Reliable sources

Be sure to cite reliable sources! Twitter is not a reliable source. It might help you if you take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Dustin (talk) 21:33, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Edits to List of United States tornadoes in April 2015

If someone could revert the changes I just made to List of United States tornadoes in April 2015, or tell me if there's a way to revert the changes on my own, I would greatly appreciate it lol. Still new to this! User:Jdcomix 20:34; Saturday, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

Go to the top of the article you linked and click on the "history" button. You should see a list of usernames and edits. Find your edit (your username is "Jdcomix") and click "undo". It might also help for you to take a look at WP:UNDO. Dustin (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you! User talk:Jdcomix 20:40; Saturday, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
Just a note, but on Wikipedia, you can indent by using colons as I have done. By indenting, you can clearly tell other editors who you are responding to (though in this situation, it is just you and me). If you try to indent using spaces or just add blank lines when responding, it can cause the text to display incorrectly. I hope that helps you in the future. Dustin (talk) 20:47, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Borderline EF5 for Fairdale Tornado?

Just checked NWS website, wind speed was 200 mph O-O. I've got my eyes on a possible upgrade to EF5. Let's just wait for confirmation from the NWS.. User:Jdcomix 21:13 pm UTC: Monday, April 13, 2015

Fairdale tornado rating

I saw that you are putting the Fairdale tornado in as an EF5. I originally saw the IP user putting it in and thought it was vandalism or OR. Do you have a source for the EF5 rating? The referenced pages still list it as an EF4. TornadoLGS (talk) 18:25, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Let's just keep it as an EF4 until we have official confirmation of that. Just changed it back to EF4. Jdcomix (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

So is a possible EF5 rating in the works then? TornadoLGS (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Don't think so, but I'll watch for an upgrade. Jdcomix (talk) 18:48, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Derecho Page Issues

VGChartz is unreliable

  • See WP:VG/S for the master list, and it's talk page to ask questions.
  • As to why, the short version is that it's essentially run by a bunch people without credentials who refuse to share their sources or methodology.

You can start up another discussion to try to change this consensus, but in the meantime, you have to follow this consensus, or you'll be blocked from editing. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 19:33, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Checked this out and won't do it again. Sorry ^_^ Jdcomix (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for understanding. Let me, or WP:VG if you ever have any questions on stuff. See you around. Sergecross73 msg me 19:39, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Balochistan conflict

Hi, Jdcomix I read your message regarding my edit. What do you think is wrong in it? Are the sources not credible. I meant to say insurgency is largely subsided. And I also have posted sources along it. What do you think I am doing wrong in it 82.178.52.21 (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

The edits appeared to be inappropriate is what was wrong with it. Jdcomix (talk) 01:30, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Jdcomix Yeah I noticed that. Well that is what happens when I try to edit from my mobile phone. Thanks for letting me know :) 82.178.52.21 (talk) 01:37, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey 😊

I installed wrote a passage about the Amundsen Gulf and it looks as if it were written on a typewriter. What should I do about it?

Queen of the South Season 2015-16

I have heard of using the sandbox but I've been updating this club's pages for the last five seasons. I was wondering what you meant by not appearing constructive or the specific edits that were altered? Kind Regards Rusty1111 : Talk 21:28, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

It was probably because of the P-P that you added in. I'm not familiar with this stuff, so I probably shouldn't have even patrolled it :P Jdcomix (User talk:Jdcomix|talk)]] 9:26 pm, Today (UTC+0)
Would of been better if you had reverted yourself once you checked and realised. 38 edits is a lot to rollback without checking further.Blethering Scot 21:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Jim Kimball page

With respect...I'm just asking a reasonable question. .Today is the first time I have tried to edit my page..Can you please explain why you deleted my edits Jdcomix? TandG-history (talk) 22:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

You're blanking an entire section with no explanation. Kind regards. Jdcomix (talk) 22:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I appreciate that. .I'm new to all this and I'm not trying to be disruptive. .I was just getting started. .trying to make the page better and more complete.I thought that is what Wikipedia wants. I'm sorry if I did something wrong. .What is the proper protocol to edit that page? I have references for everthing I wrote . I am that person. TandG-history (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

It is considered vandalism to blank an entire section without explanation. Jdcomix (talk) 22:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I didn't realize I did. .All the information on there before i tried to edit is accurate and I definitely want all that information in there.I was just trying to add to it.. .I'm sorry I didn't mean to do blank a section ..I will do some research to try figure out the right way to make future edits before I do them..I'm sorry I didn't know what I was doing. .thanks for your time in responding. I appreciate that. Have a good day. TandG-history (talk) 22:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Jdcomix. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal talk 07:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Information icon Hello, I'm United States Man. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tornadoes of 2015, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. United States Man (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Information icon Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to November 2014 North American cold wave, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Non-retirement

Hey there! I haven't seen you around much. Just to let you know, we don't list when storm names aren't retired, as non-information isn't necessary for the article. Only ~76 storm names were retired, but there are hundreds more storm articles, so retirement is the exception, not the norm. I hope me undoing your edits doesn't dissuade you from editing hurricane articles! If you need help working on storm articles, I'd be glad to be of assistance. Cheers, Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Second most active month

I based my reversion on the number of confirmed tornadoes. We appear to have 45 so far. This puts 2016 in 7th place for the past 10 years for January-February totals, in 4th place for totals through February 16, and below the mean for both. The chart I found on preliminary reports puts 2016 in 5th place. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:16, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

I based my edit off of counting the daily tornado reports, which I found 103 total; trust me, I added up all of the reports from every tornado day. Jdcomix (talk) 22:48, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Cummer Valley Middle School

Why did you mark this article for speedy deletion as vandalism? - MrX 02:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Would you please quote your source? The author has been blocked for vandalism and the original article isn't available, so there is a problem of copyright.Xx236 (talk) 08:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
In the future, feel free to try a Google search. [1] There's no problem of copyright. The material is attributed to the person who created it.- MrX 12:38, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Time to talk about Twinkle?

Hi Jdcomix. I'm a product manager in the Wikimedia Editing team researching edit-review and anti-vandalism tools for a project we're planning that could yield more powerful and convenient tech for people like yourself. I see from Recent Changes that you appear to be an active Twinkle user. I'd like to walk through Twinkle with someone who understands it's strengths and weaknesses and can give me a feel for common workflows of Twinkle users.

Would you be a good person to act as my guide? If so, I’ll send you an invitation to chat; please let me know how to contact you and what timezone you're in (I'm in Pacific Time). If not, do you know someone?

Thanks very much for your help. JMatazzoni (WMF) (talk) 17:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Nice to hear that I am gaining a reputation on here! :D Anyway, I am an active Twinkle user, but I can't really think of many improvements to it, it's already great as is. Jdcomix (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Oostendesche FC

Read about the speedy deletion of Oostendesche FC, I have been doing research on the Belgian Football League, want to apologize for the lack of content. Trying to find out if the team still exists, merged with another team, or dissolved. I am a soccer fanatic & love all of the information that Wikipedia has already on leagues & teams from around our world. Hoping to add the knowledge that I am gaining to Wikipedia, thank you for reading. Bkyates20 (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Noonan Syndrome Edits

Hi

I didn't realise you kept deleting my changes, was wondering why it kept reverting back! I am an adult with NS, have worked with many of the researchers over the years, and thought I was making constructive changes, as some of the bullet points should be elsewhere (some of the stature and posture bullets should be in the musculoskeletal heading) and some other stuff I noticed I thought I could improve. I am sorry if you didn't think so! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.123.110.174 (talk) 02:03, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry! I didn't realize that this was the case! In that case, I'm removing you from ARV. Maybe creating an account specifying this would be good? Jdcomix (talk) 02:06, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

NO worries at all. Yes, I should create an account. Off to bed, but will see if I can improve the page a bit tomorrow! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.123.110.174 (talk) 02:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

My warnings.

Hi Jdcomix i was on my talk page a few seconds ago and I saw something about "personal attacks" can you please explain what those personal attacks were. The reason I was upset was because I tried to make a constructive edit and it's not the fact that you reverted it that got me upset, it was when you said I can be blocked. I was pissed off when I heard that as I was not trying to vandalize this page, vandalism is that edit I made to dick(surname) that's vandalism but the edits I made to "Sierra made occidental" are just unprofessional attempts to at least TRY to help. Now I hope you can actually understand and not block me for posting that. Look if I offended you or anything I'm very sorry, I would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings. Have a good day Jdcomix. Herpetology (talk) 02:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Look at my userpage. I am not an admin, so I don't have authority over these things. If I were you, I would just not make unconstructive edits, as registered users who only use their account for vandalism could get blocked indefinitely. Jdcomix (talk) 02:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey Jdcomix look I did not write all these words to offend you or something I was just wondering why the edits were considered unconstructive, maybe my edits are not high quality at all, but I'm trying to help this wiki not hurt it. Now do you have any tips to make my edits actually constructive for say. I also am just wondering what those personal attacks are. Dude I understand you are not a admin, it's just that I'm new here I only joined here in like February, so I don't really know how to have high quality edits. Look man I feel bad if my words were harsh I will be always be nice to you. Have a good day Jdcomix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snake dude (talk • contribs) 02:21, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Check this page out. It helped a lot for me. Jdcomix (talk) 02:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Total tornadoes box for events on Tornadoes of 2016

Hi Jdcomix, I noticed that there is now a box for total tornadoes in the tornado count for events of Tornadoes of 2016. I don't know much about it, but the previous tornado year articles didn't have that, and I thought it was just for the year total. Has it been decided that the total box would be used on all of the tornado counts? I just wanted to know, because I don't think they have before. – Jh23487 (talk) 21:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I just added them for convenience, so people would know which outbreaks were largest later in the year, since 2016 is forecast to be so active. Jdcomix (talk) 21:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay then. Maybe you should let other editors know somehow, since this doesn't seem to have been done before. I was thinking about reverting the edit, and if other editors see that it isn't normal and wasn't used before, they might revert it. Jh23487 (talk) 22:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry warnings

Hi there, I'm having trouble understanding why you've notified IP 166.137.105.30 three times [2][3][4] in the last two days that they are suspected of sockpuppeteering. The user hasn't edited since the 16th, so only 1 notice would have been sufficient, although the notices aren't terribly useful. As an admin, I have tons of experience dealing with sockpuppeteers, and I can assure you that there is neither a requirement that you notify them of your suspicion, and I have never found a reason to do so. At best you tip them off that they're under scrutiny, and they hop to another IP or account before anyone can do anything about it. Food for thought. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:03, 20 March 2016 (UTC

It is because I have suspected more than one account of sockpuppetry, so it notifies all users involved. Jdcomix (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Salah Abdeslam arrested

Is Salem Abdeslam getting arrested a local event. Because it doesn't looks like it to me. 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

No, he was confirmed to have been arrested after a raid. Jdcomix (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
So it can be removed? 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:50, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
No, it can't because it is notable. Jdcomix (talk) 13:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Ok. Just wondering. But does it need to have a source? 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes. Sorry I mistook your edits for vandalism. Just make sure to specify why you are removing content. Jdcomix (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Because it needs to have a source to verify it. 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of United States tornadoes from April to May 2016. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. United States Man (talk) 00:29, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I see by your recent Twitter "fight" with Norman that you apparently like violent-rated tornadoes. Well, please do not introduce unofficial/unsourced information into these articles, especially when it's from KFOR or Mike Morgan. Also, remember that Twitter technically isn't a reliable source here on Wikipedia, so don't just pull random information from there. We do pull surveys sometimes because those are always backed up on the website later. Thanks, United States Man (talk) 00:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

2014-16 El Nino

Hi, In answer to your question on the 2014-16 page, If you look carefully at my last couple of edits to the page you will find that I have tided up the sourcing so that we do not have several sources stating that the El Nino has ended. The only sources we now have are the official statments from the agencies concerned, including BoM, NOAA/IRI and the JMA. Since these statments maybe used several times, I have also included a <ref name="" /> in front them with a relevant name. In the Australian case since I took the info from the BoM I have called it <ref name="BoMEnd"/> :).Jason Rees (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Justin Bieber, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EDM. 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.

TY Meranti

Please do not put false information again. Typhoon Meranti is not the strongest and it's pressure is at 905hPa not 898. Thank you. Typhoon2013 (talk) 01:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

FYI, this reliable site (http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/), says Meranti is a 898mb 185 mph super typhoon, so if you need a source, this is where I found that info. I'm pretty sure the JMA will upgrade it to that value, they almost always follow this website. Jdcomix (talk) 02:38, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
I have reverted you again. The rule (as per WP:WPTC consensus) is quite simple - if it is not on the official website of the RSMC then it doesn't count. Please stop. --Jasper Deng (talk) 03:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
To be clear, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's value does not count because they are not the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center - that is the Japan Meteorological Agency in this basin.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:47, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Sorry sir but, still false information. Also support what Jasper said. Therefore Nepartak is still the strongest, sorry. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)


Downtempo/Uptempo

Hello Jdcomix, I really didn't know there was an existing genre titled, "uptempo," that's why I added "downtempo" to the genre list, i.e., I really was just trying to enlarge the picture and infobox with the genre additions. Anyways, thanks for fixing that issue, and ultimately making my day a microscopic tad bit more.... "uptempo." :)

Hello Jdcomix. Though it's reasonable for you to comment at AIV, in my opinion you should not decline reports, since you are not an admin. The board is intended for users to ask for the attention of an admin to their complaint. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Matthew's ERC

Since it's a jargony term, it's best to not include mention of it in the lead. In any case, we should refrain from mentioning it because the NHC explicitly said in the 15z discussion that there's not enough evidence that one is going on.--Jasper Deng (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Sorry! Just going off of satellite. Won't do it again :) Jdcomix (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
In general, it is also not up to us to infer that one is going on. In this case, it's been mentioned in the 3z discussion, but like all claims, "TC x is undergoing an ERC" is a statement that needs a source.--Jasper Deng (talk) 15:02, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Death toll from Hurricane Matthew

Where are you getting a death toll of fifteen? The highest I can find is ten. There are new articles that popped up twenty minutes ago that say ten. It would be useful to know. Thanks! Dustin (talk) 20:01, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Page movers

Hey there. I saw you moved Hurricane Lorenzo (2007) by copying and pasting the content to Hurricane Lorenzo. Just so you know, you're not supposed to do that on Wiki. See WP:CUTPASTE. You should let administrators handle the page moves - they know what behind-the-scene stuff happens when you want to move pages. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:31, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, if you check my contributions then you'll see the pages needing moved. Thank you and have a great day. :) Jdcomix (talk) 15:32, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Re your reversion of my edit to Non-uniform rational B-spline.

Please see the reference I quote in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Non-uniform_rational_B-spline&section=27 

The sentences from that reference, immediately before my quote in the talk page say:

The antonym of rational is non-rational. Non-rational B-splines are a special case of rational B-splines, just as uniform B-splines are a special case of non-uniform B-splines. Thus, non-uniform rational B-splines encompass almost every other possible 3D shape definition. Non-uniform rational B-spline is a bit of a mouthful and so it is generally abbreviated to NURBS.

We have already learnt all about the the B-spline bit of NURBS and about the non-uniform bit. So now all we need to know is the meaning of the rational bit and we will fully(?) understand NURBS. ToolmakerSteve (talk) 11:29, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for enlightening me on this, sorry about that! Have a great day! Jdcomix (talk) 11:31, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
np, I should have cited that source when I added the edit. I will add that citation now; thanks for spurring me to make the addition in a VERIFIABLE way. ToolmakerSteve (talk) 11:33, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Information iconGenerally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI :"Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:05, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Chuck Grassley

Bill Roth retired from the senate on January 3, 2001. That means he could no longer be chairman of the Senate Finance Committee From January 3, 2001 to January 20, 2001. Besides, the 107th United States Congress had Democratic control from January 3, 2001 to January 20, 2001. Max Baucus's page also agrees with this fact. So please don't revert something that is an established fact. I request that you revert your edit. JocularJellyfish (talk) 17:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Calambur

Hello. I am the user who started making big constructive edits of Calambur article back in January as the one who knows its subject well, my last edit consisted of minor fixes and refinements with removing of small portion of excess, non inconsiderable info. On what grounds you marked my edit as vandalism? MahtMBah (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

You didn't source your change to "the nose dive", that's why I reverted it. Jdcomix (talk) 18:00, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Official YT channel uses "the nose dive" (x) which sounds kinda weird and I wasn't sure about actual using of such sentence in English aviation terms or slang (thus I heard "nose failure"), but recently I found single translated (and hardly accessible) episode for foreign TV channels which uses this variant. Some other titles' translation differs from what's on said YT channel now.
May I revert back to my edit with link to this section of your talk page?
MahtMBah (talk) 18:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Yep, thanks! Jdcomix (talk) 18:38, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Review your vandalism claim

Could you please review your templating at User talk:Statickitten? The edits that it was posted in response to do not on any level obvious to me meet the definition of WP:VANDALISM; they look like the sort of thing we see when a relative of the subject is adding information without sourcing, which (while far from wikiperfect) is not vandalism. Your templating seems to have had a WP:BITE effect, and they have brought the matter to WP:BLPN.

If you find that your assumption of vandalism is inaccurate or at least insufficiently founded, a retraction and apology might be appropriate. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 Responded on page linked - Still going by the fact that their edits were unsourced, they still fail to provide a reliable source for their edits. Directed them to WP:RELIABLE for guidance. Jdcomix (talk) 14:12, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
None of that justifies you falsely tagging her page for vandalism. If you are unaware of what vandalism means in a Wikipedia context, please review WP:VANDALISM before tagging any other users. In the meantime, I will be deleting your improperly-placed and offensive tag. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 Apologised on talk page - I deeply apologize if I came off as biting, that wasn't my intention at all. I regret warning them for vandalism, I should have just directed them to WP:RELIABLE. Jdcomix (talk) 16:19, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
Thank you - and thank you for your other efforts tackling vandalism! --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Likaceni

Hello Jdcomix, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Likaceni, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. SoWhy 20:15, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Forgetara

By definition, if there's not enough context to tell what the article is about, you can't tell if it's in one of the categories that qualifies for A7. And having a title that will tell you with a quick gsearch disqualifies from speedy-context. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 12:55, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

I see you tagged Ssgmusic with three speedy deletion criterion, WP:A1, WP:A7 and WP:A11. If you tag something as A1, you are saying that there is not enough content in the article to understand what the article is about. If there is not enough content in the article to know what it is about, how can you know that it is an eligible subject for A7 or that it is advertising/promoting something? ~ GB fan 13:23, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm still trying to learn the ropes as a new page reviewer, so thank you for enlightening me. It has virtually no context, but from what I can decipher, it seems to be promotional in nature. Jdcomix (talk) 14:34, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
You need to go back and read the speedy deletion criterion. I just declined the speedy delete on Sour Grapes (documentary). You tagged is as an A7. A7 only applies to an article if it is about a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event. A documentary is not any of those things. ~ GB fan 18:10, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
I just realized I declined another one you tagged, OctoFrost Group. You need to review the article history carefully before nominating an article for speedy deletion. I had nominated it for speedy deletion as an A7 and another admin declined that speedy delete. You then nominated it again for an A7 speedy delete (along with G11 and G5). Since an A7 had already been declined you should not have nominated it again using the same criterion. The other one that raises a flag is the G5 nomination. G5 is for articles that are created by users that are evading a block or a ban. In this case the user was blocked for username violations after they had already created the article. If this were deleted and they came back under a new name and redreated it, then it would be eligible for G5. G11 is a little more nuanced and subjective, but at least two admins (sowhy and me) had reviewed it prior to your tagging and if it was deletable under G11 it would have already been tagged. I hope this helps you learn more about speedy deletion and tagging. If you have questions, please ask. ~ GB fan 20:27, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Another one you need to look at, WP:G1. There is a very specific definition of nonsense in G1. The easy way to remember it is, if you can understand it, G1 does not apply. ~ GB fan 11:46, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 Looked at all A and G criterion Thanks for the help guys! Jdcomix (talk) 11:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: V-Cube 8

Hello Jdcomix. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on V-Cube 8 to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. SoWhy 20:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

New Page Patrol problems

Whoa, slow down. Tagging a page as A7 the same minute it's made is bitey, and I'd argue that a programming language isn't even covered under A7 anyways. You've had a ton of warnings about your speedy tagging, so it should be painfully obvious that you need to review the criteria carefully before tagging even one more page.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I came here to tell you the same thing. Wikipedia is not a video game . Hanging over a new page feed with your mouse poised to strike fast as soon as pages are created is not what we do here or what Twinkle is for. Please stop before you are asked to officially. If you want to help the encyclopedia, please concentrate on vandalism only and leave the new pages for those who have been granted the New Page Reviewer right. Thanks.

I also retracted my request for new page reviewer on WP:PERM, I agree with my reviewing generally not being helpful, and I'll just stay away from it, because I clearly don't know what I'm doing there. Sorry about any disruption I may have caused. :) Jdcomix (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi this is Felee Morit. I have received your message and I apologize for removing a content from Transportation in the Philippines without any reasons.

I recently removed the Bacolod-Silay Airport from the list of major airports, in the section Transportation in the Philippines because the CAA Philippines recently downgraded the airport status as a Prinicipal Class 1 Domestic Airport. In CAA Philippines classification, the international airports are the major airports in the country which can handle and currently handle international flights. These airports are NAIA, Mactan-Cebu International Airport, Davao International Airport, Iloilo International Airport, Kalibo International Airport, Clark International Airport, Puerto Princesa International Airport, Laoag International Airport, Subic-Bay International Airport, General Santos International Airport and Zamboanga International Airport.

For further information about CAA Philippines airport classification, you can search the List of Airports in the Philippines. Felee Morit (talk) 14:57, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
