Greetings

Hi, Jim:

I doubt you remember me, but you helped once or twice in the past with a new article (though I forget which). How are you?

Thank you for your compliments on my Catalinas Norte expansion, and above all, for adding it to our growing collection of Spanish-language, Argentine-related pages on the English Wikipedia. I had meant to do it over a year ago, but you know how it is: time constraints get in the way, and a lot of little ideas end up forgotten (I don't know why I don't write them down). Having to fend off troublemakers in need of a life (and, consequently, with nothing better to do than disrupt us all), as I've been doing for about a week now, certainly doesn't help.

I'll be happy to add pages for some of the more notable buildings in Catalinas Norte. You may notice that I left a red-link for Bouchard Plaza (my favorite), and I don't see why I can't add a few of the others. The Sheraton, for example, was an excellent idea, since the "Hotels in Argentina" category is terribly incomplete. Having said that, I'll admit that my first impulse was to keep most of these as part of the Catalinas page by way of covering them with an umbrella article of sorts, since but for a couple of exceptions, these 30-odd story curtain walled buildings are very ordinary. And there is so much noteworthy architecture in Buenos Aires waiting to be translated from the es wiki.

A good place to start looking, if you're curious about Buenos Aires architecture or would like to add to the English-language list thereof, is in the Spanish-language counterpart to the Buildings and structures in Buenos Aires cat. The city can't hold a candle to London, Paris, or New York, but there are certainly a lot of unnoticed gems. A friend of mine from elsewhere in Latin America once told me, after visiting, that it felt like touring an outdoor museum (well, on a quiet summer Sunday, and sans the billboards).

Again, Jim, thanks for your note. Let me know what you think.

All the best, Sherlock4000 (talk) 18:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Retiring from Wikipedia

I wanted to let you know that I am retiring from Wikipedia effective this weekend. This is not to policy, other users, or Wikipedia itself. My priorities have changed in the fact I am engaged to be married later this year along with a job-related exam this October.

I wish to thank you for working with me on various issues in Wikipedia. Chris (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I did not respond to you sooner on this, but I plan on being done with this either today or tomorrow. Thank you for asking. Chris (talk) 17:23, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

About my new draft

Hi. I intend to incorporate the Liberty Place article by merging One and Two Liberty Place articles into Liberty Place. It is not ready yet though. There is still some missing information that I will hopefully get done soon. Then I'll get the information on the "live" article. Medvedenko (talk) 16:05, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Serial commas

Hey Jim. Another reason for using serial commas is that they eliminate confusion. Take the sentence "The government must provide roads, airports, hospitals and harbors." Courts have held that in construing the meaning of that sentence, the final phrase "hospitals and harbors" is a single term. In order to avoid such construction, a serial comma is used to clearly indicate that the two terms are distinct. I did not use serial commas for years because I believed they are unnecessary. But I started using them, convinced by the legal reasoning about clarity. - Tim1965 (talk) 16:04, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Oxford commas

Candi Milo was not born 1966, or 1954

Saw you wrote on her talk page that she was born in 1954 and later agreed with another editor that she was actually born in 1966. One of the many things that makes wikipedia unreliable is that rarely do people use sources like articles or interviews as sources, instead they use their own imagination. In every interview from newspaper articles to Rob Paulsen's Talkin Toons' podcast Candi Milo said that her birthdate is 9 January 1961. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radiohist (talk • contribs) 22:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Follow-up from "article translation deal"

Haha, I don't remember us making any kind of deal... But well, I'm translating other articles right now, so this one will have to wait a little. In the meantime, why don't you leave a notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Brazil, requesting help from more people? Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 02:56, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

WP:MOS

Hi. I have noticed you making some stylistic changes to articles that do not conform to the WP:MOS. Please review the MOS regarding punctuation inside or outside quotes. In Wikipedia, generally, the punctuation goes outside the end quote, unless it is inside in the source being quoted. Also, many editors do not prefer the serial comma (which is optional), so please do not add it to articles unless the regular editors of the article don't mind. In general, the MOS says ["defer to the style used by the first major contributor" unless a consensus can be reached to the contrary]. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 4:43 pm, 4 August 2011, Thursday (1 year, 6 months, 30 days ago) (UTC−4)

I prefer the serial comma, and recommend it, because if there is a list of three or more items, and the serial/Oxford comma is excluded, then the arrangement will look awkward, and certain parts of articles aren't supposed to look awkward, so the serial comma should not be optional, and because of this, I don't have a choice. If a serial comma is inserted, and it is reverted, then an edit war will start. Also, a period or comma can go outside the end quote except when the quote is a full sentence. Jim856796 (talk) 4:55 pm, 4 August 2011, Thursday (1 year, 6 months, 30 days ago) (UTC−4)

I disagree that it looks awkward. To me it looks cleaner, and the extra comma looks cluttered. If you have started an article, I will not remove the serial comma. If I have started an article, you should not insert it. Do not edit war. -- Ssilvers (talk) 5:01 pm, 4 August 2011, Thursday (1 year, 6 months, 30 days ago) (UTC−4)

We've gone through this before. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:15, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Boutique Monaco

Hi, I saw this edit of yours: [1]. "Winner" is clearly wrong as can be seen here: [2]. Care to explain? Srezz (talk) 11:52, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Actually, on the article, I just changed the word "winner" to "recipient". Is that okay with you, sir? Jim856796 (talk) 11:58, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

The use of the word "sister" when referring to properties of the same entity

Using sister to refer to related properties is common usage. Why does it have to be gender neutral? This is common English. I suppose you will want to change the Mother Road to something else also. There is no need to change what is correct because of PC or something related. Vegaswikian (talk) 15:54, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Introduction and Ask for Help

Hi Jim -- I posted this message to the Populous (Company) page a while back. Any chance you might be able to assist?

"Hello, all. I recently joined Populous as an employee and am seeking editors' help in making the company's page stronger per Wikipedia's guidelines. It seems the need for additional citations for verification stems from the article's introduction text. Does this sound right to you all? Thank you in advance for helping out a fellow with an obvious conflict of interest."

Tribunal de Paris moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tribunal de Paris, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Centro Empresarial Internacional Rio

The article Centro Empresarial Internacional Rio has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fran Drescher

Fran Drescher's legs were the only attraction of the "Nanny" show. At least for thinking men. And to describe them as long is polite for skirts barely covering the southern hairline. Cheers, Oalexander (talk) 06:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Wording

MOS:STYLEVAR states that "[E]nforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus, is never acceptable." It's quite telling that you only target the articles I successfully nominate for In the news Recent Deaths (i.e. George Armstrong (ice hockey), Sibusiso Moyo, Shingoose and now Thorburn). No one else's. Yet you don't contribute any content creation to these areas, other than your incessant nitpicking on one or two words (not to mention your misuse of the minor edit button). I'm not saying your apparent obsession and WP:WIKIHOUNDING over the articles I edit reaches the level of Wenger over Mourinho, but it's getting there … —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

You add 4 characters and mis-characterize that as a "simplification"? Wow, just wow. I'm not required "to accept such simplification" because it's not approved by consensus (you know, the way decisions on WP are primarily made). Show me an ITN that you've successfully promoted to the Main Page, then we'll talk. Until then, keep up with your obsession over my content creation – it's getting you nowhere. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:23, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bloom6132:, You have some explaining to do. Why do you insist on using the same "He/she was X" wording every time? I was trying to simplify the wording to make it look less blunt. These reversions tell me that you are trying to assert ownership of those pages.What excuses do you have? If another editor inserted this phrasing, and somebody else changed it to reduce bluntness, the editor who inserted it wouldn't care, but clearly you care. Jim856796 (talk) 04:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

You don't simplify by adding words. Your belief that my wording is "blunt" is purely subjective. Most sources use "He/she was X", so I see no problem in doing so too (here's ABC News and The New York Times, two of several recent examples I can provide). Each of the articles that you keep picking on have successfully went through the In The News process. Thus, consensus has established that those articles are at a quality that's good enough to appear on the Main Page. —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bloom6132:In other words, you must want the wording to look like a direct copy-paste from a major news source. At least you didn't insert the words "years old" at the end of that phrasing. On the Peter Thoburn article, only my first edit there was a simplification. I did ask you to stop reverting several times, but you kept on reverting the simplifications/re-phrasings anyway, thereby putting yourself at risk of a 3RR violation. Lucky for me, I have already asked User:Julietdeltalima for a third opinion regarding this last weekend. Jim856796 (talk) 04:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

WP:LIMITED applies here. So "a direct copy-paste from a major news source" in this case is permissible. —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:54, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I already saw on Saturday that you were talking about me behind my back. Hence why I said you had an apparent obsession with my edits. Yes, lucky for you. Because a third opinion is just that. It cannot overrule consensus that's been established by the community. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:19, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bloom6132: Does this guideline/policy mean you're required to use the exact same wording every time? I don't think so. And how dare you use the word "obsession"? If anything's making this an "obsession", it's your continued reversion of any simplifications or re-wordings of any sentence containing the blunt/strict "He was X", and your insistence on continuing to do so. At least my changes didn't alter the meaning of those sentences too much. I don't know why an uninvolved editor would've told you to stop your reversions themselves by now.

"how dare you use the word "obsession" – well, I dared. The same way you dared to target only the articles I successfully nominate to ITNRD since last November. Three months of persistent targeting and nitpicking demonstrates that it is indeed an obsession and WP:WIKIHOUNDING. The policy I cited was used to refute your insidious insinuation that I committed WP:COPYVIO. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:17, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bloom6132: Wow, judging by the way you've been acting towards me in the past couple of weeks, it would take a whole lot of begging (whether by myself or some other editor) to get you to stop your reversions. Jim856796 (talk) 04:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ventura Corporate Towers

The article Ventura Corporate Towers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lacks sources; no indication of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Line 4 (Madrid Metro), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Centro.

June 2024

Your recent editing history at Djamaa el Djazaïr 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; read about 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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Skitash (talk) 15:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Skitash How am I going to get blocked just for an expansion-translation effort that you're trying to hinder by reverting, especially if I've copied and pasted the same citations that were in the same section that I translated from the French counterpart article?

Declined Third Opinion Request

Hi Jim, I've declined your request for a third opinion as there are already more than two editors involved in the dispute. BoldGnome (talk) 06:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
