Clearing the air edit

Hi there.

I was not wanting to get you off side about the juridicial/juridical/judicial thing. But if you take a step back and see it from another's point of view, you'll perhaps understand why I made my final remark.

I totally acknowledge you didn't start the discussion. Karanne did. She headed the thread "Juridicial?". I'll call that Word A. She wondered whether its appearance in the article shouldn't be "Judicial". I’ll call that Word B.

At this point you entered, and also noted that Word A was in the article but agreed it should be Word B, and you'd be changing it if there were no objections.

Enter Jack of Oz. I did not check the article at this stage, but took the foregoing discussion at face value. I made the point that the word "Juridical" also exists, and I linked to its wiktionary entry. I'll call this Word C. Your response did not suggest to me that you understood this to be either of the words previously mentioned. That is, you accepted that Word C was different from Word A.

Only then did I check the article, but I could find no appearance of Word A, or any evidence it had ever been there, despite you and Karanne having agreed that it was there. You responded with surprise, reiterating that Word A was there, and even copied it and used quotes.

SMP0328 said that Word C was there, and I agreed.

At this point I decided to check elsewhere. I went to the Wikipedia Reference desk/Computing and asked if it is possible for 2 users reading the same article at the same time can see the same word but spelt in different ways (see here). I'd never heard of any such thing, but my IT knowledge is hardly cutting edge. That brought Nil Einne into the discussion. He had a theory as to what was going on.

Then you came back and copied and pasted the word in question again. But this time, hey presto, it had changed from Word A to Word C. But there was no explanation of that change, or even any acknowledgement from you that it had in fact changed.

That's when I piped up again and pointed out that you'd changed your story. You accepted that, but in doing so, you painted a misleading and confusing picture of the error you'd actually made. So, just for the record and posterity, I thought it was prudent to set that particular bit of the record straight. Then I got to the real nub of the question and provided my input, to which you readily agreed.

It seems to me the confusion goes right back to the very start of the thread. Karanne made the spelling error, but your responses, so far from correcting it, unfortunately reinforced it. That was why I was wondering whose eyes were in need of checking.

I suppose there's a message in there somewhere about people being responsible for the words they actually type, as opposed to the words they have in their head, but I'll leave that for you to work out.

So, all cool now, I hope. Cheers. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 07:19, 16 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

2013 NFL season assertion edit

You recently added a comment to the 2013 NFL season article that the upcoming Super Bowl "will be the first cold weather Super Bowl the NFL has held." This statement is not technically true since 1) the Super Bowl has been held in sites such as Minnesota and Detroit in the past, and 2) no one knows for sure that the weather will be cold for this game. I understand the point you are trying to make, which is that it will be the first SB played at an outdoor stadium in a location which typically has cold winters, which is why I didn't just remove the (unreferenced) remark from the article. I'll give you a chance to clarify your statement, and add a citation of a reliable reference to back it up. Thanks! — DeeJayK (talk) 18:51, 3 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for making the change. I agree it's very likely to be cold, but you never know. — DeeJayK (talk) 19:31, 3 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

9/11 In General edit

Hi Zdawg, Thank you so much for your message on my Talk page. My interest stems from watching those terrible events live and having a friend who lost a close relation on United 93. There is quite a lot of interest in the United Kingdom, but in my personal opinion, most seem to think that the alternate version of events is conspiracy theories gone completely mad. I totally agree. I will add my 9/11 interest to my User page. Keep-up the good work. With kind regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 10:31, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to Michael Jackson.
The specific details of these sanctions are described here:-

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Request reason:

Dear bradv, I am sorry I lost my temper a couple, few months ago on here and made personal attacks against you among others. I was extremely upset that a Wiki page I had created and maintained for 7 years was so abruptly deleted. It was hard to take, it still hurts a little bit, but not as much. But as you can imagine, it would make anyone upset. That page was like my baby. I literally grew it from nothing, and made it into what it was. Yeah it was by no means the most popular page among NFL pages, but during the playoffs, it had pretty decent page views on a daily basis. And a lot of people found the information very interesting. But anyways, I'm not here to pitch the return of the page, I am here to apologize for my behavior. Again I am very sorry, it is unlike me for me to do that, I was just very upset and said something very stupid. I don't make it a habit to go around Wikipedia threatening people. In fact if you look at my history, you will see I'm a pretty good editor, so please consider reinstating me now that I have had significant time to cool off, thanks.
