 * You made a mistake in deleting my addition on the GEDmatch page. They changed their Terms of Service on January 11, 2021.  I can't find that version of the Terms online at the moment.  Although they didn't explicitly say so, those Terms redefined "law enforcement kits" to exclude Doe cases, most of which are part of criminal cases.  The DNA Doe Project explained the implications at the time.  (https://www.facebook.com/DNADoeProject/posts/pfbid02Z1T3KjogYUC9HiXgc6UFNifedbuNznAVMAJXUUnb4m7ABnaPN14K3XdG5k6haoC8l) 75.111.89.109 (talk) 02:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Is there a secondary source (like the NY Times or Fox News, or a scientific journal) that outlines these terms? I think your edits are in good faith, but we don't use primary sources here. We use secondary sources, and using social media posts would constitute as something called original research, which is a big no-no here. Thanks for reaching out, InvadingInvader (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you'd have to dig deeper by comparing their previous TOS (which included Does in the opt-out cases) and the January 2021 TOS (which removed Does from the opt-out category). GEDmatch took great pains to hide that change, and proving it would probably qualify as primary sources and original research.  The best I can do is to cite a contemporary blog post (https://thednageek.com/trust/). MyFirstPunkSong (talk) 03:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Rules are rules, and I'm sorry that this can't be included. However, this constitutes as original research. A scholarly article (JSTOR), a news source (NY Times or Fox News), books, magazines, blogs from law firms, or another reputable source has to list it. If you can't find a reliable secondary source, then it doesn't belong. Consider checking out or writing for WikiNews instead; they would like this stuff and accept primary sources. InvadingInvader (talk) 03:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No_original_research this should help as well InvadingInvader (talk) 03:12, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The DNA Geek (author of the blog linked above) is a PhD scientist and one of the leading researchers in the field of genetic genealogy. Is that not a reliable source? MyFirstPunkSong (talk) 03:44, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it can be included if it's phrased as "The DNA Geek raised concerns about this". Remember to keep the content neutrally-phrased. InvadingInvader (talk) 03:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because I have set my userpage to more heavily promote the usage of my talk page. I believe my normal userpage was too cluttered so I moved Wiki activities and COIs to a new “about” page. --InvadingInvader (talk) 00:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi!
Just wanted to say hello to another Wikipedian and thank you for reporting an IP vandal :). I didn't know this was an option on here and am just learning about it! I hope the administrators are quick to take action. BiscuitsToTheRescue (talk) 03:04, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Yup! If it’s a consistently-abused IP, rarely do admins block IPs permanently. Most of the time they’re blocked for 31 hours or something. Appreciate the kind words! InvadingInvader (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC) InvadingInvader (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

August 2022
Ok first of all, Wikipedia is made for constant changes; no rules have been set in stone and every format here is made to be in continuous evolution. Not only does the redundancy in the old format produce confusion once there are more than 3 districts; more than seven representatives in a specific non-present era; multiple representatives changing districts, but it also negates the purpose of the articles made for the districts. I have defended the format we created as we believe that it is right based on what we saw at the articles: New York's congressional districts and Parliamentary constituencies in London.

Hello respected sir

I want to say that I have given a reference to what I have written on the page, which is historically true and Asia has accepted it. But they are forcibly telling him the origin of Gond Bhar. Can you please revert the page to my last edit(orgin and history) and lock him cause I mention all sources on historical base Suryansh Rathore (talk) 04:34, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Please discuss on the talk page. I checked your sources, and they seem to be okay on the outside, but I don't know enough about Indian history, and it would be useful to have a third expert come on. Plus, reverting yourself could possibly put you in violation of Wikipedia's Three revert rule. InvadingInvader (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello
You did not answer my question. — Askhadulin (talk) 18:56, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Apologies for such; I've been caught up with a few things recently. I found what you asked for. InvadingInvader (talk) 14:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I apologize for the disturbance. Here's my response. — Askhadulin (talk) 05:03, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Pororo + a hoax editor
Late reply, but some hoax editor keeps trying to Americanize the show's country of origin. Like, it always was a South Korean show, and I'm not sure if PBS could even license such a long-running South Korean series. Just thought I'd tell you this. WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 04:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * P.S. I have reverted the page, it never was a Cookie Jar production. It seems they've IP hopped and haven't changed. WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 04:58, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I tried to give him a chance by asking him (or whatever their pronouns are...I'll assume male for now) to provide a reliable source. Looks like he wouldn't. I had a debate about this once with an admin; we ended up concluding that repeatedly adding unsourced information constitutes as vandalism, and you're more than welcome to go beyond three reverts to get rid of it.
 * Hopefully after enough reverts he'll shut up about it. If I were you, I'd keep an eye on him and don't be afraid to hit that revert or undo button. It would be useful, however, to read exactly what he is adding as you could mistakenly revert bad stuff (I've done this a few times myself), but so far it does seem like you are in the right. Put more sinisterly, "keep up the barrage". ;) InvadingInvader (talk) 06:04, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Edits regarding federal judges
Hello, I wanted to clarify my removal of the names of judges on 2022 in the United States. If a federal judge is mentioned in an accompanied source, would that make it unnecessary to put them into that specific article with the given event? My rationale is that it can simply be "a federal judge" or something along those lines. I don't know, I just thought it was unnecessary to include and that's why I kept removing them (I usually either clean up the article or add stuff myself). It's no big deal; I just had some thoughts. Losipov (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate the comment, and thanks for reaching out! We need more people who actually talk when there’s a dispute instead of just keep edit warring. I think that since we have articles on most of these federal judges, we should actually use the articles for them. I do, however, support keeping stuff concise, and that’s why when people added “Federal Judge Example Personton of the United States District Court of Absurdistan” I shortened it down to “federal judge example personton”. Additionally, by including federal judge names, we encourage traffic to and stimulate interest in these often forgotten but needed articles on Wikipedia. It’s about including as much detail as possible in a manner that is concise, easier to comprehend (though not exactly the simple English Wikipedia), and appropriate for this article. I personally think that this format should only be used for judges which have Wikipedia pages (or by using red links, judges that should have Wikipedia pages), and panels of judges or the Supreme Court should not have the names listed as they’re already known in the case of SCOTUS or it takes too much space to list all of these judges. Hope this helps! InvadingInvader (talk) 01:03, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Nineteen Eighty-Four and comparisons to Minecraft
Hi, I would like to remind you that it is best to find a reliable source that backs up new claims of content. Your addition of "inciting comparisons to Nineteen Eighty-Four" to the article is fine as a comparison to how the Minecraft community would react to the incident about private server bans, but that specific comparison would need another reliable source to back up the specific mention about comparisons to Nineteen Eighty-Four. On Wikipedia, we strive to add reliable sources (see WP:RELIABLE for further information about reliable sources) for any addition of content that may need verification. Qwertyxp2000 (talk &#124; contribs) 09:34, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Noted. When I originally wrote the section, I primarily relied on the Vox article I cited when it came to RS. I'm actively searching sources again, and if the content is restored, it will be accompanied with additional RS's. Thanks for letting me know! InvadingInvader (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Vice.com is a reliable source when it comes to the specific reference to Nineteen Eighty-Four. Qwertyxp2000 (talk &#124; contribs) 22:05, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I had split the references that specifically mentioned comparisons to Nineteen Eighty-Four with the ones that just generalize that particular Minecraft controversy. I see the claim of Nineteen Eighty-Four comparisons as a completely different claim to that particular Minecraft controversy, and there happens to be two references that match this claim while also supporting the first claim. Which is pretty neat I gotta say. Qwertyxp2000 (talk &#124; contribs) 22:12, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, would you consider moving/merging your recent edit into the existing § Class action tracking lawsuit? Thanks, Ptrnext (talk) 04:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. North America1000 09:05, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, you will find that that page has been deleted under the WP:CSD criterion. That's technically incorrect. It was deleted because it was terrifically bad idea, verging on WP:NOTHERE behaviour. You indicated that is was intended to be humorous. (I'm someone who could not be described as lacking a sense of humour - please see the "Did You No, seriously, I'm not making this stuff up" section on my userpage.) So, imagine that you actually dropped the "kiddo" message on someone's usertalk. They would be be quite right to be terrified - here was that august institution Wikipedia adding the "Navy Seal Copypasta" and its threats. And they would be quite justified in asking that the user who added that message to be blocked.  Please think first about the consequences before creating content like that again. Peter in Australia aka --User:Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Not gonna contest this. I've never used this beyond a small joke to Hey man I'm Josh (he accepted the joke), but you do bring up that people might misuse this. I have no wish to not build an encyclopedia, but if this enables someone else to be WP:NOTHERE, it's for the better it's gone. InvadingInvader (talk) 17:53, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Big Oil Graphic
Overall, I really do like your graphic better, but I just have concerns about keeping it updated. A couple of thoughts... RickyCourtney (talk) 04:47, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Exxon Mobil profit has a double dollar sign
 * Eni should be included, there's consensus that it is a supermajor
 * Including Phillips and Valero is complicated. Phillips 66 (the logo you included) runs downstream operations, while ConocoPhillips runs upstream.


 * Heya, thanks for reaching out! In case you haven't seen...I'm thinking best of both worlds here: export that data and the brands over to the table. I'd be happy to add ConocoPhillips on, and I understand that it would be best if both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 are on; since Phillips 66 owns retail Conoco, that could confuse audiences. InvadingInvader (talk) 04:49, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The bots are just going crazy over the logos...I'm gonna add a graphic without revenues but demonstrates ownership of the Big Oil companies instead. InvadingInvader (talk) 05:27, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of the non-free content policy. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, InvadingInvader. I think you're on the right track with this unblock request, but I'm not quite convinced you understand why you were blocked. Before I'd be willing to unblock you, I'd ask that you read WP:NFC, WP:NFCC, and WP:RFUI, and then explain in your own words why it is not permissible to add non-free images to a template. I'd also want your agreement that you will not edit-war with JJMC89 bot in the future... or really any bot; if you're edit-warring with a bot, either you're doing something wrong, or it is (in which case you need to notify an administrator immediately so they can disable the bot). --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 06:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good.
 * The NFCC criteria contains 10 conditions which all must be fulfilled. Fair use isn't a "get out of jail free" ticket either; since Wikimedia servers are privately owned, the Foundation controls what's allowed and not allowed.
 * Logos in Templates would not fulfill the "Minimal Extent of Use" and "Restrictions on Location" parts of templates, and would be subject to debate with regard to the "Contextual Significance" section. When in doubt, ask or just don't include.
 * Yes, I agree that I will not edit-war with any bot.
 * InvadingInvader (talk) 06:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think that's a pretty good answer. Thank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with these policies. JJMC89, do you object to an unblock based on the above? --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 07:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
