AfDs

Hi - please follow WP:FOOLS and do not use automated tools to create joke AfDs. Thanks, ansh666 15:32, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, sorry. It's my first April Fools' day on Wikipedia, so I'm a bit of a newbie for it. Sorry Ansh666! Jeb³_{Talk at me here} 15:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

I am sorry. English is not my mother language. I don't speak and I don't understand English sentences. But I know the ancient Greeks pronounced the name "Anchises" actually: /aŋkʰíːsɛːs/ So I am assuming the article about the historic Anchises is maybe absolutely wrong. All readers should be given a warning of reading wrong information at wikipedia. Why can we read such incorrect pronunciations like /ænˈkaɪsiːz/ here? I think /ænˈkaɪsiːz/ is absolutely incorrect. Maybe /ɑːnˈkiːseɪz/ ist correct as well. Correct-44 (talk) 14:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Page

Jeb, what promotional material have I added to the Cluttons wiki page? Please advise so I can have moderated as the content is now wrong and needs to be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melrosecluttons (talk • contribs) 13:27, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Melrosecluttons, text like this: "It provides a range of services, including sales and lettings, property management, asset management, valuation, corporate services and consultancy across a range of sectors." is blatantly promotional. I advise you view the page WP:NPOV, and avoid editing articles you have a conflict of interest with. Jeb³_{Talk at me here} 13:36, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

--47.19.52.21 (talk) 15:46, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Why did you keep editing my page?

1000 Words

My addition was not vandalism. It is quite true and without malice, cant or humbug. It is disagreement as per the heading. Not sure your removal meets your own criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:157F:F550:E861:6F3F:70D1:D794 (talk) 17:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of user talk pages

Regarding your nomination of User talk:104.219.187.240 for deletion, user talk pages are only deleted under very special circumstances (see WP:DELTALK) and these do not apply in this case. Favonian (talk) 16:00, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

The Boss Baby

Maybe try reading policies and guidelines before your revert next time. Appearently, your edits have always been not-so-helpful. Also on MOS:MOVIE, further reading/see also section is described as "the material should not appear elsewhere in the article, so well-developed articles that use many references will not necessarily need this section."

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Generally, 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. 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) 03:01, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't realize this applied to UNs that are offensive. Will refrain from reporting until edits are made. Again, thanks for the heads up Beeblebrox. _{Judging by your UN, I'd say you're a fan of HHGTTG. Me too!} Jeb³_{Talk at me here} 14:48, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It's a matter of degrees, if a name is extremely offensive i.e. hate speech, or attacking a living person by name I'd definitely go ahead and report, but mildly offensive names don't need to be. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:41, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

A concern has been expressed that a speedy tag on User:Nandanieb4213/sandbox/Jeanine Oleson was unjustified. please allow the AfC review to be carried out. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is unreliable because people who make legitimate edits are called vandals. And that leads to information existing that is often completely wrong. And also information is often wrong in general on here. But good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.56.125 (talk) 20:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

174.119.56.125, while that may be true, that does not mean you should point it out on all articles. Just because something may have issues does not require those issues be mentioned on every article. _{Plus, it has been shown that Wikipedia is no less reliable than, say, Encyclopedia Britannica} Jeb³_{Talk at me here} 13:28, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
