Femininity

Your proposed changes to this article were not "organization" and instead completely changed the meaning of some parts of the article. Traits that are traditionally and socially assumed to be "feminine" all of a sudden became definitions of femininity. You can't change the meaning of entire paragraphs without discussing it first on the article talk page. Please do not consider making wide, sweeping changes on gender articles as there are discretionary sanctions on this topic area. I'll post a notice next. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:52, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Hi! I certainly did not mean to change the meaning of anything and apologize if I did. Could you point me to the specific thing I changed that "completely changed the meaning of some parts of the article"? In my view, all I had done was move around pre-existing material and add section headings.

I'll ensure to use the talk page next time—still figuring out the tension between being bold and seeking consensus first. I also did not realize there are discretionary sanctions on gender-related topics.

Thanks, Jaydavidmartin (talk) 02:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After looking further at my edit, I think I see what may be the issue. Is it my removal of "...are traits that have traditionally been cited as feminine" in the first line? I believe I edited this line because I thought it was clunky, and removed that portion because I thought it was redundant with "While the defining characteristics of femininity are not universally identical." Looking now though I see how this could cause the statement to be interpreted differently.

That was only a passing change I made while I was working on organizing the section and I would not object to keeping the first paragraph in its original form. I think the rest of my changes are very good and sincerely improve the page and would like to see them reinstated if possible. The section as-is doesn't appear to have any organizational flow and that is what I was trying to address. Let me know if you think the page would be improved if it was reverted to my edit and then the opening paragraph of Behavior and personality was changed back to its original version so that it includes the line: "...are traits that have traditionally been cited as feminine."

Conservation of momentum

Hello! I see that you are interested in physics. I have just started a new article - Conservation of momentum. Can you read it and improve something, if you have time. Thank you very much for your help! --Zotur (talk) 14:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zotur, I'll take a good look at the article. At first glance, I think you are correct that conservation of momentum deserves its own page rather than just being a redirect to Momentum#Conservation. Not only does conservation of momentum have pages in other language Wikipedias but similar concepts like Conservation of energy have their own page as well. I've gone ahead and added a Template:Main to Momentum#Conservation and when I have the time I'll see if there's anything on the Conservation of momentum page itself that I can improve. Best, Jaydavidmartin (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some adjustments but I think overall you've done a good job with the page. I'll make more adjustments if I see anything that needs it and I'll try to expand the page. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 18:20, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Compact theory (Canada) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Compact theory (Canada), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Request

Hi, I'm a big fan of your work on the site! Especially on Why We're Polarized.

This might be a weird request but I was wondering if you could put your brilliant editing/writing skills to work on the Ezra Klein article. I attempted to correct the lede and intro but the main body of the article is severely lacking (i.e. poorly organised, baggy in parts). Since you are such a pro at this, and I am a novice - as you will no doubt notice from my use of visual edits - I thought you might be able help bring the article to a better standard. Cosmopolismetropolis (talk) Cosmopolismetropolis (talk) 10:08, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cosmopolismetropolis, I really appreciate the compliment! I'd be happy to help edit the Ezra Klein page. He's one of my favorite journalists and I think he certainly deserves a high quality page. I'll try to get around to it soon (I've also been meaning to expand the Background and contents section of Why We're Polarized but my focus shifted elsewhere after I expanded the Reception section). Also, no shame in using the visual editor—they made it for a reason! Jaydavidmartin (talk) 21:13, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great stuff, Jaydavidmartin! Yes, he's also one of my favourite journalists and political thinkers at the moment - which is partly why I've been trying to make his page a bit better. I can see you have already made a start and am sure it will be in great hands from now on. I will still be making an occasional contribution too.

Also, I just wanted to say that your work on Neoliberalism is exceptional. Cosmopolismetropolis (talk) 09:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uh ... why ...

... nowiki? --Oblio4 (talk) 19:23, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oblio4, the nowiki tag was unintentional, probably caused by a typo while I was using the visual editor. I accidentally deleted the space between "Unicef" and "in", which I think may have resulted in an issue with how the visual editor rendered the wikilink. I've removed the tag and fixed the spacing issue. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 23:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing

Thanks for teaching me about disruptive editing. One is never too old to learn. But, I am concerned about the use of your assumptions and choice of words to describe the Republicans and President Trump. The word "parroted" is a disrespectful term to me. The absence of understanding that a true audit is being requested for a fair evaluation of the voting data has me concerned. Now that I know the proper channel is to discuss it with you on your talk page, here it is. Finally, I'm concerned about referencing journalism as a source of credibility. What about peer reviewed scholastic reference. Thanks for your consideration. Ran. Randy J. Hinrichs. One more thing, I give you recognition on my page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rjhinrichs — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjhinrichs (talk • contribs) 06:17, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Compact theory (Canada)

Hello, Jaydavidmartin. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Compact theory".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

DYK for Shadow docket

On 24 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shadow docket, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Trump won 28 times more shadow docket requests per year than Bush and Obama? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shadow docket. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Shadow docket), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

— Amakuru (talk) 12:02, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

		Hook update
		Your hook reached 13,990 views (1,165.8 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of September 2021 – nice work!

American families plan

its clear you have some sort of political bias in editing wikipedia articles, for example you stated that the American families plan does not include the IRS monitoring of bank accounts, yet a simple google search turns up a plethora of results https://www.laruecountyherald.com/content/local-banks-respond-american-families-plan, https://bfy.tw/RvxU, You should be apprehended before furthering poisoning this Wikipedia community with your hate and bias — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.114.72 (talk) 00:51, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@68.132.114.72: None of the references provided on the page for American Families Plan listed it as a proposal of the plan, and the reference you've given here is not a reliable source on national politics. Regardless, I did find an official U.S. Treasury document for a less specific inflow/outflow reporting requirement linked to the American Families Plan. I have added this to the Original Proposal section (the specifics of the plan do not belong in the lede, and one proposal that was far less advertised than the plan's core components should not be privileged over all of the other proposals, which are not listed in the lede). Lastly, I would implore you to refrain from WP:Personal attacks, which are a violation of Wikipedia community guidelines. As noted in WP:No personal attacks, "Repeated or egregious personal attacks may lead to sanctions including blocks or even bans." I see from your other edits that you generally try to make constructive edits, so I will not seek any sanctions on you at this time, despite your egregious attack that I should be "apprehended before furthering poisoning this Wikipedia community with your hate and bias". Jaydavidmartin (talk) 01:48, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

and maybe if one lived in perfect world one would experience no conflict.... get real and either refute the statements at hand with contradictory sources or check your entitlement and stop reverseing articles on subjects which you know nothing about and don't even bother to put in even a cursory google search. Wikipedia is not your property so stop behaving like it is. its people like you who are a plague to the wiki and I stand by my previous comments

Seeking help on David McCormick BLP

Hi Jaydavidmartin. I am Lauren and I work for L Strategies, a company that is engaged in helping to improve the Wikipedia article of David McCormick, a businessman and former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs in the Bush White House. I discovered your name as a participant in WP:Politics, and thought you might like to edit McCormick's page. On September 2, I posted an edit request on Talk:David McCormick, which has so far not been addressed. The requested edits are simple factual corrections and additions that improve the accuracy and usefulness of the article. I would appreciate if you could take a look, and if you agree, kindly implement the edits. Thanks so much. Lauren at L Strategies (talk) 13:21, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
