About your AFD votes

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I noticed that you always use "Agreed with all the editors involved" for "strong" stances, e.g. 1, 2, 3. Your votes are WP:MAJORITY and should be avoided. You are encouraged to point out which guidelines you are referring, and please do some background research before voting to make a meaningful vote. Also please utilize the use of "strong". Thank you.

@CastJared you are still making poor quality votes at AFD that vaguely say you agree with another editor, rarely if ever specifying a policy. Remember, these discussions are not a numerical vote.

It's also unhelpful to comment on an AFD just to say that you don't have an opinion either way. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 21:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

besides not being policy based, your !votes are often incomprehensible. Please take better care to give clear input when you participate at AfD (or elsewhere). Star Mississippi 02:23, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, CastJared,

I came here to say the same thing and it looks like I'm not alone. You are very active weighing in on AFD deletion discussions but it's not clear whether you have thoroughly evaluated the article in question, assessed the sources and maybe even looked for and located additional reliable sources to help preserve an article. Please take each nomination seriously, don't base your vote solely on the nomination statement or other editors' opinions. Don't be focused on quantity of discussions you participate in or your AFD stats but on the quality of your participation. Evaluating articles in a helpful way takes time and effort and if you don't want to invest that effort, please find another area of the project to help out in. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

I'll see if there any involvement, like it does not cite any sources, or even un-notable that fails WP:GNG. CastJared (talk) 12:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Not citing sources, or having involvement are not reasons for deletion, and some of your recent input remains unclear *Keep: It has multiple citations, also it need multiple reliable citations for this article. or wrong *:This draft does not cite any sources. (citations aren't required for drafts that aren't yet submitted). I really suggest learning more about policy before continuing to participate or you may find yourself losing access to do so.

Your submission at Articles for creation: HBO controversies (June 17)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by BuySomeApples was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: I'm declining this draft, and while I know that's a bit final, there are a few good reasons why I doubt this topic will warrant a standalone page.

The first is that most of these controversies are already present on the Wikipedia pages for each television series. For example Game of Thrones and Leaving Neverland both have sections dedicated to their respective controversies.

The second reason is WP:DUEWEIGHT. HBO has broadcast a huge number of television shows and films, including original productions. Many releases will have some level of controversy, but it's not necessary, feasible or even helpful to readers to put that all on one page. A section summarizing controversies from each show would not be allowed on the HBO page for that reason.

There really doesn't seem to be a rationale for creating this page. I do appreciate the work you put into this, and maybe you can add some content to the series' pages if anything is missing. That way it's not a wasted effort.

My draft have lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. The specific problem is: Entire draft of each content are forked out. The entire draft will be rewritten it in a balanced fashion that contextualizes different points of view. CastJared (talk) 06:20, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

I stating that I should have competence. CastJared (talk) 01:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. PhilKnight (talk) 02:20, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

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.

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Request reason:

This block will no longer be necessary because I will not continue to cause a disruption and will make useful contributions instead. CastJared (talk) 02:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=This block will no longer be necessary because I will not continue to cause a disruption and will make useful contributions instead. [[User:CastJared|CastJared]] ([[User talk:CastJared#top|talk]]) 02:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=This block will no longer be necessary because I will not continue to cause a disruption and will make useful contributions instead. [[User:CastJared|CastJared]] ([[User talk:CastJared#top|talk]]) 02:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=This block will no longer be necessary because I will not continue to cause a disruption and will make useful contributions instead. [[User:CastJared|CastJared]] ([[User talk:CastJared#top|talk]]) 02:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
