Welcome to my user talk page!

Please do all of the following:

Always link to the text, image, or edit you want to discuss. When linking to an image, use a colon. For example, "[[:Image:Example.jpg]]" produces "Image:Example.jpg".
Don't forget to provide a proper Edit Summary for each and every edit, and a proper signature for each and every post to a talk page or notice board. I may revert edits that do not have such features, rather than respond to them.
Reply to interactive messages at the location of the original topic to not scatter talk all around, fracturing the discussion. I do have nearly all pages I have posted to recently on my Watchlist. If I missed a comment, please use {{Talkback}} to drop me a short reminder with a link here.
Respect my babel boxes. Write in English. I'm also able to communicate in Spanish a bit, but with that language I can't give a guarantee that I will really comprehend the meaning of your message.
If you're copying files from any project to Commons, be sure to use the CommonsHelper.
If you're copying pics from Flickr, be sure to use Flinfo, the easy way to upload pics from Flickr.
If your text or image is lacking source, license, or permission, fix that instead of asking here what is wrong. There should be a message on your talk page explaining things in detail. Apologies for having to be so clear if this message is not related to the matter you would like to address.
Post here if you want to reach me, or reply to a post below via the edit link above that post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

E. Howard & Co.

Jeff,

I have published a book and numerous articles on Howard watches and I added information and corrected text in the article on E. Howard & Company in good faith. I do not understand why my edits were reverted. The admonition I recieved to cite sources strikes me as odd, since virtually no other sources are cited in the article. I was being consistent! The one item I removed from the chronology referred to the US Watch Co. and had nothing to do with the subject of the article. If you would like me to cite sources for my changes, I can certainly to do so, chapter and verse, but they would appear odd, since they would be the only facts thus cited in the article. The links I added, and which were removed, are quite valuable. They provide very detailed information on Howard watch products.

Hi, Dr. Geller, and thanks for writing and for creating an account. Yes, citations would be very helpful, particularly inline. The article currently has four references and two footnotes. Please see the set of citation templates at WP:CITATION. I have put back your changes. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 04:09, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Parable" reversion in article "Tahash"

From time to time I check "view history" of the article "Tahash." I noted with interest your reversion of additional material this date in the article "Tahash" pertaining to "Parable" with reference to Tahash. It appears that you did not read the (contributor's) linked article "Parable". I myself (after reading it) found the anonymous contributor's additions interesting and reasonable, since there is utterly no evidence to date for an historical appearance of a desert creature whose hide could be made into a single seamless curtain over 58 feet long and over 9 feet wide--even the cryptid elasmotherium is not so large. This fact does strongly suggest the possibility that the Talmudic accounts of tahash as an animal were intentionally parabolic teachings emphasizing the wonder of the power of Hashem and the uniqueness of Mishkan. I can see from the link to "Parable" that the descriptions in the Physiologus were actually Christian parables of Late Antiquity. I have read Physiologus and I am grateful for the insight. The possibility of "tahash" (denoting a wondrous creature specially created for the Mishkan) as a parable of the unique creative power and special favor of Heaven contributes to the primary etymological discussion of the causes of semantic change in the meaning of the word "tahash" over a period of 45 centuries. In the case of Talmudic parables, when the reader does not advert to the real intention of the writer and take account of the circumstances and the modes of expression of the historical and cultural period (milieu) of the writing, the actual teaching can be lost--curiosity and sensation ("WOW") takes the place of wisdom and understanding. This is precisely why Talmudic study takes years, as it should. (Read the wikipedia article on Gamaliel.) The ancients wished to impress upon their students and readers the greatness and uniqueness of the Revelation of Torah to Moshe and of the wisdom and worship of Israel as superior to the superstitions of goyim. Stories of wonder are calculated to pique the interest of the student and of the curious inquirer and increase the persuasive force of the rhetorical value of Tanakh leading to true wisdom. Reading the descriptive accounts of tahash in the Talmud fills me with wonder and admiration and appreciation for the mystery and wonder and power of Hashem. That seems to me to be their primary value. Regarding them as inerrantly factual scientific encyclopedic entries is missing the point, in fact is pointless. Consider with good will the possibility of reverting your reversion this date after reading the article "Parable". I leave that to you, and wish you well. Shalom.

Sorry about that. My reversion has already been reverted. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 14:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Wayne

I corrected something I know to be wrong without a source. But, why would you revert the distance from Ohio to Fort Wayne back to 20 miles? Have you been to Fort Wayne? I don't have a source that tells me the distance. The distance is fixed and measurable. It's not 20 miles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braveviking (talk • contribs) 08:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Walking the route from the center of Fort Wayne (the Allen County Courthouse on E. Berry St. between S Calhoun St. and S Clinton St.) to the Indiana-Ohio state line at S State Line Rd at State Rd 14, Jackson Township, IN via Google Maps, the distance in a nearly straight line is 18 miles (29 km), so I have put that in the article. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 15:24, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Beatles in Mono

Could you revert that IP again - I've run out of reverts for today. I did report him. Radiopathy •talk• 01:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Please be aware for future reference that 3RR has an exception for vandalism. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 01:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Ummm... this looks a little "sketchy". Per WP:STATUSQUO, esp.; and the IP's edit[1] is not vandalism, let alone "blatant". Rollbacking an edit like this is just not warranted: an undo with an edit summary is far more appropriate. No discussion on the talk page is happening, just reverts. What's up, guys? Long time no chat... Doc9871 (talk) 01:58, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, Doc. I have started a discussion at Talk:The Beatles in Mono#Availability. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 02:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I'd hate to see a good editor's Rollback privs scrutinized (as I've stated to you before). "Undo before Rollback", unless it's blatant vandalism, is some decent advice passed on to me. This IP's edit was certainly not vandalism by any stretch of the imagination, and he shouldn't have been reverted like this[2]: but rather like this. I just don't want to see you get in trouble, is all. Cheers, Jeff, and Happy Editing! :> Doc9871 (talk) 02:18, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flapjack

Hi, if you compare the edits I made to the Flapjack episode page, you'll see I didn't actually add any info at all. All I did was copy edit some sections and add fact tags to unsourced statements. Reverting the page still contains all these errors minus the fact tags.

e.g.

What's there now (after your reverts):

"Captain and ToeNeil" is the name incorrectly used for the pilot short that was supposed to originally air as part of Cartoon Network's Wedgies. After it was canceled for some reason, it was advertised as a bonus featurette on the Flapjack, Vol. 1 DVD. When the DVD was released, it was not on the DVD. At a later date, the series creator, Thurop Van Orman stated that Captain and ToeNeil was just a regular short and not the pilot. Captain and ToeNeil and the unnamed pilot will more than likely never be aired. A short clip of the pilot was shown on an interview with Thurop on cartoonnetwork.com.

Compared to my edits:

""Captain and ToeNeil" is an unaired short incorrectly identified as the non-broadcast pilot episode, and originally planned as a bonus feature included on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Vol. 1 DVD. Ultimately, the DVD was released without the short and Thurop Van Orman, the series creator, later stated^[where?] that "Captain and ToeNeil" was in fact not the pilot. The pilot itself has also never been aired, however, a short clip of the pilot was shown on an interview with Thurop on Cartoonnetwork.com.^[where?] There are no current plans to release either short.^{[citation needed]}"

In fact, rather than just reverting one edit, you mass reverted all of them which if you actually bothered to take the time to look you'd see was mostly nothing but copy editing for grammar, formatting, etc. In the future, you should take the time to actually look at what you're reverting.

List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters

I don't mean to object to the three-revert rule, but I would like to explain myself, if I may. As I am new to editing Wikipedia content, I made the mistake of discussing my edits via private message with 117Avenue (who has consistently undone every edit I have ever made). That is, of course, my fault. However, I would like to point out that my intent was not to "edit war;" I was trying to have a legitimate debate about the content. I would also like to point out that my edits are more in line with the Wikipedia Manual of Style MOS:IDENTITY.

Please excuse my initial ignorance of acceptable debate procedures. My only intent is a to encourage a fair and respectful discussion of transgender persons in the media. Thank you for your time. ATgirl (talk) 17:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Dubious" edits

I see that you routinely revert unsourced edits with the edit summary "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content." The particular edit which caught my attention, a table of leading goaltenders in the 1967 NHL season, is correct in every particular. The very next such edit of yours I checked has you claiming as "dubious" and "unsourced" changing the 'years active' date of a band planning an October release from "aug 2010" to "present." Among others is one where you use the tag to revert an item with the source and date named in the edit you reverted, your marking as "dubious" that The Graduate soundtrack reached the top of the Billboard album chart on April 6, 1968 (which, in fact, it did) and was knocked off by the album Bookends on May 25 (which, in fact, it was). Many of these reversions are packed closely together and target anon IPs, which begs the question as to whether you're just parking on Recent Changes and swinging at anything lacking an inline citation posted by someone who isn't an established editor.

Now this is very well and good, but it's a WP:AGF and WP:BITE violation both to hurl the word "dubious" at people when, in fact, the edits in question are accurate, and take only moments to ascertain whether or not they are. It is insulting to others to routinely categorize their edits as "dubious" and careless to do so indiscriminately without any notion as to whether they actually are. RGTraynor 20:26, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your concern. I am not "parking on Recent Changes", I am using huggle. "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content" is the de facto standard nomenclature used by huggle for reversions of unsourced content. You may try to change that status at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. If it makes you feel any better, I have removed "dubious" from my huggle.css file in this edit, but you may encounter resistance from hard-liners who insist that everything in every article (or at least every BLP) be sourced, making unsourced content "dubious" by definition. The hard line was defined when Jimmy Wales wrote 'There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.' in this message to WikiEN-l May 16 20:30:15 UTC 2006. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 01:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yossi Benayoun

Hi. I'm not sure why you made this revert to the Yossi Benayoun article. The edit you reverted was clearly itself reverting earlier vandalism. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:40, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The person who made the edit I reverted did not give a reason as to why they were removing "Judas" from (and adding "The Kid" and "The Diamond" to) a BLP. Yes, it turned out "Judas" appeared to have been maliciously added by 82.39.169.219 (who I warned in this edit), but where did they get "The Kid"? — $Jeff G. ツ$ 01:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In doing so, you removed five references. Why? — $Jeff G. ツ$ 05:56, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are not verifiable (some old magazines), and were added here. I am not vandalazing, just restoring the older stable version(79.117.152.9 (talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 06:02, 22 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]
