Regarding page reviewer

Thank you to everyone who recommended I try out the New Page Reviewer right, however, I have opted not to make it permanent nor do I intend on returning to it for as long as this message is up. New page reviewing doesn't seem to make sense to me given all I've ever used it for (mostly) was page reviewing redirects following bad article attempts. Even that part of Wikipedia has given me a small amount of stress, and I've had to back away from disputes to avoid making that stress worse.

In short, it doesn't make sense to me to keep a user right if I know I'm not going to use it as frequently, especially given I might leave Wikipedia within the next few years. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I was coming here to leave a message to you regarding NPP, and saw this. Too bad, we could use quality folks over there, but I definitely understand about the stress. Thanks for all you do. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

F-ion battery

Hello, JalenFolf. Thank you very much for your efforts on Wikipedia. Please do not delete the description about F-ion battery. The description by Smokefoot is completely different from F-ion battery. That description is about conversion type Li-ion battery and is totally incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thousandtalent (talk • contribs) 15:12, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

You are appreciated.

Thank you for all you do. I see you all over the Wiki, mostly on the obvious furry pages, but also on other subjects you're passionate about, like EDM. You inspire me to contribute, to WP, to the fandom, and beyond. Stay well, and stay safe. :3 JaredTamana (talk) 04:35, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Edits reverted

Hi, apologies if I have caused any annoyance with the edits I contributed. My reason for editing that page was to make it easier to scrap the city links via the “wikitable sortable” class tab. I am using it to build a dataset for a university project. Can you advise me on how I can edit the page in a more useful manner. I could add the populations of the cities if that would be preferred?

Thank you, James Jamescwells (talk) 22:23, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

@Jamescwells: While your edits might have been reverted, your edits are still visible in the page history for your retrieval and use off-site, if you still need this for a project. Any missing data, should tables be restored, can be obtained from census data, which is the common source for any population data listed on each city's Wikipedia article. However, if you're still intent on adding this information to the specific page yourself (note, this is referring to List of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants/country: T-U-V-W-Y-Z), good luck. With how much is missing, such a task might take a long time, and dependent on your assignment's deadline, might not be worth it. Jalen Folf (talk) 05:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Kevin T. Porter

Hey, JalenFolf. Kevin's page was my first attempt at a Wikipedia page. Curious to have some feedback on its reversion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smhn2012 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Smhn2012. In my reversion, I've linked two helpful links that relate to your issue. The first was WP:RS, our policy that all claims must be backed by sources proven to be reliable. The other is WP:REFB, as I noticed your method of sourcing is not in line with how we usually cite sources in articles. I will also add two more guideline and policy pages in this message. The first is WP:BLP; as the subject you are writing about is a living person, all claims must be sourced! And the other is WP:GNG; your attempt did not seem to demonstrate which guideline Porter passes. At this point, I highly advise writing and maintaining a draft at Draft:Kevin T. Porter and submitting through our Articles for creation process. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:ChicoryAColorfulTale.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:ChicoryAColorfulTale.png. 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) 17:26, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Me again

Hi!

You may have forgotten about me already—which is OK of course—but I'm wondering how I move pages. The Russian Central Committee articles seem to be titled wrongly.. For instance the article is titled "Central Committee elected by the 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks)" but official terminology was "Central Committee of the 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks)" and "Central Committee elected by the 7th Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks)" should be "Central Committee of the 7th Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks)" .. It would also reduce the title length, which I think would make the articles more accessible to readers.

Do you agree? If so how do I go about implementing this?--TheUzbek (talk) 11:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Open Mike Productions Wiki Page

Hi JalenFolf,

Hope you're well!

I just wanted to clarify that Off The Kerb and Open Mike Productions are separate entities (I work for Open Mike) so i am trying to establish the Open Mike page so that it doesn't automatically re-direct to Off The Kerb. Hope that makes sense, but please let mek now if it doesn't!

Thanks, Hannah — Preceding unsigned comment added by Changes1989 (talk • contribs) 09:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

In light of what’s been said about me at ANI, it is apparent that I can no longer edit safely on the English Wikipedia. You guys do what you want about my fate; I don’t want to be a part of this community anymore. Jalen Folf (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Um, one anon editor who has been editing in Wikipedia for a total of one day made a comment directed at you in ANI and you leave Wikipedia because of it? I really wouldn't be too hasty like that. Wait for the admins to actually review the complaint. In the meantime, I'm going to hat your proposal against yourself in ANI. Singularity42 (talk) 16:59, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Well, apparently, administration are not acting fast enough. Good bye and good riddance... Jalen Folf (talk) 19:38, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Why would administration act against you in response to baseless accusations from an anonymous IP? -- ferret (talk) 19:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

You are correct; though the IP's accusations do appear to be baseless, I have a feeling that part of what they're saying is right. Though I am well aware that the right thing to do in this situation is to improve myself, and despite my initial promises to never again edit the page they're harassing me over, the IP has also ratted out my lack of enthusiasm for editing on Wikipedia in general. I no longer feel comfortable editing on the encyclopedia, and it's not only because of that user's words. I applaud you for trying to advise me on the matter, but sadly with how my habits have been going, I do not believe it's going to help. Still, I am proud of my other achievements on this encyclopedia, and have a positive approach in seeing how this community can continue without me.

It was fun while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end. I do hope our paths cross again in the future. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm confused about this decision. You've been editing regularly for years, you're a respected contributor - what is it that makes you feel uncomfortable editing? Do what's right for you, of course, but I hope you don't feel you need to leave because someone has criticised a decision you made - even if on retrospect you think it was a mistake, that's OK, we're all allowed to make them. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:23, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

I've advised you for quite a long time. Girth has the right of it. We all make iffy edits now and then. If you aren't interested or enthusiastic about editing right now, by all means, take a break. If you had widespread issues in your editing, you know myself or other experienced editors would have commented on it. This is but one conflict with an IP who created an article and was unhappy with how the process went. I only glanced quickly, but my understanding is you moved it to draft, where it was subsequently declined at least once by someone else, so it would seem your action was not unfounded. -- ferret (talk) 23:20, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the support and advice, but my mental health is already too low for me to consider returning at this time. A failure to take action on the ANI thread, regardless of who it would be against, which now I cannot think about where I can take the thread without breaking civility policies, combined with the recent attack by Glam-girlz on this very Talk page, has left me with no choice but to stay off this encyclopedia indefinitely.

At this point, I don’t care what happens to the original IP I reported in that thread, given the user behind it hasn’t edited from it since my report. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:51, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough; you certainly seem as if you could use a break. Take one, as long as you need! What you're doing right now, though: posting "I no longer feel safe here, goodbye forever!", then checking both here and the ANI thread, waiting for the next comment, then posting, "I no longer feel safe here, goodbye forever!", twice a day? This can't be doing you much good. Ravenswing 11:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Jalen, to be clear as you've made two notes that you're still waiting on action in regards to ANI. Action is probably not going to happen. If either of those cases were critical or in need of action, it would have already happened. Punitive action against those IPs simply isn't going to happen, while on the other hand, the LTA attacks on you have been shiftly and immediately dealt with. -- ferret (talk) 13:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
