Why u revert my edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.69.254.101 (talk) 16:18, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @168.69.254.101,
- I looked through your recent edits and I can't actually find an edit of yours that I've reverted. If you can link to the the article I reverted on I could take a look. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:04, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Page wrongly titled
Hello, I don't know if you can do it, I inform you that the page called Isaih Pacheco is wrongly titled, it should be "Isiah Pacheco", I hope you can fix the mistake or let someone know who can. Thank you. Sergio Skol (talk) 21:40, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Sergio Skol,
- Wow, I've never seen this before. So many sites with Isiah's name spelt wrong. Even the article itself had every version of spelling as Isiah.
- What's funny to me is Rutgers has even Tweeted at Isiah.
- I copy and pasted all the content from the misspelled page and placed it on the proper version, the Isiah Pacheco article. I then made Isaih Pacheco into a redirect. Good catch on that one! Hey man im josh (talk) 11:38, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I also updated all the links that directed to Isaih Pacheco to now direct to Isiah Pacheco. Luckily it was only 19 pages that needed such changes. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Night sky revert
Hi there, please consider reverting the wording to 'killed himself'. This is accurate, neutral, and how it is referred to in the show. 'Commit' does not inherently refer to a crime, but that is the origin of this phrase in particular (e.g. commit homicide), which is now outdated and is recommended to be avoided in the press: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide#Definitions. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.30.183.150 (talk • contribs) 11:10, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @82.30.183.150, that was an interesting read. I find the phrasing of "killed him/herself" to be more blunt and harsh than "committed suicide", but perhaps that's just me. While I don't personally agree that "commit" carries any type of negative connotation (commit to a school, to a partner, to cause), the fact that several news companies have deprecated the phrasing means that at least some people take the phrasing seriously. I've changed it back to your previous phrasing, you have good reasoning for the change you want to make and I appreciate that you took the time reach out about it. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time as well. I agree that the phrasing 'killed him/herself' is blunt, but it's not as loaded in my opinion. I personally prefer 'took their own life', but I agree that it is euphemistic for these purposes. Take care :) 82.30.183.150 (talk) 12:40, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Iseult. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Aug 1929, and have marked it as unreviewed. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Iseult Δx parlez moi 15:45, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @Iseult, why did you unreview the page? Hey man im josh (talk) 15:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- I meant to review it, but evidently you reviewed it just then, and the page didn't refresh, so it was unreviewed. I rereviewed it immediately thereafter. Iseult Δx parlez moi 15:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- Gotcha. A mistake that triggered an auto message, it happens! Edit: And it literally just happened again, but this time it was me to you lol. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:50, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Content removal about Eurasian sparrowhawk diet
Hi, I am unsure why my updated contribution on Eurasian sparrowhawk diet was removed? It was sourced from a peer-reviewed journal article https://doi.org/10.1111/ibi.12918.
Please could you explain why my changes were reverted?
Thanks. 128.243.2.30 (talk) 13:14, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @128.243.2.30,, I've restored your entry. I was only looking at the most recent edit when I pressed rollback. I originally thought you were removing a reference but in actuality you were moving a reference in two separate edits. Sorry about the confusion and any inconvenience I caused! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:18, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Your opinion
Hi Josh,
I added an accolade (Built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Year) to John Sullivan (Rams), later seeing it was originally deleted in January. Spf121188 was nice enough to respond to my message asking him about that deletion.
Your name popped up, and I thought of "Mister Accolade". I saw 4 other players that had it listed. These gray areas get me.
I do agree with Spf121188, it really isn't a top-notch award that needs to be there. I'm all for removing them. What do you think?
Another example is the Pop Warner Trophy. Some are in the infobox, some at the bottom of the page. Oh well.
Thank you once again,
John Bringingthewood (talk) 01:34, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Bringingthewood, there's always a concern with accolade creep. It's sometimes hard to decide where to draw the line in what awards and accomplishments are worth mentioning in the infobox, as if we allow too many then infoboxes get way too big and every sponsored award that lasts for 3-5 years ends up included.
- I say WP:BEBOLD and go for the removal, as I do agree with Spf. If someone reverts your removals then you could start a discussion at the NFL Wikiproject talk page. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:18, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good, and I agree with you, too many would cheapen it.
- Lately I've been trying to stay with some that seem to make sense.
- If someone gets upset, they'll definitely speak up, lol.
- Thank you for your opinion! Bringingthewood (talk) 03:34, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
June 2022 RE: “Eurasian” article
Hi, just regarding mine and then your subsequent edit. I read the article and found some really weird and creepy stuff (some of it sounding racist) written in it, of a much worse quality than I’d ever seen on Wikipedia. Checking the talk page, there really were some genuine racists editing this page, using archaic language and referring to people as “caucasoid”, “mongoloid” and debating whether Jews should be considered white using some pretty overtly antisemitic theories, or how “purely” white celebrities are.
I’m new to Wikipedia editing so I sent an email to the one on the “contact” page, hoping something could be rectified. I got an email back telling me it’s all in the hands of volunteer editors. I thought I should do something, so I removed the parts using archaic language and referring to “mongoloid” and “caucasoid” skulls. On the very Wikipedia page for the world “mongoloid” it’s known to be a racist term for used by anthropologists 100 years ago to try and describe Asian people as being inferior, through describing their skulls as being different to European skulls and being thus inferior.
Anyway that’s what led me to deleting that section and me replying to your message here, explaining that. I guess it just bothered me a lot when I saw racism on Wikipedia and really, I expected a higher standard from it. It’d be a shame if Wikipedia was used to justify peoples racist views — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.36.199.109 (talk) 11:12, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
I hope that clears that up, All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.36.199.109 (talk) 11:08, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @175.36.199.109, the problem is that you removed a large amount of content instead of changing the phrasing. Please do feel free to make updates to the page, but do so in a constructive manner with sources. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Edit summary weirdness
Hey there. Just noticed that you've gone through and removed the 'Resides' line from a bunch of pro wrestler infoboxes - the edit summary for all of these, though, reads "Added NFL WikiProject tag to pages listed under Category:National Football League players by team". It caught my attention as the article I first spotted it on is about a guy who never played football. Is this a hiccup in your AWB setup causing the erroneous edit summary, or did something else go amiss? Just wanted to let you know! Tony Fox (arf!) 16:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Ah damn it!! Resides/residence is a deprecated parameter for the Template:Infobox professional wrestler and I've been mass removing it from affected templates. Thanks so much for pointing this out to me, I'm using WP:AWB and it looks like it just swapped the default summary at some point on me. I may have hit a down arrow in the program or something that caused the summary to change to an older one that I had been using. Definitely just a hiccup on my end, and I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention @Tony Fox. Thankfully it's just on a couple dozen or so pages instead of the entire several hundred I've gone through today. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- The joys of technology. Happy to help! Tony Fox (arf!) 16:33, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Hey man im josh,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 11292 articles, as of 02:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Accuracy complaints are verifiability complaints
Hi Hey man im josh, due to an AIV report about Debanjanepiskey's alleged "not here to build an encyclopedia" behavior, I'm currently looking through their edits and find myself restoring most of them, as the user has voiced concerns about the factual accuracy of statements that lack proper sourcing, and your reaction was to restore the improper sourcing. I just wanted to take a moment to express my disapproval. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:30, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @ToBeFree, the information was available in the source provided. Though, now that I've read your revert of one my edits, I've come to realize that the disclaimer at the bottom of the website disqualifies it as a valid source.
- The disputed text was;
As of 2018, the price of residential property in Bhowanipore is amongst the neighbourhoods with high prices in Kolkata, and the price has almost doubled in the last decade
- The information available in the Sales Price Trends graph currently only goes back to Jan-Mar' 09, while it may have been different when originally referenced, I'll list the data for the oldest available sales data;
- Average price values: Jan-Mar' 09
- Upper Range Value: Rs. 4,864 /Sq-ft
- Average Range Value: Rs. 4,631 /Sq-ft
- Lower Range Value: Rs. 4,399 /Sq-ft
- Average price values: Jan-Mar' 18
- Upper Range Value: Rs. 12,177 /Sq-ft, representing a 250% increase
- Average Range Value: Rs. 9,752 /Sq-ft, representing a 211% increase
- Lower Range Value: Rs. 7,327 /Sq-ft, representing a 167% increase
- I explain this not to argue with your decision, but to show that I was not making these reverts without reason.
- I appreciate feedback, and while I don't enjoy an administrator reaching out to me about an issue, I'll work to avoid conflicts like this moving forward. I do see other ways I could have gone about this. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- First of all, no worries, and thank you very much for the detailed itemization. I think if this had been a purely mathematical statement, there would be no need to complain about even the use of primary sources. What bothered me is the personal interpretation of the data beyond a pure "The price of residential property in Bhowanipore has doubled in the last decade", and the lack of any justification for including the statement in the article at all. Due to inflation all over the world, for example, I guess it would be possible to create similar-looking sentences about most of the world's neighbourhoods, with these sentences having no relevance to the specific articles. An extreme example may be "The price of residential property in X has more than doubled in the last 50 years", which (not taking inflation into account) can probably be added to almost all articles. So where do we draw the line? 10 years are fine, 50 are irrelevant?
- So if I understand the situation correctly, even the best primary sources can't really justify restoring such content; what we need would be a secondary reliable source reporting about how bad the situation is compared to other neighborhoods. If that happens (or has happened), it's probably worth including. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:49, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah you're right. I'm glad you mention that because I was thinking about it after my last reply, that it's hardly notable due to it happening all over the world. It's definitely not something I'm passionate about having included on an article when considering just how common that situation is now. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:59, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, I wanted to clarify what was going on with List of victims of the September 11 attacks. While I initially moved it to draft space, this was reverted due to an issue with redirects, because thousands of pages redirect to it. Instead, I am reverting the article to the version before the bold edits. I have kept a copy of the work-in-progress on my user page for the benefit of the editor who is attempting to build this, and there are no redirect issues related to that copy. There is clearly a lot of work required before that can be published as an article. Cheers. Onetwothreeip (talk) 23:20, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, hope you're doing great. This is regarding the edits you reverted in List of Muslim military leaders. As far as I can extrapolate, you have some problem regarding the grammatical syntax/linguistics, because questioning well-sourced facts is too trivial and irrational for a reputed Wikipedia member like you. Consequently, I would request you to mention the mistakes I committed in my edit, which engendered a revert, so that I can add the additional facts and, simultaneously adhere to the Wikipedia regulations. --Snapthirsty110 (talk) 03:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

- Hey @Munisuvrat, the content you've been removing is relevant to the article. Do you by any chance have a source that discredits findings of temples for other religions? There are many sources in the section you've been trying to remove, including a picture of a Shiva temple which is supposedly from that location. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:59, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- No, It's wrong, because this whole page is only about Jainism and the whole mountain is under the control of Jain Sangh. So the content should be removed Munisuvrat (talk) 14:06, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- The page, Palitana temples, is about Palitana temples, and some of them happen to relate to religions outside of Jainism. It does not harm the article to mention that there are temples with other religious associations there. In fact, many may argue it actually improves the article by mentioning additional information. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Seriously @Munisuvrat? We're discussing the content of the article and then you go ahead and remove it anyways? Wikipedia is meant to be a collaboration, not POV pushing. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:19, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Apologies for the lack of neutrality.

- Hi @Lord Milner, you should always be able to access a list of the pages you created here. To find that page you would go to "Tools" on the left hand side of the page > Special pages > User logs (under the Recent changes and logs section) > User logs. You'll now be at the public logs search. From the drop down list, select "Page creation log", enter the name of the person you want to search under the Performer field (yourself in this case), and press earch.

- Hey, josh man, don't tell me you erased it all.🙂 I don't have a copy.😬 Ha, ha. Lord Milner (talk) 18:37, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
I seem to be stuck in some sort of loop, and I can't access the article. I have it copied, and would like to bring it back for submission, but I don't know what you were trying to do. It really is something different from the Lord Alfred Milner biography page, and if you'd like, I can link to it for ease of viewing. Please let me know your thoughts. Lord Milner (talk) 05:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Lord Milner, I see now what happened. Someone else had changed a page you created to a redirect, and I modified the redirect categories they had added. Your work hasn't been lost, you can access all of the page history here. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:39, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I found it but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Can you approve it as is and publish it? Everything is totally credible with it. Thanks. Lord Milner (talk) 19:51, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

- Hey @180.191.165.212, Googling the name didn't provide any sources for this. This is why it's important for editors to provide sources for the changes they make. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:26, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Need some advice.
Good morning. Can I ask for your advice / 2nd opinion regarding how to proceed with whatever is happening at Sexy Vegan. The editor actually has some genuine points about the validity of many of the sources, and that much of what the article claims about criminal convictions is demonstrably false. But they are being overly-enthusiastic with the removal of content and I can't properly vet every source and statement. Beyond that, in collaborating with them I'm at and honestly probably beyond 3RR depending on how one looks at it. They seem to want to improve the article, should I just proceed with an ANEW report? (Forget WP:BOOMERANG if I get it, I'll take it.) Or how should I proceed. GabberFlasted (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Excuse me, I forgot to mention there has been discussion on my talk page. GabberFlasted (talk) 14:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- It's tough, because as you said they do seem to have a point.
- You could copy and paste the article content (a previous version) into a sandbox, consider the changes the user is mentioning, vet the sources and statements, and make the changes you see fit. Then once you're finished you can update the entirety of the article without worrying about back and forth the whole way through. If they continue to remove sourced content afterwards then it could be worthy of discussion at WP:ANEW. Currently though I'd say falls under a content dispute of which nobody is technically wrong (yet). Hey man im josh (talk) 14:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, I'll proceed as suggested. Just reading the article makes me lose my mind so I needed this. Have a lovely day. GabberFlasted (talk) 14:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I am not trying to over reach, the issue was that I have followed this person even before the dr phil stuff and to see Pet Semetary just make stuff up & then quote stuff that had nothing to do with what they said was so defamatory, the way the page sits now is ok, not perfect but much better. If possible Can you please VET any change pet semetary tries to make? I can show references for all my edits but pet semetary just makes stuff up. They referenced a tik tok sound & then made up a bunch of crimimal stuff. If you agree to work with me and calm the defamation i will work with you Kristin carlicci (talk) 16:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Like I said on your talk page, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm looking at the page's revision history and their last edit to the article was yesterday, before you began modifying the article. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Hans is just a nickname and i think that the 3 main things should be focused on, Media Personality, Musician (he gets paid from the streams of 5 albums so he is not amatuer) and political candidate. I dont think film extra, former youtuber and author are worth mentioning, at least not in the initial part cause 3 things is enough, dont you think? Kristin carlicci (talk) 16:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Take this to the article's talk page please. If you want the article to focus specifically on or away from something it's better that the discussion take place in a spot where others can read said discussion later on to understand why the changes to the article were made. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:25, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
I apologise, i was wrong about that, they are not back but if they do come back and do the vandalism again please try to prevent it, thanks so much Kristin carlicci (talk) 16:23, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
pet semetary is back for sure now & vandalizing article, can you please revert his vandalism and block him. plus please lock the page, i clicked ur link & cant figure how to do it Kristin carlicci (talk) 17:42, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Tagging pages for CSD G13
Hello, Hey man im josh,
Just a head's up if you want to be tagging expiring drafts for deletion. If you live in the U.S., or another part of the world with Daylight Savings Time, you have to add an hour to the last edit on a draft that was last edited on January 14th. So, if the last edit was at 8:06 AM Jan. 14th, it will be eligible for deletion at 9:06 AM on July 14th. There are two ways to see this, you can install a gadget that shows UTC time, which is the time that governs Wikipedia (and why we need to adjust our time in the U.S.) and also, if the tagging happens too early, you can see this because the CSD tag will be bright pink and it will say that the page may not be eligible for CSD G13 because it's too soon.
Of course, this "adding an hour to the last edit" business does change. There is a small window where the time six month ago is the same as the time on the day you are doing the tagging and another long period where we deduct an hour from the time of the last edit to the draft. Once you are aware that there are differences over a course of a year in the U.S. and that Wikipedia runs on UTC time (which doesn't have Daylights Savings Time), it's not a big adjustment to make. Thanks for your help! Liz Read! Talk! 16:01, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, I hadn't thought of that! That makes sense, I'll take that into consideration moving forward. Thank you for letting me know @Liz. :) Hey man im josh (talk) 16:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Politicians
Draft:Hazim Beg is, depressingly, likely to meet WP:NPOLITICIAN since they have held national office. "depressingly" because the single source ought generally to be insufficient. But Beg was a Minister in government. YMMV, or course, but I feel draftification was likely an easy error to make 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Timtrent, thank you for reaching out. I hope one poor source isn't enough to pass WP:NPOLITICIAN and allow a page of that quality to remain, but I'm happy to admit a mistake and learn from it if I was wrong in doing so. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Regrettably our criteria have a bizarre effect which means that a 'thing' which is notable should be considered as appropriate for an article, even with appalling referencing. I find it perplexing and horrible. I have no strong feelings about your draftification. I felt you ought to be prompted to research it, though. I'm a veteran of many AfDs and have had this argument used with success to keep a very poor article before.
- May I suggest that deletion is often indicated rather that whooshing a bad article to Draft? There is a danger of using draftification as a sort of delayed action deletion process. The alternative is that the creating editor moved it directly back to mainspace, so we have a contested draftification. Sending it back to draft then would be edit warring, so we end up at AfD anyway. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:19, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Timtrent: So, in your opinion I should have put the article up for AfD and allowed a vote to go through? I guess my stance/opinion is that notable and ready for main space aren't the same thing. Never the less, I understand what you're saying and I appreciate you saying it. I'm going to review your draftify log when I get a chance to see some examples of when draftification may be appropriate.
- Where do you suggest I go from here? Leave the draft as is or move it back to the main space? Hey man im josh (talk) 12:37, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I suggest this one be left, and you do a little wider thinking for the future. You should also know that I may be incorrect, so you do need to be your own person on this.
- I am much more AFC oriented than NPP, so my thoughts are wearing that hat. To me a non notable entity warrants deletion. A Borderline one may be better discussed at AfD with the community rather than a single reviewer saying yes or no, and an obviously notable but not written like that or referenced like that goes to Draft
- This way neither the NPP nor the AFC backlogs are impacted. Of course the AfD backlog increases, but the work has to be done somewhere, and is usually best done once, well. However good you are and however good I am, we are servants of the wider community. AfD is the will of the community on borderline and unsuitable articles. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback and discussion :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:43, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
Unexplained but has explanation
An IP removed a paragraph with edit summary "Remove 21st century history section (relevancy very unclear, reads more like company promotion)". You restored it with edit summary "unexplained content removal". That IP's edit summary seems like a pretty clear explanation. Could you double-check and possibly clarify your reasoning here? DMacks (talk) 22:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @DMacks, that's weird. I believe I may have misclicked on a hotkey in Huggle. I've reverted my rollback and removed my warning from the IP user's page. Thank you for bringing this up to me! Hey man im josh (talk) 23:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick-fix! Unrelatedly, I have no idea who or what "Gru" is, but it would surely be better than that Marmaduke (2022 film) film. I should unwatchlist that travesty. DMacks (talk) 23:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Draft:List of chief secretaries of Himachal Pradesh
Whats your problem Mr. Why you do Draft:List of chief secretaries of Himachal Pradesh article?? Itsrahulkashyap (talk) 02:07, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Itsrahulkashyap: Communication is important on Wikipedia, which is why you should take the time to read what a user is communicating to you before instantly trying to undo what they did. This is a collaborative effort and reverting edits without an edit summary or some type of acknowledgement is not helpful. As it stands, your article is incomplete. You've created a list of chief secretaries but there are only 3 entries on the table/list out of 41 secretaries that are meant to be listed. I moved your article to the draft space so that you could complete your work on the article. Instead of copy and pasting the text from the draft article to the main article, you should allow my speedy deletion request to move forward. This would delete the main page and allow the draft to be moved back to the main space to preserve the edit history when the page is ready. See WP:PAGEMOVE for more about page moves. I encourage you not to move the draft back to the main space while it's still a work in progress. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Itsrahulkashyap, I wanted to say that I appreciate that you're trying to contribute to Wikipedia, and I want you to continue to do so. But you need to communicate with me (and other editors) buddy. I see that the main space article was deleted and that you created it. What's up with that?

- For what it's worth, I do think they were in a relationship, but as far as I've seen it's always been implied and not really "confirmed". I'll review the talk page now since you mentioned it. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:25, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Ohhhh, the update is based on the show from last night where new information came to light, that makes more sense. @Stephanie921, wouldn't Gus be considered bisexual? He mentions having a wife and kids in season 3, episode 11, Abiquiu (Breaking Bad). Hey man im josh (talk) 15:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
He says that as a ruse to Walt to seem like he actually lived in the house with a family :) Hit and Run reveals he was lying and that a lot of properties in the area - including the house he invited Jesse and Walt to in Breaking Bad - are owned by him as part of his operation, with people constantly surveying and guarding the area and secret doors connecting properties. It's how Tyrus knew Walt was coming to kill Gus in Thirty-Eight Snub - as he was watching him from nearby. He doesn't have a family cos he's completely devoted to business, hence why he didn't start dating David despite them being attracted to each other.Stephanie921 (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- Hey @Stephanie921, nothing to be sorry for! I'm not bothered in the slightest by the insults of vandals, but I do appreciate your concern about it. If I'm being completely honest... I absolutely love it when vandals get upset like that because instead of them being the disruptive ones, they're the ones who feel disrupted.
- I don't believe we (non-admins) are supposed to add the block template to their user page (please do correct me if I'm wrong). Their username was a violation of the username policy, they just happened to get reported (automatically) for vandalism before I caught on and reported the name.

Hi Josh! I've blocked 82.77.154.42 for 3 months. This isn't their first rodeo and the problems have persisted since May; their response to your warning also wasn't exactly promising. TheSandDoctor Talk 19:08, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @TheSandDoctor, thank you! I just saw their response, definitely looks like someone WP:NOTHERE lol. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:12, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion contested: Sheikh Muhammad Isa
Hello Hey man im josh. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Sheikh Muhammad Isa, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: "He was the chief of the Jagir of Maler" is enough to DQ A7. Thank you. BangJan1999 19:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of UvaldeCopsKilledChildren
Hi, regarding Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of UvaldeCopsKilledChildren. The category is inside itself, which is illegal. Exactly who is UvaldeCopsKilledChildren suspected to be a sock of? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:24, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Redrose64, I fixed it. They had a sock, User:UvaldePoliceSatire. I've already been informed I'm not actually supposed to make those categories or apply those tags, so I won't be making that mistake again in the future. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The categories shouldn't be used directly. I think that this is what you should have done. But yes, the WP:SPI experts should be doing this. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:49, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
@sohoplace speedy deletion
Hey Josh
I got your message about speedy deletion of my page @sohoplace. Why did you flag this? It's a new West End theatre and has been already cited in the West End theatre page. I just created a basic page which can be added to when it opens. This is a major thing within London theatre circles and should definitely be included on wikipedia. Mahlermad (talk) 14:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Mahlermad, Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and we all have different opinions on things. My opinion was that the article wasn't noteworthy. However someone else who agrees with you came along and removed the speedy deletion tag that I had applied, which I do no intend on reapplying. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
list of fresh water aquarium fish
I believe the disclaimer is good to have as some people may see the info on the wiki and think that this is enough info to keep a living animal, so a short disclaimer will help people understand this is not enough info but rather a short general suggestion.
Thanks man, RealFakeBezalbob Realfakebezalbob (talk) 16:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Realfakebezalbob, I understand the good intentions that you had by adding the disclaimer. However, Wikiepedia has a policy against adding disclaimers to articles. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- so in my opinion what I said isnt really a disclaimer, I just didnt have a better word for it (its more like a tip, or suggestion than a "disclaimer" per say )
- definition- a statement that denies something, especially responsibility.
- my statement is not trying to deny or put the blame onto someone else but rather to aid some one who may not know there is more detailed information
- not trying to be pushy or aggressive, and if you truly think not having it would be the best then I will agree with that! Realfakebezalbob (talk) 16:37, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Realfakebezalbob, no worries, I believe your changes are in good faith. I don't believe the article has anything implying that it's a "care sheet" as it gives no information on the care of the animals. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
sourcing on "list of freshwater species"
hey could I get some help if the sourcing (or lack of) is okay as this article commonly mentions already mentioned in the animals article, as I believe the user Elmidae is being unreasonable and very toxic and deleting a good portion of the article. thx Realfakebezalbob (talk) 18:49, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Realfakebezalbob, I think I see why people are reverting your edits. You're adding a new column that some users apparently don't agree with, while also being asked to add sources for the content that you're adding. Why don't you have a discussion on the talk page with the users who reverted your edit to see if there's consensus to add that column? You can get their attention by using the {{ping}} template. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:34, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think we may have worked it out Realfakebezalbob (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Dieter Wedel
You removed my edit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dieter_Wedel&oldid=1099579741 . Your rationale for this was "I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Dieter Wedel, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:28, 21 July 2022 (UTC)" My stated reason for the revision, which is available in the revision history, was "a translation of one paragraph in German Wikipedia about Wedel's sexual misconduct". Also, Dieter Wedel died yesterday. This has been reported in the German press. I can't stop you from reverting additions to Wikipedia that are translations of sourced claims in foreign-language versions of Wikipedia, but I can certainly be discouraged from helping Wikipedia anymore. --159.196.41.177 (talk) 21:03, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- @159.196.41.177, you're right, I should not have issued that as a BLP warning. With that said, the result would have still been the same had I realized they had died. I would have still removed the contentious content because it was unsourced and issued a warning. I'm sorry I issued the wrong type of warning, but content, especially sexual allegations, needs to come with sources. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:03, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Is Wikipedia a source? Because it's there already. I discourage you from continuing to do this. You are not making Wikipedia better. 159.196.41.177 (talk) 00:54, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- @159.196.41.177 it simply doesn't work that way. You can't source it on one language's Wikipedia and then have free reign to add the same content complete unsourced on 50 different language's articles. You are not making Wikipedia any better by adding unsourced content and arguing about whether contentious additions need to be sourced. Just add sources when you're adding content that can be perceived as negative. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- @159.196.41.177, I've gone ahead and replaced the warning about sourcing BLP content on your user page with the version that's just for unsourced content. Again, I apologize for issuing the wrong type of warning. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Can I have some help please
A user called FishAndChipper called me bro yesterday. And when I asked them not to call me bro cos I'm a woman, they told me "bro is a gender-neutral term". Furthermore, they was edit warring on the Saul Goodman page. I edited the page after their reversion cos I thought I had an improvement, he reverted it back, then another user changed it again - having a problem with Chipper's edit. But Fish changed it yet again.
I posted an edit war template on their talk page and in turn they abused the template purpose, vandalising my page with one and claiming to be my "only warning". I have since reverted my page , but their page still has my edits. Chipper also falsely accused me of constantly reverting the page even though I only did so once. Please could you tell me how to deal with this, if ya know? You're clearly an experienced editor so I was wondering if you knew who I should report this to, cos I don't know.
I'm not asking you to deal with it directly ofc - and you don't have to reply to this or give me advice if u don't wanna - but I just wanted help on who to talk to about this Stephanie921 (talk) 23:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Stephanie921, they definitely improperly issued an edit warring warning to you. I've removed it from your page and issued a warning to them for improper use of warning templates. Always try to go to the talk page when you can and try to wait until a fourth edit instead of issuing the warning after the third time (see WP:3RR. If they continue to edit war, you can always make a report at the edit warring noticeboard.
- As for being called bro, I believe they should stop referring to you as bro if you ask them to, but try your best to let it roll off your back if you can. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:38, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you very much Josh :D I appreciate your advice about waiting until the fourth edit however - although I understand the 3RR rule (the RRR rule you could say lol) - I don't get why I have to wait until the 4th edit, and would appreciate if u explained that to me :)
- Additionally, thank u for your advice about the edit war noticeboard. I'll use that from now on if similar sitches happen.
- And thanks for recommending I let it roll down the ol' back. I usually do that, and did so here too (I haven't thought about it at all offline) :) Stephanie921 (talk) 16:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Stephanie921, maybe WP:4RR is the better way to remember it, but I think of it as anything more than 3, then it's a violation. Technically a user can be engaged in an edit war before they reach that point, but in an edit war people often get heated, believing they are the ones who are correct and everybody else is potentially a troll or getting in their way. So, personally, I wait until the 4th edit for that reason because then they can't really dispute that they're in an edit war. Also, please take a look at WP:Indentation, it makes following discussions much easier when you indent your replies. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:05, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Gotcha, thanks for the explanation and advice 'bout indentation :) I'll give that article a full look tomorrow cos I'm gonna 'ave a kip now, cheers mate

Anmol Malik
Hi, my apologies in advance. Wikipdia editing is new to me and I'm trying my best to not upset anyone. I was simply trying to update the page with all the recent career upgrades for this person (and I backed everything up with published newspaper articles from respected sources.) No information added is false or needlessly bloated, everything has been accounted for with proper citation and the tone of writing is strictly clinical. Please let me know if I can go ahead with my changes.
Thank you so much, and apologies once again. Wiki page in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anmol_Malik 103.72.207.218 (talk) 13:24, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @103.72.207.218, welcome to Wikipedia! No worries, I believe your efforts were in good faith. I encourage you to read Wikipedia's pages on neutral point of view and reliable sources and undue weight. I'm going to leave a welcome message on your talk page with some useful looks. Keep at it and thanks for contributing. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Contest Speedy Deletion User:Jemaurie Beneche
I don't think this page was deleted as I am not Jemaurie Beneche! I believe he is a notable figure in the clothing brand and music industry. He has multiple articles written about him and I believe he does deserve a page on this website... I understand this is not a social platform of such sort, but believe me, he is making history as we speak. Everything i stated for his page is 100% real! he has many articles written on him and his brand... AGAIN IM NOT JEMAURIE BENECHE! hopefully you can understand and help. Jemaurie Beneche (talk) 21:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
- If this person is notable enough to merit inclusion, and you are not them, then having an account name the same as their real name would be considered impersonation. It would be easier for all involved if you changed your username to something representing you as an individual. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:56, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Hello @73.242.70.87, that's wonderful that you want to contribute and help to make Wikipedia more accurate. Unfortunately you'll need to provide a reliable source to go along with your update because you're changing content that already has a source. Going just based off your first hand knowledge would be considered original research, which is not considered valid. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:47, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
Hold up a little bit...
I appreciate that you're on top of things. But I was in the middle of categorizing a new page when you added tags to it, thus negating my edit in the middle of the process. It's a brand new page - maybe give it a little more than 5 minutes before you start tagging in case the existing editor is already working on what you're tagging. TIA ButlerBlog (talk) 14:26, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Butlerblog: I'm sorry that you were inconvenienced, but that's why the draft name space and several template tags, such as Template:Under construction exist. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- I know - and you're right - and in hindsight it would have been better to draft it and move it later. I was expecting it to take me 5 minutes (which of course, it never does). ButlerBlog (talk) 14:54, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I was just adding it when you created an edit conflict. I literally had just posted a sentence, and you jumped in... never had anyone do that that quickly. Give someone a minute (literally) before you remove something. 2601:4A:857E:6E00:B520:8EC1:44F:ABF (talk) 18:08, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

The unconstructive, WP:BLP violating, WP:COI suspect, WP:RS disregarding edits by a persistent IP user, who has never engaged with the patiently-explained reversions of their "edits" -- which you undid just a week or two ago -- have been reinstated, for at least the third time. Can you initiate a block on this vandal or take other strong measures? PDGPA (talk) 01:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- @PDGPA I don't have the power to block anybody, I'm not an admin. I'll take a look at the edit when I get a chance though. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Destructive IP attempting to blank “Abortion in Vermont”
This IP editor is much more experienced with Wikipedia policies than I am, and I’m exhausted and need to go to sleep and am not able to protect the page. I saw you reverted some of the blanking, but not all of it. And the IP is still pushing after clearly targeting this page despite it being as high of a quality as any of the state-specific abortion articles, and I suspect is the same person as a previous IP and has been preparing for another push at this for a long time. Please, help. I’m not equipped to deal with this, and it seems that Wikipedia’s ability to provide information is about to be compromised by this. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 13:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @VictimOfEntropy, I understand how you're feeling. It looks like the IP user has posted a notice that there's a content dispute at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Vermont#Talk:Abortion in Vermont discussion, so that should bring some other knowledgeable folks into the discussion. You could also ask what the best structure for the article is and whether you're on the right track at Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion. I do however encourage you to be careful and avoid violating the WP:Canvassing rule in the process. Unfortunately I don't think I'm the best person to help you with this due to the sensitivity of the subject, but you can find people more experienced than I am at the WP:Villagepump or WP:Dispute resolution.
