What policy does this break? Emails as usernames aren't disallowed. --Stephen 02:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

It's an email address which, like every email address, has a domain name. That domain name is his personal website, for him as an individual. He was not promoting anything, he was just adding content in his sphere of expertise. Have a look at WP:USERNAME#Inappropriate usernames, we block promotional usernames that are used to promote a group or company. --Stephen 21:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Anti-Americanism

Hi, you locked that article, but would you willing to explain to me, a newcomer, why, and why for so long, since I have not yet had an answer to his at: Talk:Anti-Americanism#March 2008. That would be great!  — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (speech has the power to bind the absolute) 14:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

AFD Comments

Hello. I saw that back in December you questioned the notability of the Bulldog Party article. I have nominated it for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulldog Party. I have also nominated another similar article here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bearcat Voice. Just thought that you might want to know about these AFDs. Cheers!--RedShiftPA (talk) 00:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Americanism

It's started again. User:Theo Pardilla attempted to revert to a copy from before the edit war, but that was reverted too. Getting slightly out of hand, and -- in my opinion, although it is one that's inexperienced with this part of WP -- I think mediation or arbitration may be required. Something, anyway, as it just doesn't seem to be dying down for any reasonable length of time. Regards, AllynJ (talk | contribs) 09:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Slakr has now re-protected. Just thought you might like to know, anyway. Out of interest, why did you unprotect it the first time? I wasn't entirely clear on the reasoning, but am interested in seeing it. :) Regards, AllynJ (talk | contribs) 09:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much, Jauerback

Thanks very much for the "repeatvandal" tag at User talk:204.69.4.82. Very much obliged. --Art Smart (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks also for today's 1-month block on 204.69.4.82. Truly appreciated. --Art Smart (talk) 14:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Super. If you haven't already, please also keep a watch on User talk:138.23.89.187, as the same vandal has been known to visit the other Riverside college campus to circumvent a block on 204.69.4.82. I have no idea why the vandal has a problem with Garrison Keillor‎, but he/she also likes to vandalize articles on Keillor's intellectual property, such as Lake Wobegon, A Prairie Home Companion‎, and A Prairie Home Companion (film). Thanks again for the watchful eye, and especially for your willingness to take appropriate action. --Art Smart (talk) 14:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

SIR CHARGE

Why did you get rid of sir charge. It is a fictional and stupid person after all--but it exists somewhere. I will make sure this page is rewritten.

Yup, they really did

Oh snap, the DEA is an admin

I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Notice of potential block - Redlance

Jauerback, this is about potential block notice on me. I'm sorry to have over stepped my limits.

"Kokarako Gumango" is another sockpuppet of Mudaliar, youonlylivetwice..etc. If you see his/her edits, it's nothing but reverting old edits of banned user (Mudaliar, youonlylivetwice). And I have invited for discussion but this user is only bent upon defiling this page. please see Sengunthar discussion.

IP vandalism is continuing in various forms, I also requested for indefinite page protection on 13th March and as well today. Please help by protecting indefinitely with my "last undo" -- Redlance —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redlance (talk • contribs) 14:43, 22 Mar 2008

My reply.

Redlance is a sock of Venki123 who was banned by the arbitration committee.[1]. Was also confirmed to be editing only by open proxies. I request you to block this user. Kokarako Gumango (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Ok, I have filed a case as you told:[2]Kokarako Gumango (talk) 06:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Jauerback, Thanks, I'm not sockpuppet of anyone and not using proxy IP. I'm using same IP and not using any proxy as KK. Earlier the accusation made by User:youonlylivetwice were found false, subsequently was cleared [3] [4] and he was banned. My interest is same "protecting the Sengunthar from defiling here in WIKI, so I edit Sengunthar and Mudaliar pages". Redlance (talk) 07:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Look closely at Redlance's initial post to your talk page: here [5], he says he has been cleared but then instead of giving the link to his talk page, he gives the link to the talk page of his sock Saedirof. Next he also admits to have edited the Mudaliar page, but as of 07:13, 23 March 2008 (the time of this post to your page) Redlance has never edited the Mudaliar article even once. If he is not using socks then how could he have edited Mudaliar page? Well there you go. Block him. Kokarako Gumango (talk) 08:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, Jauerback, The reference to User:Saedirof is to show that earlier too User:youonlylivetwice branded me and User:Saedirof together and how in the process User:youonlylivetwice got banned. I do have email from user:Thatcher who unblocked the IP address. I said, "edit" Redlance (talk) 11:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Please make your arguments at Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Venki123 and keep it off my talk page. I'm no longer involved in this. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 15:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't referring to that block. I copied what the other block said just changed the hours because of vandalism. (Rhinostampede (talk) 00:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC))

I was sad to hear of the passing of The King of Chicago Morning Radio. I think you posted a "references needed" tag. I wonder what references you're looking for? Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 16:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

AFK - You speak Africaans? :) I'll try to get back to the article at some point and see what to do. I'm thinking Roy Leonard also needs an article. We'll see about that. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 16:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Wally article

I cleaned up a bit, added a head and a couple subheads. Nice article. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 13:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. I noticed someone mentioned Roy Leonard above and that made me think of Family Classics and Frazier Thomas. Frazier really deserves a better article than that, maybe something we could work on in the future? Nobody of Consequence (talk) 14:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Is WGN sufficiently notable that we would be safe in creating articles on more of their present and/or past regular personalities? Also, I think it was Bob Collins who called Wally "The King". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 15:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I think as long as we can satisfy WP:N and WP:V we're good to go. All we need are reliable sources to do that (newspaper and/or magazine articles, books, etc.) Nobody of Consequence (talk) 16:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ben Affleck

Yes I was aware my edit to the page on Ben Affleck removed some text. It was clearly an April Fool's prank since it said he died in 1943, it was mildly amusing but not appropriate for an encyclopedia. 193.128.87.36 (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Oops, I just realised my mistake, it was an actual page about someone else with a similar name, my bad. Thanks for tidying up my mistake. My brain clearly isn't on full power today. 193.128.87.36 (talk) 15:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Jo Wiltshire

With all due respect, I can easily create an article on myself and establish suitable notability for inclusion; I feel that's exactly what this person has done. Only other edit was a nearly contentless nanostub on a book she wrote and published via a vanity press outlet. If you feel it's sutable for AfD, I'd like to request that you propose it as such if you wouldn't mind. It's been a long time since I've nominated an article and I'm unfamiliar with the new procedure. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks. Just want to do the right thing, here. PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll unblock assuming good faith and I'll keep an eye on him/her. I need to go really soon though and I won't be around again until about midnight UTC, so don't hesitate to reblock if it is just a spammer. Thanks for the note. James086^{Talk | Email} 13:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

{{reqphoto}}

Greg, I ran across your categorization by counties in California for {{reqphoto}} and this template. First of all, I think it's a great idea, and I'm slowly working on making Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Illinois the same. However, wouldn't it be easier/possible to make the template a general template for use on all states, rather than just California? Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 14:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I was toying with that idea. However, both the phrase "California counties" and the link to the Table of California counties do not repeat for each state. Also, my thinking was that each state WikiProject might want to revise their own "instructions for requested photographs in (state)" template. With Georgia WikiProject, we successfully modified their talk page template so that they no longer need {{reqphoto}}. I would be happy to do that for Illinois.

Dahl GA stuff

I added references in the places requested, what's left is to expand the lead and the music career section (or merge music into the lead somehow). Update: I went ahead and merged music into the introduction as the reviewer suggested. When you get a chance, have a look and let me know what you think.

Page Deletion Query

You recently deleted a userpage, claiming the page was full of advertising. I always thought that the user pages were designed for a little bit of knowledge about yourself. After browsing other user pages, which had the same written based content as my deleted page did, I ask you...why did you delete my page when there are plenty of other pages containing much worse content and are still up?

Template:HowtoreqphotoinUS

Hi Jauerback. I took your suggestion and made a general request photo template for use on all states, rather than just California. The template is at Template:HowtoreqphotoinUS. Examples of its use are at Boone County and Los Angeles. Since you are an admin, I could use your help to edit Template:WikiProject Illinois to add image location requests as I did for Template:WikiProject California and some other state WikiProjects. I'll contact you when I have the code ready for Template:WikiProject Illinois. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

I modified the template to include the categories. See Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Boise County, Idaho as an example implementation of the change. The category change also worked for Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Boone County, Illinois. (We probably shouldn't overwhelm state Wikiprojects categories by categorize each county category in a state Wikiproject. I removed the WikiProject Illinois from the Boone County, Illinois category. GregManninLB (talk) 15:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Illinois photo requests

RFPP

Can you please take another look at this? Unfortunately, the requestor was unclear in describing the situation and neglected to encompass the disruptive edits.

Edit War Warning

You recently warned me for edit warring because I edited the lead of the Fox News entry twice in one day. I am curious, did you also warn the person who reverted my edits twice? (TheNobleSith). If not, then why? Thank you. Jsn9333 (talk) 03:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

If I made 4 edits of the lead, then 2 of them were minor punctuation or mistakes of that sort. Do you take that into account? I am not attempting to "complain", but rather am seeking to understand this process better. I'm fairly new here. Thank you. Jsn9333 (talk) 04:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
