User talk:Jmlk17/Archive10
I Thought...I thought part of the purpose of Wikipedia was to allow more obscure articles on lesser known things that a regular encyclopedia would not contain. Thus, I'm wondering what this deal is with my band (in the article "Brethren (band)") not being "significant enough" (as according to the reason for deletion)? We are an active band and making music, and we have a MySpace page showing all of this. Sure, we aren't signed and aren't well-known outside of our home town, but that's how many bands are or were, especially when they started. Despite this, we've had a fair share of history, and that's the main thing our Wiki page was talking about. So, anyway... I guess my question is, does the page really have grounds for removal? And can I get it back?
Ohhhh! Naked talk page!~*Ariel grabs her spray paint and sprays graffiti all over!*~
Thank you for HRC protectionThanks for restoring semi-protection to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The admin who recently unprotected it obviously had a faith in humanity unwarranted by reality. Wasted Time R 11:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Re: Bad AIV reportYou wrote: "administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given.

Catarina Cardoso BioHey Jmlk17, Why have you deleted "Catarina Cardoso" bio page? She is a promissing 14 year old singer. Please restore it so I can finish reading. ty VC — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.64.34 (talk • contribs) 16:47, October 9, 2007
Thank You!I just wanted to send a note of thanks for the time, efforts and energy that you donate to Wikipedia. Fine folks like you keep this site running well and I thank you for it.Magkaz 23:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Archived Already?Man, your talk page moves fast! Haha. Anyway, sorry that we missed each other yesterday, you want to set up a time when we'll both be around to start working stuff out? GlassCobra (Review) 23:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the support.Hi Jmlk17, Thanks for coming out in support of my second RFA. Although I was disappointed in the outcome of the self-nomination, I am glad that you were able to provide support for the second nomination. I am loathe to spam the regulars, so I decided to send you this brief note. Thanks again, and I hope to see you around. Cheers, --Aarktica 00:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank You!Thank you so much for the semi-protection of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008! I really appreciate it. :-) Bmg916Speak 00:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Charlotte Collingwood & Kevin LockeI do not understand your reasons for deleting these articles. The are about performers I have seen and been impressed with several times recently, The references are clearly verifiable. I would like to replace them as I believe these hard working musicians should be acknowledged. What should I do please? Dylanmills 07:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Admin coachingOf course I don't mind! You can use any/all of the questions at User:Glen/Admin coaching - or, do what I do and just create a subpage in their userspace with {{subst:User:Glen/Admin coaching}}. I also "coached" Riana (not that she needed it) and I believe the pages are still in her userspace too. Thanks for asking! :) Glen 03:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Charlotte CollingwoodWhy is Charlotte Collingwood notable? As well as having been a West End actress (Lady In The Dark: Royal National Theatre 1997, original cast recording ASIN: B000006PVR), she is one of the busiest singers in England. As well as over 100 gigs a year as part of a duo, her quartet and quintet are fully booked for months ahead. She is certainly notable enough for her corporate clients for 2005-2006 to include: Dresdner Kleinwort , John Lewis Partnership, Saatchi & Saatchi, Sainsbury’s and Tesco. Kevin Locke I will concede as I know little of his past, he has however performed for these clients too. Dylanmills 09:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC) RFA Thanks Click there to open your card! → → →
My dear Wikipedian Jmlk17, CreditsThis RFA thanks was inspired by The Random Editor, who in turn was inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. So unfortunately this is not entirely my own design. This end the usual RFA thanks spam. You may return to your regular editing now.
RFA Thank You Note from Jehochman
My recent RfAThank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace, so that is what I will do. I will go for another RfA in two month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been two months. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! -- Cobi(t|c|b|cn) 00:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

ReviewHi. I hope not to annoy you but I only have one review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Tbo 157 and I am trying to get a wide opinion about my editing preferably from experienced editors such as yourself. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a bit of time to review me but of course it is up to you. If you do review me could you try and look for my weak areas and raise any criticisms you may have about me as an editor. Thanks very much. Tbo 157(talk) (review) 17:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
CoachingHey man, I'm all finished with the questions. I was thinking maybe you could critique my answers a bit? Hit me up on here or on AIM, okay? Thanks! GlassCobra (Review) 20:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Extreme VandalJesus Christ, look at this. Some vandal added over a million bytes (1,217,237) to User:Daniel Case of "this guy is a fag" over and over again. Just a tiny bit bitter about something, I guess. GlassCobra 16:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Removing External LinksBlackSun 23:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Jmlk17, I'm a strong contributor to the Wikipedia community, and nowhere is it banned to place a single link to an external site under the topic heading for which the site is named. That site has been maintained continuously since 2001, philosophically expounds upon the concept of Black Sun, and certainly warrants listing under the Black Sun section. If it does not, then you will have to get rid of all other commercial and non-comercial links under that category. Black Sun Journal is non-profit and non-commercial. I don't think one admin has the authority to make this kind of determination. It sounds like you are trying to be the ideology police. Chill out please.
RfA Thanks

Grooveshark6 October 2007 you deleted the article about Grooveshark citing CSD G4: Recreation of deleted material, which was originally deleted because of Criteria for Speedy Deletion, A7. However, I believe that A7 does not apply to Grooveshark any longer:
As you can see by following some of those links there is some controversy surrounding Grooveshark's approach to music sales (especially their EULA) and a Wikipedia entry would seem like a good place to go for information, however at this time the article is locked to prevent people from re-creating it. Can you please review your decision to lock this article? Thanks. 70.171.53.143 08:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC) RfA Thanks
Battle of BritainI noticed you have unprotected the above. The vandals are back on this page and its bad. I suggest full protection be granted.

It passed at at 55/17/6. Kwsn (Ni!) 01:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
My adviceThis will no doubt seem peculiar, and I have no idea whether it's de rigeur to contact you, but Dihydrogen Monoxide linked, in my RfA, to a conversation you two had where you seemed ticked that your assessment of people as not experienced enough was getting you accused of 'editcountitis'. So, while it might not be the thing to do, I wanted to explain why I think they reacted that way in my case, with arguments under your oppose and comments in my support saying you don't know what you're talking about. The first issue was, in my statement, I specifically said that my edit count was low, and explained why, linking to a page where I had most recently made about 30 edits and added 6 cites, in one technical 'edit'. If you wanted people to know that you had paid attention to my editing style, and still felt that though I amy prone to big editing you still considered it one edit, you should have said something about that. Second, though I don't believe you're using a template, I have found at least two other RfAs that you opposed with the exact same sentence, word for word, down to that trailing '...yet'. Finally, as was also pointed out to you, 'experience' is a very vague term, when no admin on Wikipedia can (or indeed, should) do everything. Admin candidates (especially those who fail their nom), NEED to know what to do to please people. Even if I pass this nom, which seems likely, I'd still appreciate knowing even one thing that needs improving. I'll *always* appreciate knowing one thing that needs improving. So, should you want to avoid editcountitis accusations in the future, first, don't cut and paste the same quote (even if you're not pasting :-) ). When you do edit articles, you've no doubt rewritten a thing or two that you found on another page, to avoid infringement ;-). I'd recommend that though you're often giving the same basic reason, treat your opposes the same way, and take a few seconds to not infringe yourself. Second, even if you're pressed for time, make it a point to say something that indicates you have looked at the candidate's edit history, instead of just the edit count. Use a pronoun :-). A simple statement (say, in my case, of 'She's done good work recently with the Next Iron Chef candidates, but...') can go a long way to avoiding people's assumptions, and in my case at least, you wouldn't even need to go off the first page of my edit history. As for the pressed for time thing, the RfA is open for a week. There is no need to jump in 90m after a nom is open to the public and support or oppose so quickly. Taking a little time, even if you make up your mind in 30s, so you can be sure your decision is right and people won't make assumptions due to your speed, is something else that might help avoid the outcry. I'm not a decision that needs to be made that quickly, but the swiftness with which you oppose causes people to think you're not truly looking at the candidates' history (I know you've encountered this before, with snark about 'oh, really. You looked over all 3000 entries this morning?' commentia). I don't mind the oppose or anything; I knew I'd get some, and in fact am surprised its been limited to just two so far. I believe that you opposed in good faith, and I have no problems with it. I just know that you seem like you've been frustrated in the past by the editcountitis accusations, so I thought I'd offer this advice (that turned into an essay!) so you can avoid it in the future, even when/if you're just opposing on a gut instinct that the RfA nominee 'needs more experience' ;-) --Thespian 10:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
(outdent, for a different tangent) Am I correct in concluding, then, that do in fact first look at the edit count, and conclude that 2000 edits or 3000 edits will not tell you what you need to know, and vote against someone because of that belief? That does sound like what I'm hearing at this point, but things diverged up there. --Thespian 20:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for coming by my Rfa and giving your opinion, even though you opposed:) It was a help. Pedro's oppose was very helpful, and I am going to follow it. He made some very good points. Even though I still have a chance, I am probably going to pull out latter today. I would like to adress the issues brought up in this Rfa before getting the tools. Have a nice day:)--SJP 10:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

My RfaThanks for voting in my Rfa, which I withdrew from yesterday. Though I did not get promoted, I see this Rfa as being a success nonetheless. What I got out of this Rfa will help me to be a better, all around editor. Because of this Rfa I have decided to become better in other areas of editing. I'm not going to just be a vandalfighter. Though vandalfighting is good, being active in all areas of editing is even better. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm concerned that with it removed the other editor, who has as of yet made any talk page dialog, will be reluctant to take part in any meaningful discussion. They are disputing (apparently) the notability of that content's inclusion (I may be misinterpreting that). Thank you. Benjiboi 23:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

218.186.9.3Hi Jmlk17. I noticed you've blocked this IP as a schoolblock[1], whereas this is actually a cache proxy for Singapore's largest ISP, StarHub. It is a very shared IP, and generates an enormous number of complaints and unblock requests when it is blocked. I just thought you would like to know. Perhaps you would consider reducing the block or at least allow account creation. See User_talk:218.186.8.10 or [2]. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

To My Admin CoachWell, I've been going around and giving everyone a nice message on their talk pages with the blue RfA template, but I just don't think that's going to work with you. I feel like you should get a slightly funnier one:
