Newcomer's guide
Hi there! We've all been slowly adding to WP:The End and now it's becoming quite long. It occured to me the other day that we might be able to split it into a guide instead of a single page with the same down-to-earth language and helpfulness. I've started a prototype, please check it out and let me know if it's worth doing.--v/r - TP 16:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Hello Pelidarbelaez, and welcome to Wikipedia. No bother at all, glad to clarify the rationale for the deletion. Perhaps you missed the link provided in my edit summary of the revert, to No Original Research. Please take a moment to read at least the "page in a nutshell" box and the opening paragraph of that page. I think it will become clear why your edits were reverted (note that User:Allens reverted your second attempt to include the content presumably for the same reason). No big deal, we've all been newcomers to Wikipedia at some point, and the policies and guidelines do take a little time to become familiar with. I hope you'll continue editing WP and find the experience enjoyable. This page might be helpful in explaining WP's basic guidelines in "bite size" wording. Hope this has been helpful and has adequately answered your query.--JayJasper (talk) 19:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

67.134.35.66 (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)"Forward" Slogan
There is repubatle evidence to support such a claim that was made in my post. You cannot simply delete information that is true and relevant to the topic.
 * You were in violation of WP:3RR and needed to discuss the issue on the article's talk page instead of edit warring. There is already a discussion thread there as to whether or not a mention of the perceived socialist/communist connotation is in line with WP's policy of due weight. FWIW, I argued for a brief mention of it (albeit in more neutral and encyclopedic wording than what you were inserting) but consensus has not yet been established and it is a contentious issue, and edit warring is strictly prohibited on Wikipedia (see also WP:BRD).--JayJasper (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Still need reviews for the Wikipedia Education Program research project
Hi, JayJasper! Thank you so much for reviewing some articles for the Wikipedia Education Program research project! The results of this project are vital for planning the coming semester in the program, and we'd like to review as many classes as possible in the next week.

I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate further by reviewing a few more articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. We are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.

Here is the list of priority articles if you're interested in helping out. Thanks so much for your consideration! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:38, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

You don't know me...
...but I have a task that you just may be well suited for. Voter turnout in the United States presidential elections was dropped on my door step as being very problematic, single source, and unreliable.

It would appear the subject matter is notable and a very worthwhile project, but the current version is unacceptable. Is this something you would consider putting on your "to do" list?

Thomas Jefferson archiving.
Is there any particular reason why you removed Clue Bot and replaced it with Misza at Thomas Jefferson? I changed to Clue Bot awhile back because Misza stopped archiving the page. Brad (talk) 06:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on my recent observations, MiszaBot has generally been more effective than ClueBot in archiving talk pages, hence the move. However, if that is not true of this particular page, then by all means restore ClueBot.--JayJasper (talk) 17:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Both bots are having troubles of their own and they aren't being addressed. I'll see if Misza archives the TJ article before I switch back. CBIII offers options that Misza does not, which are nice when dealing with a busy page. Brad (talk) 21:53, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Editing Cheri Honkala
I am currently extensively editing the Cheri Honkala article. You have deleted a section that I was in the process of building and also put a "citation needed" where I had not yet inserted the appropriate reference. I would appreciate it if you would not continue to delete or question text until construction is completed. I have put the "Under construction" template at the top of the article to make this clear to others. Sorry I didn't do this before, but I didn't think anyone else would be working on the article. Regards. Dylanexpert (talk) 10:56, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I will refrain for the time being from making significant changes to the article while you work on it. You've done some good work there. I do, however, have one friendly crtique to offer: The "personal life" section appears to give undue weight to Honkala's son. An entire paragraph about his movie career in a bio of his mother seems excessive, especially considering that he has his won his own article where this content would be better placed.--JayJasper (talk) 18:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit on Jesse Ventura
Hi, I just put a lot of time into making a more accurate, readable, and unbiased post on Jesse Ventura's page for the "Opie and Anthony Incident," to see it reverted four minutes later. What do you mean by more encyclopedic version? I'm wondering if you actually read both and watched the video of the incident. TheStrawDog (talk) 23:24, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, StrawDog. It was not my intention to diss your effort (which was acknowledged as being in good faith), and yes, I did read both versions and watched the video. You may have noted that I have made a partial restoration of your changes. After a second look, it seemed that some of your changes were actually an improvement over the previous version and that it was overkill to revert the whole thing. So I admit I was at least partly wrong. That said, what I found "more encyclopedic" in the earlier version was that it summarized the incident without (IMO) an overly drawn-out listing of quotes from the incident. Also, the comment "the debate further devolved" sounded slightly less than NPOV, and "The so-called dirty language had started long before" seemed a bit superfluous and more conversational than formal, not in line with WP:TONE. Lastly, "asshole" is neither a proper name nor a proper noun, so it need not be capitalized. I hope the partial restoration of your changes is an agreeable compromise to you. If not, feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page to get input from other editors and reach a consensus. At any rate, thanks for contacting me to discuss this, and please continue your good faith efforts to improve Wikipedia. Regards--JayJasper (talk) 04:56, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, JayJasper, Thanks for replying and revisiting the post. True, it was heavy with quotes. I wanted to demonstrate that Ventura's reaction had context. I like the changes you made. You're right, I was thinking the swears were to be capitalized like names, so thanks for correcting that.

I don't like the word "angrily" in there because it seemed to suggest this was the first angry comment. Same reason I included the note about dirty language - it seemed an absurd statement from Norton, considering the storm he was cursing up earlier, and if you didn't see the actual conversation you would think it had merit.

I've also noticed that the previous entry, Navy Seal Accusations, implies some things about SEALS and Ventura that look quite biased - it's hard to tell where the writer is interjecting his own opinion and not Bill Salisbury's. He also wraps it up in a way that seems to imply that Ventura isn't officially a SEAL, which is false. I'm inclined to fix that, too. Or, if you are up to it, I'd be happier to see you address it.

Thanks, 76.126.104.12 (talk) 05:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I looked again. It still doesn't demonstrate that Norton insulted Ventura, prompting the "asshole" remark, he didn't simply ask why he was leaving. I feel this leaves a very biased impression of what happened. TheStrawDog 76.126.104.12 (talk) 05:27, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you're overall pleased with the changes. I agree that the section needs more editing to give a more a balanced view of the events. I'll look it over and see what changes could be made to to fix the "bias" problem.--JayJasper (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've made some changes, taking your comments into account, that I hope have made it more neutral. I tried to clarify that the profanity began before Norton's aforementioned statement, and that accusations and insults were mutual. What do you think?--JayJasper (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi JayJasper, Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was expecting some sort of alert. Yes, your changes are more neutral, thank you. However, I went in again and did some edits after listening to the entire broadcast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci8ZissZfc0

Jesse doesn't really question 9/11 (though he has in other places) so I removed that. I put back in the thing about sulking off the show - because without that context, you don't know why Ventura got nasty. Please check it out. Thanks again, TheStrawDog (talk) 02:51, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello again StrawDog. Good job with the new changes. I made a few minor copyedits, but otherwise left it intact. I agree that the added context gives greater clarity and neutrality. Well done!--JayJasper (talk) 19:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, JayJasper. Good team work, I'm pleased with how it worked out. :) TheStrawDog (talk) 06:46, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contributions as well. I'm glad it worked out to the satisfaction of both of us and hopefully to the betterment of the article.--JayJasper (talk) 22:55, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi JayJasper, I'm not happy with the current state of this article. Someone called mansmokingacigar has especially been making edits that I think are destructive. The article is now sloppy and leaves out important info. Is it possible to return the section to your last edit? Thanks, TheStrawDog (talk) 01:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * To avoid edit wars, it would be best to discuss the changes with Mansmokinagcigar on his talk page and/or the Jesse Ventura talk page.-JayJasper (talk) 03:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Airplane - Dr. Barry Rumack named after chilhood friend.
Hi,

You undid my edit to the casting section of Airplane! for NOR.

There is published documentation that Dr. Barry Rumack was named after a childhood friend. It may be found at: www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/trivia

I do not know how to add a reference or a cite for this.

Also, I personally knew Dr. Barry Rumack, flew with him, and he told me this information directly.

Request for your assistance for The Wikipedia Library
Hi! You signed up to be a helper at the Highbeam project page. As The Wikipedia Library expands, I am seeking some assistants who can collaborate on project administration by spending a few hours now and then working on a variety of tasks.

Right now I am looking for help on the Questia round 1 signups, reviewing editors' applications to check for edit count (1000), account history (1 year), and current blocks. Note, there is no subjective judgment required, just a factual criteria-check. Here's what you can do:
 * 1) Sign up for a section of 50 applications at this page
 * 2) The first check involves using Popups (enabled in Special:Preferences -> click "Gadgets", check the box to enable Popups, then click save).
 * 3) By hovering over a username on the applications list, Popups will show the edit count, age of account, and whether the editor is blocked on English Wikipedia
 * 4) If an editor is blocked, list their name at this page
 * 5) If an editor does not meet the 1-year/1000 editor check using Popups, open their user talk page in a new tab in your browser.
 * 6) Then, you then need to check if the editor meets the criteria on another Wikipedia language project.
 * 7) To check global contributions use the Global Contributions surveyor] on toolserver.
 * 8) Toolserver is a bit slow so I find it helpful to have 3 tabs running simultaneously.
 * 9) Scroll down to the bottom of the toolserver results to see if 1000 edits or 1-year age of accounted are met at another project.  You can also see if the editor is blocked on another project.
 * 10) If neither Popups nor the Global Contribution Surveyor met the criteria, then list their name at [less than 1000 edits, or less than 1 year old account|this page]
 * 11) Mark your section ✅ at this page

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much! -- User:Ocaasi 19:50, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Jasper. The fellow engages in political satire and it should be recorded for people who look him up. If you have specific concerns or requests for better references (can be found found all over) please note here or my talk page and I will try to address with my next undo of your deletion of my conributions.

Hey Jay, if you can have some comments to say why you think I am incorrect I would appreciate it. You have flagged me for having an 'edit war?' You guys are undoing my stuff..not the other way around.

Don't make me learn wikipedia for the sake of preserving my comment. I will and I'll be looking for YOU.
 * You made an unsourced contentious assertion on a bio of a living person. This is a violation of WP:BLP as well as WP:V & WP:NOR (all of which I linked for you in the edit summaries). You are also in violation of WP:3RR.--JayJasper (talk) 19:54, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

So then will I be correct to edit the page and attribute him as a satirist with links to his youtube displays as such...so long as I wait 24 hours? This is wha the man does for his living..I'm sure he's actually proud and will own it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.69.9 (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * YouTube is not not considered a reliable source in itself by Wikipedia standards. Schiff is not commonly identified as a satirist, so you will need secondary sources that idea that identify him as such to support such a claim, which may not suitable for the lead section even if reliably sourced (see WP:LEAD & WP:DUE). It would be best to discuss it on the Schiff article talk page (just click the "new section" tab in the upper hand side to start a thread) and get a consensus before making the change, as it is likely to be challenged.--JayJasper (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Tag
Hi,

You tagged some info I posted about Gary Johnson's stance on campaign finance as coming from an "unreliable source."

I found this strange -- the source was from Gary Johnson himself, in an "Ask Me Anything" segment on the popular website Reddit.com.

Here is the intro to his "Ask Me Anything" session, where he introduces himself: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/zq0ow/i_am_gov_gary_johnson_the_libertarian_candidate/

...with a link to a tweet posted from his verified Twitter account confirming that it was indeed the real Gary Johnson participating: https://twitter.com/GovGaryJohnson/status/245597958253445120

Anyway, I don't mean to make a big deal of this, but this was only my third or fourth time ever posting on Wikipedia, and it was annoying to me to, after having spent a decent amount of time figuring out how to format everything correctly (I haven't updated an article in a couple of years), see that the information I had posted had been deemed as coming from an "unreliable" source.

Happy to discuss this further, I'm sure you meant well, but I wanted you to know that the information I had posted was from one of the most reliable & direct sources in existence! Thanks for reading. Yamyamma (talk) 07:07, 13 September 2012 (UTC)YamYamma
 * Hi, Yamyamma,

Didn't mean to annoy you by tagging the citation you placed, I did so because social network/news sites like Reddit.com where content is largely user-generated are considered primary sources and not reliable sources in themselves by Wikipedia's standards. Please note that I did not revert the info you posted, and that the tag I placed has a question mark following "unreliable source". So my intent was not to "deem" your source as unreliable so much it was to raise a question about whether it met the reliabilty threshold per Wikipedia's standards & guidelines. The guidelines do allow for exceptions in which the use of such primary sources is acceptable, but it was unclear to me whether this was such a case, so I marked it as a "heads up" to the reader.

I see you've removed the tag, and I will not replace it as you've made a good argument for ignoring all the rules. If you continue to contribute to Wikipedia, which I hope you will, remember not to take it personally if your contributions are changed/tagged/reverted, etc. Just assume good faith on the part of the editor(s) making the change(s) and discuss the issue with them in a civil manner. Which is exactly what you did this time, and for that I thank you. Regards.--JayJasper (talk) 17:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Oct 3 presidential debate
You do not agree that the paragraphs critical of Romney's performance are needed to balance the paragraphs critical of Obama's performance? They were well-sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelmalak (talk • contribs) 19:36, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * While your contributions were undoubtedly made in good faith, one problem with the paragraphs I removed is that two of them were based on analyses by media pundits but were presented as factual. This was particularly true of the "framing" statement (not to mention that "framing" was only mentioned once towards the end of the article that was cited). Also, taking WP:WEIGHT into consideration, it does not appear that criticism of Romney's debate performance is nearly as prolific or prominent in the media as that of Obama's. Balance is fine, but if there are 100's (or more) articles critical of Obama's performance compared to a relatively small handful of those critiquing Romney's and we present it in the article as if the volume of criticism of each candidate was more or less even, then we are not properly applying WP:NPOV. Please note that I have added content to the article about the fact-checking which notes that Obama was found to be slightly more truthful in his statements than was Romney. Hope this helps to clear things up, but feel free to contact me if it does not, or if you feel I am missing something. I'd be glad to work with you in editing the debate article.

 * I more or less with Beeblebox's assessement of the afd discussion. There seemed to be a consensus that there is a place on Wikipedia for such an article (such as the 2008 version), but that this particular version was not up to wiki's standards and required too much cleanup before it could pass muster. That being the case, it would probably be worthwhile to work to improve it, especially with input from other editors, particularly experienced ones. I recommend placing a notice - with a link to your draft version - requesting feedback, suggestions and editing help, on the following talk pages: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States presidential elections; Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics; Talk:United States presidential election, 2012,  I hope this proves to be helpful.

Jay, thanks for the very nice comment on my talk page. I'm not sure how active you are with WikiProject United States presidential elections, but if this is an area where you have quite a bit of knowledge, as I suspect you might, you may want to take a look at this talk page discussion about rounding percentages at United States presidential election, 2012 (and all other election articles).

I reverted your edit here because this ref given in the article says December 10. Is there some other conflicting ref your looking at? Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * OK, so I decided to look in to this further and found this. Not only does it list the date of his birth as the 12th instead of the 10th, but the year as 1804 not 1805! Isn't that annoying. The year on his gravestone says 1805 from the ref you gave. I propose we leave the date the 10th and the year 1805 and put a copy of this conversation on the talk page.
