Native History: 20 September 2020

Hey bud, sorry if this is the wrong space to contact you at. I'm having some trouble with your edits (Native American culture) that are, well quite frankly, a-historic and pretty offensive/racist that seems to want to continue to push an outdated Euro-centric view of American History. I'd greatly appreciate a little back and forth on the subject, given I have a Masters in American History (also a Native Son of America, not a European migrant) and am very up to date on the research, which is highly underfunded but still LIDAR is helping incredibly. I highly suggest you done some more research, I'm losing all my edits because I'm having a tough time figuring out how to revert them. I can't even revert the one I just reverted, actually. Please get back to me and let me know if I'm contacting you incorrectly.

Regarding Toyota edit

Hi. I suppose I have ruined some formatting of the sentence but methinks the less car-savvy reader would want to know whether "platform" is referring to: the engine, the mechanics and stuff, or is it tbe structural bits and pieces (chassis is the name?), or maybe even something I'd call "overall design" (esthetics, visual appeal, auto's line, whatever it's name might be). I know I would. Is platform really all three of them? And some fourth on top? Anyway it's ambiguous. You could reinstate the huh template of you agree. I know I would. 🙂 Cheers --178.148.196.251 (talk) 22:01, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing?

In this diff which I reverted, you appear to have removed the publication date, title, author and access date from an inline citation, replacing it with a bare URL. Was there a reason for this? {} 00:48, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted that link/citation because it was dead. The URL I linked goes to the correct IUCN page for the species. 98.15.10.143 (talk) 00:51, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you're changing it to a different reference entirely, just add an additional ref tag, and if you're concerned about a dead URL, put {{Dead link|date=September 2020}} in the existing ref. Link rot is a known problem and not a good reason to delete valid references from an article. {} 00:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tommy John

Hello my friend. Tommy John’s Don did not study medicine; that is a fact, easily corroborated by visiting his own professional website. Instead he studied chiropractic, as I have repeatedly corrected on the elder John’s page. Chiropractic, it is also easily corroborated, is NOT the study of medicine. You have no good right to continue to make this misleading and inaccurate claim. Please cease doing so. With alacrity. Thank you. EnzoTheAvenger (talk) 06:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskey

Hi Jacob Gotts, I noticed you recently removed edits I made on Green spot and Redbreast whiskies pages. I work for both brands and we are trying to clean up and update both pages in reference to the most recent information in the spirits world.

If you're a paid editor, you need to do a WP:COI disclosure. My revert was due to the removal of cited information from the article -- if you want to copyedit and put the old information further down, that's great, but there's no good reason to remove stuff because it happened a few years ago. {} 10:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Options besides Twinkle

I would hardly classify this edit as worthy of {{uw-vandalism1}}. I think this is one of those situations when we get into the "what you can do besides quickly revert" if you disagree with an edit instead of using Twinkle to get all BITE-y. Perhaps just a difference of opinion. 70.62.149.86 (talk) 15:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@70.62.149.86: I still think you should have moved it into the article body somewhere, although you are right that it wasn't quite vandalism and it would probably have been better to mark with {{uw-delete1}}. Apologies. {} 22:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of edit on Buzz Lightyear article

Hi there. About the changes I did on the Buzz Lightyear article, I don't think the voice actor who did a mere throwaway Toy Story parody on Family Guy deserves being listed right next to Tim Allen and other actors who voiced the character on actual Disney/Pixar productions. Neither I believe detailed descriptions of Family Guy and Simpsons references belong on the section about other Buzz Lightyear appearances throughout other Disney/Pixar media. It's unnecessary and misleading information. Please consider getting those edits back. Thank you.

That might have been a crappy revert. Apologies. {} 02:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

Hello, I made a good-faith edit to the article [1], which included a long list of academic publications that had obviously been copy-pasted from the person's CV (presumably by her). User Seemplez (talk) has reverted these changes -- they are apparently not aware of the fact that the content of a Wikipedia article should not be a copy-pasted CV. I presume this user has complained to you? I would like you to block User Seemplez for repeated vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.131.127.116 (talk) 07:59, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@85.131.127.116: While I agree that the list of publications in that article was excessive, repeatedly reverting people (especially when there's a discussion on the talk page about the subject) is not generally a great way to move forward. If you want to get technical, you did more reverts than Seemplez, in addition to making further edits while ignoring discussion on the talk page (that's why I gave you a {{uw-3RR}} and not them). I proposed a compromise (that addresses the issue of undue coverage while avoiding the wholesale removal of referenced content) on the talk page -- I think if you contribute there, we can work towards a solution tht doesn't result in anyone getting blocked. jp×g 08:05, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Jacob Gotts. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Lofty abyss 10:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While the prior version in question already had "far-right" in the description of their position, whether they're "right-wing to far right" or "far right" isn't something I feel qualified to judge (and you may be right).

Removal of Edits on Malaysia-South Korea relations

Hi, I don't understand why you reversed the edits I have made to the article on Malaysia-South Korea relations. I had indicated that the language used in the section was from a non-neutral point of view, meant to support one side of the supposed controversy. I had also indicated it was irrelevant to the article as a whole, because it doesn't seem to have made a lasting impact on Malaysia - South Korea relations. Thanks and please get back to me.

This diff? It looks like there are two references in the paragraph directly supporting both statements. I'm not sure what you're talking about when you mention that you're removing unsourced claims of the show "returning". The section you removed says that they did a reunion episode. It doesn't say that the show is coming back and, as far as I can tell, it never said that; of course there aren't going to be sources backing up a claim that was never made.

IP addresses can be assigned to individuals, organizations, schools, prisons et cetera. It's also possible for your ISP to assign dynamic IP addresses, in which case you'd just be getting a random one every time you connect. If you're at work (or school) though, it's probably just that someone else has been messing around on Wikipedia and you happened to be the next person after them to load a page here (and get the talk page alert). Take care! jp×g 17:55, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of edit on Generation

Hello, I'm JPxG. I noticed that you recently removed content from Generation without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. jp×g 10:38, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

First, I explained why I removed content from Generation. It was in my edit summary. "Removed Xennials. No citation provided in Western World. Idea of a "micro-generation" does not fit into this article." As you can plainly see on Generation#Western_world, the entry for Xennials ends with "[citation needed]". No citation has been provided for that paragraph for months.

Second, the page is titled Generation. Not micro-generation. I believe that paragraph does not belong in the Western World nor List of named generations sections. The description for a Generation on the same page is "generally considered to be about 20–⁠30 years". Not 5-10 years.

Now, I believe I agree it can stay in the Other terminology section, where "The term generation is sometimes applied to a cultural movement, or more narrowly defined group than an entire demographic." There seem to be multiple instances of the same idea there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.32.205 (talk) 19:11, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

vincristine edits

Thanks for reaching out, I’m still learning the workings of wikipedia editing. I removed the pharmaceutical bioprospecting section from the vincristine page since I was editing it too frequently, so much so that I believe it’s best to upload when it is more finalized. The sandbox could be a good place for it to stay until then, I was unaware of that as an option. Would you remove it from the page and add it to the sandbox or would you like me to do? I’ll maintain detialed edit summaries in the future. Thanks for your tips. Crossgates (talk) 13:22, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Epstein

Hi Jacob, thank you for your feedback regarding the Alex Epstein page. My intent was not to cast Epstein in a biased light, but rather to provide a neutral qualification to his statements. I believe that the Wikipedia readership desires the ability to easily evaluate the authority of persons making this type of assertion. To that end, my added qualifications to his statement are both valuable to the readership, and facially neutral -- they are true and provide valuable context to his statements regarding climate change. To not qualify such statements with his credentials and evidence provided may serve to unintentionally mislead readers into believing they carry more authority than they do in fact. Rather then revert the edit entirely I would be open to working with you to achieve this end in a neutral way. Vexans44 (talk) 02:41, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vexans44: I didn't have the chance to give the article a complete proofread, but from what I could tell, this was an unreferenced addition. Adding potentially-undue critical remarks to a lead section on a biography of a living person is a fairly contentious thing to do. It looks like there are more sources further down in the article, which might give it a better chance if they were used to source a statement in the lede. jp×g 04:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dont you think the article for both Left 4 Dead games should be consistent with one another? The two games have the same Metacritic score, with the second game receiving slightly higher reviews. Yet according to the articles the first game received "highly positive reviews" while the second one just received "generally favorable reviews". Doesnt sound right - 50.71.69.96 (talk) 08:56, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@50.71.69.96: In general, the Manual of Style suggests to avoid terms like "critically acclaimed" in favor of more neutral language like "received positive reviews". I suppose there'd be an exception if the degree of critical acclaim was itself commented on by reliable sources. If the other articles say that, I think they should be changed to more neutral language as well. jp×g 03:59, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that my sources for a lot of this stuff is my experiencing living in Delaware, so I had to find something more "official" as a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.16.43.22 (talk) 12:53, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@100.16.43.22: I don't think that reliably cited information gets "outdated" -- there might be a WP:RECENTISM issue but I don't think that who was elected to positions within a committee in 2017 are WP:UNDUE for inclusion in an article about it. Your edit wasn't shitty or anything -- if you want to start a section on the talk page for the article I'll be glad to request a third opinion and get consensus (it may well be the case that your edit was more justified than mine). jp×g 03:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merit page

Hello I noticed that you have revirted a edit that I have recently made. Maybe we shouldn't look at expounding the header and introduction of the page to highlighting mater's of merit that are relivent to the culture that is reading it. This is the buitiful way the Daharma transforms for the time and place. The addition of ways that you can honour another whilst still alive and not deceased would go along to help in these times. The use of a reference that has already been cited would be fine I would think. Look forward to your reply. 🙏🏼 Zongqi (talk) 04:01, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Buggery Act of 1533

Mission accomplished

On the talk page for Buggery Act of 1533, I explain why I removed content from that page. 216.14.157.170 (talk) 14:04, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@216.14.157.170: This seems to have been brought up before on the talk page, and while I don't see any consensus it seems reasonable to me. The issue I have is with the removal of the sentence and its source rather than a neutral rewording -- why not simply restate it in a way that doesn't constitute OR? jp×g 00:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I restored the source, but left out the speculative language. 2600:1700:7822:6190:0:0:0:45 (talk) 12:58, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
