Avatar 3O edit

Jim, good opinion and it settled the dispute. I withdrew from the field once one of the disputants conceded. My opinion, had I issued it, would have been that the inclusion of any meaning for the name would have been inappropriate original research, unless the creators of the series had verifiably made a point of the name's meaning. That opinion would have been made wearing my "Third Opinion Wikipedian hat" (hmm ... interesting possibility for a graphic) but just as another WikiJoe I don't think the inclusion does any great harm to the goals of Wikipedia, so I'm just as glad your opinion did the trick for them.

List of eponymous streets in Hudson County

I just happened to start this page because I wanted to save some work that was removed (and probably rightfully so) from Jersey City article. Hadn't really expected it would get attention, and wasn't really planning to invest alot time to it, but rather just add on as I came across things that were appropriate for it. Thanks for the tip.

Brian Duprey

Did you miss my point? Duprey is the only Maine state legislator outside leadership who has not run for higher office with an article. Again, the only. This is true of many, many other states. Rank-and-file legislators from small-to-medium sized states are generally not considered notable by Wikipedia standards - especially former legislators. Moreover, 167 hits on the internet is hardly notable; that's practically non-existent. Persons with thousands of hits have had their articles deleted due to lack of notability, and anyway, number of search results is an invalid measure of notability. You should revise your reply to fit guidelines. XINOPH | TALK 21:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

While I am surprised that the coverage of the Maine Legislature is so badly incomplete, I did not miss your point at all. All State legislators are considered notable according to the guideline due to the fact that there will be reliable sources which provide significant coverage of them by the nature of their position. And there is no difference in notability between current and former members of a state-wide legislative body. I cited the appropriate guideline in my keep rationale, but the subject passes the GNG anyway. The fact that sources exist but have not yet been added to the article is not sufficient grounds for deletion either. If I had access to the newspapers found in that search, I would glady add the available sources to the article. Jim Miller See me | Touch me 21:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

  • gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

Important notice about VOTE 3 in the CDA poll

You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.

It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).

As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!

Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

NJ Governor refs

The edit is [1] but unfortunately for learning, I just tacked it on to the existing acting governor note for Corzine. :) A short explanation...

  • If it's just a simple reference, it of course goes into <ref> and </ref>.
  • If it's a footnote, it goes in group N, for notes, <ref group='N'> and </ref>.
  • Now here's the tricky part. If it's a footnote that cites a reference, then we need to hack it a little, because <ref> tags are not nestable. But there's a system hack we can use; by doing {{#tag:ref|, we tell the system to implement the ref tag, without actually calling the ref tag. At least that's how I think it works. So then you can write the footnote normally, and fill it with as many <ref>s as you like. It still works like a template, so at the end, you do the |, and then your arguments, like group='N' and name='foobar', separated by |s each time. And then close the template. It's not exactly elegant, but it was a godsend when I found out about it. --Golbez (talk) 15:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Your VOTE 2 vote at CDA

Hi JimMillerJr,

you are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.

1) Background of VOTE 2:

In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.

This was VOTE 2;

Do you prefer a 'desysop threshold' of 80% or 90%, or having none at all?
As a "rule of thumb", the Bureaucrats will automatically de-sysop the Administrator standing under CDA if the percentage reaches this 'threshold'. Currently it is 80% (per proposal 5.4).
Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;

Do you prefer a "rule of thumb" 'auto-desysop' percentage of 80%, 90%, or "none"?
Where "none" means that there is no need for a point where the bureaucrats can automatically desysop.
Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?

Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.

3) How to help:

Directly below this querying message, please can you;

  • Clarify what you meant if you voted "none".
  • In cases where the question was genuinely misunderstood, change your initial vote if you wish to (please explain the ambiguity, and don't forget to leave a second choice if you have one).
  • Please do nothing if you interpreted the question correctly (or just confirm this if you wish), as this query cannot be a new vote.

I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. Sorry for the inconvenience,

People list guideline

Jim: thanks for helping out with the effort to clarify the WP:LISTPEOPLE guideline. You wrote something I agree with: "[Guidelines] are supposed to be descriptive, and not to be prescriptive". I agree that the existing lists throughout WP have been the result of years of consensus-building, and they reflect what the guideline should be. I think the guideline should be updated to reflect the reality of the Alumni and Eagle Scout lists, for example. However, there are editors who feel the opposite, and think the current guideline is good, and they would claim that many WP lists should be pruned and - in some cases - eliminated. For that reason, I view the improvements to WP:LISTPEOPLE as a two step process:

  1. Clarify the wording of the current guideline (without significantly changing the meaning of the guideline's text)
  2. Change the guideline's guidance to reflect the widespread consensus reflected in WP's lists

Step 1 will be fairly hard, since many editors like keeping the status quo; and other editors just like being obstructionists. Step 2 will be really hard. Combining both into a single step is guaranteed to lead to failure, in my opinion. Anyway, thanks, and I hope we can make some progress. --Noleander (talk) 03:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

assessment of Pahaquarry Copper Mine

Jim,

First thanks for the assessment.

You wrote:

I have assessed this as Start Class for a few minor reasons. I would probably call this a C-Class article except for these items:

  • Duplicate entries in the Bilbliography and Further reading sections
  • The sections seem to be in an unusual order - History, then Geology, then Legends would make more sense to me

My response:

The duplicate entries are from references in the Bibliography, harvard style references, that are also good general reading. This was done to correct problems found on my initial draft by User:Chzz. So the Bibliography is part of the references, but it sounds like further reading. Is there a better way?

The order of the sections results from my emphasis on trying to debunk the legends. What once was known rumor has become fact. I'm currently working on the Schuyler Copper Mine and will eventually tie them together. Does that make more sense?


Thanks,

Hudson County templates

Yes, we did settle it, which is why I was surprised to see Alan restoring those templates. The degree of material in each city's article that is not related to that city was setttled at the end of this discussion in August 2009, so I don't know why all the material not relevant to Bayonne is being restored. Mentioning which districts it's in is perfectly valid. Going into detail about the representative makeup of those districts is not. "Completeness" regarding that material belongs in articles on that district. Not in the article on one of its cities. New Jersey is part of the United States, but that doesn't mean we mention that Barack Obama is President of the U.S. in the New Jersey article. We've already been over this.

As for naming Anthony Chiappone, that was an error on my part. Sorry about that. Nightscream (talk) 03:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I have not stifled or attempted to stifle discussion, nor does anything I said carry that meaning or implication. That the matter was decided is simply a question of fact. Yes, consensus can change, but Alan has not provided any evidence to conclude that it may have. But I am not required to assume that consensus may have changed, and start a new discussion myself or notify other editors, every time someone edits an article against a prior consensus, as Alan indicated on that talk page. Nightscream (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I did not infer any such meaning from you regarding Alan vs. myself. As for change, I do not oppose change, since, as an adherent of skepticism, the provisional nature of all ideas is a fundamental part of knowledge. But so far, Alan has not explained how or why consensus has changed, so his restoring those templates came across as him simply disregarding consensus, perhaps in the hope that no one would notice, and his statement that I did not notify anyone or discuss my reverts came across as backwards, since it was he, not I, who was editing against an established consensus, and therefore, he who should've discussed this before restoring those templates, but chose not to.
The fact that such templates are used in other city articles does not constitute evidence that consensus has changed. It constitutes evidence that those articles are not in accordance with that consensus. The discussion we had in 2009 was on the Project NJ discussion page, not the Hudson County talk page, and the principles that I cited in arguing that those templates do not belong in city articles were not specific to Hudson County. My arguments now are the same as then: Material not about a city does not belong in an article on that city. If those templates are being used in articles about cities in other counties, then they need to be removed from those as well. The rationale your describe essentially boils down to "Well, those other city articles violate that consensus, so instead of editing those articles to bring them in line with that consensus, let's instead pretend that that constitutes evidence that the consensus has changed". To revise a conclusion, you need to explain the flaws in the reasoning or evidence on which that conclusion is predicated. Nothing about the reasoning I have pointed out regarding why those templates do not belong in city articles has been invalidated, as no one could (or bothered trying to) refute it in the 2009 discussion. All your pointing out is that people have not followed the decision based on it. Nightscream (talk) 20:28, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jim.

I agree with you, and was trying to be fair about it but did not want to leave it unsaid. I have spent some more time looking at her other contributions, and will most likely be moving to support. I purposely put it in neutral with the intent of deciding after I had more time to review her record. That experience was only the day before the AfD went live, and it is still inappropriate to draw attention to the editor rather than the edit, but I will decide based on the entirety of her record. In the mean time, if that single neutral gets other !voters to actually look into the nominee's record, and ignore the questions portion, AfD will be a better place.

If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:30, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

DYK for New Jersey Rockin' Rollers

On 14 February 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article New Jersey Rockin' Rollers, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1994 New Jersey Rockin' Rollers, led by Manon Rhéaume, defeated Erin Whitten and the Pittsburgh Phantoms, in the first professional roller hockey game with two women as goaltenders? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, New Jersey Rockin' Rollers), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
