Hi, and thank you for visiting my user talk page. Might I ask what personal attacks you are referring to? And for the record, are you using your Michael name, or @ Mzajac: name? Its rather confusing. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 00:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC) reply

The Boys's Stormfront

In regards to Stormfront of The Boys, I'm not going to dispute your edits since you made a good point and provided proper sourcing. However, I feel as though I should let User:Bluerules know about this since they have been changing that back and forth over the course of most of season two's run and I want to give them a chance to weigh in on this topic as well if they want. Blazewing16 ( talk)

@ Blazewing16:, thanks for your message. I have no problem with you letting @ Bluerules: know about the matter, though I suspect the article is in their Watchlist (and I've tagged them here). I think that subsequent conversation should take place in the article discussion, as its more of a content issue than a user issue. Would you agree with that assessment? - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 07:41, 12 October 2020 (UTC) reply
I do. It's just that due to past personal experience, the article talk pages usually don't see much action unless specific users are tagged. Blazewing16 ( talk) 07:55, 12 October 2020 (UTC) reply
That seems a fair statement, @ Blazewing16:. :) - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 17:17, 12 October 2020 (UTC) reply

Hello JS. I am in the process of adding references to the tables on this page, I noticed on the talk page that you had posted saying you were going to cull unsourced statements from them. Did you ever wind up doing so? I only ask because almost all of the info in the tables is checking out (with minor changes here and there), so if you deleted anything I'm happy to check if it can be sourced and reposted. All the best. Boynamedsue ( talk) 18:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi Boynamedsue, and thanks for coming here to my talk page. Could I trouble you to link the sources that have been added to the table that verify the information contained therein? I am really glad that you checked the data, but I am sure you don't want to have to do that for every single person who questions that data. Providing a source disconnects you from that task, as the reader can go directly to the linked source of that info to do their own verification. I hope that addressed your concerns, but if not, please provide me with more detail (ie. links) that illustrate your concern. I am eager to work with you to clarify any issues and improve the article. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 21:20, 7 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Hi, yeah, I've been checking and linking on the table as I go. If you go to the revision history you will see a series of edits by me, mostly containing a language name plus "refs". Do you want me to link them to the talk page as well? -- Boynamedsue ( talk) 08:24, 8 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Boynamedsue, I think linking it to the discussion page would be best, so that others with an interest in the page could participate as well. As an aside, I am flabbergasted as to just how many languages there are out there, and how many of them are going extinct. Its kinda sad, really. I wish there was a museum that collected all of these languages and had a common 'Rosetta stone,' like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, translated into each language. Wouldn't that be a fine thing? - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 13:35, 8 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Yes, a museum of world languages would be excellent, perhaps even a UN agency for the protection of linguistic rights? The collapse of the world's linguistic diversity is truly shocking, it is also happening within those languages that survive, traditional forms of languages disappear and new forms strongly influenced by national languages replace them.

DYK for Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse)

On 1 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Re: The Lover Speaks infobox album imagery

Jack Sebastian, I'm not sure why you think my edit was confrontational as that was not the intention in any shape or form. I did not think the new image was likely to cause any upset so did not see any reason why I would need to gain consensus on the talk page. I'm also confused as to why you're unsure as to what I'm "aiming to do". The original image of the LP cover was uploaded in 2009 and at the time there was no separate page for album. I don't see why it's necessary to include the album's cover art on both pages, and seeing that any photo included on the main artist page will be non-free anyway, would it not make more sense to actually illustrate the duo on their biography page and the album cover on the album page? (Edit: I've posted on the talk page now for others' inputs). Ajsmith141 ( talk) 20:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Darknipples:I am always going to add indent marks, to better distinguish between contributor comments. Neither your comments nor your signature was altered in any way.

Hi Jack, Did you even look at the edit you made here [2]? You altered my signature (perhaps by accident). AFAIK that is not allowed. I brought it to your attention instead of reverting it myself. Please double check this. Cheers. DN ( talk) 18:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC) reply

(moving this here where it belongs. Lets not do this on the article talk page as it is a distraction.) "I think the 'I'll humor dissent here' was a bit bitey"...That's your perspective, and hardly on topic at that, so what I will point out to you is that even mentioning that kind of thing here, as opposed to my talk page, is very concerning. I will leave it at "I disagree" for now. Point one, your response here is not indicative of WP:AGF, making personal criticisms and playing the victim card doesn't work here, so I'll give you some time to consider that. Point 2, your revert [3] is also not indicative of AGF, and you have presented no evidence or explanation to the contrary (edit) ONLY YOUR "OPINION". Point 3, explicit in-line citations are not required for inclusion of related topics in the info box AFAIK. Even so, I quoted the "overlap of white nationalism with white supremacy and racial segregation" which explains why this needs to be included and you seem to be ignoring that for some reason. I have other things to do IRL ATM, but I will happily continue this convo later. DN ( talk) 02:06, 19 June 2022 (UTC) DN ( talk) 03:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply

It is usual to address user-shaped issues (as opposed to content-related) on the talk page of the person who added the problematic post, but since it wasn't directed at one specific person, but a point of view espoused by others - and therefore toxic to the idea of collaborative editing - you erred in bringing it to my page. I did in fact AGF; I gently pointed out how your comment wasn't very friendly instead of just posting it at AN:I.
That said, each editor is differently-tempered, and I apologize if my comment seemed unfair. If I note a problematic edit in the future (and of course, I am hoping that there isn't), I'll immediately draw attention to it on your talk page to seek either your intent or - in the worst case scenario - your self-reverting. Does that seem fair? - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 16:41, 19 June 2022 (UTC) reply
