Vice Presidents
Hi Jajhill, many people have held multiple offices. I don't think it is practical to put an infobox for each one (as you did for Thomas Jefferson). The usual convention is to have the highest office that person held in the infobox (in this case, President). There are templates and sucession boxes at the bottom of the article that give more detail about other offices. For example, Jefferson was also Governor of Virginia and Secretary of State. --JW1805 (Talk) 01:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Then how come William H. Taft's page has him with a presidential table and chief justice table? - Jajhill

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Adolphus79 05:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Numbering of British Prime Ministers
I've removed the numbering from the infoboxes of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. British Prime Ministers aren't numbered like US Presidents for several boring reasons. Firstly, the term "Prime Minister" wasn't used until the early twentieth century, before then the office was called "First Lord of the Treasury", in fact to this day the Prime Minister still is the First Lord of the Treasury, that's what it says on No. 10's letterbox. Another thing is, the United Kingdom didn't exist until 1801, before then it was Great Britain, so technically Robert Walpole was the first Prime Minister of Great Britain and Henry Addington was the last Prime Minister of Great Britain and the first Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Also, there is a debate as to weather non-consecutive terms are counted twice, like the way the Americans count Grover Cleveland, the Downing Street website says Gordon Brown will be the 52nd person to walk through the doors of Downing Street as PM not the 75th. Then there is the issue of how many times Ramsay MacDonald is counted as the government changed part way through his second term but he remained as Prime Minister. Finally, it's just not a British tradition to count the number people who have held a particular office. Hope you understand. --Philip Stevens 12:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Understood. It's just me and my American ways. -- Jajhill 19:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding numbers again. Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I did not add any numbers to British Prime Ministers! Why are you accusing me? And why mustn't I? - Jajhill 14:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I haven't been talking about the British PMs, I've been talking about adding them everywhere else. If you'd responded earlier, there wouldn't be any confusion. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hello, Jajhill. I'm curious. What was your reasoning for changing MLK's infobox (diff)? I'm not a great fan of infoboxes one way or the other, I just wanted to understand your rationale. Thank you in advance. ---Sluzzelin talk  13:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It should also be noted that Wikipedia articles do not use honorifics such as Dr. or Mr. -- Orange Mike 23:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, its because it seems that Dr. King was just as much a philosopher as a revolutionary leader, not only continuing, but preaching the ideas of Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi, of peace and civil disobidience. - Jajhill 01:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. This is one of the reasons I see info-boxes as problematic: MLK was a religious and spiritual leader, a political activist, a humanitarian, a pacifist, an orator, and so many other things. Hard to settle on one type of box. I do think, however, that his most prominent influence and legacy lie in the history of civil rights and political activism, so, in my opinion the box, if one is needed at all, should reflect this. I agree that "Infobox revolution biography" is not a very compelling title, and understand your wish to change it, but I fear the "Western philosophy" box is even less fitting and would never receive consensus to remain. ---Sluzzelin talk  06:54, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. - Jajhill 4 August 2007

Rolland medal
Hello- I've noticed you've added the nobel prize image to Romain Rolland's infobox. Surprised it wasn't there before. But it seems to be covering the last bit of his name, so it reads Romain Rollan. Maybe this is just a weird browser thing at my end. But if you could double check and fix if it isn't just me, that'd be great. Thanks, DionysosProteus 04:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Just curious why you seem to be systematically removing the undefined and tags from biographical articles? The standard has been to include them so taking them out would be inconsistent with most biographical articles on Wiki that include them. --Veritas (talk) 23:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, I think WP:MOSNUM supports removing the superscripting. I'm not much on the minutia of WP policies, but that's how it reads to me. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 20:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and I'm wondering why you are also removing and  from articles, such as George H. W. Bush with. I looked at before and after, and the use of these templates looked fine to me (if a bit 'cute'). That's a lot of changes you are making without any mentioned reasons that I can see. General guideline: if you _could_ make dozens or hundreds of changes, first make just a few and see what the reaction is. Shenme (talk) 23:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Wait, why are you doing these actions again? See from 23:13, 11 November 2007. Some changes you do are 'good' like, so you don't look like a vandal. But you still need to discuss before you repeat edits that have been reversed. Perhaps the Help_desk people could help you find the right people to talk to. Shenme (talk) 00:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Poe infobox
Regarding the infobox at Edgar Allan Poe, precedent for featured class articles on writers has actually been to remove the infobox rather than expand them (see, for example Mary Shelley). What remains at Poe's article is safe only because it is neutral. "Genre" is too debatable (but there's plenty of discussion in the prose itself) and a list of "Notable works" will easily annoy Poe scholars and Poe fans alike (I, for one, was particularly annoyed by the focus on horror works, when so much of the article tries to expand beyond that limited scope of Poe's oeuvre). Anyway, just thought I'd let you know my motivations. Oh, and don't forget to add edit summaries, especially on articles that are semi-protected and have a high concern for vandalism. :) --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:43, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Republican Liberty Caucus
You appear to be one of the more active editors on Republican Liberty Caucus. The article was tagged for over a year for concerns about the lack of sources, and there were comments on the talk page too. Basically, the entire article was sourced to the RLC websites. According to WP:V, Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on third-party sources. If readers are only interested in seeing the RLC view of things they can go to the RLC website. WP:NPOV says we must include all significant points of view, and those are not going to be found on the official site. As a result, I've "stubbed" the article down to a short paragraph. I'd be happy to see the article expanded again, but only if it's based on independent sources.  Will Beback   talk    20:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Rolling stone succession boxes
Please stop adding these to articles. Regardless of whether their positions on the list should be in the articles (I don't have an opinion at this time), a succession box is not appropriate. It uses "preceded by" and "succeeded by", which implies the position as the greatest vocalist is passed on from one to another - and it is not even obvious which means up and which means down. It is not a good way to convey this information. I am rolling back your additions. Regards, Trebor (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Property tax rates in the United States by state


The article Property tax rates in the United States by state has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This really just appears to be property tax rates in Massachusetts. Shouldn't this information be integrated into a Massachusetts-specific article? Also, going to a county level in terms of information seems a bit too exhaustive.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  elektrik SHOOS  17:32, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

May 2015
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Lawrence, Massachusetts. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. John from Idegon (talk) 15:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Template:Infobox school district
I notice you have been adding Template:Infobox school district to a number of city articles. If you click on the link to the template, you will see that the first line states "this template is intended for use in school district articles". While I appreciate your hard work, this is not the correct use of this template and your edits will need to be removed. Thanks for your cooperation. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Please respond. Thank you.  Magnolia677 (talk) 00:09, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Magnolia677. What? I thought we resolved this. Jajhill 15:50, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 * You are correct. My apologies.  I wasn't following the talk page discussion and the template language about this remains unclear.  Sorry about the reverts.  I'll try to fix them soon.  Magnolia677 (talk) 01:51, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

The issue was not resolved in any way. Changes to templates or their documentation require a much wider consensus than existed at that talk page. Frankly, since the uninvolved editor jumped in and made the change before Magnolia had responded, there was not even enough of a consensus to make a change on one page, much less a template. A consensus is not a simple vote. It is a meeting of the minds of all concerned parties. Obviously, since all involved knew Magnolia was a concerned party, there is no consensus. To change templates, all interested parties have to able to participate. Minimally, notification should have been made at the main talk pages of the two interested projects to ensure wider participation. Please make appropriate notifications and continue discussion. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 20:31, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

You do not have consensus to use infobox school district on settlement articles. Further, even if you did, I and I believe many other editors, would oppose its use on an article by article basis. If a town is so small as to not support notability for an article on its school district, guidelines fully support writing prose and lists to document the public school system. I really see no arguement for using them other than ilikeit. I will be do I g a bunch of reverting, and I'd appreciate your help. John from Idegon (talk) 21:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I can second this opinion - I have no problem with an editor who wants to constructively contribute to Wikipedia, but if the general WP:CONSENSUS is that the infobox does not fit the article (or placement within the article) than I think you should stop adding them and contribute in other ways. Check this out for more info on the infobox you're using and its intended use. Garchy (talk) 18:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

SAT Update - sources
You appear to be making massive changes to SAT scores on many pages without adjusting the references. Where are these numbers coming from? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 05:50, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Jwy, the new numbers and the old numbers come from the same source, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. If you would actually follow the link, you would know this. Jajhill (talk) 05:58, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * If you followed the link and look at the indicated 2014-2015 numbers, you might find they point to the old numbers. And, at least for Bromfield, the number you give for the total doesn't match the source even if you look at the 2015-2016 page. --John (User:Jwy/talk)
 * User:Jwy, if you select the 2014-2015 school year on the link, you will get the 2014-2015 results. However, there are more recent results which are located on the very same page. The old data needs to be updated now. And also, you clearly are not capable of doing basic arithmetic: the 2015-2016 SAT results for the Harvard Public School District (where The Bromfield School is the only public high school) are 594 for reading, 583 for writing, and 589 for math. 594+583+589=1766. I'm reverting your edits. -- Jajhill (talk) 06:28, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I was mapping that number to the fourth number in the source: the total number of tests taken.  My mistake.  I appreciate your work on this.

Mountains of New Hampshire navbox
Hi - Thanks for all the work you've been doing on geographic navboxes lately. They've been very thorough. I have a suggestion about the Mountains of New Hampshire template. Several of the ranges listed (specifically Baldface-Royce, Crescent, Kinsman, Pilot, Presidential, Sandwich, and Twin) are part of the White Mountains, so it seems strange to have them broken out separately from the Whites. I see that it is possible to introduce subgroups into navboxes - see Template:University of Michigan for an example. Would you be willing to try that for the NH mountains navbox, or shall I go ahead and take a stab at it? --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:20, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Ken Gallager. If you'd like to create subgroups in the navbox for the ranges that are within the White Mountains, feel more than free. I wasn't sure exactly how to proceed with that when I initially created the navbox, so I just figured I would just separate the ranges (sometimes having too many subgroups can seem cluttered). Just let me know when you're done so that I can see what it looks like. -- Jajhill (talk) 16:23, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Charlie Baker expansion
I don't think users who contribute so heavily are given enough credit here. I read through the governorship section of the Charlie Baker article and found it informative. By that I was impressed. I wish we had fifty more users who showed your level of dedication to a particular page. You did an excellent job. - Informant16 October 25, 2018


 * Thanks. I'm glad someone appreciates it. I agree with your assessment of the current climate within the editor community. I have generally had little success in persuading editors who revert my work to stop. I feel that the administrators (and one administrator in particular) also have had a strong bias against me in disputes (which, as you can see from my talk page, I've had many). It seems like there is a small group of administrators in control who enact editing policies and guidelines through a process that they set up and only they are familiar with. Most of these policies seem to have completely subjective criteria enabling them to implement their own biases in removing what they consider to be an irrelevant edit or to be completely selective in policing it. The administrators are supposed to be elected, but it doesn't seem to me that this website has ever had enough users who are engaged at that level to make the elections legitimate. They need to come up with a different system for selecting administrators so that people in the position are rotated and can be removed and permanently barred if they create enough conflicts with a particular editor or group of editors. There needs to be a power-sharing compromise agreement between administrators on the deletionist and inclusionist controversy to reduce conflict within the community because it seems that editors who mostly create content are beginning to quit the site (I've considered it). The administrators should be working to try to better coordinate the work of editors. One rule should be that administrators who make reverts should be required to assist editors in finding other administrators who need help to expanding topics the editor has an interest in. I could go on. -- Jajhill (talk) 16:29, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Further commending
I didn't see your response to my comment until about a week ago. I appreciate the additional work on Charlie Baker. I'm just worried that some of the users on here are going to try and split the article or mess with it in the coming weeks. They've been doing that with a lot of the presidential timelines that I expanded. There's this weird thing where people try to split pages without ever contributing to them so they can brag about what articles they made. Also, are there any other biographical pages that you would be interested in? - Informant16 December 2, 2018


 * I don't what we could do about that. I certainly hope that doesn't happen. However, even within Wikipedia guidelines about splitting articles, I'm not sure that splitting the Charlie Baker article would make much sense though. Unless the article has topped 100,000 bytes of prose, which I'm not sure that it has. There are other biographical articles I'd like to edit after I collect enough news articles about them. However, I have a Microsoft Word document that still has 19 pages of URLs that link to news articles and press statements about Charlie Baker and his administration that I wanted to add to that article. They would mostly be updates to the existing policy sections, but would also involve creating a section about his administration's public safety and criminal justice policies.


 * The other biographical articles I would want to edit would be the articles about Deval Patrick, Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, and Ben Bernanke, and the reason I would want to edit them is because, while I know a bit each of them, I would like to know more about their tenures in public office. I live in Massachusetts and have been following the state's politics pretty closely for over 10 years now, and since Patrick has reportedly been considering running for President in 2020, I think it would be worthwhile to expand the section about his tenure as Governor of Massachusetts. I would like to edit the Wikipedia articles about the last three Federal Reserve Chairs because I also have a very strong interest in monetary policy, in part because once I graduate from college, I intend to go into finance.


 * In addition, I also have an interest in these articles in particular is because I often feel like much of public policy discussions in the United States, given the current news and social media environment, have become so vitriolic and polarized that collectively American society is losing the ability to have constructive public policy and political discussions. In fact, I would argue that part of the reason why the subprime mortgage crisis and the Financial crisis of 2007–2008 turned into the Great Recession was largely because of this. It prevented the Federal Reserve as well as other public policy institutions in the United States from being able to formulate and implement decisive actions that could have ameliorated the severity of the recession. I believe that editing these pages could help to create a common base of facts that could help reduce polarization and keep things like that from happening again, but also because it seems to me that creating a common base of facts is precisely what Wikipedia was invented for. (Also, just as a personal aside, I do think my editing of the Charlie Baker article in fact had that effect on the recent gubernatorial election in Massachusetts, even if it may have been an indirect effect.) - Jajhill (talk) 14:30, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I like your counterargument to splitting it but there are a couple of policies on here that these users who favor messing with pages that other people have tried to work on tend to use to get away with whatever they do. For example, while everyone is all of a sudden concerned with George H. W. Bush, I wrote about 25% of that page late last year and tried to provide summarized content from my Foreign policy of the George H. W. Bush administration article. All of this, which added to about 30,000 bytes, was considered too big by two people and thereby prevented from being allowed to stay on. Keep in mind, the main H. W. Bush page is over a 100,000 bytes smaller than the Charlie Baker article, which makes me worried that they will use the same arguments to mess with it, especially after how hard you've worked.
 * I do have an interest in the Deval Patrick article, though the others only less so due to a conviction that I probably couldn't find as much material. It wouldn't stop me from trying though. I like to think I've done an alright job with Strom Thurmond and Robert F. Kennedy, two articles I wrote large portions of, and am interested in a variety of long-serving politicians like John C. Stennis, Sam Ervin, John Sparkman, and Richard Russell, Jr..
 * I like to believe that editing on here does make a difference in terms of what people can find out about in relation to the topic at hand. I wouldn't be surprised if people did look up Baker's tenure and mostly learn about it through your edits. That was part of the reason why I had thanked you in the first place, but also because I know that a bulk of articles on this site that could be considered informative were written entirely by one or two people who oftentimes have to put up with parliamentary tricks by those that don't contribute so thoroughly. - Informant16 December 3, 2018

Celebritynetworth.com as a source
Hi Jajhill. I noticed that you used celebritynetworth.com as a source for biography information in University of Massachusetts Boston. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that celebritynetworth.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Ronz (talk) 19:05, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I was unaware that it did not meet the consensus reliable sourcing criteria for articles containing biographical information. I only used it because it was the only reference I could find using Google for that particular alumnus entry, but since it does not, I'm more than glad that you have already removed it. Thank you. -- Jajhill (talk) 18:08, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018
Your recent editing history at Psychology 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 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 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -Snowded TALK 17:18, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
