Vandalism?
Hi there, rather than just simply yelling at me for so-called "vandalism" it would be nice if you could tell me exactly what this so called "false information" is that I seem to be adding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trip Johnson (talk • contribs) 23:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Neighbours Page
Hi again, can you please lock the Neighbours page because of Vandlisim it's been going on for ages because instead of writing long-running some on keeps writing anti-male or. man-hating it's really annoying coz. me o someother member have to change it like 5 times every day.Please Help Thanks Glamgirljaspreet101 (talk) 02:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Done... semi-protected for a week. This should definitely help, but if they come back after a week, just let me know and we can figure something out. Best! :) Jmlk17 02:56, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Help to revert
I put a lot of multiple "citation needed" tags on both Miss Universe and Miss World articles for the purpose of improving the verifiability since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which is based on reliable sources not truth. I can see that you have reverted the changes made by an unknown user to Miss World article into my previous edit, If ever you can restore the same thing to my edit in the Miss Universe article. I have also provided multiple needed citation tags in the Miss Universe article, but the same user from Miss World made several unreasonable edits to the Miss Universe article, so far it was reverted already by DerHexer, however, it did not go as far as the last edit in the article history on the 24th of December 2007 (05:24, 24 December 2007 by Alice) containing the multiple needed citation tags edit that I have put. I need your help and to revert and also your opinion on the matter. I have put the explanation in the discussion page of Miss Universe article why there's a need to put the multiple needed citation tags to the existing info about Miss Universe. Honestly, I'm not proficient enough to do the revert when there's a lot of intermediate edits. Thanks. Ped Admi 16:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. No, not yet, the citation tags that I put on December 24th was not reverted yet; please refer to my last entry in the Miss Universe article history.

Why would you delete the MetroHorse article?
Hello, why did you delete the MetroHorse article. This article is credible. You can go on Google and search for Metrohorse. You will see over 1100 results. Please recosider your decision as MetroHorse is a real and credible website.

Please reconsider the Kanzen Maid Sengen article
Why did you delete it? It was deleted 2 seconds after it created. It has its own Japanese wikipedia article too. Dasomcafe (talk) 02:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Kanzen Maid Sengen (JAP:完全メイド宣言) is the name of an all-female Japanese music group of seven members, who are all employees of one of the popular Akihabara maid cafes, @home Cafe. Their music is labeled under PINK BUNNY RECORDS. They made their first debute in 2005 and released one album called Kanzen best sengen 1 (完全ベスト宣言1). Their single, Kanzen meido no rokkurisumasu (完全メイドのロックリスマス) ranked 2nd on Oricon's indies chart.

Hey...."buddy"?
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or trying to kill me with kindness. Anyways, calling a random collection of people a "cult" is just asking for an attorney, briefcase and all, to file a class action lawsuit against Wiki.

A vandal disrupting articles for over a month
Hello. I just noticed your response [1] to mmy RFPP [2]. I have been reading the page protection policy. I refer you to my numerous WP:AIV complaints against what is, in all likelihood, a single user with multiple ips from the same domain [3] (previous complaints cascaded in the previous diff). I am uncertain as to which wikipedia policies apply in this case. A single user has been switching ips to attack/vandalize multiple articles over the course of a month. Please see the revision histories of the following articles [4][5][6][7]. Could you please look into this matter and take whatever action you deem necessary to stop this user? Thank you and happy holidays. Ghanadar galpa (talk) 15:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your participation in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate that landed on WP:100, but ultimately was deemed a successful declaration of consensus, and I am now an administrator. I paid close attention to everything that was said in the debate, and where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better admin. I am going to take things slowly for now -- I'm working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school, double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. I sincerely doubt you'll see anything controversial coming from my new access level. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, though I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are a few more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status. If you do ever have any concerns about my activities as an administrator, I encourage you to let me know. My door is always open. --Elonka 02:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Good luck! :) Jmlk17 03:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Sakic
I considered nominating it as soon as it reached FA. I was thinking though of either April 9 (start of the playoffs, of which Sakic should be part of again), or July 7, his birthday. Open to suggestions though. Kaiser matias (talk) 03:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- I was thinking his birthday might be a good one... so that gives us plenty of time before we actually have to act! :) Jmlk17 03:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you!
Hi there! Just a quick note to say "thanks very much" for your support on my recent, successful RfA. I'm humbled by the support I received, and will do my best to use the tools with care and for the benefit of the encyclopedia. Cheers! Tony Fox (arf!) 05:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Rachael Bell Music -- Why Deleted? (Continuted discussion from archived page)
Thanks for your prompt note, I just saw it. You asked "what you could do" to work this out. If you're looking for further evidence of "notability" other than what is already there, you could go to www.SoulTracks.com and see that, as of today, she has been selected as the "Featured Artist" a ranking higher even than spotlight artist, which this month they are giving to Mary J. Blige, Boys II Men, and other major-label artists who already have Wikipedia pages. SoulTracks is the number 1 soul music website in this country, so it doesn't get much more "notable" than that in Ms. Bell's genre of music. Please put her original Wiki page back up and add this new information? Or we will add it? Kind regards.

I'm glad to hear that. Would you please restore the page??

Help needed
Hi, I saw you were the admin who blocked the vandal who was removing templates from a bunch of D&D articles last night. He's popped up again under a new IP, doing the same exact thing. My recent edit history and talk page will show you I'm trying to fend off this vandal single-handedly, and I need help. Thanks much. Carl.bunderson (talk) 22:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi my name is Anthony Lindsey you have just deleted my page P Bze not to long ago but now you prevented me from creating it again. I understand what i did wrong but now i can fix it so can you please allow me to recreate this page? (Bigboytony (talk) 14:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC))
- Hey there Anthony! First off, welcome! Secondly, I deleted the page due to a lack of notability. It appears that the page had been deleted several times for that ver reason by other administrators before I even got there. Is there anyway you could show that P Bze is a notable rapper or person?

Maybe not all of them. But new users certainly need a guideline on what's appropriate to say around here and what's not. But, I compromise and made the page more "family friendly".--M.O.L.L.Y.I..I.S.MY...GYRL (talk) 02:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Sort of , but the list is incomplete. For example, the block bots have a definitive list. What new users need is a also a definitive list, and I'm the man to do it! My dad's a truck driving former Marine and would be happy to help.M.O.L.L.Y.I..I.S.MY...GYRL (talk) 02:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Right on; you are always more than welcome to help around here. But honestly, a list of inappropriate words isn't necessary. The article itself gives the guidelines, and what you were adding doesn't do much more than just list curse and attack slurs. Jmlk17 02:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I was reverting vandalism, but luckily Bowbowbow stopped. It's not really considered edit warring since I did not made a fourth edit --Antonio Lopez (talk) 03:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Eh, when it comes to reverting vandalism, it really isn't as stringent. But good to be on top of it. :) If you're concerned about continuing to revert vandalism beyond a 3RR, just let AIV know. Jmlk17 03:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
you mean reporting myself (along with the report of the other user) that I was reverting vandalism, but broke the rule because I was reverting vandalism. --Antonio Lopez (talk) 03:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Not at all! An admin is certainly not going to punish an editor for getting rid of vandalism... just reminding you of the option of AIV if/when someone won't quit on an article. :) Jmlk17 04:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

D. Maass Sat. Dec 22, 2007
- Hello there D. Maass. Unfortunately, I deleted the article due to a lack of notability. Do you believe this to be a mistake on my part? I have been known to make them! :) Jmlk17 04:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jmlk17
I think it might have been a mistake. If there can be entries for the Minneapolis-St Paul Star Tribune, then I think it makes sense to also have entries for news media outlets in Liberia, especially as history is being made in the West African country. These Liberian newspapers are all intertwined in a greater culture of conflict and exile, and as such, very notable.
If there's something I need to do to add to the page, just let me know. In the meantime, can be reinstated so I can add to it?

- Heya Dave. If you have a registered name here, I can restore the page to your personal sandbox, and that'll give you the ease of working on the page without anyone scrutinizing or deleting it. This is usually a good way for people to save deleted articles, building them up for keeping and eventually restoring them to an actual article. Just let me know! You can also email me if you like, so we don't have to keep playing talk page tag. Jmlk17 21:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

You know that sounds okay. My username is Maassive.
- Right on. I have restored the page to it's pre-deletion state at your personal sandbox here. If you can find some outside sources and expand upon the article some, it should be good! If you'd like, when you are finished or have done some work, I'll be more than happy to stop by and take a look at it for you. Just let me know! Best of luck, and happy editing! :) Jmlk17 23:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
NHL Standings...
Actually, I did not fix your edit, I created my own. I am completing an excel spreadsheet that imports the NHL Standings on ESPN and wiki-codes the standings so all I have to do is refresh, and do 6 copy/paste operations to update the entire league. After I complete it, anyone who has Excel who might want it I will be more than happy to share. --Pparazorback (talk) 05:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Please note that beyond Points, fewer games, and wins, I cannot at this time break any ties any other way, so there will be instances such as on Template:2007-08 NHL Northwest Division standings where I cannot automatically break a tie between Colorado and Minnesota as they have equal games played and the exact same record. While I could obviously use goal differential, I could not easily gather the common home-home record (which in this case is tied too) which is the first, so it will simply show the tie and sort in the order that it was posted on ESPN. This particular edit anyway will only be critical at or near the end of the season anyway. --Pparazorback (talk) 08:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Eh, I agree it'll only be truly important at the end of the season, but what about just for correctness? :) Also, ESPN has been known to mess up with NHL stuff sometimes, so I go with the official NHL.com website's standings. Good job on the templates by the way... Jmlk17 08:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Normally a good plan to check NHL.com, except I have even seen them break ties incorrectly during the season. tsn.com too for that matter. ESPN's method of presenting the standings is the only one of the three that allow me to create a consistent web query, plus ESPN updates fairly quickly, while TSN and NHL take forever. I'll make attempts during my updates to check for correctness whenever possible. --Pparazorback (talk) 09:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
re. Confused
I am the sexy one. Duh...— Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 06:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
For the record
As I've repeated elsewhere, Ceoil does more helpful things on Wikipedia one day than Betacommand has done in his entire time editing Wikipedia. Your block was punitive as Ceoil said, and censorship of free speech as far as I am concerned. He's been very helpful to me on Wikipedia, and has been helpful to a lot of others. He's penned several FAs, and saved several FAs at FAR. Also, he's done his fair share of copyediting which I am the first to admit has helped me through four FACs. Thanks a lot for driving away a very good contributor, and one that contributes a fair amount of content. On the subject of content, feel free to take a cursory glance at how much content Betacommand has contributed. I'm not too sure what good things you did to gain adminship, but this is certainly not reflective of them at all (I'm hoping). If it is reflective of how you go about on Wikipedia, then the 41 people that supported your adminship are frankly mistaken. Trying to initially block Ceoil indefinitely was utterly disgraceful, and even the 48 hour block doesn't rank too high either. He isn't the first, and certainly not the last, editor to tell Betacommand what he truly is. I 110% support Ceoil's words, and echo them. I might be only one of a few brave enough to say that, but dozens others agree with Ceoil's comments. LuciferMorgan (talk) 11:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

A holiday wish
You know, I sincerely believe that we all make mistakes and as humans we cannot be expected to do otherwise. I'm in no way asking for someone to be perfect. What I am asking for is that when mistakes are made, the person responsible for that mistake apologizes. If you truly see yourself as just another editor, and not some sort of WikiGod, then I would encourage you to really and sincerely apologize to User:Ceoil. If I may speak frankly, Ceoil has done more for the encyclopedia than 99 percent of the editors on this project -- you can look at his contributions to verify this. And to indef block, without even discussing as far as I can tell, (even if you changed it to 48 hours, he still has an indef in his block log) is really an unfortunate way to treat such a valuable user. As you say, we all make mistakes, but it's clear that Ceoil isn't even remotely close to a serial offender who deserves such a massive block without a good faith discussion first. We could, conceivably, lose one of our best content contributors because of your action. I'm sure you don't want that to happen, and I think that a really sincere apology would be a gesture of good faith quite appropriate for the season, which would help restore the morale around this place a little bit. We've lost a lot of good content contributors lately; let's not allow that to happen again. Happy Holidays! --JayHenry (talk) 20:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, here's a really beautiful article that you might enjoy reading: Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. I remember when it appeared on the Main Page. I was incredibly proud to be a Wikipedian that day. Are you ever overwhelmed by the beauty of the content that we sometimes create? I find myself filled with wonder on days I find articles like that. Cheers again! --JayHenry (talk) 21:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

- Seconded (actually fourthed, after DGG and Lucifer). Either you did not check the quality and quantity of this user's contributions or you did check and decided to block anyway. In either case, it was a serious lapse in judgement as an admin. Marskell (talk) 21:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Everybody makes mistakes (probably me more than others); Im not angry at you at all, I said these things happen, It was the reaction after. Your apology is appreciated, and my last number of posts have nothing to do with you. Actually, I was only angry with you for a few minutes. So, peace. Ceoil (talk) 22:04, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

In an ironic twist, I think it's me that owes you the apology now ;) The tone of my initial post was actually pretty nasty, and you definitely aren't the sort of admin who thinks he's a "WikiGod".

116.14.0.0/16
I see you've unblocked this range. I must wonder about the wisdom of this. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Requesting_2_range_blocks, where I just got another range blocked by the same vandal. If there was ever a need for a range block, this was it; we have used range blocks for far less vandalism. We have a user on this range who has been relentlessly vandalizing userpages and user talk pages. If you do not wish to block this range, then please be willing to watchlist all the user talk pages I listed at that discussion, as we have been suffering vandalism on them for days (including the talk pages of the vandal, as he likes to go back and vandalize his old pages). I believe you will find the task far more arduous than is worth the effort. The Evil Spartan (talk) 23:04, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Closing request
This message has been addressed to you because you happened to be around at the time. I've sworn not to close fiction AfD's, and will likely get yelled at even if I do so purely on procedural grounds. It's on the latter that I ask you to speedily end Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rod of Seven Parts (2nd nomination) as premature if that's in accordance with your own judgement. The article was just nominated for deletion twenty-nine days after the last nomination ended, for the very same reasons as the last time around. Yes, "consensus can change", but in a month? Renominating rapidly with the same arguments in the same situation bases decisions on tenacity and luck, rather than article merit. That's not something that Wikipedia can withstand.
Neither would a month have been a reasonable amount of time for a cleanup and fix - that tends to be a slow process, this being a voluntary organization - if there had been such a provision in the last closing, which there wasn't.
Neither can local experts - volunteers too - be expected to improve our coverage if they must rally to the defense of their surviving articles monthly. AfDs are non-trivial in their costs of time, effort, and morale. Improving includes making sure that our the coverage of their subject remains good in light of AfDs, and fixing the problems identified that led to AfDs. I've sadly seen plenty of evidence of WikiProjects being run ragged in recent times, and D&D is the foremost. --Kizor is in a constant state of flux 07:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there Kizor. I can easily understand your concern(s), and if the consensus had been for a "keep" before, I would close this one without hesitation. But I am a bit reluctant to do so in this case, especially since the previous AfD was so heated and ended without any result. Jmlk17 07:26, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- True, that's a point against it. Note, though, that the heat (such at it is, but 'so heated' is a subjective term) emanates almost entirely from one editor and arguments against him, and that whether the outcome is a nc or a keep doesn't affect that concern about editors' limited strength. Some offers about looking into finding more sources have been made, too - I see one statement about those being findable snuck into the second statement as we were talking. --Kizor is in a constant state of flux 07:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Man, you gotta "love" those sort of debates huh? I've watchlisted the debate, and I'm going to keep a close eye on it for the time being. Sorry not be to be more of an immediate help, but if the debate goes nowhere, I'll close it. Jmlk17 07:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- A reasonable, more conservative, approach. I personally would've closed it, but then my senior class voted me Most Likely To Become A Revolutionary Leader, so I'm open to the possibility that my views on action may not necessarily always be the only optimal solution. Thanks for your help and attention. --Kizor is in a constant state of flux 19:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Merrill Lynch (again)
Hi Jmlk. A few days ago, I requested semi-protection for the Merrill Lynch article due to a disruptive IP user. You suggested reporting him to AIV, but the situation has become more ambiguous than vandalism per se, so I'm considering requesting semi-protection again, or whether you'd be willing to arbitrate/weight in. The section at hand is this one, which, at present, is my version (although that might change by the time you read this). Discussion begins with my poster here, though it took a while before the user would use the talk page. Also, here's the article's history. I appreciate your efforts; thanks.--DMCer (talk) 12:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hello again my friend. I'm not entirely sure who is right in this instance, but unless the IP starts to talk and help us figure out a common ground for the article, I might have to block them or protect the page. I've left a message on their talk page (along with yours), and we'll have to see if this final one takes. I'm keeping on eye on the article on my watchlist for now. Merry Christmas! Jmlk17 21:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Admin noticeboard thread
Hi Jmlk17, there is a thread on the admin noticeboard here, discussing your recent protection of an article. Addhoc (talk) 15:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Just to explain why I raised this; as a daily monitor of the article, it has been my experience that it has not been protected, so your one-month semi seemed excessive; we usually seem to manage with reverting. Having had similarly protected articles pointed out, I don't know why I didn't ask for protection before for this article. Seems to make sense. Happy Christmas. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 16:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Nancy Reagan 3RR
I appologize for my misuse of the editing privilege with the 3RR I committed. I was trying to reverse all the POV, pointless, non-MOS edits that were recently made to the page because it is "today's FA." I was in a minor edit war with an anon who continued to put his own POV about the good of the article, yet he think was told on the talk page by a few other editors to quit it. I applied for protection twice; twice it was denied. Sorry though. Happyme22 (talk) 17:22, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- No need for the apology my friend. When another editor just won't quit, head on over to AIV. If the page is overwhelmed, RFPP. But just an FYI: we usually try and avoid protecting the Featured Article for the day, as it is our most visual and visited article, often has a bunch of people keeping an eye on it to revert vandalism, and allows new visitors to try their editing skills out. Merry Christmas! Jmlk17 21:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Admin
What's up? Thanks for the consideration again. After thinking about it, I've decided against it. I'm too inconsistent when it comes to editing. There are times when I edit a lot and there days or even weeks when I don't edit at all. Real life gets in the way! =) Although it would be nice I'm quite happy with what I'm doing right now: cleaning up articles, reverting vandalism, checking facts etc. Thanks again. You're doing a great job as an admin. Have a wonderful Christmas! ----Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 20:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I revised the post leaving DMCer style mostly intact. I am making a big compromise here. He is over the top. Talk some sense to him. Thanks.

I have to add that blog in. I am leaving the rest intact but have to get this one in. Thank you. Not sure what you mean by controversial. Anything I add is part of US Government law suit. The names I added last time are mentioned in the law suit. I'd like to add them to the test.
JMLK17 I am waiting for DMcer response! Were did he go? YOu have kept his version and claim neutrality my friend!! That is not fair!! Please call him up.

I undid your undo of that edit to Punkbuster by the anon vandal IP. I hope you do not see this as a challenge to your judgement, but I reviewed the edit and found that it was not in fact Vandalism.

hi. you speedied the article as "foreign language." It obviously had to go, but I wish to know under what criteria that is. I tagged as "no context." It didn't seem that right, but it was the tag that made the most sense under the circumstances. Is that the tag that one supposed to put on foreign language articles?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Nope. Your tag was just fine, but since it was in a foreign language, I went ahead and just put that down as the reason for the deletion. I believe there at least used to be a tag just for that (there still may be, but my level of activity had been off and on recently, and I seem to have missed out on some changes). Hope this helps, and happy editing! :) Jmlk17 06:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

This is pathetic
All right, what the heck? I was trying to create a page (admittedly, it probably would have been considered a stub, but it was a start), and a legitimate page it was (admittedly, about a conspiracy theory, but a legitimate conspiracy theory), but almost before I got back to look at it, it was gone! I know this was done to fast to be human, so I call it a VERY flawed system, that just deletes pages and threatens users who create them, regardless of the pages' true significance. I trust that you will get on this soon, but in the meantime, I'd very much appreciate it if you would not count these occurences as warnings, and if you would at least reestablish the page (Azerbaijan does not exist). --Aztruth (talk) 07:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I did delete it, but honestly, it was due to a lack of notability. There are COUNTLESS conspiracy theories out there, many much more credible than claiming that an established country does not exist. Also, I did not threaten you, but rather warned you, asking you to not recreate a page that should not be here. Jmlk17 07:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Alright then, out of curiosity, where is "lack of notability" in wikipedia's policies? Where do you draw the line? And given that I was unaware of this, how does it merit a warning? --Aztruth (talk) 07:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Please see User talk:124.191.88.235. This user has requested an unblock. I took a look and it looks like his "vandalism" is really more inadvertent than anything just because he doesn't really know what he is doing with the interface. I am thinking a reduction to a 24-hour or 31-hour block would be appropriate provided that he promises to be more civil, and with the understanding that it would be reinstated if he is incivil. I wanted to run it by you first before doing anything. Any thoughts? --B (talk) 00:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I think your source for IR NHL players is a little outdated. I have all 2 of those players you listed on the IR as recently coming back from their injuries.

Second Life Music Community article removal
I'd really like to be able to get this article up on Wikipedia. I do really feel the SLMC is a significant representation of the future of live music performance, and it seems to me that Wiki users would enjoy understanding the history and background of the Second Life music scene. There are now close to 12,000,000 people who've signed up for Second Life, with dozens of daily live music shows being one of the big draws of the platform. Is there some way for me to again re-write the article so that it's not regarded as a piece on an insignificant club/group? I'm open to help.

match pump
Hya.
You just deleted an article "match pump". As written in the article, it is NOT an English expression, it is a Japanese expression, which is sometimes confusing during the conversation. This is the reason I made this article. It does not make sense as an English expression. I made many links to ja.wikipedia.org. While finishing tags for translation, it was deleted.
I know it is a hard work as an admin. However, I do appreciate if you can consider your decision again.
