A topic of interest to you is covered by discretionary sanctions under an Arbcom case
The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose, at their own discretion, sanctions on any editor working on pages broadly related to Shakespeare authorship question if the editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. The committee's full decision can be read at Arbitration/Requests/Case/Shakespeare authorship question. Tom Reedy (talk) 19:22, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Tom, I'm honored to be among a noble group that strive for honesty and objectivity and who receive as a consequence your threatening letters.Jdkag (talk) 19:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Request for help concerning energy...
Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:


 * Outline of solar energy
 * Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....


 * if you spot missing topics, add them in.


 * if you can, improve the descriptions.


 * add missing descriptions.


 * show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).


 * fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking Main links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:48, 2 June 2012 (UTC) P.S.: see also Outline of energy

Reverting a routine DAB edit at Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship
Hello Jdkag. Can I ask for your rationale for this edit, where you undid an editor's disambiguation of some links to Laertes? Were you reverting without looking? As you know, you've been notified under WP:ARBSAQ. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Ed, if you had looked at the talk page, you would have seen that my revert was part of a comprehensive BRD revert. I am hoping to be notified by someone interesting in starting the BRD consensus building process for the article. Are you interested? Now, as in the past, you've only shown an interest in attacking anyone who does not share your anti-Oxfordian views.
 * Do you think someone needs to build consensus before doing a DAB? What about fixing spelling errors?  Since you were a named party of the Arbcom case, it would be welcome to see any evidence of your good faith. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ed, the spelling error that you are harping about was mixed in among the major ("bold") revisions. I see that you are interested in trying to build a legal case against me, rather than trying to work with me to build consensus on the article.
 * It would be evidence of your good faith if you would restore the DAB to Laertes (Hamlet) that you undid. If not, perhaps in the spirit of BRD, you can explain what your objection is to that change. EdJohnston (talk) 15:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Obviously I had no objection to fixing the specific link. I will monitor to make sure that the correction remains as the expected reverts proceed over the coming days.

Request that topic ban be lifted
Hi Jdkag,

I've made a request that the topic ban be lifted. I hope I can count on your support. NinaGreen (talk) 18:21, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:HYDROLOGY 22105 PM-MR1.pdf
Thanks for uploading File:HYDROLOGY 22105 PM-MR1.pdf. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

Consensus
You need to get consensus on the talk page first. Content is well referenced. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

March 2016
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Water fluoridation under discretionary sanctions
Ronz (talk) 16:25, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * here. --Ronz (talk) 16:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * FromWP:AC/DS linked above: "Pages relating to Pseudoscience and Fringe science (Pseudoscience)". From WP:GS: "All pages relating to pseudoscience and fringe science, broadly interpreted" and "Standard discretionary sanctions are authorised for all pages relating to pseudoscience and fringe science, broadly interpreted. Any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in this topic area, after an initial warning."
 * You can always ask for verification. I'm not sure what's the best place to do so: Wikipedia_talk:General_sanctions should be ok. --Ronz (talk) 22:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If you don't believe me, and won't verify it yourself, then good luck to you. You'll find that working cooperatively with others and verifying information are essential here. --Ronz (talk) 15:31, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Water fluoridation does not seem to be a topic under discretionary or general sanctions and Ronz sent a link to an unrelated topic. Unfortunately editors Ronz and Doc James seem to have adopted a policy of harassing other editors rather than working with them to improve the page.Jdkag (talk) 17:04, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Would you like an explanation as to why I believe the sanctions apply? Or, if you like, I can ask for verification for you. --Ronz (talk) 01:10, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Marysidney.png


The file File:Marysidney.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IDI-diamond museum.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:IDI-diamond museum.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
