[edit] A welcome from Sango123

Hello, David Justin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy Wiki-ing!

[edit] "Wayne Wheler"

I see that you just contributed an article on Wayne Wheler. Thank you. It is standard format in this encyclopedia for people's names not to have quotes around them (see Benjamin Franklin for exmaple). I can move the article for you quite easily. My other concern, however, is a legal issue. This article is quite long and is unformatted (ie it has no links). That may be because you have yet to put in links for keywords and other sylistic issues (which I would gladly help you with). However, many people submit unformatted text because they are simply copying and pasting content from another webiste. I couldn't find any website with the content you just uploaded, so I was wondering if you could tell me whether you copied that material (as copied material must be deleted for copyright reasons). Thanks! This link is Broken 01:51, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mary Hunt

Hi, you might want to check out Wikipedia:Copyrights in regards to the website information you submitted to this article. Karmafist 01:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Just so you know, a redirect should not have any title. By placing a line of text above the #REDIRECT [[link]] operation, the software does not pick it up as a redirect. You may want to preview your pages before you save them, just to make sure everything's working properly. Also, article titles are case sensitive. So, Alcoholic beverage control states and Alcoholic Beverage Control States don't link to the same place. Thanks! -Satori (talk) 16:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

If you indeed have copyright ownership over articles at http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/ then of course you may donate it to wikipedia. Understand that that means other people will be able to use it (read GFDL if you haven't yet). Often people who donate content to wikipedia put a page on their site saying that they have donated some/all content to wikipedia (ie. relicense content into the GFDL/PD/Creatic Commons/Another compatible license). This serves as a way for you to get good will and as proof that you, in fact, own that website (sadly we have some rude people who like to pretend they own websites they clearly don't). What article in particular are you concerned about? I can't remember what article I had discussed with you (besides Wayne Wheler which seems to have no copyright issues). It's best to format the note on the article's source the way I left it at History of alcohol. Don't sign you articles or write the notice at the top though. If you plan to move over many articles you might want to make a template similar to Template:1911. Cheers. 16:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

ah silly me. I read your message to quickly. You want to know how you can fix American Council on Alcohol Problems. I indicated you claim of copyright holding on WP:CP. Sadly that page has a constant backlog. I would remove the copyvio notice on the page and continue editing with a notice of ownership similar to what I explained above. No need for you to wait a month for this to get sorted out. Remember to go through and add a notice to all articles that you contributed. This link is Broken 16:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
I could only hazard a guess. I think that some people, not knowing the rules, submits a copyrighted text. When they are told they can't use it unless they own the rights to it, instead of admitting a wrong they lie. Some also might just want to get Wikipedia into legal trouble. Sad really. 17:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jake foot redirect

Brookie here - I've corrected your attempted redirect as it wasn't correct. :) The curate's egg 18:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi David - thanks for the note - you need to put the redirected aiminto double brackets - I think that you only usedone. If you go to the original page abd press edit - it will show you the final formatting. :) The curate's egg 07:53, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rational Recovery

You made a new page but you spelled it Ratonal Recovery. So, I made that page a redirect to Rational Recovery for you. You might want to look at it and add any info that is not dupilcated. Qaz (talk) 00:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of alcohol

It seems you added links to either History of alcohol or to your own webpage to many individual articles on alcoholic beverages (I removed the one on Wheat beer). Often this does not seem particularly relevant, and could be considered spam. Please don't add links to your own website to so many articles. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 04:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

And I just reverted your de-wikification of History of alcohol. Do you have any particular reason to prefer that article without internal links? It seems counterproductive for Wikipedia. Kusma (talk) 05:07, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

The article you are adding to many pages is only tangentially relevant and sometimes not relevant at all. At the Wiki, we prefer that you add information to the page rather than adding links which do not add to the page. Also, it is generally considered poor form to cite one's own research. Thank you. Wnissen 06:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Please do not unlink valid links. If you continue to remove valid content in the form of links, you might be blocked from editing. Plus, you added a false "source" to American Whiskey Trail which redirects to your web site. Please do not do that again, it has been removed. Wnissen 06:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello again, David Justin, I see you are making many excellent contributions. Thanks for coming up to speed so quickly on the policies and customs at the Wiki. Looking forward to working with you. Wnissen 06:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
However can you please not link to your own site. You are linking there as a reference when your site then quotes primary (or less secondary) sources. Can you cite the originals instead (even if they are print references not web links). Justinc 02:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alcohol and Teenage Brains

I changed the speedy delete tag on the article to an WP:AFD, per your resolution on the copyright issue. Please feel free to participate in that debate. Jasmol 04:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You've obviously studied alcohol quite a bit, and I don't dispute your knowledge in the area. I'm just concerned that the article might fail the original research inclusion guidelines. It may also be appropriate to merge some of the content into the article on alcohol. Cheers, Jasmol 04:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Prohibition

Thanks for your comments about Prohibition and info about Scandinavia - you will see I added your material to the article. Regards--A Y Arktos 06:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I did a bit of googling on the Russian dates. There seems to be quite a lot of people writing about the tsar imposing prohibition when the war broke out and it being continued til 1924 or 25. I put the results at Talk:Prohibition#Prohibition in Russia - confliciting sources for dates. Regards--A Y Arktos 19:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting vandalism

Hi David. I noticed your good edits on Repeal of Prohibition, nice work. But I'm not sure if you're doing them by hand (ie pasting back in material vandals have deleted), or automatically. Have a read of Wikipedia:Revert - doing it that way (editing out-of-date versions of the page) ensures that you don't miss any sneaky, very minor vandalism.

Also, don't you think it's about time you turned this red link blue? :P

cheers, pfctdayelise 14:34, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bravo!

Hello David Justin, I have watched with amazement and gratitude as you have contributed a bevy of excellent pages over the last few weeks. You are really filling in a number of holes that badly needed plugging. I've been going through and marking many of them as stubs (not a negative comment on the content, most articles are marked as stubs for a while just to help them mature more quickly) and adding some wikilinks. Thank you for your extensive research! Wnissen 15:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome! --Deville 01:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I concur, you're doing a great job! When creating new articles, don't forget to categorize them as well. For example, see Category:Wine for some subcategories you might want to add to related articles you've recently created. Keep up the good work :) Mrtea (talk) 04:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ottawa 1981 Tasting

Hi David, I removed the full result list of the Ottawa 1981 tasting from the Château Margaux article; it's enough to say it came second last! If people want the full list they can go to Ottawa Wine Tasting of 1981. I was only nosing around all of this after adding the results to the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 article, which I see you also wrote. Great work on all these wine articles by the way! -- Blorg 21:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi David, thanks for the message. I had a look at some of the other winery articles you have been creating and editing. I'd suggest removing the complete lists of wine tasting results from all the individual winery articles (e.g. Château Mouton Rothschild, Château_Latour, etc.) and instead having the results on the page about the tasting itself. Just linking to the article about the tasting would be enough, with a summary of how they got on; e.g. for Château Ducru-Beaucaillou you could just say "Although Château Ducru-Beaucaillou was judged the best French wine in the Ottawa Wine Tasting of 1981, five Californian wines placed ahead of it." Otherwise the information is duplicated all over the place! -- Blorg 23:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I might ask what they're doing there at all? Does the Chateau Montelena page have in depth descriptions of its failures? As I see it this is a baldfaced bias. If you want to trumpet decades old wine expos detailing who got beat and why, I think it more even-handed to do so in a dedicated article. As I browse through Bordeaux entries, all I see is what I would call overtly biased negativity. Yes, the eruption of California wines onto a scene that had long been French-dominated is remarkable and it makes a good story. But perhaps the cheerleading should be confined to California wine pages. I think the alternative is ugly. Wouldn't it be more sane to keep wine entries neutral erring on the side of positivity? After all, I can find negative critical comments about just about any wine in any given vintage, as you have proven you can do.--BridgeBurner 06:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wine tasting

Hi David, with all the great articles you have been creating about wine tastings I created a Category:Wine_tasting to keep them all together - this centralises links to them all in one place and makes it easier to keep a track/reference between them. I've made the category a sub-category of Wine, Gustation and Oenology. -- Blorg 10:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor nit

David, your contributions to Wikipedia have been significant to say the least. You've really fleshed-out the various alcohol related articles in a big way. I was wondering though, if you wouldn't mind including a brief comment in the edit summary when making a change to an article. Just a short, concise note to let the rest of the community know what you changed without reviewing your edits. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Gregmg 15:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted text

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Brief interventions, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! ×Meegs 18:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I've made a mistake. Hopefully we can clear this up at Talk:Brief interventions. ×Meegs 19:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for enduring the third degree with good humor. As a researcher, I know you know why these things can be important. Post notice of Dr. Kilmer's consent (or non-) on Talk:Brief interventions when you can. Thanks again. ×Meegs 22:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

I just posted this on the Alcoholism Talk Page:

Today, and for some time now, there are highly accurate tools and other instruments which can accurately diagnose the disease of alcoholism. This is but one of many: SUDDS-IV A condition such as alcoholism and other psychoactive chemical use can, more than most other human conditions, have a devastating effect on not only the person suffering from that condition, but with everyone else in their life. Too often, the pain, frustration and feeling of betrayal can cause these other effected persons to make judgments about the person, most commonly focusing on their behavior. The attitude is, too often, ‘if they changed their behavior, if they didn’t pick up the drink, or take the drug in the first place, this wouldn’t be happening’. That is why it is critical to take the condition of chemical dependency out of the realm of public opinion and keep it where it belongs: in the hands of competent, unbiased professionals. Chemical dependency is no myth – it is very real. Michael David 01:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wine competitions

Hi David, thanks for contributing so many fantastic wine competition articles. I have noticed that you have been adding each individual wine competition article as a link in the see also section of many wine related articles. This is causing the see also sections to become "bloated" with articles that may not be directly relevant, making it hard for users to discern what they actually want to look at. May I suggest that you create a "generic" Wine competition article, that acts as an index to all of the other wine competition articles. The article could also describe how a competition is conducted, how the wines are tasted, who judges them, etc. Such an article would link many other articles together. This will mean only this article, and perhaps other highly relevant articles, will need to be included in the see also sections, keeping things more tidy and organised. Thanks. scharks 00:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amusing Chatter

David I thought you might get a kick out of this from user:Michael David's talk page:

Don't jump ship just yet, partner -- I think I'm mixing my eras there -- Mr Christopher seems to have been cowed a bit, and David Justin is trying to play nice. Whether their tactic is to listen, lay back, then strike, I don't know. But right now, I think I've got them seeing things through a different lens. Mine. And that would portend yours. --Sadhaka 11:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was amusing if not revealing. And would you please stop trying to play nice! Mr Christopher 18:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wine by country template

Hi David, just a note that the template {{Wine by country}} should generally only be used in the articles that are linked to in the template, possibly with the exception of the Wine or List of wine producing countries articles. Other region based articles should have for example, a {{Wine regions of France}} template or something like that. I would be happy to create these where required. scharks 04:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

[edit] Len Evans

Why are you removing this redirect page? CJCurrie 05:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zero tolerance

It was a pragmatic solution to avoid a more major dispute. However, the fact that the page is now free-standing does not remove the need to completely rewrite it (and to remove the fake citations: some of the links do not work and some are quoted when you obviously have not actually read them). That said, I hope that you will find life here at least interesting if not enjoyable. The challenges are many, but the opportunity for satisfaction is high. Good luck.

[edit] Swedish Ski Team?

Do you perhaps mean the Swedish Bikini Team? I've nominated it for deletion, but let me know if I'm mistaken. Ghosts&empties 21:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Driving Under the Influence

Dr. Hanson, thanks for your comments on my user page re: posting on the MADD page. Six months late, but I finally got around to it. I hope to do more, once I get the hang of this editing business. Letaylor

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/David Justin for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Nunquam Dormio 18:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Nine sock puppets were blocked indefinitely as a result of the complaint. See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/David Justin. Nunquam Dormio 08:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Whiskey Trail

Hi, I wondered if you would like to look at this http://www.shoppersvineyard.com/americanwhiskey/american-whiskey-c89-2.html (at the end) and see if you can determine what text came from where - as I believe the original text belongs to you. Rich Farmbrough, 15:57 27 September 2006 (GMT).
