copyediting this article. Just once over lightly, please! There's a lot more copyediting to do for the Sunday issue, but it won't be ready for a day or two.

Thunar removal revert incorrect
Hi, at 06:06, 23 November 2020‎, you reverted my change from 15:21, 21 November 2020‎, for the article Thunar. I believe the revert was incorrect. And my removal was both justified and adequately annotated. 2A02:168:2000:5B:1903:1E00:B3BB:B0DD (talk) 20:12, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It didn't seem appropriate to me to remove the section; Wikipedia articles aren't just about the current state of the world, but the history of things and events (otherwise we would not talk about the Holy Roman Empire and LotusWorks). That's why I reverted it, anyway. To tell you the truth, I don't have a very firmly held opinion on it either way. jp×g 03:17, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Reverting of incorrect information on Mars Sample Return page
You recently reverted my contributions on the Mars Sample Return page and claimed that I had not adequately justified it. I had justified it, the page contained an incorrect claim that no plans exist to return samples gathered from the Mars2020. In the future, please consider fact checking in these situations before reinserting incorrect information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.115.138.140 (talk) 16:04, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The reason I reverted that is because it was taking out a source. If you found that the source said something different than the article claimed, it'd be better to just edit what the claim is (rather than remove the citation entirely). jp×g 03:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Re: Earache Records
Hi there,

Thank you very much for reviewing my edit on the Earache Records Wikipedia page. My apologies as I'm a new editor, so I just wanted to understand where my justification for deleting the section may be wrong, and whether you may reconsider allowing the deletion of the section.

I removed the Criticisms section in line with the following justifications:

-The section was placing undue attention on a negative viewpoint, and thus negates Wikipedia's Neutral Point Of View (please note that Wikipedia itself notes that sections of this type are unwarranted on such pages: "In most cases separate sections devoted to criticism, controversies, or the like should be avoided in an article because these sections call undue attention to negative viewpoints."

-The section itself is trivial and questionable in relevance with regards to Earache Records history and progress as a label - the matters mentioned do not characterise the label's work, and also veer towards criticisms of an individual rather than the business.

Other smaller justifications include: one of the references is a personal blog(, Repulsion were signed to Necrosis Records (.

Thank you for your time! SpiderPlant109 (talk) 11:22, 10 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not really qualified to say what is and isn't NPOV for this. Certainly, the references to WP:SPS sound troubling and probably ought to be taken out; however, blanking the entire section seems excessive, which is why I reverted. jp×g 03:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words at DYK, as you approved LaVon Mercer. And yep - what a story! There seems to be an under-current of anti-IP bias with some, and DYK - unfortunately - unlike the article creation process (Article Wizard), unfortunately doesn't allow a smooth method for an IP to nominate an article.

 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed.
 * You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry.
 * Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
 * The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later.
 * Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works.
 * When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
 * Octicons-tools.svg There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the  to   will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Scribunto's file metadata now includes length.
 * Octicons-tools.svg CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js.
 * Octicons-sync.svg There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).

The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter.

Careless reverting
I made an edit for a good reason, which I explained in the edit summary. You have undone that edit, and accused me of not explaining it. I see that a huge proportion of your edits are reverts, made at such a rate that you cannot possibly be checking what you are doing. If you want to undo edits, have the courtesy to look at them before you do so. 37.152.231.40 (talk) 23:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * A few thousand of my edits are recent-changes patrolling, sure; when doing this, I look at the diff for every edit on Special:Recentchanges that scores high enough on the ORES classifier (i.e. a neural network has determined them as pattern-matching more strongly to potential vandalism or error than the rest). The majority of the edits I revert don't take very long to identify as problematic, and I use a variety of tools to minimize legwork (i.e. manually navigating to users' talk pages). As for your edit, you've been repeatedly removing an entry from List of entertainers who died during a performance without an edit summary; your initial removal said that "no English article = not notable". Material in Wikipedia does not need to be referenced with specifically English-language sources (if it did, it's hard to imagine how we could write articles about things that happened in non-English-speaking countries). Since there was an inline reference in the entry you removed, I restored it. jp×g 23:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, I have not been repeatedly removing that entry. I removed it once; my edit was undone by an account used purely for disruption. You undid it a second time; I restored it a second time.
 * And you have misunderstood the edit summary which I left. You obviously did not so much as glance at what I took out. The problem was not a non-English source. The problem was that the person being mentioned does not have an article on English Wikipedia. Thus, they are not notable.
 * I was unimpressed by your careless revert. I'm even less impressed by your attempt to justify it with false claims. 37.152.231.40 (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:3RR and WP:BRD do not distinguish based on whether users are "disruptive", only whether the individual edits in question are blatant vandalism. The entry you removed was supported by an inline citation, which is enough to merit its inclusion: individual list entries do not require articles in order to justify conclusion; while many lists require notability of individual entries (WP:LISTPEOPLE), lists of people notable for one event do not, per WP:EXEMPT1E; since we are talking about a list entry and not an article this does not fall under the general WP:BIO1E guideline either. jp×g 00:17, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You should not have undone my edit; you should not have accused me of not explaining it, when I had done. Everything you are saying now is entirely beside the point. You made a mistake. You should admit it, apologise, and we all move on. 37.152.231.40 (talk) 00:46, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I undid your edit because, as I just explained, you removed content from an article that wasn't violating any guidelines by being there. If you'd like I can open an RfC. jp×g 00:57, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Once again, beside the point. If you can't even admit that you were wrong to accuse me of not explaining my edit when I clearly did so, then I do not believe you are acting in good faith. 37.152.231.40 (talk) 10:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to engage with this further. If you'd like to open an RfC, let me know, and I'll do it. jp×g 03:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Nolan Chart
I absolutely made a correct claim. Youre mentally ill Hgoldberg92 (talk) 07:20, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Your edit added "The chart is encompassed of Authoritarian Left (top left), Auth-right (top right), Libertarian Left (bottom left), and Lib-right (bottom right), with centrism in the middle of the spectrum." Given that the original form of the chart, as depicted directly next to your claim in the article, has "libertarian" at the top and "authoritarian" at the bottom, might this have belonged in a separate section about derivative charts? jp×g 07:38, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello JPxG Thanks for reverting the page. It was an intentional edit. But I soon realized that it takes lot more effort to do a good edit. I also realized that older pages were better in explaining.
