Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

Hello Jet123! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some pages to facilitate your involvement. Happy editing! -- Kukini hablame aqui 23:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

NPOV

It would help if you actually wrote what your NPOV concerns are with all these articles. I'm sure that most of your NPOV tags will be reverted unless you provide explanation on the respective talk pages. Gdo01 00:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Which is funny, because I was just coming over here to tell him I had reverted his NPOV tag on the John Doe article because there was no explanation on the talk page. Jet, I invite you to put it back if you really feel it needs worked on, but you do need to discuss it on the talk page as well. Tell us what you feel is wrong! --Reverend Loki 17:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Invitation

Hello! I saw your edits to Transwoman and would like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies. We'd be dleighted to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, Jet, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.
  • If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

 :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 01:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Request for adminship

I want to be an administrator because I get the privileges and I can do something else. I need help for adminship please!. Jet123 20:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Jet, in order to become an administrator, you will need a great deal more edits, to get to know policy and procedures within wikipedia, and then go through the process of requesting to become an administrator, where your work and activity will be evaluated by other users within wikipedia. See WP:RFA for more insight. --Kukini hablame aqui 02:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
And specifically read through Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship and Wikipedia:Administrator's reading list. Those should answer your questions. - Taxman Talk 12:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jet, I have now closed your request for adminship per our snowball claude. Your request was clearly not going to pass and no new comments were being made by those who were in opposition. Further to the advice given by Taxman and hablame aqui, I would suggest answering the questions in a much more thorough manner next time you make a request for adminship - obviously I would also recommend gaining a suitable amount of experience in the interim. I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. Yours, Rje 12:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

It is standard procedure to close requests that are clearly going to fail, see WP:SNOW. In order to pass, your RfA would have required 40 unopposed support votes from the point that I closed it; there was no chance of this happening because, as you experienced, candidates with under 1000 edits tend to be opposed out of hand. Requests from what are perceived to be under-qualified candidates tend to culminate in "pile-ons". We close such RfAs before the pile-on occurs because it is of no benefit to anyone, least of all the candidate. I hope you find this useful. Rje 11:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Adminship

You should not try to become an Admin. without knowing what it entails. You need a large amount of experience with the technical and policy-oriented elements of Wikipedia. Michael 19:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup user page

I want to cleanup my user page. It is a mess. I will need some volunteer to edit my user page please. Jet123 04:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I took a shot at it. What do you think? —EncMstr 04:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

MedCom Nomination

Per the two oppose rule, your nomination to the Mediation Committee has been declined. Your nomination has been delisted and archived here. Please note that a new policy was recently enacted in which a user cannot reapply within 3 months of their last declined nomination. However, we recommend that you take this opportunity to use the comments made at your nomination to improve yourself not only as a potential mediator, but as an editor of Wikipedia in general. Thanks again for your interest.

On behalf of the Mediation Committee, ^demon[omg plz] 22:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi Jet, there are no rules governing when you may or may not run for adminship again. However, I would urge you to wait at least a couple of months as you will not pass if you run at this stage: no candidate has ever been promoted with your edit count or length of editing time. Further to this, running twice in your first six weeks may prejudice any future RfA (some people do oppose candidates they perceive to be too "eager", not that I agree with this myself). Generally speaking candidates with under 1000 edits and three months of editing time will be rejected out of hand at RfA, and most successful candidates have significantly higher totals than these. You might also want to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship for further information about the process. Yours, Rje 13:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Each new request for adminship should be made on a new subpage, in your case this would be in the form Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jet123 2. We do this so that we can maintain an easily readable record of all past discussions, making it easier to refer to them in later discussions/requests etc. As such your orignal page should not be modified, but it does not preclude you running for adminship again (there are many admins who were not promoted until their second, third or fourth RfAs). Rje 12:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

User page editing

I got help from User:Sango123 in developing my user page and talk page. You might want to message Sango or some of those that are in ongoing contact with page designing. best, --Kukini hablame aqui 23:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Edit user page

I want a user almost same as yours. Keep the content the same but put the portal on my user page ok. Jet123 23:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean my userpage? I would like to redesign your userpage; however, I am also having a slight difficulty when it comes to some Wikitext. I am not a renovator; I do anti-vandalism. If you need someone to renovate your userpage for you, please add your name to the renovatees section in Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help/Trading Spaces. Cheers! — zero » 02:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for adminship

Hi there. I have decided to remove your request for adminship, as it was at ten oppose opinions and none in favor, with very little chance to turn around. If you are really interested in becoming an administrator, I suggest you to begin participating in deletion discussions, to begin gaining experience, as reverting vandalism is not the only thing administrators do. Keep it up! -- ReyBrujo 05:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Jet123. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 17:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jet123! Want me to Adopt you? if so contact me on my talk page. WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 12:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Trading Spaces Program

(Added you to the program.)

Under Renovation

Hello, Jet123, and thank you for signing up to participate in the trading spaces program. As you requested to have your user page renovated by another user, Andrew Hampe will be renovating your userpage. Please contact Andrew Hampe on their talk page about the renovating. The renovating will be listed at Trading Spaces: Undergoing Renovation, please feel free to update the status as it changes. Enjoy! --~~~~




I need some ideas of what you would like before I begin as I don't know how to rebuilt it. I need some color ideas and I need some content to put on the page. You can check on my progress at my Workshop once I start. --Andrew Hampe Talk 23:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Check my talk page--Andrew Hampe Talk 23:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Again, I need some ideas before i can begin. Please post them here. --Andrew Hampe Talk 16:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Please keep the conversation about updates to your page here, It's hard to follow what you are saying. What exactly do you need? I have already created a body page. It's at User:Jet123/Body. --Andrew Hampe Talk 16:10, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Stop posting a new section on my talk page, and just talk here. I did not merge any pages, i'm just including them on to the pages like a template. --Andrew Hampe Talk 19:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

How is it not up to your "Quality Standards"??? --Andrew Hampe Talk 20:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I need help creating three pages; the autographs, vandal area and workshop. Jet123 (Talk) 21:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I am done creating those pages. Jet123 (Talk) 04:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Page Updates so far...

This is a list of things I have done so far...

  • Created and set up a wrapper for the main user page
  • Created and set up a wrapper for the user talk page
  • Formatted the userboxes page
  • Formatted the sandbox, which required a different menu template to be used, User:Andrew Hampe/Templates/Menu7
  • Formatted award page
  • Formatted picture page
  • Reformatted userboxes page
  • Finished.

Adoption.

Sure. Add {{Adoptee|Jet123}} to your userpage and it's official. Please feel free to badger me with as many requests for help, advice or questions as you desire. Here's to a happy adoption. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I have accepted your request of adoption. Now you have to put the userbox on your page so everyoen else knows. Then I'll put a userbox on mine. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
All done. Welcome adoptee. :D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

If you don't know the answer to that question, you shouldn't stand. Wait til you've graduated from the program and know your way around, and then start thinking about it again. There's a lot you can do to help Wikipedia without being an admin, like work on articles that need cleanup. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

No, if you want a bot now go for it. Jyst bear in mind I can't help you with it. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit summary

No, that's fine if you made a misake. Nice userpage, though I think you should delete your autographs page. Personally, I strongly disapprove of them, which isn't a reason in itself to delete, but the mood on Wikipedia is swinging against it, and you may find you lose respect in some quarters, particularly if you start asking people to sign it.

I think the problem might be in one of the templates you use at the top. Look for an open <small> tag. John Reaves (talk) 03:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but Andrew Hampe edit my page and that the way is the page looks. Jet123 (Talk) 03:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Archiving

You have two options. I manually archive, which means when I decide my page has got too long, I move it to Usertalk:Dev920/Archivewhatever and just remove the redirect (though I have a talkpage header now that I place on each new talkpage. Or you can have a bot automatically archive for you. Try looking at this. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I just move it myself. I hit the move button above, shift it to User talk:Dev920/Archive 1 and then remove the redirect left behind. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Jet123. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:CC-logo.svg) was found at the following location: User:Jet123. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 19:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

AWB Approval

Hi,

Could you possibly explain what you're seeking to do with your bot and why you need AWB? I realize that this isn't a formal bot approval (that happens on WP:BRFA), but I need to know before I can approve you. Thanks, alphachimp 04:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I need AWB because I want to run a bot. I don't know to program, so I need AWB. I will go to WP:BRFA to get it approve. Jet123 (Talk) 04:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
