User talk:Jonwiener

Re:Thanks
Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. For example if you are creating an article, then you can write an one word summary like "Creation"

The most imporatnt thing is whenever you write on some body's talk page then please sign it. You can sign it by clikcing the signature icon in the editor by by inserting four tides like this one. (~&#126;);-- IndianCow  Talk  08:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Obtaining copyright permission
Hi Jon. If you've been able to obtain copyright permission, I can help you out with the article, but you'll first need to receive a reply to the email you sent to the permissions address. Someone over there should respond to you and undelete the article, along with adding a tag confirming that permission has been obtained. Since I'm not a part of that side of Wikipedia, I can't help you out until they get around to it - sorry.

Assuming everything was handled correctly, we'll need to make sure the article is formatted properly according to the Manual of Style. I can help you out with that. Just let me know. Tijuana Brass (talk) 22:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Please stop spamming articles with references to your books. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:36, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you cite specific problems? references to relevant works are not spam. thank you. Jonwiener (talk) 21:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Adding your book to the biographies of the Chicago Eight defendants, and in some cases to their bibliographies, is spam. So is your gratuitous plugging of your John Lennon book. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia articles require documentation. the book in question provides the only transcript of the trial described in the articles. Is the problem the cross-refs to my page?  I'd be happy to delete those if that's the problem. Jonwiener (talk) 23:48, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it's probably best if you stopped inserting information about your books. Please review WP:COI, especially the section titled "How to avoid COI edits". — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 00:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I see your point -- COI page says citing yourself is acceptable "only if it is relevant." don't you think the transcript of the Chicago Conspiracy trial is relevant to articles about the trial?  I'll delete my name from text of articles as well as cross-refs to my page -- okay? Jonwiener (talk) 00:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, you already reverted everything. Jonwiener (talk) 00:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I really don't want to have to take this to the COI noticeboard, but you don't seem to get it. You, Jon Wiener, adding information about books that you, Jon Wiener, wrote or edited, is a problem. The Chicago Eight trial transcript is a public record. A plug for your book just isn't necessary. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 00:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd appreciate it if you didn't take this to the COI board -- and I'm happy to leave those pages reverted. Jonwiener (talk) 00:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

David igler
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, David igler, may be copied from http://www.humanities.uci.edu/history/faculty_profile_igler.php. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 01:33, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of David igler


A tag has been placed on David igler requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited This Is America, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The House I Live In (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Select Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_ehxFQUM30kpB9FH&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Jon Wiener 1.4 MB sq.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jon Wiener 1.4 MB sq.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dylsss(talk contribs) 02:23, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
