My apologies for improperly moving the Ogun article - I am new and still learning how to properly contribute to Wikipedia (this is no excuse as I should have studied before attempting to move an article). However, I would like to note that Ogun is by far a more common way of spelling the Orichá's name; this is the standard spelling for Yoruba, Spanish, and Portuguese traditions, while Ogoun seems to be the standard in French tradition. Omo Obatalá(talk) 19:22, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
All is forgiven. I realized that "Ogun" is the more popular spelling so I requested that the article be moved into "Ogun," which I had freed up as it was a disambiguous page. So when that change happens, I think it is good to maintain both primary spellings in correspdance to both orisha and loa. Savvyjack23 (talk) 11:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
Haiti Project
Hi. For the record, I didn't remove the Haiti Project. This was done automatically by the script. This is a bug in the script that I will report shortly. --Meno25 (talk) 07:46, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Ohhh okay Meno25. Yes I thought that was a bit strange. Please disregard my message I left on your talk. Happy editing! Savvyjack23 (talk) 07:56, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
No problem. Pleased to know you. I have reported the bug in script here. Cheers. --Meno25 (talk) 08:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tourism in Haiti, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Labadie and Milot. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:25, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
EdJohnston, what I do not understand, is the original work used by this user and the use of my references to support his false claims. What exactly am I being warned for? I provided the sources, it was confirmed by another user of this original work being done. Am I being warned for restoration to the article to how it originally was? This user is blatantly ignoring the conversation and proposal of the talk, and is in direct violation of WP:OR and just removal is warranted. I do not appreciate my time being wasted especially when I made the effort to track down these sources. Savvyjack23 (talk) 18:45, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
The edit warring noticeboard is not going to block people for violating WP:SYNTH. Whether something is SYNTH is up to consensus. You need to get others to agree with you somewhere that your version is better. One way to get other opinions is WP:3O. Other options are in WP:Dispute resolution. If you simply continue to revert you are risking a block. EdJohnston (talk) 19:09, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Okay EdJohnston, thanks for the additional information. Savvyjack23 (talk) 19:13, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Merge mini-jazz and compas
Why is mini-jazz a separate article than compa if they are the same?????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.192.218.161 (talk) 16:02, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
They aren't the same. It is worded like that currently. I have about 15-20 sources that say it is a separate genre. On the other hand, zouk (beton) is a rarity nowadays, and zouk-love is also called zouk. Also, I originally proposed the merger long ago, but didn't follow through with it. It was a difficult decision to make. Savvyjack23 (talk) 00:57, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
By the way, there is nothing wrong with creating Méringue (dance) that's just a sentence for now. That way, others can make it grow with their own sources. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:29, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Edit Request for Angelica Fuentes Wikipedia Page
Hi, I've added a request to add several new sections to the Angelica Fuentes Wikipedia page under the "Talk" tab and was wondering if you would be able to update the page with the updated information. She is attending Davos (World Economic Forum) next year and we want to make sure that updated information is on her page in case anyone looks her up. Thank you! Cvillasmil (talk) 21:13, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
You need to add the "request edit" template that you have included here, to the Angelica Fuentes talk page. I've taken the liberty of removing the tag from here, as this page is showing up in the edit request queue and there's nothing to edit here. Wilipino (talk) 02:16, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the letting me know! I've updated accordingly. Cvillasmil (talk) 01:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks for the note ONUnicorn. My question though however is, why is it tagged for deletion? Savvyjack23 (talk) 22:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Take a look at the deletion discussion. As it stands, the article is little more than a dictionary-type definition of the term, and cites no reliable sources. It doesn't appear (to me at least, at this point) to be an article that could really be expanded beyond a simple definition. There are articles on the Marvel Universe, which mention and define the term, and articles on characters who have held that position, so perhaps (as someone suggested in the deletion discussion) it merits a re-direct, but I'm not seeing how it merits a full article.
That said, feel free to go over to the deletion discussion and comment on why you think it does merit a full article. Also, if you have reliable sources and plans to expand it beyond a simple definition of the term, feel free to improve the article, and I may withdraw the nomination. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 22:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
ONUnicorn, I'm afraid you may be right about this. It appears as a simple definition. However, there is a history in the comic books to go along with the title, as Sorcerer Supreme was past onto a few characters. Savvyjack23 (talk) 23:03, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Savvyjack23, I saw your edits to Laurens de Graaf and your user page which says you're interested in the Caribbean and in Haiti in particular. Thought I might extend to you an invite to join WikiProject Piracy. There aren't many active members but I've been working on articles for some events that aren't currently covered here and I think there are some for Haiti that need creation. Anyway, feel free to put your name down and let me know if there is anything I can help with. Cheers, St★lwart111 11:24, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Stalwart111, sorry I'm late for the party. Piracy is a very intriguing subject as the country of Haiti was founded by French buccaneers, with a stronghold up north at Tortuga. I will contribute anyway that I can, however I will not officially join the project, as I am against favoritism. I am essentially running the WikiProject Haiti page and revamped it entirely but have not joined it either. Strange, but that's just me. Likewise, let me know if I can help out on anything. Anyhow, keep up the good work. Cheers! Savvyjack23 (talk) 22:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Perfectly fine - we'll appreciate your contributions either way. Keep up the great work! St★lwart111 00:17, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
thanks Omo_Obatalá for the good faith but unfortunately, we cannot actually blank the page; we need to get an admin make the move. The argument (policy) is that the editors history from that page (who are owners of those contributions and permission was not granted for their work to decease essentially) is lost and doesn't merge with the page it was supposed to merge into (weird I know, I've had my copy and pastes repaired and I was notified about this too when I started). See WP:CPMV about it. I'll add this to the page to get an admin to merge histories. [Histmerge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM] Savvyjack23 (talk) 03:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

You have tangled for years with a guy who makes thousands of changes to Caribbean music articles. Please refer to the case page Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Caribbean music vandal when dealing with this person in the future. By doing so, you will have strong leverage to remove his disruptive contributions entirely. Any edits made by a blocked editor may be reverted on sight.

Victory SC
What on earth are you talking about. It doesn't help to template people without explaining what you are talking about by pointing out an article in question. Fenix down (talk) 16:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Fenix down, right now that page needs to be deleted. It was originally served as a redirect when it was moved to the Victory Sports Club article. Since unoccupied, it was then used for the Haiti's team (Victory Sportif Club) via copy and paste. It needs to be deleted so that the pages history gets moved as well.
Yes edit war. You are repeatedly moving around pages without discussion. Now my original argument against the move to Victory SC (Haiti) was as follows:
"There is no reason for a page move since there are no other articles to occupy this page. In all else a disambiguation called Victory SC (disambiguation) could be made if the name becomes overwhelming. To note, this team was founded in 1947. The Maldives team you are advocating for already occupies the "Victory Sports Club" article and was founded in 1971. A similar situation happened when I attempted to move Gingerbread house to Gingerbread house (food), to use the Gingerbread house for the architectural style of housing. I was soon corrected by User:Hafspajen that there was no previous discussion and also advised that my new article use the Gingerbread house (architecture) article since "the food" was created long before the architectural style. User:Yngvadottir also suggested a disambiguation be made if necessary. The only difference here is that, we came to a quick resolution. What's ours? I suggest the maldives page stay where it is or moved to Victory SC (Maldives)."
I'll let the template "people" do what they do best. They will know what to do, I've explained it to the best of my ability. Savvyjack23 (talk) 16:48, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
I am not an expert on how we deal with team names, and I am slightly unsure here. Might be different. But you should discuss this further. . Savvyjack23 idea seems reasonable to me, though. Hafspajen (talk) 16:52, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Kelapstick maybe can help? I have a feeling he knows more about it. Hafspajen (talk) 16:53, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Moving something without discussion isn't an edit war. Please do not place inflammatory and wholly incorrect templates on my talk page again. Fenix down (talk) 16:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Who, me? Hafspajen (talk) 17:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Fenix down, moves are considered edits and you moved the page twice. Actually removing a warning template from your own talk page is considered vandalism (see: Wikipedia:Removing warnings) You've been editing since 09' and I am lecturing you on this? I'll also do what I have to, thanks. No, the user was referring to me Hafspajen. Savvyjack23 (talk) 17:07, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. I left a talkback on Kelapstick page, he was online earlier today. He is a nice admin. Hafspajen (talk) 17:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Fenix down, you edits were also unproductive. You move a page to leave the old one as a redirect for the new page without any other page to take its place. Your reasons for locality Victory SC (Haiti) are redundant. However, now I have discovered that the page has to be properly deleted, since it moved to Victory Sports Club and for Victory Sportif Club to assume the unoccupied page. So if everyone just moved a page without a discussion, there would be total chaos. Am I really filling you in on this? Savvyjack23 (talk) 17:12, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, Hafspajen. Hope to resolve this matter Godspeed. Savvyjack23 (talk) 17:14, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
You need to have a close look at my contribution page where you'll see I moved it only once, the two edits are the article and the talk page which happens automatically when you use twinkle. You also need to look at the template at the top of WP:Removing warnings to see that it is not a guideline and is retained only for historical purposes, so you shouldn't go telling editors what to do based on it. Fenix down (talk) 17:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Your contributions: [1]First move: [2]Second move: [3]
I don't know about Twinkle, but this is in your contributions history. I'm also not telling editors a thing, rather you are telling me not to leave warning templates on your talk page. Savvyjack23 (talk) 17:23, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
And like I said, and like my contribution history clearly states one move is the article and the other is the talk page. In no way is this moving the article twice. You need to pay much closer attention to what you are doing as if you had done you would have seen this. This would have meant you would not have posted a wholly incorrect and potentially inflammatory template on someone's talk page and then, when told not to (since you were wrong to do so in the first place) you would not have pointed to a page where it is clearly stated the arguments within run contrary to current consensus in a brightly coloured box at the top! Fenix down (talk) 17:37, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

You're quite right, I apologise. I had completely forgotten about yesterday's move. If I had I would not have moved it again. That's quite embarrassing for and obviously I retract my comments above. I can assure you I wasn't edit warring though and nor was I shouting (not sure where you got that one from). You do need to avoid using out of date essays though when telling people what's what and it would have been helpful to add a note to the initial template you posted to make things clear from the start. Sorry again. Fenix down (talk) 17:48, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
I appreciate your apology Fenix down and happily accept it as well. I will also do my best to make things perfectly clear from the start, I regret if I wasn't clear enough. Thank you for all your contributions starting from 09'. Let's continue to improve Wikipedia! (I took the exclamation point the wrong way before I guess.)

List of People from Haiti
Thank you for all your contributions to Haiti articles.
You must have noticed the edit warning when entering new persons on the List of People from Haiti. (I didn't put it there!). It warns about inserting peoples names (among other things), without citations which determine their crediblity for association with this list per WP:NLIST and WP:LISTPEOPLE. It would be so much easier to insert this when the entry is made. If someone doesn't do this sooner, I will (eventually) rm entries without citations. The warning message says it can be done immediately. Other editors (therefore) may have more stringent deadlines. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 16:29, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Okay, at some point today everyone will be cited. Savvyjack23 (talk) 18:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for listing your dispute at Wikipedia:Third opinion. Your request did not follow the guidelines for listing disputes. These guidelines are in place because they make sure that the editor who writes the Third Opinion is not biased, and that (s)he can easily see what the dispute is about.
The description of the dispute should be concise and neutral, and you should sign with the timestamp only. A concise and neutral description means that only the subject matter of the dispute should be described, and not your (nor anyone else's) views on it. For example, in a dispute about reliable sources, do not write "He thinks this source is unreliable", but rather write "Dispute about the reliability of a source". To sign with only the timestamp, and without your username, use five tildes (~~~~~) instead of four.
Your request for a Third Opinion may have been edited by another editor to follow the guidelines - feel free to edit it again if necessary. If the dispute is of such a nature that it cannot follow the guidelines, another part of the dispute resolution process may be able to help you. For example, Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts is a good place to alert others to a particular editor's behaviour. Thank you for opting to use the dispute resolution process. —Godsy(TALKCONT) 20:11, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Palm on Haitian flag
The palm on the flag of Haiti seems usually to be described as a "royal palm", i.e. a palm in the genus Roystonea. So I suggest that this page is probably the best one to put in Category:National symbols of Haiti. If this view is backed up by a reliable source, I would also suggest adding a short "Cultural significance" section to Roystonea explaining the use in the flag of Haiti.

Picture of Aristide before election
It doesn't seem right showing a picture of a future president, except, of course, in his own article. Like showing a picture of Abe Lincoln splitting logs in the article Emancipation Proclamation or showing George Washington throwing a quarter across the Rappahanock in an article about the French and Indian War. Or in History of the United States, showing Barack Obama on a surfboard in Hawaii.
It's anomalous.
Showing Aristide when he was president may be WP:UNDUE as well, but that is another story. Student7 (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Understood Student7, but the premise speaks of him as a priest turned president. I see nothing wrong with showing the former if it is included in an appropriate context. An example of a wrong context would be to have this picture in his infobox like it does right now. Savvyjack23 (talk) 21:48, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
I can appreciate the reasoning behind showing him as a priest. Nevertheless, he effectively eclipsed his ecclesiastical career by running successfully for secular office. Again, it would be like portraying Dwight Eisenhower, golfing, in a history of the US. Or Franklin Roosevelt recovering from polio at Campobello in the same article. Or, closer to the point, Martelly singing professionally. Student7 (talk) 22:09, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I see your point. Savvyjack23 (talk) 22:15, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence
For your untiring diligence in upgrading articles on Haiti. Thanks! Student7 (talk) 19:59, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear Savvyjack23, that is simple, because structure is a wider term. An antenna is not a building, they cannot be listed in a list of tallest buildings. Nonetheless, antennas and buildings can both be listed under structures. I hope this explanation satisfies your question. Osplace 12:49, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Haiti national football team, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Le Nouvelliste and United States national football team. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A kitten for you!
Hello Savvyjack - I am sending you a kitten because you have an appreciation for my pictures. 8^)
I've recently attended a Haiti vs. Honduras futbol match. I'm going to be posting several more pictures of Haitian's in a few days. If you could go back and categorize some of my images better - that would be awesome.
You are invited to join us the "picnic anyone can edit" in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, as part of the Great American Wiknic celebrations being held across the USA. Remember it's a wiki-picnic, which means potluck.
1pm–7pm - come by any time! @ Bartel-Pritchard Square entrance (Prospect Park West and 15th St), immediately on the lawn to your left as you walk through the lovely lotus columns.
Hi Savvyjack! Regarding this song, we need to establish whether the lyrics are copyrighted or not. British copyright law specifies a work is in copyright for 70 years after the death of the author. In this case, the author died in 1968. There are other quirks of copyright that I will investigate, so any help in determining its status is most appreciated. In particular, what did you mean by "The lyrics are to be copied verbatim"? Thanks! CrowCaw 20:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
I'll see what I can do Crow. About that statement, a Bot doesn't recognize whether these lyrics are under British copyright law, so naturally it flagged it when the lyrics were copied and pasted "verbatim" (word-for-word). We're talking about "lyrics", not a article from an excerpt about XYZ. I cannot paraphrase lyrics to a song to compensate for a BOT's lack of situational awareness. What else would I have meant by that statement? Savvyjack23 (talk) 21:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, and you are quite correct about the bot. The reason I asked was that it was hypothesized that perhaps the lyrics are freely released but only when copied verbatim. Continuing to investigate. Thanks again! CrowCaw 21:21, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Oh okay, gotcha. You're welcome and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Savvyjack23 (talk) 21:24, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the invite
Thanks for the invite. I do not have particular interest in these topics, nor am I a professional in the area. I simply saw a few inaccuracies and corrected them.
I have quite a few friends who have been (some still are) in Haiti providing help to the less fortunate people. F1eahr (talk) 03:26, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for listing your dispute at Wikipedia:Third opinion. Your request did not follow the guidelines for listing disputes. These guidelines are in place because they make sure that the editor who writes the Third Opinion is not biased, and that (s)he can easily see what the dispute is about.
. Thanks for the added sections and the "did you know nomination." Awesome! Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:28, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
