Nemesis

about my edit: it is just a small revenge on the man thad had killed my people... chill bro, you did kill no one... tako da ne brines, pokusacu ja opet u neko skorije vreme... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivan đorđević (talk • contribs) 0:58, May 31, 2018 (UTC)

@Ivan đorđević, please refrain from making statements like such in articles and on talk pages. A neutral point of view should always be used. See WP:NPOV — Mr X ☎️ 02:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Rollback

I see that you have been fighting lots of vandalism recently. Thank you for that. Would you like to have rollback to help you revert obvious vandalism faster? Widr (talk) 12:13, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

@Widr:, that sounds like it would be very beneficial and would allow for a quicker turn around of cleaning articles. Mr X ☎️ 12:16, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Done (official template below).

Hi Mr Xaero. 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:Administrators' guide/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! Widr (talk) 12:19, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Your UAA posts

In general, it is recommended not to report users to WP:UAA before they have edited, unless there is an egregious violation. Easton dong could be a disruptive username, but could also be a Chinese surname. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:27, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

@Power~enwiki:, forgot about the Chinese surname. You can remove them from the WP:UAA if you wish. — Mr X ☎️ 02:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Edward Rummel.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:12, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Punched Card

By way of introduction ... I'm about 80 years old and am one of those people who actually worked with punched card machines (and NOT just as computer input). Got started with Wikipedia about 2006, there was a lot to do - both in articles and in structure (categories). About 2011 I settled down to punched cards. The current organization of Punched Card and Keypunch was my 1st task - and has held up.

The current problem is quite simple. The first sentence of Punched Card is:

"A punched card or punch card is a piece of stiff paper that can be used to contain digital data represented by the presence or absence of holes in predefined positions."

"Digital data" can be referenced any number of ways: by count, by name... What's in the 3rd column, what's in the "paid field", etc.

When a card or tape is continuously moving through a punch and is punched when a musician plays a note it is analog data, not digital data and can only be referenced by the punched hole. A copy can be made only by use of the original card.

Knowing what was digitally punched I can make a copy WITHOUT having the original. Analog and digital data are very different.

The article is about digital data - the first sentence states that; analog data has no place in the article. (and the 1st sentence is explicit - digital). Can you help - or do we just abandon the topic?

Declined speedy

Note that I removed your G10 CSD tag at User:Nitinpurohit24 as none of the content was negative or an attack and therefore didn't meet the G10 criteria for deletion. If in the future you see user pages (or any pages) that include excessive personally indentifying material (e.g. phone numbers, full birth dates) or if the editor identifies as a minor, please email the oversight team in order to request that the edits be suppressed. I've gone ahead and suppressed the information in this case. Thank you, --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:04, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey mate,

I'm quite new to this. I don't completely understand the feedback from your revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mille-feuille&diff=846115153&oldid=846110946

Do you think a citation required?

@Totalfrenzy, I understand that the Australians have many derogatory terms for the Mille-feuille, but the use of such in said article is not needed. — Mr X ☎️ 15:21, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
@Mr Xaero In any other article I would understand, however this section is specifically used for listing name variations. Considering how prominent the usage of these alternate names are, they have place in this particular section of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Totalfrenzy (talk • contribs) 22:07, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Signature

Hi, my name's Tony and I'm an administrator on this wiki. I noticed you've recently started editing again, which is great, but I also noticed that your signature matches the username of a longstanding active user, MrX, to the point where I wasn't sure if it was him or a new user. I think it'd be better if you chose a signature that would avoid that confusion TonyBallioni (talk) 04:26, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioniThe shortening of my username within my signature was purely done as people are unable to pronounce the last part of the name. In no means am I attempting to impersonate MrX nor did I ever realize that particular username existed. I will honor your wishes and modify my signature. — Mr X ☎️ 12:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Survivor - DvG.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Problem in Wikipedia

I appreciate your contribution to the community of wikipedia and I just want to address my edit in one of the talk page of a vandal. To hate something or someone to the point of editing their wikipedia page is totally unnecessary in my opinion and I personally just want the vandal to know and have remorse on his actions. This is an ongoing problem in this community and i want to know your opinion about this problem and how to tackle it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yonewalltz (talk • contribs) 14:56, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

@Yonewalltz, do not engage vandals with personal attacks as this just "feeds the trolls" and could result in your account being banned from editing or even using Wikipedia. I suggest that you read WP:VANDAL for more information. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 15:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

you made a mistake

You accidentally vandalized the talk page of the 2020 Democratic primaries by removing a comment calling for Andrew Yang to go under major candidates. Please be more cautious in the future. --AndInFirstPlace (talk) 17:23, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

@AndInFirstPlace, I reverted your past four edits where I should have removed just the last one. As per WP:NOTFORUM, please take these types of comments/questions to user talk pages instead of the article talk page. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 17:35, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
You're missing the big picture. You removed a great edit. Don't do that. --AndInFirstPlace (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
@AndInFirstPlace, I am not one to argue as this is nor the time nor place to do such, but what the edit which I originally intended to remove was this. You self removed said edit after I reverted your edits. The edit which I provided just now is the prime example of WP:NOTFORUM and does not need to be placed in an article talk page. As for the "warning" in which you provided me, I am removing that as it was not justified. Have a nice day. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 19:12, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
I would encourage you to reflect on this moment not as one in which others attempted to spite you and instead as a moment in which you grew. I believe in your capacity to start contributing positively to Wikipedia, and I hope you do too! --AndInFirstPlace (talk) 01:26, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
@AndInFirstPlace it appears that you are misunderstanding the point that I made regarding your edits to the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries talk page. Rather than continuously attempting to explain this point over and over, I urge you to no longer make contact with me on this issue. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 14:20, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Aymenn biography

First off, the 'criticism' section you put under my name reflects a silly story from more than five years ago that those involved in it would disavow or forget (e.g. Michael Weiss, JM Berger). Second, the Wikipedia biography contains inaccuracies about my anyway, including the spelling of my name and year of birth.

137.44.117.21 - Regarding the edits that you made to Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi, Wikipedia does not censor information nor should referenced material be removed without proper justification (see WP:Censor).

I'm just curious what I did wrong this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosalinastarbits (talk • contribs) 23:40, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

@Rosalinastarbits: First off, welcome to Wikipedia! Sorry that your first experience editing is not the best and your edits have been removed or reverted. Within your edits, there there issues with the tone of the edits along with removal of cited information. Based on those actions, other editors such as myself worked to clean these edits to keep the article with a neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV). We also try to keep the articles factual and provide references or citations for edits. The edit which you made adding a "alumni" was removed as there were not enough references to support the notability of the "alumni" (see WP:NOTE). On your talk page, C.Fred left you a welcome message that contains helpful hints that should help you with any questions you may have. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 01:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Excuse me

I was curious why my proposal to delete The Story Keepers article was reverted. The topic struck me as very non-notable, and the “citations” are not references to actual sources, just references to the work itself. Did you find notable sources for this topic? Thanks, 98.127.4.44 (talk) 20:50, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@98.127.4.44: Here is the network that airs the content, Hope Channel. I would classify this as being notable. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 20:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
It may well be notable, but currently there are no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate this. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 09:45, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

COVID-19 in Illinois (map and more)

Hi, Xaero. Thanks for making the map File:COVID-19 in Illinois as of March 14 2020.png. I left a comment on the File Talk page as well. It's missing McHenry County, cases have been identified (It's at 2, I think). I don't have access to image editing software or I'd do it myself. Also, seeing how the date is in the filename, are you planning to create a new file each time you update, rather than upload new versions of the one file? Just curious. Thanks again, Fishal (talk) 17:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

@Fishal: I have uploaded a new version that has that information contained within it. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 18:42, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks! I think we'll both be spending a lot of time on that page during these weeks of quarantine. Fishal (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mr X, and thanks for reformatting and adding to the day-by-day stats table I created. I teach wikipedia to future librarians and will use our two edits as a case study to encourage them! Katewill (talk) 18:12, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I am sorry

Hi Mr Xaero,

I lack the words to properly apologize for the incorrect block; an explanation attempt can be found at Special:Diff/946417039. I am deeply sorry.

Illinois COVID Cases

Xaero, in regards to 2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Illinois, I am removing the "active cases" and "recovered" because state of Illinois is not updating those numbers. If you check our the IL Health Dept web site, they are only siting 3 numbers: "Total Cases, Deaths and Number of Tests Done". Hope you understand that. And the 2 recovered cases is from February 2 and not accurate anymore, if you click on the link. Again Illinois is not releasing those figures anymore. User:THEunique User talk:THEunique

@THEunique: As per IDPH not reporting any further amounts of recovered individuals, that is correct. However an official release of information is still published on the IDPH website which lists those two individuals as being recovered which I will quote below.
“Our two Illinois residents with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 have recovered from their illnesses and there has been no further spread of the virus from these two cases,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “The risk to the general public remains low and we are continuing to use every tool at our disposal to keep our community safe.”[1]
This is clearly referenced material that shows confirmed recovered patients. Please stop removing this information from the article. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 16:35, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Wall (surname), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frank Wall (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Template collapse on Indiana COVID Cases

Thanks for starting the work on adding collapsing sections to Template:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_data/United_States/Indiana_medical_cases_chart! I was going to sit down this weekend and try to add that. Now, I have a good place to start and maybe all that's left is soring out the bug in the "Last 15 days" behavior. 3Todd (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

3Todd, what issue are you seeing with the "last 15 days" feature? I just looked and it is showing the last 15 like it should be. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 20:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Mr Xaero, it's the same issue that all the medical cases chart template instances seem to have...turning on April and "last 15 days" shows the weird, disjoint set 04/01–04/16 and 05/01 instead of the expected 04/01–05/01. 3Todd (talk) 20:45, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Mr Xaero, I was just going to write the same question over on the Talk page for theVermont medical cases chart. Something strange is going on:
  • If you choose "Last 15" and "May", you only see bars until the end of April.
  • If you choose "Last 15" and "April" and "May", you see data from April 1 through April 18.
  • If you choose "Last 15" and "April" (but NOT May), you see all of April AND May.
Unfortunately I don't know enough of the Wikipedia template syntax to be able to figure out how to help diagnose what is going on. - Dyork (talk) 23:47, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
3Todd and Dyork, I do not maintain the template that those two templates use to display the data. You might want to pose those questions and concerns over at Medical cases chart talk page. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 00:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Mr Xaero - Thank you for the pointer, and thank you 3Todd for raising it over there. I will comment in that discussion. - Dyork (talk) 13:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

New York Table

In one of your edits to the New York Coronavirus article, you said "all data that is in the table is included in the template." This is not true. NYS Department of Health counts cases quite differently from counties in many cases: it has case counts for some counties higher than those counties' own health departments, and lower than other counties' departments. Additionally, the template counts deaths by the county in which the person died, while the table counts deaths by county of residence (for example, no residents of Tompkins county died, although two patients brought to hospitals there did die). NYS also publishes no recovery data, so the the template's recovery numbers come from sources that disagree with the NYS case/death numbers the template takes as true. These are all problems with the template; on its own it's fine, but the NYS numbers often vary significantly and track days behind the information counties provide. These problems need to be resolved before the template can be used on the New York Coronavirus article. TheNavigatrr (talk) 03:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

This conversation has been moved to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York (state) talk page and should be discussed there. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 16:58, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Super Bowl LVIII Logo.png

Hi there. Thanks for uploading File:Super Bowl LVIII Logo.png on 8 July 2022. However, that does not look like an official logo of Super Bowl LVIII that has been sanctioned by the NFL. Compare that to the previous Super Bowl logos that include a depiction of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Instead, the image you uploaded looks like something that an average person could have easily drafted on Photoshop. The site were you got it from is also questionable because it primarily is used for selling ticket packages, not an official NFL site or a sports news site that covers the league. Therefore, I have removed your version from the article, and would rather wait until the NFL officially releases the logo and it is reported on all those sports news sites. And because it's now a non-free image not used in any articles, it currently will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks.
