User talk:Jake Nelson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello Jake, welcome to Wikipedia. Good luck with the proofreading. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. There is a sandbox which you can use to experiment in. If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela

Thanks for the welcome. It's proving interesting so far... -- Jake 02:28, 2003 Jul 30 (UTC)

Nowhere. My point was that it's not worth the effort. It's not worth the time it takes to type the entry, or the disk space required to store it, or the time taken by various people who must now read it. It is a valid redirect, we have a policy about that. -- Tim Starling 06:38, Aug 6, 2003 (UTC)

Hi Jake -- welcome to WP... Despite the format problems, I liked your comments on the list. Have fun, and dont forget to take the WP:HOLIC test, when your'e ready. ;) -戴&#30505sv 07:59, Sep 11, 2003 (UTC)

Why do you find it necessary to make personal attacks on the people who add items to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, instead of making a reasoned discussion on the merits of the articles themselves? RickK 05:38, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)

User:RK is different from User:RickK. -- User:Cyan 02:32, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)


Jake, I just read on the mailing list that you like public domain better than GFDL. Maybe you want to join the rising tide of those Wikipedians who release all their writings in the public domain? See user:Toby Bartels, user:Lee Daniel Crocker and my own user page. Cheers, AxelBoldt 14:46, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

Hi, Jake. I changed your user name from 'Jakenelson' to 'Jake Nelson' as you requested. If you want to become user:Jake you'll have to discuss it with les_coles@yahoo.com - who currently has that user name - or wait long enough for us to be certain he changed his mind about using ever using his Wikipedia account. --Uncle Ed 23:13, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Sysop promotion

You're now a sysop. I predict you will now feel the weight of responsibility falling heavily upon your shoulders. But you will also experience an upwelling of strength to carry that burden! --Uncle Ed 23:30, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)


I hope your job hunting is going well. I know all about job hunting, mostly unsatisfactory job hunting. RickK 03:38, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I noticed that you commented on some controversial computing issues. There's now a new Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing and Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Controversial articles to help form consensus on computing topics. Please consider watching the talk pages there and using them to let others know of issues you believe merit peer review. JamesDay 15:34, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Jake! Best wishes. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 00:22, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Minneapolis meetup

Hello Jake. I'm contacting you since you are listed at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Minnesota. I'm going to be at a conference in Minneapolis and am planning a Wikipedia meetup for October 8. If you are near Minneapolis at that time, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Minneapolis. Angela. 20:52, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hiring

AaronRoe: Jake, I noticed you are unemployed. Please give me a call MindTouch.

[edit] Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Here's a tasty Birthday cake. Best wishes to you! Hope you enjoy your day. Now, get on out there and have some fun! ;)

Happy Birthday Jake! Hope you have a great day. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 15:22, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hereditary baronies

Ah yes, that was temp page when I was fact-checking the list. It's unnecessary now and can be safely deleted. Best, Mackensen (talk) 18:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problem help

I posted the following to Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance) but it has now been 7 days without a response and the request stands to get archived. Since you helped with the Kenji Siratori copyvio I was hoping you could either help with this or point me to someone who can take care of it:

Black Rock Rangers was originally a copyright violation (see Talk:Black Rock Rangers). All versions up through this one are a copyvio of this page. Because I was unfamiliar with the copyright violation policy I simply rewrote the page rather than flagging it and rewriting it as a temp (I figured that out just after, and did things right with Kenji Siratori). Anyway, what is the procedure now? How do I get an admin to clean out the old versions? Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 20:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and I am sorry about this -- I know now how to properly flag a copyvio if I find one. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 09:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of this so promptly. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 10:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

== Ooze

[edit] Ooze

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Ooze , suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Advice requested

Hi Jake. I've been attempting to overview and tidy up the geography cats which involve the places where people live. There appear to be two useful ways of doing it - by region, and by size. Organising by size is difficult because User:Hmains uses the term settlements to cover all sizes of communities, and has altered dictionary definitions [2] to fit his own understanding of the term - [3]. However, community appears to be the term used most often to describe the places where people live, regardless of size. This is the definition of community - [4]. Hmains has reverted much of my work, and insists on settlements being the term we should use - basing it on this decision, which was a declined proposal to rename Settlements by region to Populated places by region. What do you think? Is settlement the appropriate term for covering human communities ranging from well established cities down to refuge camps? Is Human community a viable alternative? Are there other choices? I have started a discussion here and here, with the above wording, but no response as yet. I have left this message on the talk pages of active Geography Project members. And then on this page. I am a bit lost as the best place to discuss this issue. I don't want to delete or rename any category. And I don't want to get into a revert war. I'd like an open debate to reach sensible consensus. I'm now leaving this message on the pages of WikiProject Category members. Can you advise? SilkTork 19:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
