I got your message about me making an nonconstructive edit to American Black Bear. I never made an edit to American Black Bear.... Besides, I never edited Wikipedia before either... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.67.242 (talk) 22:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it was someone else that made that edit, b/c I have never ever edited Wikipedia before. And I can assure you, I'm not lying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.67.242 (talk) 22:55, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

American Goodies

Please excuse my request to have American Goodies to be added as a retailer to the Mountain Dew page. Although this would benefit my business, my request's purpose was to enrich the reader's experience by helping them to find a retailer. I guess that is why Stateside Candy has been added to the list amongst others on articles such as the Lucky Charms one.

Email addresses

Who says where that email addresses are not allowed? For what reason? http addresses are allowed -- so why should email not be allowed? I did not find anything in the wikipedia policies, which prevents me froom showing my email address here. Please explain your reason to me -- soon.

Right here, one of our most important policy pages. Not only does adding your own email address make you vunerable to spammers, it is also a form of self-promotion, which is exactly what you are trying to do on the Automatic differentiation page by adding your own package--Jac16888 Talk 14:59, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain to me, why my contribution was deleted again (automatic differentiation). I did not see anything in any part of wikiepedia, which says anything about not leaving email addresses. Obviously it is allowed to leave http addresses. So why not email addresses? This is my email address! So -- show me some part in the wikipedia policies (which has not just been added by you) which tells me to remove my email address.

OK -- am I enabled to remove references to all other packages including their webaddresses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ExcessPhase (talkcontribs) 15:06, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not bother to read the link I provided? "Wikipedia is not a directory" "Contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and email addresses are not encyclopedic". You could, except that it would be petty and clearly your way of trying to make a point. Do you not see that it is clearly not appropriate to include in the list a package which can only be accessed by emailing you personally? How is anyone to know that its even the correct thing you would send back anyone, it could be a virus or stuffed with malware or anything--Jac16888 Talk 15:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inadvertant use of rollback

No, I'm fine that you refused to protect my page, I don't whine and complain when I don't get my way. What I'm NOT fine with, however, is that you made false accusations about my intentions, such as "this is simply another case of a user wasting time with pointless requests simply because they can, or because they want more hats". That was more than rude. As an administrator, I truly believe you know better than to make personal attacks without understanding the entire situation, and the intention of the user who requests the page to be protected. --Bryce Wilson | talk 10:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! From a noob looking for some insight from a seasoned editor.

Hello Jac16888,

I hope all's well. I admit I was a little upset that you deleted my talk page, but then realized that it was a talk page I inadvertently created while trying to sign-up for an account and then couldn't figure out how to delete. Thanks for that!

If you wouldn't mind humouring me a little further, I am a student at the University of Toronto as part of our course we are required to pick an article to edit and engage with the Wikipedia community and then write a paper on our experiences. I'm finding that the article Telecenter isn't active at all... Is there anyway I can engage the editors (some of whom haven't edited since 2007) or even beacon people to join in? Also, I was thinking about 'testing' Wikipedia's correction abilities by planting obviously bogus information. How could I do this without upsetting any of the editors? I've already put up a banner on the talk page to point out that I am editing the article for the purposes of an assignment - I've provided links to the course page etc.

Please advise.

Kind regards,

Our course wikipage: INF1001

Hey there. I'm not Jac, but a guy who's got Jac's talkpage watchlisted. So, to start off on your points: Planting bogus info would constitute disruptive editing, if that's something your instructor wants you to do, than I'd suggest telling them that it could result in a block from editing. Try looking at Category:Wikipedia suspected hoax articles, or see Wikipedia:Do not create hoaxes for more info about why you are not supposed to create hoaxes. About Telecenter (I assume you mean Telecentre), I'd suggest contacting the top five editors, 169.139.19.228, 212.234.43.1, Koda Traore, Fernant and Simesa, along with the latest contributing editor (76.168.194.144) by starting a discussion about collaboration on the article's talk page and posting (Template:Talkback on their talkpages. Another idea is to ask someone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing, which is a group specifically designed to help collaborations on such articles (the article's talk wasn't tagged with any of these groups, so I chose the most likely one). Hope this helps. Welcome to Wikipedia, mon ami! See you around! Buggie111 (talk) 00:16, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Hello Jac16888,

I just wanted to thank you for your useful tips! I visited the wiki project pages you recommended. Even though I didn't manage to garner interest in the article, I did manage to get some good tips from knowledgeable Wikipedians in the field.

Hopefully the article will start to look better as of this evening...

All the best,

Hey Jac16888,

It's me again, I figured I'd keep this message within the 'Thanks' heading to avoid making your talk page even longer. On the Telecenter article that I have begun editing, we have a notes "and" a references section, is this necessary, or would it make more sense to consolidate all the reference? I noticed this as I surfed through articles that have been characterized as good.

I would have asked this on the telecenter discussion page , but it seems like I'm the only editor at the moment :/

Thanks for your help, A junior Wikipedian Mrawahi (talk) 15:06, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Mrawahi, you're right, generally you keep related discussions under the same heading, just to make things clearer. As for telecentre, in this case I'd say you're spot on. Some articles have seperate notes and references sections because the notes are actual notes (e.g. it should be noted that bob was a woman), but in this case everything under the notes section is clearly actually a reference, so the article would be better if the notes section was called the references. However, the actual links in the current reference section aren't being used to reference anything specific, if that makes sense, rather they appear to be there as general reading material. My advice would be to first rename the note section to references. Then, I would have a look through the articles in the current refs section to see if it can be used as a direct citation for any text within the article (the same ref can be used as a cite for multiple points, see WP:CITE), then I would combine any you can't use for citations with the External links section and call it Further reading. Then, if you feel up to it I would suggest going through that section and pruning it where necessary, I suspect some of the links don't meet our Wikipedia:External links policies. Hope all of the above makes sense to you, not 100% sure of it myself. Best of luck--Jac16888 Talk 15:30, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AFC page

I had just taken a glance to the revisions history and I already wanted to contact you. What kind of content? Inline text or a whole article? I have found a reference to that template for the procedure to request translations. If I must add the article to translate, I shall do that suddenly.

Mormegil 87.18.30.152 (talk) 20:08, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I don't really understand you. The article is already in English, so there is no need for the template. If you're wanting to have the article translated from the Italian wikipedia, you need to follow the instructions at WP:TRANSLATION--Jac16888 Talk 20:30, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From that page:
If the English article does not yet exist,
  • you must first create the article on English Wikipedia as a stub article, explaining or defining the subject of the article in a sentence or two;
  • then immediately tag your stub article with a translation template, as above.
Mormegil 87.18.30.152 (talk) 20:36, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well there you go then, wait for some at the AFC page to move it to the mainspace then add the template from that page--Jac16888 Talk 20:39, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See if I understood. I should leave the article like I had written it and wait it is approved. Then I should insert the template. Is it right? (Really I am sure I did not understand nothing of what you have written....)

Nexialism deleted in 2008

Hi, I propose to restore this page for the following reasons:

  1. the term becomes more popular. We're launching a project with this name in my company...
  2. there is a good page on the topic in the french Wikipedia
  3. there is a red link to it on A._E._van_Vogt and The_Voyage_of_the_Space_Beagle
  4. I searched for it, so it should have existed ;-)

What do you think ? if the article was a stub shorter than the french article, I volunteer to do the translation from french.

--User:Goulu 13:37, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The page as it existed in 2008 was simply a redirect to Connectivism. If you want to create a new article then by all means go ahead, although with regards to what you said about your company, please bear in mind WP:COI--Jac16888 Talk 14:17, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to inform you that your page was posted at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_suspected_hoax_articles - someone put that this page is a hoax?

Southern Adventist University 2008 Knife Attack deletion

I noticed you deleted my "Southern Adventist University 2008 Knife Attack" article.

I did not have a chance to insert my sources before you deleted it. Could you please re-instate it so I can add sources so it will become a legitimate article? I understand why you deleted it, but I had not finished with it yet. Thanks.

None of those sources have anything to do with your article as far as I can tell, and even if they did they're don't appear to be reliable sources. You cannot make articles accusing people of serious crimes unless you have some excellent sources (i.e. reliable news articles), unreferenced accusations are a good way to get sued. If you're able to come up with some usable references I suggest you try starting the article again in your userspace--Jac16888 Talk 03:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you re-instated the article in my user space since so I don't have to start over again from scratch then? The sources are from the school's newspaper compilations. You have to do a CTRL+F to search for the info about the attack since it is mixed in with other stuff. That's as reliable as you're going to get when it comes to small town disturbances like this one.

I'm new to this and I'm just trying to figure out how everything works. Thanks for helping me out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swallace35 (talkcontribs) 03:19, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If thats the best sources you can get, they're just not good enough. Also, looking over the article again, it doesn't seem to actually be notable enough for an article, the lack of sources suggests the same. I'm not going to restore it because without sources its potentially libellous, if you can come up with something better and which suggests notabilty of the event I'll consider it--Jac16888 Talk 03:31, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jac16888,

I mean no disrespect, does the following Infobox template look like the english "Military Unit Infobox"? I do not mean the attributes after the "=". That is what I'm trying to fix without any hassle.

Space Technology Hall of Fame

Please help me. There is a page for the Space technology hall of fame that should read Space Technology Hall of Fame (initial caps). This is a legitimate honor bestowed upon space innovators -not a for profit corp or revenue-producing venture. I ahve tried unsuccessfull for two years to figure out how to fix the incorrect title. So I created a new page with the same info with plans to delete the old page and fix links. That backfired when you deltede the NEW correct page. So, can you delete the OLD page or correct the title by capitalizing the name.

Second, we don't want the content as it stands anyway, it is a blatant advert and I have deleted it again for that reason.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Analytic Sciences Corporation

Night of the Big Wind (also posting to Jac16888's Talk Page):

A tag has been placed on The Analytic Sciences Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam andWikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Night of the Big Wind talk14:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

  • I was very surprised to find your notice of "Speedy deletion" for this article. Where is the "unambiguous advertising"? The article cites either facts or (in one instance) a claim by TASC, namely its self-description -- caveated by statement "The firm describes itself as" thus making this also a fact-only statement. The entry's tone is decidedly neutral, with no word of praise and few (if any) qualifying adjectives. PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY: (1) The firm is new, so there is little history or information available -- that's why I wrote it. (2) What you seem to have taken for "unambiguous advertising" is in fact rather negative. If you had read through the entry carefully, you should have noticed that the firm has had: (a) very few wins of note since inception, (b) an initial period of firing (clearly implied by the spate of rehiring), and(c) an unflattering (but straightforwardly and factually stated) origin, namely TASC's spin-off by Northrop Grumman driven by new need to comply with WSARA, not because anyone had identified the spin-off as an advantageous business decision -- all information TASC no doubt would not like to have "advertised" in a highly factual, neutral account like the one I have written. Perhaps if I had written an article with some kind of bias or motive (as your flagging has suggested), then you woud not have missed the implications of the entry -- the price of even-handed, neutral writing?
  • Further, let me state here clearly that I have no affinity nor affiliation with TASC: can you please state the same?

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

  • Please take a moment to look at author profile pages before making such generic statements
  • Overall, please be sure to read both articles and about authors more carefully before you slap inaccurate assessments on them

Hello,

I created a wiki page about bed linens in Bulgarian language but it was deleted from you because it is similar to "Bedding" - I inserted some unique to our region information and I am willing to continue expanding the topic even creating topics related to it.

Hey there,

You've made quite a mess out of this article. You may want to clean up after yourself. You may also want to address the crowd about this at WT:ANIME, because I doubt your changes will stick for long if left undiscussed. Regards, Goodraise 12:35, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh bugger, didn't realise they were actually transcluded, I've reverted myself. I stand by my rationale though, they are just excessive fancruft, like lists of every garfield or snoopy comic, and intend to get rid of them properly when I have a spare moment--Jac16888 Talk 12:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if your rationale boils down to "chapter titles are fancruft", then you may consider yourself reverted. The chapter titles of a notable manga are no less legitimate as article content than the episode titles of a notable television show. Goodraise 17:32, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well lets see. I'd say the comparison is less that of tv shows & episodes, and more like a list of comic titles. We don't list the title of every spiderman/batman/superman/etc comic, but rather each collection/storyline, as is already done on the main page. Second of all, for almost all of them the editors adding them have not bothered to translate them, and the ones they have are translated poorly, as happens when you try and translate a name. Third of all, the chapter titles are entirely unnreferenced so we have no way of knowing if they're even accurate. Finally there is the fact that the seperate articles are entirely without context or content except for the tables, no referenced content, not even an explanation of what the page is or a link to the main page--Jac16888 Talk 17:42, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To keep the discussion focused, I'll respond to your first point only for now. What makes you think a manga chapter is more akin to a Spider-Man comic than to an episode of a television show? I can't say I know a lot about Spider-Man comics; I'd have to guess as to what exactly a collection or storyline is in this context. On the other hand, I don't see a flaw in my analogy either. The only difference I see is that one is primarily aired and watched on TV, while the others is primarily printed and read on paper. That does not seem to me to infer that the titles of one are of greater importance than the titles of the other. Goodraise 19:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd prefer you respond to all points, unless you're unable to. I was going by comics because the two are similar genres (regularly/weekly released cartoon books etc, plus manga is japanese for comic). There are other differences, for example tv shows do not have thousands of episodes, you'll note that the shows do that, i.e. soaps such as General Hospital, (which has a staggering 12,000 episodes) there is not list of episodes, there are broad history articles instead. The shows we do list episodes for are generally referenceable, for each individual episode title and more--Jac16888 Talk 19:19, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, let me elaborate on why I'd rather discuss your first point first. a) Your other points have relevance only to the redirected pages and b) discussing them will have been a wasted effort if your first point is accepted by consensus. (I don't know about you, but I'd rather not waste time discussing potentially moot points.) c) If manga chapter titles are fancruft and should be removed, they'd have to be removed from a whole lot of other pages as well. Even if I were to concede all your other points as entirely true and endorse redirecting of the pages in question here as the logical consequence, your first point would still need to discussed for all those other pages. d) The strongest argument I currently see against redirecting, that being the current state of the volume list discouraging even the addition of chapter titles in a hypothetical proper way, relies on the chapter titles not being fancruft.

Returning to the part of our discussion spawned by your first point. Well, I suppose we can agree that similar things ought to be treated similarly. As you point out, TV shows don't have thousands of episodes, except for the shows that do. It's the same with manga series. They don't have thousands of chapters, except for the ones that do. Excuse me for repeating myself, but I still don't see a relevant difference here. What I also don't see is unverifiable (let alone unreferenceable) content on these pages. All you have to do to verify one of the titles is to pick up the volume in which the chapter was published. Where's the problem with that? Goodraise 05:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[[WP:OTHERSTUFF|The existence of other such similar articles does not justify the existence of these. I think you've missed my point when it comes to tv & comics vs manga, what I was trying to say is that in the case of comics, and tv shows with a great deal of episodes, we don't generally list every episode, we have a broad summary articles instead, that is the comparison I was trying to make, and asking someone to go take a look for themselves is not how we verify things, you could say the same thing for anything, there needs to be reliable references. The current volume list is quite long, but there is no reason it can't be broken down again into more sensible articles. For example, you could create an article which has the volume titles and instead of listing the chapters has an actual summary of each volume, which IMO would be a lot more useful to anybody than a list of chapters. It could include useful & verifiable content such as sales, critical reception etc. However this all depends on editors being willing to make an effort which, considering the people responsible for the articles can't even be bothered to translate most of the titles, is unlikely to happen--Jac16888 Talk 11:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how OTHERSTUFF is relevant here. It's not as if I tried to justify an article's existence with the existence of similar articles. Curiously enough, you are trying to use the equally invalid inverse of OTHERSTUFF: "There is no article 'X of A' so there should not be an article 'X of B' either." You see, I perfectly understood what you were saying. What you need to understand is that we're in this discussion for different reasons. I don't particularly care what happens to these lists. What I'm concerned with is whether manga chapter titles should ever be listed in Wikipedia articles. Unless you concede that this is proper under normal conditions, I'd be wasting my time arguing with you about whether it should be done under extraordinary circumstances such as a series of exceptional length like Kochikame.

Well, I don't know about you, but when I verify something I do go take a look for myself. And when I write articles, I provide my prospective readers with the means to do so also. In most cases I do so using footnoted references. In some cases, however, a reader would be justified to consider their intelligence insulted if I did that. This is one of those cases. It should be obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that the source of the title of a chapter is the book the article says the chapter is in. To put it yet another way: There's reliable sources there; they're just not repeated in the references section.

Seeing as you keep voicing your opinion that manga chapter titles are fancruft, you'll excuse me for repeating that you have yet to produce a rationale for that opinion. I certainly hope I'm not asking too great an effort of you with this. Goodraise 15:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons for deleting the page gives me the impression that you were under the impression that it was malicious and intended to harass an individual. This was entirely not that case and was intended ( and received as) a practical joke and the named individual indeed enjoyed it.

consider the vast majority of articles on wikipedia are very incorrect on what they say and are usually edited by young children. In actual fact if you use wikipedia as a source of infomation on any education project you will be asked to do the whole thing again, so I don't know how you would differentiate between a "malicious" article and a non malicious article. especially since around 40% of this article is factually correct...considerably more than most of the "informative" articles on the site — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.251.252.70 (talk) 16:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

actually not every "idiot" would, I know from doing university reports that you do follow the sources, you know but not everyone does. Wikipedia has never been proven to be a reliable source and most of the source links on almost every article are either broken, outdated or somehow made up

you just said wikipedia articles are accurate...and now you say wikipedia is not a reliable source don't contradict yourself. and on some articles where I know they are completely wrong yes I do check the sources and as for wasting time...you have deleted near 23,000 articles...for what purpose? there's around 10 million english articles I doubt very much the odd joke article would make a difference to the integrity of the already battered wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.251.252.70 (talk) 17:02, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I said Wikipedia is accurate, which by and large it is, however that does not make it a reliable source. Didn't they teach you in school that you don't use an encyclopedia as a source? Why are you checking the sources of such an unreliable place then? Just go use something else to help you with your homework. Yes, thats 23,000 useless pieces of crap, like yours, and deleting every single one made this place better and less "battered". I'm not interested in discussing this further with you, your page was deleted because it didn't belong here. End of story--Jac16888 Talk 17:06, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the sources to see where the incorrect information came from and no, not until I did my own project in college was I properly told about sourcing, however I was never daft enough to use wikipedia in any way so it was never an issue and the article wasn't even mine, but if it brought laughter to several people, people enjoyed writing it is it really useless? consider most of the information on wikipedia is incorrect anyway the article probably had more of a use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.251.252.70 (talk) 17:11, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's how you antagonize someone. We've already shown that they won't get anywhere with threats (after all, they're blocked, aren't they?) - we don't need to punch them in the face with truth. We want to be nice about this. m.o.p 19:03, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and also - common sense dictates that we should not speak for the Foundation when it comes to legal matters. We're supposed to block, explain and ignore until an apology comes forth. We are not lawyers or the WMF's legal counsel; we don't have the right to give definitive statements on how the law works, no matter how thorough our understanding of it is. That's the second reason I'd strongly suggest reverting your edit. m.o.p 19:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see how it's remotely antagonising when it's just pointing out a page they should have already been shown, and I fail to see why exactly we should be nice about this. This is a person who is angry at not getting their own way so they threatened another editor, that doesn't suggest they're somebody we want editing here anyway. And your second point makes no sense whatsoever, I was pointing them to a well known page that clearly and simply demonstrates why they have no legal right to edit Wikipedia, if you don't agree with that then I suggest you MFD WP:FREESPEECH. I stand by my comment, and see no convincing reason to remove it, if it causes Natty to react badly then it will just demonstrate further that they should not be here--Jac16888 Talk 19:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't seem entirely constructive, that's all. If you had presented it in a 'nicer' format ("Here's our page on free speech and how it's relevant on Wikipedia!" or something), that would be OK. As it stands, it just seems like another kick at the downed horse. And why we should be nice? Because we should always be nice; I see no reason to be dismissive or spiteful towards anyone. That's a personal opinion, of course. Doesn't matter, though - I'll let the comment stand, even if I disagree with the intent. Cheers, m.o.p 19:18, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maxime Old

Hi, I am annecaro961, and I was working on an art designer Maxime Old when you choose to delete it. The reason you give is "unambiguous advertising". This artist is dead and has been well known enough to be in charge with many liners' decoration since the 30th. Actually we do have an exibition about The paquebot France wright now in Paris, anf any of his contribution are displayed. That why I have decided tou write this article that has been accepted on french wikipedia. Thanks to tell me if you coud give me access back to my page thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annecaro961 (talkcontribs) 14:07, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted because it was extremely biased and promotional, Wikipedia articles need to be neutral--Jac16888 Talk 14:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I dropped {{firstarticle}} on Annecaro961's talk page. Might help them out. --GraemeL (talk) 14:37, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Henri Hebert-Allemond Page

Why did you delete my page? It wasn't vulgar and it didn't violate anything. It was a true bio... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henri Hebert-Allemond (talkcontribs) 02:01, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop completely removing everything from this page simply because you believe it's been auto-translated.

Firstly, English isn't everyone's native language and when they type in it, it can become quite difficult to understand. This does not justify however, completely removing someone else's work. Your time would be better spent helping clean the content.

Secondly, you haven't any proof that it's been auto-translated. Information on this subject is hardly written anywhere, and it is extremely unlikely any such written information is available on the Internet, and especially not in a textual format given that it would be in Urdu.

Thank you for refraining from abusing your editor privileges in the future.
