a cappella

I'd be happy to see you adding quality, well-referenced articles about a cappella to wikipeida. My main concern with the articles I have been nominating for deletion has been that the articles were derivative of the information available on the group's websites or written from the personal experience of the members rather than from independent published sources. As for specific sources (and there's no reason you need to consider my opinion authoritative), I would prefer that you not cite sources like IMDb and personal webistes, although the game credits are obviously reasonable. Published sources (either books or periodicals) are of course the most prefered. Savidan 22:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

In the future, please inform me when mentioning my name on various noticeboards. I've re-opened your thread at WP:BLP/N as I have only now become aware of it. — CharlotteWebb 02:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

speedy tags

You should not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you have created yourself. The hangon tag was the appropriate choice. A good read would be the criteria for speedy deletion, which gives the various reasons an article can be deleted quickly from Wikipedia. It's possible that the other editor will still nominate the article for deletion under the articles for deletion process, which is a five-day, open discussion about the status of the article. AfD's can have a variety of outcomes between keep and delete, including keep with caveats, merge, redirect, etc.

That said, the other editor's point that the article is currently mostly unsourced is an important one. I would suggest trying to find reliable sources about this person to flesh out the article. One English language source would probably be appreciated by other editors, especially if this article is nominated for deletion. Although I'm not aware of any requirement that sources be in English, that does not mean that such a requirement does not exist. Natalie 23:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have actually checked the page history - for some reason I thought you had created the page. In that case, it is acceptable to remove the speedy tag, but I think it's considered polite to give a reason on the talk page (unless it's an incredibly obvious bad faith speedy nom) or possibly get in touch with the person who tagged it and explain your reasoning. Natalie 23:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

WoW Glider

I heard about it on The Instance Podcast (TheInstance.net) who have GM's who supply them with leaked information, however that's sketchy. But they said they read about it on WoW Insider. Let me do a bit of research for a sec. Maurauth 17:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah that appears so now, I thought it was fishy, but the show was released on the 3rd of April, not the first. Maurauth 18:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

stop putting a speedy deletion on my article you moron. Are you so smug and self important that you have to tag everything you dont understand? The Pleasuredrome is London's premier gay sauna and I'm in the midst of documenting it. I would appreciate it if you would leave the page be. [[Pearcedolan]]

Welcome

Hi, JavaTenor, and welcome to WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to the Bay Area. Here are some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve Bay Area-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able. Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page. It is highly recommended that you watchlist it. The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, which you are welcome to participate. Our system for improving lower-quality articles is Jumpaclass. If you'll be editing stub, start, or B-class articles, consider using Jumpaclass to track your progress. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Bay Area topics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.

If you could e-mail me a couple of the links, that would be very helpful, thank you. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Sterling Johnson Jr.

That's really odd for a U.S. District Court to be claiming copyright in anything. Agencies of the U.S. Government aren't supposed to do that. In any case, we shouldn't ever cut-and-paste from other sources, even if there's no copyright issue, for reasons of style and formatting if nothing else. Thanks, NawlinWiki 18:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Allan Ray (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // MartinBot 16:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

It is my humble opinion that reverting somebody's copying of the content from Ray Allen to Allan Ray was indeed a legitimate edit, but I will allow the reader of this talk page to draw his or her own conclusions about my discretion. :) JavaTenor 16:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

About radical values environmentalism

The text in this article appeared in a philosophy article about values. It was clearly (to me, at least) way off-topic. It addressed none of the standard philosophical issues. So, I placed it in a separate article, linked from the philosophy article. It might be better merged into something about environmentalism, gaia, or something like that. The whole thing well-predated the current Wikipedian fashion of wanting references, so there was no articulable reason for deletion at the time. So, briefly, if you make it a candidate for deletion, it's no problem for me. Ray Van De Walker 18:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship, which passed with 50 supports, 1 neutral, and 1 oppose. My goal is to keep earning your trust every time I grab the "mop". (And I'm always open to constructive criticism and advice!)

Bearian's RfA

Hi, thanks for supporting my RfA, which passed 63 to 1. I really appreciate that you wrote such nice things about me. I hope that I am doing good so far. Bearian 20:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace, so that is what I will do. I will go for another RfA in two month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been two months. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 01:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Admin coach

Are you still interested in being an admin? I saw your request on the requests page, and after taking a look at your contributions, decided that I'd be willing to coach you. Are you up to it? bibliomaniac15 18:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll create a subpage for you at User:JavaTenor/Admin coaching. We can also communicate via e-mail, if that's what you'd prefer. Since we both live in California, it'll probably be easier to communicate on Wiki anyway. Admin coaching is mostly questions and possible scenarios, so there's a lot of answering to do. bibliomaniac15 21:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll answer the questions later this evening (I have to leave the house for a few hours this afternoon). JavaTenor 21:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

You don't need to tell me. I'll check the page periodically, and I have it on my watchlist. bibliomaniac15 05:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I posted some new questions on the page that you haven't replied to yet. bibliomaniac15 00:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Still thinking about the essay, or should I go on? bibliomaniac15 04:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't come up with anything good on the essay front yet, so if there's another project you'd like me to work on in the meantime, that would be fine. JavaTenor (talk) 07:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Tyler Padalecki

Upon further examination (thanks to your message), I think this is probably a valid G3. If there was even a shred of evidence that "Tyler Padalecki" was an alternate name of Sam Jones, I'd change it to a redirect, but there really doesn't seem to be anything. I'll delete it - thanks for bringing this error to my attention. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 11:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Lucy's commercial

What most editors who support TTN's actions are looking for would be dfor you to take all those great references from the talk page of the article, and compose a couple of paragraphs using the real-world information within them to discuss the influences of the scene. All those articles seen to talk about the episode from the outside. Instead of, 'Then lucy did this, then this, then Ricky got upset', They talk about Ball's comedic performance, her timing, and so on. If you write about that, about the effect her style of comedy and presentation of the scene had on later comedians, comediennes, and sitcom production, then you'd be establishing notability. You got the sources, now you need to use them. ThuranX (talk) 01:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

That's the plan; I just haven't gotten around to it yet, so I've left it as a redirect until I have a chance to rewrite the article JavaTenor (talk) 16:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Keeping this part, about what you needed to know about what to do next, can stay here on talk. the actual 'how does this idea look' and back and forth about the actual added text, can go on the article talk page. I will add it to my watchlist now, and will know if you are posting stuff and editing the page. As for your time and schedule, no worries, real life is always more important. ThuranX (talk) 22:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Ringo Star

Thanks kindly for the notice, but you've made a mistake. I didn't create the article you're trying to delete -- I only created the page called Ringo Star as a redirect to Ringo Starr. You may want to send a note to the actual creator instead, since I have no opinion at all on the article, though if you do end up deleting it I ask that you remember to recreate it as a convenience redirect to the actual Ringo's article. regards — Dan | talk 17:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see that now; apologies for bothering you with the Twinkle auto-message. It appears to have been redirected already, which is a reasonable result in my opinion. JavaTenor (talk) 02:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

• Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
• Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador needed

Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.

Please let me know if you're interested!

Thanks. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 19:20, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Little Fatty

Hi! I read your comments a while ago about Little Fatty and other "unwilling internet phenomena"

Since Little Fatty has grown to accept his role in an internet meme and freely engaged in interviews about it, and because he has now become a celebrity in China, I chose to re-establish a standalone article for him. He hired an individual as his agent and made a choice to become a public figure and promote himself.

From my understanding Star Wars Kid does not mention the kid's name because the kid never liked what happened to him, never interviewed about it, became extremely angry, and took legal action against other parties.

In the case of Little Fatty the kid grew to accept his role in an internet meme, discussed when he liked the photoshop touches and when he didn't, and even became a movie star.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
