We received an email at info-en from a newbie asking why you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sedbury&diff=44364293&oldid=44364191 reverted edits to Sedbury]. I can see that the last edit was a copyvio but the user who did it and later checked the history didn't understand. Please use more descriptive [[Help:Edit summary|edit summaries]] in the future. -- [[User:Jeandré|Jeandré]], 2006-03-18[[User talk:Jeandré|t]]19:07z

:Thanks for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jeandr%C3%A9&diff=44396056&oldid=42668003 explanation]. I don't have a problem with the revert itself: I ofcourse agree with the removal of the copyvio, and explained that to the person who emailed. He/she was not the person who made the Rowling edit (the removal of which I also didn't have a problem with, it not being sourced). I didn't know that was an personal attack, having not read any of the Potter books or knowning what Snape is like. An edit summary of something like "rv <http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=15758> copyvio and unsourced personal attack against Nettleship." would have reduced the confusion. -- [[User:Jeandré|Jeandré]], 2006-03-18[[User talk:Jeandré|t]]20:06z

IMPORTANT:Only email me if your message is urgent. I've got a life outside Wikipedia...a busy life...and I dedicate as much free time to Wikipedia as I can spare, but I often can't be disturbed with emails when I've got work to do. That said, it's not as if I'm going to get angry if you email me...just consider the urgency of your message. If you need an answer NOW, then, by all means, email me :-D


It was a one sentence article that, as per the rule, made no attempt to establish noteability. I'm clearly not the only one who thinks it should be gone, either, considering it's now up for AfD. --InShaneee 03:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • It deserved to be speedied because, as per the rule, the article itself made no attempt to establish notability. I know Hawthorne Hights is a notable band, but I didn't try to speedy their article. I'm not going to discuss the merits of the article itself, though. I've already said my piece on the AfD page. --InShaneee 03:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why the revert?

Why did you revert Internet Gambling Prohibition Act? The contribution was perfectly good. --User At Work 13:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the message. I reverted that yesterday around the time when we hit the 1,000,000th article, so the vandalism was kind of intense at the time. I'm sorry I reverted it, but at first glance, it appeared to be a)out of the format typically required for Wikipedia articles and b}unreferenced. If you can find a reference for the material you put on and if you can add it in proper WP format, I think it will be perfectly good. JHMM13 (T | C) 18:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

Hey, JHMM13. You told me to contact you via your talk page, and here I am. I wanted to ask, I completed the translation for Prisoner of Azkaban, in a sub page of my User Page. How do I add it to a normal Wikipedia article? --Wanna Know My Name? Later 15:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry about the delay in response. I just got on spring break and I was snowboarding all of yesterday. Nice job on the POA article! I don't know anything about Spanish translation, but it looks like you're blazing a new trail in terms of Spanish Harry Potter film articles. Before you translate the entire, thing you may want to check into the formats of different Wikipedias. For instance, there doesn't appear to be a Harry Potter portal on the Es-Wiki (at least none that I can easily find out), so you may want to take that top bit off the page. It's also important to note that the Spanish version of the films may have had different details than the English version (although this is probably incidental). Check around the Community Portal for both En-Wiki and Es-Wiki to get some help, but in the mean time, you can post it to the Spanish Wikipedia under the equivalent name in Spanish. Then you can link to it from the En version by following the format at the bottom of the page for other WP languages. If you have any questions, ask the Spanish translators first, then come to me if you're having trouble. I'm really not a translation expert. JHMM13 (T | C) 20:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support

rƒa · ɐƒɹ

Thank you for supporting me in my request for adminship! It ended with a tally of 39/5/4, and I am now an admin. I'm glad to have earned the trust of the community, and I will make use of it responsibly. Of course, you can let me know of any comments or concerns you have.

Thank you, in particular, for being the first to support me on my RfA. I truly appreciated your eloquent remarks.

With a million articles in front of me, I'd better get mopping.

rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 05:11, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support in my RfA

Just wanted to drop a quick note — nothing fancy! — to say thanks for your vote of confidence in my recent request for adminship. As you might have noticed it was unsuccessful; most objections related to my lack of experience. While I disagree that nearly 4000 edits, whether spread over two months or ten, constitutes a lack of experience, I respect the vote and will try again at a later date. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to help out in the meantime as much as I could with admin access, but again I appreciate your support and hope I'll have it the next time I am nominated. BRossow T/C 18:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for participating in Wikiproject New Jersey. In an attempt to create articles for some of the non-existing pages related to New Jersey, NJCOTW was recently created to bring members of WP:NJ together to work collaboratively on a certain selected topic, which this week is List of Governors of New Jersey. Please help by nominating/voting/commenting on articles on WP:NJCOTW, or by helping to improve articles in the scope of the topic for the NJCOTW. AndyZ 00:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks... I jsut woke up :-S Fosnez 08:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


User talk

Thank you for leaving a message on my talk page, however, as you did while suggesting, it would be best to leave editing of my page up to me. (Edit: The way I worded this comes off as rather mean... Sorry about that, no offense is intended) Charles 00:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

None taken. The point is that people can find the information in the history section anyway, so there's no hiding old edits. Keeping it easily accessible makes it easier for people in dispute resolution to comb through stuff. Incidentally, I'm going to stop by again in a little bit to ask you a few questions about some edits that have been made with regards to translation articles. I've gotten a few complaints, but for now, I don't know too much. Remember, I'm not an admin and I've got no "power" so you don't have to actually deal with me at all, but I think if we can all work this stuff out prior to getting admins involved, the better off everyone will be, and the better the quality of our articles will be :-). Thanks for the quick response. JHMM13 (T | C) 00:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Archive is now up. And yes, feel free to discuss whatever problems may be surrounding some of my edits with me. I will be more than happy to state my reasonings. Charles 01:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...

...for the Barnstar, JHMM13. I really appreciate it! Don't forget to thank Banes as well; he's also put a lot of good work into admin coaching. :) Cheers, Sango123 (e) 16:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Schools

Schools should not be prodded as it is for uncontroversial deletions and all nominations of schools are fiercely controversial (and pretty certain to fail - 100% certain for high schools). The school you prodded had already been deprodded when I came across it. Thank you Osomec 00:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Greer-cut.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Shyam (T/C) 12:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Shyam. That image was uploaded by me such a long time ago that I can't even remember it. I'm almost positive it was an AP or Reuters image, so I'm uncertain about the copyright status. Incidentally, I wonder what the name of that template you used on my page is. I've seen it around and I always felt it was rather harsh and imposing, so I'd like to leave a note on the template talk page. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 19:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response, please tag it appropriately or provide sufficient information on copyright status, followed by removing no souce tag to make avoid deletion. The tag used is: {{Image source}}. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 19:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. I think it should be deleted as I can't exactly remember where I got it from and at the time I was ignorant as to what Wikipedia's image copyright policy was. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 19:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry that I didn't get all of the vandalism. However, I am writing to address your comments on my talk page. You write as if you have never made any mistakes before, it is precisely because of this uncollegial attitude why people leave wikipedia. I suggest in the future you watch the tome of your comments. --Scaife (Talk) Don't forget Hanlon's Razor 19:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you took it that way, but what would you have rather had? I told you what the problem was, why that problem was a problem, and a suggestion for the future. I don't feel I was speaking down to you, but I'm not going to leave out information I would tell any other user in this circumstance just because you've been around longer or made the mistake before. If you make a mistake, you deserve precisely the same "warning" (for lack of a better word) as someone who made that same mistake with their first edit. JHMM13 (T | C) 19:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note - this is the message in question copied from Scaife's talk page:
Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up that your edit to Islam could have used a little more in-depth analysis than what you gave. Using Popups, you reverted to a similarly vandalized version of the page. This was probably more dangerous to the content of the article because people might have already assumed later on that you covered all the vandalism done by that IP user. In the future, I suggest you really get into the page history or use Popups more wisely. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 19:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another one from about a year ago. Sorry I can't find the source, you can delete it if you need to. JHMM13 (T | C) 05:18, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an admin now!!

Thanks for voting on my RFA and helping me become an admin. The final tally was 108-0-1 (putting me on the WP:100 list. I hope to do my best in upholding the integrity of Wikipedia. Thanks again, Gator (talk) 13:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my RfA.

Sadly, my RfA failed (on my birthday out of all days!), mainly due to it's closeness to the previous one. I hope that in any future RfAs I'll have your support!

Nonetheless, if I can do anything for you don't hesitate to ask me.

Have a nice St Patrick's Day!

Thanks JHMM13 for that help on userboxes and yes that is what i meant. I'm completely new to this whole thing and i have not the least idea what anything is! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xykon (talk • contribs)

Descriptive edit summaries.

We received an email at info-en from a newbie asking why you reverted edits to Sedbury. I can see that the last edit was a copyvio but the user who did it and later checked the history didn't understand. Please use more descriptive edit summaries in the future. -- Jeandré, 2006-03-18t19:07z
