JEB90 is trying to take a wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia on 1 June. Most likely, however, JEB90 won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier, possibly even making some small edits every now and then anyway. |

[edit] TW warnings
It is usual to escalate the warnings. See "User talk:Massa174788", who already had a final warning. The next step was to report him to administrators. Snowman (talk) 18:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Fair point. I tend to just count the number of warnings and put in the next one (although, I confess to miscounting in this case). I hadn't noticed that his first warning was a "level 3". Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

- I sometimes rapidly advance the warnings when the vand is blatant, often going straight to a 2nd level warning, which does not have the "welcome" text. This persons vand was bad and doubly bad because he was writing on articles on living people, so the someone made the first warning a level 3. Snowman (talk) 18:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Which is all well and appropriate, although I don't think any of the warnings had been made by you. All I'm saying is that, while I appreciated your comment, I didn't intentionally not escalate the warnings; I just didn't read so good. Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I did my part and I reported it, as he already had a final warning. Snowman (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, thank you for your vigilance. Lordjeff06 (talk) 18:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on the invite list. BrownBot (talk) 03:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD of Buzzy
Can i suggest you add A Abelha to the Buzzy Afd page? I don't see the need for a separate Afd nomination. If Buzzy is deleted, the closing admin can then delete A Abelha at the same time with no fuss. Thanks TheProf | Talk 14:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, i see thats already been done. Thank you and have a nice day :-) TheProf | Talk 14:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] John Jackson
What does the tag mean? He qualified for the Olympics by beating the PanAm champ.German.Knowitall (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
see John Jackson (your discussion page)German.Knowitall (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- It was just that I was skeptical of the notability of an article about an amateur athlete who had no real secondary source citations and was a future (as opposed to actual) Olympic athlete. I don't pretend to know anything about boxing, so I tossed the tag on there so that someone who knew more about these things might take a look. Lordjeff06 (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- I had a look and he has represented his country in boxing and also qualified for the Beijing Olympics so I think that is notable. Is that OK? thank you.--Gueracuco (talk) 09:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Lordjeff06 (talk) 21:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tomfoolery at The Weber Brothers
Just FYI, the creator and an anonymous IP have been removing tags from this article that you recently tagged for speedy. I'm not entirely sure it's an A7, but it does look and feel awfully promotional and fishy. Happy to take it to AfD maybe if you still think it's deletable? Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC).
- Strange, I was about to leave you a message at the same time asking if yours was a reaction to mine or what =). AfD sounds good (hell, I won't interfere with another speedy, although you'd have to watch the article to make sure the tag didn't mysteriously vanish), and I concur that it looks non-notable. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC).
-
- Nice work. If it's still around tomorrow morning when I wake up, I'll check to see if it's still about, and if so I'll make sure it's been fixed up and un-copyvioed. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Admin coaching request status
 |
You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >1,750 edits & 4 months of activity) on Wikipedia before you can know for certain your ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. Therefore, at this time, your application for Admin Coaching has been declined.
My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Malinaccier (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC) |
I looked through your last 500 edits and would like to give you a more personalized suggestion. I would advise you to focus more on article creation, expansion, and upkeep. Many RFA contributors look for this in a potential admin. Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
