We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just

Hi, Jack. Thank you for helping out at 3O! Help in

This case was also written in a way that couldn't be further from neutral, but I will make sure to leave ones that don't have other problems around in the future. Jackmcbarn (talk) 15:43, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I pulled the sig off of it, but should have done more and then got tagged for my sloth. That was the reason I went back and looked at it again. It's back again, BTW, and I've done a better job of neutralizing it this time. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jack: I've removed the 3O you posted. Would you please restate it in accordance with the instructions. E.g., without all the details. I'll do my best to take a look at the question once you do. (At the moment I have no idea what the issue is about. The article talk page should have the question clearly laid out.) Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 04:10, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

@Srich32977: I don't think that Jack posted that. I think he just did some cleanup on it as a 3O volunteer. It was posted by a frequently-changing dynamic IP, 109.78.24.155 (talk · contribs) at the time, and I don't think that's Jack. While I certainly agree with your close, if it were refiled I'd close it for no talk page discussion. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

You're correct TransporterMan, I didn't post that. I just edited it so it didn't break the page layout. Jackmcbarn (talk) 14:49, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I've stricken my comments about you, Jack, posting the 3O. My misunderstanding and my apologies. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 15:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jack, thanks for the information. I just want to create a page saying the following: Winner.com

Winner.com is an interactive gaming company founded in 2009. It operates an online casino, online poker, online bingo, online games and an online bookmakers. 

Winner is operated by Zirconium Gaming Limited (registered in Antigua and Barbuda) Advertising Winner.com adverts have appeared on several main UK TV channels, including Sky Sports News, Sky Sports 1-3, Comedy Central, Comcen Extra, Fox / Music Channels, Dave and E4.

Winner.com can also be seen on advertising banners around several Premier League and Championship football grounds. 

Operations

Winner employs roughly 500+ employees with the offices spread across the world.

Now I am working for Winner.com, and have written this with your guidelines in mind. I have also noticed that other companies like ours own Wikipedia pages, such as: William Hill, Paddy Power, Ladbrokes etc. Do you have any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobmiesling (talk • contribs) 15:10, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Writing an article about your company is a really bad idea, no matter how careful you're being. If you have no choice but to write the article, you should use the

Article Wizard and create it as an Articles for creation submission. Experienced editors will then be able to help you get the article into an appropriate state for inclusion into the encyclopedia. Jackmcbarn (talk

Jack, slow down a little. I am a new user to wikipedia. I deleted the "talk" on my page, because i got an option to. I clean my inbox in the same way, and deleted the message, figuring that i didn't need to read it anymore. You may want to angle your approach towards sympathetic instead of assumptive and directly provocative. I am not trying to cause issues, rather am trying to get a hang of how to navigate around wikipedia. I don't think attacking my mistakes will necessarily make me understand what i am doing wrong, especially if you take a aggresive tone to it. Also with regards to the changes to Heidi Hautala, I assumed that a photographer sharing his photographs on wiki commons needs to leave his name in the form of "photograph by Marshall Niles" under his own work. If i did that (without adding my own website, as you advised me not to), and that seems to bother you to a point where you accuse me of disruptive editing and more, then this is a no brainer for me. I'm looking for positive guidance, not aggressive tough love. If you are representing wikipedia, I think you can do a better job at interacting with new users. Remember, less assumption, more clarification;) Thank you! Marshall.niles (talk) 15:34, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm not attacking your mistake, and it's not a mistake, since after I corrected it and told you about it, you reverted me and put it back. We don't credit photographers in articles. We credit photographers on the file description page. You agreed to that when you uploaded your images. Also, clearing your user talk page, though allowed, is discouraged.

I just wanted to apologize for removing the content that you replaced. I thought the text was repetitive since a very similar body of text was in one of the other sections. We can keep it if you think it's necessary though. --Splin--ter21 (talk) 21:36, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

That page has had a problem for a long time with editors trying to sneak out any content that makes Qnet sound bad, so I just re-added it because you didn't mention removing it in your edit summary. I personally think it's good to repeat those particular facts in the lead, but if you don't, you can remove them again. Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:45, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

I think I'll go ahead an remove that section of the intro. It will seem less redundant seeing as how an almost identical paragraph is also in a different section. --Splin--ter21 (talk) 17:51, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

The way you formatted the article, it's currently almost impossible to read. The table of contents you added isn't necessary. One will be added automatically. Also, instead of doing headings like "heading [edit source]", put "==heading==" and it will set everything up for you. References should be wrapped in <ref></ref> tags, and {{reflist}} should be added to the end of the page. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:59, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Jack,

I moved your comment about db-p1 to Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion, since this is a more appropriate place to discuss this. Template talk:Db-meta is more for technical issues with the templates themselves. Ego White Tray (talk) 04:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 14:20, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I have just noticed that you declined by G11 speedy of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/EtQ, Inc. with the comment "I thought we didn't do this for AfCs "

I rather thought we did, for I've deleted over a hundred such, as nominated by other editors, and other admins have deleted probably about twice that number of mine. What is true, is that the standards are not as demanding, for we make a greater assumption that the problems are fixable. But undoubted advertisement should be removed anywhere in Wikipedia, and I think this qualifies. I'm not sure what procedure will work, though I might try MfD--There has been some discussion about how to prevent or at least discourage the multiple tries at hopeless articles short of waiting for G13.

Hello Jackmcbarn

Sir i read your last message i don't understand what should i do to remove the mfd?

(Farhad shahnawaz (talk) 01:02, 24 September 2013 (UTC))

You can't remove it for now. All Wikipedia editors are invited to discuss whether to delete the pages you created. In about a week, the discussion will close. When it closes, if the decision was to keep the pages, the mfd notice will then be removed from the pages. If the decision was to delete the pages, the pages will all be deleted in their entirety and should not be recreated. Currently, it appears that the pages will be deleted. If you want them to be kept, you should post at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Farhad shahnawaz explaining why. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:05, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Jack,

I wondered if you would take a look at my article? I've followed your advice closely, as well as have been working with Anne Delong on several other issues. I believe the article can be accepted. Still, I would appreciate any other recommendation you might give me.

Again, thank you for your time and kind advice.

It's in the queue and a reviewer will get to it soon. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:14, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Jack, I'm hoping your technical knowledge extends to configuring bot archiving. MiszaBot is not working. Therefore, another user changed ANI's archiving to ClueBot, but ClueBot hasn't archived it. I'm assuming it's incorrectly configured, but I don't know what's wrong with it. I've e-mailed the owner of ClueBot, but so far no response. Anything you can do to help? ANI is getting really unwieldy. It may implode soon - now that would be real drama.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:33, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

MiszaBot II is just dead, and Misza13 doesn't seem to be reachable, so we're out of luck there. To make matters worse, since the archive for ANI isn't a subpage of ANI, a key is needed to get ClueBot III to archive it, and nobody seems to know what the right key is, and Cobi doesn't seem to be around. I've tweaked the template a little bit, but I don't have high hopes. We need to get either Misza13 or Cobi back, or someone else needs to write an archive bot. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:44, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I figured it might be related to that stupid key. We shouldn't be so dependent on these absentee bot owners.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

In your last edit, you changed the key, but you changed the age (from 36 to 24), not the numberstart as your edit summary said. I don't think we want to archive anything that is only 24 hours old.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:52, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

The key might be calculated based on that (it's a big secret where it comes from), so I think we should try for a while, since 24-hour archiving is better than no archiving. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:53, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I haven't gone back and looked at the documentation, but when is the key needed? I've seen talk pages of users currently being archived by ClueBot, and the template doesn't even use the key. Is it for "new" archiving or what?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:55, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

The key is needed because the archives aren't subpages of the page being archived. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:56, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Ah, got it - is that intentional in this case so that a key is required? I am watching your talk page and don't need the talkbacks, although if it's urgent, I'll no doubt see the orange thingie before I refresh my watchlist.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it's intentional. The idea is to keep people who don't know what they're doing from archiving something to somewhere inappropriate, though it would be good if more than one person knew how to generate keys, or even if it just needed "override=yes" or something instead of a key. Jackmcbarn (talk) 00:03, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

A keyless ignition would be useful. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 00:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I've been reverting your edits because they didn't seem to be constructive to me. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:13, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

All statements added to Madley park are true and in no way non constructive as you suggest. The 'history' section you have added lacks any actual history of the site at all and is in no way informative! I lived in the area from birth and did indeed frequent the strawberry fields and thus feel this is a very important part of the 'history' section. Please further research the area if you wish to comment on such edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.100.229 (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

It's impossible to have 2.4 children. If anything else is correct,

) 20:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

If you were local to the area, which you clearly aren't, you would know they were indeed strawberry fields. I don't need to cite proof to you or anyone, it's FACT. Ask anyone who knows Witney. As for having 2.4 children, this is of course an old 'average family' saying. However, Lee Thornett does have 2 children and another on the way (in approx 5 months time) so you could actually say at present, they have 2.4 children. Again, your info on Madley is seriously lacking info!! Step up Jack, if you care. I'd like to see a deeper history/current status of Madley park. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.100.229 (talk) 20:42, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Well in that case, him sitting at a level 4 is a little unjustified, and it's in large part due to my misinterpretation of his edits and intent. Would you mind if I set him at a lower level or clear the warnings altogether? --RacerX¹¹ Talk to me^{Stalk me} 22:49, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

The number is incorrect. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:58, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but the number you are reverting to is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.175.27.29 (talk) 19:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but the number you are reverting to is incorrect. The articles "Pashtun diaspora" and "Pasthun people" were factually correct till last month. A couple of users keep putting in unreliable and fabricated information. If you want to leave a number till this dispute is resolved, at least leave the number that was acknowledged to be correct for the majority of the articles history! Check it yourself!184.175.27.29 (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Looking. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:04, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

It looks like you're getting the ethnic group mixed up with speakers of the language, which seems to have been the source of the confusion. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:17, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

The number of 11 million is totally unsubstantiated. There is no such ethnic group information in the census. The speakers of the language is the closest information in the census that is valid. I am going to involve User:Khestwol who is a user much more heavily involved in editing wiki pages for Pashtun topics. 184.175.27.29 (talk) 20:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay, that sounds reasonable. I've removed most of my warnings from your talk page. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:27, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Dear Jackmcbarn

My name is Timothy, (username tcneumann) I sincerely apologise, the removal was by accident, i am new to learning the process of table formatting, duplicated the code from the help page to mine to template a table and accidentally deleted your content instead of mine due to working on the safari tab!

On a side note, i am wondering if you sir may be able to help with table format that i would like to input into my page [9]

What i would like to do if you may be able to have a quick look is push the orange table margin to right screen, thus pushing 'Where else can Dietary Calcium be found?' down to begin a line under the coloured tables?

Please advice me if this is possible.

Most kind regards Timothy Neumann tcneumann — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcneumann (talk • contribs) 02:10, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Your current account hasn't made any edits at all, other than to post this message. What account did you make the accidental removal from? Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry sir, that was merely a mistake. Please undo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.124.47.147 (talk) 02:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry, I already restored it. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:19, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I have informed an admin about this case, I am easily trying to follow

That's good. By the way, you were undoing a lot more than just name changes. There was a lot of content you were removing. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:20, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

The majority of the content he added where japanized edits, I can easily add them in later, but since he's probably going to be back, I don't think nows a good time. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 02:22, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I was just trying to decide if this person was notable or not and I went back to the page from google (where I could find nothing) to find you had a deletion note on the page. :-) -- 🍺 Antiqueight ^confer 02:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Yep. And as I expected, de-PROD'd by an IP with no unrelated constructive edits and no explanation. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:44, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I added Direction information to the Toronto Premium Outlets wiki since this what many people have questions about. You stated that it "violates external links policy". What do i need to do not to violate it? I think a link to Go Transit and the Shuttle Bus is appropriate.

Directions to a place aren't really appropriate for an encyclopedia article. We're not here to advertise the mall in question, or transportation services. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jack,

We have corresponded before about your declining the entry for the American Soceity of Interventional Pain Physicans. Your rejection was based upon our only having one source for our information, namely, our web site--www.asipp.org

The American Society of Anesthesiologists has NO references on their entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_of_Anesthesiologists

Isn't that inconsistent on the part of Wikipedia? I am not trying to be combative or sarcastic. We are a legitimate organization with 4,500 members. We publish books, a peer-reviewed medical journal, and we hold educational seminars for doctors all over the country. The only other sources I could provide about us are press releases floating around on the Internet. But they typically deal with a single issue, such as the dangers of prescription painkillers, etc.

Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

The issue is listed in the pink decline box. The problem with the submission right now is that it doesn't have the right tone for an encyclopedia article. It needs to be formal and give just the facts, from a

neutral point of view. Right now, it seems to cast the subject too positively. Jackmcbarn (talk

Regarding The Louisiana Marathon - this was my first article and I believe there is value in the content. I'd like to restart with a more encyclopedic approach and re-submit - is that OK? Rappla7 (talk) 12:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
