Hello!

Now that thats is out of my system, about the newsletter.

What are we doing for it this week? --HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 23:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

VandalProof

This is weird. I signed up fro VandalProof like two days ago. (along with like 5 other people) And I also sent Betacommand (who approves almost everyone, he seems the only one who does it) that please check the list, and approve me. And then he ended up skipping over my message, answering the message after mine, and not approving me. ANd I'm waiting for this. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 02:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Also please block User: Poopmouthyy - inappropriate username. I put {{username}} but obviously I can't block him. Ohmpandya (Talk to Me...) 02:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

"You know, if you wanted something on the Bobby Farrell article, all you had to do was ask in at least a somewhat polite manner instead of vandalizing my talk page repeatedly. jj137 ♠ 23:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)"

Well, you're not being honest... again, which does not surprise me. Long before I resorted to this so-called 'hobby', I left you a polite message on your very page, which you just brushed off with an invalid reason. Nothing on farrell's page was in violation - it was you who made that subjective interpretation, when in fact there was no violation. The problem was that this dude from holland started all that mess and you just took his word for it. Then that republican guy supposedly tried to communicate with you, only to chicken out later on. So, this is where I came in - for the first time since farrell's page got protected under a fraudulent request by that dutch guy, whom you gladly trusted blindly. That dutch guy was the culprit of the problem, whereas the republican guy was some ball-less sissy who backed down very soon. Now, going back to me - I did ask you politely BEFORE I trashed anything - so, please, stop twisting the facts, just like you did with your "open interpretation" of why that video was in violation. There is a difference between "violation to include" and "preferred not to be included". Please, stop twisting things around.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! I leave a decent message and I get reverted by yet another one of your posse, for no reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.221.252 (talk) 02:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Three articles

You prodded three articles (Miniatures: Views of Islamic and Middle Eastern Politics, Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington, and Jihad in the West) with concerns that they did not cite original third-party sources; I eventually deleted them because of an expired PROD tag. The original author requested the pages be undeleted, and said he would work on the sources. Would it be all right if you if I undelete them? jj137 ^♠ 20:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I recommend that you ask him if he has reliable third-party sources for any of them. Before prodding, I did a cursory search and was unable to find any such sources. It's certainly possible I may have missed something. If he does cite such sources, then I would be OK with undeletion. Be sure that they meet the reliability test, and aren't just random political blogs or some such. The article creator has a history of tendentious editing related to the issue of Islam (he's been trying to violate WP:BLP on the Barack Obama featured article for some time). *** Crotalus *** 20:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting it. And for what it's worth - I wish to offer you my most sincere apology for my extremely foul-mouthed persuasions to have the low-life performer exposed for what he really was.

Parish of St. Monica and St. James, Capitol Hill

Hello, This topic is re "03:46, 1 January 2008 Jj137 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Parish of St. Monica and St. James, Capitol Hill" ‎ (Deleted because "CSD G11 - spam". using TW)" I created this page. As someone new to Wikipedia I am not sure what "CSD G11 - spam" means, but to the best of my understanding the page is not spam. Can the page be reinstated? Thanks, StMJStMJ (talk) 19:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Some parts were OK, but others were written like an advertisement (see this for my reason of deletion). I'd be willing to restore it, removing the advertisement parts. jj137 ^♠ 20:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

That would be fine with me. For my edification would you paste the sentences that struck you as ad-like into this talk thing? Language connotations in the "church world" may be somewhat different from those in the "wiki world". Reading the specific sentences that did not conform would be the easiest way for me to get a handle on "wiki world" connotations. Also, seeing them might suggest a rephrasing, so that useful content if any could be retained. Thanks, StMJ (talk) 20:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for providing the deleted material (on my talk page). I see what you mean. Even though there actually is suitable content buried in there, you have to be in "church thinkspace" to pick up on it, so it should be rephrased. This was useful, thanks.

Incidentally, it seems to me that a whole lot of already-existing pages on individual churches would benefit from a similar "style" reprimand... It's such a different style between church and Wikipedia that it's very easy to make stylistic errors.

Of course, you guys are already working very hard... No pressure :)

Best,StMJ (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about the difference between them, it is a pretty common mistake. (Also, if you would like to point out some of the other church articles that need cleanup, that may help) :) So, would you like me to restore the article without the above text? jj137 ^♠ 23:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, please go ahead and restore it without that text. Thanks! Re other pages - Hm - There are an awful lot of individual church pages out there. I'd be happy to point out a few, but my efforts would necessarily be pretty scattershot. Let's see how my own editing goes. If it works out, maybe I could contribute more effectively by suggesting some general editing strategies that make sense to churchgoers.StMJ (talk) 16:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

copyediting template transclusion

Hi,

I see that you've been changing {{refs}} to {{reflist}} on various articles, with the edit summary "copyediting". There isn't really a need to replace template redirects like this, either for readability ("reflist" is still an abbreviation) or for WP:PERFORMANCE reasons. I'm just curious as to why you're doing it. Chris Cunningham (talk) 10:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, {{refs}} redirects to {{reflist}}, and sometimes I find it confusing with so many different templates, etc.; without actually going to the template page, people may think {{refs}} and {{reflist}} are two different reference templates, but they're not. I'm just trying to make things at least slightly clearer to editors, mainly not-so-experienced ones. Hope that answers your question. jj137 ^♠ 23:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

When I download the new one, (Extract it...) it says: The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect..... any suggestions. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 01:32, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I have been trying since I gave you the message. I still don't get it the old one works, but the new one doesn't? Weird... - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Badness on talk:Chrysler Hemi engine

Hi, Jj137. If you get a moment, could you please take a look at the recent unpleasantness? Chrysler Hemi engine was permanently semi-protected due to persistently, doggedly disruptive behaviour by an unrego who, as you can see on the talk page, has a lengthy history of abusive personal attacks and incivility. This is not the same individual who was disrupting Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant. His (or her) newest brand of disruption is to intersperse abusive comments amongst existing text on the talk page. This is in addition to his/her bizarre refusal to sign posts, even to the extent of going back in to delete the autosignature provided by SineBot. It seems to me this talk page is an excellent candidate for permanent semi-protection in line with that of the article, but I don't know if talk pages are ever semiprotected. I'd like to get your view on this before I proceed to RfPP. Thanks. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 23:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

RE:WP:PACKERS

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Green Bay Packers! We are a group of Wikipedians with one common interest, the Green Bay Packers!

There are many things you can do to help out and get yourself involved. Here is a few suggestions.

First visit the main page and our discussion page to see whats going on.
You can add {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to talk pages of Green Bay Packers-related articles, and please assess them as well.
You can categorize Green Bay Packers articles into their proper categories.
Visit the main page and look under Tasks to see any other things that need to be done.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page or contact User:Gonzo fan2007. Thanks for your interest in the project, and lets go out and work on those articles!

Thanks :-) It was a heck of a lot of work assessinga bunch of articles, and getting everything organized. I still want to make a sort of Collaboration of the Week/Month and a type of weekly/monthly newsletter, but I have basically got everything set-up. Now its time to start working on the articles. When things slow down a bit I'm going to start working on Green Bay Packers and some other core articles, so any help there would be great (well any help anywhere would be great :-) But thanks for the kind words (on my talk page and my rfa) and if you need anything feel free to knock on my door.
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 21:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

That would be fine with me!! Feel free to go at it. I have a lot going on right now, so I probably wouldnt be able to get to it for a little bit, so if you want to take over those sections (like be the coordinator or something to that affect), that would be great! If you have any questions or anything, feel free to ask, but I trust your judgment to do some good work :-)
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 21:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

That would be great! Here's the red link to create Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Green Bay Packers subproject/Newsletter. If you didn't know, the html color codes for the Packers colors are #FFCC00 (the Gold color) and #213D30 (the dark green). And if you do create the template, throw {{GreenBayPackersProject|class=NA}} on the talk page for me please!! Thanks for your help!
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 22:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it is a template, but i need the template to float to the right in every other page except for the main project page, where it needs to be centered. I couldnt figure out how to make it centered except for just copying the content right onto the page and then changing it to float:center.

Hello, The second row of examples at [4] illustrate jpeg artifacting pretty well. Hope that clarifies your question.

Question: There is an image that is featured on Commons, does it mean you can't nominate it for Wikipedia? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 01:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I really don't mind whoever wins. Giants, well there really shouldn't be a Super Bowl played, with the Packers, it's gonna be a good game! - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of "great turning"

The article I wrote on "great turning" was deleted earlier this month. Can you tell me why? - Mike Ignatowski Mike ignatowski (talk) 01:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

There was an expired PROD tag, the concern being: lack of independent reliable sources to establish notability. jj137 ^♠ 02:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I mean in 2008. Marlith ^T/C 03:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: Barnstar

Thanks very much for the barnstar you awarded me. All the vandalism and spam on Wikipedia has really started to get my goat so I thought it was time I joined the campaign to stop it. --Astral (talk) 03:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I've been using a brilliant tool called Huggle to help me fight vandals and as I had some free time over the weekend, I thought I'd make a concerted effort rather than jist do a few reverts and then think "Well, that's my contributions done for the day". :-) Astral (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Not again, man, make up your mind. Why let that dutch character mess with your mind? That was not a compromise, that was called obliteration. We've been there before. If you put it in the link, put the appropriate context to it, don't just say an 'interview'. It makes no sense, and that's what that dude wants. Come on, man, you can do better than that.

Super Bowl

Yep... :(

Every game has been a upset except the Pat's games.
Did you see the 35 yard attempt at the last second of the 4th quarter - I could have kicked a better one. (Ok maybe not...)
Pats vs. Giants = Game 16 all over again.
It's not going to be the most exciting Super Bowl.
Looks like another ring on Brady. Eventually he might have to move on to his toes... I hope :)
Thats all I have to say.... - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 15:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

You're right, it will probably be Week 17 all over again. I think the Pats will win, but it may be close. jj137 ^♠ 15:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. The Giants did put up a decent fight last time, and they have more experience to now. We'll just have to wait and see, February 3rd, seems so far away... - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 15:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok... No idea where you live, but last time I checked it was 13 days away from here :) Isn't it on Feb. 3rd?.. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 16:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

And then a week later is Hawaii - Pro Bowl - always fun to watch. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 16:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey. Can you go to newpages and delete all of the new pages made by Vividenblem. All of them are {{db-bio}} or little or no context. Thanks! - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 16:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Or go to his/her's contribs. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 17:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

All the same :) Thanks. Shouldn't you have deleted them? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 17:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised today's featured article is featured? Isn't it required that all featured articles have an image? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 19:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No. Most have pictures, but occasionally they won't. jj137 ^♠ 02:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Page prot

I curious, not upset or anything, just curious, about why you protected my user page. — Rlevse • Talk • 19:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice to see you back. I protected it mainly because, basically, if you said "I quit", then nobody else should change that until you came back. (For example, when RickK left, his userpage received basically no constructive edits but vandalism before he came back to protect it.) You can (obviously) go ahead and unprotect it if you want. jj137 ^♠ 22:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Returning

After much thought and deliberation I have decided to return. Many wikians contacted me by various means and I truly appreciate the support from all of them. Man, did I need that wiki break! I have learned from it and will use the experience to improve. — Rlevse • Talk • 19:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Template

How do you start a template - My talk page is a mess. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! - for the template - and the barnstars! No wonder I kept on searching {{<title here>}} trying to create it that way, now I see :) - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. I got 5 barnstars for edits on 1 page (well...I made 100 edits) the person thought I deserved them. Also: if you see the "tireless contributor barnstar" (the little image on the top right), it looks "weird" compared to the others, I know it's suppose to be spinning, but its small and...(can't think of the word). Can you fix that? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

If you make the following changes:

right:386px;
top:6.4px
And make it 22px as you said, it looks great!

Thanks for the help! - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 02:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, yeah. How do you find out if it's already one, is a better way to rephrase it. Is there any way other than looking through the long list? 20px - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 03:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

re: Main Page

How far down the history list is that?

But no, it is an artifact, like my very low internal id, due to an early software update that seemed to remove a lot of user and history data. TwoOneTwo (talk) 15:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you go all the way back in the history, you will find this (it wouldn't let me show a diff). jj 137 20:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Idea...

Question: There is a Wikipedia "thing" called a Wikiworldcup. If you want to create one of these, the idea I'm thinking of is something totally different, just using that as an example - can you? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 20:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I might sign up. Okay: What I want to do is something like "Admin of the year/month" - you get the picture. It should be like - wow. ok the sun is out and its snowing hard - weird - back to this. I have a format of how it should be set up ready, you thing this is a good idea - WIkipedia does not have this - or I don't know about it. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 20:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I have that all set up, just going to take a while to type it (its all in my head). Should we create a user subpage or a new page itself. Hopefully you stay 'online' if you know what I mean. I could use your help! - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, this look good?. Well we should have a trophy similar to the Wikiworldcup thing - I think I can design that - that would be uploaded under "Its my own work" right?- Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking of having votes, would that work? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I can think of a way to get enough people....but I mean you can nominate yourself... would that count for bureaucracy? - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Check your email. Which do you like best? The first two are pretty bad... Whatever you like. Ok. Yes something like what you are talking about. We should have two parties (something like the presidential election) one party will be called _______________, and the other will be called _________________. The people who get the most opposes are eliminated. Next round. Next round. etc. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah: IGNORE THE CAPTION ON THE FIRST ONE GOT IT ONLINE _ DIDN'T See it till now. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Idea - Part II

Alright - whoops! We'll just use the original[7]. Is that ok? here is a basic layout:

The admin people who got nominated and/or self-nom. (using random names)

__________________ party

jko123
youw12221
wikfiiereesd123

Ok lets say:

__________________ party

JP1123232 - oppose + oppose + oppose + oppose
JC1322 - you get the point
hi5ggh

First Round: 3 people are eliminated from each party Second Round: 2 people are eliminated from each party Third Round: 1 guy from each party.

- As the rounds go on the admins will have to show proof of why they deserve the trophy, and the votes from other people may also effect. I think you get the basics. :) - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 21:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I meant to write: Proof of there recent edits, which shows they have been using tools well, right way, editing a good amount every day.... you get the point. - Ohmpandya ^{We need to talk... ♦ contribs} 22:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
