[edit] Hi

You sound like a serious guy so I offer to adopt you. Plz confirm. Here is a tip. Use the show preview button so as to save wikipedia money! Each edit you save, essentialy creates a new page, taking up more server space. Also if you look at the history of Petrini's here [1] we see it is totaly dominated by you, this is not a prob but most of these edits where in a few minutes of each other.

[edit] Talk Page

Please stop leaving article discussion comments on my talk page. Put the comments on the article's discussion page. Wikiant (talk) 21:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Sure, I'm willing to help out any way I can. But it looks like you were already adopted by User:FrummerThanThou. I guess he wasn't as helpful as you had hoped? P.S. - How did you find me? Useight (talk) 02:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I took a look at the talk page on Juris Doctor, there's a lot of information there. In fact, you have 41 edits to that talk page. How about you just briefly sum up the most recent/current issue? Useight (talk) 02:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Juris Doctor

I see what you mean. It seems that only way to convince them whether a J.D. is a graduate/doctorate degree is to find some external, reliable source and present it. Do you have any outside evidence? Useight (talk) 03:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

response
One way to recruit a third party would be to use WP:3O. And that's just what I would suggest in this case. Useight (talk) 04:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your Questions

Hmm, I'm not familiar with a term for creating another article to support a POV. I'll look into it. As for changes not appearing the article's history, there is a process called oversighting that removes them from the history, however, this is very rare. Useight (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

You may be referring to WP:POVFORK. Useight (talk) 00:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed J.D. article

Please see proposed article here. Zoticogrillo (talk) 19:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC) /name of subpage

[edit] Juris Doctor

Wow, that's a good-looking article, and it has 119 citations. I also see you edited the article 129 times, far and away more than anyone else, so good work. If you want to get it up to Good Article status, here's the criteria. Then it can later be nominated and assessed. If you have any more questions or if I didn't answer your question, let me know. P.S. - Sorry it took so long to respond, I was washing my car. Useight (talk) 21:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

OMG. MASSIVE KUDOS ON THE JD ARTICLE!!! Cquan (after the beep...) 00:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Zoticogrillo (talk) 00:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit skirmish on Juris Doctor

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was on a geological expedition for Geology 101 (no, I'm not a freshman, it's my last GE and I'm graduating in December). Anyway, I will take a look at the article now and see the best plan of action. Useight (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I noticed that the other editor involved in this matter had never been spoken to directly on his talk page regarding the issue, so I have sent him a message requesting that he discuss it on the article's talk page. Useight (talk) 21:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
If the editor is non-responsive, and has reverted the same change counter to consensus more than 3 times in 1 day you could consider reporting him for a 3RR violation. But AIV isn't the way to go because it's not blatant/obvious vandalism. Hope this helps. xenocidic (talk) 03:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I have blocked Orielense for 24 hours for violation of 3RR. Useight (talk) 04:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
If there continues to be problems, yeah, there are other options that might have to be persued, but let's hope the 3RR block is effective. Useight (talk) 04:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lafayette morehouse

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lafayette morehouse, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.lafayettemorehouse.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 07:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

This was an error and the issue has been resolved, thank you. Zoticogrillo (talk) 23:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Lafayette morehouse

A tag has been placed on Lafayette morehouse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  Channel ®   07:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

This was an error and the issue has been resolved, thank you. Zoticogrillo (talk) 23:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist numbers

The numbers indicate the change in the size of the page. If there is a +544, for example, it means that through that particular edit, the page's size was increased by 544 bytes. If there is a -267, then the page was made smaller by 267 bytes. It's a quick way to know if text was added or removed and the quantity of said change. Useight (talk) 00:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
