May 2009 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page George Gissing has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://petermortonhomepage.blogspot.com/, http://petermortonhomepage.blogspot.com/ (redirect from http://petermortonhomepage.blogspot.com/)). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Giant Bible of Mainz edit
|
On October 12, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Giant Bible of Mainz, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Sensitive plants edit
I have removed links to the discussion you started. It seems inappropriate to be attracting more attention to the plant's location by opening up a wider discussion. I have emailed the oversighters to look into the matter, and I have myself removed as much obvious mention of the plant's location as I could find.
Our existing guidelines provide us the ability to remove all contentious material that is not adequately sourced, so we do not need an extra policy. I personally feel that it would be irresponsible for Wikipedia to keep details on the location available in the page histories as reliable sources take pains not to reveal the location, so I do hope the histories will be cleaned. However, the decision is not mine to make, and there may be considerations that I am not aware of. Depending on the response to my email depends on if it would be appropriate to raise the issue of adding a clause to WP:Oversight making clear that any unsourced and sensitive information that would have a detrimental effect on property or wildlife should be suppressed from Wikipedia. Regards SilkTork *YES! 13:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your message re lady's-slipper and for your removal of various mentions of the site. Yes, I was aware that by mentioning the location I was paradoxically creating more publicity, which was exactly what I didn't want to see, but it seemed a gambit worth playing. I';d be extremely grateful for any updates about the decision the oversight team comes up with.Jimi 66 (talk) 21:51, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- The current oversight criteria do not cover incidents such as this. There would need to be a discussion and a consensus decision to allow the oversight team to add such "public interest" criteria. I think there would be some support for adding "public interest" to the criteria, so it would be worth starting such a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Oversight. It would be worth wording it carefully before starting such a discussion. There would be no need to go into real locations. And there would need to be a convincing argument why we should remove information that is not actually illegal. It could only work if no reliable source had published the information.
- The argument would be along the lines that:
- information which if published may be harmful to a person, property, endangered wildlife or plantlife
- and/or is not in the public interest
- which is not adequately cited to a reliable source
- so if harm is done, it could be seen to be Wikipedia's responsibility
- should be removed completely from Wikipedia.
Sensitive wildlife locations edit
Did you see my comment about using WP:PSTS to eliminate precise locations? Sources giving exact locations, even scientific articles, are likely to be primary, and can be removed for that reason alone. Abductive (reasoning) 05:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Oversight criteria edit
As suggested, I've drafted a proposal for the Oversight talk page. It's on a sub-page of my user page. All comments very gratefully received.Jimi 66 (talk) 20:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
I've now added this proposal to the Wikipedia talk:Oversight page, but haven't done anything else to bring people's attention to it. Is there anywhere else you'd recommend I mention it? ThanksJimi 66 (talk) 22:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- I've put it on CENT, and I've left a notice on the Village Pump. You may leave a neutral message on the talkpage of people you feel might be interested in such a discussion. Oversighters themselves would have an interest in such a discussion, and some insight into the process that would be valuable. Wording such as A proposal to add a new "public interest" clause to Wikipedia:Oversight has started at Wikipedia_talk:Oversight#Proposal_for_new_.27public_interest.27_clause is neutral. SilkTork *YES! 10:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
In hindsight I should have initiated the proposal. People are being side-tracked because of the association with you and the sensitive wildlife proposal. It's a shame, because it's clearly a sensible idea and should be considered seriously. SilkTork *YES! 01:07, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
King's Library edit
Hi. :) I wanted to thank you for your work on King's Library. While it is obvious you were not finished, the original article had come due for deletion due to copyright infringement, so I have used your draft to replace it. Hopefully, it will be expanded by interested contributors. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of En.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimi 66/Vermeer virginals in progress, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: A Young Woman Seated at the Virginals. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 20:05, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I've just tried to create a sub-page of my user page to work on an article, but may have given it the wrong URL, hence the above message. If the page is in the wrong place, I'd be very grateful if someone could either (a) delete it and let me know how to create a sub-page or (b) move it so it is a sub-page of my user page. Many thanks! BTW, I am familiar with basic HTML and page creation on a number of other platforms, but I'm afraid I have to say the only instructions I;ve found for creating sub-pages on Wikipedia baffling.Jimi 66 (talk) 20:18, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi! I'll take a look, hold on. --j⚛e deckertalk 20:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- Got it, it should now be at User:Jimi 66/Vermeer virginals in progress. What had happened was you created an article named "En.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimi 66/Vermeer virginals in progress", however the article was created, you didn't need to include the URL parts, you could have started with User:... -- it was easy to find when I looked at your contribution history. Yeah, subpages are handled a little strangely by Wikipedia. One other thing that may be helpful, if you go to the bottom of the Contributions page that I just linked, there's a link called "Subpages" which will list all of your current subpages. Useful for cleanup.
- I've also made two changes to your article draft, both of which should be undone when that goes live. We usually comment out the categories (userspace drafts shouldn't appear in normal categories, not until their live), and mark drafts as drafts (which helps prevent Google from indexing them and some other useful things).
- Please drop me a line on my talk page if I can be of any help! Welcome! --j⚛e deckertalk 20:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
