• • Welcome to Wikipedia,Jacona. To quote a bad movie from the 80s,"Some of us citizens are with you" (Nick Nolte in 48 Hours). I'm so glad you stayed all those years ago. 174.212.212.163 (talk) 20:41, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

White flight/segregation academies needing work

• Tipton-Rosemark Academy is largely a copyvio of an old school website (here). It's a big whitewash as well, as it plays a bogus "prayer in schools" story to explain why an all-white group of parents established an all-white school as the public schools integrated. A lot of work could be done here. Content needs to be updated for truth & pov/independence, sources need to be added, and copyright violations need to be removed/revdel'ed. Former names include Tipton Academy and Rosemark Academy.

Lost-cause terminology in Wikipedia: Antebellum

There are a number of articles that use the term "antebellum", a romanticized latin phrase, to describe places, times, people or events that occurred in the United States before the American Civil War. One particularly annoying instance is Antebellum United States, which redirects to Antebellum South, as if the pre-Civil War history of the entire United States was that of the South. That's pretty nasty. — Jacona (talk) 18:57, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

I have a problem.

This unsigned user 141.136.148.235 keeps deleting important page links on An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster and I think it’s the same unsigned user 89.164.105.189 that deleted the page links for no reasons. Would you please talk some sense into this user so he/she would stop? Thank you. Retrosunshine2006 talk 22:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Henry James Cambie Secondary School / citing newpapapers.com

Hi Jacona, I have limited time today to work on Henry James Cambie Secondary School, and I restored your work from Oct. 17. I also repaired the links to articles on newpapers.com, as linking to the WPLibrary clippings has problems for viewers who cannot login to WPLibrary. See the discussion here for how to convert the links. It's clunky and painful, and there are rumors that a bot may be in the works to do the conversions, but for now it's a manual correction.

The shared history of Richmond HS and HJ Cambie until 1953 complicates the narratives for each article. I haven't figured out how to address it, so any suggestions you have would be welcome. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 16:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

• Grand'mere Eugene, I appreciate your help! Unfortunately I’m very tired right now, taking care of someone else. I’m sure a good bit of my earlier work is fine, I just don’t have the energy right now. I have seen someone changing the newspapers.com links with a bot, I’ve been meaning to get it-it requires some configuration. If I see it again I’ll share the link. Thanks! — Jacona (talk) 19:11, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Grand'mere Eugene, Wikipedia:JWB is the tool I've seen others use to repair the newspapers.com links. I haven't tried it yet. — Jacona (talk) 23:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

copyvio-revdel template

Thanks for flagging up the long-standing copyvio on Christian Academy of Madison. You seem to have got a bit confused with {{copyvio-revdel}} (not surprising, it's not the easiest to work out) but for future use,

the parameters starting |urlX= are for recording where the offending material was copied from (in this case https://web.archive.org/web/20090210023053/http://www.caofmadison.org/).

The parameters |start= and |end= are for identifying the revisions that need to be revdel'd. These only need to be numbers, not urls, so |start= here was 309995750 and not https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Christian_Academy_of_Madison&oldid=309995750.

|end= should be the last revision before the final bit of offending material was removed. So if you removed it all in one go don't include you own edit. If it took several edits to remove it all, don't include you last edit in that series. In this case that would have been 1185160874. It doesn't actually matter if you do include that edit as most of us handling the request know what to look for and can easily unselect that last edit if needs be.

• Nthep, thanks, I really struggle with that template. On my browser (Firefox) the words start and end for the diffs appear-but there is no area that appears enterable. I’ll try moving to another browser next time. Thanks!! — Jacona (talk) 13:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• Nthep, I really, really appreciate this explanation! — Jacona (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

  no problem. There's a script you can install (User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js) which helps you out on filling out the template. Nthep (talk) 14:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1185299530 -- huh? jp×g🗯️ 21:34, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

• JPxG, I was going through my watchlist on my phone and somehow that happened. I reset it as quickly as I could. Sorry. — Jacona (talk) 01:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

  Yeah, I figured it was something along those lines, so I resisted the urge to take offense. So it goes... if that were my worst accidental revert I'd be happy :) jp×g🗯️ 02:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I made an edit classifying the Churches of Christ as nondenominational, and I noticed you reverted it. Was it because there was something wrong with the source as your edit summary said? If so, could you give me specifics? ThatJoshuaPerson (talk) 22:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
