Reliable sources

Be sure to cite reliable sources! Twitter is not a reliable source. It might help you if you take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Dustin (talk) 21:33, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to List of United States tornadoes in April 2015

If someone could revert the changes I just made to List of United States tornadoes in April 2015, or tell me if there's a way to revert the changes on my own, I would greatly appreciate it lol. Still new to this! User:Jdcomix 20:34; Saturday, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

Go to the top of the article you linked and click on the "history" button. You should see a list of usernames and edits. Find your edit (your username is "Jdcomix") and click "undo". It might also help for you to take a look at WP:UNDO. Dustin (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! User talk:Jdcomix 20:40; Saturday, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
Just a note, but on Wikipedia, you can indent by using colons as I have done. By indenting, you can clearly tell other editors who you are responding to (though in this situation, it is just you and me). If you try to indent using spaces or just add blank lines when responding, it can cause the text to display incorrectly. I hope that helps you in the future.

Borderline EF5 for Fairdale Tornado?

Just checked NWS website, wind speed was 200 mph O-O. I've got my eyes on a possible upgrade to EF5. Let's just wait for confirmation from the NWS.. User:Jdcomix 21:13 pm UTC: Monday, April 13, 2015

Fairdale tornado rating

I saw that you are putting the Fairdale tornado in as an EF5. I originally saw the IP user putting it in and thought it was vandalism or OR. Do you have a source for the EF5 rating? The referenced pages still list it as an EF4. TornadoLGS (talk) 18:25, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just keep it as an EF4 until we have official confirmation of that. Just changed it back to EF4. Jdcomix (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So is a possible EF5 rating in the works then? TornadoLGS (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Don't think so, but I'll watch for an upgrade. Jdcomix (talk) 18:48, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

VGChartz is unreliable

  • See WP:VG/S for the master list, and it's talk page to ask questions.
  • As to why, the short version is that it's essentially run by a bunch people without credentials who refuse to share their sources or methodology.

You can start up another discussion to try to change this consensus, but in the meantime, you have to follow this consensus, or you'll be blocked from editing. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 19:33, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Checked this out and won't do it again. Sorry ^_^ Jdcomix (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for understanding. Let me, or WP:VG if you ever have any questions on stuff. See you around. Sergecross73 msg me 19:39, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Balochistan conflict

Hi, Jdcomix I read your message regarding my edit. What do you think is wrong in it? Are the sources not credible. I meant to say insurgency is largely subsided. And I also have posted sources along it. What do you think I am doing wrong in it 82.178.52.21 (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The edits appeared to be inappropriate is what was wrong with it. Jdcomix (talk) 01:30, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jdcomix Yeah I noticed that. Well that is what happens when I try to edit from my mobile phone. Thanks for letting me know :) 82.178.52.21 (talk) 01:37, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey 😊

I installed wrote a passage about the Amundsen Gulf and it looks as if it were written on a typewriter. What should I do about it?

Queen of the South Season 2015-16

I have heard of using the sandbox but I've been updating this club's pages for the last five seasons. I was wondering what you meant by not appearing constructive or the specific edits that were altered? Kind Regards Rusty1111 : Talk 21:28, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably because of the P-P that you added in. I'm not familiar with this stuff, so I probably shouldn't have even patrolled it :P Jdcomix (User talk:Jdcomix|talk)]] 9:26 pm, Today (UTC+0)
Would of been better if you had reverted yourself once you checked and realised. 38 edits is a lot to rollback without checking further.Blethering Scot 21:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Kimball page

With respect...I'm just asking a reasonable question. .Today is the first time I have tried to edit my page..Can you please explain why you deleted my edits Jdcomix? TandG-history (talk) 22:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're blanking an entire section with no explanation. Kind regards. Jdcomix (talk) 22:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I appreciate that. .I'm new to all this and I'm not trying to be disruptive. .I was just getting started. .trying to make the page better and more complete.I thought that is what Wikipedia wants. I'm sorry if I did something wrong. .What is the proper protocol to edit that page? I have references for everthing I wrote . I am that person. TandG-history (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is considered vandalism to blank an entire section without explanation. Jdcomix (talk) 22:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize I did. .All the information on there before i tried to edit is accurate and I definitely want all that information in there.I was just trying to add to it.. .I'm sorry I didn't mean to do blank a section ..I will do some research to try figure out the right way to make future edits before I do them..I'm sorry I didn't know what I was doing. .thanks for your time in responding. I appreciate that. Have a good day. TandG-history (talk) 22:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Jdcomix. 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:New admin school/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! — MusikAnimal talk 07:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016

Information icon Hello, I'm United States Man. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tornadoes of 2015, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. United States Man (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to November 2014 North American cold wave, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-retirement

Hey there! I haven't seen you around much. Just to let you know, we don't list when storm names aren't retired, as non-information isn't necessary for the article. Only ~76 storm names were retired, but there are hundreds more storm articles, so retirement is the exception, not the norm. I hope me undoing your edits doesn't dissuade you from editing hurricane articles! If you need help working on storm articles, I'd be glad to be of assistance. Cheers, Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Second most active month

I based my reversion on the number of confirmed tornadoes. We appear to have 45 so far. This puts 2016 in 7th place for the past 10 years for January-February totals, in 4th place for totals through February 16, and below the mean for both. The chart I found on preliminary reports puts 2016 in 5th place. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:16, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I based my edit off of counting the daily tornado reports, which I found 103 total; trust me, I added up all of the reports from every tornado day. Jdcomix (talk) 22:48, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cummer Valley Middle School

Why did you mark this article for speedy deletion as vandalism? - MrX 02:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please quote your source? The author has been blocked for vandalism and the original article isn't available, so there is a problem of copyright.Xx236 (talk) 08:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Time to talk about Twinkle?

Hi Jdcomix. I'm a product manager in the Wikimedia Editing team researching edit-review and anti-vandalism tools for a project we're planning that could yield more powerful and convenient tech for people like yourself. I see from Recent Changes that you appear to be an active Twinkle user. I'd like to walk through Twinkle with someone who understands it's strengths and weaknesses and can give me a feel for common workflows of Twinkle users.

Would you be a good person to act as my guide? If so, I’ll send you an invitation to chat; please let me know how to contact you and what timezone you're in (I'm in Pacific Time). If not, do you know someone?

Thanks very much for your help. JMatazzoni (WMF) (talk) 17:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to hear that I am gaining a reputation on here! :D Anyway, I am an active Twinkle user, but I can't really think of many improvements to it, it's already great as is. Jdcomix (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oostendesche FC

Read about the speedy deletion of Oostendesche FC, I have been doing research on the Belgian Football League, want to apologize for the lack of content. Trying to find out if the team still exists, merged with another team, or dissolved. I am a soccer fanatic & love all of the information that Wikipedia has already on leagues & teams from around our world. Hoping to add the knowledge that I am gaining to Wikipedia, thank you for reading. Bkyates20 (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Noonan Syndrome Edits

Hi

I didn't realise you kept deleting my changes, was wondering why it kept reverting back! I am an adult with NS, have worked with many of the researchers over the years, and thought I was making constructive changes, as some of the bullet points should be elsewhere (some of the stature and posture bullets should be in the musculoskeletal heading) and some other stuff I noticed I thought I could improve. I am sorry if you didn't think so! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.123.110.174 (talk) 02:03, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! I didn't realize that this was the case! In that case, I'm removing you from ARV. Maybe creating an account specifying this would be good? Jdcomix (talk) 02:06, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NO worries at all. Yes, I should create an account. Off to bed, but will see if I can improve the page a bit tomorrow! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.123.110.174 (talk) 02:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My warnings.

Hi Jdcomix i was on my talk page a few seconds ago and I saw something about "personal attacks" can you please explain what those personal attacks were. The reason I was upset was because I tried to make a constructive edit and it's not the fact that you reverted it that got me upset, it was when you said I can be blocked. I was pissed off when I heard that as I was not trying to vandalize this page, vandalism is that edit I made to dick(surname) that's vandalism but the edits I made to "Sierra made occidental" are just unprofessional attempts to at least TRY to help. Now I hope you can actually understand and not block me for posting that. Look if I offended you or anything I'm very sorry, I would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings. Have a good day Jdcomix. Herpetology (talk) 02:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Look at my userpage. I am not an admin, so I don't have authority over these things. If I were you, I would just not make unconstructive edits, as registered users who only use their account for vandalism could get blocked indefinitely. Jdcomix (talk) 02:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jdcomix look I did not write all these words to offend you or something I was just wondering why the edits were considered unconstructive, maybe my edits are not high quality at all, but I'm trying to help this wiki not hurt it. Now do you have any tips to make my edits actually constructive for say. I also am just wondering what those personal attacks are. Dude I understand you are not a admin, it's just that I'm new here I only joined here in like February, so I don't really know how to have high quality edits. Look man I feel bad if my words were harsh I will be always be nice to you. Have a good day Jdcomix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snake dude (talk • contribs) 02:21, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Check this page out. It helped a lot for me. Jdcomix (talk) 02:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Total tornadoes box for events on Tornadoes of 2016

Hi Jdcomix, I noticed that there is now a box for total tornadoes in the tornado count for events of Tornadoes of 2016. I don't know much about it, but the previous tornado year articles didn't have that, and I thought it was just for the year total. Has it been decided that the total box would be used on all of the tornado counts? I just wanted to know, because I don't think they have before. – Jh23487 (talk) 21:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just added them for convenience, so people would know which outbreaks were largest later in the year, since 2016 is forecast to be so active. Jdcomix (talk) 21:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then. Maybe you should let other editors know somehow, since this doesn't seem to have been done before. I was thinking about reverting the edit, and if other editors see that it isn't normal and wasn't used before, they might revert it. Jh23487 (talk) 22:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry warnings

Hi there, I'm having trouble understanding why you've notified IP 166.137.105.30 three times [2][3][4] in the last two days that they are suspected of sockpuppeteering. The user hasn't edited since the 16th, so only 1 notice would have been sufficient, although the notices aren't terribly useful. As an admin, I have tons of experience dealing with sockpuppeteers, and I can assure you that there is neither a requirement that you notify them of your suspicion, and I have never found a reason to do so. At best you tip them off that they're under scrutiny, and they hop to another IP or account before anyone can do anything about it. Food for thought. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:03, 20 March 2016 (UTC

It is because I have suspected more than one account of sockpuppetry, so it notifies all users involved. Jdcomix (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Salah Abdeslam arrested

Is Salem Abdeslam getting arrested a local event. Because it doesn't looks like it to me. 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, he was confirmed to have been arrested after a raid. Jdcomix (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So it can be removed? 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:50, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, it can't because it is notable. Jdcomix (talk) 13:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Just wondering. But does it need to have a source? 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Sorry I mistook your edits for vandalism. Just make sure to specify why you are removing content. Jdcomix (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because it needs to have a source to verify it. 207.161.13.82 (talk) 13:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
