Recent Assessments
First, I would like to thank you for your enthusiasm is helping us review articles. Second, there is significant WP:COI in reviewing an article which you are, by your own user page, directly interested in. I have looked at your reviews and while corect in content, they overestimate the quality of these articles. Feel free to have a look at the articles that have gotten Start ratings. Once again, Thanks for your enthusiasm. Adam McCormick 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help. I can understand your concern about WP:COI, though please note that I have not done any significant editing or alteration to these articles yet, that is the "next stage". Once I do start editing these articles more, I will request a review instead. As you might have guessed I am new at assessments, but we all have to start somewhere, so thanks again for your help. Camaron1 | Chris 22:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to schools
I thought I'd also offer the hand of welcome. I was worried that all the "criticism" youd received might have been taken personally. Pleased to see you are adding assessments. Ive set myself the task of trying to do all the schools that begin with C ... its a big task ... help if you like. Pleased to see what youve done.. please to see more Victuallers 18:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind thoughts, I have received a bit of criticism but I took it as advice and not personally. I am glad you like my assessments, yours are great too. Good luck with your work, I will try and offer a helping hand when ever I can. Cheers! Camaron1 | Chris 19:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
A Rating for Lethbridge Collegiate Institute
When you get a chance plaese let us know if you agree with giving this article an A rating. It is already GA. Adam McCormick 03:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Commented, thanks! Camaron1 | Chris 20:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- So you dissagree with an A rating? Adam McCormick 01:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, I made a mistake when commenting. I have now corrected this, sorry for the confusion! Camaron1 | Chris 15:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- So you dissagree with an A rating? Adam McCormick 01:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Appreciate it. I have to admit that the tone of my edit summary wasn't appropriate though. It pops out every once in a while when I write anything, and while I don't often publish it onto Wikipedia, stuff like that do slip through on a handful of occasions. Cheers. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 16:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC) ╫

I award Camaron1 this barnstar for helping with the SimCity 4:Rush Hour merger. Without your help, it could've turned into a mess! — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 20:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC) |

Chris, thanks for reviewing The Preuss School UCSD, I thought it was useful to have someone else reassess. And can I be the first to congratulate you on your Barnstar. Well done! Victuallers 19:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

82.26.xxx.xxx Bandit
The 82.26.xxx.xxx Bandit is becoming a pain in the proverbial.
For instance I made an erroneous edit to Mayville High School in an attempt to revert the vandalism by 82.26.107.104 (contributions) that took place 06:15, 8 April 2007 to the page. It seems that the guerrilla tactics by the 82.26.xxx.xxx Bandit are causing a number of incidents of friendly fire. -- Drappel 18:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Signature
I would like to politely suggest that your signature color is a bit confusing. When I first saw it, I thought it was a Wikilink to a nonexistent article -- the standard red link :) -- LeCourT:C 01:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hounsdown School article
Apparently I have to talk to you about editing the Hounsdown School article. I was going to reword the quote from the website so the article sounds more neutral. Is that OK with you? NFreak007 16:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd love input on my proposal to move this template into the main banner. The only debate I forsee is that the assessment-specific template defaults to needing an infobox Adam McCormick 19:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the Barnstar you've awarded me. It was really a surprise to see it on my talkpage. I'm currently working on a re-design of my user page, but when it's done, I'll proudly put it on there. -Jort227 17:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Good Counsel
Hi Chris, welcome back... hope the exams went (are going?) well. Saw you have made some changes but intrigued to see a mid for Good Counsel College - maybe its the duplication thing but I couldnt find much at all.... just a minute. Inniskillen looks OK its the other one that has only a paragraph. That explains (I hope) why someone asked for an assessment. Victuallers 15:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the welcome back, my GCSE exams are over (last one was on 14 June), they did go reasonably well I hope!
- The duplicate articles are becoming quite difficult to deal with! I assessed both as Mid importance as the importance part of the assessment is in theory irrelevant of the article(s) and is about the school itself - so the importance of both should be the same. I choose Mid importance as one of the articles marks the school as quite important historically with some alumni, though I would not object to a re-assessment to low importance. Camaron1 | Chris 15:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for supporting my RfA, which closed successfully yesterday... W00t! I hope to be a great admin (and editor) and I'm sure you can tell that my use of a large, boldfaced, capital "T" and a big checkmark image in this generic "thank you" template that I swiped from some other user's Talk Page that I totally mean business! If you need anything in the future or if you see that I've done something incorrectly, please come to my Talk Page and let me know. So now I've got a bunch of reading to do.... see you around! - eo 13:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
RFA WithdrawalHiya. Thanks for you kind words. I had a lot of support out there, but it became clear that I wasn't as hot on policy as I thought - hence my withdrawl. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I was deelpy suprised by the breadth of support, but saddened by the oppose comments based on popularity - I note you even expanded your support to reject that idea!! I felt the popularity contest view to be slightly insulting to the editors who supported me, implying that they hadn't reviewed my answers or my contributions, which was clearly not the case. Once again, thanks for your support and kind comments. I hope to see you round the 'pedia! Pedro | Chat 13:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for updating the FAC description for Balboa High on WikiProject Schools. I really do appreciate the critical look from other editors.

Thanks...for your comments on the expansion of SimCity 4. Off the topic, there are a few edits which I have created by donating what I know, but may still not be enough to qualify as an article.

Response to WikiProject SOSHi, Camaron1. Thanks for your response! I've already started a project page for what we are calling the "Dyslexia" Wikiproject. It will cover Dyslexia and topics directly related to the disorder. We started as a group of editors using a "To Do" list at the top of the Dyslexia Talk page. It became clear pretty quickly that we would need a little more structure than the to-do list could provide. The topic has several issues that are controversial, and a number of them are country to country variances. At this point we have a very long article that we plan to break up into a series of articles, using Summary Style and a Navigation box to make the articles in the series obvious. I'd still like to get advice and guidance. Take a look at the Project Page and offer whatever suggestions you think of and have time to make: WikiProject Dyslexia. Thanks again, Rosmoran 21:40, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Citation TagsHi Camaron1 ! I noticed you flagged Twyford School as needing some citation tags on the ex pupils [1] If you check the references (note 1) you'll see all but Edwin H. Dodgson are in fact already cited by a secondary reference and are therefore verifiable. I will try and source a ref on the third (it is mentioned in the wikipedia article about Edwin Dodgson but obviously we can't cite ourselves!) but meantime I was wondering if you'd like to undo your requests for ciations as they are in fact already there. I'd do it myself but it's good to have other input! Thanks and happy editing! Pedro | Chat 19:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Naming of schoolsI have a feeling this school naming conventions proposal will never be resolved. In theory it ought to be simple, but in practice it's a real hornet's nest! Let's see what happens. I wasn't sure what to do about Australia. I understood that they preferred commas and most of the Australian schools I've come across use commas so it's difficult to find an example unless we change it to commas rather than parentheses. Have you tried getting any input from the new Education in Australia Wikiproject? Dahliarose 15:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, when I checked through his edit history it was pretty clear to me that he'd somehow flown under the radar and deserved no mercy.

Crowlees Junior and Infant SchoolHi, thank you for your support at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crowlees Junior and Infant School. I have now substantially expanded and sourced up the article to justify a standalone existence.

Melissa Fay Greene entryHi Camaron, I just heard from you about my new page, which I appreciate very much as I'm a first-time Wiki contributor. Does Wikipedia prefer internal links to external links? I've chosen some external links when a reference (for example "NPR") can, with an external link, carry the reader to an NPR story BY Melissa Fay Greene rather than to a Wiki entry on NPR in general. Another example is to the National Book Award website which lists Greene as a finalist rather than to a Wiki page about the National Book Awards. I'm happy to follow your preferences. Thanks again, Melissa —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfgreene1 (talk • contribs) 16:13, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping the 2008 page up-to-date, I know I started it and planned to help a lot with it but I've been a bit busy recently.

I have seen that the Sweden 08 page is up-to-date also. If we start early we'll have accurate, well-written articles ready for May 08. I will try to play as much of a part in this as I can.

Arnold Murray PageYou protected the wrong page, this person and another started changing it on 10 Dec 2007. Previous to that, the page has been unchanged for a long time. Anon '208.127.154.159' and now 'Crusader777', gutted the article and references to other articles, like the one on 'roy gillaspie' were also gutted. By protecting the wrong article, there is no dispute, they are happy to have the gutted, 'sanitized' version up on wikipedia. That is why the donations are so low, so many personal agendas here. Tss8071 (talk) 13:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, well, that did not last long, 12 hours by my count and the same users went back and gutted the article again of any negative content. What is the next step?Tss8071 (talk) 02:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Cluebot caught some of the vandalism and reverted it but all they did was go back and re-gut the article. Under wiki policies what is done next? Gutting articles like this falls under vandalism, not editing.Tss8071 (talk) 03:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC) So, what they did is realize cluebot reverts the article if too much is cut out at one time, so, they are removing any negative content, a piece at a time. The same people are doing thisas before, when the edit war started (or one person with 2 or 3 accounts). One year of work, with contributions from many people, wiped out in minutes. Thanks anyway.Tss8071 (talk) 11:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I uploaded the license of Arnold Murray to wikipedia and updated the links. However, I am not sure I did the copyright correctly. The copyright categories seem rather odd. The license, as noted, is from the Benton County, AR Clerk's Office and no copyright applies, it is public record. Can you check it and make sure it is correct? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tss8071 (talk • contribs) 13:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have the IP 69.11.88.137. I have no idea who Tss8071 is and I am not a sock puppet account. Please remove that designation from my IP, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.11.88.137 (talk) 22:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Belated......Happy Christmas, New Year and congratulations and thanks on your award to me! Good luck with the mop, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you need some guidance in the early days... But well done, you deserved it! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR
Just as a courtesy, I feel you were a little bit heavy handed in a six month block. I had already commented to WP:AIV that this user had not been given any kind of warning before being sent to AIV. While I certainly appreciate swift justice for vandals going back to their old games only days after returning from a block, should they not at least get one warning...per policy? Trusilver (talk) 20:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for a swift responseThanks very much for a quick response on my AIV submission of 204.248.123.2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). Nice to know that there are people watching the boards regularly, keeping the vandals down. Keep up the good work. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

thxHi Chris, I'm warmed by your notice. Thanks. Rollback tools look useful. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 16:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
SockYou're welcome, glad to help! The sockpuppetry was obvious, as was the harassment and abuse of editing privileges. Let me know if you have any further issues with this one. Dreadstar † 20:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC) HelloSong Duk-ki It is POV pushing version. You keep Wrong version. please, rever this. and keep Based on FACT version. Manacpowers (talk) 20:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Dispute is not exist. What is the dispute? He is a POV pusher. Manacpowers (talk) 21:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC) This is reason that i think RogueNinja is a POV pusher. for example, 1. His arts became the basis of the original form of Taekwondo. -> he changed this sentence like this, Later, his style helped inspire Taekwondo. 2. thus clearly distinguishing Taekwondo from the Japanese karate. -> He deleted this sentence. 3. He major delete imortant article. At that time 14 terms of techniques were used, representing 5 kicking patterns, 4 hand techniques, 3 pushing-down-the-heel patterns, one turning-over kick pattern and 1 technique of downing-the-whole-body. Also noteworthy is the use the term "poom" which signified a face-to-face stance preparing for a fight. The masters of Taekkyondo were also under constant threat of imprisonment, which resulted in an eventual of Taekkyondo as popular games. This is important article. It is cleary Karate JPOV pushing edit.(he try to hide TKD influenced by tekkyon) not english matter.(it is an ostensible reason) Plase, check my edit from reference source. my edit based on fact. his changing is not based on fact. also he did not offer counterpart source or FACT.Manacpowers (talk) 21:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
RfA ThanksHi Camaron - thanks for your participation in my request for adminship. It passed 52/0/0, and I'm now in possession of a shiny new mop (and pleased to join you as a member of the Admin class of January 2008). If I can ever help you with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 09:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Rudget!Dear Camaron, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 16:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Renaming of schoolsCongratulations on being made an admin. I would have voted for you if I'd known you were going to stand. I wonder if you might be able to help. There is an editor who has started a mass re-naming of schools. A number of English schools have been affected. There does not appear to have been any discussion and in view of the fact that the naming conventions policy had no consensus there seems to be no rationale for moving them. I'm now not sure of the procedure to move them all back again. Is it something you might be able to help with. You will be able to pick them up at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WikiProject Schools articles by quality log. The editor has already had a few comments on his talk page but you might like to keep an eye on the situation. Dahliarose (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

QuestionIf I were to copy the protect code from a page and apply it to, say my page, would it still protect the page, even though I'm not an admin? Just curious. Dustitalk 19:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Question for youHi Camaron, thank you for closing the WP:AfD on Hidden Valley High School (Grants Pass, Oregon) - My question is as follows, while I've participated in many of these AfD discussions, I've never really come across this particular scenario - what happens if the nominator (myself) realizes after the fact that the nomination is not appropriate - is there a non-administrator way of closing the debate? If so, how exactly does one do that? Thank you again. Cheers! Wisdom89 (talk) 21:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
History deletion on school AFDWhen the consensus is to delete outright or if there is no mergeable content, I usually delete the history before placing a redirect. In this case, there was no mergeable content. Go on and undelete the history if you want; however, I generally wait until someone has reliable sources and tries to recreate the page with an assertion of notability before doing that. --Coredesat 23:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Re: Opps!No problem, Grawp decided to spam this link on 4chan tonight... you know the rest of the story... :-D east.718 at 12:07, February 3, 2008 Camaron, thank you very much for giving me this advice, and I'm really sorry about rating it to a higher grade without comment and contacting with other users. I won't do anythiing like that anymore. Thank you and happy Chinese new year. Gon-Hsi-Fa-Tsai Demic1210 (talk) 09:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Editor ReviewCould you please comment on my Editor Review? I trust that you will be honest on how you think I have been performing here at Wikipedia. Thanks a lot! Happy Editing, Dustitalk 19:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
To CamaronThank you very much, Camaron. I'm just a senior high school student, and a new user of Wikipedia. I'm glad to learn something of it from you. I like to share my experience of editing Wikipedia with my friends and classmates although I'm busy with the study in my school. Happy Chinese new Year.

for info. dyk
I agree with your Barnstar! We need more like this Victuallers (talk) 16:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Re:Paul WightDon't worry about it. If the vandalism does heat up, then there would be need for protection, but when anon vandalism/good contribs are about 50/50, we should leave it unprotected. That same situation has happened to me once also (protecting the article, going to put a note of it on the WP:RFPP page, and finding that another editor denied it =]). Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 16:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I believe it is convention that "fan translations" – unofficial ones – are not permitted on Wikipedia and that it's "Japanese or no English at all." Other party claims that it's the official Japanese titel but I doubt that; stuff gets translated and the precise title isn't always the one used in Japan. I know that protection is not an endorsement of the current version, though. hbdragon88 (talk) 00:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
My Recent EditsCan you take a look at my recent closings of AFD conversations and tell me if you agree with what I did. I stopped closing some past convo's and thought maybe I should ask you what you think of my current status with it. Thanks and please let me know here. Thanks and Happy Editing, Dustitalk to me 18:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC) |
