BackToThe80s

How do you consider what I wrote about our show an advertisement, we don't make any money from it. do a search for lost in the 80s, it's the same concept but you don't delete them. Could please explain why they are allowed to tell others about their show and we can't.

It's the history behind the show and what it is about, please tell me the harm in this. :) --Backtothe80s (talk) 16:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

"They" aren't making accounts specifically to promote it. Second, the tone of the article reads more as a promotional piece than as a neutral article. Third, articles do not go in the User: space (see WP:Userpage). -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 17:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Who said I was promoting it...

We are tying to bring people back to the good ol days "The 80s"

It's the history behind the show and what it is about, thats it.

because it's the exact same layout and information as lost in the 80s, I just have to move it, is that what you are telling me?

Where can I create a page about our show?

--Backtothe80s (talk) 17:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

*sigh* Please read WP:Conflict of interest and choose a new username (yours currently violates the username policy as your edits have been about a show of the same name, thus falling under the "Promotional account" proscription) before you ask that question again.

And stop using multiple line breaks; a colon or two in front of your comment not only indents it, but serves as a line break. Hitting "Return" more than twice makes things much harder to read. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me that, now I know that you explained it to me. I attempted to read the rules but this site is so confusing to understand. --Backtothe80s (talk) 18:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem; so long as we are at an understanding. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Jon Hobynx likely reincarnation of R:128.40.76.3 et al

You might want to look at this as it is now talking a bit about the Grawp case and the IPs.

• WP:ANI#Jon Hobynx likely reincarnation of R:128.40.76.3 et al.

Cheers, Jack Merridew 11:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Damn. And I was having a nice dream of getting a backrub from a Raichu anth.... -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 17:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Things have moved on to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/R:128.40.76.3 and I expect that this is connected to one of the groups in the Grawp case. If you need a massage [1] there are many cheap places I could recommend; you would likely have to get a not so cheap airline ticket, first. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Naw, just picturing a Raichu anth's hands on my back calms me down (I blame AGNPH). -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 18:36, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:RFPP.

I left you a note here. Cheers, · AndonicO ^Hail! 03:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Responded there. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 18:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Article Mudaliar

Hello Jeske, I got your message. I guess you were just doing your job on good faith. Can you please unprotect the Mudaliar article? Saedirof (talk) 17:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

One sec. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 18:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Done -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 18:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kopru

Do you think you could be the one to add a mention to the article on the module? I am unfamiliar with the monster and the module, otherwise I would do it myself. There is already a brief mention, but it may deserve more, or at least a little context explaining what the monster is. J Milburn (talk) 23:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I am not familiar with the module, sorry, although I *am* familiar with the monster. I generally do not so much as look at modules largely because I use homebrew material so heavily. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L10 Lucario Cleric of Mew)} 23:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

WTF?

WTF is this about? A final warning alleging "false information"? As far as I can tell all he did was reformat the text. I can't find a single word that he added. So what are you on about? -- Zsero (talk) 00:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

My apologies. I had seen two ships added on the green side - which, sadly, is the modus operandi of an IP-hopping vandal that has indeed been adding flat-out prevarication both to that article and Raiden Fighters - and assumed that the vandal had changed IPs again. I'm going to look at Raiden fighters as well. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 00:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thx. I know nothing at all about the subject, and IMO the formatting was prettier your way, but the warning just seemed way over the top. I happened to see it only because this IP left a message on my talk page once and I responded, so it was on my watch list. -- Zsero (talk) 00:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Null persp. I double-checked Raiden Fighters; the ship added there was present in revisions untouched by the IP-hopper. Rolled myself back and unprotected both Raiden Fighters and its descendant. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 00:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I still think it looks prettier your way. Less cluttered. But I'm not about to edit it, since I'd never even heard about the subject before about half an hour ago. (Not that that hasn't stopped me from doing major editing to Nikki Sixx, whom I'd also never heard of until today...) -- Zsero (talk) 00:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Formatting doesn't require that you know anything about the subject. If you feel that your way is better, do it. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 00:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:3RR violation

Thank you for clarifying that Jeske. Next time, I'll be sure to just report a violation if I see one as opposed to reporting and getting involved. MelicansMatkin (talk) 21:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Null persp, chummer. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 21:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

IP spam attacks

Hi, I've been recieving a lot of threats of late, in several waves. They follow the same format as some Jack Merridew recieved, he said I should let you know about it. Do you know the cause? I've just let other admins deal with it- IPs blocked, talk page semi'd. J Milburn (talk) 12:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and while I'm here, Connie Talbot and Devourment band members, two articles I worked on, were attacked by IPs who seemed a little annoyed about my D&D clearout. J Milburn (talk) 12:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I do know - you've been targeted by 4channers, according to the AN/I thread there is on this. I've told the admins there to pay some extra attention to your userpage, but since you're an administrator yourself (are you not?), you should be able to protect your talkpage to keep from getting the crap. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 18:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm an admin. Somone else beat me to the protect, though- three times! Currently have it protected for a few more days. I guessed it was 4channers... J Milburn (talk) 22:30, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, maybe I should read AN/I more often. I usually just have a glance at AN every day... J Milburn (talk) 22:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Three Issues

• And of course this one involves Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. The bright side is that the other user involved is actually attempting to provide a compromise. To summarize, the user wants to include a statement to the effect that many players of the game have noticed the trend that some maps are impossible to win when the other player has a first-turn advantage, and to cite this with fan sites. Is this allowable?

• Also related to the above game, another user (User:Darkmasterchief), has for the third time in the past two months added in a section about controversy of the game, which is apparently that gameplay in AW: DoR is too similar to another game. He provides no source for this info, and is the only one who adds it, and yet has informed me on my talk page that I should have read through his addition first, and even then I am somehow not allowed to delete it. I had already read it the first two times and just removed it again, but the point is I would like to make sure that I am in the right when I say that the section violates WP:NPOV.

• This is the one that is really beginning to irritate me, because I may be edit warring. On the article Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, one new user and a few IPs keep adding in a comment (cited with the user score at Metacritic) to the Reception section that fans of the game think highly of the game (in contrast to the reviews, which average at a 44% or so). I believe this is nothing more than fans (or a fan using different IPs, but I have no evidence, of course) trying to make themselves heard, and removed the statement several times over the past two days, citing WP:NPOV. Here, I would like to know if I am also on firm ground in my actions, and if indeed I am, what to do to settle the issue with whoever keeps adding the statement in.

I apologize for heaping this on all at once, but any advice you can give regarding all this would be greatly appreciated. While I find the first issue almost refreshing when compared to the whole V-Dash fiasco, I just want to make sure I'm not digging myself into a hole or something with the latter two.  Comandante Talk 00:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

1. No. WP:RS forbids the use of fansites due to their lack of editorial control.
2. You're not entirely correct here - he's also violating Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability, and I have told him so.
3. This is where I suggest you back down. While you *are* in what looks like an edit-war, I suggest you talk with the editor(s) adding the information in and come to a consensus. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 01:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Much obliged.  Comandante Talk 01:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Warning?

I am going to say the same thing to you as I did to Patmar. Do not involve me in your disputes

What? I'm not involving you. Where did you get this from? --Naruto134 00:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm warning you for future reference, not for the DAH! stuff. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L13 ½-Raichu Soulknife)} 03:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Contribs Link

Hi, I fixed it. Thanks for notifying me. :) おべんとう むすび (Contributions) 07:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Null persp. I'd noticed it while clerking at CHU. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L5 Tediz Strong)} 07:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

My request for bureaucratship

Dear Jéské, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 11:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stay off my talk page

thank you. It is A TALK page, please respect MY right to speech. I act in good faith and ask that you do the same. Thank you Thright (talk) 02:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)thright

Calling others' concerns vandalism is not "good faith". -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L5 Tediz Strong)} 02:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I am deeply upset

Hi, I would like to tell you that I am deeply upset with how you handled yourself. I feel that many people do not realise that humans are on the other side of the computer screen reading comments others write. I feel that you overreacted and were not concerned with my feelings. I feel that you simply did not take the time to ask the question, "what is going on." This is a skill needed not only by admin but by bureaucrats too. I am sorry that you were not selected, but I think you should work on your interaction skills. This is not a personal attack, I am just telling you how you have made me feel. Thright (talk) 02:55, 11 March 2008 (UTC)thright

Um... I'm not a bureaucrat, nor have I even attempted an RfB (that's Riana (talk · contribs)'s above). And I understand how you feel, but understand how I feel as well, based off of my perceptions of what you said during this incident. You stated that your main concerns for whether the article existed or not were "What if my little five-year-old kid saw this after finding sheisse porn?!" Despite the efforts of many users to point you to WP:NOTCENSORED, you appeared to have not even bothered to take the time to read that section. Since you didn't listen there, I'll state it here: Wikipedia is NOT CENSORED for the eyes of minors or to fit religious sensibilities. If I were a parent, I would have done the responsible thing and parent: talk to the child about it. I would not be leading the Wikipedia equivalent of a jihad to protect the (perceived) innocence of a child. Think about others beside your immediate family and remember this: CDA was nullified for good reason. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L5 Tediz Strong)} 03:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

You missed the point, again. In any event you should work on your interpersonal skills. Take care Thright (talk) 03:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)thright

Terminated

Good, good. (I was beginning to wonder if it was him or not, too.)—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Based on contribs, it was pretty obvious whom he was, given that he was, again, attacking the articles he's tended to cause strife on (although I must admit he appears to be branching out). -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L5 Tediz Strong)} 04:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Just go here as things progress, I guess.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 05:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L5 Tediz Strong)} 05:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Dalamori

Could I ask your opinion of User:Dalamori? User started editing last week after a 23 month hiatus, has about 150 edits, is knowledgeable about advanced template syntax and is advancing loophole arguments about character notability that demonstrate considerable understanding of the whole debate. And user is almost entirely focusing on me. Smells like a sock to me.

Cheers, Jack Merridew 11:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Bring it up to AN/I. If this was a Grawp sock (s)he would have been busted by now. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v :L14 Grarrl Barbarian)} 17:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Glad you feel that any new Grawp socks will be promptly dealt with. I'll see how it goes with this user. Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for defending me on my talk page. I was just coming to thank you when you made your most recent comment. I have just contacted the user on their talk page; I think they are really blowing this out of proportion- did I actually do anything wrong in the infobox case? Perhaps if I had used a more descriptive edit summary? J Milburn (talk) 18:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

From what I saw, you did nothing wrong. Every admin is human, and not replacing the infobox with a more appropriate one is not a lynching offense in my opinion. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 19:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Remember how I asked you about my sig a long time ago?

I just added Subst and used my mysig template and it works. Although now I cannot delete that page if I want to keep my sig.--Smashbrosboy 23:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Subst the rest of them and the page can be deleted as normal without changing the sig. Another suggestion is to do as Alison (talk · contribs) does with her signature and "layer" the code so that you use half as much HTML commands. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 00:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Suicide note...

Sorry, seem to be bothering you several times a day now, but I just thought you would like to keep up to date with matters, and so may want to take a look at this. J Milburn (talk) 00:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Imbecile. Maybe he should think before posting suicide notes on Wikipedia; now he'll realize he no longer has anonymity to fall back on to keep cops away from him. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 00:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the email, I've done so. Already have done on the articles. J Milburn (talk) 17:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome. I suggested it because Oversight's taking a while. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 18:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I tried sending you a message yesterday

And in the 5 seconds I spent editing, it got fully protected. Well anyhoo, I think that I am going to keep my sig the same. I got it to work so that is fine. Wow, you must have had a very bad day. First V-Dash and now that suicide note. (No offence)--Smashbrosboy 23:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

None taken.The reason tha page got fully protected was because I was deleting bad revisions, which takes the better part of five minutes, and I don't want to have 4chan vomit on the TP while I do so. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 23:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Libris Mortis

After considerable talk page discussion, I added a paragraph discussing the naming. I think it fits in with the article- I also included some information about the in-universe book that Libris Mortis was based on. J Milburn (talk) 23:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, okay. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Detarder)} 23:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
