User talk:JavaHurricane/Archive 5

Hello, Java! After your suggestions, I worked to improve the article about Draft:Philip McHarris and clarified his biography and got rid of the essay style and all the redundant information. If you have spare time, please let me know how I did this time.Wikiedits5891 (talk) 21:25, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiedits5891, thanks! I'll go through. JavaHurricane 03:57, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Good question!
This is the only source I found but it doesn't look like reliable one, so I decided to remove it:
www.mylife.com/philip-mcharris/e80149938393210

Here are the other two sources that indicate his approximate age between 27-29: https://www.bc.edu/publications/chronicle/FeaturesNewsTopstories/2015/topstories/_world-of-difference.html https://www.bc.edu/publications/chronicle/FeaturesNewsTopstories/2013/features/mcharris021413.html Wikiedits5891 (talk) 06:55, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiedits5891, is there anything on his website? JavaHurricane 07:16, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, Java! In his "bio" on the website he lists the DOB. I've updated the Draft:Philip McHarris to reflect the updated date of birth. Wikiedits5891 (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiedits5891, thank you! JavaHurricane 13:16, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JavaHurricane, Thank you for the suggestions! Wikiedits5891 (talk) 22:15, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Java. I saw you're working on Heidi. Talk:2011–12_Australian_region_cyclone_season/January - I wanted to make sure you knew of this archive of sources. You should be able to write a good MH with that. Thanks for working on that article :) Lemme know if you need any help. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:56, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricanehink, thanks! JavaHurricane 02:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The edits of mine you reverted for Tim Thomas I believe were constructive as they were correct and accurate.

"Thomas also seriously considered making the jump straight to the NBA from high school, waiting to declare his decision to attend college at Villanova until just days before the deadline to enter the NBA draft."

This was info was gained from a story in Sport Illustrated... https://vault.si.com/vault/1996/11/15/one-year-and-then-villanova-phenom-tim-thomas-gives-it-the-old-college-try-but-the-call-of-the-nba-is-never-out-of-earshot Pretty reliable source... so.. what's the problem?

Also the other edits were cosmetic.. I was taking the ALL CAPS off some of the words and correcting prepositions. Seems pretty constructive to me.

No?

Per BLP policy, all information on biographies of living persons MUST be reliably sourced without exception. Since you did not add the source while adding the information, I reverted the edit. Please feel free to add back the information, as long as you cite the source. JavaHurricane 07:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I literally linked most of what I wrote ... how do you add a source otherwise? Pleas explain. Because sadly you are now presenting incorrect info about Tim Thomas. Specifically the years he played in the NBA 1997-2007 is WRONG and you keep reverting to that. Look it up yourself if you want.. he played from 1998-2010. So.. You are making wiki incorrect every time you revert me.

Tell me step by step what you need. Thanks as I am new.

I'm sorry if you feel bad, but I must abide with Wikipedia policy. You must too. As I said, add a source. Are you using Virtual Editor or the source editor? I can help you if you tell me that. JavaHurricane 07:52, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello we have created a article called Jayvijay Sachan. You Know Jayvijay Sachan is very notable person in Indian comedy field. so please help me to get publish this article to mainspace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamaharyaindia (talk • contribs) 11:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mamaharyaindia, ummmm... I won't be able to help as I am busy at the moment. You could, however, ask for help at the Teahouse, which is meant to serve this very purpose. JavaHurricane 12:04, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mamaharyaindia, I agree with JH. This looks pretty notable, given the wiki links given, but more sources would be better. Cheers! Eumat114 formerly The Lord of Math (Message) 12:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JavaHurricane, Thanks for reviewing the PSA Certified draft so quickly and the clear feedback you gave - I was expecting to be waiting a while for the page to be reviewed. I'm going to tweak the content and resubmit, but wanted your opinions on the planned edits prior to resubmitting.

- Remove Certification & Security section (as some of this is referenced from primary sources) - Remove mentions of external companies (e.g. STMicroelectronics) - Tweak Foundation language to make more encyclopedic.

If those steps are carried out, do you think the draft would be closer to acceptable? If you have any further advice, it would be appreciated.RichardDigital47 (talk) 13:44, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RichardDigital47, that doesn't need to be removed. I think that the only issue I found was the language in the "Foundation" section. That you can go forward with. Rest of the things can stay. JavaHurricane 14:27, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JavaHurricane thanks for the clarification and responding quickly. I have now resubmitted the draft with the changes we have talked about. To make things easier, this is the link. If you have the chance to review, I would really appreciate it. Link - Draft:PSA Certified. RichardDigital47 (talk) 09:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.

In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.

Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.

Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.

Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!

• Your first impressions when you tried RedWarn?
• How have you used RedWarn as time has gone on?
• Would you value customisation features, such as macros or shortcuts, such as adding your own quick revert reasons so the tool can fit your exact editing practices?
• Any suggestions for how I could promote the tool to a wider audience?
• Would you appreciate a more developed and thorough user guide?
• Any theme suggestions?
• Anything you'd like changing?
• Something you've always wanted to see in an anti-vandal tool? (I might add it!)
• RedWarn app?
• A way to introduce Recent Changes patrol to new users to make using RedWarn or other tools less daunting?
• Any bugs, gripes, or things that just really annoy you about RedWarn?

Leave Feedback

My goal is to create the most user friendly moderation tool, and that's why I need your feedback to help make this truely the most favorable anti-vandal tool. While we will never elliminate vandalism on this site, we can get closer to fighting it quickly and easily.

Many thanks for your continued support. Ed6767 (talk) 00:21, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you do not wish to get these feedback reminders, let me know on my talk page.

Actually, I think the refs were sufficient: An encyclopedia, and a famous museum. Hemeets the criteria for WP:CREATIVE, so I accepted it. DGG ( talk ) 17:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JavaHurricane, Thanks for letting me know about your revert, but sadly it's a waste of time. I did not edit Mittens the cats page on 7 March 2020 or any other date for that matter. (SM527RR (talk) 04:47, 8 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

SM527RR, I guess you're talking about this revert. The notification was directed towards the IP address (115.189.xxx.xxx), and you might have received this notification because you might've happened to be using this IP address when you received the notification. It might have been a dynamic IP address, and it got allocated to you at a certain point in time. Cheers, Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 05:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the help with the article. I wanted to ask, how can we improve it so that it gets accepted? Thank you. Aminoff1500 (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aminoff1500, hello! Some suggestions would be adding information and sourcing it properly. See WP:RS for what reliable sources are. You can also see WP:NBIO for notability guidelines and WP:WBA for general help on writing better articles. JavaHurricane 14:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your reply. Is the source in this case the specific issue for notability? Or is being an introduced member of both the Finnish and Swedish house of Nobility not notable? Thanks! Aminoff1500 (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aminoff1500, simply being a member of a house of nobility doesn't make a person notable. As WP:NBIO notes, a person is notable if they have significant coverage (not mere mentions) in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. JavaHurricane 15:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks again for the help. I have the following question: according to WP:ANYBIO a person is notable if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times" Being a member of the House of Lords in both Sweden and Finland is both a "well-known and significant honor" or not? Aminoff1500 (talk) 15:42, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aminoff1500, I don't think so (many members of the British House of Lords, for example, have no articles). However, I think it best for you to go to the Teahouse as the people there are far more experienced. JavaHurricane 16:07, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for the help! I find the issue interesting. Take care. Aminoff1500 (talk) 16:08, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aminoff1500, no worries. Have a good day! JavaHurricane 16:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear JavaHurricane, sorry to be bothering again. I just noted that in several Noble Family Wikipedia pages in their native tongue (German, Swedish and Finnish) there are 'stubs' to family members. Should I convert my article into a stub? Sorry to be asking so many questions, I am a researcher but very new in Wikipedia... thanks! Aminoff1500 (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For example https://fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Schauman has no significant references that make it notable; however it has not been deleted... if I make the same (classify it as a stub) will it work? Thanks Aminoff1500 (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aminoff1500, unfortunately, the English Wikipedia's policies don't apply to the other Wikipedias. So, they have articles that wouldn't stand here JavaHurricane 17:28, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would have believed that policies are universal. Thanks again for the help! Aminoff1500 (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there so much confusion over Wikipedia choosing articles, news articles, and other related third or fourth party entries over the actual witnesses. Imagine a man was on the titanic and the news read that due course was plotted but not followed. And an assistant to the captain said he aided the captain and due course was taken. Wikipedia would take the news article as a,trusted source, rather than the actual witness. This have been happening over and again. If we can not get trusted witnesses other than third party or fourth party articles. Wikipedia would become non sensical. Please stop listing persons who are primary witnesses as soapboxing, if giving their own account. Customer/participator discretion should be advisable and due warnings, but please do not remove the truth to make articles public consumption.

Keith St. Clair Nicholas, please stop your rants and publishing hoaxes on Wikipedia. Please don't tell us that you have found a vaccine for COVID-19, we know it is a hoax. JavaHurricane 07:35, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Keith St. Clair Nicholas: I suggest you read Wikipedia's No original research policy and the guidelines on Reliable Sources. Glen 08:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Glen, I have been reverting this user's edits. The user claims to have found a vaccine for COVID-19, which is a blatant hoax. JavaHurricane 09:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JavaHurricane,

Thanks for the feedback on the article I created for % Arabica I wanted to clarify why it was flagged for speedy deletion? Please note : I am registered here as a paid contributor for the company, which I believe does warrant special status as one of the the best known and internationally represented coffee companies in the world. I used Blue Bottle coffee company as a rough guide, and can see that they have a similar number of references to their own company website as us - so I can only assume that the flag was regarding the reliability of sources?

Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stwtc (talk • contribs) 19:17, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stwtc, your draft article was obviously promotional. That is not allowed on Wikipedia - see this policy subsection. JavaHurricane 00:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JavaHurricane. Thanks for putting the draft page in the right place. What I was trying to do was not create a new page, but put the newspaper title in the Wikipedia system so that if someone searched for it the title would show up and redirect to the Nanaimo Daily News page. I don't know how to do that. Can you help? Davidforbes (talk) 05:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)Davidforbes[reply]

Hello JavaHurricane. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Asia Anti Additive Association(A.A.), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. GedUK  11:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Main thing is you people dont go through the references properly and keep reverting changes. This becomes unbearable sometimes. Though I apologize for the threat. Why dont you ask the user who reverted the changes that did he really read those references? Why not warnings be given to those users who blindly revert the changes? Raje Ranveer (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! You wrote about Draft:Nikolai Udianskyi that «Article looks good now. There were some promotional things there on the page when I reviewed, but it seems all clear now.»

Could you please change the {{AFC submission|d|bio|u=Perohanych|ns=118|decliner=JavaHurricane|declinets=20200421083559|reason2=adv|ts=20200420202749}} template on the draft article! --Perohanych (talk) 20:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Java! After your suggestions, I worked to improve the article about [Draft:David_Eyre_Percival] : I changed the page structure to focus on his career, used a more neutral tone, and added many more sources. If you have spare time, please let me know how I did this time. Thanks

Hey! Me again. As I've mentioned before, I like looking plot summaries to media I've consumed, and have noticed several articles appear out of date or of low quality. I've been using the standard Fan POV warning template for these, since I recognize my efforts at maintenance may not be of the highest quality. Is this an appropriate/effective course of action, or is there something that I could be doing instead? --TheTwig001 (talk) 19:34, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JavaHurricane. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access should not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! asilvering (talk) 14:17, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user makes opinion based edits on articles rather than providing factual information.

Making a statement 'inappropriate removal of maintenance templates', hence word 'inappropriate' is typically used in an opinon based statement especially when not cited. Please refrain from doing so in the future. Notanobleman (talk) 01:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Notanobleman: your previous removals of the maintenance templates - without fixing the relevant issues - were unambiguously inappropriate. And even if it were justifiable, that was no grounds to edit-war over them - WP:3RRNO is quite unambiguous in this regard. I see that you have now done some work on that article and its issues, so I will let the matter rest; but in the future do not remove the templates before the highlighted issues are fixed (or the templates themselves can be shown to be wrongly applied). JavaHurricane 06:01, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Using words like 'unambiguously' does not change the fact that your edit revert was and is opinion based, like your response. Yes, i continuously make edits to articles to correct them often. Notanobleman (talk) 14:32, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Notanobleman: while editorial decisions do involve a measure of subjectivity, informed by policies and guidelines and other conventions (written or unwritten), that alone does not disqualify or discredit an edit, and for my part I note that your removal of those templates was on subjective lines too. Also your removal (before you opted to try and fix the issues in the article) was reverted by three editors including me. I think this would indicate a consensus that your edits were not quite right. JavaHurricane 15:26, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You statement is quite a contradictory. I too could make the same claim against you. And again yes, i continuously make edits to articles to correct them.

There are 50 million registered users on wikipedia, didnt know '3' of them had such a huge impact. Notanobleman (talk) 22:40, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Notanobleman: I fail to see any contradiction in my argument. JavaHurricane 01:53, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	Greetings, JavaHurricane. You are receiving this notification because you've agreed to consider endorsing prospective admin candidates identified by the process outlined at Administrators without tools. Recently, the following editor(s) received this distinction and the associated endearing title: Bunnypranav
Thank you for supporting this effort. Your contributions are an integral part of overall success, and an example for others to follow. To stop receiving these notifications, remove your name from the list.

TolBot (talk) 21:00, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JavaHurricane. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

• When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
• All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
• A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
• As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
  • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
  • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

• Administrators may grant the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right to non-administrators who meet the criteria for granting. Importantly, an editor must make an explicit request for the permission (e.g. at WP:PERM/TAIV)—administrators are not permitted to assign the right without a request.
• Administrators will automatically be able to see temporary account IP information once they have accepted the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy via Special:Preferences or via the onboarding dialog which comes up after temporary accounts are deployed.

Impact for administrators

• It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
• It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
• Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

• Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
• Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
• See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

• It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Enable the user info card
  • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
• Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
• Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
• The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.
