That’s the story my uncle always tells meabout the story of the 1919 "fantom" [sic] but in your edit you provided a private school source that you claimed you had accessed. I find it hard to believe that a source named ""Carey Policy and Guidlines [sic] Directory" is recounting tales about an anonymous student from more than a century ago. So which is it? Are you recounting tales that you uncle told you, and just throwing in an unverifiable source to make it look good, or does the school policy page really contain some hoary quasi-ghost story? If you can provide a screengrab of the policy page that you are referencing that would settle things. Meters ( talk) 20:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Alan Jackson in 1996.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

Hello @
Carey3146. I noticed that you reverted back to listing multiple occupations for
Alan Jackson (businessman) in the |occupation=
parameter of {{
Infobox person}}.
Per {{
infobox person}}, |occupation=
is for "Occupation(s) as given in the lead.
". Note that a title or a position is not an occupation. I think the lead accurately captures that he was a "businessman
", although I would be open to changing that to "business executive
" or even "corporate executive
". While it is tempting to want to add more in the lead or in |occupation=
we need to be mindful of
MOS:ROLEBIO, which states:
Avoid overloading the lead paragraph with various and sundry roles
Remember, too, that
MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE says to "summarize key facts
" and:
The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance.
I do not think adding "accountant", "director", and "land developer" warrant a place of prominence in the infobox.
But I am open to hearing good-faith arguments based in Wikipedia guidelines for including them. What do you think? —
Archer1234 (

|occupation=
infobox parameter so that all of them call him a "business executive". If we change one of those, we should change all of them, although I do recognize that the disambiguation for the article title says "(businessman)", but that shouldn't dissuade us from making appropriate changes within the article. We can revisit the name of the article after settling on this issue.|occupation=
there is an option to use either |title=
or |office=
(but not both) to list notable positions or titles he has held. Again, we should take our cue from what is summarized in the lead and not use either of those parameters to list various and sundry positions.Thanks for uploading File:Alan Jackson in 1996.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Carey3146, it does not appear that you have been specifically asked this question, so can you please respond as to whether you have a connection and therefore WP:COI with Jim May? I note in particular that you have uploaded the photo in the infobox of the article as your own work. Is this accurate? Thank you, Melcous ( talk) 15:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Please read WP:OWN, which you have not quite exhibited so far. A matter of some concern with this article and with Jim May is the sheer quantity of both edits and marginal (often less than marginal) references you have added to the article(s). Without this attention from you neither article would have drawn the attention of detail oriented editors.
I feel it to be unlikely that Jackson will be brought to the wider attention of the community at AfD, but cannot rule it out. At present I see some sort of notability. The article, however, requires the cutting of any "fact" unable to be verified. WP:V is one of the major tenets of Wikipedia, and is not optional. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Jim May (chemical engineer), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please also not that citations should provide a link to content that actually verifies the information in the article, not to a generic home page or search. link which you added to the article multiple times does not provide any verification of anything about May at all.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Carey Baptist Grammar School, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Meters ( talk) 07:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to remove maintenance templates without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Carey Baptist Grammar School, you may be blocked from editing. Stop doing this. The cited source does not support most of the claims in that paragraph. The only claim it supports is that the school was founded on 13 February 1923.

Thank you for uploading File:Alan Jackson in 1996.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 08:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello @
Carey3146. I noticed that you reverted back to listing multiple occupations for
Alan Jackson (businessman) in the |occupation=
parameter of {{
Infobox person}}.
Per {{
infobox person}}, |occupation=
is for "Occupation(s) as given in the lead.
". Note that a title or a position is not an occupation. I think the lead accurately captures that he was a "businessman
", although I would be open to changing that to "business executive
" or even "corporate executive
". While it is tempting to want to add more in the lead or in |occupation=
we need to be mindful of
MOS:ROLEBIO, which states:
Avoid overloading the lead paragraph with various and sundry roles
Remember, too, that
MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE says to "summarize key facts
" and:
The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance.
I do not think adding "accountant", "director", and "land developer" warrant a place of prominence in the infobox.
But I am open to hearing good-faith arguments based in Wikipedia guidelines for including them. What do you think? —

|occupation=
infobox parameter so that all of them call him a "business executive". If we change one of those, we should change all of them, although I do recognize that the disambiguation for the article title says "(businessman)", but that shouldn't dissuade us from making appropriate changes within the article. We can revisit the name of the article after settling on this issue.|occupation=
there is an option to use either |title=
or |office=
(but not both) to list notable positions or titles he has held. Again, we should take our cue from what is summarized in the lead and not use either of those parameters to list various and sundry positions.Thanks for uploading File:Alan Jackson in 1996.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Carey Baptist Grammar School while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Melcous ( talk) 11:57, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

You seem to have added a link to the honorific "Sir" in several articles, which have a specific edit comment advising not to. If you are going to add the link (and I'm not suggesting that you should), contrary to the existing comment, than you should probably delete the comment - otherwise the resultant source text (as seen by an editor) makes no sense.

Hello, I'm Melcous. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of an article. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, I'm
Timtrent. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Jim May (chemical engineer), but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page.
Your use of references in this article has been disingenuous. Items fail verification. References are Primary Sources, or lack significant coverage in independent reliable sources. This must cease. 🇺🇦

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Carey3146, it does not appear that you have been specifically asked this question, so can you please respond as to whether you have a connection and therefore WP:COI with Jim May? I note in particular that you have uploaded the photo in the infobox of the article as your own work. Is this accurate? Thank you, Melcous ( talk) 15:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Please read WP:OWN, which you have not quite exhibited so far. A matter of some concern with this article and with Jim May is the sheer quantity of both edits and marginal (often less than marginal) references you have added to the article(s). Without this attention from you neither article would have drawn the attention of detail oriented editors.
I feel it to be unlikely that Jackson will be brought to the wider attention of the community at AfD, but cannot rule it out. At present I see some sort of notability. The article, however, requires the cutting of any "fact" unable to be verified. WP:V is one of the major tenets of Wikipedia, and is not optional. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
I believe there will be quite a few indecent references, with few info being not referenced properly. Did you not put these unreferenced facts and "indecent"references in?
