Rollback granted

Hi WJ94. 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! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:38, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! WJ94 (talk) 20:00, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Voynich Manuscript

When looking at a suspected "copyright violation" that's over a decade old, please consider

1) Checking the talk page history. and 2) Making sure the website you think we copied from is older than the edit you're suspicious of.

Thanks for letting me know - I've replied to your post here. WJ94 (talk) 13:25, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for being a little snippy here. I realize now that part of the problem is that the talk page archive got mangled so that searching talk wouldn't have produced any results. ApLundell (talk) 18:25, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's ok - don't worry about it. I'm glad we got the the bottom of it, and hopefully the tag on the talk page should alert anyone in the future. WJ94 (talk) 14:03, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019

Information icon Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Independent Network Charismatic Christianity, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 17:28, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Elizium23, thanks for the note - although I would appreciate receiving personal messages rather than impersonal and unspecific templates. I added Independent Network Charismatic Christianity to List of new religious movements because I thought it met the criteria for the list and the sourcing was appropriate. As you mentioned on the article's talk page, none of the sources specifically cite it as a "new religious movement" which is not something I had thought about, so I am happy with with you removing it.

Hi Yolanda - I didn't quite understand your message but I think you are saying that one of the articles had a mistake in its title. This is what I though too, which is why I made the redirect. I can see that you have not undone my change so I am assuming that you are happy with this. WJ94 (talk) 11:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

yes, you have made a poor error in judgement

revert my edits, they made more sense and read better, were accurate compared to what is on the identity social science page after you removed my edits. i tried to be clearer for you this time where the inadequacies are on that page, it seems you need to read some information on how to cite ideas. it need to be completely rewriten or the world will be full of misinformationMgdyason (talk) 15:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for your understanding and help

i do not have all the time in the world to read all i need to to understand all the workings of wikipedia. i started editing because article's expression is often very very poor like the Identity (social science) page. for eg it begins by using the singular: "Identity 'is'" then lists some abstract concepts along with some concrete yet not essential things like looks eg fashion, when in fact it ought to use the plural are. but that is wrong too, i'm not a linguist yet. but i know that the way it is written is wrong. i needs complete re-wording. i'm unsure of what you have linked me to but i think it's somehow enabling me to revert some things? i would like that and will try to be more neutral next time. i am yet to read what i did to Merleau-Ponty. thanks for remaining calm, and if you have allowed me to revert your reverts, thank you, and if you are an administrator thanks for being a good one.Mgdyason (talk) 10:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In true WP:HEY tradition, you saved Accountability partner and created a substantially improved article.

Explain Deletion of "Aida Hutchinson?"

You deleted my addition of Trump's nickname for Asa Hutchinson, with the explanation of "per 2021 RfC." I don't know what that means. Please explain why you deleted it. Trajan1 (talk) 21:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trajan1, thanks for your message. If you go to the talk page archive, you will see that there was a a formal discussion (a request for comment) which reached the consensus that additions to the list of Trump's nicknames must a) be described as a nickname by at least one secondary, independent, reliable source, b) be described as being used by Trump by at least one secondary, independent, reliable source, c) have been used by Trump on at least two separate occasions, and d) have lasting coverage of the nickname. I removed your Asa Hutchinson addition because it was sourced to a single tweet which did not describe it as a nickname, thus failing criterion b (and potentially others, but since any additional entry needs to meet all four criteria I didn't check any further - although I suspect it fails c and d too). I will admit that we could probably do to have this information more visible either on the talk page or as a notice on the article itself; I will perhaps look into that at some point soon. Let me know if you have any further questions on this. WJ94 (talk) 21:24, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube 101

Hello, since you declined the article, I want to know what does 'non-primary sources' mean. So I might understand. 95.244.140.86 (talk) 17:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 95.244.140.86, thanks for your message. A primary source is a source which is written or published by a person or organisation connected to the subject being discussed. So, in this case, two of your sources were published by YouTube and thus were primary sources. Our guidelines on notability, which are used to determine whether a subject is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, require that there must be significant coverage of a subject in multiple, independent reliable secondary sources. I declined your draft because it did not meet these criteria: two of your references were primary sources (i.e., published by YouTube) and the other two were independent source but did not mention YouTube 101 at all. I hope that explains it - let me know if you have any further questions. WJ94 (talk) 08:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not vandalism

While examining an edit by Nguyen280405 from my watchlist, I looked at their talk page and saw your warnings for this edit and two other instances of the same change. On their talk page, you accused them of vandalism when they insisted that 'Oriental Land' announced the decision to close the park at the beginning of the pandemic.

I looked at the source: '"We plan to reopen on March 16, but we will make an announcement after keeping close contact with relevant institutions", Oriental Land said on its website, adding that it would inform ticket holders of refund policies.'

In other words, Nguyen280405 was right.

Their edits are not without problems, in the same way those of most new editors are not perfect. But they were editing the article according to a reliable source - as their edit summary said - and this is in no way WP:VANDALISM. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 09:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BlackcurrantTea, thank for bringing this to my attention - you are absolutely right. I had assumed that these edits were vandalism but on reflection that was a mistake. I have left a message on the user's talk page to apologise. WJ94 (talk) 10:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for doing that. I was a bit surprised to see the company name (really, 'oriental'?), which led me to check the source. Tokyo DisneySea uses the same reference. Might you consider striking your warnings, to make it obvious to those who only take a quick glance at the user's talk page? Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 12:17, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's exactly what led me to my mistake. And thanks for that suggestion, I will do. WJ94 (talk) 14:03, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Common Interests

Hi WJ94,

I came across your user page while browsing Wikipedia late at night and found that we have quite a lot in common! I am also passionate about the philosophy of religion and am currently pursuing a degree in it. I enjoy the works of Wittgenstein and Kant just like you do. Additionally, I have interests in food and game theory, and coincidentally, I was also born in 1994.

It would be great to connect and discuss our shared interests further. Looking forward to hearing from you!
