[edit] Question

Hi Neutron! Redwolf24 isn't on at the moment, but I saw your question, and since I'm a good friend of his, I'm going to answer it for him.

The difference is that one is for you to talk to us (in a way) and the other is for us to talk to you. Your talk page (this page) is for other users to leave you notes (and if you want, for you to respond back to them). If you have a question for a user, you should go to thier talk page and ask it. (Like you did for Redwolf24; see, you've got it down pat!)

Your user page (the other page) is for you to tell us things about you. You can look at other's pages to get ideas (mine is here and Redwolf24's is here). If you have questions about how someone put something on their page (images for example) you can either ask them on their talk page, or you can click on "edit this page" and see if you can figure it out. We have a page about user pages (Wikipedia:User page) so you can go there and read more if you'd like. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask Redwolf24 or I either one; we're both friendly.

Oh, and by the way, WELCOME!-- Essjay · Talk 18:52, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bridgewater Township, New Jersey

Hi Neutron! I'm happy to help. First, let me say, I read the edit and felt it was inappropriate, so I reverted it. (Sorry if you were wanting to do that.) As advice, I would say, feel free to revert on sight anything you feel is not NPOV. The best thing to do is to leave a note (like mine) stating why you removed it, and what you think could be done to make it acceptable. You can discuss the change (I've done that in the past) if you think some users may believe the edit is acceptable; where you believe the edit was inappropriate and believe the majority of users will agree with you, it is acceptable to revert first and discuss later.

Technically, there isn't any "dispute" at this point. Articles are frequently subject to this sort of "editing," and the result is usually a revert and nothing more happens. Disputes develop where one editor adds text like this and refuses to abide by community consensus that it be removed, or where no such consensus exists. I have fired the first volley, let us see if the anon will return to create a dispute. If s/he does not, then all is well. If s/he does, let me know and I will involve myself again.

If you have any other questions, or if my answer wasn't clear, let me know! -- Essjay · Talk 02:52, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chief Justices

Just FYI since you are the Chief Wikipedian of New Jersey, I have just created articles (very small stubs actually) on two Chief Justices of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Arthur T. Vanderbilt (1948-57) and Joseph Weintraub (1957-73). I had recently created one on Weintraub's successor who lasted only a few weeks, Pierre P. Garven (1973). This clears up some red links in the New Jersey Supreme Court article as well as extending the succession box back in time a bit. It also completes the series on Chief Justices that New Jersey has had since the Supreme Court became the highest court in 1948 (Constitution of 1947). Although the title Chief Justice existed before that, I think it is a natural break-point, before which substantial research would be involved. In the succession box on Vanderbilt's page I did not put a predecessor but rather indicated he was the first CJ under the 1947 Constitution. Neutron 21:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Added note, I had missed the fact that there was no article on Robert Wilentz (which I couldn't believe considering how recently he had been CJ) so I created that one, too. Neutron 21:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the title and thanks for creating the articles. I agree that post 1947 is a useful break point, and if we could cover the past 60 years, we can work backwards from there. I had added Chief Justices to the NJ Supreme Court article and we seem to be closing the loop on this subject. Thanks for your efforts. We may be able to find material from obituaries for some of these guys. Let me know if I can help with anything. Alansohn 22:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
