Sorry

Got mad, I was just in a bad mood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.107.74 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 22 Oct 2007

Commas

You once again put commas back into the Silver sentence on the List of proposed Jack the Ripper suspects. Commas don;t work the way you had them in there.

You had:

"In 2007 South African historian, Charles van Onselen, claimed in his book, The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath, that Joseph Silver was Jack the Ripper."

When you put commas around a phrase you are indicating that the separated phrases are exactly equivalent. Commas arond the author name in reference to "South African historian" would mean that Onselen is the ONLY South African historian. Similarly, commas around the book title would mean that he ONLY has one book and that it was this one. Onselen has written more than one book.

Normally I wouldn't take the time to explain this to you, but since you went and put the incorrect commas back in even after they were fixed I felt I should let you know so you wouldn't do that anymore. DreamGuy 19:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

At first, when I read your comment, I was amazed that I was getting lectured on comma usage, when I know damn well how to use a comma. Well, apparently, I don't. (As I type this, I'm all self-conscious on my comma usage, by the way.)
Anyway, I do have a question.
This is what is currently on the page:
"In 2007 South African historian Charles van Onselen claimed in the book The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath that Joseph Silver was Jack the Ripper. "
I understand my mistake with the commas I insisted on putting around Charles van Onselen being incorrect. However, shouldn't there be a comma after 2007 and around the title of the book? Maybe not. I've obviously been wrong before. Jauerback 13:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
The one after 2007 is sort of an optional one. Different sources disagree on whether one should go there or not, minly because some stylebooks prefer a lot fewer commas than others just in general. But it does sound like there could be a pause there and it wouldn't hurt anything to have one there.
Around the title of the book, no, for the same reason you don't put it around the author name. If you say "the book" comma "(name of book)" that's saying there is only one book so that the two phrases are exactly the same. If he had only ever written one book and it said "his book" and "(name of book)" then there would be a comma. Or if it were "his newest book" because that would be exactly the same, because he only has one book of his that's the most recently released. Commas in these cases are kind of like grammatical equal signs. DreamGuy 21:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oberweis.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Oberweis.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 18:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Oberweis.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Oberweis.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

Cyrus Robinson

  • The Airman featured in this article is, in fact, notable in the field of digital forensics. The "original work" are items that SrA Robinson contributed to the field of digital forensics. Government sources are allowed to be cited as references. The references are not self-published. Further, not all items are Test and Evaluations. There are several study/white papers referenced as well as links to references showing SrA Robinson's selection for enlisted commissioning programs (only 29% selection rate for the year 2007). Also, there are references to outside biographical sources and to condirm SrA Robinson briefing at the Annual DoD Cyber Crime Conference, a conference with over 700 attendees. While SrA Robinson may not be an international superstar, he is certainly a key (and notable) figure in the field of digital forensics and the United States Air Force. Further, the original article that was deleted did, in fact, fail to meet notability requirements. That article, posted by Cyrus Robinson himself, was done so at my request because I did not yet have a wikipedia account, and it was poorly written. After superbeecat's original complaint, I created an article myself and in my own interest. superbeecat is implying that Cyrus has a fake "sock" account set up to create this article. Cyrus' IP address is in the Reston, Va-Washington, DC area. I am posting from an IP address outside of Wichita, KS. superbeecat is making false allegations concerning this article, and seems to have a personal grudge with this article. Following the "good faith" and "edit boldly" policies set forth by Wikipedia, I argue that for the general interest of the digital forensic and United States military communities, this article should remain listed. Please undelete this page.Imnotfamous 19:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

"This Is Why I'm Hot" Remix section

Why did you remove my entry for the dis/parody "This Is Why You Suck" by Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel? If you need a reference, they have it up on their MySpace page, the link can also be found on the wikipedia entry for the band that you're also contesting. I will not be online for the rest of today to defend this, so hopefully you can hold off on deletion until tomorrow so I don't have to re-type everything if you decide to toss it. Thanks. Ballstatic 15:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't actually delete the pages. I'm not an admin. However, I removed your entry about their parody reference, because the band doesn't appear notable -- that's why I nominated their page for Speedy Deletion, as well. Jauerback 15:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of "This Is Why I'm Hot" Remix section

That's funny because I see all sorts of comments in this section concerning bands that don't have notability or even a wikipedia entry. If you are delting my entries, why not delete all of the others? I also don't see why none of the "admins" are bothering to read the history logs on the pages for A Band of Orcs which keeps getting marked for deletion even though the notability was confirmed by Merope. Also, I don't see how there's a lack of notability with [Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel|Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel (band)] when they are directly associated with two notable bands (A Band of Orcs, and Former Fat Boys) especially considering they are currently working on an MP3 single with Former Fat Boys.

Thanks for the tip. Jauerback 11:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Mayhem Morearity thoughts

First, great username. Second, thanks for soliciting my opinion- I appreciate the opportunity to dole out a bit of advice. Third, I certainly think that article is deleteable (if that's a word), and would get a delete majority at AfD. It's got no sources, it's not NPOV, and none of the Google hits I looked at seemed to have much reliability. If you end up AfDing it, I'll certainly be there to back you up. -- Kicking222 03:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I think it's because the spoonerism creates "BauerJack", so the letter switch itself isn't as easily recognizable. I'm not a huge 24 guy- I loved season 5, which was the first season I ever watched, and then quit on season 6 after about five episodes. Anyway, I'm about to comment on the AfD- thanks for the heads up. -- Kicking222 15:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

AfD for Westfield Manukau City

After this AfD had commenced and community comment commenced, you attempted to include five further articles within this debate for deletion consideration. As discussion had commenced, it is inappropriate for these to be considered after discussion has commenced. In the meantime, I have struck out the five nominations, and I would encourage you to open a seperate AfD which proposes all five articles for deletion. If you need any help with this or have any questions to ask, please do not hesitate to contact me via my talk page. Cheers, Thewinchester (talk) 12:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, you're partly correct, so I won't argue with you. I didn't "attempt" to add five (or four?) more articles to this AFD. That was my intent the entire time. I hadn't reached step III of the AFD listing process where I listed it on the the articles for deletion page with {{subst:afd3 | pg=PageName}}. Apparently, someone saw the AFD tag on one the articles and gave his two cents. So, your assessment is accurate, but not entirely... either way, I won't fight what you did. Jauerback 13:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
That's totally cool, just making sure you don't cheese anyone else off. The issue of shopping centres on a number of projects in this part of the world has been quite a hot topic of late to the point where a few projects are getting a little cheesed off. I've spent countless hours doing research into centes or improving articles to either get them up to standard or show them the door. Thewinchester (talk) 13:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I hope you don't mind, but I changed the warning tag on User talk:72.68.180.204 to a uw-b4, because I've already given the guy three previous warnings and it doesn't look like he's going to stop vandalizing, I'd hate to have to start over again with the different vandal levels. At least now, if he does it one more time, I can report him to WP:AIV. Corvus cornix 18:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Territorial Pissings

Song pages that have not been released as a single for any artist or album do not sustain enough merit to be standalone articles, and are therefore redirected to the album article. This was not "vandalism". NSR77 TC 20:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD cases have been raised before. However, making a separate case for each article is overwhelmingly tedious and cumbersome. Such song articles are generally filled with POV riff raff and unverified speculation. Though, thanks for the concern. NSR77 TC 20:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Ough, whatever. I will ask you, though, not to re-add the mistakes of warnings; not only are they incorrect but I have the right to do as I please with my talk page. NSR77 TC 20:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

handgun page editing

do i really have to cite a source for my information when the statement is from personal observation from watching well over 100 deaths. the information is verifiable by any health care expert who has worked with critical patients, or trauma victims. any 1st year medical student can tell you that consciousness is unsustainable without a mean arterial pressure of 65mmhg. i would like to know the real validity, and source of the cited French Revolution decapitation studies from 1792, and how they scientificly measured the results of the study for their conclusions.

Yes, you do. It's called WP:OR which Wikipedia does not allow. Jauerback 02:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, Jauerback, for the warning. I'm aware of the three-revert rule. I believe so far I only have one reversion on each point. If you look at the Talk page, you'll see that I'm very eager to work via consensus and have proposed dispute resolution. Maybe you could protect the page while we do this. I feel that Orlady is making edits that are a violation of NPOV. He seems to have an agenda, and I'm completely neutral to this topic. I have no interest in Warnborough College, other than to see that the article conforms to Wikipedia guidlines. Thanks! TimidGuy 14:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm done revising for now. I've set up a Google Alert to capture headlines about the film in the future. Also, some items are missing like the release date and additional writers. The Internet Movie Database isn't particularly reliable for upcoming films as information shifts constantly. IMDb estimates a release year, but in the case of this film, we don't know if it will experience a prolonged production process or not. Also, none of the citations I've come across besides IMDb have mentioned the two additional writers, John Glenn and Travis Wright, so they aren't presently verifiable. Let me know your thoughts! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I get messages like that all the time, no need to apologize. And you're right, I didn't actually warn that user. What I think happened is the warning edit was submitted but it returned an error page rather than saving (everything was a bit slow at the time) and I didn't notice.

What that article needs is some references to her work. What would be usual for an author is book reviews in major sources. Incidentally, you might want to format the list of publications so related works are together and additional editions of the same book do not have the same emphasis.

One of the quotes referred to her by name. I don't want to keep reverting back and forth. The attorney is making a case that this is a fantasy made up by the sister. True or not, it has bearing on Drew's guilt or innocence and is part of the story. Before you reply back, please read the links. I was very careful to edit and include only direct quotes and referenced my sources. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaellovesnyc (talk • contribs) 17:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Asinus

Hi, spotted your revert and warning to User:4444hhhh. I appreciate the revert, it was needed, but I want to defend this young user. I think the edit was actually good faith and not a joke, just misguided taxonomy on the part of someone who isn't even in college yet. She (I am guessing this is a she, and 4-H is a real program where kids can learn about farm animals) also moved Asinus to "Wild Ass," which I moved back, but I think she sincerely thought that Donkeys (Equus asinus) were a different genus from their wild counterparts, not fully understanding the difference between "wild" and feral animals, nor the distinction between a genus and a subgenus. (Note edit history of Ass) Anyway, what I think we have here is a very enthusiastic kiddo -- check her contribs, she created Template:Equidae which is very nice, and she broke out some new Zebra subspecies articles. She's not a vandal. Just one of those things where a little nudge here and guidance there will probably do the trick. I hope. She's been very open to my comments and suggestions. She also started Wikipedia:Wikiproject Equines which about six adult editors had been jawing about for months and never got around to creating (though I'd name it "Equine" or "Equidae" or even "Horse" to be proper form), so I have to tip my hat to her. FYI. Maybe just keep an eye out for over-enthusiasm, but I think this is a good kid. (I hope) (said after doing a vandal revert on Cowboy for the 14 millionth time...)

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. As you can see, I don't know how to properly format the sources and citations, so I followed the hint that said to put them in and then someone (?) reformat them properly. I have a LOT of other information about the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club members and over time would enjoy contributing further. Thanks again for the welcome! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Viscount Flesym (talk • contribs) 21:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Reverting and reporting

Hello Jauerback, I've now enabled the semi-automatic reports for you, you need to click on "yes" only if a user has vandalized after the final warning. Caution: Only click "yes" if you have reverted recent vandalism (from around the last 2 minutes) and set the focus after the report back to the warning tab (or close the reporting tab) to allow this window to pop up for the question. Just refresh your cache. --Oxymoron83 15:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

At the first report I think you warned and reported then for the same edit. At the second report you used the "revert to"-revert (this tool will only work for the other reverts). It seems that all worked as expected; whereas this tool should guide you to the AIV page instead of placing a warning if you used one of the revert buttons on the right side of the screen and the IP received a recent final warning (before there was the 'No automatic warning - Reached level 4' note at the IP talk page in such situations). Looking at your contributions, I think there wasn't such a situation until now. But I will look at your future reverts if this works. Happy editing --Oxymoron83 18:01, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Just one more tip so that the tool works as expected. If you want revert older edits of an IP you just reverted that were missed, you have 3 possibilities: 1) go to the contributions page, hover the mouse over the 'diff' field and wait one second for the diff to appear. If the edit qualifies for reversion, right click on the brown or red 'revert' button there (makes no difference which you choose) and select 'open link in new tab'; repeat this for every edit you want (this is the method I prefer). 2) Use the 'restore this revision'-revert if you prefer to watch the diffs in a full window width. 3) Go to the history of each page and use popups ('action' -> 'revert' of the revision you want to revert to).
You may also use one of the standard reverts and click 'no' for the report if you know you reverted an older revision of a user, but in case the IP didn't receive a final warning before, this could place a warning for every revert, especially if your PC clock isn't adjusted correctly (in the range of seconds). Regards --Oxymoron83 16:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

User:67.72.98.45 report

Hi, I removed your User:67.72.98.45 report from WP:AIV. The user's 'last warning' was actually over his edit to Nazi Party and so he didn't technically go over that last warning. To block him would thus be incorrect (sounds stupid but we give a number of chances). If he has edited one more thing after that edit, then a block is appropriate. If a vandal is going quick, instead of multiple warnings, feel free to go straight to {{subst:bv}} instead and then the next immediate edit will be deserving a block. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Censorship... From our Wikipedia Admin "Jaurback"

Thank you for correcting the errors of my ways "Jauerback"... What I said was true, and not vandalism, and on top of that, I was already warned by someone else on the same issue... Thank you, but what you just did was VERY rude and uncalled for... Wikipedia deletes truths against itself just to keep itself alive... It WILL fall to Knol

All three warnings were done by us apparently at the same time. If I had seen the other two warnings were for the same revert, you would have never been given a warning in the first place. Next time, please try to remain civil. Happy editing. Jauerback (talk) 22:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

WebridesTV

Jauerback,

I am contacting you about the webridestv article. I created the article and can see that some people have labeled it as "salt". I just want to apologize about the recreation of the page so many times. The reason that I had to re-create the article numerous times is because it was my very first one that I created and I was unaware of all of the guidelines that I had to follow when posting an article. I was in contact with many different administrators that helped me out to produce the final article that is up now. The site is actually very notable. The Alexa ratings for the site are quite impressive and significantly increasing every month. As of 12/18/2007 the current U.S. ranking is 2,984, I have provided a link to the traffic details page of WebRidesTV [2]. In terms of notable sources the ones provided with the article are prominent and significant enough to validate the site as wikipedia worthy. I hope you understand and reconsider your opinion on the deletion of this article, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

I've responded on your talk page. Jauerback (talk) 00:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I've responded there as well (of course, as my talk page says that I will). I apologize for coming off as rude, if I did. It's just that I did not/do not get the need for you to have approached me about that. Truth is, as another editor mentioned on my talk page, I used to provide edit summaries for minor edits. I still do at times (more out of boredom or just wanting to say more), but not all of the times anymore...because I no longer see it as needed (at all) in those cases. Anyway, I'll see you around.

First of all I told you who I am and second of all I was being very "constructive" until he reverted smy addition in the Nascar 08 section.

I just emailed Jimmy and showed him everyting, so YOU might as well stop taking sides. You do not know the entire story. How would you like it if I reverted imporatant input that YOU spent time inputting?

I dont have to answer to you or Kahne 17 year old.

He reverted my edit twice with NO EXPLANATION. APpearantly you are not familiar with all of the rules. In particular, not slandering and ganging up against members. I have a doctorine and 63 years of knowledge and I am getting punked out by a 17 year old for contributing. WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE NOW.

Not worth it

I have tried to explain my situation and all you care about is blocking and threatening me. All I did was made a contribution which was reverted by some jerk and now I am the bad guy. I have made many notible edits, just check my record. You have lost another one whom only had good intentions but unfortunetly became pissed off because he kept reverting with no explanation.

How is "Hardcore NASCAR fans will no-doubt rally behind the title and say that the reviews are wrong and that we just don't understand the sport, but there's very little to the package.

This is turn into into a criminal case. I have no problem turning your response over to the U.S. attorney also for criminal misconduct. I have already had one person editing wikipedia inserts on medical issues arrested in the past. This is a serious issue. Someguy has put in false information, including medical and other on the HPV page, used ridiculous references like Ms magazine and threatened me. I have you IP address and if you continue to obstruct youwill be getting a call from the Federal Bureau of investigation for criminal misconduct....this is no longer a game or editing war.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendykoontz (talk • contribs) 15:11, 28 Dec 2007 (this comment moved from my user page)

Not an editing war, it is false medical advice from non experts who vandalized a page. Your criminally liable as U.S. law takes precedence over Wikipedia rules. You last warning before I continue my talk with the U.S. attorneys office.

For your information, neither smeguy or the ironlady have any expertise on the subject and have altered the page was was contributed to by license medical personal and experts in the area. Furthermore, they have threatened others and falsely accused others of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendykoontz (talk • contribs) 15:15, 28 Dec 2007

I wish you wouldn't jump to conclusions about who I am or my motives in adding an external link to a blog post about Idan Raichel's song Bo'i. I derive no commerical benefit whatsoever fr. this link nor fr. my blog. I write a world music blog that features Israeli music. I am a professional writer who specializes in Israeli politics & culture. I am a radio producer who has done programs on several public radio stations about world & Israeli music.

My blog post features an mp3 which would allow Wikipedians interested in Raichel's music to actually hear it. Besides, I've written an in depth post about diff. facets of his career, his musical interests, & how they fit into Israeli cultural life.

Before excising material it would be nice if you would ask me to justify the link, which I would've been happy to do. I believe in deleting the link you have impoverished both the Raichel article & the experience of those reading it who may want to learn more about him.Richard (talk) 06:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
