User talk:Jens Meiert

Hello and welcome :) I hope you like the place and choose to stay.

Some useful links:

Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers
Wikipedia:How to edit a page
Village pump - you can put questions you may have here (or use my talk page

By the way, re The Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, if you want to make a stub, put a sentence describing the external link, instead of just the link itself, and we don't usually sign contributions either. Thanks, and have fun! :) Dysprosia 13:35, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Little late, but I noted that the page in question still is a stub … I will take a look at it again. -- Jens, 10:29, 15 Mar 2008 (CET)

You probably want to help in improving our markup, usability, and accessibility related articles ? For instance what about Conditional Comments you criticize so much ? I dont understand the german part (this) of your work but that might surely help the German Wikipedia too :-) Jonas, 21 Oct 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Just a tiny note. We recommend only using straight apostrophes at WP:PUNCT. That's all :) -- Quiddity (talk) 17:34, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia blocking VPNs

[edit]

What is your position on this, exactly? Can you link to the WP discussions on the topic? Ogress _smash! 22:04, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My position is rather simple: Authenticated users should be allowed to edit Wikipedia from any connection (forcing login is already an interesting demand, for anonymity does not equal malevolence). Forcing users off VPNs or Tor, then, as it seems practice for a while, appears excessive and like intentionally throwing users under the (mass surveillance) bus, for users don’t only visit Wikipedia, and may forget having been forced off a secure connection. I wish a more tactful approach to Wikipedia’s spam issues, if that’s the motivation behind this—take a user’s account age and edit history in account before forcing them to a different connection, make that insecure connection requirement a 50/50 thing, use CAPTCHAs, &c. There are probably a number of nicer alternatives to what’s enforced right now.—j9t (talk) 14:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. (Using a VPN.) j9t (talk) 18:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

You do not appear to be blocked - 16 mins after you made this request you edited an outside page. I see no blocks, or autoblocks affecting you. You may want to see WP:IPEC regarding requesting IP Block Exemption. In this case - you would probably need to contact functionaries-en to request this flag.

Not sure how to respond to unblock template stuff, however the reason why I could (and did) edit a page despite reporting a block was simply that I went off my VPN. At this point, again on a VPN connection, I still can’t edit anything other than this talk page.—j9t (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: CSS Naked Day (April 13)

[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unreferenced. No evidence of notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Jens Meiert/CSS Naked Day and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Your submission at Articles for creation: CSS Naked Day (April 25)

[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by NP83 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the sources are not independent of the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:CSS Naked Day and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
