User talk:JBW#Move/delete request for Draft:Public image of Donald Trump

OMG what are you doing deleting a page I just made to start to make notes about a topic I will be writing about on Wikipedia. What are you doing? This is my private page for my notes about a history topic. DOn't do that. CDA 07:55, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|CDA}} You created your test in the main encyclopedia, not in user space. You may use your personal sandbox(User:CDA/sandbox) for tests. Note that even your personal sandbox is not private; all edits to every page on Wikipedia are public. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{tpw}} I did such a thing when I first started out; it got deleted. Man, was I pissed. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:20, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|CDA}} I see you've now had messages from a whole string of editors trying to clarify things, both here and on your talk page. (Two pages in "User talk" namespace.) I hope it's all clear now, but let me know if you have any more questions. JBW (talk) 10:51, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

I think this is a very plausible misspelling of "conjunction" (c.f. the search results both on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?fulltext=1&search=Conjuction&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 enwiki] and [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22conjuction%22 google]). So I think it would be a good idea to recreate Conjuction (which you had deleted in 2016) as a redirect to Conjunction. Duckmather (talk) 00:18, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

:Note: I've boldly started fixing the onwiki misspellings, so the enwiki search results you'd see might be fewer in number, but my point still stands. Duckmather (talk) 00:20, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{ping|Duckmather}} I must have changed over the last 9 years, because now it seems to me like a perfectly likely typo. By all means go ahead and re-create it if you like. JBW (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @JBW. I’ve let the editor who made the edit at Weslaco High School you reverted know that it was reverted, and we discussed about what would happen if that kind of editing continues, and they understood it. Wbm4567 (talk) 03:01, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

: Using one of your sockpuppets to tell another one? How stupid and pointless. JBW (talk) 09:32, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, @JBW

I am reaching out as someone involved with Dataliva, a company I currently work with. We have been trying to publish a Wikipedia article about the company, but our submissions have been declined. We understand that Wikipedia has strict guidelines regarding notability, neutrality, and sourcing, and we genuinely want to follow all the necessary policies.

Our goal is to contribute a well-sourced, neutral, and encyclopedic article that meets Wikipedia’s standards. If there are specific issues or improvements needed—whether in content, tone, references, or formatting—we would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you could offer to help us move forward and eventually have the article accepted.

Thank you in advance for your time and support. NourNaim88 (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi. You deleted the page on 2 May as G4 citing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prosecution of Paul Chambers. From what I can see from the logs and notices, this was a different version written by a different Wikipedia contributor, so I must question whether G4 should have applied. Anyway, looking at the AfD either version probaly needs additional work on sourcing, so I'm requesting that restoration to draft be considered. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:31, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I have come across User:Xover's Son who has claimed to be what the username suggests. I considered asking User:Xover, but they have not edited since November 2024. What do you think about this? QwertyForest (talk) 10:54, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

I see you have experience with the topics of outing/doxxing/harassment, etc. I just got an idea and wonder if it could go anywhere, so I'll air it for you. Maybe it's crazy or unworkable, or maybe it could lead to less confusion about these matters.

What if we made it a rule that editors should only address each other and refer to each other by their official usernames, unless the editor has expressly stated on their user page (make an official template for this purpose) how they would like to be addressed (if it's something else they would prefer or allow)? This would make it a bright line and clear matter, with no doubts or interpretations left for discussion.

Because editors' security is a frequent issue here, especially with the growing targeting of political opponents and editors here in the real world, and the prominence editors here achieve because every edit and comment is public (think of the Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation lawsuit), I feel this might help to prevent anyone getting close to using real names as intimidation when it is not necessary. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:31, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, JB. Could you keep 192.156.111.202 from editing International Game Technology? I reported to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1290275968 COIN] but nothing's happening.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:10, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I've edited User:JBW/sandbox5 to prevent the manual categorization into :Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 03:29, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

: {{ping|Eejit43}}. I meant to remove that, and forgot. Thanks. JBW (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Wordain socks have returned and I've listed them at his sockpuppet investigations page, having spotted a whopping 3 accounts made this past month to restore their reverted edits. Still curious why he's not site banned at this point. MimirIsSmart (talk) 15:14, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I have nominated the page they created (Draft:Karthik S. Ganesh) for deletion as I suspect it is an attack page, per the reasoning on the talk page. Dorsetonian (talk) 10:14, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

: {{ping |Dorsetonian}} I think you are probably right, so I've deleted the draft. JBW (talk) 10:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, JB. I'm sure you're able to narrow down [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&end=&namespace=all&start=&tagfilter=&target=46.112.0.0%2F16&offset=&limit=100 this range] to just the IPs which have been adding the massive amounts of Polish links.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:29, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
