White flight/segregation academies needing work
Tipton-Rosemark Academy is largely a copyvio of an old school website (here). It's a big whitewash as well, as it plays a bogus "prayer in schools" story to explain why an all-white group of parents established an all-white school as the public schools integrated. A lot of work could be done here. Content needs to be updated for truth & pov/independence, sources need to be added, and copyright violations need to be removed/revdel'ed. Former names include Tipton Academy and Rosemark Academy. — Jacona (talk) 14:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Lost-cause terminology in Wikipedia: Antebellum
There are a number of articles that use the term "antebellum", a romanticized latin phrase, to describe places, times, people or events that occurred in the United States before the American Civil War. One particularly annoying instance is Antebellum United States, which redirects to Antebellum South, as if the pre-Civil War history of the entire United States was that of the South. That's pretty nasty. — Jacona (talk) 18:57, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

I have a problem.
This unsigned user 141.136.148.235 keeps deleting important page links on An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster and I think it’s the same unsigned user 89.164.105.189 that deleted the page links for no reasons. Would you please talk some sense into this user so he/she would stop? Thank you. Retrosunshine2006 talk 22:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Henry James Cambie Secondary School / citing newpapapers.com
Hi Jacona, I have limited time today to work on Henry James Cambie Secondary School, and I restored your work from Oct. 17. I also repaired the links to articles on newpapers.com, as linking to the WPLibrary clippings has problems for viewers who cannot login to WPLibrary. See the discussion here for how to convert the links. It's clunky and painful, and there are rumors that a bot may be in the works to do the conversions, but for now it's a manual correction.

The shared history of Richmond HS and HJ Cambie until 1953 complicates the narratives for each article. I haven't figured out how to address it, so any suggestions you have would be welcome. Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 16:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Grand'mere Eugene, I appreciate your help! Unfortunately I’m very tired right now, taking care of someone else. I’m sure a good bit of my earlier work is fine, I just don’t have the energy right now. I have seen someone changing the newspapers.com links with a bot, I’ve been meaning to get it-it requires some configuration. If I see it again I’ll share the link. Thanks! — Jacona (talk) 19:11, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Grand'mere Eugene, JWB is the tool I've seen others use to repair the newspapers.com links. I haven't tried it yet. — Jacona (talk) 23:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

copyvio-revdel template
Thanks for flagging up the long-standing copyvio on Christian Academy of Madison. You seem to have got a bit confused with copyvio-revdel (not surprising, it's not the easiest to work out) but for future use,

the parameters starting urlX are for recording where the offending material was copied from (in this case  ).

The parameters start and end are for identifying the revisions that need to be revdel'd. These only need to be numbers, not urls, so start here was  and not.

end should be the last revision before the final bit of offending material was removed. So if you removed it all in one go don't include you own edit. If it took several edits to remove it all, don't include you last edit in that series. In this case that would have been. It doesn't actually matter if you do include that edit as most of us handling the request know what to look for and can easily unselect that last edit if needs be. Nthep (talk) 12:57, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Nthep, thanks, I really struggle with that template. On my browser (Firefox) the words start and end for the diffs appear-but there is no area that appears enterable. I’ll try moving to another browser next time. Thanks!! — Jacona (talk) 13:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Nthep, I really, really appreciate this explanation! — Jacona (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * no problem. There's a script you can install (User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js) which helps you out on filling out the template. Nthep (talk) 14:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Reverted changes on the Serpent(Instrument) Page
I am confused why you have removed the revisions that I have made to the serpent page. All revisions that I have made were well thought about before publishing and are all true. They were removed within minutes of me adding them. It almost seems like you didn't even check before removing the changes. KaidenJ.Bos (talk) 19:06, 5 December 2023 (UTC)


 * KaidenJ.Bos you may want to read WP:CRUFT - essentially, trivia and other collections of fun facts aren't really suitable content for an encyclopedia. Sungodtemple (talk &#8226; contribs) 19:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Those are examples of the serpent being used within pop culture and film. Therefore I would not consider them "fun facts". So  "The prop used for the titular horn in the 1956 British film The Case of the Mukkinese Battle-Horn was based on a serpent." should not be on there as well as it technically is trivia.

High School notability discussion
Hi. My deletion nomination for Heritage High School (Brentwood, California) was reverted, citing WP:NEXIST by you. At the same time, my draft for a non-American high school Draft:İstiklal_Makzume_Anadolu_Lisesi was declined for the second time due to WP:GNG by another editor. The draft looks much stronger to me in terms of demonstrated notability, compared to the page in PROD. I got a feeling these decisions are not consistent and hurting Wikipedia's neutrality, by over-representing high schools with certain characteristics, e.g. English-speaking countries. If it is this difficult to prove notability, should we at least add something like "notability disputed" for Heritage High School? Gorkem80 (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Domtar
hey.I hope you are doing well.I saw you deleting my edits in the page of domtar.I provided the reference for them and it clearly proves domtar is privately held company owned by Paper Excellence Group and it operates as an independent stand alone subsidiary with the current management team. I can provide more references if you want.

I wanna hear your reason of why you deleted those edits. 91.184.121.52 (talk) 13:54, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Port Tampa Negro School
Hi, Jacona! Totally irrelevant to my purpose here, but I like what you do here at Wikipedia. (I'm just a newb, but I still like it!)

If you aren't doing so already, would you be willing to track down the beginnings and early history of Port Tampa Negro School? I'm working through a backlog and that's how I came across the article. If it weren't for the backlog, I'd do it myself. If it weren't a pre-segregation black school, I'd just ignore the issue. But these schools matter, and you can bet your paycheck that every cotton forced-labor farm in Leon county, Florida gets its story told here.

I'm NOT trying to pretend to have any Wikipedia authority. I'm just a small Wikier, but you seem like someone any decent, respectful person could approach.Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Not trying to be a jerk, but I added a notability tag because I couldn't find reference to it, beyond what you had listed. No in-depth analysis of it. Poor baby needs more attention than I can give it. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
