Harry Potter

Jd, there actually is a list of the Harry Potter books further down on the page. I've undone your edit. FeralDruid 22:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, FeralDruid, don't know how I missed that. JD Lambert 01:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Soft drinks

Hi, since you made some good edits to Coca Cola, would you care to join Wikiproject soft drinks? Telcourbanio Care for a talk? 15:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Telcourbanio! Thanks for the invitation, but I'll decline. I'm not particularly interested in soft drinks, I mostly just read a lot and tweak when I see things that I can improve a little. JD Lambert 15:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creek people

Hi, Jdlambert. I changed your edit to Creek people and removed the citations from the Sequoyah Research Center, which looked a lot like original research. You may be on to something, but Wikipedia is not the place to hold its debut. On the other hand, the documents you cite may not be the best available sources for the origin of the name "Muscogee." Other documents exist that would give other derivations. If there is a consensus of experts, that is what we should cite.

All the same mvto for your efforts. Your point about Coweta and Cusseta is (I think) a good addition. -- Rob C (Alarob) 19:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rob, thanks for the corrections/improvements, and for teaching me my first Muskogee word -- mvto! I didn't realize that original research in Wikipedia was inappropriate, but now I know better. I am glad you left at least one occurance of the reference, though... it seems to me that linking to original source material is a very valuable part of Wiki. BTW, my wife and children have some Creek ancestors. I'm stuck with plain old Europeans. JD Lambert 21:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you about original sources, especially when it comes to history topics. Your link to those documents showed me some sources I'd never seen before, and I appreciate that.

If you'd like to learn all the Maskoke I know (and then some!), here is a great website: Creek Language Archive. (One of my ambitions is to go to Oklahoma to study the language. As it is, I'm in Alabama surrounded by Muskogee place names, but no one speaks the language.) -- Rob C (Alarob) 22:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Factory farming

It hasn't been locked for seven months, but since May 20. I very much hope you leave it locked, and in fact the other titles involved in the dispute need to be locked too to force all the editors to the table. It's because they have simply carried on editing the other titles (but we have stayed away from them so as not to edit war) that they feel fine about turning down mediation. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 02:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin, so I can't unlock it. However, I think the chance of mediation helping is near zero, I think that keeping it locked will not convince others to agree to mediation, and I think that unlocking could allow us to make progress if people will hash out proposed changes on the talk page before making any changes. If unlocking doesn't work, it's easy enough to lock it again. JD Lambert 15:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jdlambert, I'll respond to you here, since you addressed your response on the article page to me. I agree with SlimVirgin above – the only reason the others are refusing to compromise or to agree to mediation is because other related pages are open, we are not editing them to avoid edit warring, and therefore the other pages have become POV forks. Unlocking this page would be exactly the wrong move – it would remove any pressure on that group to mediate or negotiate, and only result in the resumption of the edit warring that caused the original protection. As an admin, I never unprotect an article that I protect due to edit warring, unless I have personally verified that there are improved chances for meaningful negotiations and collaboration. I don't see any such changes in this case – the fact that one side absolutely refuses mediation speaks volumes. Crum375 16:49, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SQL

What SQL procedural extension does MySQL have? "MySQL" as the name is suspicious.--Chealer 03:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked, but never found one. Everything I've seen just refers to it as SQL. If you find somewhere that MySQL AB refers to it by name, please add it and its citation. JD Lambert 15:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it could be called "SQL" because it's part of SQL now. Do you have any evidence that MySQL has a [non-standard] SQL procedural extension?

Here's a few... Do, Handler, Load Data Infile, Kill, Reset, Flush. All these are listed in MySQL AB's documentation under "13. SQL Statement Syntax" and I don't believe they're ANSI standard. As with other RDBMS vendors, they don't normally distinguish in their documentation as to which of their commands are standard and which are extensions.

Factory farming RfM

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/factory_farming, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. Jav43 17:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

G11 is blatantly promotional materal, but the final version was not. I must have been looking at the original, which was. "Stub" means that the article is short, not that it doesn't have to comply with policies like WP:N.

Public access

I am sorry, but at 777K bytes, Public access stations (United States) was about 20 times bigger than a decent Wikipedia article ought to be. It is not the length of the visible article that is the problem but the massive use of HTML markup. This also suggests the article is a copyvio. I have movd it to User:Jdlambert/sandbox. If it is not a copyvio, please convert it to wiki markup - you will find the size comes crashing down! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a copyright violation, but I agree it's too large. I ran out of time to work on it today, but I'll fix in my sandbox. I'll try to break it into smaller chunks as well as converting the markup and other improvements. JD Lambert^(T|C) 02:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may not be a copyvio, but you do need to declare its source. I have found it in two places on the web, both equally massive files due to ridiculous HTML - but different HTML from yours! It will probably be OK as one article once you convert it entirely to wiki markup. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very reasonable

I was pleasantly surprised to see the turn of events at Fairfax Public Access, and your eventual tagging it for deletion when you determined that it did not meet notability guidelines. It's not often that you see that amount of reason in people who have created pages that are nominated as not notable enough! It was very pleasant to see. -- Natalya 13:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History Press

Fine - since you're implying that you've read the book, I'll be interested to see how you develop the material and use it in the topic. Tedickey (talk) 12:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you reverse some link deletions please?

Hello JD, A week and a half ago, you reversed a link deletion on the Nathan Bedford Forrest article with the comment "Hi, Donald. I'm not sure why you think the animated history links are spam, but I restored the one on General Forrest after checking the link. I think it's an excellent link for anyone interested in Forrest's military history. JD Lambert(T|C) 23:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)"

Donald also deleted a number of other links to battle animations and then reported me as a spammer. I tried to reverse the links, but a spammer-policeman (kind of - they do good work) named Merc then reversed those.

I took the time work with the Civil War Community and, based on the advice of the two project managers, I asked for an opinion on Civil War Talk which you can view here: [1] The opinion given is by Hal Jespersen who is the guiding/driving force for the entire project as he has created all of the maps for civil war on Wiki. (His website is: [2]). Hal states: "I think your animations are well done and don't object to judicious inclusion as External links. My concept of judicious would be to select only the most important or relevant places to link. For instance, Gettysburg has dozens of articles about the campaign and battle and literally hundreds of articles about men, women, and units who fought there. I'd recommend linking only from Battle of Gettysburg and Gettysburg Campaign (assuming you also animate the campaign as a whole). ....... Hal Jespersen (talk) 15:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)"

The only other warning I ever had about spamming is on my own Talk page and the author of the article itself replied to the warning thanking me for adding the link to the article.

I made my case to Merc the person who redeleted my links quoting all the above on his Talk page. His response is: "I wouldn't recommend reinserting the links yourself because you may find yourself being reverted again by someone else citing our conflict of interest guideline. If Hal (or some third party) feels the links are worthwhile then by all means he should add them himself. Our spam archives are full of examples of people spamming their own sites for money and/or ego, so we need to be wary of people adding links to their own sites in a systematic manner. MER-C 09:29, 13 September 2008 (UTC)" See his talk page [3]

Donald Ashbury, who originally deleted the links, has quit Wiki according to his home page and won't be back. He deleted your comment.

Based on Merc's suggestion, I was wondering if you would do me a great favor and reverse Merc's links (he said it is OK but recommends that I personally do not do it).

The links to reverse would be: Battle of Gettysburg / Overland Campaign / Battle of Perryville / Battle of Stones River / Battle of Chancellorsville / Third Battle of Chattanooga / Battle of Leyte Gulf / Battle of Iwo Jima.

And if you were very nicely inclined, put a link in or copy the link for The Battle of Gettysburg and add it to The Gettysburg Campaign article Gettysburg Campaign under external links (as Hal Jespersen has suggested)? The link should NOT be the first one and would be "* Animated History of The Gettysburg Campaign" (you can see the actual http by editing this page).

I would be very grateful if you could help with this. If I can perform any service for you in return in the future you need only ask.

James Cagney Jcagney (talk) 15:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, James. I'm willing to consider each one, but my health limits my time. If you would, please post here each proposed link with each article. I'll check out each pair and either add the links to the articles or explain my objections. JD Lambert^(T|C) 02:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found some other people to help with this. Again, JD, thank you for your original comment on the Nathan Bedford Forrest article when it was deleted. I am a huge Forrest fan and ultimately hope to do an animation dedicated to just his raids. He was highly, highly underated and underused during the war.

Supposed "Sherman" photo

Jdlambert:

I noticed the photo you posted entitled "Sherman and His Officers."

General Sherman does not appear in that photo, as can be seen in the linked version below. http://www.generalsandbrevets.com/ngv/vandever.htm

The seated figure with the hat in hand probably is not a general at all (given his uniform) and this appears to be the staff of General William Vandeveer, who was posted to Rome in May 1864.

It would be nice if you could correct the title of the image you have posted, which I don't know how to do.

Anyway, I have done what I can to correct things on the JPG page and the Rome, Georgia page.

Thanks for your consideration,

Disambiguation link notification for June 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Smallpox, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pox (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In this case I meant to link to the disambiguation page because it has a short definition of the word pox with links to the various kinds of pox. JD Lambert^(T|C) 01:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers

I saw that you were in a dispute with User:Colin about whether the "ketogenic diet" that you're personally on should be the one that's at the title "Ketogenic diet" on Wikipedia. I think you're wasting your time there, but I wanted to say something else. You said that you "have done far more edits on Wikipedia than" Colin. The number of edits isn't necessarily a good measure of value, but your assertion appears to be wrong. As of today, Colin's made 12,609 edits, and your account shows exactly 836 non-deleted edits to your account. If your other edits are in a different account, then you can use {{User alternative account}} or similar templates to link them together. It's optional, but for most purposes, it's considered helpful. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that I was incorrect about me having more edits than Colin. I suspect I looked at the wrong thing when getting numbers to compare. I agree that the number of edits is not necessarily a good measure of total value, but a significant number of edits can indicate a novice editor vs. an experienced editor. I agree I wasted my time trying to change Colin's mind. I intend to finish an initial article on ketogenic diets in general, make it live, and then make an appeal to a wider Wiki audience regarding the names of the articles. Unfortunately my efforts are limited by the effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment and the remnants of damage from encephalitis, but I intend to continue as long as I am able to make progress. JD Lambert^(T|C) 15:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very exhausting work for no gain. --Agamemnus (talk) 09:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Commonwealth Games of Virginia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Commonwealth Games of Virginia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://vas.clearagility.com/about-us/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
