Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned.

I see you reverting a lot of vandalizing edits using Huggle, but for some reason your system is not issuing any warnings to the editors whose edits are being reverted. You can confirm this by taking a look at your contribs. If you go the Options menu under System in Huggle, you can correct your settings to ensure Huggle issues these warnings. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 21:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the input! I just realized I was using the revert button instead of the revert with warning button.

Oh that makes sense! I hadn’t thought of that possibility. Glad to know you’re going be giving the miscreants the proper warnings from now on. Happy recent changes patrol! — SpikeToronto 22:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, can you please explain to me how my edit to "Alma Bella" was "unconstructive"? According to Category:Living people and Category:Possibly living people: "Individuals of advanced age (over 90) for whom no documentation has existed for a decade or longer [can be placed in Category:Possibly living people]." Bella would be 100 or 101 and I did a search and there is no documentation that he has been alive for many decades, so I don't understand why my edit was reverted, as it seems perfectly appropriate. He was only added to the "living people" category by User:Magioladitis, who seems to have gone through uncategorized pages and added the "living people" category to people under the age of 122. I feel that my edit more accurately conveys his living status and is perfectly acceptably by the category policies. Also, I've had a similar discussion previously. 209.243.6.249 (talk) 23:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Clicking around on "recent changes," I saw an edit summary that read "Replaced content with ' mehj mehj is a name that loads of people have in the middle east.'" Without thinking, I clicked "undo" and reverted the change... and then I realized I had just reverted an edit on a user talk page that was made by that user.

I immediately reverted my own revert, apologizing in the edit summary for the mistake. See[1].

It turns out that you're faster than I am, so you also reverted my error and placed a warning on my talk page. I just wanted to explain that my "unconstructive" edit was made in good faith but poor attentiveness, and I'll be more careful in the future.

Since this was all a misunderstanding anyway, I'm removing your warning from my talk page. I apologize for the confusion I caused. Aylad ['ɑɪlæd] 18:00, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Can you please not revert the edit and accuse me of vandalizing, if you read the talk page you'll see that I have provided a clear and lenghty explanation for why I removed the section. Thanks

For looking out for my userpage! Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 12:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

I have reason to believe that user:only88keys is not a Wikipedia sockpuppet of Jonny4026. That is because Jonny4026 is me, and Only88keys is not me. However, Jonny4027 and Jonny4028 (my current account) are, strangely enough, Wikipedia sockpuppets of Jonny4026. Please feel free to rectify that error. p.s. You might want to look into category: suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Paulmch as well. Jonny4028 (talk) 18:43, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

for reverting vandalism on my userpage. I greatly appreciate it. BTW, this was the first time my userpage was ever vandlized :). Nice to meet you! Regards, Airplaneman ^talk 06:11, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

It's always a pleasure fighting vandals. I was even more surprised about the fact that I managed to beat ClueBot in reverting your page. Jovianeye (talk) 14:25, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Plz comsider not to revert the page mohar. as you are also an indian, i would like to tell you that mohar is caste(last name) for some jatt-sikh living in punjab like sindhu or brars and many others refer to Clans_of_jatt in wikipedia.

so mohar should be used for the clan and not to be redirected to napalese mohar..

regards

The badges on the user page are called userboxes. Please see WP:USERBOX. Also please sign your talk by using four tildes (~). Jovianeye (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting my talk page! Happy editing, --Catgut (talk) 04:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Always welcome! Jovianeye (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Just a quick note regarding this deleted article (hopefully you remember the edit sequence). The article was a copyright violation as noted by CorenSearchBot. The original author blanked the article, which you reverted, and then warned the editor [2]. The proper thing to do in this situation is to not revert and warn the editor, but to place a {{db-author}} tag on the article so that it can be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Just dropping a note to let you know why I reverted this edit. We do not allow non-free images to be used in list articles; see WP:NFLISTS for more detailed information. Thanks for your contributions! (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Dbrodbeck (talk) 05:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Please replace the report you overwrote with this edit, moments after I added it. Thank you. --58.174.73.169 (talk) 16:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I have added your report to the page. JovianEye (talk) 16:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Please be careful about edit conflicts when reporting vandals - your edit here overwrote and lost my report of 66.93.216.56. Thanks, CliffC (talk) 18:27, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Please be aware that I generally edit the Administrator Intervention against Vandalism page using the software Huggle (WP:HUGGLE). So, if your edit has been overwritten, please understand that it is not intentional. JovianEye (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Don't you get an Edit Conflict warning sometimes when you click "Save page" in AIV? Since the page is so high volume, AIV is notorious for these. If you don't get a warning, there's something broken in Huggle and you should report it. --CliffC (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

When using Huggle, the software does everything related to the reporting procedure. So, I dont get any Edit conflict notices. Perhaps you are right, there must be a bug in the software. I have reported this issue on the related feedback page. JovianEye (talk) 19:09, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Something similar just happened to me. Also, your comment above about the edit not being intentional is, umm, lame. You, and you alone, are responsible for the edits you make, using whatever tool. If you choose to use an unreliable tool ... Philip Trueman (talk) 16:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

The edits done to WP:AIAV were using WP:HUGGLE. 2 other users have also informed me in the past that the software has overwritten their reports on the page. I believe the same issue has happened again. I personally feel that there is a bug in the software and I assure you that it was not done intentionally. JovianEye (talk) 17:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Always welcome! JovianEye (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I wrote some "cultural context" for the "bhabhi" article, which some fairly anonymous user deleted and you reverted. You might be interested to hear that since then it has been vandalised with some juvenile comments, then deleted again.

I've had pretty much the same problem with a similar section on cultural context in the "Savita Bhabhi" article. On 12/20 at 17:19 "Defender of Torch" proclaimed it "original research" and deleted the whole section, even though most of it was quotations and links. No discussion, no editing to remove or improve whatever he thought went beyond the links, just bam! It's gone.

Given the nature of the material I'm suspecting censorship. Defending the honor of Hindu women, that sort of thing. Obviously I beg to differ. I think the sexual politics of South Asian extended families are as valid a topic for discussion as sexual politics in the West, and that folks from other cultures ought to be able to get information on why a sister-in-law or brother-in-law would especially be a sex object of sorts in that part of the world.

So what do I do now? Can you help? BTW, "Jusdafax" also did a revert to "bhabhi", so I'm posting on his talk page too. Just so we don't all bump heads! LADave (talk) 00:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I did revert an edit on Savita Bhabhi here. But I dont see any of your edits which I reverted! JovianEye (talk) 00:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Please check your revision to the "Bhabhi" article on Dec. 15 at 18:04. What I'm saying is that I had a similar problem with "Savita Bhabhi" that nobody reverted. Thanks! LADave (talk) 11:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

When I check for Bhabhi article I find a disambiguation page. One article is on Savita Bhabhi and the other is Bhabhi (TV series). In neither of the two articles have I made an edit on Dec. 15 at 18:04. JovianEye (talk) 16:46, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Look at the history of the same page. It actually used to be an article until the vandals deleted almost everything. Then you'll see where you reverted an edit by 71.202.232.158. LADave (talk) 21:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Now I saw the edit that I reverted. The material that you had added to the page lacked referencing. Because it involves a sensitive subject you should consider adding citations. I guess you can start a topic on the discussion page of the article to reach a consensus with other editors. JovianEye (talk) 21:53, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I added citations and the material was deleted again on grounds that I was using WP as a "soapbox". In response I have launched a discussion at Talk:Bhabhi. Your participation is earnestly solicited, as is input from those who have deleted other than anonymously. I'm willing to entertain the proposition that Wikipedia isn't the right place for the material, but wanted to hear from the spectrum of opinion first. LADave (talk) 11:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I felt like it was unnecessary to have it there. And I deleted it because it made the article have a huge gap. --Homezfoo (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

An audio sample in music article is constructive. A lot of articles of music bands have audio samples. What do you mean it gave the article a huge gap? I think the article already has a huge gap because of the lack of audio samples. JovianEye (talk) 04:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

In addition, I'll add that non-free material is to be avoided in articles. The limit is pretty much considered to be one item, and the My Immortal article already has an image, and should not have another non-free item that is even more likely to cause complaints from labels. All Evanescence audio clips were removed close to two years ago for this reason, so it is inadvisable to start readding them. — Huntster (t @ c) 04:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Then I must ask, why does the Iron Maiden article have 4 audio samples, all of which continue to have copyright. JovianEye (talk) 04:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

There's a long-time saying here: "Just because another article does something, doesn't mean it is right". I'll add to that "...or permissible". That said, I'll check out what's going on over at Iron Maiden, though as I'm not a primary editor there, I be cautious on my approach. — Huntster (t @ c) 05:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Good work in uploading a new Avianca logo. Someone kept adding the logo for Avianca's Brazilian affiliate to the Avianca article, the logo you uploaded is much more appropriate. YSSYguy (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! JovianEye (talk) 23:35, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

If you want to load an SVG version of the TI logo it would be good to crop the India bit at the bottom. TI was a UK group operating worldwide Dormskirk (talk) 23:33, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the factual error. I have uploaded a new cropped version of the file and added it to the article. JovianEye (talk) 23:55, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Good job. Thanks Dormskirk (talk) 23:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

You're not a bot, so you probably didn't notice my hidden {{nobots}}{{bots|optout=all}} templates on my talk page. However, I upload a lot of images for other people, and transfer from project to project. Many of them are fair use, and none of them are mine, nor do I care that they're going to be deleted. I've opted out of bots leaving me messages like this, and I'd much rather people didn't as well, as it has been occasionally a considerable waste of my time.

Please be on the lookout for those tags on the top of people's pages before you leave them "automated" image deletion messages. Thanks. Bastique ^demandez 23:00, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I run into you constantly: keep up the good work. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 19:13, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank god! I was shocked. JovianEye (talk) 19:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Haha, you should have given me one of these: Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes.

BTW You might want to help convert some of the other logo images I've been tagging recently, see my contributions :) - Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: your reversion; as per my edit summaries, the section is speculation duplicated from another article.

I undid your revision, as the SVG logo you had replaced the PNG one with was their old logo which they haven't used for over 4 years.

Could I please ask why you rolled back my requests to the graphic lab? Connormah (talk | contribs) 22:46, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it was accidental! I was viewing recent changes on my cell phone when I hit revert by mistake. My sincere apologies!!! --JovianEye (talk) 22:53, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

The deletion I made was a deletion of a duplicate section. There was already a section with the exact same title and substance and it was redundant to have two sections with the same information. --76.115.163.55 (talk) 06:37, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

You were right about the duplicate sub-section in the article! I have removed it from the article. I have also removed the warning I issued on your talk page. I apologize for the issue! --JovianEye (talk) 06:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Was that not THE best vandalism ever? --Leodmacleod (talk) 18:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Numerous issues have arisen with some of the images and logos you have uploaded. I am sure you were just trying to build the encyclopedia but it is vital that images be properly sourced so that we can determine copyright status. As you know, these are a special kind of image which is not typically subject to copyright issues because they are only text. But they must still be sourced. Otherwise they will be deleted once moved to Common. Several have been noted on your page here so please up us fix them. If you have questions, let me or another administrator know. JodyB _talk 17:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Once resolved they can be removed :) Sfan00 IMG (talk)

Hi, I have replaced the SVG logo you placed on Timex Group USA, Inc. with a new properly identified logo file containing Non-Free Use Rationale. The logo file titled "File:Timex_Group_logo.svg" does not belong in Commons – the logo is a corporate trademark in active use and therefore does not belong in the public domain. Thank you. Dtgriffith (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Following-up - I read up on your links for distinguishing the Copyright and Trademark licenses, the information is not easy to find at first – thank you. Though I do not agree with the outlined practices for handling trademarked logotypes I will abide by them. Very important – the legally named trademark holder for this logo needs to read "Timex Group USA, Inc." not "Timex Group". Also, I need to ask that you attribute the proper source of the logo you used to generate the SVG rather than claiming it as your "own work". Your cooperation would be much appreciated. Thanks again. Dtgriffith (talk) 01:00, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I have added the URL source for the logo based on your input. The logo of Timex Group reads only "TIMEX GROUP". See here. Timex Group USA, Inc. is the actual name of the company, I agree on that, but the logo isn't based on the legal company name. For instance, Sony's logo only includes "SONY" and not "SONY, Corporation". --JovianEye (talk) 01:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
