User talk:JalenBarks/Archive 16

Hello, after analyzing the matter I remain unaware why you have made this rollback, thus removing my change which was intended as a fix after I saw useless redirect while reading an article on Sandro Marcos. Per WP:ROLLBACKUSE you must have regarded my edit as an obvious vandalism, which it is not, at least not from my point of view. First of all, the mention about Alexa Miro in article Tropang LOL is not even sourced and the only information that comes from it is that she likely was a host of the show, there is no subtopic about her or anything remotely close to that. The actor is also mentioned on more than 10 relevant Wikipedia pages so there is absolutely no reason I could see to redirect from Alexa Miro to a TV show she hosted for a year or two. This redirect does not satisfy any of WP:POFR as far as I am concerned. This is the most useless redirect I ever saw.

Furthermore, if there is more meaningful way to fix the definitely existing issue and I did it incorrectly, then I still am not sure if rollback is the correct way to go about it, per WP:ROLLBACKUSE. Kondike (talk) 23:20, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

No, this is correct usage of WP:ROLLBACKUSE, and I was about to warn you for this too. We do not blank redirects, as blank pages are harmful to the encyclopedia. If you want that redirect to be deleted, consider starting a discussion at WP:RFD. Jalen Barks (Woof) 00:13, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Which of the 6 possible reasons for WP:ROLLBACKUSE does this edit satisfy? This is the crux of the issue.

Also, I did not consider reporting this to be deleted specifically because it had categories under it. It looked to me like someone was planning to turn this into a proper article. To me, the redirect itself seemed to be the least substantial part of the page. Kondike (talk) 00:32, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

I am invoking reason 1, on the basis that I treat all blanking cases as obvious vandalism. Like I said, blank pages are harmful to the encyclopedia. Jalen Barks (Woof) 03:35, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:BLANK: "Page blanking means editing a page and removing its content to leave it completely blank, or without any substantial content." I think you would agree if you examined the page and the article it redirects to that the redirect is the least useful thing on the page and provides far less information than the rest of the page, therefore it is highly arguable whether my edit would meet the definition of blanking the page. From my perspective, I removed harmful content that made up a small portion of the information on the page and left the rest intact.

However, more importantly, according to the definition, WP:VANDAL implies obvious and delibarate intent to obstruct the project. When you rollback my edit without a comment and accuse me of vandalism, you are literally accusing me of that, which as far as I am aware is definitely against the rules. I saw on your page that you did the same thing in the past, as other editor pointed it out to you that you have tendency not to provide edit summary on some of your rollbacks in cases that are not examples of obvious deliberate malicious behaviour.

Please be careful in the future and provide explanation in your edit summary if there is any chance at all that the intention behind the rollbacked edit is not malicious. Anyways, thank you for redirecting me to WP:RFD, however I do not want the page itself to be deleted. Kondike (talk) 04:28, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Talkpage stalker here - having looked at the edit in question I would have done exactly the same thing. It looked like straightforward vandalism to me and the correct action should have been to nominate the redirect for deletion. Still, no harm done. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:03, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. I think this approach is against WP:AGF and far more problematic than what I did however. Also, the page has 6 categories, surely it has enough notability for a stub or more, so it shouldn't be deleted anyways. Kondike (talk) 13:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

...when you warned me on my user talk page

I was intending to turn it into a separate article

This is my attempt to take my objection to your talk page, per the advice on the warning Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 05:27, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

No, that is a valid warning I made. You do not blank a redirect immediately before creating a separate article. It is acceptable, however, to replace the content of the redirect directly with your intended content in a single edit, as you have correctly done in this follow-up. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Jalen Barks (Woof) 05:31, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 05:32, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Your edit message "rv promo" I imagine means yiu thought the article was too promotional? I was trying to establish notability. How can I do this without it being too promotional? —Sonarpulse ‡ Talk 17:40, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

There was wording in the article that made it seem promotional, specifically, The blog is widely read. Even if not promotional, someone would've stepped in and asked {{By whom}}? Or even more, would have done the exact same thing I did with a different revert reason as primary sources are not sufficient to establish notability. Jalen Barks (Woof) 18:25, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

What would primary sources being suffient the establish notability look like in the case of someone along these lines? There is much media (such as the one I referenced) referring to having read the blog posts, and others doing the same. —Sonarpulse ‡ Talk 01:26, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

To clarify here, if a third party outlet were to cover this individual, there would be a case. I would also take a look at WP:GNG to see what we're generally looking for here. Jalen Barks (Woof) 02:19, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

OK how's the citation in https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/technology/microsoft-blue-screen-death-windows.html do for a more reputable 3rd party outlet? —Sonarpulse ‡ Talk 05:32, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

That works. New York Times has already proven to be reliable, so there's your starting point. You might be able to work off that, but just be aware that another editor might still do the same thing I did. If you have any further questions regarding this stuff, I highly recommend seeking answers from other editors at the teahouse. I do not regular this location, but there will always be an editor willing to help you out there. Jalen Barks (Woof) 05:43, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

You reverted all my edits, didn't you? Why did you reverted correction of a typo? Do you think as an English native speaker that saying "by a local women" is correct? Please teach me a correct English. And you may not write me on my tak page annoucing every revertion that you make with my edits. I try to make wikipedia better, but you are seemingly are against me personally for some reason? Else why to revert all without reading what I've written? Ales (talk) 20:17, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

My apologies, I only saw your addition of (probably the family has penetrated her house and left a pie there, congratulating Laura with her passed exam in such a way) and treated this as vandalism. I do not care if the rest is restored following our conversation here. Jalen Barks (Woof) 20:19, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I won't restore anything, letting your edit returning a typo to the article as the last one and as an example from the English native speaker how people shall write in English. You know better. And you are certainly making the Wikipedia greater by your revertions. Adding a sentence is a huge vandalism. Vandals are crashing monuments and writing obscene lexics in public pages - so did I as you think. I care for other languages' wiki, as you are guarding the purity of English one, it is in your good hands. Let the article further be such a stub as it is now.Ales (talk) 20:26, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

You do not need to keep attacking me over this. I have restored the intended edit before what I saw was vandalism. Jalen Barks (Woof) 20:28, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, JalenBanks, thanks for your message. Sorry, I'm moving house at the moment so don't have a lot of spare time for Wikipedia. I'll have a look in a couple of weeks once I'm freer. Sorry not to be more helpful. You could also contact the blocking admin for those two accounts - looks like it was Ponyo. Thanks for all your work on that article.

Hey! Can you review my draft: Malibu (ambient music artist) now? I think it is ready. Eartheating (talk) 01:45, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Earth, thank you for understanding why your article was moved to draftspace, and your improvements for submission. However, despite previous participation, I no longer have the will to review drafts submitted via Articles for creation. As you have seen, there are other editors on this encyclopedia, many of whom do participate in that area of the encyclopedia. Similar to how I said no one is dedicated to editing per WP:VOLUNTEER, please remain patient, as there is no rush to get this accepted. Jalen Barks (Woof) 01:49, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Okay, but can I ask anybody to review it? Last time when I made draft nobody reviewed it in 6 months and it just got deleted. Eartheating (talk) 01:56, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Sorry to hear. If it ever gets that close again, you can always make another edit before it's scheduled to be deleted. Jalen Barks (Woof) 01:59, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I see you reverted some edits made by Masterartsconnect. I'm keen to remove the message on this page which says: This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information.

Since you've reverted the edits which were made, can you also remove the message above? Many thanks QueVee (talk) 14:57, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, letting you know I had completed the revdel on this report, but another editor contacted me and pointed out that source is in fact public domain. The site has has materials under various licenses but that specific paper was released by the UK crown in 1965 and is public domain (specifically says so at the top "This free content was digitised ...

in response to you reverting my edit on Ranboo i see what you are saying, and it isn't promotional. someone did an incorrect redirect to tommyinnit from ranboo, and i was talking to my assigned mentor about how to properly reconstruct the page. sorry for any inconveniences i may have caused you. is it ok to continue trying to correct the page? SomeRandomPersonUDontKnow (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Regardless, even if you do try to continue, the version you had did not satisfy the initial concerns raised at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ranboo (2nd nomination). Had I not reverted it, it would have been eligible for WP:G4. Jalen Barks (Woof) 19:42, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

yes, I see what you are saying. though at the same time, why is it redirected to tommyinnit? tommy is not ranboo at all, though they are good friends. SomeRandomPersonUDontKnow (talk) 19:50, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Jumping in here as the one who advised OP on article creation on my talk page; I was not aware of the deletion nomination. I think if OP can find sources that make Ranboo pass the GNG it could surpass a deletion nomination consensus; for example if there are new reliable sources about Ranboo. @JalenBarks for more context see the discussion on my talk page. Also, G4 only applies to sufficiently identical copies; thus if OP succeded in finding new sources, making it pass GNG, G4 would not apply. Can we move the discussion to my talk page as that has more context, and to keep the discussion in one place? VidanaliK (talk to me) (contributions) 19:52, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

That would be preferrable, yes. If I'm able to provide any information to help the process, I'll chime in. Jalen Barks (Woof) 19:54, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G4 speedy deletion nomination of Vijay Suthar (film maker) because it is not sufficiently similar to the version previously deleted at AfD. In this case, the AfD took place in 2017, and the article primarily focuses on accomplishments that have happened since then. When considering whether an article is eligible for G4, it's always good to look at the last AfD date and see if the new article contains newer sourcing or information. That said, if you think Suthar still does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, feel free to nominate for deletion via AfD. Thank you!

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:26, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
