Note: This page covers most of 2016 and 2017. There's stuff from about July 2014 until mid-January 2016 here, and some even older stuff, from when I first started editing until about July 2014, here. But I often delete stuff from my talk, so none of these pages is complete.
Greetings, FYI at Talk:Antonino da Patti Revision history - the article tab is red linked. Unable to find the article. If article was deleted, should talk go as well? I'm just reporting here as I don't know how to correct. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 16:11, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
AWB applies automatic formatting fixes to an article independently of the specific edit that a user is making — so if it made bad formatting changes of its own while I was in the process of applying the ((uncategorized)) tag, that's a software bug that needs to be addressed by AWB's programmers, and not a personal error on my part. And the "uncategorized" tag has to be there if the article doesn't have any categories on it, so you don't get to dismiss that as a "useless" edit that nobody should have been making at all — there were almost 1,500 articles on the uncategorized articles list yesterday, of which I didn't even manage to get through half so there are still over 800, so one software bug on one article does not require me to forego AWB and manually tag them all as uncategorized one by one. And further, if you're not familiar with how AWB works, there's no way for me to have "seen I screwed up", as you so angrily put it; it does not show you the "after" view of a page after you've applied an edit, but rather moves on to the next page in the batch. So I'm sorry it happened, but none of it represents me screwing up or acting irresponsibly. If there's a bug in AWB's "automated cleanup" programming, that's for AWB's programmers to fix.

Hello Justlettersandnumbers, thanks for your kind message. :-) That user has been blocked on it.wiki as well and we worked on his page too. Thanks for remembering me so kindly the policies about pages' chronology, I know them, since I am sysop on it.wiki since 2006. :-)) But this is a different case. I will try to explain it with my English. At the beginning, I published that text in Polli Corporation, but after a while I discovered that Polli Corporation was a different company (even if not notable and a vandalism), so I copied my text in Polli (company), a new page. Please note that it was a new and rewritten page, created from scratch. :) The page Polli Corporation should be deleted, while the other one is totally new, therefore - in this case - it is not correct to keep the chronology of a vandalism, and I am actually the first user who wrote that text. Hope it helps. Cheers. :) --Lucas (talk) 03:11, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I did revert back to Italian. See talk page for artist. No one denies the truth of your assertion, but the consensus has been to call such persons "Italian", and I think there are good reasons for that. Sydney Joseph Freedberg in his volume, titled "Painting in Italy, 1500-1600", discusses painters from Milan to Venice to Naples. The same is true for Rudolf Wittkower in his Pelican History of Art, "Art and Architecture Italy, 1600-1750". GB Pittoni is mentioned in page 91. Both these are major works in the topic by major scholars. They see a role for using the term "Italian" to describe painters from these regions in these eras. If this is still very contentious, the prior debate would have to be re-opened.Rococo1700 (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I see you were the one to strip the David_W._Allan page. David is my father. We spent a lot of time creating that page, with references, etc. I can't fathom why you stripped it. He is a world-leading scientist. What are you? IEEE is doing a feature issue on his Allan Variance soon. http://www.ieee-uffc.org/publications/tr/special-issue-variance-50th.asp
I see that older versions of that page here are unavailable to restore to. Why?
It's this kind of nonsense that spurred me 12 years ago to start http://PESWiki.com, the best exotic free energy website in the world. I can't stand the kind of idiocy that occurs here at Wikipedia, personified by what you just did to the article about my dad. A lot of people worked on that page, then you stripped it, for no good reason.
You should be banned from Wikipedia, but you're probably one of its key administrators.
How do we restore that page? How do we banish you?

Justlettersandnumbers, Can you please clarify your ongoing issue with the updates being made to the Bruce Silverstein Gallery page? Your comments from the previous edits: "Not an improvement; this page is about the gallery, not a person; copyright violations, too." If you look at other gallery wiki pages (i.e. Pace MacGill) the same format is being used and you do not take issue with this? The gallery owner of any gallery is a large part of the historical and contemporary program of the gallery. Might you suggest ways for the BSG page to be built in a more appropriate manner?

Hello. I see that you detected copyright infringement in the Baltimore and Ohio article. I am suspecting that the article Building the Virginian Railway might count: If I were to look up some phases or excerpts from the latter article in quotations in Google Books, I usually get a result of the H. Reid book The Virginian Railway. The searched excerpts includes the book result even if it doesn't mention the railroad. I can't copy any excerpt to my message in case it's copyrighted material.

Hello, I was wondering how the Nigora article may be edited to improve it? I created the original article for public consumption/education on the Nigora breed ten years ago, and I have done my best to keep it updated ever since. The stub that exists in place of the article now contains inaccurate information regarding the foundation breeds, which needs to be changed. It also does not contain any in-depth breed information. I understand there was some concern that copyright may have been violated by content in the article; can you explain to me where you feel this may have be done? I own the intellectual property rights to the information used. I am also the founding member of the American Nigora Breeders Assoc. and own the content found in the ANGBA website and elsewhere. I provide the information, and my time, on a purely voluntary basis; I receive no compensation, monetary or otherwise, for my work. As to conflict of interest, I suppose this would best pertain to the Nigora Goat Breeders Society, LLC (now defunct): There was a paragraph in the Wikipedia Nigora article which stated, "The American Nigora Goat Breeders Association (ANGBA) is not affiliated in any way with the "Nigora Goat Breeders Society, LLC" (NGBS) created October 31, 2013, nor does ANGBA endorse or approve the breed standards of the NGBS." The reason for this is it was discovered that NGBS was plagiarizing the ANGBA website and group content, verbatim, and a cease and desist letter was sent to the founder of the NGBS. Since the NGBS was disbanded in 2015 it would make even having mention of the caveat moot, except for the fact their closing has left NGBS members without paperwork on their goats, and these members are now contacting the ANGBA to find out why they have not received paperwork from NGBS. Please let me know how to best improve the Wikipedia Nigora article. Thank you. Irthumper (talk) 10:39, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed that all of the IPs adding WP:BLP, quite possibly WP:COI-violating information to Bobby Lockwood geolocate to the UK (which is a tad obvious, I know), but the majority in the 86.* range, with some going into the 94.* range. Furthermore, this is quite clearly the same person as "Jasmine-Rioxox", as one of these IPs attempted to restore her version of the article - I had asked her in December to tweak the wording, which she did, and that exact wording was used in a restored version. What do you think? Is this worthy of being reported to an administrator? Perhaps page protection on Bobby Lockwood, under "persistent BLP violations"? I am interested in hearing your opinion on this matter. (On a personal note, I want to thank you for keeping an eye on the article. Much appreciated.) --Ches (talk) (contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
JL&N, I thought I would take this here from the talk page for Course of Dealing to lower the level of excitement. I don't know how to tell you this in a more polite way, but you guys are just wrong about copyright law. What BD said is right, and you are getting bad advice from somebody.
Cornell cannot possibly have a copyright interest in the UCC. I have been teaching copyright and patent law for 25 years at GW Law School in DC, and I don't know (and am pretty sure I have never known) any copyright scholar who would agree that Cornell has a copyright in the UCC. The UCC is a statute, a uniform law adopted in many states. You cannot have a copyright in that.
Cornell is simply lying if they say they have a copyright in the UCC. They are not its author and it was dedicated into the public domain about 40 or 50 years ago.
You need to get better legal advice if it is as you described it. Your current legal advice source is terrible if it is telling you that it is copyright infringement to copy statutory texts.
There must be Wikipedians who are US or UK copyright lawyers who will help you out if you need it on basic copyright law principles. I would. I am sure BD would, Ed Colins too. Probably Notecardforfree would. Greg Jack (Pickett) might. There are more. Thank you for your no doubt well intended contributions to WP.
(talk page stalker)PraeceptorIP, while the data itself might not be copyrightable, the work still can be, the web design, the typesetting (of hardcopy) and so on.

First, many thanks for the "Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!" - as I've only worked on this project for almost 10 years.
Beyond that, I think it's clear that your tagging of my work has gone entirely overboard. Regarding the Suzi Bass Award article, everything was properly sourced and attributed. I noticed there are 14 links to reliable sources in that article. And because you think you have found matching phrases like "is to celebrate and promote atlanta professional theatre through the evaluation and recognition of excellence" which is verbatim the awards' stated mission; or phrases like "the suzi bass awards founded in 2003," which is when the organization was founded; or generic phrases like: "twenty one professional theatres," "the color purple," "professional theatre community," "the suzi bass awards inc," "participating theatres," and "suzi bass awards is a not for profit corporation," etc. does not constitute copyright violations. They are reliably sourced statements of fact. They are not editorial content.
Likewise, I have not edited on the Jack Mitchell (photographer) since 2012. Specifically, not since this edit on March 10, 2012. So the fact that you would tag that entire page, four years later; after dozens of other editors have contributed - and with over 16 reliable sources in the article, all because of one source you believe may be suspect? And because of generic matches like: "alvin ailey american dance theater and," "on photographing dance and dancers," "mitchell moved from florida to new york city," "his own photographs," "from 1960 to 1970," etc., - indicates to me the use of the duplicate detector tool with very little understanding of the discretion required to use it effectively. Once again, these are statements of fact. In some cases, they are proper names! They are not editorial content.
Additionally, rather than tagging these articles, you should have followed policy required by WP:DCV and addressed your concerns on the talk pages first. I now see you have done the same thing by wholesale reverting my edits on Mike Nussbaum as well. Kindly revert your tags and state your concerns on the respective articles' talk pages, which policy requires. There they can be properly addressed. X4n6 (talk) 10:33, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
If the criteria for speedy deletion do not apply, you should blank the article or the appropriate section with the
((subst:copyvio|url=insert URL here))
template, and list the page at Wikipedia:Copyright problems; see instructions. This will give interested contributors a week to verify permission for the text or propose a rewrite. If, after a week, the page still appears to be a copyright infringement and no usable rewrite is proposed, it may be deleted by any administrator or reduced to a non-infringing stub.
If all of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement or removing the problem text is not an option because it would render the article unreadable, check the page history; if an older non-infringing version of the page exists, you should revert the page to that version.
"Handling of suspected violations of copyright policy depends on the particulars of a given case. If you suspect a copyright violation but are uncertain if the content is copyrighted or whether the external site is copying from Wikipedia, you should at least bring up the issue on that page's discussion page."
I quickly checked this page and found that a fragment of text starting from The GIC channels are divided into three types: (1) a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-n ethyl-4- isoxazole propionate (AMPA)- was indeed copied, however it was copied not from the patent, but from the corresponding TCDB entry (this user uses TCDB abstracts). Both the patent and the TCDB entry contain the same text. Given that TCDB exists for a very long time, well known, and is under free reuse license, I would think that authors of the patent copy-pasted this text from TCDB, without providing appropriate attribution. The same could be with some other alleged copyright violations by this user. Yes, I am pretty much sure that the copy from TCDB was taken by authors of the patent. Let's compare the patent with another TCDB entry [5]. Both include same text (each with N- and C-termini on the inside of the cell, two amphipathic transmembrane spanning segments...) in another paragraph. Note that both paragraphs in patent that reuse text from TCDB do not contain any references, whereas other paragraphs contain references. If this is a copyright violation, it was made by authors of the patent. My very best wishes (talk) 15:34, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers - thank you for looking at the draft of the article on this company. I had submitted this article previously and revised the wording to address the issue of it coming across as promotional. I thought I had done enough to rectify this issue, but it looks like not enough was done. I would try fixing this if it weren't for the other issue of source material. I think I've already uncovered as many sources as are available at present and if these are insufficient, it's going to be difficult to successfully overcome the problem. The organisation is quite well known in their sector so it may be that more usable sources can be included. In any case, thanks for taking the time on this occasion. Fbell74 (talk) 02:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
Please explain how you came to the conclusion that the History section of Colégio Anglo Maringá contained a direct translation. I was very careful to cite the source and to use my own words. I don't believe anyone involved in the copyright violation 'investigation' actually speaks Portuguese. I can assure you that it was a good faith edit and that it was not a direct translation. Thanks. giso6150 (talk) 13:37, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
The IP that was responsible for the copyvio recently rolled back on Harrison Smith (American football) made a few more edits around that time to other American football players. Seems some of them came from the players' university bios, just like Smith's, and were closely paraphrased. Duron Carter looks the most suspect. Also, a trustable user informed me that the IP apparently edits as User:Gcveintee now. Lizard (talk) 00:57, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to ask (sincerely, and not in a pain-in-the-ass way) where the policy is about deleting PAID COI articles via AfD? I do see that the Orangemoody investigation resulted in a bunch of deletions, as you describe. However to me that seems like a higher-level admin intervention-slash-cleanup job. I'm really curious to see where it is written that COI/Paid editing can lead to deletion at AfD. I've seen people say not to consider COI lots of times at AfD, but never the deltion policy you mention. Thanks in advance for your time! HappyValleyEditor (talk) 21:44, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. If you ever make a category by mistake, as you did with Category:Montain_ranges_of_the_Apennine_Mountains - don't just blank it. If you tag it with ((db-self)) it will get deleted faster than if a third party uses the ((db-empty)) method and it's better to get things deleted than to have blank categories lying around. Cheers.

Hello! I know you are active in dealing with copyright violations, so I thought you might be interested in the new CopyPatrol tool from Community Tech. It combs recent changes and lists possible copyright violations. The interface should be straightforward; hit "No action needed" if it is a false positive, properly attributed quotes, etc, and "Page fixed" if it needed correction and you've done so (this would include tagging for speedy deletion). We plan to add more neat features like rollback, CSD tagging, and issuing of templates to the user's talk page. Hope you find this useful, and thanks for your ongoing efforts in this important area of work! :) — MusikAnimal talk 01:10, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't know why you deleted the many integrations that I provided to the article about the Maremma Sheepdog. I didn't provide the sources because it was just a work of translation from the Italian article. Do you have the slightest idea of how much time and dedication it took to edit the English article, which is a mess and it is very lacking?
First of all I would change the name of the article, for nobody in Italy calls that dog 'Maremma', but - even if the ENCI calls it 'Cane da Pastore Maremmano-Abruzzese' - everybody knows it by the name of 'Pastore Abruzzese' ('Abruzzese Shepherd Dog'). It's just the American shallowness that changed its international name on unknown basis. (You may want to provide sources for that)
Also, being that breed almost unknown to the rest of the world, I wanted to improve the article. And, in order to do it, it is impossible to get the countless sources that you would normally have for Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds, so the article necessarily needs to rely on the information provided by the Italian breeders and shepherds, respectively on their web pages and on Italian TV documentaries. That is why your necessity to make the article more enciclopedic falls apart.
You could have been right in deleting a few sentences of mine, but not the whole sections about the name, the origin, the Behaviour and the Training of the dog, which are easily verifiable and documented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kid Hey GBE (talk • contribs) 15:11, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. My page was marked for deletion for various reasons to which I contested. Apparently, that was a waste of my time. Not sure why you're able to contest if it doesn't warrant further discussion. Nonetheless, is the page completely deleted, or can it be retrieved? I was in the middle of revising it to better meet the guidelines. I declared my conflict with the article, and did not agree with the notion that it was for promotional purposes, based on the fact that the subject is notable person. If you had read the revised version, before deleting it, you would have noticed that ALL sources were newspapers and/or magazine articles or repute. I had requested in my contest for assistance on direction and or help with the article itself moving forward. I would still like that assistance, if the article can be re-instated for revision and review. Please advise. I can understand wanting to ensure all content on the site is proper and legitimate, but if a page is created under my account as a draft, and not in the public domain, I'm not sure why it has to be deleted and can't simply be revised and re-reviewed.

Two days ago I inserted information reported on the New York Times "The museum is situated in a 150-year-old building that was transformed from an old, closed-down hotel into a museum after four years of renovation." to the page at Roberto Gagliardi
User:Justlettersandnumbers removed this insertion within minutes and once again censored information found on accredited sources for unclear and unjustifiable reasons. User:Justlettersandnumbers then proceeded to remove the main points from the page, stripping it of its most important parts that are well-sourced and have been on the page for some time.
The actions of User:Justlettersandnumbers are not based on facts but on personal presumptions and he does not act by the book but by his own standards.
User:Justlettersandnumbers has continually censored (over several months), not only the sentence "The museum is situated in a 150-year-old building that was transformed from an old, closed-down hotel into a museum after four years of renovation" but other important facts from highly reputable sources known all around the world such as "La Nazione" (in the top 5 Italian newspapers) the Evening Standard, the Council of Chianciano Terme and Saatchi Museum's "Art and Music" official printed magazine (among other sources). These sources deemed the information in the public interest in Italy, the USA and the U.K. but User:Justlettersandnumbers strangely decided that the information was irrelevant or found some other reason to remove it.
People on wikipedia are published due to their personal and professional achievements. Once a person is deemed as notable, personal and professional information of certain stature is relevant if, of course, is backed up by reliable sources. This user has disputed very prestigious publications (who deemed the information notable enough to publish) and has demoted information as not fit for an encyclopedia due to its professional and personal nature when such facts are exactly what a page about a notable "person" are all about.
This user's contributions seem to have been carried out with the intention to remove the foundations of this page with the aim of eventually having it totally removed. This user has failed to have the page removed already once but continues to undermine the page by gradually eroding the page of its content.
User:Justlettersandnumbers undermines the foundations of Wikipedia and damages the integrity of thousands of other administrators, deleting the truth and betraying the bonafide of other wikipedia collaborators. In carrying out his censorship based on prejudice and in ignoring the facts, he is acting against the moral principles of Wikipedia.
User:Justlettersandnumbers , from an analysis of his actions on this page, can be defined as unfit to collaborate with a serious organisation like Wikipedia due to lack of proper and independent judgement.
It has become clear that the desire to demonstrate his power as censor has overshadowed his important duty to remain unbiased and serve the truth.
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.238.35 (talk) 16:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi - that large block quote from the 2008 study seems very much overkill, especially in the light of this 2013 report.
"Significance
Ancient DNA sequences from chickens provide an opportunity to study their human-mediated dispersal across the Pacific due to the significant genetic diversity and range of archaeological material available. We analyze ancient and modern material and reveal that previous studies have been impacted by contamination with modern chicken DNA and, that as a result, there is no evidence for Polynesian dispersal of chickens to preColumbian South America. We identify genetic markers of authentic ancient Polynesian chickens and use them to model early chicken dispersals across the Pacific. We find connections between chickens in the Micronesian and Bismarck Islands, but no evidence these were involved in dispersals further east. We also find clues about the origins of Polynesian chickens in the Philippines"
That source is also used in Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact theories#Claims involving chickens, a section which is a mess - the two paragraphs need combining. Doug Weller talk 12:41, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Instead of responding to what I believe are logical arguments presented in cooperative language, @Justlettersandnumbers: ignored me completely, until he/she finally dealt the “COI” card. I believe this is an “ad hominem” attack, as per Graham’s Hierarchy of Disagreement, if not actually name calling, going against the fundamental Wikipedia policy of “assuming good faith.” Perhaps it has been a problem that I have posted anonymously, and therefore have not gained respect, so I am now a registered user, to ask one more time, for Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs) to address my concerns, which I feel are legitimate, before I take these issues to Dispute resolution.Freespeechman (talk) 07:58, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Please have a look at Wikipedia:Double redirects, particularly "Wikipedia's MediaWiki software is currently configured to not follow the second redirect"
. When you created Smaland (cattle) as a redirect to Småland (cattle) (itself a redirect), you made a double redirect, which does not work.
You may be misreading Category:Redirects with possibilities: "Articles should link to these redirects. Do not retarget links to these redirects directly to the article to which they redirect." This is guidance to editors not to change links (within articles) that link directly to the redirect. In other words, "don't change [[Smaland (cattle)]] in an article into [[Swedish Red Pied|Smaland (cattle)]]". On the other hand, it is essential that double redirects be resolved to the eventual target page, because they simply doesn't work otherwise. Hope that makes sense now. --RexxS (talk) 22:43, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Why have you moved so many articles on Italian abbeys from their standard English language names, at which most of them were stable, to Italian names, with no discussion whatsoever? You were wrong to do this - see the standards on use of English article titles, common names (in English) and so forth: you were presumably unaware of them, or you would not have caused so much damage. Please move them back again. Eustachiusz (talk) 22:46, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
Just as I moved some of those articles from one name to another, you have done the same. Some of those articles were first written by me, and I agree with the WP article title policy, that I should now have named them the way I did. You can start a [[[WP:RM|move request]] to move them back. But as it stands the category of Italian abbeys has some abbeys called all the following ways:
We need a consensus. Other categories for other countries provide a template. Please provide an argument that substantiates your position and do not just revert the names given by author on a whim. For example, Abbey of Santa Maria delle Macchie, San Ginesio should be Santa Maria delle Macchie abbey, San Ginesio. If you wish to change this, please use Move request. I will post this to User:Eustachiusz also. It is always good to see who is interested in a certain topic.
Rococo1700 (talk) 03:41, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
In my view there has been no standard in nomenclature for naming abbeys or monastery. When in doubt, see what is customary: In reviewing Category:Benedictine monasteries:
the German category (137 pages) and the American site (39 pages) follow the sequence of (Name) abbey or Abbey. The French category (115 pages) uses both the sequence above or Abbey (Name). No consistency. The Spanish category favors monastery (since abbey has no direct translation in Spanish) and Monastery of (Name), which mirrors Spanish language grammar.
In looking at the choices, I prefer the German and American naming system, it seems the most consistent, and gives the primary name primacy, always helpful.

Hey there Justlettersandnumbers, the 4 books referenced from links on Amazon.com mention the subject Charlie Zeleny and actually public domain information referenced in the original Wikipedia page article that has been up for over 5 years on the subject Charlie Zeleny. It is common knowledge that the subject is in fact a pro drummer, music director, producer and solo artist. The Charlie Zeleny Wikipedia page has been up for over 5 years (last major update 2011 prior to 2016) and looks like it was actually referenced in the Encyclopedia of Bohemian and Czech-American Biography, Volume 1 by Miloslav Rechcigl Jr. which was released just recently on November 10th, 2016.
Here are multiple sources stating that Charlie Zeleny is an American drummer, music director, producer and solo artist:
Please remove the incorrect copyright claim when you get a chance. Also, please let me know if I need to change the reference to Amazon's books in any way to avoid this issue in the future. Thank you very much. 100.35.194.25 (talk) 14:53, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Not sure why the infobox on the Kathiwari article formatted so strangely; perhaps just because no photo. As far as a "proper" infobox, if you have ideas for things to change at ((Infobox horse breed)), feel free to pop over there and initiate a discussion. If adding a separate parameter for height range is one idea, I'm not completely opposed, though clearly there is the issue of the partial truce that I definitely do not want to stir up again.

Thanks for your attention to Alexandre Mars and finding that copyvio. I'm not sure if you saw the discussion on the article's talk page or on WP:COIN, but Mars' PR director, Jennepicfoundation (talk · contribs) has been running roughshod over that article.

You're quite right, I have no idea what the group is playing in the picture. They are clearly a trombone quartet, but that only meets the very broad definition of an aequale, as a piece for equal voices or instruments, which is not really what the article is about. I have inserted a more clearly-associated illustration: a score of a 19th-century trombone funeral quartet. HLHJ (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
In der ersten Klasse wird bei Ankunft der Geistlichkeit durch eine kurze Trauermusik (Equal) mit Posaunen oder andern Blasinstrumenten das Zeichen zur geistlichen Trauerhandlung fuer die Anwesenden gegeben, nach deren Vollendung sich der Leichenzug in bewegung sesset, welches wieder mittelst der blasenden Trauermusik angezeigt wird, mit welcher dann waerend des Zuges die Gesangmusik, die ein drei- oder vierstimmiges Misserere singet, abwechselt bis zum Eingange der Kirche oder Grabstaette, wo der Einsegnung der Vers.: Requiem aeternam, gesungen wird. Nach erfolgter Einsegnung und dem allgemeinem Gebet wird eine Trauer-Motette gesungen.
For first-class [funerals], the arrival of the clergy will be announced by a short mourning-music (Equale) played on trombones or other wind instruments. This will mark the beginning of the funeral service. After this, the funeral procession will set out, again suitably announced by mourning music on wind instruments. During the procession, this shall be played alternately with a three- or four-voice choral Misserere until arrival at the entrance of the church or graveyard, where the Requiem aeternam is sung in benediction. After the benediction and common prayer, a mourning motet is sung.
To all who watch or visit this page:
My very best wishes for the Christmas holidays and for the New Year. For family reasons I will be on Wikipedia only infrequently (if at all) for several days from now. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:47, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your edit to Template:Beef. Please help me update the articles removed from the navbox by removing the navbox from them (WP:BIDIRECTIONAL). Ibadibam (talk) 23:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
I restored the beef cattle category on the Piedmontese because they are considered premium beef producers and are established as a foundation breed (F1) for beef cattle (F2). I understood that Category: Beef was intended for food, but cattle that produce both beef (F1) and dairy products (the latter of which is actually a secondary trait world-wide for this breed unlike Holsteins) should not eliminate them from being categorized as beef cattle. The F1 bulls and cows are used far more often in beef production than anything else. Atsme📞📧 23:56, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
We probably need to have a broader discussion at WPEQ over whether putting "History" or "Characteristics" first in breed articles should be standardized or on an article-by-article basis. The latter may be the best approach, but the problem is when it's a fine line. (i.e. long history sections before describing appearance can be discouraging to the younger reader that often is the primary consumer of horse breed articles. I flipped one on the Kathiawari due to its prior GA status, but most of the time, the distinction is not a big deal because the articles are short anyway, so no long sections to discourage the reader. Montanabw(talk) 18:28, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
You may want to take some of the material in this source with a grain of salt; while it may be accurate for stating something is an endangered breed, it listed the Waler horse as an extinct breed, which it most certainly is not ([13], [14], [15], etc...). The same report also lists the "Palouse" as a breed of Australia -- and that is an old name for the American Appaloosa (see Palouse River). They also classify the "warmblood" as an Australian breed. I presume they got their lists from the DAD-IS or something? (big sigh) These governmental agency reports that get relied upon are absolutely terrible. (You've heard me rant about the USA "breeds"before... the "cow pony.," "broomtail" and the "cayuse" listed as breeds? Arrgh) Anyway, just letting you know that these international agencies may have a GIGO problem with their data. They are more RS than the fan breed pages you have diligently been trying to deal with (and thank you), but they are kind of worrisome. Montanabw(talk) 00:29, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I just kinda stumbled across this article in a very indirect way. I guess you could say I have a very minor interest, but not a conflict of interest here. In any case, I'll probably work at the article slowly over a couple of weeks. I may ask a very good editor to help a bit. In any case let me know if you have any objections to any of my edits. There's a lot of material and a lot of COI there, so I'll se what I can do. Smallbones(smalltalk) 20:59, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Looked at a fairly superficial review like a probable keep to me, but I cannot read the foreign language sources, figured you would have some credibility on this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aura D'Angelo. My own view open to change pending further info... Montanabw(talk) 00:57, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
You marked this page for speedy deletion on the grounds of alleged CSD G10 problem. Please explain to me why you think the page "attacks, threatens or disparages." It is a neutral and well-sourced page about a notable figure, whose fame is primarily in connection with an ongoing murder investigation of a prominent Florida law professor. I checked Google News a few minutes ago and found 43,800 hits for Charles Adelson, mostly related to the murder. If you feel something in particular "attacks, threatens or disparages," please remove it. The decision to remove the entire page is inexplicable. Indeed, the only threat I can see in connection with the page is your threat to block me from editing on the basis of a false accusation of having created an attack page.

Hello Justlettersandnumbers. When making an edit that causes drastic changes to a Wikipedia article, especially one that removes a large amount of information created by other users, such as your recent edits to Pekin (duck) please discuss it on the article's WP:Talk page first. Doing this allows other editors to discuss the potential changes with you, so you can be sure that WP:Consensus has been reached, as this is a Wikipedia standard. EditSafe (talk) 04:16, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't think you have much to apologize for. It is true, in general, that new users tend to be met with hostility and that it's a problem that this drives away what could otherwise be useful contributors. I just don't happen to think that was what was happening in this case. But if you have evidence to the contrary, maybe it is I who should apologize. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:40, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't understand why you removed so much information from the NAP article and made accusations that the information was promotional or it was a brand name, or whatever else you stated as the reason for removal. What you did was not unlike removing information in an AQHA article about double-registered paints and palominos, and calling Quarter horses a brand name. Your questions on the TP of the article leads me to believe you didn't do any research before you started removing information. I updated the few dead links and provided more links - which you could just as easily have done rather than delete and add tags. I think the right thing to do in this case is for you to go back to the article and self-revert or replace all the information you removed from that article.

Hi Just: I am hoping I did not delete the recent paragraph that cites a recent personal issue that made tabloid headlines regarding alleged attacks on Mr. Klein and subsequent arrests revolving around the incident. The contributor (kbabej) who wrote the article should know better as she or he has contributed substantially to wikipedia biography articles. It seems to me to be a clear violation of wikipedia rules regarding posting potentially libelous and defamatory posts regarding living persons. I did a deletion of that edit as it has repercussions of great harm to the LLoyd Klein brand which was separately listed from Mr. Klein the person but merged into his biography page. As you I know I am closely involved with the topic and do not want to break the COI rules about interfering in an article, however I do recall that the rare instances that such an action is permissible is when it is one that is of defamatory nature. Your advice and guidance is appreciated.Fashionator (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment on my article. I was not aware of the fact that the inclusion of 'original research' (or just personal knowledge) is not suitable for Wikipedia and that the official homepage of an institution does not count as an appropriate source - I see the point that it is not independent even if it is reliable and verifiable. However, I found most of the general information about the foundation's activities in mostly German newspaper articles (where I got to know it in the first place). It would seem odd to me to add a reference to every single sentence (they organise concerts, they publish CDs, and so on), but would the article be acceptable with these newspaper articles given as sources? I could also delete the information that is only available via the homepage; I only strived for thoroughness in adding those and I thought mentioning say the Internet radio might just be as rewarding for the interested reader as it was for me when I came across it.

The David Zwirner Gallery is an American contemporary art gallery owned by David Zwirner. It has two gallery spaces in New York City and one in London, and has plans to open in Hong Kong in 2018.[1] History 1990s In 1993, David Zwirner (b. 1964, Cologne, Germany) opened his first eponymous gallery on Greene Street in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City.[2] In its first year, the reception of its exhibition by the young Los Angeles-based artist Jason Rhoades, along with a gallery expansion in 1994, contributed to the gallery’s early recognition.[3] In 1994, David Zwirner presented the U.S. debut exhibition of Belgian painter Luc Tuymans.[4] The roster of artists during this decade also included Raoul De Keyser, Stan Douglas, Marcel Dzama, On Kawara, Toba Khedoori, The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark, John McCracken, Raymond Pettibon, Yutaka Sone, Diana Thater, Franz West, and Christopher Williams. 2000s In 2002, Zwirner moved his gallery from SoHo to Chelsea (525 West 19th Street). In 2006, the gallery then expanded from 10,000 to 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) by adding spaces at 519 and 533 West 19th Street. Artists who joined the gallery during this decade included Tomma Abts, Francis Alÿs, Mamma Andersson, Michaël Borremans, R. Crumb, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Marlene Dumas, Suzan Frecon, Isa Genzken, Jockum Nordström, Chris Ofili, Michael Riedel, Thomas Ruff, James Welling, Lisa Yuskavage, and the Leipzig painter Neo Rauch, who had his U.S. debut exhibition at the gallery in 2000. The gallery also announced the representation of a number of estates, including those of Dan Flavin, Alice Neel, Fred Sandback, and Al Taylor. From 2000 to 2009, David Zwirner also was a partner with Iwan Wirth in Zwirner & Wirth, a gallery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, which focused on private sales and historically researched exhibitions. Following the move of David Zwirner’s part of the business to Chelsea, highlights have included Dan Flavin: Series and Progressions (2009), a major survey of the artist’s work in fluorescent light, and Primary Atmospheres: Works from California 1960-1970,[5] a critically acclaimed survey of West Coast Minimalism which is often credited with contributing to the transformation of the market for many of the “Light and Space” artists. 2010 to present In 2012, David Zwirner expanded into Europe.[6] The gallery opened in an eighteenth-century Georgian townhouse on Grafton Street in London’s Mayfair district with a solo exhibition of new paintings by Luc Tuymans.[7] After a renovation overseen by architect Annabelle Selldorf of Selldorf Architects, the building has almost 10,000 square feet (930 m2) throughout five floors, with main exhibition spaces on three levels.[8] The gallery announced its exclusive representation of Judd Foundation in 2010, and the Estate of Ad Reinhardt in 2013. Other artists who joined the gallery included Carol Bove (2011); Doug Wheeler (2012); Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, Oscar Murillo, and Jordan Wolfson (2013); Karla Black, Bridget Riley, Richard Serra, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Kerry James Marshall (2014); Blinky Palermo and Jan Schoonhoven (2015). The gallery announced its exclusive representation of William Eggleston in 2016, and of the Estate of Ruth Asawa in 2017.[9] As of 2017, the Estate of Felix Gonzalez-Torres is co-represented by David Zwirner and Andrea Rosen Gallery.[10] Further expansion continued in 2013 with the opening of a new five-story 30,000 square foot (2,800 m2) building in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood (537 West 20th Street).[11] Also designed by Selldorf, it became the first commercial art gallery to receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.[12] The building was featured on the cover of Architectural Record[13] magazine and featured in Architect magazine.[14] The inaugural exhibition was a presentation of significant large-scale works by Dan Flavin and Donald Judd.[15] David Zwirner Books was founded in 2014 as the stand-alone publishing house of David Zwirner. The imprint publishes catalogues, monographs, historical surveys, artist books, and catalogue raisonnés related to the gallery’s exhibition program.[16] Zwirner's son Lucas is Editorial Director at David Zwirner Books.[17] In early 2018, David Zwirner will open a new location in Hong Kong. With interiors by Annabelle Selldorf, the gallery will incorporate close to 10,000 square feet of exhibition space on two floors of H Queen's, a new building in the city's Central district designed by William Lim.[18] Artists: Tomma Abts Anni Albers Josef Albers Francis Alÿs Mamma Andersson Ruth Asawa Karla Black Michaël Borremans Carol Bove R.

Hello again. The article is reverted back to your version. You may improve it right now; I told the other editor to refrain from editing it for a long while. --George Ho (talk) 13:19, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
Dear Justlettersandnumbers,
I apologize for the mixup.
Could you help get the articles back for FASHION NET at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_Net and my own at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stig_Harder? I read the reason was there weren't enough references online to establish notability.
Here are several references from print publications back when the Internet was in its infancy:

That said, it looks to me as if you might perhaps have enough sources there to justify requesting a WP:deletion review with the reason "significant new information has come to light since ... deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page", so that's an option you could consider. I think you should expect some fairly vigorous opposition if you do decide to give it a try. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:08, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, another editor has (or rather, had) tagged the page as g8, the notice giving the criteria 'redirect to non-existent page' or 'to itself' etc. I have removed it, as your redirect to the appropriate section seems valid to me. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 15:51, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
How good is your undisclosed paid editor radar? I saw your post at the noticeboards trying to deal with one... I've just done an unusual thing for me and nominated a couple articles for AfD... [20], [21], [22]. Anyway, noticed the same person created each. I did a bit of digging and this user is prolific in article creation, but quality... ? Anyway, I don't know if he's over-eager or an undisclosed paid editor, plus you know I can get bitey when I get on the track of some sort of problem, so thought I'd ask you if either 1) You want to sniff about with your nose for problems (radar, perhaps?) or 2) If this is outside your balliwick, perhaps you can point me to the guru(s) of sniffing out paid editors.

Dear Just etc..,
Many thanks for the advice. I am not able to develop my article on Good Bad Poetry after the fashion that you suggest, and I have concluded that it is best if I abandon it.
Thank you again for the trouble you have taken to help me.

I did new edit, putting references in parenthesis, as I couldn't figure it out how to use a template (I did spend a lot of time trying to learn - but I understand that what it is important is the I provide a reliable source.

Dear User:Justlettersandnumbers, i noticed you just undid my edits on Louise Blouin Wiki article without a proper explanation why that information should not be there on Louise Blouin Wikipedia page. You explain one resource is not reliable, What about others? I also checked your history on this page.

Re: this edit, I'd change the system to the one I use for most of my articles if I thought I could get away with it. I find the system on Middle Ages much much much easier to deal with, but I swear that some folks on Wikipedia think that if it has a template, it HAS to be better.

Hi Justlettersnadnumbers, I created the page for this Cirque du Soleil show, and it was rejected and deleted due to "copyright violations"... Could you further explain exactly what was the violation? I'm new and I don't know exactly what I did wrong.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to Bonin Bough has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.
Actually, I have not reverted it. But this edit was inappropriate for a COI that was properly declared: in the edit summary and on my userpage. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 00:32, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I made myself clear about any COI on my talk page again and again and if you don't want me to fix articles I'll not in the future, I told you that it was a random selection as I always try to fix articles with banners. So I spent a lot of time on this article and researched a lot, I don't want it wasted. Please, let me know, Thanks. HeatherMPinchbeck (talk) 04:58, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers,
I wanted to reach out as you've rejected the entry for Bonin Bough a few times now. I'm just curious as to what more is needed - as Bonin is one of the most awarded executives in marketing and one of the youngest C-level executives in the world (no puffery here :) And has been INDUCTED into the Advertising Hall of Fame. Just wondering how a person who used to be a doorman at a NY bar has a Wikipedia page, but Bonin is not considered notable enough? There is a ton more reliable press out there on Bonin so is it just a case of adding those? Please let me know.
Thanks!

The DAD-IS list is absolute garbage for US horses and should not be used as a source for any American-based breed. Breeds reported by United States of America: Horse. I mean, seriously, it includes non-American-originating breeds like the Akhal-Teke, but not the Arabian; it includes something called the "Moroccan Spotted" that I've never heard of, (nor the "Kanata pony") and its attempts to document "American" breeds are absurd, there is no such thing as a "Wild" Mustang (as Mustangs are feral) and a broomtail is a low-quality horse, not a breed. A Cayuse is a bit more ambivalent, but if there is such a breed, it's actually a western Canadian landrace. So whoever compiled this particular list was an idiot. Montanabw(talk) 10:24, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
rather long rant

As for the DAD-IS on the Drum Horse article, stating the negative is irrelevant -- US government doesn't officially recognize or license breeds they way they do in Europe anyway. (This may not be a plus for the quality of our horses, but it's reality. All free enterprise here. Caveat emptor.) Also remember that the USA also is not good about playing with the United Nations in general, so these UN programs are often ignored in the US with the minimal effort possible put forth. It is perhaps simpler in Europe, where people apparently have a lot more trust in governmental agencies and international organizations. Kudos to Germany.

Hello, Justlettersandnumbers, I am writing to you here to discuss your conflict of interest citing to multiple of my edits on Janet Echelman's page and her related pages.

Hello. I am one of the primary editors on the VCU School of the Arts page. I saw that you removed quite a bit of text from the article yesterday, but many of your edits seem ill-informed. You claim that the persons listed under "Alumni" have no sources to support their attendance at VCUarts. However, the Wikipedia entries for Diana al-Hadid, Sam Beam, Tara Donovan, Teresita Fernández, GWAR, Jason Butler Harner, Donwan Harrell, Michael Hearst, Sterling Hundley, Zachary Knighton, Philip B. Meggs, Wiley Miller, Steve Segal, Carol Sutton, Alice Tangerini, Phil Trumbo, and Mike Wieringo all mention Virginia Commonwealth University as their alma mater. In fact, the Sam Beam source that you explicitly claim bears "no mention of this school" ([Paste Magazine]) in fact does so quite plainly. "With a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth..." begins the third paragraph; a Bachelor of Fine Arts is only obtainable as a studio arts student. Beam has also spoken in interviews about painting his own album covers, which I would be happy to cite as well.
I'm curious to know why you did not check the corresponding articles. If it was a matter of sourcing, the citations could have been borrowed from each person's respective article. Though many of these individuals' pages are poorly written, I don't suppose it is my duty to touch up every page linked across a single article. You also left a single link to List of Virginia Commonwealth University alumni lingering after you deleted the VCUarts list, despite its lack of sources.
Admittedly, checking back I've noticed that some of the individuals I included are alumni of the university and not the school specifically; I can remove their names from a future list. Nevertheless, practicing slash-and-burn across whole swaths of text contributes little to the improvement of an article. It would have been far more helpful for you to check the corresponding pages, verify the sources, and introduce them into the existing text. I have noticed on the history page that I am the only editor to make significant positive contributions to VCU School of the Arts since May. I understand that my editing career on the encyclopedia is far less illustrious than most, and I certainly am not asking for lenience or leeway, but collaboration would be welcome.
Furthermore, your assertion that "Wikipedia is built on independent reliable sources and cares little or nothing what people or bodies say about themselves" is just plain silly. Wikipedia editors regularly employ direct, primary, and reflexive sources to describe a copywritten entity, organization, business, or other collective or private body. The featured article Homer Simpson cites DVD commentary via the character's creator; the page for Harvard University cites Harvard's official website and fact sheets throughout; Yale, Oxford, UVA, MoMA, and Louvre all cite official websites and communications to support the same information that you claim is unsuitable for primary sources. Standards and guidelines without precedent is mere platitude.
I am writing this not as a reprimand or to instigate an argument. You are clearly an accomplished editor who feels strongly about this website and your role in making it the best that it can be. But I do mean to impress upon you that I would like to build this article into something more in-line with the standards of Wikipedia—and I cannot do that alone. Deletion without consideration of how the text could be improved only sets the entire page back. Doopliss77 (talk) 18:35, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. Thanks for keeping an eye on this. I presume you saw the utter dog's dinner the editor in question had made previously in expanding the discography. Took me nearly an hour to clean it up yesterday. Having said that, I restored his latest edits as they simply put the discography in chrono order, which is actually a help and the work added checks out.

Dear Justlettersandnumbers, i emailed the museum and got the confirmation that they do have a work of Heiner Thiel in their collection. Quote: "We do have a sculpture by Heiner Thiel in our collection and I have attached a photo for you to see. It is “Untitled” and measures 36 inches high x 33 inches wide x 5 inches deep, and is made of aluminum. We do not have our collection available online yet, but are working on adding it to our website." - These info come from the Registrar of the museum. - Question: is this enough to verify the fact and could i add thus this to the site or is this still insuffient? Please let me know, what you think. Thanks. --Gyanda (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
First you move the article into a draft space telling me there aren't enough references even though barely 24 hours have passed and I'm years more experienced as an editor than you. Then you get pissy when I simply revert your changes when I have more than enough references and decide you don't like the article anyway. Wikipedia is fun, but it's no place to use as a cudgel for your own cultural bias and inexperience. Both Maria Hupfield and Jason Lujan have shown extensively as artists--you can look that up yourself quite easily. Stop enacting the white supremacy that is ruining the world right now. thanks--A21sauce (talk) 02:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Mr.justlettersandnumbers, thanks for the observation, a friend of mine was responsible for searching and adding the links, he ended up just pointing to wikipedia for every other link after a few ones and ended up adding a slash('/') to an '.html' page, which was really our main source of reference. Thanks Again. Surge10 (talk) 12:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC) |
Hey, please bring back my article. The season's semi finals just started today so 1 source can be found. I'm about to put the source when you delete the page. It's already there on the draft page and I've submitted it for review. Thanks. Leo kingston (talk) 10:49, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough you moved it to draft - but the English language version of Wikipedia needed an ambiguous template for 'kawina' What I wrote on Kawina is factually correct and I don't have time to put more energy in it. Your choice either you leave it for someone else to add info to or you just let it rot away in the draft space ;-) Rdeman (talk) 01:30, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello talk:Justlettersandnumbers,
Are you still involved with copyright violations? If so, I stumbled upon this article. It appears that there's some serious copyright violations, especially in the "The attack" section. What do you suggest we do from here? Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:29, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Dear Justlettersandnumbers. Thank you for your review and helpful comments on the Richard Hirschbaeck artist page. I am at the moment trying to improve the page based on your suggestions. I am an administor of the Richard Hirschbaeck estate, but I wished to make the article as my own contribution to the work of Richard Hirschbaeck. I am trying to attain more independent sources for the writing, to write in a more neutral tone and not reference the website itself too much. I have permission from the copyright owners of the estate to use material and excerpts from the website, therefor, the copyright has not been violated. As for the "notability", it is a case which is, I guess, hard to argue. I will cite as many independent sources as possible, and I would like to note that an entry in the German National Library does imply by itself notability, where Hirschbaeck is mentioned. Any other guides would be very helpful. Best regards.
Hi! Why did you delete my edit? I think it was an important edit, and I feel that when we work together and do not judge, it helps. Besides, it was a good edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.193.80.5 (talk) 12:20, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on Draft:Colette Mazzucelli. I am an OTRS volunteer who has been in contact with the subject about 'her' article. I restored it to draft space because I suspect that the 30 kilobytes removed from the article history (due to undisclosed paid editing by a blocked sockpuppet of someone who advertises Wikipedia editing services on LinkedIn) may actually have some content in it that demonstrates notability of the subject. The article was deleted for lack of notability some time after that content had been removed. I have also pointed out WP:NACADEMIC to Dr Mazzucelli, who assured me that she and her colleagues will make every effort to comply with that and other applicable guidelines in getting her article up to Wikipedia standards before submitting it for review.
I'd appreciate if you kept an eye on it, and also appreciate any improvements you care to make. If you believe the subject is notable and will survive another AFD round, feel free to move it back to main space. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:47, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, and perhaps not fully familiar with all its conventions. But I am struggling a bit to understand the justification for peremptorily merging/redirecting this page. By comparison, why does the page you created: Young Man with a Horn (Miles Davis album) have its own page? Does it have more visibly independently-sourced content? Why is it not simply merged into the general Miles Davis page? I've always thought the whole point about html was that you could have a series of independent pages with, crucially, links to follow up whatever was of interest making it possible to navigate and follow up anything you wanted. If things are all merged together, that becomes a whole lot more difficult. Very disappointed. Torino-Topolino (talk) 16:10, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine.

Hello. Thank you for making me aware of the edit warring policy. Is there any way we can get the page deleted?

Hi
Thanks for your changes to Wikipedia:Adding open license text to Wikipedia on dealing with text that has been added under a license that isn't compatible with Wikipedia. I think that the sentence 'Please do NOT attempt to rephrase the text without first removing it, as this can give rise to a derivative work' might be a bit confusing. I'm trying to write this page to be usable by people who are fairly new to Wikipedia. Is there any guidance anywhere on 'how much/how to' rephrase copyrighted material so it doesn't create a derivative work? This is quite unclear, the current sentence makes it sound a bit like you can't rephrase text from another source at all.
Thanks again

Hi Justlettersandnumbers,
I have a question: I work for an Art gallery. My job involves curating and writing about some of the artists we host. I've been getting acquainted with Wikipedia these last few days to see how I may be able to contribute within guidelines. Would my contributions be considered COI editing? I am not paid by the artists involved, but my employer is an arts organization that hosts some of these artists. I noticed you have been involved in editing Wikipedia articles for some of the artist pages I would like to contribute to, so thought you'd be a good editor to ask for advice. Thank you for your help :-) Liz CroatianNeptune (talk) 12:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you removed significant portions of the article on Joel Selanikio due to some citation and user edit issues. The current article, however, references him primarily as a physician, but the original outlined his role as a technology company CEO, as related to the awards still listed on the page. I was wondering your thoughts on why those references were removed as it changes the meaning of the page in its current form. Thanks! Chatfielda (talk) 18:20, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello Justlettersandnumbers, In the Popular Poultry Breeds source I added, the author talked about how the Sussex chicken came to be, specifically on page 242-243. It basically followed the lineage from the Dorking chicken, which (with the help of the Dorking chicken page) led to me adding that portion on. Perhaps I phrased something wrong in the next bit, because (from the info I gathered) the naming of the Sussex Chicken came after Harrison Weir suggested naming chickens from their proper location, which was the Sussex county. I'm pretty sure the county was around the time he was alive because he suggested it again in 1903, but if you can tell me when the county was made, that would be great because I don't have that knowledge. As far as the four and five toes bit, I wanted to get another source, although the same info can be found in the Popular source. Is the Popular source not a good source to cite from? Thanks for looking it over and if you can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it as a rookie. John Cartright (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

After everything was done, I submitted the entry, but it was rejected twice because "no changes were made".

Hello Justlettersandnumbers: |
Hi Justlettersandnumbers. As you know, he's been on a bit of a rampage here in the last two weeks, and an even bigger rampage at Simple WP where they let IPs create articles . To make a long story short, I've created Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Alec Smithson. There needs to be a record of his MO that people can refer to. I think it would be useful to other Wikis as well. The Italians pretty much have his number, but he's been very busy on the Spanish and French Wikis in addition to Simple. I'm going to ask an admin to change the status of the LTA from "pending" to "active". Feel free to tweak it in the meantime. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:17, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
I moved the page according to Wikipedia:Moving a page and I didn't expect the move to be controversial because in my opinion the Italian title of the article is violating Wikipedia:Article titles which says that the titles of articles are in English. Wikipedia:Moving a page doesn't say that an article must be discussed before being moved unless it is expected to be controversial. I have a couple of questions: What do you find controversial about the move of the article? Where does it say that the move must be discussed beforehand? Thinker78 (talk) 22:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers, is your recent edit in the Viareggio Prize article really necessary? There is a source in first sentence introducing the list that reports the official Albo D'oro (the list of winners). All the entries in the article are, therefore, covered by a verifiable and reliable source. I think that this should suffice, whereas adding individual recalls of the same source for every entry would frankly look redundant and unnecessary. Thanks in advance for your reply. --Tanonero (msg) 16:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Justlettersandnumbers,
1. I didn't touch anything of the current page about Peer Bork, due to your mentioned COI. But why is the warning line still shown there? This is about a researcher, not about any commercial entity. What stands there is far below the average wikipedia level. 2. The content is very ugly organized; all the awards are gone, even the documented ones (provided by another independent resource). Why are they removed?
3. the research part is based on the google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=M6Etr6oAAAAJ. And this was also removed. Is the google scholar not reliable resource?
I hope that you'd remove that COI warning immediately.

Just to be clear, what I said at the CfD was exactly the case. I thought the category was there for a reason, like zebu–Western cattle hybrids, but when I was done moving the all-Western cross-breeds into the cross-breeds cat., and domestic–wild hybrids into the bovid hybrids cat., there was literally nothing left. I don't have any prejudice at all against re-creating the category for things like all-domestic cross-[sub]species hybrids (sanga–zebu, or whatever), but that looks like a lot of research no one has even touched yet. We might not even have any available RS for what the foundation stock is of a lot of the more obscure breeds. Plus there's the taxonomic issue that not all zoologists agree these are different species or even subspecies. Sorry I didn't notify you with the CfD template; I sometimes just space it. I realize it probably looks bad, given our previous disagreements, but it really wasn't intentional, much less personal. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 22:18, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, you removed content from the Palazzo Madama article about the Cavour Hall Room wit the comment "Sockpuppetry (Alec Smithson)". I have no idea who User 95.234.138.12 is, who added this content, but on the face of it, the addition is unproblematic, especially after I toned down the Pittoni boosterism. Naturally, it would be better if it had an WP:RS (which is not hard to find), but other than that, what's the issue? That it is prompted by Pittoni-love? Nothing wrong with that... we should be able to fill in more info about other artists who worked in the Palazzo Madama over time. --Macrakis (talk) 21:52, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Dear Justlettersandnumbers,
I was wondering why you reverted my edit on the wikipage of Nina Menkes. I recently interviewed her for the website FEMEX ARCHIVES, and she mentioned in the interview that she does not consider herself an "experimental” filmmaker. I tried to update the page, and I also attached a reference to the article with her statement. I’m wondering why you have reverted my edit. Thank you for your time!
Boufjorge (talk) 17:50, 27 December 2017 (UTC)boufjorge
Thank you for your quick response! I would love it if you could read my interview with Nina Menkes (https://sites.google.com/ucsc.edu/femexfilmarchive/nina-menkes) as we discuss self-representation on the internet and how individuals don't have control over their image and are doomed to be labeled by those who think they have authority over labeling others. I conducted this interview in collaboration with my film class at UC Santa Cruz to be part of an archive of interviews with filmmakers. In the interview, Menkes makes a good point about other directors, often male auteurs with access to big budgets and critical acclaim, who are, stylistically and thematically, making similar work to Nina Menkes; they are labeled as film directors, or auteurs, or art filmmakers. Yet because of this presupposed "experimental filmmaker" label on Nina Menkes, her works are perceived as being low budget, marginal videos, which does not represent her work. She is critically successful! She did not donate her original films to the Academy Film Archives, they asked her for them and took care to digitally restore them as they are culturally relevant! In fact Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation has just awarded a grant to The Academy Film Archives to photochemically restore her 1991 feature film Queen of Diamonds, with digitization as well. I understand the issues of sock-puppetry, but the statement on the article about her donating her films is incorrect, and though the term 'experimental filmmaker' is a subjective one depending on who you ask, I think this page is reflective of a broader issue of the patronization of female artists in 'biographical' media. Thank you for your time.
