January 2014

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Danielle Mackey, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

October 2015

Your recent editing history at Iraqi Kurdistan shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

January 2016

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Nation of Islam, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 02:11, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

"its important tho and not neutral if this is not included"

I'm sorry, but without a source meeting our criteria at WP:RS this can't be included. All material in the encyclopaedia must be WP:VERIFIABLE and your edit was something we call original research, which we don't allow. While I'm at it, your edit summary (which is definitely appreciated, I wish all editors left good edit summaries) "This was horribly written. there is no geographic land of israel, only Palestine. There is a NATION of Israel. There also isnt a "Torah of Israel" only the Torah" was wrong. Where there is a main article, eg Religious Zionism, it's always a good idea to check it, which is what I did. You can see how I rewrote that section using the source from the main article. See also WP:SUMMARY. Doug Weller talk 10:12, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1936 Naval Revolt (Portugal), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Estado Novo. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

February 2016

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Template talk:Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. MB298 (talk) 19:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

just a general note, I've noticed you've signed it something like "Jp16103 19:34, 14 February 2016 (UTC)" but simply inserting ~~~~ is much simpler and easier. MB298 (talk) 19:34, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Minor edits -- Second request

A month ago you were asked to stop marking non-minor edits as minor, yet you continue to do so. I suspect this is not malicious but instead failure to inform yourself about what is a minor edit. Again, please read WP:MINOR, which states that minor edits are "typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content." These are a few of your recent edits that are not minor: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Please note that the length of an edit does not determine if it is minor. Short edits that add or change content or change the meaning are not minor. Please make the default for your edits as not minor, and mark as minor only if they are spelling, grammar, or typographical corrections. Marking minor edits inappropriately is misleading and rude to other editors. Now that you have been asked twice to stop, continuing to do so could result in a block from editing. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 20:02, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, its a simple mistake. Wont do it again. JP16103 21:21, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

As above, please remember to sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~). Thanks! MB298 (talk) 00:42, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

United States presidential election in North Dakota, 2016

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of United States presidential election in North Dakota, 2016, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://www.newikis.com/en/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Guam,_2016.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Green Party results map

I noticed you uploaded your own version of the Green party primaries results map at File:Greenpartyresults.png, effectively creating a duplicate file of the same information. May I ask why you did this, instead of updating the existing file at File:Green Party presidential primaries results, 2016.png? Philip Terry Graham 05:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I made the first map. You are duplicating me. Jp16103 14:19, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

How can I be duplicating you when you originally uploaded your map on March 13, while I originally uploaded mine on March 6? Also, why are you creating duplicates of your own files? You do realize you can just update the files without having to create a brand new one, right? Philip Terry Graham 01:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Mind you. I actually uploaded my map on March 3rd. Jp16103 02:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

GA Review

Hello. I am informing you that an article you nominated for GA status, 1936 Naval Revolt (Portugal), is now under review by me. I appear to have made a mistake when beginning the review that led to my identity as the reviewer not being made known to the software. I believe that may be why you did not get a bot message alerting you to this. I apologize for the error. I look forward to hearing from you. Display name 99 (talk) 23:14, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Signature

Hi Jp. I hope you don't mind me telling you, but your signature must contain a link to your user page (WP:SIGLINK). Cheers. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 01:22, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, thought it did. Thanks. JP16103 02:12, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Third Party Primary Links

I have started a discussion about including a link for the Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016 in the see also at the top of the Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016 and the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016. Being that you were a part of a previous similar discussion I figured you might like to add your thoughts to the new discussion. Acidskater (talk) 04:30, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

In regards to Template:Green Party presidential primaries, 2016

It's my belief that it would not be best to, at this time, make the cutoff at two candidates. It may be unfair of us to over-emphasize the ongoing primary as being Stein-centric a this point. Making the cutoff two candidates feels arbitrary, and in a sense misleads readers to believe there is a vast lead over all other candidates by the second-place candidate, which indeed could not be further from the truth.

As the race is subject to change, it may almost jumping-the-gun at this point for us to presume that it will have an overly Jill Stein-centric outcome. Whether or not it is the reasonable thing to predict at this point is beside the point. The fact is that the article should best represent things as they are known to be now, not as they are predicted to be, and not as we infer them to be, but (once again) as they are known to be. In a sense it feels like we are being too comfortable presuming that all other candidates are irrelevant at this point. I'm concerned such a characterization may be unfair.
SecretName101 (talk) 18:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Its not really an unfair characterization. Its the truth, only 1 other candidate can get the nomination and that is William Kreml as he and Stein are the only recognized candidates by the GPUSA. Also, most of the other candidates arent even on the ballot in most states. Stein at this point is the unofficial presumptive nominee, that is unless someone else joins. It should be kept to two.

Your unexplained replacement of the infobox image of the Jesus article

Please provide an explanation for your replacement of the lead image at Jesus. Also, it's probably better for you to discuss this and get consensus at the talk page first.Gonzales John (talk) 20:42, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jp. Do you still have objections to my proposals? If so, could you voice them here? Thank you. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 16:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Jill Stein

Howdy. We go by the sources & so far, she's being described as the Green's presumptive presidential nominee. See our reasons for including her as such at the United States presidential election, 2016 article, for example. GoodDay (talk) 13:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Green Party presidential primaries, 2016

Can you account for the delegates not mentioned on the schedule and place a note so the numbers in the schedule and the infobox match......BTW, I see you attend UMass Amherst. I graduated in 1982, an old man. How are things going?.....Pvmoutside (talk) 13:35, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:14, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Vasco Gonçalves. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
