Here are some tasks you can do:


Again, welcome! I love your creative name :-). ugen64 23:16, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, I always thought this nick was unoriginal, but thanks! DopefishJustin 00:03, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Keen5.png

Hiya. It seems that I accidentally deleted Keen5.png in addition to the JPEGs I was supposed to delete. :/ I'm sorry about that. I'm glad you said you had the file still, so you can re-upload it. Thanks. — Timwi 20:27, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

It's reuploaded now, so no harm done. I guess I'll try to make my listings clearer in the future :) DopefishJustin 21:39, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bread clips

Hurrah for bread clips! Good job fleshing out that stub. - TB 22:13, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why I reverted

Justin - H-anime is a an abbreviated form of Hentai. According to the rules for naming categories, category names are supposed to be descriptive, and thus Hentai is preferable.

Also, the term "Hentai" is orders of magnitude more popular and recognized. It gets 500 times as many google hits - 22,100,000 to 43,000. →Raul654 21:13, May 31, 2004 (UTC)

"H" is not exactly an abbreviation of "hentai" (see hentai), but fine. It does need to have "anime" in it, though, because we probably want categories for manga and games at some point. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 21:38, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Placement of disambiguation links

Justin, I posted my suggestion for placement of disambiguation links to Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation, as you proposed.

[edit] Why circumflexes instead of macrons are seen in Shonen Jump articles

Justin, articles relating to Viz' Shonen Jump use circumflexes instead of macrons because Viz uses circumflexes instead of macrons to mark long vowels in Shonen Jump. Therefore, for articles that are about Shonen Jump manga, circumflexes are used there. WhisperToMe 08:04, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I don't particularly care what Viz does; this is Wikipedia, not Shonen Jump. I also don't happen to know offhand every series that runs in the English Shonen Jump. I won't bother redoing stuff that's been reverted though. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 00:34, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
The main reason is that "proper noun"s on Shonen Jump often have the circumflex used. A few examples that have Wikipedia articles:
However, Viz can be inconsistent with using them, so not all instances of a said name WILL have the circumflex. But if it has an instance, it should be used. WhisperToMe 20:52, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edit attribution

Hi Justin. The edit from your IP has now been reattributed to your username. Regards — Kate Turner | Talk 00:26, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)

[edit] Data Management Wiki Committee

Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under Data management.

Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the Data Management Wiki Committee.

The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of Data management are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles.

If you are willing to join the committee, please go to Category_talk:Data_management and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list.

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Warez

thanx. — Rickyrab | Talk 20:35, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sandra Hess

Hi! Thank you for letting me know about the issue. I'm pretty new in Wikipedia and just thought of contributing a little. I've considered your suggestions and have edited the pages.

[edit] Doujinshi

Doujinshi gets 14 times as many hits in Google compared to Dojinshi. I think this is probably enough to be an "accepted romanization". Let me know what you think. Ashibaka (tock) 03:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

It's silly to accuse American sites containing the word "doujinshi" of being more porn-focused than Japanese websites or alternative spellings, without doing a good comparison of the two sets of results. But I agree with your "scholarly reference" thing, so I guess it can be kept this way for at least another year or so.
And what we need here is a larger Internet. Ashibaka (tock) 22:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Jimbo Wales to Attend San Diego Meetup on October 18 2005

Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

  1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
  2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
  3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BDAbramson T 04:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request

hi DopefishJustin, you helped edit once the Kimono article. There is a slight dispute going on about the Talk:Junihitoe, maybe you care to share some input? with kind regards... Gryffindor 18:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thats why we have more than one pair of eyes looking at things. I didn't see the one tiny line of italic text at the bottom. Usually my checks for copyvios are "Uhh the very first edit of this article looks kind of polished... *cuts and pastes the first line of text into google*". --Syrthiss 03:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Solomon picture

Hmm...the picture was taken on my camera by someone else. To whom does the copyright belong? AdamSolomon 02:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably the person who took the photo, unless it was like a handoff to a stranger or something. You're probably OK just licensing it yourself. The important part is that it's not ineligible for copyright so it shouldn't be tagged as such. DopefishJustin 15:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Language tag for hanja fields

On your tagging of character fields to show Korean variants:

I think User:IGEL did that earlier in the English Wikipedia after we had already done the same thing a lot in the German WP last year. However, if I remember correctly, he said the community rejected it for some reason (I don't see how there should be anything wrong with it), so don't be surprised if the same happens to your edits.

[edit] Conversions to UTF-8 - Please, don't do them!!!

Hi! For heaven's sake, please, revert all the changes you have done through AWB :-( They are a nightmare for maintainers, as many distinct characters are rendered in the same way or not depending on the font you use. And this means that many errors in the articles source code become virtually undetectable!!! --Gennaro Prota 22:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

If you have a specific page that you disagree with the changes on, let me know and I might change it back (or you could do it yourself), but generally the maintainability of the page is improved due to not having to puzzle out inscrutable character numbers. If you really need to distinguish which character codes are being used (which is rarely necessary), copy and paste into a real Unicode editor like BabelPad. This has already been discussed in more detail at User talk:Curpsbot-unicodify; since Wikipedia started using UTF-8 some time ago, all edits where people just type Unicode characters are going to come out as UTF-8 and not HTML codes so there's not much point in preserving them in old pages. DopefishJustin 22:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I have a number of pages related to punctuation in my watch list. I would say all of them benefit from having the character references. Suppose for instance on your machine, with the fonts and the browser you use etc., the typewriter apostrophe (U+0027) and the punctuation apostrophe (U+2019) are rendered the same way (quite likely): you'll never detect if someone typed one instead of the other in the edit box! With the numeric references instead you see at least that they are different and that both are rendered as apostrophes. Granted, in some cases the numeric reference is a non-sense (example: '°F', you can directly type that), but in many others they are much better than having the hard-coded glyph. For an example, look at the revert I did here on April 15: to see what the character typed by Wikipeditor actually was I had to paste it into an editor and decode it! Weren't the page in my watch list I would have never noticed the error. Believe me, I'm not a newbie as it concerns maintenance issues. --Gennaro Prota 00:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, I would be careful. See this example for a clear apostrophe problem that makes the text bold if numeric references aren't used: Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser#Serious unicodify problem. --J. J. 14:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
That's why I vet every change before allowing AWB to make it. I specifically don't change markup-sensitive characters like apostrophes, ampersands, and greater-than and less-than signs. DopefishJustin 00:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek script

Thank you for all your efforts in implementing proper Greek script! I'll try to do the same from now on. Best regards PHG 10:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Allegations of sock puppetry on the Center for Science in the Public Interest page

Allegations of sock puppetry have been made against some of the accounts that have edited the Center for Science in the Public Interest page. I have instigated the wiki process for handling such allegations. See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/David Justin. As someone who has contributed to the CSPI page, please add your views to the Comments section. You have up to 10 days to make comments on the allegation.

[edit] Mendelian inheritance vandalism

Oops, apologies for deleting your vandalised contributions. This was actually a manual reversion, i.e. not using VP, but the vandalism had been complicated by your subsequent edit (to restore previous vandalism ...), which I too hastily decided was a part-revert of the multiple edits by various I.P's, when in fact it actually related to edits made on 26th October. In future I will be more careful in these situations. Again apologies, and let's hope your contribution is here to stay this time. --apers0n 22:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
