On 1 September 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Iraq War, which you substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.
Well, happy to do what I can. Wikipedia is like nowhere else in cyberspace, I find; a very odd and shifting mix of the fair and (sometimes) unfair. In this case, the signs indicated a no-win situation for you and the best thing to do in such a case is to not keep getting madder, but to walk away. Otherwise you get warnings and (horrors!) even blocks. And blocks really do tell a lot about editors, in my opinion. Best wishes, Jusdafax01:57, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
yes it was a terrible situation to be in. So many false accusations being made (when false accusations were also part of my original complaint!). then you get people believing the false accusations too and repeating them, it really is very unpleasant stuff. Anyway I've pointed out the mistakes to one of those making the allegations and they've begrudgingly taken at least some of it onboard. I'm not sure what I've learned, other than people can basically say whatever they want and get away with it just so long as they don't' go totally over the top. I suppose I should maybe have asked someone else to take up my case and examine it rather than making the complaint myself? Anyway, I certainly do agree with you about blocks.--Shakehandsman (talk) 02:52, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks that you made it through,I’d like to share big thanks to Umveligqangi(creater of Heaven and Earth that we are still alive in Africa). Gumedeperkan (talk) 14:43, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
On 3 September 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Hurricane Earl (2010), which you recently nominated and substantially updated.

Well it's not uncommon that an admin forgets or doesn't do them for one reason or another. I try to make sure any non-regular gets a template, but I think you qualify as a regular now! ;) There's nothing wrong with templating yourself. If anybody were to dishonestly template themselves, they'd only be cheating themselves (and possibly 10 point in the backlog creation cup!). Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 03:04, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
User:Jusdafax has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian,
and therefore, I've officially declared today as Jusdafax's day!
For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian,
enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Jusdafax!
WOW! Many thanks... I had taken a little wiki-break there, and what a wonderful way to log in. Many thanks to Rlevse and the rest of you; I am quite astonished and humbled. Jusdafax17:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Tommy, I am extremely flattered and honored. I just read your gracious nomination; thank you so very much, really! But, with great regret, I deem it best to decline for now... for a number of reasons that it would be tedious to elaborate on, except to say that I don't believe the time is right for me to request the extra buttons, and I am not sure when that time will come, if ever. Again, my profound thanks, and sincere best wishes to you! Jusdafax05:21, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Shirik, I had answered here first and then had an edit conflict at the now-deleted Rfa nomination page... and now am laughing at myself, as I had put a fair amount of effort into an attempt at an eloquent declining statement. On further thought, it has worked out well. In any case, I am again quite moved my the good opinions of my well-wishers, and promise that I will give your views further consideration in the coming weeks and months, Shirik, Tommy2010 and MarmadukePercy! Jusdafax05:46, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to see you declined. I've seen what having admin privileges is like (on other wikis) and it's really not a big deal, despite a potential (not for you though) trip to hell and back. I think and I'd be willing to bet the community is too- that you'd be a great candidate that's fully qualified. Regards Tommy!05:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
BLP unsourced vs BLP sources and No footnotes
Hi there, for articles like this one, you should use {{BLP sources}} and {{No footnotes}} rather than {{BLP unsourced}} as it does have a reference, it just lacks inline citations. Also, if you go to the trouble of posting a message on talk page, can you check for relevant WikiProject banners? If the article isn't in any WikiProjects, the chances of it ever being improved are much less. Thanks. The-Pope (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Is it? I seem to remember observing that the previous poll was of questionable character, and not casting a !vote as a result. Still, thank you for the notice. Jusdafax18:21, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
No worries, this notice was sent to all users by bot ( over 600 ) that commented on the straw poll page even if they did not actually take a position one way or the other, you are of course under no obligations to comment. Best regards Off2riorob (talk) 18:28, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Ysgol y Preseli
I got a mesasage from you warning me about changes I made to "Ysgol y Preseli". Until I got your message I had never heard of "Ysgol y Preseli" nor had I made any changes to it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.216.209 (talk) 22:19, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
I see 'Clue Bot' warned you as well, it was a simple deletion of content warning. Hm, back on June 1st, eh? Could someone have had access to your computer then? Since you have like 5 edits total I doubt you are a dedicated vandal. And like you I have never heard of Ysgol y Preseli except when it came up on Huggle, the anti-vandal tool. Well, best wishes to you. It's a mystery we may never solve. Jusdafax05:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Techwriter2B is back
This time he registered Centpacrr’s full real name as his own username and attempted to impersonate Centpacrr. Was quickly blocked by OhNoitsJamie but is now appealing the block.[2][3]Eurytemora (talk) 10:31, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Talk about unbelievable - he's appealed yet again and has even added a header to the talk page essentially threatening libel. Eurytemora (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I'll be checking in asap. Personal matters and travel (with no computer) have quite consumed me of late and it has only been the past few days that I have settled back down. Of course, now the World Series starts tonight! 'Till soon, Jusdafax18:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Please pardon the intrusion. This tin of thanks spam is offered to everyone who commented or !voted (Support, Oppose or Neutral) on my recent RfA. I appreciate the fact that you care enough about the encyclopedia and its community to participate in this forum.
There are a host of processes that further need community support, including content review (WP:GAN, WP:PR, WP:FAC, and WP:FAR). You can also consider becoming a Wikipedia Ambassador. If you have the requisite experience and knowledge, consider running for admin yourself!
If you have any further comments, input or questions, please do feel free to drop a line to me on my talk page. I am open to all discussion. Thanks • Ling.Nut (talk) 02:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
As I said in the Rfa, it was very tough to make a decision. I again thank you for your many good deeds on the project. Jusdafax02:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Miss me? I'm a fairly good Huggler, if I do say so myself. I do feel however that much of the effort is a waste of time due to IP vandals. I speak as someone with over 50,000 edits... Required registration would stop 90% of all vandalism, most of which is done by bored school kids on school computers. This would free up an awful lot of time for editing articles and content creation. I don't rule out doing more Huggling... but at the moment I have been a bit busy in 'real life' and have a limited time to work on Wikipedia. But thanks for asking. Jusdafax18:07, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Your welcome, and I hope you will come back to Huggle soon because that's the Jusdafax that I know about because you warned many users. WAYNEOLAJUWON21:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
An apology
Jusdafax, nine months ago I had committed a judgment of error — one made in good faith, but an error nonetheless. You had raised the point on my talk page and I made the mistake of taking it personally and then reacting thus. I would like to apologize for my ludicrously poor behavior, and I would like to express regret for not apologizing to you sooner about it. I hope you do not consider it reflective of my general behavior, which is typically more moderate. harej01:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough, Harej, and I salute you. I decided not to bring the issue up when we later met at the Wikimedia Foundation offices in San Francisco when you came through for a visit. I was the old geezer in the cubicle next to Cary Bass. I'm currently a lot less involved in the project than I was at that time, but I may yet go back to deeper involvement, so I appreciate any healing offers I can get. I must admit that I felt the way Cda was dealt with overall was the start of my current disenchantment with Wikipedia. Indeed (and to be frank), I pulled back and semi-recently declined a handsome Rfa nomination due to deep concerns around the issues of admin abuse, civility standards, and other wiki-matters that have left a bad taste in my mouth, though my real life time concerns were also a factor... But I take your friendly comment as a good sign. Thanks for reaching out! Jusdafax12:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
On 26 November 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Tom DeLay, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.
Thank you for your support at my RfA last week. I'll do everything I can to live up to your expectations and if you ever need help from a janitor please feel free to drop me a line! PanydThe muffin is not subtle13:09, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
You are quite welcome. As I note above, I am a very part-time Wikipedian at the present, and some of the reason for that is exemplified by your recent ordeal. I have seen too many like you get what I'd call shabby treatment, while those truly abusive editors I'd consider worthy of extended blocks escape meaningful sanctions, and smirkingly continue to "play the edge" of what they can get away with. It all has had, and continues to have, quite the chilling effect on me, and I assume others of good will, creating an intellectual and spiritual effect not unlike Gresham's Law. It would seem that, as usual in human affairs, those who want power are almost always the very people who should not be given power.
The Nigerian settlement part was again removed by someone from the Cheney article. I added the info to Halliburton anyway, I think it is better if we feature this instead so please do not go into an edit war on the Cheney article :D --BorgQueen (talk) 19:00, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Naw, no worries, I've been a big believer in taking it slow for a while now, and haven't been in an edit war in a long time... and have never been blocked. I reverted it back in once, so it's up to other interested parties to debate the issue. Thanks for the update here, our edits crossed when I made an additional comment at ITN. Happy holidays!
