A tag has been placed on File:Marques Brownlee in 2019.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM3jtRAwJlM. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Jim Jordan

[edit]

Hey, why did you undo my edit to Jim Jordan? The image needs to be replaced. Jordan rarely wears a suitjacket, to the point of several news outlets commenting about that. He shouldn't be wearing a suitjacket in his main image. pbp 00:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that Congressman Jordan almost never wears a suit-jacket to the point that news outlets comment about it, the prior image (before your edit) was his Congressional portrait (from the 114th Congress, 2015-17). Members of Congress have to wear it on the House floor to be in compliance with rules. All of the Congressional portraits I have seen have featured him wearing a suit-jacket. I am willing to add the image elsewhere in the article, because I feel there is just reasoning to add it back in. Unknown0124 (talk) 00:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken move

Moving categories

[edit]

Hello, Unknown0124,

Do not move categories! Categories are not moved like other pages. If you wish for a category to be renamed, make a proposal at Categories for Discussion and if the consensus is that the name should be changed, then a bot will move all of the contents to a new category page. Please do not ever do this again.

If you have questions, please visit the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:14, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've now proposed this category name change at CFD if you would like to weigh in on the discussion. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 June 28#Category:2021 storming of the United States Capitol. Liz Read! Talk! 17:28, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Liz, thank you for that information. I did not know about that procedure at the time I made those changes. The next time I make changes of that gratitude, I will put it through the consensus process, because I feel that input from other editors and users is valuable.

Making edits that are likely to be contentious (adding/removing Category:Propaganda in the United States for example) without any summary or talk page discussion is particularly problematic.

What is a Woman? moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, What is a Woman?, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Curbon7 (talk) 03:48, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Never thought of doing that. Will take this into future consideration. Unknown0124 (talk) 12:25, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I think you should stop and think. Drmies (talk) 01:05, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My edit does not have to do with disagreements, politically or otherwise, it had to do with tweets, one thread after the 2016 election, and another tweet alleging the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen, both of which were posted before her tenure in the Biden administration. If you feel I am taking these tweets out of context, or if anything relating to them should be added to the article, let me know. I want to provide the best information to people as possible, free of bias and opinion. Unknown0124 (talk) 01:12, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think you've been here long enough to know that BLP information, and particularly categories, need secondary sourcing, not just a tweet from years ago from the subject. And if those two tweets are all there is, it's not likely you'll find much secondary sourcing confirming the categorization. Drmies (talk) 02:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 25stargeneral (talk) 01:29, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right, so don't be giving Musk titles that aren't in sources. 25stargeneral (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think I did that because I remember seeing somewhere on a Wikipedia article, whether it be Musk article, or either Twitter article, that said after he did his initial purging (Agrawal, Segal, Gadde, etc) that he assumed the position of CEO, which led me to do what I did. Obviously not a good choice. Unknown0124 (talk) 02:08, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, where was this discussed? [1]. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to rename the article Mpox some weeks ago.Graham Beards (talk) 06:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. And we may well need the admin (User:SilkTork) to shift it back and perhaps protect it. -- Colin°Talk 08:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have now move protected the article. SilkTork (talk) 10:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are the names “monkeypox” and “mpox” used in conjunction? Or is one used more than the other? How many people refer to the disease as “mpox” instead of “monkeypox”? Understandably we want to alleviate the discrimination associated, but up until last year, a lot of people didn’t know this virus existed.

As for the renaming to prevent or alleviate any discrimination: the Ebola virus—named after the Ebola River in DRC—was identified in 1976, and as we all know there was an outbreak between 2013 and 2016. As for Monkeypox, there has been a long history of white people comparing black people to monkeys or apes, and yes, it’s racist. Also, obviously, the disease is not exclusively transmitted by monkeys, you would have to be dumb to think that. Unknown0124 (talk) 12:35, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was thoroughly discussed before the page was moved from "Monkeypox" to "Mpox". Why didn't you initiate a discussion before reverting? I think the Ebola analogy is a red herring. You can't discriminate against rivers otherwise we would have to rename West Nile virus among others. Graham Beards (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regaarding Ebola, the only connection really is that it and Monkeypox were first identified in African countries. As for the discussions in the talk page, I should have read that before actually moving the article… Unknown0124 (talk) 13:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask you to explain this edit of yours to Tucker Carlson? You did not provide an edit summary, and without one, it looks politically motivated. MRN2electricboogaloo (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not providing an edit summary has been a habit I have been trying to break. I added the category "People with dyslexia", as it states in the personal life section of the article that he is dyslexic. As for the other stuff, you could argue that the removal of that appears to be politically motivated. I removed Trumpism from the movement section of the infobox because other conservative journalists don't have that on there, so far as I'm aware, and even his former colleagues Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, both of whom also host opinion shows on Fox News, don't have that on there. As for Carlson and COVID-19, he did talk about it before it became a serious issue (pandemic-level), though I'm assuming he changed his tune about it sometime during or after March 2020. Unknown0124 (talk) 17:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So you removed a category because you assumed it no longer applied? MRN2electricboogaloo (talk) 01:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant when I explained his history with COVID-19 before it reached pandemic levels, but I don't know when he actually changed his tune, that's why I said I was assuming it was during or after March 2020. The removal of the category was driven by confusion as to why it was there in the first place unless it was his touting of ivermectin as being beneficial for treating and preventing it. I guess I need to do some more reading! Unknown0124 (talk) 02:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Lyndon B. Johnson, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. LBJ was a human, not a cigarette. Binksternet (talk) 03:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How many cigarettes have you come across named Lyndon Baines Johnson or have served as President of the United States? None! Only a human can fulfill that position. I added the categories relating to smoking and cigarettes because he was a chain smoker. In fact, it states in the very article about him that he would smoke up to 60 cigarettes a day. Those same categories were added to the article about Walt Disney for literally the same reason: he was a chain smoker, and you can’t not find a picture of him despite Disney’s best efforts to remove the cigarette from said photo. I don’t know much about Barack Obama’s smoking other than he was a smoker. Unknown0124 (talk) 12:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First, I want to say this: the reason why that category was removed was because I've been on Twitter/X, especially after Elon Musk bought it, and I haven't seen any far-right or neo-Nazi material anywhere, and that was despite the fact that it was promoting Joe Biden, Fox News, and Matt Walsh on my mom's account while she had one. Second, should I want to consider the removal of a category, I will go about the talk pages, and if the opinions favor removal, I will provide a valid explanation for the removal (which is something I historically haven't done). Unknown0124 (talk) 16:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Just a quick Google search revealed eight reliable sources that state Twitter has had a notable increase in far-right content since Musk purchased it. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there (and I would also argue this line of thinking falls under original research). Feel free to make a new topic regarding the matter at Talk:Twitter, but I will personally vote to oppose removal of the category based on these sources.

Hello, Unknown0124,

Why did you remove all of the contents of this category? This is called "emptying categories out of process" and is highly discouraged. If you believe a category should be deleted, merged or renamed, make a proposal at WP:CFD do not simply remove articles without leaving an edit summary on why this was an inappropriate categorization.

If you have questions about this, please bring them the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This may be my personal thought process, but I feel as though articles whose subjects are people, and in this case, evangelical ministers or people of evangelical faith, could be labeled under the category “COVID-19 conspiracy theorists”, instead of “Evangelical COVID-19 conspiracy theorists”. Why, you might ask? I feel this way because the latter is labeling the subjects based on their faith.
At the time I emptied the category, there were six articles in the category, and half of them made no mention of Covid or conspiracy theories (one of them promoted ivermectin, but I think that would fall under the category “COVID-19 misinformation”).
