Human Rights entry on the National Cheng Kung University page
Dear Jac, Will you please explain why my Human Rights entry on the National Cheng Kung University page was removed for being "poorly sourced"? I don't understand. It's been on for weeks now. It's completely sourced, in both Chinese and English, with official court and Ministry of Education documents. Your removal came on the same day when an editor pushed my human rights entry further down the page with this comment:
(cur | prev) 00:37, 28 November 2010 128.232.134.168 (talk) (8,868 bytes) (Moved "Human rights record" section further down the page becuase it seems less important than much of the other content, and of less interest to the general reader.) (undo)
I commented on his Talk Page:

Re: your comment: (Moved "Human rights record" section further down the page becuase it seems less important than much of the other content, and of less interest to the general reader.)
I don't understand your point of view: what is more important than human rights, especially for a university, which can only stand on moral integrity and human rights. Without human rights on what basis can a university stand: Without the insurance of human rights, how can a university insure the integrity of grading, of the curriculum, of academic promotion? That's why tenure was established at many universities in the first place. Do you really think human rights is of lesser importance than how many colleges there are at a university? Human rights may not be of primary importance in Mainland China, but it should certainly be of primary importance at a university in Taiwan, which calls itself a democracy and which has only recently formally endorsed international human rights charters. --Cincinattus (talk) 03:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Your comment was:
(cur | prev) 00:58, 28 November 2010 Jac16888 (talk | contribs) (7,237 bytes) (→Human Rights Record: rm poorly sourced allegations) (undo)
But how can these be "poorly sourced allegations"? They're not even "allegations" in the stric legal sense of that word. A person "allegedly" committed a crime until he's convicted; then it's legally justified to say that person committed that crime. An allegation is an accusation that has not been verified. But both court and Ministry of Education documents have fully verified my statement, which therefore cannot be called mere "allegations."
If these were indeed "allegations" they would have been removed immediately as soon as I posted them, but they were not, once I "sourced" the claims with legal documents (and if court and Ministry of Education rulings and letters are not "legal" then I don't understand what currency the word "legal" has on Wikipedia. Why was my entry left on for seeks after I "sourced" it then removed on the same day that user 128.232.134.168 thought legal rights "less important" and of "less interest"? First, human rights are of primary importance to a university, or at least should be. If 128.232.134.168 thinks otherwise, he or she has a right to that opinion; but I doubt it would be shared by most academics. And I'm not sure if a university should establish itself on what's interesting or uninteresting. I think a university should establish itself on what's just or unjust. The recent incident regarding Ms. Yang Shun-chun shows how sensitive the issue of injustice can be in Taiwan, or does the issue of justice just pertain to Taiwanese and not to foreigners?
But evidently the agenda of 128.232.134.168 is different from mine, so I'll address the main issue here to you. Please Jac, explain to me what you mean by "unsourced" and why this claim was made only now and not before when the sourcing has not changed since it was first entered no later than November 7, 2010. Thanks for your consideration, Jac. --Cincinattus (talk) 03:31, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- The reason I removed the content again is exactly the same as before, it only occurs now because the ip's edit brought the page back to the top of my watchlist, I missed your last edit. You seem to not be listening to what I say so I'll try and be clear. You are clearly not a neutral party in respect to this issue, so therefore should not be editing about it, WP:NPOV. Your "documents" give no indication that they are in fact real at all, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and the fact that they are coming from your own personal blog makes them even less reliable. Please remove the content until such time as you are able to properly source them--Jac16888Talk 03:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- You're starting to get on my nerves now. I say biased because the entire section is about you! you make it clear on your blog that you are the one with the complaint, and even shows that you are attempting to use wikipedia to further your own goals--Jac16888Talk 17:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
School of young pilots
By what criteria my article "School of young pilots" has been removed? In a direct reference on this article in Russian Wikipedia - http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Школа_юных_лётчиков
On level Babel it is visible that I know English on 2. If in article there was an incorrect transfer, it was necessary to correct it, but not to delete the necessary article. I haven't had time even to add information sources. I ask to restore. I ask to answer me personally —Preceding unsigned comment added by Behind the river (talk • contribs) 18:02, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- I removed it because you had clearly simply run the russian article through a machine translator, resulting in an article was entirely unintelligible, which is of no use to anybody. If you want to write an article about it, start from scratch and translate it properly--Jac16888Talk 18:05, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello Jac...........
Your transfer of my articles to another subpage was uncalled for and has greatly caused untold hardship to my smooth accessibility of my articles.Thanks.Earlymen (talk) 02:04,30 November 2010 (UTC)
- I did it because you have put them in the wrong place. By including a space after your username and before the / you have meant that they are ownerless(see Wikipedia:Database reports/Ownerless pages in the user space. I fail to see the untold hardship, surely you only need to correct a few links. Since you have decided to recreate the pages, they will now have to be dealt with as well. I will give you some time to deal with it before I do--Jac16888Talk 15:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi... I have recently been working on the Homosexuals Anonymous article, and have nominated it for GA. The logs show that you deleted an earlier version of the article under A7. So, I wanted to ask (a) if you see any problem with the current version from a notability perspective, and (b) whether any of the three deleted versions contain any content of value that I might be able to add to the current article?

77backup
Dear Jac, I just found that you deleted my entry about 77backup software : A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content) I am new to wikipedia, but really believe that yhe guys from that team did contribute to the development of the backup services industry in the mi 2000's. Although perhaps I didn't express it clearly. Please note that I am not part of that company (and have not financial interest in it) - I am a customer since the beginning of the company, and I am delighted by the product and the quality of the service. I was told that they a steady base of customer both in France and in the US. Would you accept to un-delete it and let me explain ? Thanks for your help. Regards

Hi Jac! I see that you removed the {{cleanup-translation}}
template from the El Nora Alila article. I’m cool with that. Not speaking/reading Hebrew, I had no way of knowing if the then newly added English translation was correct. I see that subsequently you removed the article’s entry at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English (shortcut → WP:PNT), which I understand to be correct procedure. However, my only question is, when you did so, did you feel that Cbdorsett’s concern was effectively dealt with? (See here and here.) I was not entirely certain as to how to deal with his concern and so had not closed the article’s entry at WP:PNT. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 21:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't really look into that to be honest, I was just going by it being readable, and I doubt the article will go any further or recieve any more attention, tagged or not--Jac16888Talk 23:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- You, no doubt, have more experience than do I regarding WP:PNT. To be honest, this was the first such wikiarticle with which I’ve ever dealt. I was doing recent changes patrol (RCP) and it appeared in my Huggle screen. I could see in the history that, a few minutes earlier, an IP-only editor had added a translation, but that it was almost immediately reverted by another RCPer as vandalism. When the IP-only editor later re-inserted the translation, I removed the
{{Notenglish-section}}
template and placed a comment on the other RCPer’s page to prevent it being reverted again. Then I acquainted myself with WP:PNT and followed the rest of the procedure.As for your comment above, the cleanup-translation template had indeed been there for awhile, and, as you say, will probably not “go any further or recieve any more attention, tagged or not.” Also, if User:Cbdorsett reads Hebrew, as evidenced by his comments, the translation must be an otherwise good one since he had no major objections. His primary concern was one of attribution (i.e., credit). So, thanks for taking care of this! I’ve had it watchlisted for months. — SpikeToronto 01:14, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

My article Елена Ашотовна Алексанян
Dear Jac16888,
You have deleted my recently created article 'Елена Ашотовна Алексанян'. I put it online yesterday and it was deleted immidiately with a label 'move back to userspace draft, its not ready if its still in Russian'. I assume the reason is that the article is in Russian, but I created it in English version of Wikipedia? It is meant to be in Russian, because people who will be likely using and benefiting from it - are Russian readers. I assumed that all the Wikipedias are interconnected and that even if you create an article in English Wikipedia it will appear in all the Wikipedia versions including Russian. It seems, it is not the case. But could you please explain me what do I need to do? Do I have to create a new account in Russian Wikipedia and start it all over again? Or I can somehow transfer my article there or there is a special procedure I need to follow?
I would be very grateful your help.
Many thanks,

Hello, can you please explain whz did delete my page Convertizor de frecvenţă ? I saw that you said it similar to Variable-frequency drive (CSD A10) topic, but my page is in Romanian and it is my own material ,it has nothing to do with Variable-frequency drive (CSD A10 topic.

Question
Dear Administrator, I would like have our website referenced as done for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcams_(Website) Is it possible? Do you have any suggestion or a professional editor able to create it? Many thanks for your kind attention. Best Regards Stefano — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stebroz (talk • contribs) 16:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- No, its not possible, to have an article a website needs to be notable, presumably you're talking about Camvoice, which as far as I can see does not meet our criteria--Jac16888Talk 16:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Could You please explain why you deleted my article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulki_-_Vlado_Janevski
The explanation given: (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) My question: Do You really understand Macedonian THAT well, so you can judge if the purpose of the article was solely advertising or promotion? If you had the slightest idea what my article was about I am sure You would have reacted differently because: -Vlado Janevski is THE most popular singer/songwriter in Macedonia so he doesn't need an article in Wikipedia (written in macedonian) to gain popularity or to promote his career in his own country. -the article was about his best song EVER that had been released a fortnight ago after 4 years of silence. So the purpose of the article was obvious (if one understands the language, unlike youself) to create some informational encyclopedic reading for the hundreds of thousends of his fans in Macedonia. So I stronly suggest you put back my article where it was, do not erase the same article if I attempt to create it again, or write to us with a more plausable explanation.
Yours sincerely, Zoran Jacev, Secretary of Vlado Janevski's Official Fanclub e-mail: kontakt@vladojanevski.com.mk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Makedonijanamakedoncite (talk • contribs) 00:05, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Removal of well researched encyclopedic page instead of editing information.
Hello Jac16888
As a regular user of Wikipedia I am very pleased to find the encyclopedia is regularly patrolled.
However I am most surprised that after considerable time spent carefully preparing the information for the 'Simon Corry' page to ensure accuracy and the presentation of encyclopedic unbiased and accurate information you have removed it in a matter of minutes instead of using the talk pages or editing the details you consider to be promotional or inaccurate.
Having voluntarily presented information which readers throughout the world may be interested to read, I am deeply shocked and disappointed you have been so destructive towards this work.
I have re-instated the page and look forward to your positive contribution as to how the information can be improved without resorting to destroying any well researched factual information.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards

With all due respect, I am quite new to wikipedia, but one of the pages I've been working on is deleted by you, because of the "A7" reason. And I respect the rules of wikipedia, but I would apreciate if you could tell me how to recover the text from that article [3], since I don't have it stored anywhere, or what to do to get that page active again, 'cause it's big misunderstanding due to the fact that I didn't know where and how to mark that the subject is about organization, actually - NGO.

Juliette Farrell, UK neo soul artist Biography Juliette (Neo Soul singer UK) Juliette Farrell, (born 12th November 1970 Coventry). Juliette, started singing at the age of 19 as a session singer. Juliette lives in Birmingham England and performs under the Alias Juliette ♥ Biography The very soulful Juliette ♥ began her musical journey at the age of 5. She started learning piano at the same time as taking dance lessons at Pam Chater School Of Dance up to the age of 14, this was where she developed her love of music and performance. Her professional career as a singer began at the age of 19 when someone heard her singing on her doorstep. It just so happened that the person needed a session singer for a rock band in Litchfield. That opportunity lead to several others. She performed backgrounds in a state of the art studio for Kenny Young, the writer for “Boardwalk” in Oxfordshire. Juliette then worked with Kevin Mason, also from Oxfordshire. Kevin Mason wrote music for the late Eartha Kitt. Juliette joined her first group called Torq. The group had an interest from a sub label under Sony which led to a single release that was not supported due to label politics. Not too long after the group experiences, Juliette was courted by EMI as a soloist. She then became a part of another group called Urban Vibe. Juliette vocals were a magnet to many established executives in the music business. She was approached by Howard McRary and Chaka Khan’s sister in effort to manage her career. In 2010 Mr Godfrey Fletcher of Neo2Soul Promotions introduced Juliette to a project developed by multi-platinum producer Herb Middleton called the “The U Turn Project”. Once again Juliette’s talent drew the interest of Herb Middleton, CEO of NuVybe Records who signed her to the US label. “Key’s of Love” featuring Juliette is slotted for a 2011 release on NuVybe Records along with a feature on “The U Turn Project” March 2011 sees the debut single ' love me and my hair' as played on radio 1 extra, choice fm, and colourful radio' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.234.136 (talk) 21:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC) [edit] http://www.discogs.com/artist/Juliette+Leon#t=Appearances_All&q=&p=1 www.nuvyberecords.com http://www.discogs.com/artist/Juliette+Leon#t=Appearances_All&q=&p=1 Albums Read more at Wikipedia... |

Please tell me the way making the article translated article.
Hot cake syrup (talk) 06:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- You simply took the article from the japanese wikipedia and ran it through a machine translator, which we don't allow, because the result was complete unintelligible rubbish.

BLP Prod on Foreign Language Article
I tend to disagree with having that on the page for one main reason; two weeks are provided by the translation template for translation, but the BLP template gives less than that. If no one comes along to translate the page, it will either be moved to another Wiki or deleted outright at that point. If a translation is provided, THEN it makes sense to put the BLP prod. on the page. Right now, if it's not translated, it will be eligible for deletion on April 26; I would try to work on it right now, but I am unilingual and cannot source something in a foreign language. That is why I removed the prod. for the chance to have it translated before putting a new deletion process on the page. I am a man of logic, and what I did makes logical sense given that you insist on having two deletion processes concurrent on the page; unfortunately, with the BLP prod., it will be deleted before a chance is ever given to translate it. An exception should be given in cases like these.
If you disagree, I'd love to raise the issue on the related talk page. For now, I have once again removed the prod. because logically it doesn't make sense right now. CycloneGU (talk) 14:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but you're wrong. BLP does not say that it only applies to articles in English, and one cannot be removed unless a source is added, please do not remove the prod again unless you add a source, the blp policy is one of our most important--Jac16888 Talk 14:43, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- I appreciate that and agree BLP is probably the most important policy we have. I will not go back and remove it again because I have no interest in edit warring or running into a 3RR block, but I still contend that on an English encyclopedia it doesn't make logical sense to have a BLP prod. on something that the majority of EnWiki users are not able to even read. Let me ask this: does it make logical sense to remove the article for BLP before it is translated? Again, it will be gone on April 26 if not translated; why have a chance for removal on April 22 when a translation might not already be done? Is that really going to happen? Is there any way to try to have the translation expedited if you are going to insist on having both templates in place at once? I will raise the issue on the translation page also, but where can I make a comment on this scenario in the BLP areas? I ask because I believe the way this scenario is set up that it might be a loss for the English Wikipedia if a translator comes along at the end of the two weeks to do the translation and finds the article already deleted. I am not declining that the page SHOULD be prodded; I say prod. it after the translation is provided and give ten days from then. CycloneGU (talk) 15:10, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also, you left the deletion template on the author's talk page. Logically, it can be assumed that the author will not be able to read the deletion template so it's better to find a translation from someone who understands English. CycloneGU (talk) 15:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- At PNT we regularly blp prod articles long before the 2 weeks are up, just as we may also speedy or afd them where appropriate, because we apply the same rules to them that apply to every other article, i.e. if an article meets a deletion criteria delete it. The majority of articles that come through PNT are not translated, and not all that many go through 2 weeks followed by prod before deletion, if we ignored every deletion criteria and prodded after 2 weeks it would be massively backlogged. The article itself does not suggest the person is particularly notable anyway, so why bother waiting.--Jac16888 Talk 15:21, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I could run a Google translation and probably make an assessment out of whatever I am able to read. Some are not so simple; Abuubakar abdi mohamed is noted to be in Somali, a language that Google does not even understand in its translator, and if no one comes along to translate we have no other choice but to delete (and this is well beyond the two weeks, I just say speedy it but it's done after 23:34 UTC today in any case). Gerardo Gonzalez miranda on the other hand is Spanish - something the .es link also gives away - and on Google (I know, not perfect or fully reliable) gives the following:
Gerardo González Miranda (September 21, 1972) Anthropologist, Mexican environmentalist and activist dedicated to reforestation and ecosystem restoration through permaculture. Born in Mexico City and raised in the city of Queretaro. After traveling throughout America and Europe seeking appropriate technologies was established in the city of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, where he founded Tele-Corn (1st TV station in Mexico dedicated to the promotion of permaculture and environmental technologies). It also stands as a promoter of animal rights, awareness and vegan cooking. April 13 started the bike ride starting from the city of Merida, Yucatan to San Salvador car called "Out of America and violence" in solidarity with the people that occurred in America in the hands of state violence and evil social line.
- It's not perfect, but I am a good translator of improper and fractured English into proper and structured English, so it's something I can in fact work with. He's a Mexican environmentalist and activist. I've never heard of him, but would any of the information herein make him notable in your view? CycloneGU (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm well aware of that already, it wasn't just blindly prodded, I know what the article says near enough, and I don't believe it worth translating, especially considering Tele-Corn tv doesn't appear to exist. The fact that none of the other editors at PNT, several of whom know Spanish very well have not bothered to translate either show that I'm not the only person who deems translation a waste of time--Jac16888 Talk 16:38, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- As, so that's how it works - if something is considered not notable from someone who understands it, no one translates it? That's something I wasn't expecting. CycloneGU (talk) 16:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- No, its that people aren't going to waste their time translating something that will be deleted regardless--Jac16888 Talk 16:43, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- That's what I meant...not notable meaning will be deleted regardless. CycloneGU (talk) 16:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- You're not making any sense and i'm tired of trying to explain this to you. My main point remains valid, BLP prod does not have exceptions, therefore it was applied to this article--Jac16888 Talk 16:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- That's what I meant...not notable meaning will be deleted regardless. CycloneGU (talk) 16:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

- It is a direct translation with paraphrasing (i.e. changing the first sentence to match Wikipedia conventions for people with more than one name). I shall get rid of it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
kindly guide me on how to put in the proper content for creating the page about Dr S Natarajan u deleted
I had created a wiki page on Dr S Natarajan which you have deleted. please let me know why & how I could recreate it Deutriumd2 (talk) 13:19, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- You'll have to be more specific, since you've never created an article, there is no record of an article with that name and It doesn't sound familiar. What was the exact name of the article?--Jac16888 Talk 14:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks you for explaining the situation with the "hang on" tags. I have now gone to the appropriate article pages and expressed my opinions there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hulcys930 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 4 May 2011

Thanks for cleaning up the mess I made on Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem; I thought I was replying to a talk-page comment. Dicklyon (talk) 21:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- No worries. I wasn't 100% if I removed all of the conversation or removed some of the article, so feel free to fix it either way if necessary--Jac16888 Talk 21:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Christopher Hart (artist)
Hi, You deleted a page of an artist name Christopher Hart last March. I actually searched for him to find some information about his education history. He is well known as a comic illustrator, and has the most books published in the "Art Instruction/Techniques" section in most bookstores, including Barnes and Nobles and Borders.
Please consider re-instating his profile. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.6.165.35 (talk) 23:27, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Indonesian / Malay Translations
Hi Jac, I was wondering if you would be willing to contact me if any Indonesian or Malay come up at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English. I sometimes forget to check the page, so they might get missed. Thanks! Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jac,
I saw you deleted my page for Manu Mihalache, the Romanian race driver, for copyright issues with http://manumihalache.ro/manu/pilot.htm. The picture is taken directly from HIS website, and I am currently working with him. I understand this is a problem, but I would greatly appreciate if you could help me solve it. I registered the picture as "Own work" because it was taken by me at one of Manu's rallies. How could I solve this and keep the page from being deleted?
Much obliged, Matt —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mateus91 (talk • contribs) 07:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- For starters we need more than your word that you have his permission, and even then we want articles that are just copied and pasted from his own website, its not going to be neutral. Second, this is the English wikipedia, content needs to be english--Jac16888 Talk 18:34, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Florence Peake
In view of the fact that deletion of Florence Peake has turned out to be more controversial than I expected, I have restored the article and reopened the AfD. I have given my opinion on this at User talk:JamesBWatson#Florence Peake and A7. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:43, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
