User talk:Jay Gatsby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, Jay Gatsby, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
I removed your speedy deletion tag from Alan Macfarlane, as the article in question clearly describes the significance of the subject. In fact, it seems to me that he meets the WP:PROF and WP:BIO standards (as an author), so this page probably wouldn't be deleted even in a full debate. Anyway, just wanted to let you know while I was welcoming you. :)
Again, welcome! Mangojuicetalk 04:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves
Hi Jay,
For simple uncontroversial and obvious page moves, such as Principle of lateral contiuity -> Principle of lateral continuity there is no need to go through the Requested Moves page, you can simply do the move yourself by clicking the "move" button at the top of the page when you're logged in. In this case I've just made the move myself. Hope that helps, and welcome to Wikipedia! — SteveRwanda 17:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!
Hi, Jay! Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage today. Based on this edit, it looks like it was the creator of these deleted articles, one of which I nominated for speedy deletion yesterday. Anyway, thanks a lot for looking out for other users' pages! See you around! - Tapir Terrific 03:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KFC
Hi, i just wanted to clarify why i removed part of the KFC article. I removed the following: In the video game, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, one of the resturants is a spin-off of KFC. The resturant is called Cluckin Bell. Here is their song: Cock-a-doodle-do, it's time for chicken Cock-a-doodle-do, it's time for a feast Eat a ninety-piece bucket, you can tell He's been to Cluckin' Bell The chicken is a bird with a tiny brain So we assume he doesn't feel any pain We shrink their heads and we breed 'em fast Six wings, forty breasts, then they're gassed Cock-a-doodle-do, we're psychotic crazies Cock-a-doodle-do, factory farming's insane We denied it all before our stock price fell Come down to Cluckin' Bell! because it was in it's own seperate trivia section, when one was already present, and was already mentioned in said trivia section. Thanks, 202.7.183.131 10:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I didn't see the other Trivia section there. Jay Gatsby(talk) 10:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Well done
Hi Jay. I wanted to congratulate you for doing some really great work fighting vandalism. Here's a barnstar for your efforts. Wear it with pride! Sam Korn (smoddy) 10:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Sam! Jay Gatsby(talk) 11:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hi, Jay
Hello, Jay. Please don't let the multiple-IP user's personal attacks made against you (and others) at the CofCC page discourage you. We could still use your help! We are having the same problem with the same user at the Haley Barbour page, by the way. --Alsayid 00:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shirley Phelps-Roper
Please stop reverting to the version with the list of her siblings. Wikipedia is not for genealogical entries. See WP:NOT#DIR. 70.231.230.172 00:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No problem!
I wish I had such original vandals on my page. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 23:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] HEY
I noticed that you were fairly active on the Great Gatsby page. I recently noticed that you reverted my summary edit. Because I do not know all the rules that I might have broken, I'd be delighted to hear why my edit seemed innappropriate.
Other than that, you history checks you out as a fighter of vandalism. Great job.
