South Park

Why do you keep reverting my edit as vandalism? Even if that is not the right way to do that, the vandalism page itself says that so long as this is a good faith edit, it is not vandalism. It is a good faith edit, I am trying to identify the source of the info right there, or at least get somebody to clarify what they meant by that. See the south park talk page.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

This is re your reversion of my edit to the Charlie and the Chocolate factory regarding the fate of Veruca Salt's parents. I'm afraid you're incorrect. That section is specifically referencing the plot of the book, and in the book, both parents are present, and both are summarily tossed down the chute. You may be confusing the book with the movies; both movies depict only Veruca's father going down the chute, as he is the only parent present. However, the original story has both parents present through the tour, and both get tossed down the chute. See the Differences page for corroboration of both Mrs. Salt's presence and her fate, specifically the entries "Children accompanied by", "The furnace and incinerator", '"Loompaland? There's no such place!" / "Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography!"')

As such, I've reversed your reversal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.77.39.192 (talk) 20:30, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, I wish I had a copy of the book. But alright. Jmlk17 21:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ivanschitz

hi

i already wrote a message on Ivanschitz' talk page

but tell me, how exactly am i vandalizing the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.109.43.98 (talkcontribs)

It's obvious you know. Jmlk17 10:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pssst...

You still awake? Got something I'd like you check out. ArielGold 11:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that

I'm sorry, I have no idea what was going through my head. Anyways, thanks for telling me. Cheers, Neranei (talk) 14:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh man, no worries! Happy editing! Jmlk17 21:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. Happy editing to you too! Neranei (talk) 22:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per this...

[1] I've tried to explain things to the editor, and there seem to be some fairly large disagreements on the talk page of the article in question. I was wondering if you thought it appropriate to request SP until those issues are worked out, as it seems to be heading towards constant POV warring. What do you think? ArielGold 21:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just thinking that actually. Is the user still doing POV pushing? Jmlk17 22:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Appears to be offline, as I'm sure I'd have gotten a reply had the talk page been read. Please review the comment I made on his talk page, and add any additional information you may feel is helpful. However, judging from the last comment the user made on the article's talk page, accusing an editor of sockpuppetry, I'd say the issues are far from over, sadly... ArielGold 22:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not entirely sure actually. Your message on his talk page is concise, and polite as always. But I hesitate to really do anything other than warn or something at this point. I mean, I have had a LOT worse talked about me around here other than a POV-pusher lol. Jmlk17 22:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, and that's not really the basic issue, if you review the history, he's not the only one reverting, the past week has seen a real problem with this issue, and at this point, I'm not even sure what a "good revision" would be with regards to the article. And I know zippo about the subject matter, so it isn't like I can even review it for problems. That's why I'm wondering if SP wouldn't be a good idea until some sort of consensus is reached. But I'm not going to pop it onto the RFPP page without a good reason, which is why I thought I'd ask you your thoughts. I was thinking initially to let it go a day more and see what happens. ArielGold 22:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

quick question

when I look at my watchlist or the history of the page, it looks something like this: Wikipedia:Sandbox‎; 08:54 . . (+15) . . 136.8.5.100 (Talk) My question is what does the (+15) mean? Sometimes it's red (for a negative), or green, (for a positive. All help will be appreciated. --MKnight9989 12:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(I think Jmlk might still be in bed, so I'll answer and he can expand later)
That's the number of Kilobytes of change that the edit made + (green), - (red), and (grey)= 0 change in file size (i.e. spelling edits that swap out one letter for another). ArielGold 13:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks ariel gold —Preceding unsigned comment added by MKnight9989 (talkcontribs) 13:03, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Hope she was able to help! :) Jmlk17 18:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is requesting that his autoblock be lifted. He's using the same IP (assigned to University of Pennsylvania) as User:Mqmsucks and you can check the contribs to assess whether its likely they are the same person - I would be quite convinced that they are not: Cobaltbluetony has no obvious edits to anything having to do with the Indian subcontinent or its politics. If you don't respond shortly, I think I'll unblock him because the IP is indef blocked and it would be unfair to Cobaltbluetony to be indef'd too. Cheers, Carlossuarez46 20:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ANI for your perusal

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive user... thanks for the advice! Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 07:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! As soon as I quit throwing up, I'll try and take a look :). (Gotta love food poisoning eh)? Jmlk17 07:10, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better. First thing I'd do after is run straight from the toilet to the computer and hope the food poisoning article could help! ;) Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 07:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, I actually have been reading that for a while tonight...well, that, and vandal-thumping :). Jmlk17 07:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Thank you for your constructive criticism on my RFA. I have now withdrawn at (8/7/1). Just so I know, how can I improve so that I succeed in my next RFA? Hope to see ya around. -FlubecaTalk 17:56, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Hartram

Hi JMLK17

Criticsims of my edits taken and learn't from on the Anglo-Saxons artcle. Thanks for the advice. Apologies for calling you a Vandal. I was just getting annoyed at the continuous editing which is not backed up. I am a well known historian on the Anglo-Saxons! No names. I work continuously on early histry and do not like what I know to be 19th Century Celtic V Saxon POV creeping in to an artcle. Why I gave up in other areas of Wikipedia. I will be making solid contributions to Wikipedia backed by citations. Others must do the same. Or artcles like Anglo Saxons descend into nonsense. Hope you understand. I will do my best to keep stuff in accordance with Wiki rules. But I will not be scared off from editing POV creep. Hope you agree. Cheers. Hartram 20:05, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, and I know how you feel! Good luck, and happy editing! Jmlk17 20:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh

Ah didn't realize that - you have to admit, it does look like typical vandalism. And who would've thought that the page titled Fecal Matter actually goes to that, rather than feces, first? Not I. You can delete this when you read itEunuchOmerta 22:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, the only reason I know is that I am a big fan of Nirvana :). Jmlk17 22:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you blocked this user earlier today and he is requesting a review. Personally I'm good with the length and the readability of his name, what do you think (I don't want to unblock him without consulting you first)? -- lucasbfr talk 13:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. I would (and do) say no, just because of the length alone. 33 characters is quite a lot in my opinion. Jmlk17 00:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User:Sasalap and Czechoslovakian/Slovakian ice hockey players

Hi! I noticed you spoke to this user previously about changing the birthplace of (particularly) ice hockey players. I'm not an expert in the subject, and wondered if you had any advice/opinion, as Sasalap seems to be on a mission to change (revert?) many articles to read "Slovakia" again today. I'm reluctant to mass revert unilaterally. Thanks! --kateshortforbob 12:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to sort out the issue with him currently :). Hopefully, we can all avoid an issue or a revert war! Thanks for the heads up. Jmlk17 13:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Coach

I would like you to be my Admin Coach. --MacMad (talk · contribs)  14:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see from your edits you have only about 300+ edits. Now, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but I honestly don't see you as ready for an admin coach at this time. I would recommend adoption first, then we can do coaching later on down the road. Jmlk17 14:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Barnstar

Oh, my friend, did I really manage to beat you out sometimes? Glad you don't hate me then :P

On a more serious note, though, that was such a sweet thing to say, and it is questionable whether I deserve such gift and kind words. Can I just tell you that you are a first rate administrator who I think blocks and reverts faster than a cheetah ? =) Thank you, dear, for the barnstar. The pleasure is mine indeed. I hope all is going well. Take care, PeaceNT 07:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RFA

Well considering the fact that most of the editors opposed on my last RFA because I self-nominated too quickly, I think I should wait for at least another month before trying again. So maybe sometime late September at the earliest. Were you planning to nominate me or something? --Hdt83 Chat 07:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, don't have an admin coach. Are you available to coach? --Hdt83 Chat 07:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I never knew that you coached Trusilver. I would feel privileged to be coached by someone like you :). So can you coach me? --Hdt83 Chat 10:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would be honored :). Jmlk17 10:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore the Dvar article

It was deleted then because it was bad quality and short but i made it better and the deleting administrator from then didn't say it should be deleted now, and i told him it was re-written. M.V.E.i. 10:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it, and honestly, it looks pretty much the same. Nothing but fancruft, and links to Russian language fansites. Jmlk17 10:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please restore it i personaly think it's exelent. Russian fan-sites are ok as long as they have the matirial and are reliable, Russian administrators can check it. Please restore. M.V.E.i. 10:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. It may be better on the Russian Wikipedia instead. Jmlk17 10:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It could be on both because they dont create it in Russia. There is now law that the English Wikiedia should have only information from English-speaking countries. Please restore it it's importent to have an article about them. I'm not their fan, but i just know how big they are in the Russian goth scene. If you wont restore it and nomanie it for deletion. Let the editors decide if they belive it has place to be or not. M.V.E.i. 10:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was nominated for deletion, and consensus was for deletion. And no, it's not important to have an article on a non-important band. Jmlk17 10:17, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Then it was a 5 line article without an infobox and history section and where the discography was written messy. They are an importent band on the Russian goth scene. As i said i'm not their fan but yet even i understood that an article on them is needed. Again, please restore it and nominate it for deletion. Let the editors decide. I wouldn't insist on it so much if they weren't importent. its not about it being my article, when National Bolshevik Party USA was deleted and it was created by me i didn't insist that much, and same thing about National Bolshevik Party of Israel which i didn't create but wrote the most. Dvar is really importent. M.V.E.i. 10:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No M.V., they really aren't; notability is what is key. Jmlk17 10:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BUT THEY ARE. They are one of the most importent Russian goth bands i tell you again, they were even included in this compilation released. Let the editors decide if they are notable or not. M.V.E.i. 10:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No. I have researched myself, and found nothing. It was deleted...4 times. I fail to find anything notable about them. I am more than accommodating, but this goes beyond. Jmlk17 10:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I said that their at the Russian scene that's why the sites are Russian. Whats your problem to let the other editors decide?? If it's really that not notable they will just vote for it's deletion. M.V.E.i. 10:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was already decided. The article was restored/recreated before and nothing came of it. No. Jmlk17 10:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was a new user and wasn't good in making articles. The article that was restored and deleted then was a five-line really bad article. Now i made it defferent and better. Please restore and if you want nominate for deletion. M.V.E.i. 10:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry buddy; no. Jmlk17 10:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are not the boss to decide. M.V.E.i. 11:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. Jmlk17 11:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I would rather find a different solution to this situation, to avoid further canvassing issues as with other AfD's you have participated in. Jmlk17 11:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah right. "Solution" will be to upload the article and to let the other wikipedians decide. dont invilve the White Stereotypes here. I want "canvassing" but brought those who participated in the writing of the article. M.V.E.i. 14:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to lie. I'm done with this conversation here. You have attacked me elsewhere, and I am done with that. Jmlk17 22:26, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are bang on the money - what is this world coming to, where ambulances take 20 minutes to get places? I'm hanging onto my burst Aorta over here, and I can't hold on much longer. :P -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, don't try New York! Might take 3 hours-plus. Jmlk17 10:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is that a real figure? Here, an ambulance could be trusted to arrive quite quickly... -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 10:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, heard both, and have found sources on both. Early rap artists (I'm talking late 80's, early 90's) have lyrics about waiting for 911 care for hours. Of course, that's LA, New York City, St. Louis, and the list of enormous American metropolitan areas. Jmlk17 10:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. Here, the hospitals are where the problems are. This guy died in the waiting room near where I live recently. Apparently, he needed fast help, but he had been waiting for 6 hours... -- Anonymous Dissident;Talk 10:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh man, don't even get me started on health care systems!  :) I've lived in a town of 20,000, a metropolitan suburb of DC, and a massive US Naval-based city. It just runs the gambit from decent, localized care, to "Wait, you got here three hours ago, and have a shattered leg? Well, here's an aspirin and please wait your turn." It's been a big f**king problem here for awhile :(. Jmlk17 10:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats terrible. Well, hopefully such issues will be resolved by government departments, decisive political motions, and other influential forces soon, and not only just in the USA or Australia, but the world at large... -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 10:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We can only hope! But beyond that, it's a good conversation starter ;). Your Rfa is looking pretty damn good right now man. Jmlk17 10:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:70.68.179.142, you will be blocked from editing. 70.68.179.142 11:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about, outsourced material?

Unsourced material. Just look at the info you had originally added. Jmlk17 11:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

Could you explain how the edits of IP 156.34.209.209 were vandalism? Clear edit summaries following the guidlines set by the Wikipedia music project. Reading the very civil discussion between the IP and the User who reported him might have helped as well. The user(me) was not vandalising Wikipedia. What made you think that they were? 156.34.213.233 11:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's quite obvious when you look at it :). Jmlk17 11:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, upon my own further review, I have made an error. I have left messages on the previous IP talk page. Jmlk17 12:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking a second look. I hate it when my name (range) gets besmirched :D. My buddy Admin Wiki-alf is taking a bit of a break. When he returns and finds out I actually got blocked... he will never let me hear the end of it. :D 156.34.213.233 12:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, no problem. It felt a little off, and I just went back through and double-checked. Sorry for the bother. Just curious; any reason why you don't create a username though? Jmlk17 12:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Funny, I've explained that to so many people now... I can just cut/paste a previous answer from a previous conversation :D.
I am a former logged in editor with over 20000 edits. But over half of my edits were warnings on IP user talk pages. I saw a growing "anti-IP" trend and felt this went against what Wiki was all about(despite my own seemingly "anti-anon" edits/warnings) I decided one IP ought to be noble and trustworthy... so I rejected my previous account and became an anon myself. Over 20000 anonymous edits later and I still feel "right" about what I did.
Wikipedia was built on anonymous contribution. When I am at work my IP is static. And that IP has numerous barnstars for anonymous contribution for what I have tried to accomplish. If had wanted "personal Wiki-glory"...and I don't... I'd start using my name again. But names are only good for those who feel they want to be an admin(a nomination i turned down 15 times). I admire anyone's dedication to the project that they would take on the 'wiki-headache' of accepting the mop. I just want to be an editor. And I can do that just as well from a number as I can from a "made-up" name. Again, thanks for clearing me and thanks for restoring my edits(although I would have done that eventually anyways :D ) Have a nice day! 156.34.213.233 12:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Black Sabbath change..

Hi!

You undid my change to the Black Sabbath page regarding the name of "Polka Tulk Blues Band / Company". So I'm curious. If I believe I'm right, how would I go about getting a change made permanent?

I started a thread in the discussion area of the Sabbath page.. Is this a step in the right direction?

I've never edited anything on Wikipedia before so I don't really know what the correct process is!

Thanks, Norm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.33.207 (talkcontribs) 06:23, September 2, 2007 (UTC)

I'm not atacking

You know after acting bossy and snobery about Dvar, at least thats how i saw that (all i asked is to return and nominate for deletion and let other Wikipedians decide), i dont think good of you. BUT, that stayes as by belief alone, and has nothing to do with what i said to you there. I said it numerous times to others i dont even know who i saw nominating good articles for deletion, or supporting that. So as you can see, it's nothing personal. It's just that i hate it that anyone without a real history on Wikipedia makes nice promises and gets chosen to be administrator. I belive that an administrator should be someone with a long history of articles creation, someone who understands the process from the inside. In that case, he will be more expirienced and could judge better on them. Those who usually delete many and nominate many for deletion are usually people without a real editing history (i go thru their Contribution section), those who dont understand what Working on Wikipedia means. For example (And i'm not talking about Dvar), a good article but without references. I always say to people there instead of supporting deletion, try to find them yourself don't be lazy help it. So it wasn't me against you pesonaly. Infact, i didn't notice when i first answered you that you are the same one. M.V.E.i. 21:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man, I'm not sure we're ever going to agree on this situation. I'm not an admin for certain reasons, but I am an admin for other, just as important reasons. But that's another issue/story at hand. I'm done with this conversation on the whole. Jmlk17 21:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I dont ask you to support thism just let Wikipedians decide. Look, if the article has more votes for deletion i will never try to re-create or re-write it again. M.V.E.i. 21:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
From the other hand, i've got to agree you are right on Dvar. M.V.E.i. 21:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry

Look in real life i'm really good to people. Forget about Dvar, maybe your right. And i dont really hate you. Just understand my nerves here. Dvar are not notable, when i think of it your right. BUT, i created more then 10 articles on some of the most important Russian rock bands. Bi-2, Piknik and Voskreseniye are legends in Russian music. And what? Nothing. I work alone, i need help but i dont get it and they stay low level. When i think of it now i really took it out on you without noticing (i never do that in real life), and i'm sorry because when i think of it you are right on Dvar. Just understand, i work alone. I would create a Russian rock WikiProject, but i dont know how. I would gather a team, but i dont know who. And it's a bad feeling. Anyway, sorry. Not your fault. M.V.E.i. 21:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man, an apology goes a long way :). How can I help M.V.? Jmlk17 21:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks but you cant :-) I already turned to the comission about WikiProjects but almost had no usefull responses, except one that told me to turn to WikiProject Russia. I now left a messege on the WikiProject Russia discussion page and i'll see where that goes. But thanks and again, sorry. M.V.E.i. 22:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, but thank-you. I think we should wait a few years with Dvar. If they'll menegge to stick in the Goth-scene till then, they should be here. But if no, then that really doesn't fit notability. In everything concerned with underground scenes we should check out to things: 1. Positive reviews from the scene fans in other countries (all the underground scenes are tied with each other). 2. Did they menege to stick to the status (and in underground one day a band can ba a cult one, and another forgoten and not known it existed). M.V.E.i. 22:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, but you nominated it anyway. Thanks. M.V.E.i. 22:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, doesn't hurt in the end. Let's see how the Afd goes, and then take it from there. Jmlk17 22:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, i said all i could there. I couldn't argue there with anybody because i really dont know whose more wrong or right in the argument on them. I will check the page tomorow to see if there are questions there. Thank you :-) M.V.E.i. 22:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right on. Looks good! :) Jmlk17 22:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both for Dvar and Bi-2 it goes good, and at the Bi-2 voting a guy said that he will do some research tonight to get more links. I think he's Russian because he underestands as i can see in Russian rock because he named another band there (so the article will be improved after all). I see a funny thing there. Bi-2 have 2 Keeps, and Dvar have 3. The funny thing is that Dvar is famous only in the Goth scene in Russia, and Bi-2 are a band that every Russian knows, and Dvar has more Keeps. I to tell you the truth was shure Dvar will have a 50%-50% split while Bi-2 will have like, 10 Keeps. M.V.E.i. 08:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ah sorry Bi-2 have 3 Keeps two, just one didnt type the Keep. M.V.E.i. 08:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good for both...going to make me feel bad for the whole conversation we had before lol. Looks real good though. Also, a good, solid Russian-English translation would be real good. Jmlk17 08:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually you dont have a reason to feel bad. As i said the artices realy are not the highest level and thats why someone who is not Russian seing them might say: "If they are so good their fans couldn't even make them a normal articles??". Anyway, now that you nominated them they are both going to get attention, and thanks to attention they are going to be improved. M.V.E.i. 08:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A called for someone who took part in the creation of Bi-2 (added discography information) here. I dont think it's considered convassing but if it is shure it could be deleted. M.V.E.i. 08:41, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dammit...got IPs mixed up. Thanks! Jmlk17 10:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, thanks for unblocking. Make sure you check when someone makes an AIV report, as this one was a case in point - removing a speedy deletion tag isn't vandalism, and the poor IP got given a very stern "last warning" template before anything else. I've had a word with the guy who reported it to AIV. Neil  10:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the username hardblock was a little hasty, please take some time to consider the unblock request at User talk:Todd J Gallagher. The text of the supposed attack article[3] is a bit too well written and playful to be an unsolicited personal attack. Not that I think that blurb should have remained as a Wikipedia article, but I don't think jumping the gun and using {{vandalblock}} was the best course of action. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a recommendation? Jmlk17 10:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
With your permission I'd like to modify the block and advise the user to register a new account. After that, I'll inform him of Wikipedia's autobiography/copyright guidelines and offer to work with him on a draft for a new article. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! You are more than welcome to :). Any admin is free to modify a block of mine :). Jmlk17 10:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider this permanent block, or indefinite block, or however it is phrased. The kid is a pest, but he hasn't done anything other than attempt to create an article about himself 3 or 4 times, and he appears, by writing it on his user page instead, to have resigned himself to not being able to do this. I think he can possibly be worked with, and should be given a single warning, not a full ban to start with. KP Botany 17:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What would you suggest? Jmlk17 21:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A warning not to recreate the article. I've offered to write it for him if he provides the sources, and you can suggest he do that, not necessarily with me, but by posting on the articles for creation requests. He might just abuse it, ultimately, and make more work for you, but in this case, as this is all he has done, albeit persistently, I would appreciate an attempt on your part to give him a chance--if he blows it, then I'll agree with permanently blocking as spam. KP Botany 21:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty...I'm going to direct him your way ;). I'll unblock. Jmlk17 21:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It's at least worth a try. KP Botany 21:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree...no problem :). Jmlk17 21:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

False Vandalism

You banned me for vandalism and I don't even know the last time i even posted anything on wikipedia so I have no idea what you thought I did that was vandalism. Let me know what I did because whatever you think I did is probably just a misunderstanding.

When did I do this? I see nothing in your block log, nor on your talk page. Jmlk17 05:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Verve Bar Deletion

Hi, thanks for reading - so far. I would like to request a review of your previous delete of Verve Bar WC2H 9NY because I think I could have changed the page to define the importance of a famous bar by Leceister Square, London. The Verve Bar 1000s of people a week and I feel it would be useful to many outsgoing people when searching. I'm not an employee of the Verve but I have been amazed by how classy, assuraing a quality night out, this venue is. Im new to Wiki so I could review my insert and improve the relevance. Please reconsider. Thanks very much.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjh89 (talkcontribs) 03:00, September 4, 2007 (UTC)

I checked it out, and I'm going to have to disagree. The bar is not notable for one, and it reads like an ad for another. Sorry. Jmlk17 09:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

Hello :-) I would like to know how long the nomination for deletion template is going to be in the Dvar article and in the Bi-2 article. Is it a certain time period that it stays there or a certain number of people that have to vote? If you could please tell me that about the stereotypes of whites article (i know you havent nominated it but maybe for administrators it's written how long). Thank you. M.V.E.i. 14:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey buddy. The process is usually about five days, sometimes less for obvious keeps or deletes, and sometimes longer for heated debates. Jmlk17 22:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jmlk17! Must be the season for it! Ryan kind of intimated that it might be a good idea. I was sort of waiting until mid September to alow three months since my last RfA. I had an offer a while back. Where you asking as you think it's a good idea to go again? Pedro |  Chat  09:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're a star. I think I'll wait a couple of weeks, leaving three months out of respect for the RfA process. I'll let User:Husond know that you're interested in a co-nom. It's very flattering to get so many respected admins and editors offering to nominate / support. Pedro |  Chat  09:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Username Concern

I'm not that familiar with all aspects of wikipedia, but if you know your way around, you will see that there was one admin a few months back who seemed to have something against my username, but took everything back and apologized for making an unfair and unfounded decision. But this is just a side note.

When i was signing up with wikipedia, I was frustrated over the fact that any username i could use was already taken, I tried anything that made any sense to me, but nothing seemed to have been available. I then started pulling random thing out of my hat and still none of them worked, until this one went through... I'm not particularly fond of it, but I have the same username on ebay, and other high rank websites and wikipedia seems to be the only place where admins keep finding something about it. It almost seems like admins here strive to brown nose or something... But this is just a side note #2

I'll have no problem whatsoever with the username change, for as long as it's not kji4kyuj5kx^%$ or iGJI64cio65fdfcr^V95 or vT*4e54ri967V(^%dco9v6tb0 or other sequence of random characters of some sort.

That being said, I really don't know my way around very well. How do i go about a name change? Or can you do that for me?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Unclefecker (talkcontribs) 17:02, September 8, 2007 (UTC)
