Hello, TJRC! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@AngusWOOF:, is the issue for you that there are portions of the article that are not sourced (which could be cured by deleting those statements); or do you think it does not meet notability standards? It now has several sources, only one of which (Billboard) is to the song rather than the album, and appears to meet WP:NALBUM criterion #1.

This is not actually not my article, I just edited it in the spirit of WP:RESCUE to cure the deficiencies that moved it to draft space; but if there are specific things you can point to to get it in shape for publication I'll do it; otherwise will let it drop. TJRC (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

TJRC, it doesn't seem to meet notability standards for albums, but perhaps a more thorough critical reception section with GNG reviews might show otherwise. It hasn't charted, so it would probably be a redirect to the artist. The "Gold" song already has its own article. There's no charting in the most common places (Billboard, ARIA, Official Charts) AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

TJRC, it looks like it was gold certified in Music Canada, so if you can add that to the article and indicate that in the lead, that should help notability. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:44, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done. By the way, I wasn't referring to the charting (I'd already checked and seen that it hadn't charted at least on Billboard), which is WP:NALBUM criterion #2; I was referring to criterion #1, subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works. TJRC (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

WP:NOTBROKEN

Didn't know. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. There are too many things to learn and too much content to get through regarding WP:MOS it can be overwhelming. This is especially true for someone like myself with a learning disability in reading comprehension. I appreciate your patience and fairness regarding my attempted good faith edits. Kimdorris (talk) 00:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

@Kimdorris: Don't give it another thought. I've been editing here for more than a decade and still find new aspects now and then. And that's such a little one, too. Enjoy your editing! TJRC (talk) 03:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Michael Collins (astronaut)

I'm going to quibble with your reversion/correction of me a bit. As it now stands, the sentence implies that each orbit was 48 minutes long and he was out of radio contact for the entirety of that time:

"During the 48 minutes of each orbit, he was out of radio contact with Earth; the feeling he reported was not loneliness, but rather 'awareness, anticipation, satisfaction, confidence, almost exultation'."

That's not correct. He was only out of contact during a specific part of the orbit - while he was on the opposite side of the Moon from Earth. It's that specific period of time the second part is referring to, which is why I read it as a dependent clause followed by an independent one (and therefore think the semicolon is inappropriate). Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 21:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I just found the corresponding sentence in the Apollo 11 article, which shows what I mean (and is a bit more fleshed out):

"In the 48 minutes of each orbit when he was out of radio contact with the Earth while Columbia passed round the far side of the Moon, the feeling he reported was not fear or loneliness, but rather 'awareness, anticipation, satisfaction, confidence, almost exultation'." Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 22:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Good quibble, and your subsequent edit makes it even better. TJRC (talk) 22:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Embarcadero Technologies, you may be blocked from editing. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I am not vandalizing; I restored a tag that you have four times removed, once after being warned, in clear violation of WP:3RR. TJRC (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

3RR does not apply to vandalism. You are adding a tag and violating the instructions associated with that tag (see talk page at Embarcadero Technologies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)). Stop disrupting Wikipedia. —Locke Cole • t • c 22:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

WP:VANDNOT. TJRC (talk) 22:23, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

And which one do you think excuses repeatedly adding a tag that requires disclosing what you think needs attention? Especially as you appear to have no actual knowledge of what the issue actually is... —Locke Cole • t • c 22:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Oh, I'm accused of vandalism? This is the 10th time I'm been called that, even on a Wiki Fandom account! ArtemisBeast (talk) 07:20, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

I have no knowledge of you being accused of vandalism; nor of any Wiki Fandom accounts. If you're referring to the comment left on your user page, the issue is that you are putting material in articles without any support from any reliable source. You probably mean well (so it's not vandalism), but it's still not a useful edit. TJRC (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing

Hello TJRC. Thank you for your message. I indeed must learn to make citations. I thought that linking to another Wikipedia page was sufficient citation. I also don't know HTML well enough to edit in that. What happened to the Visual Editor?72.223.22.7 (talk) 16:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

You don't have to do any HTML. The simplest (although not preferred way), particularly if it's a news article online on the Internet, is to at least include the URL to the page between the tags <ref> and </ref>. It's better to use the various {{cite}} templates, but that's just cosmetics. If you at least include the URL, someone else will likely come along and clean it up, and you've at least provided a basis to verify the information you added. Just make sure it's a reliable source like a legitimate news site; most of what's on the web is not (ironically, Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source, because anyone can edit it).

Is the visual editor no longer available? I didn't like it and never used it so I don't have any info on it. TJRC (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

WP:TWWPK

Hi, TJRC. I was working through my watchlist just now and saw this edit of yours, where your edit summary used a shortcut I didn't remember ever seeing before, WP:TWWPK. So I clicked and laughed out loud. I truly haven't ever seen that essay, but it's great, and I'll probably (have occasion to) use the abbreviation myself sometime. Thanks for the laugh, and happy editing! — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:27, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

That's pretty much the same way I discovered it! TJRC (talk) 22:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Your PROD nomination had been removed

Hi, your PROD nomination Walter Hilgers had been removed by a third editor who forgot to inform you so do I, you may consider taking it to AfD. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

I saw that. I put a comment on the article's talk page, inviting him to explain before taking it to AFD; so far no response. But thanks for the nudge, I'll specifically point it out on his talk page. TJRC (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

HAL 9000 info

Why did you remove my info on HAL 9000? Helenmomike (talk) 03:48, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Regarding AfD

I noticed your AfD just now and I thought you'd be interested in seeing a message I left for the user you cited, as I have noticed an issue with him being long standing, and intend to plug that hole since I suspect he won't change. --Tautomers_{(T C)} 01:30, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems to be a thing with him. I'm not sure what his problem is, but it sounds like he disagrees with WP:PROD in principle; or maybe (which is essentially the same thing) seems to think no article could possibly meet the requirements of PROD. Shrug. I meant to do the AFD a while ago. I still had his talk page on my watchlist from having tried to engage him in April, and your note there reminded me. (Dare I say it prodded me?) TJRC (talk) 01:41, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Revertion of execution of Strasser

Hi, Please see: "Your edit on Franz Strasser was reverted: Latest revision as of 18:48, 4 July 2021 (edit) (undo) (thanked) Eric (talk | contribs)" (Reverting edit(s) by Arrivisto (talk) to rev. 1013651220 by Eric: Reverting good-faith edit; photo is not of Strasser, see commons:File_talk:Karl_Morgenschweis_prays_for_condemned_prisoner.jpg (RW 16.1)) Tags: Undo RedWarn

It seems it ISN't Strasser! Perhaps my edit on Hanging was justified? Cheers. Arrivisto (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. I've revised accordingly, much closer to what you had. Thanks! TJRC (talk) 17:12, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Content Change on Article: Richard Berman

TJRC,

First, thank you for sending your message. The edit I made to Richard Berman's notable cases page was my attempt to link the case Gordon v. Softech International, Inc. to another article page, Docusearch. Docusearch is a subsidiary of Arcanum Investigations, Inc, which this case refers to.

If done incorrectly, please advise how to do so appropriately. ThanksWiki Arcanum (talk) 19:03, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

You'll need to find a valid reliable source that supports what you added -- namely that Docusearch was a defendant named in that suit -- and provide a reference to that source.

Note that Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. TJRC (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

TJRC, Thanks for you most recent comments on my Talk page. I misinterpreted your original comment because I was merely trying to "link" Richard Berman's notible case to the Docusearch article page. I didn't realize that I needed to cite that Docusearch was associated with it's parent company Arcanum Investigations. I thought this was apparent from the Docusearch article page. Anyway, here's a citation stating that Docusearch (aka docusearch.com) is a subsidiary of Arcanum. It is located in the 8th paragraph of an article on JDSupra website ( https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/second-circuit-rejects-strict-liability-00282/ ). Using this citation, can you please show me how to successfully link the Berman notible case to the Docusearch article page? Once I see it I can link other Wiki articles to the Docusearch article and it won't be an "orphan" page. Again, thank you for your assistance. Wiki Arcanum (talk) 19:30, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Not unless Docusearch was a party to the case, no.

I know you don't want the page you created to be an orphan, but you don't edit content on other article solely for the reason of having a link back to your page if it is not an improvement to the article; and certainly you don't do it in a case like this where you can't show that Docusearch was a party to the case and have no reference saying that it was.

Articles for Creation July 2021 Backlog Elimination Drive

Hello TJRC:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running until 31 July 2021.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is currently a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles. We're looking forward to your help!

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for Creation at 21:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC). If you do not wish to recieve future notification, please remove your name from the mailing list.

Thanks for revert on Disposable email address

To clarify: I am not affiliated by the site I added and my goal was not to advertise. The previously added link to another service led me to wrongly believe that links to example services were justified here and I wanted to add another provider that I often use. Removing both links is perfectly fine, thank you for taking care of that. --David-ri93 (talk) 10:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Nightfall

Hello, I tried to use {{Notif}} in my own user talk page towards you but it seems to not work. I don't know why. I am not familiar with Wiki subtleties. I was asking you to explain me the difference between the previous plot hole report and mine ? Thanks.

Hi, no problem; I replied on your talk page. (I always temporarily watch-list talk paged of editors where I've left comments so I can see if they are looking for a reply.) TJRC (talk) 19:47, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

"it has been edited"

The incessant yammering about "reliable sources" gets old. It seems as if I can't say "Paris is the capital of France" without a "reliable source." Even so, friends/operators of Wikipedia can freely sow this and that, altogether wherever, without the merest reference. The double standard is tiresome and reminds one of the practices of a witless Democrat who spends his life baselessly slamming Trump while gleefully ignoring Biden's rapidly advancing senility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:4B00:C200:0:0:0:2A22 (talk) 19:03, July 23, 2021 (UTC)

"Paris is the capital of France" clearly falls within WP:BLUE. Your reverted edits do not.

And I don't know what you're gong on about with the Trump and Biden thing. Your reverted unsourced edits to torture related articles have nothing to do with either. TJRC (talk) 19:12, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Spammer

It's an IP hopper, working at it for days. 213 remaining. Thinking of writing a script, likely they will keep at it. -- GreenC 22:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

You know, apart from the malformed wikilink, and the lack of sourcing (I'm guessing what they add is true, just not sourced), they aren't bad edits. TJRC (talk) 22:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

It's the overt placement in the lead section, often as its own paragraph. And this is all they do on Wikipedia, and hide tracks with rolling IPs. Chances of a paid editor or COI are high. If they were adding it to awards sections where it didn't exist before, that should stay. -- GreenC 00:22, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Ah; the ones I'd come across on my watchlist (Thomas P. Stafford, Kathryn D. Sullivan) didn't go to the lede.

There was a guy who did something like this a few years ago, affiliated with an aviation museum, adding boilerplate text that his museum had an exhibit on [subject]; with no reference other than to the home page for the museum, which had nothing about the subject in question. TJRC (talk) 00:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Hel (being)

Could you please review my addition to the Talk:Hel (being) page? I really don't think I can get a consensus on my requested additions because the page simply does not have much traffic, but overall I believe I make some good points in my post to the talk page on why new requested section should be added. MrGoldenfold007 (talk) 16:02, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Also I would like to bring to your attention that the Wikipedia:Dispute Resolution page states the following:

"When you find a passage in an article that is biased, inaccurate, or unsourced the best practice is to improve it if you can rather than deleting salvageable text. For example, if an article appears biased, add balancing material or make the wording more neutral. Include citations for any material you add. If you do not know how to fix a problem, ask for help on the talk page."

My information is neither biased, inaccurate, or unsourced. I linked my information to Age of Mythology's manual via Archive.org and was simply stating facts, not opinion whatsoever. You also simply keep deleting my submissions, rather than providing simply feedback or advice regarding revision. I would be happy to revise any problematic areas of my edits, but if you cannot provide any advice regarding that than I will put my edits back up. Keep in mind the first time you questioned my sources I did fixed them so it is pretty clear I am willing to cooperate. MrGoldenfold007 (talk) 20:28, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I was a little reluctant to reply there right away, since I'm obviously in opposition to it, and I thought it would be better to let others chime in than to dominate; my edit summaries made my position clear. But since you pinged me I replied there. I don't intend to get into a long discussion (I'm mindful of WP:BLUDGEON), but I set out my position.

My issue is not that it's biased, that it is inaccurate, or that it is unsourced. It is that it is trivial and irrelevant to the subject of the article.

If you're concerned about the lack of traffic, you can always post a (neutral) message on a pertinent Wikiproject talk page asking for input. In this case, Wikipedia:WikiProject Mythology/Norse mythology work group is probably the best choice. TJRC (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I placed a neutral call for input on the parent project: see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mythology#Hel (being) : proposed addition of "In popular culture" section. With any luck, that will help stimulate some discussion. TJRC (talk) 21:13, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Consensus was reached on the Talk:Hel (being) page regarding the inclusion of the section in question and I have gone ahead and made the changes. MrGoldenfold007 (talk) 01:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Great, that's all I ever asked for. You have a little bit of WP:REFSPAM in there; please clean that up. TJRC (talk) 01:31, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Cleveland Indians revert

TJRC, thanks for the kind note on the revert. I've made another attempt at that same sentence and avoided the gerund problem entirely. I think that what I used reads more smoothly than either previous option, and I also noticed (which I'd missed before) that the part of the sentence before that point was pretty poorly written, so I edited that portion, also. As I wrote in my comment, it can probably be further improved by restructuring or by breaking it up into multiple sentences. Holy (talk) 22:21, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Looks good to me! TJRC (talk) 22:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Grammar nitpicking

Your edit summary said " but if you do, please do so with correct grammar". As a long-time wikieditor, you should have known it is unbecoming to chastise non-native speakers for their grammar. I an very sorry and blushing that I do not feel articles as you do, but sometimes I just cannot help it. And the very least you could have explained what mistake I had made. Lembit Staan (talk) 18:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry. First, if you had cited a source, I would have simply corrected the grammar. The real problem with your edit was not the grammar, but the lack of a source for the edit you were proposing. The grammar comment was in anticipation that you may have had a source and would be re-adding it with the source, and was intended as just a heads-up to that. My comment was a little awkward only because of the space limitations of the edit summary, and was not intended to be harsh, but I see it came off that way, so I apologize for that.

I must admit that I probably wasn't too concerned with your feelings, given that your own edit summary was "Dont mess with things you dont know," which was at least as insulting as asking you to use correct grammar.

The grammar error was that, in your original edit, you didn't include "the". If the edit was otherwise supported by sources, I would have just added it.

Your current edit avoided that, so there's no need to correct that. I will, however, go in and revise your spelling to American English, since the subject of the article has close ties to the US (I would keep the British English if it were a quote.) TJRC (talk) 18:46, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry about "dont mess with". Most of my conversational English comes from the movies where I rarely see ladies and gentlemen lately. I will try and watch my tongue in the future. Since we are spilling our hearts here, let me say that my impolite response was caused by your terse (I wanted to write "curt", but thought better to consult Wiktionary :-) edit summary. I saw a sloppy phrasing and fixed it. Since you are a lawyer, you should understand that the difference is rather significant. Sadly, while the phrasing "would criminalize accusing Poles of..." is de jure an incorrect interpretation, not surprisingly, there have already been attempts by Polish conservatives to do exactly the thing: to sue for "accusing Poles". So the outcry about the law was "prescient". Lembit Staan (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Fine, but please be mindful of WP:OR and editing the article without a source that includes your reason for believing it an error; particularly when your edit is contrary to the source being cited. TJRC (talk) 19:16, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

warning

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you purposefully and blatantly harass other editors. an incorrect warning is considered harassing, next time you harass me you will be directly reported Tehonk (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Your warning was for altering the name of an individual in a BLP article here with no sourcing whatsoever. I would have given you a level-1 warning but for the fact that you have already received multiple warnings for disruptive editing, which you have concealed from your talk page, and been blocked at least once for it. Please stop. TJRC (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I made an edit (it was not verifiable with the present source in the first place), you reverted it. End of story. Your nonsense warning is then harassment. You can't give me any warning at all at that point. I did not conceal anything, I don't have to keep things on my talk page. You got your only and last warning. Tehonk (talk) 17:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Just for posterity:

• warnings: [1], [2], [3]
• deletions of warnings and other evidence of misbehavior: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]
• block for disruptive editing: [12], [13]

I'm not losing any sleep over not assuming this particular editor's good faith given their track record. TJRC (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I have a right to empty my talk page, you can't call that "misbehavior" like this. And you have more warnings than mine, do you want me to list them for posterity? With 2 of 3 of these people we got along in the end. Stop with your harassment and stay away. I won't warn you again. Tehonk (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

My apologies, as I saw an alert on reverted content on a high-traffic article and accidentally reverted your correct restoration of the content, thinking I was doing the same restore you already did yourself.

Bob Newhart revisions

I'm not sure why using other WIKIPEDIA articles that are sourced and vetted (as in that for THE ENTERTAINERS), in describing Newhart's co-hosting of this 1964-65 series, but in his case only till the end of 1964, are being considered insufficient. I can go back to TOTAL TELEVISION and the Marsh volume and redundantly cite those pages, and will do so in the future, if that is what's deemed necessary (note also the captioned photograph in THE ENTERTAINERS's post, which shows Newhart and Burnett holding guitars while standing around a photo of Valente, as the initial three hosts of the series).

You don't provide any source at all; and you cannot use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia. TJRC (talk) 20:40, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that a message you recently left to Priyapk1995 may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. The editor hasn't made an edit since I and then you left a warning on their page. A second warning before they may have even read the first is rather harsh.

Thanks for this. You're right, and I particularly did not consider the timing issue. I'll ease up. TJRC (talk) 21:53, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Question as to "reliable sources"

Sorry! I have not edited for some time, and the rules have changed. I attempted to add data that was originally on this article. Yes, the article is about me. What constitutes a "reliable source"? I noted that I received a Fulbright Scholarship, and I am even now looking at the diploma on my wall. How can I link that to Wikipedia? In what format? I also re-added that I was an actor with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, I included a link to the Wikipedia article, "Oregon Shakespeare Festival Production History." I have been a professor for over 35 years, and yet do not quite understand what Wikipedia wants as a "reliable source." Can you help me? MacDUFFY (talk) 02:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

SCOTUS Lists

Is your purpose in reverting to abbreviations for the first name or word of a party a wish to comply with the Bluebook? If so, then please refer to a portion of rule 10.2 below:

10.2 Case Names

* * * Always retain in full the first word in each party’s name (including a relator) except as provided below.

You can refer to the rest of the rule in your Bluebook. Yes, there are some exceptions described in the rest of 10.2 (which I agree should be followed), but in general that is why I eliminated abbreviations for the initial word in many cases.

You are quite right to get rid of the periods in, for example, N.L.R.B., so thank you for that. It shows the perils of trying to pull the Bluebook rules from memory instead of from its text.
