This user left Wikipedia in January 2007.

Plenty of reasons why. Most of all, it just isn't fun anymore. I'll save the lengthy analysis of what is wrong with wikipedia for another time.

See yall round.

[edit] Arb request

I think you have a misunderstanding about the sockpuppet, checkuser and privacy policies. There are many reasons that alternate accounts might be blocked, including trolling and other forms of disruption. Regardless, the accounts blocked by Jayjg need to be listed so that the arbitrators can evaluate the appropriateness of the individual blocks and use of checkuser. For example, if one account was being disruptive, this might justify a checkuser that would uncover the other accounts. On the other hand, if all the accounts were behaving within Wikipedia norms, there might be an argument that checkuser was inappropriate. It looks however, like they would prefer a direct complaint to arbcom-L at wikipedia dot org. Thatcher131 23:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Re-labeling the accounts is fine. Read the comments of the arbitrators so far. If the request is rejected, which seems likely, the next step would be either a complaint to the noticeboard or an admin-conduct RFC. Your best argument either way would be to say that you are not a banned user, that the accounts were never used for a banned purpose (such as vote stacking or false consensus on an article talk page) and that the edits that probably triggered the check (to Jews for Jesus) were not disruptive enough to justify checkusering you--therefore Jayjg's actions were inappropriate. I haven't checked the contribs of Enlightening so I don't know how good of an argument you are likely to be able to make. I also see you were caught using sockpuppets for a banned purpose back in February, so this will hurt your chances this time around. Thatcher131 23:45, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the comments

This stuff is tedious, isn't it? Mackan79 06:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Just, you might want to remove your retirement banners on your user and user talk pages... Homestarmy 23:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Siripongs art.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Siripongs art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Guidelines for notable references

In a discussion at Talk:Jews for Jesus#non-notable references making wikitext unreadable on 8 March 2007, you said: "Please review the guidelines for notable references." Are these different from the guidelines at Wikipedia:Reliable sources? I hadn't heard of notability for references before. Can you provide a citation for me? Thanks. --Bejnar 23:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Retirement notice

Hello, Justforasecond. I removed the retirement notices from your user and user talk pages, since it looks like you've returned and they're therefore a bit misleading. Feel free to return them should you decide to leave the project again. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 23:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I seem to have mistaken my months. I restored (and updated) the notice. My apologies. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
