Incorrect correction
I attempted to update the album information on AC/DC's wiki page, as it was incorrect. I own a copy of their album T.N.T. which was the Australian release in 1975, prior to the U.S. compilation album High Voltage in 1976. I was accused of being incorrect and making "unconsstructive edits", which I take offence to. What is going on?
Hi there
pls tell me what was wrong with the redirection of Booty article
User.Yryriza/Pablo Picaso
I agree with you that displayed, or was on display is better, or even was on exhibit. I was correcting the popular misuse of "hung" more so than the choice of word that was picked.

Horse racing is usually a quiet backwater of wikipedia where we just get on with our hobby in a polite and co-operative way. When someone like the above IP editor pitches in I find it hard to handle, so thanks for your help. Tigerboy1966 00:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Copy
The page was extensively copied from www.cbec.gov.in.(117.192.132.255 (talk) 08:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC))
- Please leave an wp:edit summary. What I see is someone deleting good sourced content and references for no apparent reason. I am not about to take the time to figure out why it was deleted. Suggestion an edit summary of "removed content copied from www.cbec.gov.in" would help considerably. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Go ahead and look at the history of that article, this was long accepted fact. At someone point someone removed this... I could take photos of the DVD if you need them. 71.237.162.218 (talk) 03:01, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

- A search of the page didn't show any "cum" nor "dumpster". Also, the content can be entered by anyone, so it is not considered a reliable source (as is Misplaced Pages). Jim1138 (talk) 03:19, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

copyright
Are you seriously intentionally restoring material that is a direct and explicit copyright violation? I'll post links there, but in the mean time, reblank the content. I'd do it myself but have already reverted that page 3 times today. I have no idea what policy to link you offhand but I'm positive that intentionally restoring copyright violations isn't acceptable. On every page I've edited, all creative content (aka the episode descriptions) has been directly cut and paste from other websites that do not operate under free licenses. 24.7.103.207 (talk) 04:23, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- Having looked further at 3rr, removing a direct and obvious copyright violation is an exception to it. So I'm reblanking the pages, and listing them at WP:CP. You have intentionally restored direct copyright violations, which is confusing, against policy, and generally silly - please don't do so in the future. 24.7.103.207 (talk) 04:28, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

- Avoid doing so yourself. Your username and what you wrote above suggest a strong conflict of interest here. An article with that as its content would be quickly deleted; an edit with that content would quickly get deleted.
- Here's what I suggest:
- Get a new username (WP:RENAME)
- Be ready to work with other editors to make sure the conflict of interest doesn't affect your edits. It may be best to allow another editor to do so yourself.
- Third-party documentation is encouraged but not required.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

- I'm still learning the ropes of comuinicating on this site. I'm writing about my edits to the "aspergers Are US" page becuase though I appreciate the justice of the previous guys 108-etc. effort to acknowdlge my involvement in the founding of teh group, I realize he is more of a reckless hacker or dare say troll like, I then realized that though my additions had no backed up sources like they should, even though they are close to the truth, I thought the better of it and deleted the whole contraversy page becuase I no longer want to be asssociated with that group and the article section contained sensitive personal data that left me vulnerable. So hence why the article is as it is now, don't undo the changes this time.

Dear Jim1138, are you able to help with this page? It is being vandalised on a daily basis and keeping on top of it is becoming tiresome! Many thanks (Kazzi03 (talk) 15:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC))
- That probabaly is classifiable as a content dispute and lack of reliable sources. It does seem rather off-topic. I asked the IP to discuss it in talk. You might try starting a conversation in talk:Byron King-Noel, Viscount Ockham Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:29, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
YOU MY FRIEND ARE THE VANDAL. YOU TIRESOME TROLL. YOU HAVE INTERFERED WITH SO MANY PAGES ON WIKIPEDIA THAT YOU MUST HAVE PLENTY OF TIME ON YOU HANDS, NOT TO MENTION A POSSIBLE MENTAL CONDITION. YOU ARE SUCH A BAD MANNERED FRUSTRATING PERSON. I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH JIM WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO THE PEOPLE CONTRIBUTING ON PAGES BEFORE MAKING EDITS AND DELETIONS. ENGLISH MANNERS ARE ALWAYS BEST.

DEPT OF MODERN HISTORY, OXFORD — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.94.232 (talk) 02:21, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I agree Kazzi03 is a pest. He is pseudolearned and has very little to offer with real substance. He gets great gratification in posting inane articles that are of little interest (have a look at the views he gets) He also interferes with other posts and endlessly creates edits and deletions.He chats incessantly with other trolls. I agree he must have plenty of time on his hands. He is just a troublesome troll. Does this guy have any real live flesh and bone friends? Or does he just live in cyberland? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.94.232 (talk) 02:56, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- So, why do you keep adding that material? It does not seem relevant to the article title. If you are a scholar, it would seem that you would be compelled to add references. Yet you you have not done so even though information on how to do so has been added to your talk page. Jim1138 (talk) 03:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

- Is there any doubt that "Zboril Are Descendants Of Ilona Szilágyi " is not vandalism? Bozo1789 (talk) 09:23, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Above user is an obvious sockpuppet of User:Iaaasi whose edits are possible to revert on sight under WP:BAN. I am reverting edits made by the previously confirmed socpuppets of the site-banned user Iaaasi , and Bozo1789 began restoring them one by one with which he betrayed that he is also a sockpupet of Iaaasi.--Nmate (talk) 09:24, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- "Anyone is free to revert any edits made in defiance of a ban. By banning an editor, the community has determined that the broader problems, due to their participation, outweigh the benefits of their editing, and their edits may be reverted without any further reason. This does not mean that obviously helpful edits (such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism) must be reverted just because they were made by a banned editor, but the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert."

Badshah Munir Bukhari
Dear Jim1138, I hope you are well. I see that you very helpfully edited the Badshah Munir Bukhari page today. I have since had to highlight issues with this page on the WP:BLPNB. I am unsure about the assertion made by another editor on the Talk Page that the unhelpful and inaccurate edits are being made by the subject himself, or whether that is even relevant. But it does seem that someone wants continuously to create an inaccurate bio. Any chance you could please have another look? Thank you very much.George Custer's Sabre (talk) 11:04, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yes the UofP website lists him as Mr. His book review lists him as Dr. though it does not translate well via . Perhaps UofP should be notified? If you want to recommend the article for deletion, I believe that you need to post here: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. I don't think that it will be deleted from WP:BLPNB Probably should mention on WP:BLPNB about the deletion request as well. I warned the IP about his error. Thanks for taking care of that! Jim1138 (talk) 17:31, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Dear Jim1138, thank you kindly for having a look at this. When I started editing the page recently it really did read like a fan page. It has become a lot better. But, as you say, the issue of notability still needs to be looked at. Thanks again. You are a star. Regards,George Custer's Sabre (talk) 17:42, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Finlandia
Hi Jim1138 - You keep deleting a youtube link I'm adding to the Finlandia page saying it might infringe copyright. I am the producer of that video and the copyright owner. Misplaced Pages guidelines permit relevant youtube content to be linked. Eye of God (talk) 01:27, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- If you read the information I added to your talk page, it tells you what to do. If you don't add that information, I'll remove your edit again. Also, please remember to add talk to the bottom of the talk page: use the "New section" tab at the top if adding a new topic. Placing your comment in the middle of the page makes it hard to find. I moved it to the bottom. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:33, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Jim. Adding that link is not a copyvio. The video may be a copyvio, but the link itself is not. I personally don't think the link is helpful but that's no reason to edit war over its addition. See ya 'round Tiderolls 01:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jim. Neither the link itself nor the destination URL of the link are copyright, as you claim. I am totally complying with Misplaced Pages's guidelines, therefore am adding the link again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eye of God (talk • contribs) 02:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Weed
HI Jim1138, why can i not add For the illicit drug (see Template:Cannabis (drug)) ? It is just an easier way for people to access the illicit drug page. i have a feeling many people do not know what disambaguation means. I feel it would be appropriate to add it considering the amount of viewers of the page who are looking for the drug page but are unable to find it and do not think to click on the weed (disambiguation)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmarcus100 (talk • contribs)
- Well, why don't you put it back and see if anyone else objects. Please use the {{see also|Cannabis (drug)}} template? You are kind of making a mess of other things which I have been cleaning up BTW.... Jim1138 (talk) 07:57, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect revert
Your revert of my edit to Casu marzu cited me as adding unsourced content, however I added nothing to the article, I removed content which lacked relevance to the article, mostly a whole paragraph about the disease Myiasis (note: the article is about cheese). The health concerns section goes into far greater detail about the disease then what is needed for such a page, I didn't remove all reference to the disease, only the excessive description of it and reworked what was already there, and I did post all my reasons on the talk page prior to making the edit and included a link to the talk page section in the edit description. 203.51.44.37 (talk) 04:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK this is just stupid, it turns out you removed my comment on the talk page as "nonsense" around the same time you posted on my talk page to actually discuss such an edit on the talk page? How can I discuss such an edit if my discussion is removed? 203.51.44.37 (talk) 04:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for resolving that, I figured it was just a case of misreading. 203.51.44.37 (talk) 04:56, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Description + Notability
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate you not deleting the list, many of these women don't have Wiki pages, not because they're not notable, but because Italian American Women are not published as often as men.
I've been modeling it after http://en.wikipedia.org/Mexican_American_writers List of Mexican American Writers, because similarly, they are not recognized as freely as other American writers.
They have some red links too, what are your thoughts? Srdemuro (talk) 20:31, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
I attempted to add a description to List of Italian American Women Writers. Please let me know if this looks okay. I also am in the process of updating the list to add many of these writers' awards and honors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srdemuro (talk • contribs) 19:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- I would suggest copying the list to your sandbox such as user:Srdemuro/List of Italian American Women Writers - you can create that page. I would suggest putting a link to it in your user page: Srdemuro. Remove the red links from List of Italian American Women Writers and add them back to the article as you create the pages or add sources. You might discuss this with User talk:Drmies she is an admin and is helpful. Jim1138 (talk) 20:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Darrell Issa - Alleged Auto Thief
An how is something that has a correct link with references considered vandalism? My addition to the article was of a Neutral point of view (NPOV), Verifiable (V), and no original research (NOR).
http://www.npr.org/2012/04/16/150739985/house-investigator-issa-has-faced-allegations-as-well
Read the reference before you call someone out on being a vandal... all I am trying to do is update the article since my teacher referenced this in class today. In no way did I say he did it, I clearly posted the title of the section as "alleged" which is factually accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.191.145 (talk) 01:16, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- This is not vandalism - but it is copyright infringement as it's a direct copy of the source material. You have to write the article and use the source, not copy-and-paste other people's copyrighted content. Vertium (talk to me) 01:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see any "vandal" reference that I added to your talk page. The unregistered firearm incident is already on the page. The source of the vehicle theft arrest is not sufficient. It is a minor mention in the NPR article. Try an arrest report instead. BTW: your copy/paste of the material from NPR is a potential copyright violation you need to use your own words. See wp:copyright. Also, I dislike him as much as you do. Just don't mess up Misplaced Pages for it. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- What part? An arrest is notable, even if the charges were dropped when a legislator has a reputation for holding others to the highest standards of obeying the law. Irrespective of that, this was an opportunity to educate an editor rather than just warn. This didn't seem like there was much WP:AGF going on. Thanks for the civil dialogue! Vertium (talk to me) 01:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- The NPR reference to the arrest is a minor side note almost. From my experience, it really needs to be more substantially sourced. I am not sure what would qualify as "substantial", though. Perhaps an arrest report or more detailed article. What do you think? Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 01:47, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's unrealistic to expect we're going to find an arrest record from the 1970s, and NPR is a reputable news outlet. They are very unlikely to have put this story out until it had been verified and vetted. If it was false in any way, we would have seen the story pulled from the NPR website and a retraction made. I would consider this a reliable source and verifiable content. I still object to the editor's copyright infringment, but the story is worth reporting. I'm creating a section on Issa's page entitled "Arrests" which do not claim him to be a criminal (nor did the IP editor), but the arrests seem to be verified. Thank you. Vertium (talk to me) 02:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Given the number of people who hate him, any arrest record would be posted everywhere. Good luck with your adding that content to

Jim1138 definitely not by consensus because you are simply ignoring the facts, you don't want to accept it - it's your problem, but we must follow the truth and obey to the facts, i want justice, do not be unjust to yourself

Reverts at Al-Farabi
Just wanted to give you a friendly head's-up that you may want to back off a little with the reverts at Al-Farabi. I sympathize with you, understand that you're upholding consensus and all that, but some may not see it as that clear cut. I went through a bit of an ordeal a couple days ago for something similar, so just make your next move carefully. I would suggest going to AN/I if you think it needs admin attention. Cheers! Evanh2008 02:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up. It will probably get to the WP:AN3 or WP:AN/I. The reverts are one thing, the edit summaries are something else entirely. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 03:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

It seems that he is a long-term abuser on Chinese Misplaced Pages. I don't know why he vandalized pages here. MakecatTalk 10:13, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |
Greetings
Hello Jim1138. I noticed where you responded to a new users help request. I think it is great that you show concern for assisting new users. I did want to share a view on your advice that should be slightly refined. When you suggest the user should copy a developed article onto a page that is actually incorrect. The draft should always be moved, never copied! This is the only way to preserve the edit history which is an important part of every page. I just wanted to share that slight change in perspective with you and I hope you are not offended with my manner. Sincerely - My76Strat (talk) 20:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- I suggested copied so that the redirect would still exist. I would not have suggested copying it if the article was new. Given that, should it be/have been moved? Seems moot now as User talk:PinkShinyRose appears to have given up: Talk:Flag disposal. I don't think User talk:IShadowed's comment on PinkShinyRose's talk was supportive.

- I left a message for the user on the redirect talk page and effected their suggestion as it proved sound. I don't want to parse IShadowed's motives beyond the constraints of AGF. It is clear that people skills are learned and some excel where others do not. The entire gist of my previous comment is simply to not feed mis-information. It's really an innocent slip to say copy when move is more correct, but it is better than if later someone asks the user why they copied a page to a new title instead of move and for them to say they were told to do it this way. And a WP:HISTMERGE is a rather cumbersome correction to effect. Based on your manner, and good people skills, I presumed you would rather maintain the high ground and therefor shared this observation with you. To clarify, the system would reject the attempt to move the page because of the redirect and the fact that no two articles can maintain the same title, at the same time. It requires an admin delete the redirect leaving a summary to the effect: "Delete redirect to make way for page move". Naturally if there was some reason not to create the article under that title, the admin would advise the user at that time which is still less of a bite that outright rolling them back. And if they do delete the page to make way, that serves a clear indication that the subsequent move is proper. So as it happens in this case, the best practice is actually best. I don't feel I've wasted a word sharing this with you. Cheers - My76Strat (talk) 21:53, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- I apologize if my comment appears out of line. I should have looked at your Misplaced Pages tenure and experience before posting that comment. I feel a bit foolish for that error. Best regards - My76Strat (talk) 03:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- My "tenure" is mostly many clicks with Huggle. Your comments were (and are always) quite welcome and educational. My main concern at that point was PinkShinyRose getting trounced. Thanks again for your instruction! Jim1138 (talk) 03:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
