Hey thanks for your edits to Interactive Brokers. I appreciate all of it, however can you put the 2007 category second (so the cats stay alphabetical), and can you remove the NY Times external link? I commented it out because the NYT link used to have a whole topic of articles related to IB, but the contents vanished, so I commented it out for the time. But after a year or more, nothing's changed, so just remove it please. Thanks. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 18:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
No, there is not a policy or guideline. Like much (most?) of Wikipedia, practices are built up over thousands of articles (including both the ones you looked at), which makes it unnecessary to codify them. And I don't "insist" on anything: I have a pretty good idea how a US public company article should look (i.e., what brings it closer to being a featured article), but I don't get into edit wars. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 19:34, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
But then the infobox needs to change, since Interactive Brokers LLC is not a public company, is not traded under Nasdaq: IBKR, and does not have the financial results listed. (categories and navbox would need to change as well). I have no opinion on which company should be the subject of the article, only that the article should be internally consistent the subject of a single company, either LLC or Interactive Brokers Group Inc.: that is all I was trying, in good faith, to do with my edits (and I think is important to avoid confusing the reader).

Hello. Your request for new page reviewer user right has been granted. Happy patrolling! Alex Shih Talk 16:45, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Sorry about not responding, but somehow your ping was lost in a flood of comments I received on Commons just about at that time. I realize it is no excuse, but next time feel free to just ping again before making a request elsewhere. I would prefer if you withdrew it and instead explained why/if there was any missing functionality. All functionality was copied, so the merge is essentially for maintenance purposes. No articles should have seen any changes whatsoever as a result of the merge. The new template allows functionality of both older templates, and as such is broader.

Hey @ UnitedStatesian:, do you know anything about possibly creating a new stock exchange template? I am beginning to see some tickers that trade on the BATS exchange no longer resolve when using the NYSE template. An example would be IYT. iShares just recently transferred 30 iShares funds to the Bats ETF Marketplace. I guess we need a template to point to a web address like https://www.nyse.com/quote/BATS:IYT for BATS listed securities. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Hi there,
I noticed you're a member of the Wikipedia Finance and Investment project. I've written a new article and I wonder if you'd be willing to help out by reviewing it - Draft: Fifth Wall Ventures and making it live if you think it's ready? It's about a VC-firm focused on real estate.
Although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and always try my best to abide by the five pillars, in this case I have a conflict of interest, so Wikipedia policy requires that all my work be reviewed by an independent editor before it's published. (Moved from "Draft" to "Wikipedia" under the "More" tab in the nav.) I'd be glad to do any additional work you think the article requires.
Thanks for considering this!

Hi there, I have just posted a request on the talk page for the article Broadridge Financial Solutions and, given your involvement with Wikiproject Finance & Investment, I wondered if you'd be willing to consider reviewing it. I have a financial COI as I'm working with the company, and therefore will not directly edit the page, per the WP:COI guideline. The current Broadridge article is quite short, and needs a lot of work; I think the section proposed would go a long way to helping readers understand this company better. Thanks, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 17:31, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
There's no need for a discussion about adding redirects. The subject clearly fails WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO. Notability is lacking and if we have a discussion about it, it will likely be deleted rather than simply ending up as a redirect. Feel free to start a discussion about the subject's notability or support that she is somehow independently notable. You can do so on the talk page of the band article, or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians. Your best hope is to find references and provide them in whatever discussion you start.

Hello UnitedStatesian, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Hi, UnitedStatesian, and greetings.
I appreciate that your move of Broadcom Limited to Broadcom Inc. and your move of Broadcom to Broadcom Corporation were well-intentioned. I do not currently have an opinion about those moves, except to say that they were not unreasonable.
I also appreciate that your subsequent edit of Broadcom to point to Broadcom Inc. instead of to Broadcom Corporation was probably well-intentioned. However, this, I feel, was not so reasonable - at least, not without a corresponding effort to fix any inbound links that were broken as a result. I have therefore reverted that edit. If you wish to restore it, please be sure to amend any inbound links accordingly. Thank you.
I am not posting this to admonish you, just to explain why I reverted that edit. Also, apologies for the hasty tone; I am editing under some time pressure but want to get the inbound links fixed before I break off. Thanks for understanding, Zazpot ( talk) 13:01, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello UnitedStatesian, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Hello, UnitedStatesian. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac ( talk) 00:04, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, UnitedStatesian,
I just wanted to let you know, if you didn't, that CSD C1, for empty categories, is treated differently from other rationales for speedy deletion. Categories that are tagged sit for 7 days in a holdover category. In that time, they can fill up again and the tag is removed or an editor can decide to place an {{emptycat}} tag on the category that says that the category shouldn't be deleted even if it is empty. But categories with a CSD C1 tag are not immediately deleted when they are tagged.
My apologies if you were already familiar with this policy but you removed a tag from a category so I thought I'd post a short explanation. Liz Read! Talk! 06:01, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi UnitedStatesian, you stated that IMDB exists, and removed the BLP Prod. IMDB is non RS as you know, whether it exists, or doesn't exist is irrelevant. What is known about IMDB is that it non RS. It cant be used for a reference, except in linking to specific content. So it is not valid, whether it is there or not. It is null concept. So it cant be used as an argument for supplying a reference. The second source to the website, doesn't mention the fact that he has written 50 books. I had a good look through, could see it. So have two references, once doesn't exist, as it is a null reference, the other one doesnt provides the goods, except to prove he exists. So neither can be used for BLP. They are both dud. Hopefully you will not removed the blpprod and then I will have to send it to Afd, stating the exact same arguments again. scope_creep ( talk) 16:18, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello UnitedStatesian,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

I got your message regarding paid editing. I had a few doubts. I am fairly new to Wikipedia content editing and would greatly appreciate if you could help.
1. I work for Microland and am not getting paid for making the edits on the page (This is not my role at all). But I have been assigned the task to make the page factually correct. Does this make me a paid advocate? 2. I want to revamp the page with updated content about our history and journey since 1989. Can I share the new content with you for review?

Hello, UnitedStatesian,
I just untagged this category that you created that had marked for deletion because, at that time, it was empty. But it is empty no longer. But I'd like to ask you to assign parent categories to it so that it is findable in the Wikipedia category system. Parent categories are important so that any reader seeking information can find it through more general categories that Category:Phraseology is a part of. Thank you for your help. Liz Read!

An article you recently created,
Invalid dinosaur, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hopes all's well with that section now. I know we were going back and forth a bit with editing it.

Split done. The history-split process is simple to perform, but it leaves behind very little evidence that the pages weren't always separate, just as the history-merge process leaves little evidence that the pages were separate. That's why I wasn't willing to do anything before the close — it would look like you'd nominated a page that was already at the right place, almost without any LDS history at all. Also, undoing either a merge or a split can take a good deal of work (see the amusing warning at WP:HM#Manual process and the complex diagrams at that point and a little farther down), so if I'd done the split and people then rejected my idea for some reason, it would have taken a bunch of needless effort to put the split revisions back in the history of the LDS page, since you hadn't asked for them to be trashed. So thank you for withdrawing :-) Nyttend ( talk) 22:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

You attempted to put me in Genderqueer writers despite me having returned to my male birth sex which makes me question what you are doing?

The PJmedia article says: "As a result, I have returned to my male birth sex.” He announced that he had lived in Ocala, Florida, since July of last year and that, on the previous day, he had been issued a Florida driver’s license identifying him as a male. “In my thirty plus year marriage,” he went on to say,"
https://pjmedia.com/trending/a-transgender-hero-breaks-ranks/
The writer section says: "As a writer, Shupe has articles and essays published in The New York Times,[29] The Guardian,[64] The Federalist,[65] MercatorNet,[66] The Daily Signal,[67] and Medium.[68]"
So at this point, I would like for you to either fix this stuff or undo your edits. As you know, I'm not supposed to edit my own page, so I have to instead confront you about your edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieShupe ( talk • contribs) 10:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

While the deletion discussions surrounding portals have been raging on, here is what has been going on behind-the-scenes...
Currently, there are 543 portals, comprised of around 100,000 pages in portal space, the rest beyond the 543 being subpages. Most of those subpages contain an excerpt, copied and pasted from some article. Such excerpts never change, and they go stale over time (no longer matching the original source material), but at least they’re excerpts from quality articles and not 1 sentence from a stub or a list.
The Portal Cleanup WikiProject was launched on March 8th, and has grown to 5 members (4 reverters plus 1 person who edited the page to fix a mistagging by me). We've been busy reverting portal redesigns that broke the portals so that all those subpages will be needed, which causes some problems because of outdated excerpts, but it’s the lesser of two evils.
The design concept called " selective transclusion", which is used for migrating excerpts (moving them to the base page), does so by displaying part of an article the same as a template. An added benefit of this is that it also keeps them fresh, by always showing the current version of the content that is transcluded. This sort of thing is okay as long as it doesn’t transclude garbage (see above).
Our parent project has also worked on ways to make excerpted content, and listed entries, dynamic, so that the material or links shown automatically change over time without the intervention of an editor. Selected articles, could be set up to change daily, for example, to present a different article each day. This can even be made to show a different article every time a user visits the page. Currently, we can do this from a set list. We're trying to make it so that the list is updated automatically from an external source that is regularly maintained. Well, they said this back when they were starting up the project, but then they gave us slideshows, which aren’t as good. It’s like when time and time again, the English Wikipedia community tells the WMF, “we want Visual Editor enabled on talk pages” and then the WMF gives us Flow. Never mind, that’s unfair to the slideshows.
Other automated solutions are being judged with regard to whether they need to be undone. Examples of good changes to portals include automatically updating did you know entries, and replacing outdated news from dead-project-walking Wikinews with auto-updating In the News sections that provide news about spider monkeys and the Richmond Spiders on Portal:Spiders (this has since been fixed to actually provide news on spiders), and so on. This is why bug fixing is also important, for both new-style and old-style portals. Make sure to report bugs at the Portals Wikiproject's talk page, and be prepared for a quick response. I have a lot of gripes about portals, their WikiProject, and its leaders, but the people there are nothing if not responsive.
Once we find portals that have been degraded by the subpar automated design, they will be reverted to versions that invariably still have problems, but at least they have fewer problems. This will probably increase the amount of maintenance they need, so consider maintaining portals in areas of interest. A single editor will then be able to watch over far more portals than before, ideally, thanks to MfDs (and maybe CSD X3 soon) decreasing the overall number of portals.
The Portal WikiProject is dedicated to fixing, improving, and maintaining the entire portal system and every portal in it. Come check us out, and if you like what you see, feel free to join. We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
Let's do this.
See ya at the WikiProject!
TL;DR I’ve got a list of portals that have been reverted or may need to be reverted (though not all do) from their automated versions over at WP:WikiProject Portals/Cleanup. You may want to list your reverts there (add the portals to the bottom section if they’re not there), or use the list to check more portals. The page also has some tips on when to revert. — pythoncoder ( talk | contribs) 21:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

It's a sign of a meticulous editor that they can spot an apparently misconceived redirect and nominate it for deletion. Most just walk by.
It's a sign of human fallibility that sometimes that initial judgement doesn't stand up to further scrutiny.
And it's a sign of a really good conscientious human editor that they scrutinise their own work, and gracefully withdraw if they find it wasn't what it seems.

Hello,
I noticed you removed the speedy deletion tag from Wikipedia:#hashtag articles ( diff). Although I understand the speedy deletion wasn't valid (as it did not seem to say why it met one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion), you shouldn't have removed it as you were the page creator (and I think you do know that). I don't mean this as any warning etc., but it is meant to be a friendly reminder that the administrators will check the talk page first and also check the rationale before deletion.

I received a notification saying a revision of mine to the Bee Gees article had been reverted [by you], but I did not make this revision. I previously noticed the change when I was notified of it (since I'm watching the page), and how inappropriate it was, but not that I was supposed to have made it. I'm changing my password and hope this will suffice to avoid further occurrences of such misattribution (there was another in the last couple of days, which I did not make and never would have), but I'm not sure it will since whoever's doing this might be within Wikipedia itself and thus presumably have access to my new password as well.

No, there is not a policy or guideline. Like much (most?) of Wikipedia, practices are built up over thousands of articles (including both the ones you looked at), which makes it unnecessary to codify them. And I don't "insist" on anything: I have a pretty good idea how a US public company article should look (i.e., what brings it closer to being a featured article), but I don't get into edit wars. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 19:34, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
But then the infobox needs to change, since Interactive Brokers LLC is not a public company, is not traded under Nasdaq: IBKR, and does not have the financial results listed. (categories and navbox would need to change as well). I have no opinion on which company should be the subject of the article, only that the article should be internally consistent the subject of a single company, either LLC or Interactive Brokers Group Inc.: that is all I was trying, in good faith, to do with my edits (and I think is important to avoid confusing the reader).

Sorry about not responding, but somehow your ping was lost in a flood of comments I received on Commons just about at that time. I realize it is no excuse, but next time feel free to just ping again before making a request elsewhere. I would prefer if you withdrew it and instead explained why/if there was any missing functionality. All functionality was copied, so the merge is essentially for maintenance purposes. No articles should have seen any changes whatsoever as a result of the merge. The new template allows functionality of both older templates, and as such is broader.

Hey @ UnitedStatesian:, do you know anything about possibly creating a new stock exchange template? I am beginning to see some tickers that trade on the BATS exchange no longer resolve when using the NYSE template. An example would be IYT. iShares just recently transferred 30 iShares funds to the Bats ETF Marketplace. I guess we need a template to point to a web address like https://www.nyse.com/quote/BATS:IYT for BATS listed securities. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Hi there,
I noticed you're a member of the Wikipedia Finance and Investment project. I've written a new article and I wonder if you'd be willing to help out by reviewing it - Draft: Fifth Wall Ventures and making it live if you think it's ready? It's about a VC-firm focused on real estate.
Although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and always try my best to abide by the five pillars, in this case I have a conflict of interest, so Wikipedia policy requires that all my work be reviewed by an independent editor before it's published. (Moved from "Draft" to "Wikipedia" under the "More" tab in the nav.) I'd be glad to do any additional work you think the article requires.
Thanks for considering this!

Hi there, I have just posted a request on the talk page for the article Broadridge Financial Solutions and, given your involvement with Wikiproject Finance & Investment, I wondered if you'd be willing to consider reviewing it. I have a financial COI as I'm working with the company, and therefore will not directly edit the page, per the WP:COI guideline. The current Broadridge article is quite short, and needs a lot of work; I think the section proposed would go a long way to helping readers understand this company better.

There's no need for a discussion about adding redirects. The subject clearly fails WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO. Notability is lacking and if we have a discussion about it, it will likely be deleted rather than simply ending up as a redirect. Feel free to start a discussion about the subject's notability or support that she is somehow independently notable. You can do so on the talk page of the band article, or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians. Your best hope is to find references and provide them in whatever discussion you start.

Hello UnitedStatesian, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

Hi, UnitedStatesian, and greetings.
I appreciate that your move of Broadcom Limited to Broadcom Inc. and your move of Broadcom to Broadcom Corporation were well-intentioned. I do not currently have an opinion about those moves, except to say that they were not unreasonable.
I also appreciate that your subsequent edit of Broadcom to point to Broadcom Inc. instead of to Broadcom Corporation was probably well-intentioned. However, this, I feel, was not so reasonable - at least, not without a corresponding effort to fix any inbound links that were broken as a result. I have therefore reverted that edit. If you wish to restore it, please be sure to amend any inbound links accordingly. Thank you.
I am not posting this to admonish you, just to explain why I reverted that edit. Also, apologies for the hasty tone; I am editing under some time pressure but want to get the inbound links fixed before I break off. Thanks for understanding, Zazpot ( talk) 13:01, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

Hello, UnitedStatesian,
I just wanted to let you know, if you didn't, that CSD C1, for empty categories, is treated differently from other rationales for speedy deletion. Categories that are tagged sit for 7 days in a holdover category. In that time, they can fill up again and the tag is removed or an editor can decide to place an {{emptycat}} tag on the category that says that the category shouldn't be deleted even if it is empty. But categories with a CSD C1 tag are not immediately deleted when they are tagged.
My apologies if you were already familiar with this policy but you removed a tag from a category so I thought I'd post a short explanation. Liz Read! Talk! 06:01, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi UnitedStatesian, you stated that IMDB exists, and removed the BLP Prod. IMDB is non RS as you know, whether it exists, or doesn't exist is irrelevant. What is known about IMDB is that it non RS. It cant be used for a reference, except in linking to specific content. So it is not valid, whether it is there or not. It is null concept. So it cant be used as an argument for supplying a reference. The second source to the website, doesn't mention the fact that he has written 50 books. I had a good look through, could see it. So have two references, once doesn't exist, as it is a null reference, the other one doesnt provides the goods, except to prove he exists. So neither can be used for BLP. They are both dud. Hopefully you will not removed the blpprod and then I will have to send it to Afd, stating the exact same arguments again. scope_creep ( talk) 16:18, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello UnitedStatesian,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Parent categories are important so that any reader seeking information can find it through more general categories that Category:Phraseology is a part of. Thank you for your help. Liz Read!

I was trying to close older discussions but I'm unclear which pages you were looking to have deleted. Is there a list? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:06, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Invalid dinosaur, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hopes all's well with that section now. I know we were going back and forth a bit with editing it. I also performed a couple of edits that make it appear that I'm owning the change of "Withdrawn" to "Not intended as a nomination" so that it doesn't look like you were editing my statement (since that's somewhat of a violation of WP:TPO.) Either way, that section's existence should be noted on Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion until the transclusion of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 January 31 is removed.

Split done. The history-split process is simple to perform, but it leaves behind very little evidence that the pages weren't always separate, just as the history-merge process leaves little evidence that the pages were separate. That's why I wasn't willing to do anything before the close — it would look like you'd nominated a page that was already at the right place, almost without any LDS history at all. Also, undoing either a merge or a split can take a good deal of work (see the amusing warning at WP:HM#Manual process and the complex diagrams at that point and a little farther down), so if I'd done the split and people then rejected my idea for some reason, it would have taken a bunch of needless effort to put the split revisions back in the history of the LDS page, since you hadn't asked for them to be trashed. So thank you for withdrawing :-) Nyttend ( talk) 22:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, UnitedStatesian,
Please do not blank category pages, especially redirect pages. See CFD Redirect Categories for policy on this matter.

Can you explain the reason for removing me from the category of writers and Ocala, Florida where I reside?
You attempted to put me in Genderqueer writers despite me having returned to my male birth sex which makes me question what you are doing?
Thanks.
Jamie Shupe
Next Question: So rather than just deleting the categories, if you know these things then why didn't fix them with the proper Ocala category and writer category? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieShupe ( talk • contribs) 00:52, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
The PJmedia article says: "As a result, I have returned to my male birth sex.” He announced that he had lived in Ocala, Florida, since July of last year and that, on the previous day, he had been issued a Florida driver’s license identifying him as a male. “In my thirty plus year marriage,” he went on to say,"
https://pjmedia.com/trending/a-transgender-hero-breaks-ranks/
The writer section says: "As a writer, Shupe has articles and essays published in The New York Times,[29] The Guardian,[64] The Federalist,[65] MercatorNet,[66] The Daily Signal,[67] and Medium.[68]"
So at this point, I would like for you to either fix this stuff or undo your edits. As you know, I'm not supposed to edit my own page, so I have to instead confront you about your edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieShupe ( talk • contribs) 10:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
@UnitedStatesian, funny you should say that. I posted the PJMedia article on the talk page on February 15th. You edited my page on February 23rd. Do you not read the talk page before you start editing? Or is this editing stuff about running around making mass edits to get awards and decorations from Wikipedia? I'm not supposed to edit the page myself because it creates a conflict of interest, so still waiting on you to fix or remove the errors you created.-- JamieShupe ( talk) 22:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I saw that you put a possibly empty cat tag on this category. Usually this tag is reserved for tracking categories and other maintenance categories on Wikipedia that might be empty time to time but usually will end up having contents at some point.

Hi UnitedStatesian. Unfortunately, when WikiProject Portals automated it, they had many of its sub-pages deleted making it impossible to revert to the previous version without masses of red links and distorted layout. You might want to think of restoring the automated version and then trying to get the deleted sub-pages and elements restored first. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 14:36, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

While the deletion discussions surrounding portals have been raging on, here is what has been going on behind-the-scenes...
Currently, there are 543 portals, comprised of around 100,000 pages in portal space, the rest beyond the 543 being subpages. Most of those subpages contain an excerpt, copied and pasted from some article. Such excerpts never change, and they go stale over time (no longer matching the original source material), but at least they’re excerpts from quality articles and not 1 sentence from a stub or a list.
The Portal Cleanup WikiProject was launched on March 8th, and has grown to 5 members (4 reverters plus 1 person who edited the page to fix a mistagging by me). We've been busy reverting portal redesigns that broke the portals so that all those subpages will be needed, which causes some problems because of outdated excerpts, but it’s the lesser of two evils.
The design concept called " selective transclusion", which is used for migrating excerpts (moving them to the base page), does so by displaying part of an article the same as a template. An added benefit of this is that it also keeps them fresh, by always showing the current version of the content that is transcluded. This sort of thing is okay as long as it doesn’t transclude garbage (see above).
Our parent project has also worked on ways to make excerpted content, and listed entries, dynamic, so that the material or links shown automatically change over time without the intervention of an editor. Selected articles, could be set up to change daily, for example, to present a different article each day. This can even be made to show a different article every time a user visits the page. Currently, we can do this from a set list. We're trying to make it so that the list is updated automatically from an external source that is regularly maintained. Well, they said this back when they were starting up the project, but then they gave us slideshows, which aren’t as good. It’s like when time and time again, the English Wikipedia community tells the WMF, “we want Visual Editor enabled on talk pages” and then the WMF gives us Flow. Never mind, that’s unfair to the slideshows.
Other automated solutions are being judged with regard to whether they need to be undone. Examples of good changes to portals include automatically updating did you know entries, and replacing outdated news from dead-project-walking Wikinews with auto-updating In the News sections that provide news about spider monkeys and the Richmond Spiders on Portal:Spiders (this has since been fixed to actually provide news on spiders), and so on. This is why bug fixing is also important, for both new-style and old-style portals. Make sure to report bugs at the Portals Wikiproject's talk page, and be prepared for a quick response. I have a lot of gripes about portals, their WikiProject, and its leaders, but the people there are nothing if not responsive.
Once we find portals that have been degraded by the subpar automated design, they will be reverted to versions that invariably still have problems, but at least they have fewer problems. This will probably increase the amount of maintenance they need, so consider maintaining portals in areas of interest. A single editor will then be able to watch over far more portals than before, ideally, thanks to MfDs (and maybe CSD X3 soon) decreasing the overall number of portals.
The Portal WikiProject is dedicated to fixing, improving, and maintaining the entire portal system and every portal in it. Come check us out, and if you like what you see, feel free to join. We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
Let's do this.
See ya at the WikiProject!
TL;DR I’ve got a list of portals that have been reverted or may need to be reverted (though not all do) from their automated versions over at WP:WikiProject Portals/Cleanup. You may want to list your reverts there (add the portals to the bottom section if they’re not there), or use the list to check more portals. The page also has some tips on when to revert. — pythoncoder ( talk | contribs) 21:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

It's a sign of a meticulous editor that they can spot an apparently misconceived redirect and nominate it for deletion. Most just walk by.
It's a sign of human fallibility that sometimes that initial judgement doesn't stand up to further scrutiny.
And it's a sign of a really good conscientious human editor that they scrutinise their own work, and gracefully withdraw if they find it wasn't what it seems.

Hello,
I noticed you removed the speedy deletion tag from Wikipedia:#hashtag articles ( diff). Although I understand the speedy deletion wasn't valid (as it did not seem to say why it met one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion), you shouldn't have removed it as you were the page creator (and I think you do know that). I don't mean this as any warning etc., but it is meant to be a friendly reminder that the administrators will check the talk page first and also check the rationale before deletion.
Again, this isn't meant as a warning, but just as a friendly reminder. Happy editing, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 21:56, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

I received a notification saying a revision of mine to the Bee Gees article had been reverted [by you], but I did not make this revision. I previously noticed the change when I was notified of it (since I'm watching the page), and how inappropriate it was, but not that I was supposed to have made it. I'm changing my password and hope this will suffice to avoid further occurrences of such misattribution (there was another in the last couple of days, which I did not make and never would have), but I'm not sure it will since whoever's doing this might be within Wikipedia itself and thus presumably have access to my new password as well. In any event I regret the inappropriate change even though I didn't make it myself. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 03:46, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
