Sorry

Got mad, I was just in a bad mood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.107.74 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 22 Oct 2007

Commas

You once again put commas back into the Silver sentence on the List of proposed Jack the Ripper suspects. Commas don;t work the way you had them in there.

You had:

"In 2007 South African historian, Charles van Onselen, claimed in his book, The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath, that Joseph Silver was Jack the Ripper."

When you put commas around a phrase you are indicating that the separated phrases are exactly equivalent. Commas arond the author name in reference to "South African historian" would mean that Onselen is the ONLY South African historian. Similarly, commas around the book title would mean that he ONLY has one book and that it was this one. Onselen has written more than one book.

Normally I wouldn't take the time to explain this to you, but since you went and put the incorrect commas back in even after they were fixed I felt I should let you know so you wouldn't do that anymore. DreamGuy 19:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

At first, when I read your comment, I was amazed that I was getting lectured on comma usage, when I know damn well how to use a comma. Well, apparently, I don't. (As I type this, I'm all self-conscious on my comma usage, by the way.)
Anyway, I do have a question.
This is what is currently on the page:
"In 2007 South African historian Charles van Onselen claimed in the book The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath that Joseph Silver was Jack the Ripper. "
I understand my mistake with the commas I insisted on putting around Charles van Onselen being incorrect. However, shouldn't there be a comma after 2007 and around the title of the book? Maybe not. I've obviously been wrong before. Jauerback 13:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
The one after 2007 is sort of an optional one. Different sources disagree on whether one should go there or not, minly because some stylebooks prefer a lot fewer commas than others just in general. But it does sound like there could be a pause there and it wouldn't hurt anything to have one there.
Around the title of the book, no, for the same reason you don't put it around the author name. If you say "the book" comma "(name of book)" that's saying there is only one book so that the two phrases are exactly the same. If he had only ever written one book and it said "his book" and "(name of book)" then there would be a comma. Or if it were "his newest book" because that would be exactly the same, because he only has one book of his that's the most recently released. Commas in these cases are kind of like grammatical equal signs. DreamGuy 21:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oberweis.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Oberweis.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 18:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Oberweis.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Oberweis.gif. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

prod

There is no point in replacing a prod tag after it has been removed--if someone objects, they will do so again. If you continue to think Vivisimo should be deleted, AfD is the place. DGG (talk) 19:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Cyrus Robinson

  • The Airman featured in this article is, in fact, notable in the field of digital forensics. The "original work" are items that SrA Robinson contributed to the field of digital forensics. Government sources are allowed to be cited as references. The references are not self-published. Further, not all items are Test and Evaluations. There are several study/white papers referenced as well as links to references showing SrA Robinson's selection for enlisted commissioning programs (only 29% selection rate for the year 2007). Also, there are references to outside biographical sources and to condirm SrA Robinson briefing at the Annual DoD Cyber Crime Conference, a conference with over 700 attendees. While SrA Robinson may not be an international superstar, he is certainly a key (and notable) figure in the field of digital forensics and the United States Air Force. Further, the original article that was deleted did, in fact, fail to meet notability requirements. That article, posted by Cyrus Robinson himself, was done so at my request because I did not yet have a wikipedia account, and it was poorly written. After superbeecat's original complaint, I created an article myself and in my own interest. superbeecat is implying that Cyrus has a fake "sock" account set up to create this article. Cyrus' IP address is in the Reston, Va-Washington, DC area. I am posting from an IP address outside of Wichita, KS. superbeecat is making false allegations concerning this article, and seems to have a personal grudge with this article. Following the "good faith" and "edit boldly" policies set forth by Wikipedia, I argue that for the general interest of the digital forensic and United States military communities, this article should remain listed. Please undelete this page.Imnotfamous 19:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not an admin. Take it up a deletion review. Jauerback 22:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Jim Cramer Pic

Hi, I realize my Jim Cramer pic is a bit rough :) I felt it was somewhat useful, in the absence of any licensed picture. I just threw it together quickly while at work. I'll try to work on something better over the weekend Pboyle11 07:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Simple, go to WP:AIV if you need to report a user for obvious vandalism. Acalamari 22:07, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Seeking assistance

Thank you for helping revert vandalism on the Bruce Lee article. The user WalAloe has been re-adding improperly-sourced information. Could you help keep an eye on the page and revert any dubious information? Thank you. Shawnc 06:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Online

It no longer fails WP:WEB and doesn't fail WP:NOT. There is no longer a reason for its deletion. Also, it was not merged, it was simply deleted, with only a link to its site being in Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.VDZ 18:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

"This Is Why I'm Hot" Remix section

Why did you remove my entry for the dis/parody "This Is Why You Suck" by Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel? If you need a reference, they have it up on their MySpace page, the link can also be found on the wikipedia entry for the band that you're also contesting. I will not be online for the rest of today to defend this, so hopefully you can hold off on deletion until tomorrow so I don't have to re-type everything if you decide to toss it. Thanks. Ballstatic 15:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't actually delete the pages. I'm not an admin. However, I removed your entry about their parody reference, because the band doesn't appear notable -- that's why I nominated their page for Speedy Deletion, as well. Jauerback 15:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of "This Is Why I'm Hot" Remix section

That's funny because I see all sorts of comments in this section concerning bands that don't have notability or even a wikipedia entry. If you are delting my entries, why not delete all of the others? I also don't see why none of the "admins" are bothering to read the history logs on the pages for A Band of Orcs which keeps getting marked for deletion even though the notability was confirmed by Merope. Also, I don't see how there's a lack of notability with [Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel|Doo Doo Stretch & Scrotum Shrivel (band)] when they are directly associated with two notable bands (A Band of Orcs, and Former Fat Boys) especially considering they are currently working on an MP3 single with Former Fat Boys.

Thanks for the tip. Jauerback 11:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Mayhem Morearity thoughts

First, great username. Second, thanks for soliciting my opinion- I appreciate the opportunity to dole out a bit of advice. Third, I certainly think that article is deleteable (if that's a word), and would get a delete majority at AfD. It's got no sources, it's not NPOV, and none of the Google hits I looked at seemed to have much reliability. If you end up AfDing it, I'll certainly be there to back you up. -- Kicking222 03:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I think it's because the spoonerism creates "BauerJack", so the letter switch itself isn't as easily recognizable. I'm not a huge 24 guy- I loved season 5, which was the first season I ever watched, and then quit on season 6 after about five episodes. Anyway, I'm about to comment on the AfD- thanks for the heads up. -- Kicking222 15:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Whew.

I know what you mean, way too often. Carlossuarez46 03:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I fully support what you said there. See my comment at the afd. DGG (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

AfD for Westfield Manukau City

After this AfD had commenced and community comment commenced, you attempted to include five further articles within this debate for deletion consideration. As discussion had commenced, it is inappropriate for these to be considered after discussion has commenced. In the meantime, I have struck out the five nominations, and I would encourage you to open a seperate AfD which proposes all five articles for deletion. If you need any help with this or have any questions to ask, please do not hesitate to contact me via my talk page. Cheers, Thewinchester (talk) 12:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, you're partly correct, so I won't argue with you. I didn't "attempt" to add five (or four?) more articles to this AFD. That was my intent the entire time. I hadn't reached step III of the AFD listing process where I listed it on the the articles for deletion page with {{subst:afd3 | pg=PageName}}. Apparently, someone saw the AFD tag on one the articles and gave his two cents. So, your assessment is accurate, but not entirely... either way, I won't fight what you did. Jauerback 13:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
That's totally cool, just making sure you don't cheese anyone else off. The issue of shopping centres on a number of projects in this part of the world has been quite a hot topic of late to the point where a few projects are getting a little cheesed off. I've spent countless hours doing research into centes or improving articles to either get them up to standard or show them the door. Thewinchester (talk) 13:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

3RR

As was pointed out to you at WP:AN/3RR, I didn't revert more than 3 times in 24 hours. Even if I had, 3RR doesn't apply to removing poorly sourced contentious material about a living person per WP:BLP; I brought up BLP on the talk page and my edit summaries, to no avail.--Cúchullain t/c 23:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

User talk:72.68.180.204

Hi, I hope you don't mind, but I changed the warning tag on User talk:72.68.180.204 to a uw-b4, because I've already given the guy three previous warnings and it doesn't look like he's going to stop vandalizing, I'd hate to have to start over again with the different vandal levels. At least now, if he does it one more time, I can report him to WP:AIV. Corvus cornix 18:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Happy vandal hunting. Corvus cornix 18:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Territorial Pissings

Song pages that have not been released as a single for any artist or album do not sustain enough merit to be standalone articles, and are therefore redirected to the album article. This was not "vandalism". NSR77 TC 20:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD cases have been raised before. However, making a separate case for each article is overwhelmingly tedious and cumbersome. Such song articles are generally filled with POV riff raff and unverified speculation. Though, thanks for the concern. NSR77 TC 20:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Ough, whatever. I will ask you, though, not to re-add the mistakes of warnings; not only are they incorrect but I have the right to do as I please with my talk page. NSR77 TC 20:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Existentialism Edit

Jauerback:

I did not vandalize the page on Existentialism. I noticed an obscenity and deleted it.

Hi there, I contested this speedy tag. I'd erase it, but you may have a non-obvious reason. It appears to be a real place. Bearian 20:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

handgun page editing

do i really have to cite a source for my information when the statement is from personal observation from watching well over 100 deaths. the information is verifiable by any health care expert who has worked with critical patients, or trauma victims. any 1st year medical student can tell you that consciousness is unsustainable without a mean arterial pressure of 65mmhg. i would like to know the real validity, and source of the cited French Revolution decapitation studies from 1792, and how they scientificly measured the results of the study for their conclusions.

Yes, you do. It's called WP:OR which Wikipedia does not allow. Jauerback 02:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, Jauerback, for the warning. I'm aware of the three-revert rule. I believe so far I only have one reversion on each point. If you look at the Talk page, you'll see that I'm very eager to work via consensus and have proposed dispute resolution. Maybe you could protect the page while we do this. I feel that Orlady is making edits that are a violation of NPOV. He seems to have an agenda, and I'm completely neutral to this topic. I have no interest in Warnborough College, other than to see that the article conforms to Wikipedia guidlines. Thanks! TimidGuy 14:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks much for the tip on how to have the article protected. TimidGuy 15:00, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Rudget RfA

Dear Jauerback,

Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed unsuccessfully with 39 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. I would have liked to gain some experience of being an admin, but it wasn't to be. At least I gained some valuable time there and will use my knowledge picked up to my next candidacy. I would like to say once again, thank you for voting and I hope to see you at my next request be it a nomination or self-induced, I hope I don't get as many questions!
