Please be aware that DIREKTOR is not the victim he tries to make himself out to be. The Syrian civil war is a polemical issue - the most polemical international issue right now. He has it in his mind that "mainstream media" (that being reliable news networks In North America, Europe, Austrailia and Japan) are completely biased in their reporting, and whether he realizes it or not, he believes that any user that repeats their reports or expresses any hint of sympathy to the conflict should be regarded as a suspicious user. Now I have gotten into soapbox debates with User:Funkmunk plenty a time, and so after reading these debates DIREKTOR is entirely convinced that my only goal on wikipedia is to push a view, particularly in favor of the opposition/rebel side. However personal views do not influence my input on wikipedia. Fact-checking, sourcing, and determining proper weight does. ] (]) 23:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC) | |||

They have been their loudest, strongest and most generous supporter, and have engaged the Syrian government with their own military numerous times.

I see only 3 users involved in the designing of the "compromise" proposal here. What's the rush? Please wait for the other editors (including me, Baboon, Jeancey, Sayerslle, and Darkness Shines) to respond to the proposal before implementing it. Until everyone has responded and there is a consensus to the proposal, the pre-edit war version needs to be restored, and I recommend the article to be locked until then.--] (]) 21:04, 25 March 2013 (UTC) | |||
:I'm sorry you didn't have the opportunity to comment before I lifted the protection, but if you are addressing me, I didn't implement anything, the other involved editors did. The original protection was only for 24 hours, so it would have expired by now, had I not lifted it. I would not feel comfortable leaving the article indefinitely protected until a formal consensus is reached, considering that this is something has proven to be nigh impossible to achieve in the past. I think the best course of action is for you to voice your concerns at the article talk page. I encourage you to temper your expectations, as the other users have shown a willingness to compromise that is quite commendable. If your request is something other than "remove Israel from the infobox" you may find them quite amenable to it.

I need to inform you that there is an issue where editors have been arguing over the positioning and presentation of the Syrian infobox despite my attempts to promote a middle ground (neutral lead infobox with competing governments in the Politics and Government section, similar to Libya in 2011) in wake of dramatic changes to the state of politics in Syria.

===1RR issue=== | |||
@Jake, i understand that in order to prevent constant edit-warring you decided to put 1RR restriction on the ] page (March 24 enforcement ). However, there might be a serious flaw in using the "Arab-Israeli arbitration enforcement" tool on Syrian conflict: first of all Israeli involvement is so far very limited in that conflict and hence it is not present in the infobox yet; secondly, even if considering Israeli involvement, it is not a part of the Arab-Israeli conflict (conflict between Israel and Arab League), but actually part of the ] (Iran is not an Arab country and of course is not part of the Arab League). Considering that Syria is suspended from the Arab League (see ), thus the "Arab-Israeli arbitration enforcement" on Syrian conflict is completely irrelevant. I suggest creating a new arbitration tool named "Syrian conflict arbitration enforcement" for 1RR enforcing on related articles to resolve this issue.] (]) 17:32, 25 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
:I agree. Most of the editors on the talk page agree that Israel is not a party in this conflict.--] (]) 14:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

:::I will clarify myself - you are not requested by us to do anything retroactively regarding the sanctions already imposed. The question is whether you can remove the ARBPIA tag from "Syrian civil war" article now and the editor community will ask to create "Syrian conflict arbitration" 1RR rule (i can start it), or you keep the ARBPIA tag on "syrian civil war" article (which me and many others think is not justified as the case of ]) until the editor community decides to create a similar "Syrian conflict arbitration" enforcement rule - specifically designated for Syrian civil war articles.] (]) 16:13, 28 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

::::Hi Jake, I expressed several concerns when starting the AfD, of which the BLP problems were only one (if I thought this was fixable by reverting to Fladrif's version I would have fixed it) so Diego's suggestion that all my concerns had been addressed is not correct - if this had been the case I would have withdrawn the nomination. Most of the editors who voted to delete the article did so ''after'' Fladrif re-removed the material sourced only to primary sources, so there seems to be no reason to disregard their votes, especially as many of the votes were clearly motivated by concerns over the notability of this concept which was one of the issues I raised in the nomination statement (none of the references linked these people together on the basis of the watch type) as well as concerns over this being a WP:COATRACK. Moreover, no-one actually voted to keep the article - Diego was the sole editor who didn't think it should be deleted, and he wanted to merge its content into another article (a position which attracted no other support).

:::::A merge is a !vote to keep content, and it was the only one based on policy in the whole discussion. I suggested the merge precisely to avoid the concerns of it being a coatrack, even if WP:COATRACK is not policy; and ''my'' concerns that a deletion would go directly against WP:PRESERVE were ignored; closing admins are supposed to assess the strength of arguments, ]; if the multiple similar opinions didn't include arguments, the discussion should be closed as no consensus - specially if the "per Fladrif" and "per nominator" were based on the PRIMARY argument, when the primary links had been corrected. In particular I cared about the summaries of the arguments given by the numerous newspapers included in the right column of the table; those would have been a nifty addition to the Denbeaux article and didn't have any BLP problem, but are inaccessible now that the content has been deleted. This is why deletion is ] and articles should instead be fixed by editing whenever possible. ] (]) 12:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::::Come on, Diego, lets get real here. There were 10 deletes and one merge. Many policies and guidelines were referenced in the discussion, so it's not just a headcount. Just because you don't agree with the other side doesn't mean you can just dismiss them. The only reasonable way of interpreting the consensus was "Delete". Let it go.

I Hate Sex
Dear Jake — I recently submitted a draft article on the band I Hate Sex for review. I didn't realize at the time that there was a previous version of the article that was deleted several months ago. Since you were the administrator who carried out the deletion, I wanted to invite you to take a look and provide feedback. Thanks! Qmwne235 14:58, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- As you mentioned on the draft talk page, your draft has non-primary sources. I'm very optimistic that it will be accepted. Thanks for your work on this! ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 15:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
LTA
That LTA you blocked is back as 49.186.59.12. - ZLEA T\ 06:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 13:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. For future reference, specifically which LTA was this one? I've seen them around, but I've never known which one it was. - ZLEA T\ 18:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, though I've also seen it before. User:Loafiewa was the one to report it to AIV the first time around, I wonder if they can tell us? ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. For future reference, specifically which LTA was this one? I've seen them around, but I've never known which one it was. - ZLEA T\ 18:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I feel kind of awkward starting a game of telephone, but I think BilCat is more familiar with their MO than I am. But from what I do know, it's an Australian LTA who edits military aircraft articles, adding 'that was' into the opening sentence, and whose edit summaries usually involve insults directed specifically towards the education/intelligence of Americans. Loafiewa (talk) 19:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, among other things, they tend to follow tedious prescriptivist grammar rules that either are no longer followed, or aren't applicable in American English. They're either very old or very young, or possibly both! Sometimes they engage in insults, and sometimes they don't. It's possible they're actually meatpuppets, but I really don't know. the location of the IPs in Australia can be from widely spaced cities, so it's hard to know. BilCat (talk) 22:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Goya Menor
I wanted to move this article to mainspace and found out that it was (correctly) protected by you. Can you kindly unprotect it? I’m keep tab on the article to keep away promo-socks. Best, Reading of Beans 08:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done! ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 13:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Jake. Best, Reading of Beans 14:26, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Block of User:Bomyy
I'm not sure I understand why you blocked this user. To be sure, there was some edit warring at Manipulation (psychology), but you blocked them for spam, and I don't see what is promotional about their edits. Can you please explain? WikiDan61ReadMe!! 19:57, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is the AIV report that I was responding to. The report states "all refs have this link." This is not the case, so I can certainly see why you reached out. That said, the user subsequently created a new sock account and resumed edit warring. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 20:55, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. WikiDan61ReadMe!! 21:44, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the help
I'll wait a while on resubmitting the Buck Arnold page, since I'm not sure how or why some of those decisions were made. You got me back the text and other information I'd researched and published, and as you can see, there were five references.
But again, I'll just wait a bit to do a resubmit. Thanks Hubdb39 (talk) 16:48, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm very happy to help. To understand why the article was speedily deleted, you can refer to WP:CCS. Based on WP:NCOLLATH, it's not enough to say that he was the head coach at a Division II school. If there isn't another way to make an assertion of notability, the other option is to find sources that discuss him in a substantial way. You can see WP:BASIC for more information about that. Please fell free to let me know if you have more questions. Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines and deletion processes are really complicated. Another great resource is to submit your draft for review, rather than moving it to article space. That way, if it still needs work, it will merely be declined, rather than deleted. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I did not try to delete Wiki pages
Sorry about this, but I wasn't trying to vandalize Wiki pages. All I did was a minor edit on a page involving programs on The WB 100+. It was just a mistake that it was vandalism. 173.207.89.188 (talk) 22:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Your edit was reverted by a vandal, which is why I deleted your talk page. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages, and please let me know if you have any further questions. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 22:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't like it when the edits were reverted by random people even though I was being honest about the edits, and especially bad users who likes to purge Wiki pages. 173.207.89.188 (talk) 23:02, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

- You should not have deleted this and you need to restore it. It was not eligible for G7 speedy deletion because there were good-faith recommendations for actions other than deletion in the ongoing discussion, the discussion was also no eligible for snow closure. Thryduulf (talk) 23:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't believe that the discussion precluded me deleting the page, so long as the page met the criteria for speedy deletion. WP:DP says, "Pages currently on proposed deletion or deletion discussion may be deleted through speedy deletion." ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 18:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Deletion discussions do not preclude speedy deletion - but only if the page actually meets a speedy deletion criterion, which this did not. Speedy deletion is explicitly only for pages that are uncontroversial, the existence of good-faith recommendations for something other than delete means deletion is controversial. Thryduulf (talk) 18:48, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't share that interpretation. Your recourse at this point would be to unilaterally reverse the deletion yourself or to open a DRV discussion. That said, I really think it would be unfortunate to waste more of the community's time discussing an ancient joke redirect. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Now at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2024 October 12#Misplaced Pages:JDELANOY because this is not a matter of "disagreeing with that interpretation" it is contrary to the explicit wording of the CSD policy. Thryduulf (talk) 19:22, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

User:JLCSan
Hi Jake! User:JLCSan got blocked but I think that the things they were saying on their talkpage about Tabacalera, specifically the name is not "Tabacalera, S.A." anymore, the type is not "Sociedad Anonima", the predecessor is also wrong, the date it was founded is wrong, it is not Defunct, Products are not those anymore, and the article is almost empty from what the company is and does..
is mostly, but not entirely, correct. Maybe you wanna take a look as a sanity-check? The block was completely unrelated to factual accuracy. I made some edits. Nothing makes sense on that article. Polygnotus (talk) 15:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into this. I blocked them for their conduct on the article, including edit warring and inserting promotional language. Unfortunately, they were not receptive to being asked to make requests on the article talk page, instead of editing the article directly, and seemed to be unwilling to work with us. They eventually resorted to making a legal threat, and I revoked their talk page access. All that said, I'm not surprised at all that there are some inaccuracies. Given the research you've done, do you think the article meets our notability guidelines? They did request that it be deleted at one point. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 18:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I did some digging, and they are not going to like what I found. Not a 400 year history; they started in 1945 in a dictatorship. Somehow they forgot to mention that on the timeline on their website. Polygnotus (talk) 21:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Updating Lemish page
Hi Jake,
Would you please take a look at this thread and advise me? I'd really appreciate it! https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Dafna_Lemish?markasread=331329314&markasreadwiki=enwiki#c-Axad12-20241101155900-TheBlueHeronofHopewell-20241101124200 71.168.164.97 (talk) 19:13, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think Axad12 gave you some really good feedback that mirrors a lot of my own suggestions. In keeping with that, I would start a new section on that page and only make a single request. There are two requests in your comment, so you would need to remove one and save it for later. Make sure you use
{{edit COI}}
at the top of the section and format the references correctly. Lastly, it's important to make sure that you are logged in when editing. Thank you as always for your patience and attention to our processes. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
