Hello. I noticed your request for a coach over at Admin coaching, and I'm available. If you do not currently have an admin coach, I would be glad to be your coach. I do have a few of conditions though, and they are that you:

1. watch your coaching page closely, and reply to every post there in a timely fashion
2. fill in all of your edit summaries (if you find yourself forgetting, there's a setting in "my preferences" that will remind you)
3. complete all the assignments you are given to the best of your ability. If you have trouble with an assignment, by all means, let me know, so we can discuss possible solutions and alternatives.
4. don't go for your RfA or accept an RfA nomination except from me - I will nominate you when I believe you are ready

Please let me know if you agree, and we can get started.

I look forward to your reply.

I have created the page User:Sjones23/Admin coaching, from which I will coordinate the coaching. Right now, it's pretty much blank, but I'll add more to it as we go. Be sure to check on it regularly. I'll start off by asking you the standard RfA questions on the page. Best regards, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I would recommend that you get Qui, a tool that allows users to view each other's status more easily. This way, I can know when it is convenient to contact you, and vice versa. After you get it, just add me to your friends list. Note: It doesn't work very well in Internet Explorer, so if you have that, might be time to get Firefox. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read my note at User:Sjones23/Admin coaching? Sorry I didn't make this clear at the beginning, but when you have read a comment of mine on any of the coaching pages, please reply to acknowledge receipt of the comment. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You might want to see the new note I added to User:Sjones23/Admin coaching. (Don't forget to watchlist your admin coaching page if you haven't done so already. I general, reply to every message I add, even if your reply is just "OK I got it." This way I know that you read it.) Cheers, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:30, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I haven't contacted you in a long time. I was actually a little busy myself. So how is it going?

Hi, on the List of Fairy Tail characters I have to disagree on changing the voice actor references, as the term seiyu isn't at the level of a Japanese loan word, well maybe among anime fans it is? Can we get it changed to anime voice format? AngusWOOF (talk) 03:57, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I think we should use this wording, "In the Japanese version of the series, [character] is voiced by [Japanese voice actor/actress]. In the English dub, he/she is voiced by [English voice actor/actress]" (using List of One Piece characters as a model). Would that work? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Thanks for fixing those. I also went ahead and did those ISBN corrections for Volume 10. AngusWOOF (talk) 04:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was asked to expand the article. But English is not my native language. It would be grateful if you could translate the ja article and add it to the en article. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 06:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, doing that requested reassessment, I was surprised how developed that article already is. The last time I saw it, it looked rather bare-bones. Anyway, as you mentioned a possible FLC, I thought I'd make you aware of a few things, just in case you aren't already aware of them. So far no list using the gnr/gnn referencing style has gone through FLC. It was introduced to the Naruto list after its promotion. Also, the guy who created/designed the templates/referencing style (that would be me) isn't quite happy with it yet himself. Lastly, having spent considerable time at FLC, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out, let's say, controversial. FLC reviewers do have a tendency for nitpicking. Well, just thought you should know. Goodraise 04:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. Best wishes, Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:23, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the WikiProject Anime and manga team need to get used to and accept gnn/gnr as it's extremely useful for directly sourcing material, which is what the Fairy Tail characters list was originally tagged for lack of citations, and like Goodraise said, gnn/gnr has already been implemented on FLC Naruto and One Piece. Does that mean those articles should be demoted? Otherwise we'd have to go back to the huge list of references like List of Sekirei characters. AngusWOOF (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should we open up a discussion whether the gnn/gnr thing is acceptable on the centralized discussion page? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:21, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that would be of much use. The project members all seem to love it. But that doesn't mean the FLC crowd will. I'm mainly concerned because I've had so little critical feedback on it, while it looks so jury-rigged and unprofessional. I think the way to go is a very thorough peer review, specifically asking reviewers to comment on the referencing style. Goodraise 10:58, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just wondering, did you take Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Fairy Tail characters/archive1 off your watchlist after it was closed? Goodraise 20:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not, but the peer review is continuing. Should we move the comments Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Fairy Tail characters/archive2 to the first peer review? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:22, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review isn't among the places I hang out a lot. You could make Ruhrfisch (talk · contribs) aware of this. Goodraise 22:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello S. I knew there was a message that I had been meaning to leave for you and seeing your name on my watchlist jogged my memory. In regards to your suggestion here Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film#Vandalism_by_201.19..2A..2A about filing an abuse report I would say that anything that might help in this situation is worth trying. You've seen how big the list is that we are working on. Also I keep seeing your name in the edit histories as having reverted the Brazilian menaces edits at the time they were made so you know how long this vandal has been operating. In many ways these edits are worse than the usual vandalism of adding the word "poop" and such. I have no idea what is involved in filing that kind of report but I will offer my full support should you wish to do so.

After not receiving a response from Lenin and McCarthy to a call for a review by them, I'm asking another experienced editor to judge if the article fulfills the B-class criteria and if it does so, promote it; advice and/or comments on making it better always appreciated and needed. Kaguya-chan and I have been largely involved in the expansion of the article, so we'd better avoid do it ourselves, as an irrelevant person would be more objective. Hope I'm not asking much.

Hi Sjones23,

I've noticed that you've started trimming the plot outline section for The Dark Knight Rises down to keep it within the 700 words allowed by WP:FILMPLOT. However, the outline is current at 699 words by my count, and I don't think any further reductions are necessary, and they run the risk of making things a little ambiguous. For instance, you changed this:

At a function celebrating Dent, he plans to admit to the conspiracy, but decides that the city is not ready to hear the truth.

Into this:

At a function celebrating Dent, he plans to admit to the conspiracy, but decides to withhold the truth.

I feel that the problem with this edit is that it gives no reason for Gordon's decision not to reveal the cover-up of Dent's crimes, and makes things a little too ambiguous.

Yes, I know that FILMPLOT is only a guideline. Just because it allows for 700 words, that doesn't mean that a plot outline should be 700 words. However, The Dark Knight Rises is a very complex film, and it was difficult enough to write a first draft that covered the important points whilst staying within 700 words (in the end, I wrote it backwards, starting with the end). Like I said, I think that any futher trimming down of the article will only make things ambiguous, and hurt the article in the long run. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:35, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. By the way, I think we should add a release section to the article since we have a source for the NYC world premiere of the film. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 10:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it, if you think it's justified. Maybe merge the Colorado theatre shooting section into it. I don't really know; I don't contribute to film pages that often, and when I do, I tend to work mostly on the recaps of the plot and occasionally characters. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:52, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 15:14, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees Cwmhiraeth (submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees Grapple X (submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees Muboshgu (submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's Ruby2010 (submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey, I went back and took a look at the article, and I think with all the changes it now meets the criteria I had said in my informal GA review. If you want to nominate it, I'll give it a real review, and I expect I'll pass it. --PresN 17:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's something that's been bugging me about the article. Shouldn't In merchandise be combined with appearances? It contains only two sentences, making it a really small section.Tintor2 (talk) 17:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sjones23! I'm afraid there's some confusion as to the wording of your RfC. I watched what happened at the policy page and then saw you open the thing, so I knew immediately what it was about. But it is vaguely worded with no link to the attempted policy change, and one editor has interpreted the RfC to basically mean "Should we ban every indeffed editor?" I think you should read the latest commentary there and expand the proposal more concisely, preferably with a link to the change that started it. Cheers :> Doc talk 05:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You might contemplate posting your message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera as well as the other classical music projects. The Operas section in the Dvořák article is pretty thin and (I think) not entirely trustworthy as it stands, and also the Opera Project banner ought to be added to the Talk page. FWIW, I've seen three productions of Jakobin and one of The Devil and Kate as well as several Rusalkas (Rusalki?), plus I have The New Grove Dictionary of Opera (four pages on the operas in general and 10 other articles on individual operas). However, I'll be away from tomorrow p.m. until late Thursday. Best. --GuillaumeTell 21:27, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've been meaning to get to work on FF13-2's article, so maybe I'll help you out there, but I'm not sure about a music article. I typically wait for there to be two full albums for a game before making a separate music article- there's just generally not enough information to fill an article out before that, I don't like stubby album articles. Hmm, vgmdb.net is telling me there's an OST Plus album out there, though, didn't realize that, so I suppose I could make an article.

I think I'll come work FF13's article up to GA first, and if I find enough sources to build a music article I'll spring off from there. --PresN 18:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - Really Dvorak is not my speciality - you had best look in the biographies or in Grove's Dictionary of Music. Really D's reception in Prague, Vienna and London is also important - perhaps more important in the long run than his American reception. The stuff about the US in the article certainly needs a lot of improving, however. Don't forget to mention somewhere that Charles Ives's first symphony is heavily based on Dvorak - and so is the second, to a large extent. The fact that Ives eventually chucked this influence for a more 'American' style is indicative that D's American legacy was relatively short-lived and shallow. Best, --Smerus (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
2. Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
3. Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
4. Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
5. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
6. Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
7. Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
8. Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), Ealdgyth (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), The Bushranger (submissions) and 1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future.

I"m sorry I false accused you and harrassed you, is that all i need to ask you. DisneyGirlovestacos95 (talk) 13:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No hard feelings. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 15:02, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At SPI, we generally prefer to not tag suspected socks, or give notices, or provide any info to the socks except in rare cases. Typically, if there is linkage or not linkage, such as a checkuser confirming them, then nothing they say will "explain it", so their participation isn't required most of the time. This keeps the investigations drama-free and much faster. IE: if a new user comes in and starts reverting another user, the same as a now blocked user did, and that is all he does, nothing he can say changes the fact that he is likely a sock. Notification of SPI isn't required, btw, and the policy actually discourages it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 16:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I only thought we had to tag suspected socks and I was concerned about them. I understand that per WP:SOCKPUPPET, "only blocked accounts should be tagged as Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets and only upon sufficient evidence that would stand up to scrutiny." My mistake! I try to keep SPI investigations drama free as possible. I will keep that in mind for the future. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:30, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the comments. I've left a response if you could further comment. --JDC808 ♫ 05:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Responded. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Onikiri keeps reverting my changes to the page, and now he's logged out and doing it on other articles I touched up. Please contribute to the conversation on Talk:List of Saint Seiya Omega characters if you have the time.—Ryulong (琉竜) 00:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No commentary on his removals of katakana from at least 5 pages?—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Onikiri seems to be ignoring the several messages I've left on his talk page and he is mostly refusing to respond to the very talk page discussion he started.—Ryulong (琉竜) 06:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, boy... I think Onikiri is refusing to get the point. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 06:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted on WP:DRN now. I fear what that may do, but I will get chewed out if I go to ANI at this stage.—Ryulong (琉竜) 07:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Could you assess it for C-class? I'm asking a person not involved in its expansion for objectivity reasons. Thank you. Hula Hup (talk) 14:21, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Template:J Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable. Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote! August 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight September 30 (UTC). September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight September 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin. >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Sorry, but the rules of WP:PR only allow one open PR per editor. As Richard Wagner is still open, you should withdraw this until Wagner is closed; if you wish, you can close Wagner and keep this open. Brianboulton (talk) 23:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I've withdrawn the Spirited Away peer review and kept the Wagner peer review open. Thanks for the timely response. Best wishes, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:25, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I see that List of Fairy Tail manga volumes is also still open. This, too, needs to be closed. Brianboulton (talk) 23:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Will do. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:31, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
