish writing this both probably have at the rate they are going. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 23:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
Fountains of Bryn Mawr might know and recognize a new update is made from a previous update of his, as he have dealt in the past with the same irish ip i am facing it and truly it requires admin intervention. But its a below the belt tactic to hop on accusations created for railroading by others and apparently you missed irish ips (51.37.85.124, 51.37.42.97, 51.37.69.165). Jauerback, please review if actions after this edit is an improvement or not. 117.213.18.84 (talk) 23:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

For your attention

Hi there. I received a notification at the top of my page that I had been mentioned by another editor, so with excitement I went to see what it was, and it was User talk:BatteryIncluded, who you recently blocked for making personal attacks, telling me to f-off.

The sockpuppet this editor is referring to is in regard to a message I left today at User talk:EdJohnston#Concern.

I really do try to avoid this childish stuff. Thank you for your help. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:16, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, someone on your IP address made this edit, which was not appropriate for a Wikipedia article, so it got reverted. That was the message you were seeing. If it wasn't you, or someone in your home, then you more than likely are operating from a dynamic IP, which means that your IP address changes every few hours/days/weeks. So, you may not ever even see this message if your IP address changes. With or without an account, this can be a common occurrence if someone disagrees with an edit you've made.
