This is a Wikipedia user talk page. This is not an encyclopedia article, or even the talk page for an encyclopedia article. It is a miserable little pile of secrets. Do not consult it for term papers, doctoral dissertations, Congressional committee reports, ecumenical statements, et cetera. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror, or one of those ersatz knockoff sites that make fake profiles of Wikipedia editors and claim them as users. Be aware that the page may be outdated, or stupid, and that the user to whom this talk page belongs to may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself. The original talk page is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JPxG.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Hey, not sure who writes the column that this would best go in, but I figure you can delegate. A Welsh historian recently published a YouTube video about a Victorian-era hoax that made it into a Wikipedia article and lingered until he discussed it. Seems like the kind of thing that often gets a short blurb. — Compassionate727 ^{( T· C)} 21:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Heck, I guess I could write a blurb. I've already watched the thing. — Compassionate727 ^{( T· C)} 21:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, JPxG! The notifications system sent me an unexpected notification (given what you did), and I thought I'd let you know in case you were unaware. You restored a previous revision of Stephen Hsu using Twinkle, specifically one prior to an edit I made to the article. Even though you didn't use the built-in "undo" on my edit, and my username is not mentioned your edit summary, I still got a notification that you undid my edit. I certainly was not aware that restoring revisions like this would ping me, so I thought you would like to know. If you were already aware, please excuse the interruption to your day. Have a good one. Thank you, Rotideypoc41352 ( talk · contribs) 02:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Yeah, reverts are weird like that: sometimes you get a ping two years after you make an edit because some totally unrelated series of later edits happens to bring the article back to the same content as your revision! Ah well -- such is life. jp× g 🗯️ 02:59, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Template:Blink requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_September_13#Template:Blink. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 16:06, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

JPxG, removing the speedy deletion tag yourself was ignoring the directions of Jonesey95's tag at best (violation of WP:SPEEDY) and a violation of WP:INVOLVED at worst. I do happen to with the third point given in your edit summary – that this template has uses and therefore addresses the reason for deletion given in the previous discussion – but that doesn't mean you should have jumped the gun. theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her) 17:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Template:Blink has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 18:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply

JPxG, WELCOME 2 MY WEB SIGHT!!! Z0MG!!1!, (in this context) the space between 'web' and 'site' in Welcome to my web site!!!1 and Welcome 2 mah web sight!!1 is vandalism; and We had a pretty good laugh at the thought of blinking text, and talked about blinking this and that and how absurd the whole thing would be is disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point, as you are currently involved in a deletion discussion about the template.

Also check your email, there has been a development with The Signpost that needs private action before I post publicly on the newsroom talk page... Svampesky ( talk) 01:03, 6 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I think the sample text for a demonstration can just be whatever: the only real stricture is that it not be obscene and that it be long enough to actually give a solid impression of the thing (e.g. a typeface should be demonstrated with a pangram or at the very least a full sentence, rather than just the word "Font"). If you think the demonstration sentence is stupid, then whatever, but it should at least be a sentence and not a single word (ideally it would be something that did not put readers to sleep with solemnity for solemnity's sake). jp× g 🗯️ 05:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC) reply

A Wikipedia inside-joke would be more appropriate for the article space. I'm not entirely sure if it constitutes an edit war if I keep changing your edits, but something like This is the new WikiPedia! ( First Wikipedia edit) is more agreeable, or a subtle subject-specific reference like Hello, World!. Svampesky ( talk) 11:48, 6 July 2024 (UTC) reply

See search for errors - was previously 29, now 27 -- need to redo the last 12 months, somehow those got messed uip (probably because I didn't run the second propertizer all the way through and they were still skellies?)

A bunch of these are because there's literally one page messed up. Very easy to fix, it just needs some form of automation (e.g. parse the dates directly into edit links for those logpages) jp× g 🗯️ 04:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Search for "Unretrievable" gives 66 results. Total of 218......... le sigh jp× g 🗯️ 01:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I don't recall ever seeing this before, but several times in the past few days when HooptyBot has updated your Oracle for Deletion pages, it's added listings for CFD discussions that had the effect of filing your index page in a CFD-discussed category instead of text-linking to the category, because it was adding the category without a leading colon (or with one of the category-links templates) to disable the category link — which in turn caused the category to get detected by Wikipedia:Database reports/Polluted categories and have to be cleaned up by another user (i.e. me). So could you update the bot to ensure that it's linking to categories in disabled "text link to the category" form instead of "filing the page in the category" form? Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 14:33, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Also, I notice that it's trying to link to the actual CFD discussions themsevles in the form [[Wikipedia:Articles for discussion/Category:Bla bla]] instead of [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Category:Bla bla]], which is obviously silly and broken — that's a separate link from the one I've been having to disable, but it's probably also a thing the bot should be corrected on at the same time.

This sounds like a 2007 special. There are a bunch of really weird and stupid jacked-up one-off things in AfD subpages because there's half a million AfDs and they're all unstructured wikitext with no validation anywhere. For example, there are hundreds of AfDs that got moved to new titles to fix typos, and there were no redirects, and the old links were never corrected so there's just redlinks on the AfD logpage for twenty years. Nowadays almost everyone uses userscripts, and the userscripts aren't as buggy anymore, and errors get fixed pretty quick due to there being more monitoring, but there is a lot of dumb shit like in the 2000s people would just list stuff at AfD even if it belonged at MfD and then nobody would ever bother to fix it so there's just this stupid wrong-venue page. It's a mess. jp× g 🗯️ 15:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

It shouldn't do that -- I have code to prevent it from doing that -- but I just refactored a bunch of it, so I suppose maybe I busted it.

:                for asdf in "File", "Image", "Category"]:
:                    ln = len(asdf)+2
:                    if linkscolumn0:ln.lower() == ("[[" + asdf.lower()):
:                        linkscolumn.replace("[[", "[[:")

If you have any diffs on hand, I will go try to figure out wtf is going on. jp× g 🗯️ 15:32, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

On 14 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mindustry, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the real-time strategy, tower defense and factory management game Mindustry is freely licensed under the GPLv3? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mindustry. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Mindustry), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I had been struggling with the rmcloser on the move for the Donald trump shooting article for a full ten minutes. Thank you for closing it. Soni ( talk) 04:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

It was so cursed lol. Even with admin tools that give me the #fuckit #yolo overrides for everything, I still had to separately move the main page and the talk page and disregard a bunch of warnings -- I think MediaWiki was freaking out at the idea of auto-deleting both destination pages. I really wish there was an option to auto-histmerge short history redirects/dabs, but then again, this would probably cause a bunch of additional unbelievably-stupid edge cases, so who knows tbdesu. jp× g 🗯️ 04:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Yeah I suspect it's the talk page size that caused it. That and the speed of edits for both pages, at least for me it took me quite a while to realise there were new edits after the version I was stuck on.

New pages are always a pain for history and similar reasons. Soni ( talk) 04:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I saw Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Griphennus after you put it in WP:RECORDS and was surprised when "griphennus" didn't yield a single non-Wikipedia result in any of the places I searched it. It really sounds like a word. It could be an Austrian meadow or great uncle of Methuselah or a humanoid toilet YouTuber or something. For a minute I started wishing it were a word, so maybe for today I can say it means "interesting, useful, behind the scenes task that I previously did not realize anyone had to do." Like standardizing improperly closed AfDs, that's a total griphennus. Thanks! Crunchydillpickle🥒 ( talk) 05:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I used my viewdeleted for good evil silly when I was looking at that AfD because I wanted to know too. Here is what it was:

This a common slang term used by a group of Marquenvolists of the Acrophedya in Cornolio, (a very secluded pterogynne exchanging thylial expressions) allowing pavilius commonequial . Modern theories concur the usage to be applied to strutting the absolute mendisqual reliance on temporary jargonth. Memphitatically, the fianthropology consisted of technical distribution due to the connorial diction of vixerish methigie. Although amptitwin conditions persist the morpholitus adaptaptable query for maquisurial expenditures. Further information can be found on the messiroial vector summation Law from David Vandelorough's Volume 9-77 listings.

Had a bit of a chorfaw at this, it was a pretty good nonsense as far as nonsense goes. jp× g 🗯️ 05:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Haha griphennus is what it's like when my friends that are in grad school publish exciting but painfully esoteric papers and I try to read them to be supportive Crunchydillpickle🥒 ( talk) 05:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, just wondering why this talk page is protected. 2403:6200:8810:F964:B067:4711:4774:5642 ( talk) 09:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Damned if I know -- I didn't do it, I just moved it there. I guess that puts my name in the protection log because I transferred it from the old title. Well, I guess I can take a look. jp× g 🗯️ 10:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

An editor has asked for a Move review of Attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Downerr2937 ( talk) 16:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply
