Disambiguation (help needed)
Thanks for your message about disambiguation links. In the last week or so I have disambiguated (de-linked) over 1,000 links to point to the right article. Where I am not familiar with a topic I feel it is better to highlight the fact that a link to a dab is present than to get it wrong (about 10 have been reverted as pointing to the wrong thing or "not needed here") in the hope that those with the specialist will be able to address them so that readers get taken to the correct article. To pick a couple of examples: in several examples a link to Negro Southern League did not include a date and therefore I unsure which article should be the target. One of my specific difficulties is that US states are often referred two by two letter abbreviations which as someone from Europe I am not familiar with (and some other readers around the world might not be). For some of the medical links (eg Equine encephalitis) it could be harmful/dangerous for someone without the necessary knowledge to select one of these.&mdash; Rod talk 06:44, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Spam-link removal
Thanks for this and related set of edits. I filed an XLinkBot request for it, but could probably just as well go blacklist instead. DMacks (talk) 13:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Cheers. I think that was all of them. Will be good to blacklist it for the future. Pattern seems to be 10 or so link additions every couple of weeks, different IP each time. Jevansen (talk) 14:01, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking more though, I think the content added at the same time (what those refs cited) also should be removed in many cases as copyvio (cut'n'pasted from the ref'ed site). DMacks (talk) 15:20, 20 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd say so too. I've done it that way before in the past but got reverted too many times for "removing sourced content". I'm happy to go back and do so though if it hasn't yet been done (wouldn't think that was something a bot could help with?). Jevansen (talk) 03:19, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

June 2017
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that a recent edit of yours to the page 2016 Uri attack has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. ''You have removed a citation calling it a spam link. Please make sure you understand what WP:SPAM means. If you write misleading edit summaries again, I will report you to the admins.'' Kautilya3 (talk) 14:31, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Jevansen is quite on-target with that comment. Please dial your own hair-trigger down a bit. Even if this one was not actually spam, one mistake by someone with over 240K edits probably doesn't merit an immediate admin report. But istead, I am an admin and already concurred with the "spam" assessment, and I know other admins and editors agree based on their edit-summaries as well. WP:CITESPAM is a component of WP:SPAM. DMacks (talk) 15:23, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That site is now on the Wikipedia blacklist. Let me know if you have any further questions about this assessment. DMacks (talk) 15:45, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. Sorry, I didn't realize this site was blacklisted. My apologies Jevansen! --
 * Don't worry about it. Thanks to DMacks for the intervention. Jevansen (talk) 03:21, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Irish female lawn bowls players


A tag has been placed on Category:Irish female lawn bowls players requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Thanks for checking. Not sure why the WTA ext link doesn't work, but it's the same for other articles so isn't related to her last name.

Non-free rationale for File:BertDeacon.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BertDeacon.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:12, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

James Ward (tennis) - categories
Regarding ... is a parent category of  so according to James Ward (tennis) ought only be in the child category, not both, according to WP:SUBCAT. Do you think should be non-diffusing? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Mitch. Yes, I think it should be non diffusing. It pretty much says that in the description of Category:British tennis players, even though it doesn't have the non-diffusing tag. Players can represent England in the Commonwealth Games, but Great Britain in the Olympics etc. Andy Murray won his Wimbledon titles under the British flag so I'd would be strange not having him under that category. I think the tennis project treats these categories more as "country represented" than as a "nationality" criteria. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 12:40, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add Non-diffusing subcategory, so that the intent is clear to all editors. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Kuwaiti footballers - duplicate?
Hi Jevansen, sorry to bother you, but I don't know Wikipedia policies on how to proceed with my "issue" and on the articles your name is the most recent non-bot non-IP. I suspect that the articles Sulaiman Abdulghafour and Sulaiman Abdulgahfoor treat the same person even though some of the data differ. Reason being: two international goalkeepers for Kuwait born within 5 days of each other, both playing for the national side, both having the same name (the difference is obviously exclusively because of transliteration from Arabic. One of the sources offers yet a third version). The problem is: who is responsible? And how to find out which one is correct? --131.169.89.168 (talk) 12:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, I suspect you're right. The 21 February birthdate is likely a typo because both wikipedia articles are sourced to profiles which give 26 February. In terms of spelling of his name, best to go with the most reliable sources, FIFA uses Sulaiman Abdulghafour, so I'd suggest the solution is we merge into that article but fix the birthdate. How does that sound? If you're happy with that I can do the merge. Jevansen (talk) 12:53, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'd be perfectly happy with that. --131.169.89.168 (talk) 13:21, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Done. Thanks for pointing this out. Jevansen (talk) 13:28, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Nigerian tennis players
Hi! I noticed that in this edit, you removed Sarah Adegoke from Category:Nigerian tennis players without explaining why in your edit summary. Perhaps you were removing her because she's in the subcategory Category:Nigerian female tennis players, but that subcat is non-diffusing, in accordance with WP:DUPCAT. But bizarrely, Category:Nigerian male tennis players is not marked as non-diffusing. I'm planning to add Adegoke, and then the members of Category:Nigerian male tennis players, to Category:Nigerian tennis players, but I thought I should check first that there's not some other reasoning I'm missing. Thanks! — Bilorv(c)(talk) 13:59, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Bilorv. I removed it because I don't believe it qualifies as a non-diffusing category. Gendered sportspeople categories seem to be an exception to WP:DUPCAT, as they compete in segregated competitions (see third paragraph of WP:CATGENDER). Jevansen (talk) 23:47, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * You're quite right; I hadn't seen that guideline. I've removed the non-diffusing template from Category:Nigerian female tennis players. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 02:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you removed the maintenance tag on Martina_Babáková I added. Please, don't see it as a personal attack - a maintenance tag is just that, a tag showing what can still be improved. No articles start complete, and I mainly added it to let other editors know as well that this article would become better if sourced. If you're still developing the article, it's absolutely fine (you might want to readd the tag once you're finished, if you still have yet to add references). Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

Mass edits
Can you please refrain from mass editing in a short period of time as you did two hours ago? I understand you're using JWB but something that creates almost 1000 edits in such a short time disrupts a lot of people's watchlists and should probably be done with a bot with a flag to prevent this. Praxidicae (talk) 15:44, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi thanks for your comment. I am conscious of this and when doing such edits through JWB in the past I will mark the edits as minor so these can be easily excluded (as bulk editing will often be centered around the same topic). I also add a lot of categories to sports bios (many of which are created by the prolific User:Lugnuts) but thankfully category changes can also be excluded from watchlists so this creates no issue. Unfortunately for talk page creations this isn't an option.


 * Not sure if these came up on your watchlist or you are just flagging this, but I can't imagine many people (if anyone) have the subcategories of Category:Taxa by author on their watchlist? Are categories in general really that heavily watched? Given this and how inefficient it would be to continuously be requesting bot assistance, I feel the positives outweigh the negatives. Thanks. Jevansen (talk) 02:33, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It doesn't just flag up on watchlists, it also flags up on recent changes and a whole number of other monitoring feeds based on recent changes. High-speed script-assisted editing can be treated as a bot edit, especially when you're making edits of this frequency. In future, please run these under a bot account - minor edits can be made by any user and thus a lot of tools built on top of recent changes won't really treat them any differently, whereas bot flags are generally ignored by default. You might not see the inconvenience here, but the fact I noticed this (from the logs of one of my tools as anomalous editing) and that another editor has commented here as well means it's probably caused a bigger waste of collective editor time than you simply registering a bot account, taking it to BRFA to get a bot flag, then doing this sort of edit from that bot account. WP:BOTPOL has the details you need here. stwalkerster (talk) 12:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Adding incorrect wikiprojects to file talk pages
Hi. Please stop mass adding WP Albums to file talk pages that are for songs and not albums.—NØ 07:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for pointing this out. These songs are incorrectly categorised because I am only tagging files that are in Category:Album covers. Have you found many that this applies to (songs not albums)?. Jevansen (talk) 07:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I've checked some random files myself and it seems this applies to quite a few. I'll have to go back and review those already tagged. Jevansen (talk) 08:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah. It will get really hard to address if you keep going at the current pace. Please take a little bit of time to check the articles before adding the tags.—NØ 08:33, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Mass addition of images to Wikiprojects
Is this really necessary? This seems more like distracting clutter. The only images that should be tagged as part of a Wikiproject are - maybe - "internal" images, i.e. Wikipedia-only logos and the like. SnowFire (talk) 12:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * There are nearly 30,000 images already tagged as part of WikiProject Video games so this sort of tagging is nothing new. I can stop for tonight if you want and give others a chance for input, but I'm not sure of a reason or policy which would mean this isn't a useful exercise. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 12:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Let me rephrase: What exactly is the value provided by doing this? (There's lots of old stuff that is bad and useless.)  SnowFire (talk) 14:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Maintenance. Jevansen (talk) 23:09, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * ...okay. Please describe, in detail, a maintenance task that this mass tagging will enable that would be harder to do or incorrect if done via simply looking at associated categories in an article, which is what you seem to be using anyway, and these categories will be up-to-date rather than up-to-date-you-last-ran-the-script.  SnowFire (talk) 23:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Files in general are poorly categorised (either lacking a topic category or have been automatically assigned a topic specific category erroneously due to the template used on the file page). There are more files in Category:File-Class video game articles than the Category:Video game media category tree (a subcategory of which I used).


 * As you seem quite passionate about this I'd suggest starting a new request for comment if you would to discuss whether WikiProject tagging should be stopped in future for the file namespace. Thank you for taking an interest in my editing. Kind regards. Jevansen (talk) 05:27, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
