WP:FG
What the hell is this work group? CTJF83 00:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well, since I am a member of WikiProject Animation, although animation is not a genre, its a rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement, just like they used in films and television commercials and series. I've have decided to convert WikiProject Family Guy into a work group of WikiProject Animation, along with American animation and Cartoon Network work group, since it has almost inactive, just like my interview on the signpost. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 01:45, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Moving this back here, as due to my lack of editing lately, I forgot about it. How is it that you, without bringing a discussion that I'm aware of, just decided to merge a project with another? CTJF83 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- Miss this? CTJF83 01:44, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was just a little busy in real life myself. To be honest, I never discussed with the Family Guy WikiProject myself along with the main discussion page, before I converted into a work group of WP:ANIMATION, along with the Episode citation style, Family Guy trivia and Wikipedia is not a joke book which should be kept and not delete it. Although it there was proposal for The Cleveland Show task force of WP:FG, but it never did. I've tried to invite GageSkidmore (which also tagged some Family Guy episodes with the WikiProject Animation banner) and Pedro thy master to join the Animation WikiProject, but never did.

Nominating user space for deletion
I read the Guide to deletion and I don't think you can nominate a page on my user space for deletion. I can blank the page if it bothers you for some reason (though I don't see how) but it's useful for me to have my history intact so I don't want it deleted, and according to the guideline, is up to me to nominated for deletion if I want to.

Barnstar

For your persistence in enforcing the general notability guideline, for the time you spend removing articles on non-notable subjects so that the project as a whole is more credible, and for all the work you do at AfD, I award you this barnstar. Wikipedia is stronger because of you. Neelix (talk) 16:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC) |
Not a guidline
I noticed some changes over at the animation pages. Just to let you know you cant call Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/Manual of Style a guideline since its not been approved by the community. No project has the right to control the articles that may fall under there scope? Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Advice pages. Would have to go threw the WP:PROPOSAL to make this a real guideline. In the mean time I would suggest changing the wording to Advise.Moxy (talk) 16:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Advise
For advise on how to write animation articles, please see our manual of style of WikiProject Animation for more information.
- New tags if you like for advise pages {{WikiProject style advice}} - {{WikiProject content advice}}.Moxy (talk) 04:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Fridays (Cartoon Network)
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 Fridays (Cartoon Network), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Nomination of Fridays (Cartoon Network) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Fridays (Cartoon Network) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fridays (Cartoon Network) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 07:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Rabbot Redux
Hi John,
I noticed that you started an AfD for Rabbot Redux almost a month ago and that it hasn't closed. I checked into it and I don't think the discussion was ever listed at the articles for deletion log. I have listed it now, but it will probably be another week or so before a decision is made. Just something to keep in mind in the future; you're doing some good work on the project. I'd love to see you achieve your goals in getting some of those articles you've listed up to good status (Disney Channel, Microsoft Windows, etc.).

Invitations to WikiProject United States
I contribute to a U.S. state project that you recently invited to merge with WikiProject United States, and this comment did not seem appropriate on the project page. While I don't wish to make personal remarks, JJ, your invitation was poorly worded, rambling, and riddled with errors. You might get a better reception from projects like ours if you edited your invitations for grammar and clarity. You represent WikiProject United States and its editorial standards. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 02:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

- That's okay. So long as don't pull or support WikiProject Californa under WikiProject United States, okay? JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 21:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- LOL, no no not that one. Only the ones that want too. I think we have all the ones that are interested. Now if we can just get some of the other members to be a little more active. Unfortunatly I have been extremely busy and having a lot of computer problems since the last upgrade of Wikipedia I am finding it very difficult to edit more than a handful of edits a day. --Kumioko (talk) 01:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I know its kind very hard here. I've also planned to pull and support WikiProject Alabama, WikiProject Appalachia, WikiProject Arkansas, American animation work group of WikiProject Animation, American cinema task force of WikiProject Film, WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state) (inculding the Atlanta task force), WikiProject Massachusetts, WikiProject Boston, WikiProject Lowell, Massachusetts, WikiProject Cape Cod and the Islands, United States military history task force of WikiProject Military History, United States comics work group of WikiProject Comics and WikiProject United States History under WikiProject United States. So far, WikiProject Alabama and WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state) is not very happy with it, but happy with WikiProject Film and WikiProject Military History are happy to support these joint task forces. J Gerb said that sounds reasonable to support United States comics work group under WPUS. I deiced to leave the WikiProject because I got frustrated, because of my words are poorly, inculding rambling, and riddled with errors. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 01:23, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, that's okay, as long as not a member WikiProject United States myself anymore. Some portals have not been maintained like Library of Congress, Superfund and Television in the United States portal which I've also created. If not, it could be taking it to mfd. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 05:27, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- The portals are another area that I wanted to work on once we get the projects fully supported under WPUS. I'm not really sure that we need portals for every project but I think if we create a standard layout and naming convension for all or most of the supported portals they should be pretty easy to maintain once they are initially setup. --Kumioko (talk) 13:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know, maybe like create a NASA portal, and also possibly add and create WikiProject NASA to the WPUS banner to tag all NASA articles like WikiProject Europe does tag under the ESA task force. Since the abloshement of WP:SPACE in 2010, I think it has WikiProject NASA on the WikiProject Space project banner and may overlap with WP:SPACEFLIGHT while tagging under your project. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 22:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
WPUS related projects question
Greetings, I noticed you added a couple projects to the WPUS template and wanted to ask about them.
- WPUSHistory - In the past this project did not want to be supported. Has something changed?
- Military History - although I am not opposed to adding this and I do not believe that they will mind based on conversations with them in the past, we should make sure everyone knows not to replace the MILHist banner. Also, if we are going to add this one we should also add ACW and ARW for the Civil War and Revolutionary war. I think for now it would be better not to include these until we get more activity with the project.
- With regards to the other three of American Cinema, American animation work group and United States comics work group . Are we sharing those with the other project or are we taking over for those projects. Either one is fine with me I just wanted to clarify. I was going to start tagging these and wanted to make sure I wasn't screwing something up. Also, have we discussed anything with those projects? The American Cinema group is a massive chunk of content and would need to be done as a bot run (the other 2 should probably be as well) I just wanted to be clear before going on a tagging run and starting a fight.
- I am going to remove the 3 Iowa related projects based on an ongoing discussion on that projects talk page.
Thanks. --Kumioko (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- I've asked few projects myself at WP:FILM, WP:MILHIST and WP:CMC and there okay with it. Since the American animation work group of WP:ANIMATION is not very active, I've decided pull this work group under WikiProject United States. A dual tagging would be okay, so long as you do not remove the American animation work group from the WikiProject Animation banner. I've asked at WP:IOWA before, and they said to okay to remove it.

Disruptive Nominations
Your continuation of portal nominations is now bordering on disruptive and pointy behaviour, as previous nominations appear to be not only being kept but significantly speedyed because of invalid nomination reasons. I suggest that you cease further portal nominations until the outcome of the previous nominations have been completed. Gnangarra 03:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
WP US History
Believe me I am all for aligning all the US projects into a central working collaboration but only if the project wants too. In the case of US History if you look at the talk page they appear against it if you look at the discussion that occurred there just a couple months ago. If that has changed, then great. But if not then I don't think we should include them at this time. --Kumioko (talk) 21:33, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Possible deletion of some Categories
Greetings JJ98, I was considering deleting a couple of categories you created a while back but before I do I wanted to ask you about it. For WikiProject United States you added some categorization for Importance by class. Which is great. Some of them though I'm not sure if we need, for example importance categories of other than NA for non article classes such as Templates and Categories which will always be NA (unless they are incorrect in which case they'll stick out and we can fix them pretty quick).
Is there a reason we need to keep this that you can think of or would it be ok to delete these? --Kumioko (talk) 16:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Well, fine by me, I will be around here to keep track, but not a lot. JJ98 (talk) 20:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I was about to try some changes to this template but see there is quite a difference between the active template and the sandbox. Are the changes in Template:WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state)/sandbox planned to be made active? Wondering if I should work from the sandbox status you last edited or to reset it back to the active template first?--Traveler100 (talk) 15:33, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I was going to try and model this after WikiProject United States, add to do list (along with task forces), including with geocoord-needed and autoi parameters. Sorry, I been busy in real life myself. I get to it one of these days. JJ98 (talk) 06:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
San Francisco meetup at WMF headquarters
Hi Jj98,
I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the next wiki-meetup happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 21:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Georgia (U.S. state) Portal and Georgia (U.S. state) WikiProject adjustments
Jj98,
I notice you've made many adjustments on the Georgia Portal and WikiProject pages. Thank you! I've been away from Wiki for a while and have only recently gotten back into it. I used to be fairly into both the project and the portal and need to focus on them more. It's good to see that someone else has taken an interest. Thanks again.

Redesign of WikiProject Texas main page
I don't know how to handle this myself, so maybe it's on your drawing board since you did that wonderful redesign of the WikiProject Texas. Down on the bottom left of the page are the Project Statistics, which connects to Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Texas articles by quality statistics. The problem is that the source doesn't get updated very often. The last time was January 2010. Is there a way to make this happen more often, or to get rid of it altogether? Doesn't make sense to have something like that so out of date. Especially since it conflicts with the paragraph right above the box. I think those statistics are going to change greatly after Kumioko is finished with tagging articles. Maile66 (talk) 23:10, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- I just had some dialogue over at Kumioko's talk page that helped me understand this better. Maile66 (talk) 01:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
