Revision in Cities
The Atmore, Alabama, page has been revised as to 09:05, 27 May 2013‎. The edit involving an attempt to add a public domain picture has been removed. Because you removed all of my edits, including plain grammatical edits in one full sweep I ask that you get permission before revising any edits. Sincerely.

Thank You
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to Uno_(game). There has been some repeated vandalism there recently and thanks for helping to clean up. Freedomlinux (talk) 07:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Edit
I was correcting someone else's vandalism. Please check your record to see that I undid their disruptive editing. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:99.235.94.72 99.235.94.72 (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Jackfork, I just thought I'd elaborate on the situation regarding the above IP (99.235.94.72). There was another IP (198.96.32.228) that was vandalizing pages and adding false user warnings to talk pages.  It added a false user warning to the talk page of 99.235.94.72 under your name.  I don't think 99.235.94.72 realized that, which is why it just made the above post on your talk page.  Anyway, I went ahead and explained the whole ordeal on the talk page of 99.235.94.72.  The other IP (198.96.32.228) has since been blocked for several days.  -- Luke4545 (talk) 01:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation of what happened and help getting the user that caused it blocked. Jackfork (talk) 03:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

FYI: American, British, etc. and different spellings
Hello there!

Noted your correction on the Bombing of Darwin article and just wanted to draw your attention to the  different spellings across differing varieties of English and the policy of internal consistency in case you were not aware of it. Indeed, "centre" is correct spelling in British and Australian English, and is the usage recommended by the Manual of Style in this case.

Happy editting and best regards! - Aprogressivist (talk) 17:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of the policy and didn't mean to change that word. Through I'm of the opinion that since en.Wikipedia is US based all articles should use the American spelling. If the subject at hand is US centered I will change all words to the American spelling if found, however if it is Great Britain or commonwealth related I don't. Thanks for the heads up of my mistake Jackfork (talk) 21:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Rollback
Hey Jack!

I have enabled rollback on your account. Just try to keep these things in mind when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! J.delanoy gabs adds 03:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.

Thanks for that. Actually, I'd just sent him a polite message thanking him for the link, which I've bookmarked. Could come in handy... (Sometimes a polite message is worse than a warning!) Peridon (talk) 20:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Stephon Marbury
Welcome to Wikipedia as well. Having been editing for quite some time now, I feel I understand how the system works but thanks for the advice. My advice to a newcomer like yourself would be to write your criticisms in a less patronizing manner. I applaud your work on all the vandalism. Cheers, Dough007 (talk) 22:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't recall reverting your edit and can't find anything wrong with anything you did on Marbury's page. I have deleted the warning from your page. The warning is generated by huggle and not something I wrote personally. Sorry for any issues that it caused. Jackfork (talk) 00:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey there, I was attempting to revert that IP with a custom edit summary, when Huggle went and reverted you redit instead... I've since reverted my own edit. Sorry! Until It Sleeps 12:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Mistake
Just thought i'd point out a mistake in one of your reverts Tresiden (talk) 13:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Someone has undone some of your work
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_Christian_School_International has been vandalized multiple times.

I looked at the article because I wanted to know more about the school, so I am certainly not qualified to edit the entry myself.

I've never gone deeper into Wikipedia than an article and its links, but the absurdity of the some of the things in the current article prompted me to look at its history. I found many edits by Wack94, who apparently has no site of his own. However, the talk link beside his name revealed that you had cleaned up after him last February and warned him against further vandalism. I hope you can do it again. Wack94's most recent entry was April 30.

Part of what Wack94 says includes a very slightly changed (and demeaning) version of the name of a person who works at the school. I have alerted the person, but doubt that person has the skills to repair the damage anytime soon.

Perhaps a link to the school's official would be the best fix until someone familiar with the school and its history can write a fresh article. I have met a few of the students and teachers. They certainly deserve better treatment than Wack94 has given them. 96.240.75.78 (talk) 05:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Stefan Dennis
That is not vandalism. It did reach number one in the UK in 1989. Please provide evidence otherwise, or stop so hastily identifying things as vandalism. Unless you were the computer who competed on Jeopardy, there is no way you would not know these things. Please stop abusing your priveliges as a Wikipedia user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.224.151 (talk) 07:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The ref is on the page showing that it was number 16. I will be happy have it changed if you can cite it. Jackfork (talk) 08:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * As an added note you have done more than enough to have your IP blocked. Which it fact it was. I have added your IP to my watch list. Anything you change or add will have to be backed up by a cited reference or I will revert it once you're unblocked. Jackfork (talk) 09:23, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Robert Venables
Why did you make an edit to the Robert Venables article and then revert it? I am mainly curious as to how you landed on the page making those edits given the millions of pages to choose from. -- PBS (talk) 09:49, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Your revert of "Robert Venables" appeared funny when I was looking on the recent changes page for some reason I don't recall. The content looked funny as well and not worded correctly on the surface.I read you explanation on the editor's talk page of why you did your revert, and see your point somewhat so I changed it back. I was impressed by your explanation why you were reverting their changes. Few go to such effort.

recent changes pages sounds interesting, please could you provide me with the link. -- PBS (talk) 11:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

The reference that you cited does not show any proof that the cause of contamination was from the flour. They guessed that it was but also said that it could have come from another source. Also Wikipedia is not your soapbox. Jackfork (talk) 01:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

CDC says its very possible. At the very least, it should be mentioned - i suggest resubmitting any way you want to. Sludge danger (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2012 (UTC) --asteroid edits

quit undoing my theories on asteroid formation......I have just as much right as any other person to inject my thoughts into society

just because someone said that is the way asteroids formed, does not make it so, no one was there when it happened and quite frankly, the old theories dont make as much sense as does molten lava coming from a broken up planet as it moves from its orbit

the vacuum forces at work on molten lava will force any liquid into the smallest ball it can...much like what happened to the earth as it careened its way into it's final orbital state

continental drift makes a lot more sense when you look at it this way....put all the continents back in their starting place and remove the water ...you will see half the planetary mass, missing

or I can continue to undo all your undos ....I have plenty of ways to use different ips....and I will stand firmly on this — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.22.127.84 (talk) 07:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

MGM-52 Lance Edits regarding potential copyright issue
An Issue you are involved in, regarding the MGM-52 Lance Article is taking place on that Article's Talk Page. Several Users have repeatedly removed the section "Operators" with the assertion that it contains copyrighted material. Several Users, including myself have just reverted the edits on that Page. I am opening a discussion on that Article's Talk Page in the hopes that a consensus can be reached and the constant reverting can be ended. I am notifying all of the editors involved in the hopes that the problem can be discussed there and a satisfactory conclusion can be reached. King of Nothing (talk) 03:40, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Stop trolling the Male Contraceptive page!
Jackfork,

I removed the reference to animal castration from the Male Contraceptive page because it is irrelevant to the article. The Male Contraceptive page refers to HUMAN contraceptive methods. Please discontinue your vandalism of the Male Contraceptive page. Wikipedia is a source of information that anyone can edit. I'm sure you can see the logic in excluding animal castration from the Male Contraceptive page.

In addition, I also referred to a few other methods that were not included, including the Tantric practice of flexing pelvic muscles, as well as ovulation awareness.

By removing contributions to the articles, you are working against the mission of Wikipedia. If you are interested in citing sources, I suggest that you Google the facts, instead of vandalizing the page. Thank you.

Here is a link to the tantric method of ejaculation control using the PC muscle. http://www.tantracourse.com/articles_01.html

This was my first time editing a Wikipedia article, and you have made it very unpleasant. It is not your place to suppress knowledge on this website. If an assertion is not cited, I understand that there is a way to flag it as such. You should not be vandalizing the page by removing the contributions. That would be working against the purpose of Wikipedia.

Why did you revert my change
"Storm surge flooded in for a kilometer from the coast. Near the shore there were huge waves."

In many journal articles I have seen it mentioned that the storm surge came in one kilometer from the coast. Obviously we can clean up the wording later but for now it is important to capture the main facts. Many articles have described the storm surge a like a tsunami.

From, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24887746

Philippine Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said the scale of the relief operation that was now required was overwhelming, with some places described as a wasteland of mud and debris.

"From a helicopter, you can see the extent of devastation. From the shore and moving a kilometre inland, there are no structures standing. It was like a tsunami," he told Reuters.

Thepigdog (talk) 12:05, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Your change was poorly written, and didn't add anything not already in the article. Plus you deleted a good bit to add it. Jackfork (talk) 12:09, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

No I deleted nothing to add it. It was just a new paragraph. How would you like to word it? Obviously that was not the final wording. You dont consider it significant that storm surge devastated one kilometer from the coast? I bet if you had been there you would have;)

Thepigdog (talk) 12:16, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

You may of not meant to delete anything but you did. You also need to add references when you add to a article. Jackfork (talk) 12:25, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Catholicism Revert
You reverted my edit on the Catholicism web page. Clearly you felt it was vandalism, however it was NOT vandalism. Catholics have no authority of the Priesthood. They claim it through the succession of Peter. Peter was not a pope and the word "Pope" means father. The Bible clearly teaches we are not to call anyone our father (this obviously doesn't include our earthly Father, but includes those in a religion). We have a Heavenly Father. Read Matthew 23:9

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Catholics violate this teaching of the Bible. Second, Peter was married (see Matthew 8:14).

14 ¶And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.

Popes are not married, so Peter was not a Pope. You had no right to revert what I wrote, because what I wrote was truth. You are calling truth from these scriptures in the Bible vandalism? Clearly YOU are wrong. Please put the edit back into the article since I have provided Biblical proof that I am correct.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Justin Snyder

Hello, I've mentioned your edit to this article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thailand. Graham 87 10:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

I was partly correct in deleting the Bueng Kan link as it went to the Bueng Kan township and not the province link as it should have. At the time I didn't know that there were two Bueng Kan's. That plus the poor grammar is why I deleted the change. I have since changed the link to the correct site and corrected the comma's and spacing.
