User talk:Jaguar/Archive 9

Hi Jaguar!
I looked at your picture, went to the wrong talk page, and saw no messages, so I presumed you were new.

My apologies. I am a bit absent minded at times. Please delete the nonsense from your picture page, and transfer the Gong, to the right page. I you chose.

I'm glad you got the message.

 * Don't worry, I understand. I feel the same way too. I have been away from Wikipedia for a while myself I forgotten how some things eork too! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:00, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Flow testing
Hey Jaguar :). As mentioned on the Wikiproject Hampshire talkpage, we've opened Flow up for community testing. I'd be really grateful if you could hammer on the system (if you haven't already!), let me know any bugs you find, and leave a note at the 'first release' page explaining what you, as a member of Wikiproject Hampshire, would need to see to be okay with it being deployed on that wikiproject's talkpage.

Thanks in advance! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 19:25, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Chinese stubs
I'm very sorry about that. Obviously I was being over-suspicious. Thanks for not taking offence. BTW, if anything was deleted that you think needs to be restored, let me know. Deb (talk) 09:48, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Your Chinese stubs
The references are all the same and say nothing about the subject. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:02, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * So, Jaguar.
 * Early in 2012 you got in trouble for mass creation of geographical microstub articles which had no encyclopædic value whatsoever; other editors had to work hard to clean up the mess. Then you swept it under the carpet, and "retired" complaining about how everybody was mean to you. Then you came back and started producing lots more shitty sub-stubs which required a great deal of adult supervision. Then you backed off again and said your "stub creating days are over".
 * Then you restarted production, including crap like Fond Gens Libres (14°29'0"N 60°5'0"W). Again, there were problems with sourcing and notability, across the board. Then Dr Blofeld encouraged you to create a list of Swedish village microstubs, and those had the same problem, because again you didn't actually understand the subject or read sources, instead and creating articles off a list. All along the way, there has been feedback from other editors highlighting problems with your mass-produced content.
 * More recently, I'm glad you have diversified into other work. For instance, assessing articles written by other people; I see you assessed Wiltshire County FA Senior Cup as B-class even though the only prose is in the lede, it doesn't cover much of the topic, it has no independent source, and half of the sections are just empty placeholders.
 * And now, despite multiple warnings and multiple editors having to clean up the mess in the past, you're back to copy-and-pasting microstubs on Chinese villages, only using one crappy directory which is in a language that you can't read. You seem to be copy and pasting off the list you used before, since that source is dated "Retrieved 18 August 2011". That cargo-cult attempt at sourcing doesn't actually support what you're putting in the articles.
 * You've demonstrated that you can edit very many articles and accumulate a large edit count. However, that's a Bad Thing, not a Good Thing, as long as your editing needs adult supervision, most of it gets deleted, and there is no effort to correct the underlying problems that others point out. What, exactly, would it take for you to change direction and work competently rather than quickly? bobrayner (talk) 21:11, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi bobrayner, I will answer your questions. First of all, last night I had created these Chinese articles for 'testing' (not in that bad way), I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing my re-jogging my memory because in the future I plan to move onto creating some other higher quality stubs at a slower rate (but definitely not China). The second link you put (the one where it said I 'swept it all under the carpet') was me archiving my talk page as it was getting too cluttered? Also, I retired in May 2012 not because "everyone was mean" it was because I couldn't take a lot of the crap I was getting, and felt that I could no longer contribute without five different people scrutinising me. The only reason why I returned to Wikipedia was because of a few good people who emailed me encouraged me to come back and return to editing. And what does 'adult supervision' mean? I'm not a child?
 * You can be assured that right now I am not going back to China - I have no plans to recreate the 10,000 articles I once had unless I regain everyone's trust. Right now I'm looking for sources to the ten or so articles I created last night - I have already sourced a few. Thank you for your concerns, I am beginning to work slower. Regards ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Nanloudi Township
He Jaguar, I had a look at Nanloudi Township, and it is weird: the title doesn't correspond to the subject; the article has no link to its chinese interwiki (which is important to avoid duplicates; especially with different translations needed); you accessed the reference in 2011 (not in 2013) and the reference is not a reliable source. This is even after you edited the page with a correction…. Is it possibly you were going a bit too fast to see what was happening? L.tak (talk) 18:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I checked: zh:南娄底乡 exists; would that be the appropriate wikilink. What I saw there is links to the Chinese bureau of statistics; which would be reliable sources… Unfortunately they are dead links; and I could't find a correct link. Maybe you have more luck… L.tak (talk) 18:43, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that is strange. I don't understand how the title is wrong as every page I put in its title and the dead links I will check over and repair them now. 2011 was the good year when I started creating the articles, but I'm confused why it's in a 2013 article - I'll go over them and fix them thanks for pointing it out. ☠  Jag  uar  ☠ 21:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Copy and pasting into each article is a sure sign that mass-creation of articles has taken precedence over actually understanding what you are writing about. Similarly, copy and pasting a source which doesn't actually mention the subject looks like an obvious attempt to cheat WP:V. Why do you keep on doing this? bobrayner (talk) 21:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for solving the first part, but the problem remains you are not adding a reliable source; and didn't answer if the interlanguage link I identified was appropriate...Especially the link from the reliable source is important, because otherwise we have no idea to see if this is bogus-township or not.... Also: how did you do the translation from 南娄底乡to Nanloudi Township? L.tak (talk) 21:38, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I am looking for a new source now as I have already sourced a few. I'm having a hard time finding sources for Aungo the 'Medicine capital', however I'm still looking. I will find something for them. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:51, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you give me an example of an article of your recent Chinese stubs that you sourced with a reliable source? I until now could only find Xzqh.org, which I don't consider one.... L.tak (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, this is one of them that I found that lists every settlement in the Hebei Province - Xzqh.org is the only valuable source I can find so far. It was the only thing I had used. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 22:01, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see that as much of a reliable source; but then: my Chinese is not that good…. But this discussion seems mute now the article is deleted, so let's leave it at that…. L.tak (talk) 14:54, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Deja Vu
Hi Jaguar. Stop me if you've heard this before. Please, please stop creating Chinese township stubs until you understand the language and geography of China! The references I have checked don't contain any reference whatsoever, you are not transliterating the Chinese names, etc ... A lot of people spent a lot of time clearing up after your last foray into this area and I really don't want that to have to happen again. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 08:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, I agree that I am going to stop making them now, in fact the ten I made the other night was just so I could get used to things again. I spent a while trying to clean up errors but sadly I cannot find any references that refers to the Anguo district, so perhaps those ones may be better off deleted. I feel ashamed. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 13:05, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Your new China stubs
Hi Jaguar,

the references on your new Chinese stubs mostly seem to go to the same page, about one of the places. Also, they lack interwiki links etc. Given your obvious lack of WP:COMPETENCE and your lack of progress since last year, I am going to simply delete all of them before people waste more time cleaning up your errors. Happy editing, —Kusma (t·c) 12:58, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I see. I thought I had improved those articles but given the fact I can't find a proper reference for some of them then perhaps a few of them should be deleted... ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 13:07, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I deleted all of your recent ones. Many of them were about places in Baoding, but referenced a page about Xinshi instead (I can read Chinese if I have to, so I can see your references were cut and pasted nonsense). Also, you claimed that you last accessed the references in 2011, which I find strange. Please learn Chinese before you try to work on places in China again. —Kusma (t·c) 13:11, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I also deleted those from July. Do you have any more stubs that need to be deleted? —Kusma (t·c) 13:15, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think any more needs deleting. Did you mean July last year or this year? I honestly can't remember when last created some... I first started creating Chinese stubs in 2011, so that must have been when I accessed the reference. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 14:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I mean this year. Your stubs from last July (those few that haven't been deleted) all seem to have been fixed by a couple of people who can read Chinese (for example, I seem to have edited most of them). —Kusma (t·c) 15:10, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand, thanks for doing this. Would this mean that all my edits would have been deleted along with the articles or do they still count? ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 13:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Your edits are counted as "deleted edits" (sorry, I don't remember where you can access that number as a non-admin, maybe in Preferences?). —Kusma (t·c) 13:29, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * This includes deleted edits. bobrayner (talk) 14:30, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have around 9,000 deleted edits. That's quite depressing. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:27, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I saw your edits on Bentworth recently, I thought the old colonel had been up to his usual tricks!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:55, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Haha he has been! And I think I actually might have seen him the other day in real life... well at least he has stopped editing Bentworth recently, that makes me happy! I missed a lot of people here (but not Colonel Ukiws), that's why I came back! Thank you and Merry Christmas Dr, ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 20:02, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

LOL, I always picture Victor Meldrew for some reason... Any chance you could GA review The Dorchester for me?♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * LOL, that's a perfect stereotype! The Dorchester looks like a good article, I'll have a read through it tonight and a proper look through it tomorrow, I'll be happy to review it. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 20:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to butt in, but as we have mutual aquaintances I should point out that the fellow is in fact a retired Wing Commander. Good luck with the FA -- give me a shout if you need any better photos and I can zip over there (that one of Hall Place is a bit dark, for example). Ericoides (talk) 06:02, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Ericoides, yes I too have mutual acquaintances and knew he was a retired Wing Commander! I'm interested in getting Bentworth to FA, and if need be I could go out any time and take pictures, but the problem is that I don't have a working camera (I got a 5 megapix phone though). These past few days have been very nice, so we could make the most out of the clear skies! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, you can reserve it here and review it whenever the hell you feel like hehe! I don't be-lieeeveee it!!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:23, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll have a quick read through tonight and will leave some comments tomorrow. It looks very well-written! What don't you believe? Aha :) ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 20:48, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I've addressed all points except the currency converter which didn't work.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking more about getting one or two of the other villages up to GA status. I don't think Bentworth is polished enough especially in the history/geography to be FA worthy. It is very comprehensive though.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits to Wells Cathedral however I have just removed the link you added to Salisbury Cathedral which I had just previously removed as it was already linked earlier in the article and a reviewer at Featured article candidates/Wells Cathedral/archive1 had commented about the overlinking.&mdash; Rod talk 17:07, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your edits to Wells Cathedral, however please take a look at the long discussions on the talk page and at Featured article candidates/Wells Cathedral/archive1 before resizing the images etc (Tate v Tate gallery is also discussed).

Closing GANs
So I've noticed that you have been promoting articles to GA status but have not properly closed their reviews. I myself had to update the talk page to Voyager (video game) because of that.

I know! I added the citation tag myself because it looks like OR. The lead doesn't need sourcing either. It now looks stubby and flawed, rather than seeming like a half decent summary of what info seems to exist on the web. It has been researched more than some of their other articles, it just happens to contain less content because info on it is so sparse. If I didn't think it was an adequate summary of a very obscure plant species I'd not have nominated it. I think it's pretty informative given the circumstances. Obviously I could pick a very prominent genus or something and write a 100kb article. It's amusing to be lectured on length when 98% of their articles are one liners! They continue to moan about the length but still nobody has shown me a single missing source which contains any real information about it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:31, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It's very sad to see the article to be reduced like this! I don't know much about flora to be honest, but when I reviewed the article the prose and references were in excellent standing. If it's a content issue then someone is more than welcome to submit Tephrosia apollinea for a reassessment. The article is still very informative but the way it looks now doesn't look as good as when you nominated it. I have reviewed a lot of GA articles now and as a reviewer I think that length should never be a issue - some of the shortest GA articles are under 400 words in length (there is a list of the shortest GA articles somewhere but I can't remember how to find it). Just as long as it is written well and it is informative it should easily pass the GAN. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 16:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's the list of very short Featured Articles. This proves that length isn't really a problem! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 16:47, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I managed to find scraps on JSTOR which have fleshed it out a bit. It needs cleanup and the JSTOR journal sources formatted now. I still stand by the original as acceptable for GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:07, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I know you're perfectly capable of conducting a decent GA review and I have no reservations about you reviewing future articles. It's best though not to proclaim things like "world's fastest review" as it's likely to attract unwanted attention. I think though the snobs at WP:Plants would have turned their noses up at it even if your review was 20 kb long.. I now have the books on the Ritz and Waldorf, a little daunting how much I need to read and do..♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:50, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * At the time I had no idea this article would attract so much attention and scrutiny - I though it was just a quiet little article about a species of plant that barely anyone would know about. You'll have to excuse the "world's fastest review" as that was just a random outbreak of witty humour I sometimes have. My god, is that discussion still going!? The article met the GA criteria and I can't say to them enough times that it was the only quick-pass I have ever done. This could be looking very bad on me as they might think my reviews aren't either long enough or don't have good content in them. I'm on and off Wikipedia at the moment as I've been very busy on this half-term. I want to join in the discussion but I don't have the time as I have six GARs to do!! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:20, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

If it means anything I've contacted a few very experienced editors who can't see what all the fuss is about with it being a GA either, so it's not an error in judgement at least in the eyes of experienced non project reviewers, although I don't think anybody would encourage a straight pass. The reviews are supposed to be constructive and see the article improve. You weren't to blame for it as it was a short article and you obviously couldn't see anything to complain about. I hope this won't deter you from future articles and reviews, although of course I hope you can provide half a dozen or so pointers at least, although it might be difficult at times! What's annoying is that they continue to moan about it being inadequate yet none of them can show the sources and back up their claims! ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:39, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that. Yes I agree that because I didn't know much about the contnet I found it nearly impossible to spot errors or points to make with that short (at the time article). I always to my best to try and make as many points as I can, but with Tephrosia apollinea I tried to find some points but couldn't find any. The prose was good and it complied per the GA criteria. I still review GANs of course - I have about five left to do at the moment. It's annoying that this has come under so much scrutiny, this is just bad luck. The article does look good now and very extensive - want to nominate for FA? ;-D ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:19, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I've definitely exceeded what is really required for GA now, yup. However much I expand and improve it though I would be very surprised if a single project member would stand up and say "nice job" in expanding it. They're just waiting to point out errors and remove things.. I've reached page 27 of the web now, I rarely go beyond page 2 in web searching!♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I know, life's full of people like that. You have done an impeccable job on the article - it is beyond GA! It's impressive for an article like that to be so extensive when there is barely any information on the web describing a species of plant. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Well, at least now they can't call an almost 27kb article a "stub"!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:00, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Miley Cyrus
I wanted to inform you that the article, Miley Cyrus, you promoted to GA status is now a FA nominee. I would like it if you would review it. As I know that you haven't really promoted a lot of FA's, you could review it or put me in touch with another FA promoting user. Thanks, Shane Cyrus (talk) 11:45, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. No doubt other people will come and review the FAC as Miley Cyrus is a popular article on Wikipedia. I'll review the FAC, although I don't have a lot of experiences with the FA process yet (I've helped promote two and reviewed one). Thanks, ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 14:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * 'Hey Jaguar', please do review the Miley Cyrus FA nomination. Do consider this as it isn't getting much attention. Some people have commented but are haters. You know what I mean? They do not review or promote it, instead they give the suggestions as oppose or withdrawal issues. Thanks a looooot..... Shane Cyrus (talk) 12:29, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll start reviewing the FAC right away. Yes I understand what most of the people at the FAC's are like - the majority of them are very smarmy - they do nothing but criticise and suggest closure rather than offering helpful comments and actually help getting the article promoted. It's surprising as Miley Cyrus is a very popular article on Wikipedia, I would have thought this would get more attention! Don't worry, I'll start the review now. I want to say well done on all your work to the article and thank you for those barnstars!! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Don't know why people don't know to not show their hate for someone on Wikipedia! Shane Cyrus (talk) 05:42, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * , I've just read through the article and its FAC's comments - I'm afraid I can't support this until some of those references have been replaced. If I support this now then I might get a huge backfire from some people at the FAC! Maybe Lady Lotus can help with some of the sourcing? But the majority of the prose is good, if I get some time later today I can help with a few things here and there but I might lose internet connection any moment! Thank you, ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:12, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

GA nominations
Hello! I accidentally found my way on the GA nomination page for Benedict Cumberbatch and I enjoyed editing the article based on your suggestions. I do wonder how I can monitor such nomination pages so I can help in the nomination process of certain articles? I would like to help. Thank you!Chocolate Charlie (talk) 06:16, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for attending to those suggestions! I'll review the GAN in a minute to see if that article meets the GA criteria. You can add certain pages to your watchlist, so that will allow you to monitor the articles you want. The page WP:GAN shows all of the GA nominations - you can have a look through there to see what you're interested in. But the GA process is a whole different story... if you have any questions feel free to ask! Regards ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you so much!! I haven't got a barnstar in a while. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:28, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Bieber
Can you check back on the Bieber GA and suggest what still needs improvement. Thanks, Shane Cyrus (talk) 11:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have, we'll wait for Snuggums to make the comments and once you address them I'll have to make sure the article meets the GA criteria. This is turning into a bit of a nightmare! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:06, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Thank you so much for those articles, Thibbs. I'll implement them into the article now and hopefully it should pass the GAN! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 11:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Martin Miller (actor, born 1899)
Hi, you may want to review this. He's a minor character actor so there's next to nothing really written about him. I'm lucky to have written that much about him! It's about as comprehensive as I can make it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:35, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, I can review it straight away. The content looks good and like you said, it is as comprehensive as it can be! I'll make a thorough review. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 14:28, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
