Battlebots (season 8) Page

Hi Jon698, I noticed you reviewed the page I created Battlebots (season 8). However, I noticed I made a typo on the title by not capitalizing the 'B' in 'bots' like the previous season pages for "BattleBots". For some reason I can't edit the title or even delete my page to correct it. Do you know a way I can correct it? Or maybe it's because only administers can correct it.

Thanks. Sue Kastle (talk) 20:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to let you know you moved the page to a misspelling of the shows title so I had to move to the correct page. I've placed a deletion request on the redirect which was created. I know you did this in good faith to help Sue and mistakes do happen. So I'm just letting you know. Esuka323 (talk) 21:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Humane Party edits

Hello - I regret that I needed to revert much of your recent work on the Humane Party page. As I explained in my edit summaries (1 2, 3) please don't link to drafts or copy-paste large sections of text, and please add citations from non-primary sources (not just the party's own web site). Thank you. Funcrunch (talk) 13:52, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and copyrighted information

Hi again. I am concerned you are adding significant amounts of material to Wikipedia that is simply copied from web pages, and linking to images uploaded to Commons that are not free (see c:User talk:Jon698#Deleted content). Several of your edits to Humane Party were already suppressed by an admin (Diannaa), but I'm also concerned about content you added to American Delta Party#Political Positions, Independent Party of Delaware#Keynote Speech, and David Graham (US politician)#Campaign themes. Please review Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright and ensure that you are only summarizing and paraphrasing information. Thanks - Funcrunch (talk) 14:45, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Al Smith into Al Smith presidential campaign, 1928. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:19, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations for your work on Election-related articles

	Civic Engagement Barnstar
	I want you to know that I appreciate all the work you do promoting third parties on Wikipedia. It can be hard to advocate for politicians that don't receive much needed or deserved media attention, but you try to tread that fine line as it relates to notability.

Ways to improve United States presidential election debates, 1976

Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. Jon698, thanks for creating United States presidential election debates, 1976!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Take a look at WP:Referencing for beginners to see how to use ref tags to get footnotes. Instead of massive quotes of the questions, there should be some sort of summary. The excessive use of quoted questions is probably a copyright infringement.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Auto-patrolled?

Have you considered requesting the autopatrolled permission? You seem to meet the general criteria (only stumbling block being a couple of copyright notices) and this could be helpful in reducing the WP:NPP backlog. If you have questions or wish to discuss don't hesitate to ping me here or leave a comment on my talk page. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:54, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Jon698, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Swarm ♠ 05:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hello Jon698. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Swarm ♠ 20:24, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Wyoming State Senate election

Hello Jon I saw you moved this article back to the original title. Just a heads up that the naming convention for election articles (WP:NC-GAL) has just changed to put the year at the front. Most articles are going to be moved by a bot in the next few days, but any created after 1 October needed to be moved manually (hence me moving this one). Cheers, Number 5 7 20:55, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS – I see you've started moving some others that were created before 1 October. I think this should be ok, but there is a bot run planned to do it all. Cheers, Number 5 7 21:04, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Howie Hawkins 2020 presidential campaign

An entire section of this article contains no citations. However, after notice has been placed in the article about the need for citations, you have removed the notice (multiple times) without providing the citations. The notice should only be removed if the problem is remedied to bring the article up to Wikipedia standards.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I second the earlier (unsigned) comment. Please stop just ignoring editors messages about failures to meet Wiki standards in this article. It's clear you support this candidate and that's fine. But the article still needs to be neutral and properly cited. You keep removing the citation notice without providing citations. Your most recent edit provided one citation for three sentences and the cited source didn't back up what was stated. The standards exist to make articles better (and therefore, would actually present your candidate better - even though that's not the intent). Please just follow them - earnestly. [Adding signature to comment directly above BrightNewMorning (talk) 15:28, 30 April 2019 (UTC)][reply]

Please ignore the two statements above. I think I am dealing with vandals who are targeting somebody's political opponents and who are working for him. The page, Howie Hawkins 2020 presidential campaign, has been tagged as an advert by an account named BrightNewMorning whose only edits are to Dario Hunter's page and his presidential campaign. The other "account" is just an ip address which is most likely just BrightNewMorning logged out of his account. When I looked up the location of the IP address it showed up in Youngstown, Ohio where Hunter is a member of the board of education and lives. It is clear that you "two" have a conflict of interest with both Howie Hawkins and Dario Hunter's pages. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.91.136.101 ,the IP address who is in Youngstown, Ohio and who made the unsigned comment (currently unknown if it was done on purpose or not) had made zero edits before today. If you "two" vandalize any other pages I will take action. Jon698 (talk) 17:38, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, that's it. It must be a "vandalism" conspiracy that people are asking for source citations. There can't be any other possible explanation... (like the need for source citations according to Wikipedia.) To your credit, it looks like you've (now) fixed the problem with the article. Now that everything has citations, you shouldn't have to worry about "vandals" asking for them. :) 173.91.136.101 (talk) 06:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- Scott Burley (talk) 03:45, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock Appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Jon698 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have made one account and used it for illegitimate purposes. However, I ask that I be unblocked, but banned from participating in AFD discussions and only be allowed to edit as my contribution history shows that I am the only person that has edited articles such as George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign, Alaska Libertarian Party, and Libertarian Party of Massachusetts and there are many articles like Bush's that are in need of greater editing to be completed or to be proper for Wikipedia. I came to Wikipedia two years ago to improve political articles and I have went too far. I acknowledge that I have broken the rules, but as this is the first time I ask that I be given a second chance. If I renege on this then I wish for the next blocking to be permanent.

Decline reason:

You outright lied about the connection before being blocked. You can take the standard offer. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:17, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Comment I understand. I am not good at apologies especially online and I have had the account since 2017. I rarely used it and did not use it for disruptive editing. I ask that it will be reconsidered and that I be limited to only editing or at least limited to editing only George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign as it is close to completion, but I am the only one who edits it. Jon698 Jon698 14:52, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If I may chime in here and say that Jon has been incredible in improving our coverage of american politics.
However, you don't even seem to be that sorry for what you did... You've been using this sock of yours since at least 2017 (Diffs from Scott Burley: [1] [2]). That is long term scrutiny evasiason.
Have you disclosed all your accounts publicly? –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 05:10, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with MJL in that it looks like you've made some really significant contributions to the project and it would be a shame to lose you as an editor. This seems like a textbook case for WP:SO. Barring any substantive objections, I wouldn't have any problem unblocking you in six months. -- Scott Burley (talk) 17:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But not likely to happen when you continue to sock with User:DailyVermonter. -DJSasso (talk) 14:59, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Offer

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Jon698 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hello it has been six months since my block in May and I would like to begin the standard offer process.

My provided clear reason is Scott's statement "I agree with MJL in that it looks like you've made some really significant contributions to the project and it would be a shame to lose you as an editor. This seems like a textbook case for WP:SO." and MJL's statement "If I may chime in here and say that Jon has been incredible in improving our coverage of american politics." Also in the past six months I have improved my understanding of copyright and public domain and I hope to use it to improve the images of political/election articles and I have learned election mapping and hope to improve many Washington, D.C. election articles. The next year will be important for election/political Wikipedia editors and will have a large amount of work and I hope that I will be able to help and participate in that.

It has been hard to not edit Wikipedia for six months, but I would still like to thank Scott for the block because it has helped me become less addicted to editing and MJL for helping me get a LPedia account that I could use to edit that site on if I ever had the urge to. -- Jon698 02:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't really understand how the standard offer process works and I hope that I am doing it correctly. Apologies in advance for any mistakes.

@NinjaRobotPirate: I am sorry about the ping, but I have noticed that there is a large backlog in Requests for unblock Jon698 (talk) 03:57, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want your unblock request posted to the administrators' noticeboard, I could do that. Due to a quirk in policy, unblock requests that fail to get consensus at a noticeboard turn into a community site ban. The difference is mostly academic, but site bans can only be appealed at noticeboards. Noticeboard appeals are settled via the consensus of the community (more-or-less a vote), but standard unblock requests are resolved by unilateral action by a single administrator. If you don't like the idea of a bunch of random people voting to ban/unban you, the alternative is to wait for a random administrator to get around to your unblock request. That shouldn't take more than a few days, but it could potentially take several weeks. If you want to speed up the process and increase the likelihood of success, you should list all the registered accounts you've used to edit Wikipedia.

Thank you for the information. I would rather wait for some random administrator to get around to my request rather than putting it up to a noticeboard vote. The only registered accounts that I used were User:DailyVermonter and User:ImBadWithUsernames. Jon698 (talk) 04:28, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: I'm willing to go forward with this unblock, if checkuser is clean (or you feel it's not necessary) and he agrees to the topic ban for AFDs that he originally proposed 6 months ago in his prior appeal. I would additionally add that he read about General Sanctions and acknowledge doing so by listing the active sanction he believes would apply to his preferred area of editing related to political topics. @Scott Burley: as info as blocking admin. -- ferret (talk) 23:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any obvious block evasion. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:50, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: @Ferret: I agree to the topic ban for AFDs and as for General Sanctions sanctions could be placed on areas such as abortion, Eastern Europe, gun control, and other areas like those. Jon698 (talk) 03:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jon, works for me. Also be mindful of American politics 2. This sanction is core to your editing areas. -- ferret (talk) 13:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
