Watch User Rtphokie

Could you watch User: Rtphokie. He recently put up a maintance tag on stations KUZZ, KKBB, and KLLY for the same stuff that you undid for what User: Rtphokie has taken off. Please watch him. I kind of feel like there's nothing wrong with that stuff, having something on a radio site that says airstaff and who holds down the stuff. User: Rtphokie seems like someone who's too perfect.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:41, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

WikiThanks

Say Thank you to somebody for doing his 'work'? Sure, thank you Sebastian scha. (talk) 18:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you're talking about... but you're welcome (?) JPG-GR (talk) 18:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Your page moving. Just a little 'thank you' for your work on the backlog. Sebastian scha. (talk) 18:15, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I find it entertaining that I take a week off and no one steps up to do any of it. Oh well. JPG-GR (talk) 18:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Second look

After a second look at Talk:Primera_División_de_España#Requested_move, would you mind if I moved the page back? Not a massive deal either way, but anyhow... Thanks! Knepflerle (talk) 11:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Silly me, engage brain before keyboard! You didn't move it, you just took the RM template off. Sorry for bothering you, all the best, Knepflerle (talk) 11:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

The page was moved by User:C-3PO who made their first edit this morning but has just moved a raft of pages whose discussions were only a couple of days old. Slightly unusual behaviour... might be worth a close eye and a quick word to explain how RM normally works. Knepflerle (talk) 11:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Pine Hills, California article

I am not sure how I made an error in listing the request. Can you look at my edit history around the request and give me direct detail as to how I can correct the request? Thank you. Norcalal 06:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I believe I have corrected the areas necessary. Please advise if I missed something. Thank you. Norcalal 07:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Admin

Hey. I see you a lot at Wikipedia:Requested moves, though I don't really do anything there myself, and was quite shocked to see you weren't an admin. I'd like to nominate you for adminship at WP:RFA if you're interested; let me know. Wizardman 19:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

As you are, I believe, the third such person to make a similar comment in as many months, I will take the offer under serious consideration. However, it should be noted - I do much more cleanup/"admin"-related stuff than I do actual content writing, so I suspect that may be an issue (I lurk once or twice a week in the WP:RFA realm, and know how that goes...). Give me maybe 48 hours or so to ponder. :) JPG-GR (talk) 20:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Alright. It's been 48 hours and I'm still impressed with your contribs. So how about it? :) Wizardman 16:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, why not? What could be the harm. A request though - can we not start the official process until Sunday? I'm on vacation next week (which means away from work, not away from home) and I should have a more "regular" availability to answer questions/take a beating. ^_^ JPG-GR (talk) 16:26, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

That's not a problem. I'll be on sparingly until Sunday myself, so I'll write up the nom, you just get to the questions when you're ready. Wizardman 18:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Airstaff Schedules and other things

Alright, I am tired of you guys deleting airstaff lineups and past personalities section of radio station pages, ESPECIALLY YOU!. I am fed up with every single time i go and edit something you got to go and take it off. For example, back in August on the WYCD, WDTW-FM, WKQI and KBWF pages i put a past personalities page on it, somethig historical about the stations history of jocks, but do you keep it up, no. I read something on here that said it is fine if it is historical or something like that, But you still take it off. I dont give a damn if wikipedia allows it, it should be up there. As for radio station lineups being on the page, i think they should. it is stupid to not have them on. As i have said many times before. THE DJ'S ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A RADIO STATION, WHETHER THEY ARE FROM THE PAST OR PRESENT. but you just don't get it do you. Keep these lineups up on wikipedia. i see no reason as to why they can not be on. And don't give me that crap that it is because of promoting a station. IT IS NOT. you are just listing who works at the station. It is no diffrent than listing TV shows on the tv channel pages. and they seem to allow that. Besides if these were up. it would be great for certain people who want to look ata stations past and that also means past DJ's. To top it all off. i saw you deleted the station ratings section on KBWF, for what frickin' reason, what excuse can you come up with now. I have had those up on pages for well over a year, almost two and your, for some reason taking them down! I have had it with you and all the other people taking off stuff, that could be very useful to a radio page. What is the point of having anyone come in and add things to a page, when they are just gonna be deleted by you!

My request was complete according to instructions.

The instructions at WP:RM#Requesting potentially controversial moves clearly do not mandate its use. If administrators view it as mandatory, the wording should be changed.

I have used the template per your request however.

--Rogerb67 (talk) 22:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Err, use of {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} that is. Sorry about the tone of my first response; I was a bit miffed because I had tried very hard (and in fact succeeded as far as I can see from the instructions actually presented to first-time requesters) to do this right. Can I move my proposal back down now or is it stuck in "incomplete" limbo for whatever time period? --Rogerb67 (talk) 23:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The proposal is complete now, yes. JPG-GR (talk) 23:35, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

hello JPG-GR

Please remove my request comment under the Incomplete and Contested Proposals. I am requesting a full move for the List of Canadians of Asian ancestry Article. I have posted my request in the Other Proposals. Sonic99 (talk) 02:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

JPG-GR, I want to a post a notice about the Discussion to support or oppose the full move at the top of the List of Canadians of Asian ancestry Article, so every editor can see it. Can you please tell me what I should add at the top of the article? Sonic99 (talk) 04:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there is no such template. By editing the talkpage, you have already alerted everyone that has the page on their watchlist. Beyond that, there's not much else you can do. JPG-GR (talk) 04:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Tell me How to report vandalism

Tell me how to report vandalism. I don't like what User: Joemama993 said on my talk page. I'm trying to work with him, but he's not (paticent/misspelled) or something. Need to report him. You can go to my talk page to see what he said for yourself, if you want to report him for that. Just wanted to let you know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 02:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Short of requesting that he not post on your talk page, there's not much official you can do until he starts violating policies. JPG-GR (talk) 03:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Could I put that edit in on WP WPRS for introductions

I was wondering if I could put that edit in then under introductions, so that it would be considered o.k.?--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Radio

I do apoligize for the stuff I said about wikipedia and you, I just got mad about what you guys are doing to these pages, because it does take a long time to figure stuff out to put on these pages. In a very strange way it is almost like dectective work, trying to figure out where everything or in this case everyone goes. One thing though that stil don't get is, why are they taking down the stations prievious arbitron ratings. Maybe you could shed some light on this subject as to why they took it off of the WYCD page. Again I am sorry for what I wrote before. I was just pretty upset about this. No hard feelings?

Thanks Again

Stations Ratings Question

I got a message from someone who said that if you put the ratigs into prose, it would be accepted. Now i know we can't have a list like it was prievoisly like, but how would you write it into prose.

Would you write it like this

Summer 2008 Phase II Arbitron Rating: #1 (5.2)

Is it okay to write it like that, i really have no idea

Thanks and again I do apoligize for what i said a few days ago

re Li romans d'Alixandre

I noticed that you classified the discussion of the requested move of Li romans d'Alixandre to Roman d'Alexandre as "no consensus". I am not sure that that is entirely accurate. While there is a comment by Srnec about the confusing nature of the topic (and discussion of the French wiki link topic), there are, in fact, no comments specifically against the requested move. The Roman d'Alexandre is a particularly specialized topic that isn't likely to get a lot of wiki visits, but (as I comment in the move request) all the critical works published today on the specific text this article covers (Bernay's compilation/composition) use "Roman d'Alexandre". Must the requested move really be tabled? If the French wikipage fr:Roman d'Alexandre directs in English to the general discussion of the whole of the Alexander Romance problem, do you think an article title like "Roman d'Alexandre (work)" might be used? Or perhaps we might rename the general title "Alexander Romance texts"? - NYArtsnWords (talk) 13:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I interpreted Srnec's comment as somewhat of an oppose, and with no other input I felt "no consensus" was the only choice. I would recommend inquiring at any applicable Wikiprojects for more input. If you can find some, and there is support for your position, there would likely be no issue re-proposing the request and making it happen. JPG-GR (talk) 01:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Non-free image in the lead?

Hi, JPG-GR ! I believe that Image:QEQM 100th birthday.jpg would be perfect for this article, since it depicts the only woman who used the title of Queen Mother at the point of her life when she used the title, but many users would rather have a free-image of a woman who was never styled Queen Mother. Is it allowed to use non-free image in the lead? Surtsicna (talk) 16:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Could you please answer my question or tell me who can answer my question? Thank you. Surtsicna (talk) 19:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:Db-histmerge

Hi, I've reverted your edit to {{db-histmerge}}. The "{{{category|...}}}" markup is there for a reason: it's used to display the template on pages like Wikipedia:Template messages/Deletion without categorizing them in Category:History merge for speedy deletion. Did you have a particular reason for removing it? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess I'm more curious why the template isn't categorizing them in Category:History merge for speedy deletion, as I recall it used to. How else are articles tagged with this supposed to be categorized/found? Surely articles tagged with this template being categorized currently is more important than pages it's used to demonstrate it's display. (See Category:Main pages with misplaced talk page templates for a category/template with the same issue). JPG-GR (talk) 19:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Heck, the documentation even says "This template places the page in Category:History merge for speedy deletion." I have switched it back. It's not perfect, but there's no point in having the template if it doesn't even do it's intended purpose. JPG-GR (talk) 19:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

(ec)But it is categorizing them (or rather, it, there being only one article it's currently used on) in the category, unless it's transcluded with the parameter "category=" which disables the categorization. I'm not sure what "issue" you're talking about. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Then what would be the proper syntax to use to put pages tagged with this template in said category? It should be added to the documentation. With the {{cl}} template in place, articles tagged with that template aren't being categorized anywhere. JPG-GR (talk) 19:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Um... yes they are. (And what "{{cl}} template"?) We seem to be talking past each other here, but I'm not sure where the disconnect is. Is the fact that Category:History merge for speedy deletion is a hidden category perhaps confusing you? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Confusing to me? Noooo... if I had known it was one of them. whoops. Apparently, I'm cooking some eggs here. Can I get you anything? :) JPG-GR (talk) 19:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

It's okay, I'm just glad it's all cleared up now and that that template wasn't really broken after all. :) Anyway, I've added a note to the documentation page to hopefully reduce the confusion. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Decolonization of Africa

Hi JPG-GR! I've seen you doing a lot of work at WP:Requested moves—I've been lurking there recently. I noticed that you closed the requested move, Decolonization of Africa→Decolonisation of Africa, as no consensus, and would like to ask why. It may be that I am unfamiliar with the process, but there were 5 people in support of the move and only 1 oppose (with questionable reasoning, no less). How is that construed as no consensus? Many other things get moved with less margin than that. Thanks! Maedin\^talk 06:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a democracy, so the number of supporters and opposers is irrelevant. Taking the recent discussion into account with the newer discussion and the sparse amount of supporting evidence, no consensus seemed the only option. JPG-GR (talk) 06:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'll accept that, although I disagree that supporting evidence was sparse. Regards, Maedin\^talk 07:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:RM

Heya, I've re-added the requested move for Bill O'Reilly (commentator) → Bill O'Reilly (political commentator) and removed the old request that brought about a discussion that resulted in a consensus for the move. Sorry I didn't notice the old one at the bottom. Thanks! //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 01:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

And, I've once again reverted. Re-adding the request at the top is just gonna put it through another (minimum) five-day discussion period. If consensus has been reached, there's nothing to do but wait for it to be moved. JPG-GR (talk) 02:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah OK I can provide that, although when we had our last discussion and I suggested some modifications to the instructions, you said that "if the instructions are followed, no modifications to a proposal moved to the incomplete section is required"; this appears to mean that statement isn't true when uncontested proposals are moved there. --Rogerb67 (talk) 10:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I reverted the airstaff page back to what it was before JoJo995 changed it. I think it's the user who was Joemama993. He blanked his page and I wasn't sure what happen to him. Need to report him for vandalism or something, if he's going to change it. It's reverted back to a prose.--JoeCool950 (talk) 20:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Prose

What does it exactly mean by setting something to prose, for example with the arbitron ratings. how would you do it.

like this

Summer 2008 Arbitron Rating: #1 (5.9)

I dont really know and I am trying to figure it out.

No, the airstaff page that User: JoJo995 changed on us, I reverted it back to what Dravecky changed on WYCD that User: JoJo995 changed it to and you undid his edit because Wikipedia is not a directory. I reverted it back to the way User: Dravecky had it to, was all I was trying to say, to better explain, so that you are more aware and don't get suspicious.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, yes i am Joemama993. The reason why i changed my account was because, I made a big idiot of myself as Joemam993, with calling you and other wikipedians screwed up. I really did not mean it, but i was mad that you guys kept getting rid of the stuff i made for the pages. So after i would ask you or someone else a question and either they would not get back to me or help. So i deceided to change everything. I don't know, what happens now that i do admit i have done the "Sock Puppetry" thing. but i am sorry. and just tryin to make the radio pages better.

I'm glad I brought that to your attention. I think User: JoJo995 and User: Joemama993 are the same people, which is clearly vandalism. I thought I'd bring that to your attention and maybe we should watch WYCD, in case he switches it back.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm a different Joe

I wanted to let you know that I'm a different Joe, so that you're not confused. I explained myself better. I reverted the airstaff page back to how it should be and left User: JoJo995 a message. Hopefully you saw that and I left an edit summary, so that you know what I did. Hopefully that helps, so that you don't get confused. I wanted to clairfy myself. I can tell you I won't blank my user page, I know what to do, if I want to change it, which I probably won't, unless I can think of a better Username that isn't being used yet, but did want to clairfy myself that I'm not the same Joe who blanked their userpage, in case you were wondering earlier. Just wanted to make you sure you knew and give you a heads up that the airstaff page was reverted from back and it's not what User: JoJo995 put up. It's worded into a pose, how it should be.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I did though read the stuff about Sockpuppetry, just because I was curious. Ignore what I wrote under where it says Prose. I thought that was you responding, when it was User: Joemama993 responding. I'm just glad you reported him. I've read how you guys want the radio pages, and will clearly make sure that they are written that way, just to let you know.--

We determine consensus through discussion, not voting.

I started a discussion section entitled "So, do we have consensus?" You closed that discussion with the comment, "We determine consensus through discussion, not voting". I'm confused. If we determine consensus through discussion, why close discussion? I realize the voting does not determine consensus, but it is traditionally a major factor (probably the major factor) in controversial move decisions. When 50 votes are involved, intermixed with comment sections of various length, in can be difficult to get a feel for where consensus lies. So a tally is helpful. In fact, every city move I am aware of in the last few years (either to "name only" or to "disambiguation", such as Cork (city), to pick a non-U.S. example from a while ago) has happened after voting and discussion in which there was still disagreement at the end. Anyway, the point could have been made without closing the discussion. Thanks. --Serge (talk) 15:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Voting has nothing to do with consensus. A discussion was going on about the consensus itself which is not only a waste of time but a distraction for people who have yet to weigh in. Let's keep the discussion to the proposal at hand and not the discussion itself. JPG-GR (talk) 15:20, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, well that last sentence in particular is very compelling. Good point, and thanks for all your hard work. --Serge (talk) 15:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

By the way, the last new person to weigh in was the one identified only by IP address from two days ago. The one before that was another day earlier. The latest "vote" (and comment) from today was from a user who already voted (and commented) about a week ago. --Serge (talk) 15:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

So? It's kind of hard to have a discussion if people are only allowed to weigh in once. How many times have you commented in the discussion? Please extend the courtesy to discuss openly and freely to all fellow editors. JPG-GR (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

You're the one who referred to "people who have yet to weigh in" which is what I meant by new persons. And who is not allowing others to weigh in? Certainly not me. But, this proposal has over 50 people who have weighed in already and is the only one (besides the arguably related Boston) in the backlog... So I'm not sure why it remains in the backlog. --Serge (talk) 21:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Because discussion is still ongoing. JPG-GR (talk) 06:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, discussion is still ongoing at Talk:Public house where you just closed the discussion, creating an edit conflict for someone (me) who was in the middle of posting. That proposal was created on 10/18 and closed on 10/23, literally mid-discussion. And the arguments made against that move were blatantly in violation of Wikipedia naming conventions, but they never-the-less prevailed (at least so far). Meanwhile, the U.S. city move poll has been open since 10/17 and still has not been closed, despite the consensus that clearly exists. I am confused about how you make these decisions about where discussions are "still ongoing". Thanks. --Serge (talk) 23:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, the two move requests you have mentioned have nothing to do with each other, other than the fact that (a) they are move requests (which I monitor) and (b) you are involved in both. Any attempt to compare their duration is comparing apples and oranges.

As for the discussion on Public house, only two editors have been discussing back and forth since the 19th and are no closer to a consensus than before.

As for WP:NC:CITY, the discussion is still ongoing, if for no other reason than that the proposal hasn't been closed with a result yet. JPG-GR (talk) 23:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WKFRLogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WKFRLogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Improper move of Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio

You moved the article to J. M. G. Le Clézio based on just one vote! except the main suggestor Vol de nuit (talk · contribs) and Yobmod (talk · contribs). The discussion for move should have been given more time and you were too hasty. I request you to remove the article to the original because I'm opposing to the move, so there would be no consensus. No consensus is automatically "no move". Regards.--Caspian blue 23:11, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I based nothing upon "just one vote". I don't base anything on votes, as Wikipedia is not a democracy. JPG-GR (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

LA Direct Models

Hi. May I ask why you speedy deleted LA Direct Models? Thanks. Epbr123 (talk) 10:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

The article had links to two pieces of reliable, substantial, independent coverage, which I believe asserts notability per WP:N. Epbr123 (talk) 17:52, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

You will want to read Wikipedia:Notability before you proceed. JPG-GR (talk) 17:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

:Please Google AVIF for all reliable notability. I quote "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article".

Personal notability as Founder Trustee for transparency [5]

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive.
"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.[2]

Hi,

You've declined the speedy on this page as an "invalid CSD". I don't understand how putting a {{db-move}} on a copy-paste page move is an invalid application of G6. Can you correct this by deleting the page and moving Daniel O'Donnell (Irish singer) to that title? Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 21:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Invalid because you didn't specify why it was a CSD G6 - how was one suposed to know it was a copy/paste move? JPG-GR (talk) 06:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I goofed and missed the parameter from the template, but the edit summary was "speedy for incorrect page move" and the history indicates that it sprang fully-formed from one edit. So how's about that move? :) Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Artisian

Hello

Please can you explain why you deleted the entry for the band Artisian? It states that "Expired PROD, concern was: No reliable sources, no significant coverage, no releases on a notable label" but this band are still selling albums, still gigging and will be undertaking one tour with Napalm Death and another with Gorgoroth later this month. They have undertaken TV and radio interview both in the UK and in Europe and therefore, i see no reason why this page should have been deleted.

I agree, I would have thought - 3 albums on general release on 3 notable labels, Copro, Infernus Rex and Grindethic, all well known on the extreme metal world and touring Europe with 3 of the largest bands in the black metal genre DOES actually constitute - a reliable sources, with significant coverage, and releases on a notable label. who is this guy to remove an active band from this site anyway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.68.125.94 (talk) 11:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

No obligation to list at WP:RM

Hi there, you've just removed two move banners as they weren't listed at WP:RM. That page clearly states that there is no obligation to list there (in the intro section). I was planning to gauge the consensus first, then complete the final step of listing at RM. Hence I've undone your edits. The-Pope (talk) 00:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

You are correct that there is no obligation to log any move proposals at WP:RM. However, {{move}} catalogs all WP:RM move requests in a maintenance category.

I did not see anything wrong on my comment with this diff that you liked. Before commenting something to me, please check first. Besides, you missed a lot of personal attacks from the other. i don't know why you're doing this. Are you checking on my contributions?--Caspian blue 15:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Then, perhaps you should re-read WP:NPA. That comment is completely unwarranted and has nothing to do with content - you are attacking the contributor, even if you're trying to do it in a way that you hope no one notices. JPG-GR (talk) 17:29, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Again, I reconfirm your judgment in your above comment after your previous absurd RM. Why don't you acknowledge WP:NPA before completely unwarranted lecturing? Several people said to Tenmei with the similar comment as me[8] and it is not what you think is. That is a simple fact. Please do not make a false WP:POINT. The person made a hoax report on me that I "hijacked the RFC" and he still makes various personal attacks on the page, but you picked up the fact that you want to falsely accuse of. Besides, falsely accusing others constitutes harassment. Please get over the RFA.--Caspian blue 21:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Barring the fact that I cannot comprehend half of your comment (RM = WP:RM?), your comment was still a comment on an editor, rather than on their contributions. I'd recommend that you stick to editing the encyclopedia. JPG-GR (talk) 21:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Sadly, I don't understand your point and accusation at all. My comment has nothing to do with your narrowed definition. Please re-read WP:NPA and stick to five pillars of Wikipedia. --Caspian blue 21:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, it's impolite to edit your comments after they've been replied to - it has the potential for more confusion in the future. Secondly, if you don't see your comment as being a violation of WP:NPA, perhaps you should stop recommending others read it before you re-read it. Finally, to which RfA are you referring? Regardless, you've already blown what was a simple recommendation way out of proportion, so I consider this subject closed. JPG-GR (talk) 06:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Move request of TS Michelangelo and TS Raffaello

About these page moves I requested... I had misplaced them under the wrong heading on the requested moves page; I should have placed them under "uncontroversial proposals", but got confused due to the fact no (other) proposals were listed in that section. As far as I can see these is no possible controversy attached to the move proposals. Therefore, would it be possible to retroactively move them under uncontroversial, or do we have to go though all the moves because of my oversight?

I tagged the image for speedy deletion under CSD 16 but you rightly pointed out that it needs to be tagged for 7 days first. But tagged with what? Have I used the correct tag now? — Realist² 23:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Yep, that appears to be the correct one. JPG-GR (talk) 23:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, OK, I'm just confused now. What is the point of CSD 16 then? If the tag I've just used will delete it in 7 days time anyway, why would I then need to add a CSD 16? The rule seems to be, tag the article, and wait 7 days for it to be deleted. I don't understand the benefit of CSD 16 since your not allowed to use it until 7 days after the other tag (by which point it will be deleted anyway). Sorry, I'm really getting into images at the moment, since it is a legal system of it's own almost, I'm just trying to understand. — Realist² 23:42, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm no expert - I just know that the I6 tag puts it in a category which isn't time-dependent, so the phrasing of it implies that it's not appropriate until the 7 day period has passed. Perhaps in events of extreme image backlog? *shrug* JPG-GR (talk) 00:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Concerning your non-deletion of this image, what is "NFUR presnt" supposed to mean. I wasn't claiming there was no rationale. The rationale is generic and doesn't concern itself with the specific image or article. That is a clear violation of policy. "intended to represent the nature of the show" and "important to show the characters" are not sufficient as they give no indication as to why the text of the article cannot adequately present this information.

Hi JPG-GR, isn't the norm for a term that could have multiple meanings to point the term to the disambiguation page? I'm refering to the WCAR page which you have pointed back to the radio station. If I'm mising something, please explain. Thanks Oboler (talk) 07:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC).

Primary usage trumps multiple meanings. Either way, you changed it so that WCAR redirected to a dab page rather than was one and then dab'd WCAR (the radio station) with an incorrect disambiguator. I just restored everything. JPG-GR (talk) 16:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Weymouth page move discussion

Hi. You recently closed a discussion, a request to reverse a move that had been made without discussion, as no consensus. I find that worrying, as it would seem to encourage editors to make potentially controversial moves without discussion, as the move would thus be more likely to stick. Kanguole (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

No consensus is no consensus, regardless of the greater picture. JPG-GR (talk) 16:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi! You deleted Template:BannerShell but I notice there is still a lot of documentation which refers to this template. If it is depreciated perhaps you (or the person who requested deletion) could update all the documentation? Thanks, MSGJ 19:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Ultramagnetic MC's move

Hi JPG-GR! First off, my apologies. I'm not familiar with the guide lines on moving pages. Second, if I did do something wrong there, could you point it out? I thought my proposal wasn't controversial, and any arguments raised were swiftly put aside with proof. The following is the discussion:

• Ultramagnetic MCs → Ultramagnetic MC's — There is supposed to be a apostrophe between MC and the letter "s": MC's, not MCs — Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 10:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Contested - Since the article is entirely unreferenced, it's hard to say in this case, but standard English does not require an apostrophe. --DAJF (talk) 10:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

http://images.google.nl/images?hl=nl&q=ultramagnetic+mc%27s&gbv=2 --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 11:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

This is from google.nl; the rules for apostrophes are different in Dutch. Sam⁵ (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Haha! It is still the same album cover. But alright, I suppose I should come up with some sources:

• http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/ultramagneticmcs/
• http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=ULTRAMAGNETIC%7CMC\\'S&sql=11:a9fixqe5ldae~T0 --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 23:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

• I support the move, as the sources mentioned above justify the move. And plus that's how it is usually written on their album covers. — Do U(knome)? ^yes..._{or no} 05:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

• I support this ungrammatical move. Kittybrewster ☎ 10:24, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

• It is not ungrammatical. Sometimes an apostrophe is okay, especially when the thing being made plural is an initialism or ends in a numeral (e.g., Old 97's). -Rrius (talk) 07:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that DAJF and SamSamSamSam were both proven wrong: the group's name is Ultramagnetic MC's per RollingStone.com and AllMusic.com and every single album cover ([9]). It has nothing to do with Dutch language rules or the Dutch version of Google.

I hope the move can be finally put trough, without the regular Wikipedia bureaucracy. I don't care much for the group, but I do care about correct Wiki article titles! Kind regards, --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 11:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

It has twice been proven now that this is not an uncontroversial move. It's going to have to go through the five-day process as outlined at WP:RM. JPG-GR (talk) 17:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Please, JPG-GR, explain what is "controversial" about this move. I don't see anything controversial, and by the sources that I've produced, it is proven that the name is written with an apostroph, and no other way. Should DAJF and Sam x 5 return to the topic proclaim they are convinced? --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 18:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The fact that people disagree with your proposal makes it quite clear that it is controversial, no matter who's side may or may not be right. JPG-GR (talk) 19:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay... But what about WP:DEMOCRACY? Aren't arguments weighed against each other, not votes? And the two Wikipedians who did disagree, I came up with evidence for my proposal, would that still make it "controversial"? So if I understand you correctly, if I would go ask DAJF and Sam x 5 to take another look at the discussion and they just might reconsider, everything would be okay, and uncontroversial? Man, moving a page is a lot of work!

And just to make things clear: I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just point to what's right. --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 20:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't know - I didn't read the discussion, as discussion isn't supposed to happen on the WP:RM page itself - regular contributors to an article do not read random other pages if they are not notified to contribute, which is why the move can only be called controversial when there's a disagreement until the proper procedure is done to see what the general editing public has to say.

RE:speedy deletion tagging of One Story the movie

If you check the target article and the AfD, you will see that the author of the article has requested that it be deleted, and all other users participating are in favor of deletion. That is why I tagged the redirects for speedy deletion. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

Hi. With regard to the requested move at Talk:Security belt of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. You closed the discussion as "No consensus and Stale". But there's no consensus for the present title as well, as many people opposed it. Could you please advise what can be done to further contest the title and maybe get more third party people involved in resolution of the dispute over the title? Thanks. Grandmaster (talk) 06:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

No consensus defaults to no move, so there's nothing immediate to do. You can try opening a Request for Comment - though those have varying amounts of success in the area of article naming.

Just because the discussion was marked closed doesn't mean the discussion can't (or even shouldn't) continue. Eventually, it's possible that a consensus will develop. At that point, re-list at WP:RM and hope for the best. JPG-GR (talk) 07:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

But can I place a tag to indicate that the title is disputed? Grandmaster (talk) 10:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

If such a tag exists, sure. JPG-GR (talk) 20:15, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

List of The Biggest Loser Contestants

I've noticed this page has been deleted - is there a way I can retrieve the original content of the page as I put a lot of hours into compiling the information. To me the information also represented on individual articles was a variation and compilation of lists to allow comparison between various seasons and national variations. This can not be achieved through separate articles. I'm disappointed that the article has been removed and I wasn't able to contribute to discussion but would at least like to have a copy of the article content for my own records. Peter (talk) 03:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Would you like it in wiki-format or HTML-format? JPG-GR (talk) 03:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

You removed a template without looking at it's (in my opinion valid) context.

I put a {{move|NewName}} template in <noinclude> tags on a talk page, the purpose being to visually demonstrate to a user the template used in requesting a move (which I have since proposed). You deleted it before he could even see it (yes I know it's in history, but you left no indication on the page as to the removal creating confusion) - please examine context before deleting. - ^olucid^eer 23:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Putting a template in <noinclude> tags does not have the effect you have implied it should. Moreover, doing so improperly categorized the page. JPG-GR (talk) 06:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for my error in that case. I was assuming that based on this that the <noinclude> tags could be used to prevent category inclusion. For example: many people have created user namespace boxes which include the user in a category (for example "This user is a deletionist/inclusionist" etc.). One can place such a userbox on your userpage and preclude your categorisation with <noinclude> tags. So it easy to assume that this would work for any template in any namespace. Obviously it doesn't, and I thank you for highlighting this for me as I would have done this in future had you not. I can not find this noted in documentation though. - ^olucid^eer 19:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.122.222.39 (talk)

Pri-Med, can we discuss protection put on it?

Hi, I noticed that my entry, Pri-Med, was recently protected because it had been created so many times. I have been working on the entry for a while and even with the "hangon" message, it continues to get deleted. Therefore I posted it several times to continue the conversion with the admin I was working with to get the submission right. Is there any way the page could come back? Or could you give me guidance on how to fix it. I have revised copy that I'd like to put up; maybe you could check it out for me? It is posted on my user page. Thanks.

Articles on other power stations are accepted as valid for Wikipedia (see Category:Power stations by country).

I have restored the article. JPG-GR (talk) 04:15, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the article. It would help me to understand why the article was deleted in the first place. Was there something in the article that was inappropriate? Or was something missing that needed to be there? I support the Wikipedia principles on advertising, but don't see how this article would be advertising. (I have no personal involvement in this project, or with the companies developing it.) --Pakaraki (talk) 04:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

You'd have to ask whomever tagged it for speedy. When I came across it, it seemed an appropriate call - but then again the speedy request in the first place can shade that view. JPG-GR (talk) 05:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

List of European countries

Greetings,

There is an WP:EW on at this article, of which I am in one side of. The issue is that the original state of the article was changed by User:Rownon. After reverting with explanation and further clarification in the talk page and additional information in the article, several undo/reversions have occurred. I would like to discuss the disputed issue in a civilised manner, but it seems that some personal attacks have been levied against me. Also, accusations against me and my neutral WP:POV have damaged my reputation as an editor. While I don't agree with the reasoning behind User:Rownon's edits, I am not against having a discussion about it, but I feel as though I have presented a legitimate case against User:Rownon's edits and User:Rownon has not made a good faith effort to explain his argument to retain the initial edit. I am obviously protective of the article's content, but I am also open to modification if discussion proves my information incorrect.

Can you please moderate the discussion? Cheers. The € • ^T/_C 22:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Just to give my 2c. My reason for editing is simple. With this very reliable source (CIA World Fact Book, there's more if you need it) it declares that there is no long form name of the country Ireland. I edited to say none as per facts with a footnote saying the term Republic of Ireland was a description and was not recognized as a name (again per all the facts). But theeuro reverted all changes with pretty much no discussion as if he/she owned the article. The euro's edit is factually incorrect and the editor has given no good reason why the page should mislead readers with wrong information other than saying 'it was there before' as a reason.Rownon (talk) 22:52, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Rownon's 2c is not worth much since it is formed of mostly lies and half-truths. My citation is from the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland. Rownon's is from the United States CIA. Given that this issue pertains to Ireland, it stands to reason that my citation has more pertinence to the discussion. Rownon did edit the article. However, after reverting it, I provided an argument for the reason why I thought it should not be the way Rownon edited it. Rownon did not discuss anything and instead attacked me in both the edit summary of the article itself and the discussion page, rather than provide an argument for the reason he edited the article. That Rownon continually accuses me of owning the article and Rownon claims to be factually correct while providing one citation, while the edit I provided has four citations proves that Rownon is not acting in good faith. While Rownon claims that I have not 'given [a] good reason' for my reversion, it is wholly untrue as evidenced by the article's talk page. Cheers. The € • ^T/_C 02:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Improper Page Move

Hi there, I noticed that you are an administrator at WP:Request move. I need some help on how to deal with a page move that I consider controversial, but that was made without observing the proper protocols. The page is Kannada literature, 1600–1900 CE (which until two days ago was named Kannada literature in the Kingdom of Mysore). The page is a sub-article of the FA Kingdom of Mysore, which is currently in FAR. I tried to revert the page move, and simultaneously start a discussion on the talk page, but but the two primary authors of the article, user:Dineshkannambadi and user:Sarvagnya, reverted both my move and the evidence (for controversy) that I tried to adduce on the talk page (see page history and talk page history). Since I subscribe to 1RR, I did not revert the reverts. All this, however, led another editor, user:Docku, to take the issue to AN/I. Please see my first post in the AN/I discussion for a summary of the page move. Please also read my posts on Talk:Kannada literature, 1600–1900 CE about the matter. Neither author has responded to those posts, nor have they responded to my post about the issue in the FAR itself. See my last post (Fowler&fowler post 12 at the bottom of the discussion). In my view the page name should be reverted to its previous page name and then a proper move should be requested and concurrent discussion conducted. Please advise me on how to proceed. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 02:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

When all else fails, propose as such at WP:RM (being sure to follow the procedure as listed). A greater community consensus usually solves things like this. JPG-GR (talk) 02:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, apparently all else is failing. The two primary authors have been completely unresponsive on the article talk page. So, how should I proceed at WP:RM? Should I first simply move (using the "move" tab up top) the page name back to its previous name, and then request their move to Kannada literature, 1600–1900 CE and create a section for discussion? Or, should I request a move to the previous page name? The latter, of course, puts me at a great disadvantage, since the perpetrators of the first move only needed to press a button to wreak their damage, whereas I face the prospects of wading through much discussion to even begin to undo it. I should add that my main interest is in the "mother article," Kingdom of Mysore, which is in WP:FAR, not in this article.

Can't you, as a presiding admin at RM, simply revert the page name back to its previous name, and request the primary authors to observe the proper protocol? I've seen other admins do the same on many occasions on other Wikipedia pages. (Please see the article talk page for the controversy.) Fowler&fowler«Talk» 18:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

WP:BRD tells me you should move it back and then follow the WP:RM procedure. JPG-GR (talk) 19:14, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Indian states move

Thanks for messaging me, but the templatised message was most unuseful and unhelpful. It does not mention why it was incomplete. So here goes:

1. Step 1: Add move template to talk page Enter {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page ---- Done here: Diff
2. Step 2: Create a place for discussion: {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} ---- Done here: Diff
3. Step 3: Add the request to the "Other proposals" list on this page {{subst:RMlink|PageName|reason for move}} ---- Done here: Diff
4. 4: On Talk:Page B, add {{multimove|Page E|Talk:Page A}} to the top. ---- Done here: diff

So, as far as I know, I have done it correctly. Could you please be more specific as to what is incomplete? Thanks! =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:44, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

You deleted these pages citing as the result of a delete discussion. Where is that discussion? There is no deletion log that shows these were deleted before either. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 01:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 04:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Just guessing here, but shouldn't the ones at Category:Polling templates be deleted as well - at least the non-userfied ones, all of the ones under "T"? And ultimately, the category itself deleted since it will then only be populated with 1 user's own vote templates? - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 04:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Histmerge on mm'-type filter

Can I please ask you to reconsider your decline to merge this artilce here. Saying they were edited in parallel is a bit of a stretch. There is only one edit that overlaps, consisting of a single letter - not even a whole word. The article was only ever created as a placeholder to stop links in other articles getting deleted, the real article was built in my userspace. The placeholder stub is 288 words and a simple copy of a piece of another article at that. The new article is 1800 words of new material.

There is only one edit in the history of the pasted material that overlaps, and that is the creation of the page in userspace. If you were to merge in all edits except for that first one there would not be a difficulty would there? SpinningSpark 04:33, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

re RM zero sum

Hi, I was a bit late getting the article talkpage items done, but I think I had done all 3 steps of the RM. I'd be glad to take whichever step I missed if I had in faact skipped one. Best regards. Pete.Hurd (talk) 04:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

There is no link pointing to the area of discussion in the proposal at WP:RM. JPG-GR (talk) 04:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
