Is there a way you can incorporate File:Wikipe-tan pointing at the TV.png into a humorous essay? I'm asking this because there should be a criteria to deter against anybody uploading their fan made images on Wikipedia. My worry is this gives another reason for those against Wikipe-tan to want the information deleted from the encyclopedia. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:30, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230122173000","author":"Knowledgekid87","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Knowledgekid87-20230122173000-Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan","replies":["c-JPxG-20230122211100-Knowledgekid87-20230122173000"]}}-->

@Mccapra and Shirt58: Shit!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about that. I see on Xtools that it created two mainspace pages.

I have made about 650 edits to Signpost pages to fix a few thousand Linter errors. In order to be able to make more progress, there are a couple of systemic problems with unbalanced <div>...</div> tags that need to be tidied up on a few thousand pages. I do not have AWB or JWB to be able to make those edits, and my sanity will not survive that volume of editing with other tools. I left you a couple of notes at the Signpost/Technical page. If you have time to make these div-tag-related edits, that will help me find and fix additional remaining errors that are essentially hiding behind the div tag noise in the error reports. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:26, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230130012600","author":"Jonesey95","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jonesey95-20230130012600-Time_for_some_JWB_Linter_error_work","replies":[]}}-->

Well, I'm not sure what our lives on this Earth accomplish, but this specific edit is part of a campaign to eliminate some of the redundant tags in the module. For example, encyclopediabritannica → britannica, arbitrationcommittee → arbcom, wikimediamovementaffiliates → affiliates, award → awards, et cetera. Some of them, like ios, I removed because they only existed on one article. In this specific case, the tag was kind of strange: it was only on one article (Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-05-31/In the media) which was about COVID, Larry Sanger, top editors and French SPI cases, and does not contain the word "judaism", "jews", "jewish", et cetera anywhere.

I'm being a little aggressive with it because it's easy to reverse. I have records of every tag removal, and I have written a separate script that can add multiple tags to multiple articles from the command line (https://github.com/jp-x-g/wegweiser/blob/main/mass_tagger.py ). jp×g 02:17, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230131021700","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-JPxG-20230131021700-Chris_troutman-20230131004700","replies":["c-Chris_troutman-20230131024100-JPxG-20230131021700"],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

Actually the bot's edit altered my edit tagging Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-04-26/In the media which has a section entitled "Jew-Tagging". You may have read about this issue as Wikipedia's biographies discuss or mention a subject's Jewishness. Signpost doesn't cover antisemitism or this biographical issue often, but I think the point of meta-tagging is supposed to help us identify coverage along these lines. I suggest you revert and re-consider your methodology.

I apologize if I have fucked up some of the tags. It is pretty slow going with this, since there are still about 596 articles with no tags at all, and I am more or less working alone on most of it. I have written an improved search, which looks like it could turn up some more articles. Hopefully I will be finished with the series templates and pages in time for the Feb 1 issue. jp×g 05:46, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230131054600","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-JPxG-20230131054600-Chris_troutman-20230131024100","replies":[],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

The article GPT-4 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

per WP:CRYSTAL. The whole article is based on "rumors"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, JPxG,

As you can see by looking at User:SDZeroBot/G13 eligible, your User page is showing up on our list of pages to delete because they are eligible for CSD G13. The editor who was tagging pages for deletion this morning when it became eligible skipped tagging your user page but it showed up on tonight's list.

I see three solutions here:

• a) Tag your User page for deletion, CSD G7
• b) Review the content and find the code that indicates that this page has been submitted to AFC. I tried unsuccessfully to locate this content/tag but it is an enormously long page and you might have more success locating what it is causing it to show up as an article draft.
• c) Make an edit to the page every 6 months so that it is no longer eligible for speedy deletion, CSD G13. This seems like the simplest solution if you want to retain this user page but you will have to remember to do this by February 3rd and August 3rd of each coming year.

I'd appreciate it if you could take some action regarding this page because otherwise it will continue to show up on the daily G13 eligible list. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Hey JPxG! A random thought came into my mind and i was thinking about possibly contributing to the Signpost (yes I know I had decided to work on the WPVG newsletter but that's currently on hold indefinitely until I decide what to do with it). I looked at the stuff that has "Help needed!" and I'm considering possibly doing a "WikiProject Report" but given my limited availability due to things in real life I"m not sure if it would be a good idea since I think I read in a previous issue that the Signpost is now published fortnightly which would severely limit the time I have to work on it. What are your thoughts on this? Also I noticed on your userpage you have this: "It seems today that all you see is violence on the talk page and edit wars in the history. But where are those good old-fashioned sources, on which we've come to rely?" which I believe is a reference to Family Guy? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:33, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230221203300","author":"Blaze Wolf","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Blaze_Wolf-20230221203300-Signpost","replies":["c-JPxG-20231025085900-Blaze_Wolf-20230221203300"],"displayName":"Blaze\u00a0Wolf"}}-->

@Bri: Looks like someone took care of it in April ("elimino links rotos o no seguros"), proving once and for all that ignoring problems is the best way to deal with them (?). jp×g 09:00, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231025090000","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-JPxG-20231025090000-Bri-20230302205400","replies":[],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

I confess to being confused by this comment. The general community isn't going to make you party to a case as a result of decisions you didn't make, and text you didn't write, edit, or review. The group that might apportion some degree of responsibility to you is the Signpost team... but you chose to post to the incidents noticeboard first instead of the newsroom talk page, and were critical of the decisions made in your absence. If you were trying to find a humourous way to take responsibility, I don't feel it was effective. isaacl (talk) 18:16, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230311181600","author":"Isaacl","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Isaacl-20230311181600-Signpost_activity","replies":["c-JPxG-20231025090700-Isaacl-20230311181600"]}}-->

@Isaacl: I mean, that's what I signed up for. If my writers and editors get shitcanned or sitebanned or whatever for writing an article, and I'm unable to intercede to prevent the incident from happening or to take the blame onto myself, I might as well resign because so much for my integrity as an editor in chief. jp×g 09:07, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231025090700","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-JPxG-20231025090700-Isaacl-20230311181600","replies":["c-Isaacl-20231025172700-JPxG-20231025090700"],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

To be able to intercede effectively, you have to be involved in the preparation of the issue. Otherwise, when you say an article needed more oversight, then you are criticizing those who were involved, which excludes you. Furthermore, by not participating in the corresponding discussion on the newsroom talk page, you seem to be leaving the Signpost editors to fend for themselves, without providing overall editorial guidance.

Note there have been discussions about the importance of sticking to deadlines and the need for the editor-in-chief to co-ordinate production, such as Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Archive 35 § Publication schedule. Of course, unexpected changes can occur, but as much as feasible, availability to perform the necessary tasks ought to be forecast, and alternative plans be put in place if an absence is unavoidable. isaacl (talk) 17:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231025172700","author":"Isaacl","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Isaacl-20231025172700-JPxG-20231025090700","replies":["c-JPxG-20231025230500-Isaacl-20231025172700"]}}-->

When I said the article could have used more copyediting, I meant that I should have been around to participate in it and help out more than I did. This was a rather embarrassing incident I hope not to be repeated. jp×g 23:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231025230500","author":"JPxG","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-JPxG-20231025230500-Isaacl-20231025172700","replies":[],"displayName":"jp"}}-->

Please read how Holocaust studies was started by the Israeli embassy in a secret meeting. Then please read about the recent initiative of Grabowski to censor Wikipedia: [23], [24]. Wikipedia shouldn't censor Polish scholars who cover the heroic efforts of the Poles to fight Germany and rescue Jews. 188.147.175.5 (talk) 09:28, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230312092800","author":"188.147.175.5","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-188.147.175.5-20230312092800-Censorship_attempts","replies":[]}}-->
