2007/05: Spam in John Carlsen
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on John Carlsen, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because John Carlsen is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting John Carlsen, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate John Carlsen itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 05:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

2007/12: Speedy deletion of Video Concepts
A tag has been placed on Video Concepts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

2008/02: Disputed fair use rationale for Image:IguanaEntertainmentLogo2black.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:IguanaEntertainmentLogo2black.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

2008/07: Vandalism???
Since when is the removal of politically biased material vandalism? 192.25.142.225 (talk) 00:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it was vandalism.
It took me a few moments to find what I had reported, but here it is: Comparing revisions to the Motorola page made on 3 April 2008 as of 17:54 (by 198.189.184.252) and as of 17:54, I removed petty vandalism in the form of the comment on line 20 reading "THIS IS SO GAY!!!!!!!".

Clearly this comment has no place here.

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Station-map-lrg.gif}
Thank you for uploading File:Station-map-lrg.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

 * I have done a little tweaking of my own on the article and also moved two sections with overlapping content adjascent to each other with a view to combining them. I wonder if you would have a look at achieving this as, judging by your previous work, you seem to have a 'way' with condensing and rationalising?Pv=mrt (talk) 11:55, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

ESL shooting (November 2009)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article ESL shooting, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I spawned the ESL shooting page from the page for Richard Farley, the perpetrator. References to source materials are on that page, and I hope to copy appropriate ones over when I have time. - Johnlogic (talk) 20:38, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Comments at Talk:Jack Tramiel
John, just wanted to let you know I responded to your commentary on my commentary. Also, see by your info page you worked with Atari. Which Atari was it, Atari Inc. or Atari Corp. It looked like Atari Corp. by some of the info I saw. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 04:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Marty, and thanks for writing! I worked for Atari Corp. (the consumer product company, on Borregas Avenue in Sunnyvale, CA) in the summer of 1987; I met the Tramiels there, and got to speak with Leonard at length. By the way, about six months later, the ESL shooting occurred across the street.
 * Did you work for Atari? By the way, I see that you worked on a "flashback" product; do you happen to know Jeri Ellsworth (up near Portland OR)? - Johnlogic (talk) 05:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No didn't work for any of the original Atari's. Do contract for the current one using the brand name.  Yes, the Atari Flashback 2 and an upcoming Flashback product.  Regarding Jeri, yes, we're acquaintances online, haven't had a chance to meet in person yet though I am friends with some of the rest of the DTV team. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 05:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletionism vs. Inclusionism
I appreciate your comments on the Deletionism/Inclusionism page. Unfortunately, your views (and mine) seem to be in the minority. All articles grow from a stub, so the stubs need to be retained.

There's more to it than that, however. The deletionists do a great deal of destruction to articles that are never deleted (by cutting out passages). They seem to think that a good article is small and concise, with only the barest and most essential facts. Many of the deletionists, in my opinion, have biased agendas. Atheists and Christians attack articles on non-mainstream religious movements; scientists with conventional ideas attack articles on new scientific theories; conservatives attack articles on progressive social movements, etc. I think there should be a rule that significant portions of articles cannot be deleted without prior discussion. I also think that people should be asked to refrain from editing articles on subjects about which they have no knowledge. That would stop the most chronic deletionists who run from article to article looking for stuff to delete.--ESB60 (talk) 06:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

SJSU Grad and Retention Rates
JOHN:

Your placement of the low four-year grad rate at the TOP of the section is clearly an act of vandalism and is greatly unappreciated by those of us who have invested time and energy in developing what is now a very solid SJSU article. Unlike the vast majority of university Wiki articles, this one is reasonably objective and generally devoid of boosterism. I work in academia, and the standard metrics nowadays are six, eight and even 10-year grad rates. Same goes for retention rates. Please show me any other Wiki article where the 4-year grad rate (and four-year grad rate alone) is placed at the TOP of the Academics section in its own line/paragraph. SJSU's six-year grad rate is around 50% (eight-year is higher) and both its freshmen and transfer retention rates are around 80%. This is very much in line with many other large public universities in CA and elsewhere.

Even much more prestigious academic institutions have relatively low 4-year grad rates. Case in point, I believe Berkeley's is around 50% and the average statewide (CA) is around 30%. Cal Poly's four-year grad rate is around 25%. At Long Beach it's 12%. The six-year average in CA is around 65%. SJSU doesn't even publish its four-year rate anymore, and this is true of many other schools as well, so not sure where the 7% figure even came from. USNWR should not be used as a data source for university demographic and/or G&T data. This data should come from the university itself. USN&WR as a data SOURCE is only appropriate when citing USN&WR's own ranking data.

Also, I should point out the freshmen grad rates don't account for transfer students and grad students, who make up a significant percentage of the total student enrollment at schools like SJSU. Another factor that affects grad rates is impaction. SJSU (along with Long Beach, Fullerton and SDSU) is impacted in EVERY MAJOR. This drives minimum admission standards up and grad rates down... at least in the short-term. You can't simply throw out a single figure (from a secondary source) without providing needed context, etc., and expect others invested in this article not to challenge you.

I understand you have issues with SJSU and your edits to this article in the past have clearly demonstrated you lack a neutral POV since nearly every edit attempts to cast SJSU in a negative light. I am going to leave your edit for now, but I will replace it with applicable six and eight-year stats using SJSU SOURCE DATA and move it to an appropriate position within the Academics section later when I have more time.

Orphaned non-free image File:IguanaEntertainmentLogo2black.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:IguanaEntertainmentLogo2black.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) 17:16, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Shooting ranges in California


A tag has been placed on Category:Shooting ranges in California 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 deleted 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. Liz Read!

Adding content and relying on blue links for sources
Hi John, You've been around long enough to know that per WP:USERGENERATED, a wikilink is not a reliable source. Toddst1 (talk) 21:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

June 2021
Your recent editing history at Sunnyvale, California shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''You are edit warring, restoring unsourced material. Per WP:USERG a blue link is not a source, the WP:BURDEN to provide direct sources is on the user who adds or restores information to any article.'' Toddst1 (talk) 00:43, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
