Hi there
pls tell me what was wrong with the redirection of Booty article
Hello Jim1138, can you please tell me how to message you. I'm new to all this Misplaced Pages stuff, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I'll see you over on Louis Fenton's page soon. Cheers! Rictorious.

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.

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, I deleted the consideration for deletion; the page has already been deleted and there is no requirement to discuss whether it should get deleted or not. In the future, I will provide an explanation if I do this, so thank you for alerting me. For your information, I created that page and wished to delete it, because the issue was not relevant anymore.

editing on a page you messaged me about
I have documented proof that what I edited was approved by a court of law. The persons page I was editing continuously lies about a relationship that never happened for the purpose of reckless attachment. Its all a media ploy. Zero factual evidence supporting her claim. So, moving forward, as she adds her lies for the media, I have the right to delete them. Also, there is no difference between her posting fake marriage information that NEVER happened, and the links of bad press describing her personal life character of being a snake and media whore. Slander is not something taking lightly on the internet in 2012, almost 2013 and she is 100% slanderous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.112.64.32 (talk • contribs)

Joanna Clapps Herman
Hi Jim. I created a Wiki article for Joanna Clapps Herman back in July. It was deleted because she was deemed not notable. I was hoping I could try again, I found some additional citations and believe it could add to her notability, especially as an Italian American woman speaker/scholar/ creative writer. Can you give me some advice as to how I can try again? Thanks so much! Srdemuro (talk) -Sam

Balija
There are a lot of wrong quotations on the article Balija, which is a major Telugu speaking Hindu caste. Books written by authors belonging to other castes, other religions sometimes would be insulting to Balija caste. So when I removed some quotations, lines on Balija caste page, there was a reason since these references were derogative to my Balija caste / community. For a Hindu more then religion, the Caste to which one belongs is more important since the caste/community tag adds prestige. Please kindly understand our sensitivities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.178.250.71 (talk • contribs)
on Gender role article
Hey. You reverted my edits, because according to you, they are "not explained". However, all my edits are explained in the "history", and all of them are according to the rules and discussion on the discussion page. I also added alot of content, please don't do this. The article is clearly much better as is, not as a long list of stuff, but rather with short descriptions with links to the main articles. 88.114.154.216 (talk) 07:56, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- Well, the last five edits you made to Gender role were not explained in an edit summary. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- No, but the edits concern the Julia Wood material, which is discussed on the talk page. Maybe I should have mentioned that also in the edit summaries. The problem is that 1) the sectio is too long, longer than all of the rest of the article and the claimed sources have not been found. I put a "main"-tag to link two other wikipedia articles on gender and comunication. Also in the last 5 I think I took out some of the non-sourced claims in the Gender role theory section that had been marked as unsourced years ago. However, there also I put a "main" to another article that talks more in detail about the issue. 88.114.154.216 (talk) 08:35, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- You can put your reason in talk and just add "See talk". I have no intent of undoing anymore of your edits to Gender role. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- OK, sorry. I though that it was obvious, but I should be more careful. 88.114.154.216 (talk) 08:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

The article was very bad and needed a lot of work, however it is my opinion that 88s recent edits have made it even worse. For just a few small examples of numerous problems, a study is mentioned and sourced at the end of the paragraph, however that did not stop 88 from adding (more) "citation needed" tags. Or, for instance, this wording:
The process through which the individual learns and accepts roles is called socialization. Socialization works by encouraging wanted and discouraging unwanted behavior. These sanctions by agents of socialization such as the family, schools, and the media make it clear to the child what is expected of the child by society. Mostly, accepted behavior is not produced by outright reforming coercion from an accepted social system. In some other cases, various forms of coercion have been used to acquire a desired response or function. On the other hand, theories such as the socialization approach suggest that gender identification and behavior is learned by the child by rewarded for behaviors that are seen as appropriate towards their sex; in other words, gender is socially taught and acquired (Cherlin, 2010, p.86).
Was changed to this:
Socialization refer to people adapting ideas about social roles from other members of their society. Some theories of socialization emphasize how society sanctions what is considered inappropriate behavior, while other theories such as the socialization approach suggest that gender identification and behavior is learned by the child by rewarded for behaviors that are seen as appropriate towards their sex; in other words, gender is socially taught and acquired .
It's not an article that I work on and it would take a great deal of work to restore it to its previous state - which admittedly was not very good either. Gandydancer (talk) 15:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hey that editor you mention is me. If you have some ideas concerning the article, come participate in the discussion page. A cn-tag is in place in my opinion, if that specific claim is not in the source article give in later on (with another sentecne). Otherwise I'd use "failder verfication". The part about socialization, I'd say is better (except for the typo verb infliction on "refers"). The original claims to know how socialization works, without sourcing that claim. In addition it is too long in my opinion. Why add claims about sanctions and other mechanisms if you don't have a source?88.114.154.216 (talk) 19:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Also, just because you don't like some wording on one paragraph doesn't give you the right to revert 20K of stuff without discussion. I had also added alot of content, you know. I think that considering the above passage the best thing to do is to main-link the socialization article, and concisely discus it's relevance in the sociology of gender, so as to minimize redundancy. You should discuss this stuff on the articles discussion page so that the other editors could participate and give you feedback on your ideas.88.114.154.216 (talk) 20:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Gandydancer is not the one who reverted you. I am. You keep talking about "discussion on the talk page" as if there is WP:CONSENSUS for your mass changes; there isn't. There's mostly you ranting on the talk page. And I had already checked it before reverting you. Your editing has indeed made the article worse -- it's a citation-needed tag mess, for example. Adding a lot of cn tags instead of one big tag telling readers that the section is unsourced or needs additional sources is ludicrous! You also need to read up on what WP:VANDALISM is. Reverting you, restoring the article to the WP:STATUSQUO version is not vandalism.
- And don't bother leaving me a message on my talk page, since my IP address constantly changes and I'd have to reply to the message as a different IP. 220.255.2.103 (talk) 13:53, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- How exactly do you think that the current article worse than the older version? We should try and find a consensus so that we can edit it together to suite us both. If you have a problem with the cn-tags then 1) why? is there some guideline which says that there is some limit to using cn-tags? 2) there are not that many 3) we can replace the cn-tags with a section refimprove-tag. 88.114.154.216 (talk) 14:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- I fully support reverting 88's edits. The article was bad before 88 began massive changes; it is worse now. I have not interacted with 88 because I dread a long drawn out discussion that never gets anywhere. It is my impression that 88 means well, but I have been blocked for reversing an editor in a similar situation and have no desire to go through that again. Gandydancer (talk) 14:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. I support your desire to revert all my edits, if you can justify it with soemthing more substantial than "i don't like it". I mean, my version has more sources, more links to other main-wikipedia articles, less unsourced wild claims and the structure of the articles is better. How can any one justify reverting all that? If you have a problem with some specific part of the version, I will gladly co-operate in making it better. No one needs to be blocked or anything like that. I will not also try to endlessly debate you one everyhing, just because I could. Cheers. The best way to continue would be on the talk page of the article. 88.114.154.216 (talk) 15:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

- Probably not a good idea to repeatedly revert an admin/bureaucrat/steward especially without settling the matter first in a discussion. I wouldn't mess with him if I was an admin. Jimbo Wales next on your list? Be careful, please. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:55, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Xvon, again?
I thought we'd seen the last of him, but a couple of days ago, he went to Blake Griffin, Kris Humphries, Rashida Jones, and several other of those pages and outright removed all the African-American categories. He claimed there wasn't a reliable source for them being black, even though in a couple of them there clearly was. Either way, he's still fighting against a long-held consensus to categorize them as such. Please help me monitor the situation...I've reverted him once on the three pages I've listed, I hope I don't have to again. pbp 05:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

- Didn't even see the name of the article. I'm running wp:Huggle and just noticed that the removed content seemed well sourced and there was no edit summary. So, I undid the edit. Good luck on the BLPN. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
A reply to your removing my external link from the Nikolai Medtner page
Hi Jim1138. Thank you for taking the time to look over my recent change to the Nikolai Medtner page. I do believe the external link to openclassical (https://www.openclassical.com/composer/Nikolai_Medtner) is very relevant, and should be restored. Please allow me to elaborate on this. openclassical's mission is the organization of classical music, of which there is over 1,000 years of highly varied and remarkable music. More than this, it also organizes existing internet media, providing a simple gateway for a visitor to browse and discover classical music. It is also free to use.
In the case of Medtner, openclassical has cataloged and organized his complete works, providing sorting and filtering tools, and the ability to actually listen to most of his works while browsing the score. Medtner's page has received the highest commendation from the president of the International Medtner Foundation.
For someone visiting Misplaced Pages wishing to learn more about Medtner, I think this is a very relevant external link. Can you please restore the link?
Thanks. D clef (talk) 15:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- A few issues with adding links like this. The article is about Nikolai Medtner, not about supplying links to his music. See wp:linkfarm If the link supported the page by allowing access to information on Medtner, it might be acceptable. The second is that openclassical.com supplies access only to Amazon.com. This would open up the article to other purveyors of Medtner's music. Not a good idea. And, the links to amazon.com supplies more information then is needed to link to the specific music item, suggesting a profit motive; i.e. wp:spam. I would advise against adding this and similar links to Wikipeida. Please add new talk to the bottom of the talk page where people expect it. It's likely to be missed if put elsewhere. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 18:00, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. Please let me outline my perspective on this. I think openclassical has related goals to the IMSLP project, which is also an external link from Medtner's page, and most other composers. IMSLP does not provide much information about the composer, but focuses on his musical works (like openclassical, it links to Medtner's Wiki page for those wanting to read his biography). IMSLP also has amazon integration.
- I think that someone wanting to learn more about Medtner would definitely want to learn more about his music - without his music, most likely there would be no Medtner Misplaced Pages page. As illustration of this, I note that around half of the text on his Misplaced Pages page discusses his music.
- I would also like to note that, like IMSLP, our Amazon integration does not suggest affiliation with Amazon, nor is the visitor forced to use it. openclassical is a free resource, whose mission is to make the discovery and hearing of great classical music easier.
- Does this address your concerns? I am very happy to discuss, and make changes to openclassical if necessary, since first of all I understand it is a new project (we launched it this year), and I am convinced that many people will find it very useful when learning about classical music.

About my removal of content
I just removed extra AD's from the page, I didn't remove information. Is that ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lupus Bellator (talk • contribs) 23:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you look at papers and sites that have years between 1-100 AD, most of them put AD next to all of the dates ranges often excluded. I personally find it hard to see a two or three digit year as a year without the AD (or BC). Also, two digit years make one wonder if they are AD or BC. I would recommend not removing the extra ADs.

Personal Attacks
Hi Jim, I did not realize I made a personal attack. I'm new to Misplaced Pages and I mean no harm. I simply did not know how to handle another user waging an edit war on my edits. I repeatedly requested for specifics for the edit reversals from that user and got none, which frustrated me and I made a comment which summed up what I believed was the her personal motive behind the edit warring. I realize now that is unacceptable. Is it normal to administer a 'final' warning to a new user that has made an ad hominem attack with no previous warnings for such a thing? Please be kind, I mean no harm and I'm new to this.

Jim, recvd your msgs this a.m. I want to focus entirely upon the wiki page "social promotion" and the entry www.writingachievement.com/Retention.htm
You have apparently labeled the page as "spam" and I need more info from you as to how that occurs to you.
I think we need to have a discussion, focus on that page and its contents, and that this discussion should precede summary judgments made by anyone about the contents of the page.
I realize it will be better for us to have a discussion rather than to do the undo/undo back and forth. I am just now learning how to use this talk thing and will try to sign off now. Betsaari (talk) 15:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Follow up re social promotion
Jim,
If the pages you are concerned about appeared as stand alone pdf's w no links to the website would that suffice? The content really needs to be out there, even as a stand alone. Betsaari (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- Note: I've already responded on my user page, as has C.Fred on their talk page. This discussion should be centralized on the article talk page at talk:Social promotion. As it is, it appears the user isn't happy with one response, so it "asking the other parent" to forum shop for someone who may give a response they prefer. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- The information, if published in a reputable journal, would be worth considering, but not as a self-published web site. Posting one's own material even if in a reputable journal on multiple Misplaced Pages pages is generally frowned upon. Jim1138 (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page yesterday. It is a shame that someone who knows how to change a user box would not make a positive contribution to Misplaced Pages. Donner60 (talk) 03:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Thomas Meyerhoffer Edit
Hi Jim1138. Why did you add back the orphan heading to Thomas Meyerhoffer if the page has links to it? --That1user (talk) 00:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you click "What links here" on the Thomas Meyerhoffer page, there are three user pages (including this one) listed. No articles link to Thomas Meyerhoffer, which makes it an orphan. I don't think links through user pages count. Did you add an external link to Thomas Meyerhoffer from another article instead of a wikilink? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry. I was mistaken. I thought an orphan page meant that the article itself did not link to any other article and not the other way around. I apologize for the inconvience. --That1user (talk) 03:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- No problem. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Pearl High School shooting
View all versions prior to 8 DEC 2012. They all cite the assistant principal stopping the shooter with a .45 caliber pistol. 18 DEC 2012 (today) the story has been changed repeatedly to delete this fact. Many times with blatant vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JAK29349 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Jim, the reliable source is the 30 something versions of the original story prior to today, I merely undid changes that delete part of the original story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JAK29349 (talk • contribs) 10:25, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Jim
I'm the unregistered cat who ended up involved in the Pearl High School Shooting edits tonight. Many people are going to be searching for information on the Pearl Highschool Shooting due to the recent tragic events in Connecticut and the political issues they're bringing up. I'm not a wiki-user regularly and I probably did much more harm than good before you came along, but now I feel like something got accomplished at least 'til someone starts linking random .txt manifestos again. Seriously though big thanks to you, salt of the internet you are. ~Rob — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.130.161.27 (talk) 11:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Was in the process of undoing my edit, you were quick to message me about this (though I suspect it was an auto message) Wormow (talk) 04:59, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Your recent undo of my edit
Yes you bring up some valid points and i learned something about Misplaced Pages editing. But you also said "Your other sources on that page: social media (youtube) is not considered a reliable source and should be avoided. I did not view the video, was I supposed to see the similarities myself? Requiring the reader to make such a decision would likely be considered original research." and that is incorrect. The video is a review from established expert in the relevant field. See reliable source. Please do not be so hasty in your undos. If you see mistakes please correct them, not delete the whole thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.99.131.84 (talk) 10:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
and if you think the third reference i used, metacritic, is unacceptable. I suggest you go through every video game articles on Misplaced Pages since almost all of them uses it as a source. http://en.wikipedia.org/Halo_2#Reception http://en.wikipedia.org/Call_of_Duty_2#Reception for exmaples 50.99.131.84 (talk) 10:36, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Little talks edit
Hey there Jim, I tried to edit the certification for the song (http://en.wikipedia.org/Little_Talks) in Sweden but I don't know how to edit the citations. The information is taken from the site http://www.hitlistan.se/ in the section Vekans singellista and in position 41 you can see that the single is platinum but the url doesn't seem to change when you navigate the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.242.127.246 (talk) 05:26, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- I sort of fixed it by linking to the main page of hitlistan.se and informing the reader "Artikelinformation: Of Monsters and Men - Little talks (must search for and navigate to specific album information)" What a pain! Took me awhile to discover the change from 10,000 to 20,000 was automatic. Please let me know you received this message? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:00, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Freelancer.com Criticisms edit
Hi Jim, I deleted that section because it points to links which are speculative/dubious, from anonymous sources - clearly a violation of Misplaced Pages terms which prohibit "engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation; With the intent to deceive, posting content that is false or inaccurate; Attempting to impersonate another user or individual, misrepresenting your affiliation with any individual or entity, or using the username of another user with the intent to deceive; and Engaging in fraud." Carlosyrastorza (talk) 05:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Olivia Culpo
Hi, Jim!
I made those changes because I followed the links to the Citations, and found nothing in the sources that indicated her ancestry with complete accuracy.
One citation pointed to a death record which indicated the residence of a relative (Italy) and the other was an article in which she mentioned "She grew up in a large Italian home". I chose to lift that sentence verbatim and replace the less-than-accurate original with that.
I hope that isn't too much of a problem! I would revert the changes you made, but I think that would be disrespectful of me. If you are satisfied with my explanation, just let me know and I'll revert them immediately.
Cheerio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.203.84.45 (talk) 17:03, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
