Hey!

I see you just updated the admin coaching page with space for one more is that correct. OtisJimmyOne 03:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

That's great, I asked Academic Challenger to Coach me earlier but s/he doesn't look as active as you are. Thanks OtisJimmyOne 03:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey Julian i've created User:Otisjimmy1/Coaching and added what you requested. Best, OtisJimmyOne 23:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Big Thank You!

It's me, Typingwestern015. I finally posted my own picture! Come and see! You must also see my science fiction novel, the concept of a nuclear volcanic meltdown, and these userboxes I made. You'll love it! Seriously, you will. Typingwestern015 (talk) 18:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Admin Coach

Hi there before putting in an application I was wondering if you could if you have time look through my contribs and see if I would be able to apply to be an admin. I have the minimum basics like participating in XFDs and closing/helping with requests on the help desk. Corruptcopper (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Just thought I'd butt in since I'm not sure if JC is here -- a lot of people will oppose if you almost only use Huggle and other automated tools (which is what I see). Audited content work is pretty much a must, or it is highly unlikely that you would pass. I disagree that content work is the be all and end all of adminship, but it seems a lot of people disagree with me, too. — neuro 20:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that we will continue the discussion on my talkpage if you want as I woul like to know what you mean 'Audited work' Corruptcopper (talk) 20:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
In accordance with point six of Julian's editnotice I'd rather keep messages here. By 'audited content work', I mean GA/FA/FL/DYK, etc. Your unfamiliarity with these processes would be your downfall in an RfA -- I don't agree with it, but it is true. — neuro 20:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Ok cool thanks I will start to look into those areas. Corruptcopper (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for granting my rollback request (: Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 23:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Another requested move

Serbia-Venezuela relations needs an en dash. Thanks! Dabomb87 (talk) 23:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Algeria–Greek relations-->Algeria–Greece relations per . Stay tuned! Dabomb87 (talk) 00:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Algerian–Turkish relations-->Algeria–Turkey relations. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
If there is anything you ever need, please holler. You don't know how much I appreciate having an admin around right when I want one. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Speedy delete request. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Bilateral AfD closure

what do you think of this closure? Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Austria–Georgia relations. the discussion only yielded one source which was a primary source. and the article only has 1 reference. LibStar (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

As I said on Cirt's talk page as well. If we go by strength of arguments, it was a no consensus. Best, --A Nobody 00:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I would have closed it the same way personally. A Nobody is correct. –Juliancolton |  00:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

"No edits"

- That's because its only edit was stopped by the abuse filter. Mr.Z-man 00:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

pigface welcome to mexico

trent reznor does NOT sing on this LIVE cd OGRE of skinny puppy sings SUCK on this one ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.204.139 (talk) 01:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

That would be a violation of the second bullet point at the top of this page. ceranthor 01:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Protection of WP:BLPN

Whilst vandalism of this talk page is bad, it should not be protected from IP editors, who should be able to raise BLP concerns on this noticeboard. I think protecting this page is wrong. Martin451 (talk) 02:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You input would be appreciated. wadester16 04:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of My user page

Could i please have a copy of my userpage that you deleted without letting me know. Id like to see the Vandalism on it. Avatar 06349 (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It's really not worth it. It just contained "F you". — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
my point is he never bothered to let me know about said vandalism or deletion so id like to still see it and who the vandal was. Avatar 06349 (talk) 11:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Project News

Sorry there's not been a newsletter for three months, it's not that there hasn't been anything to say but that there almost hasn't been time to say it...


On 20 March 2009 Manchester was "today's Featured Article" and received over 44,000 visitors. This was the culmination of about 2 years of effort from a lot of editors who found the article in this state before the founding of the project. Along with Greater Manchester, it's our flagship article and for it to reach the mainpage is a great achievement. It was an incredible collaborative effort and shows what the project is capable of, and since then we have gone from strength to strength. The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine was Today's Featured Article on 30 May, with 33,000 visitors.

  • Promoted articles:
Carrington Moss is an 1,100 acres (450 ha) peat bog in Trafford; in the 19th century, it was reclaimed to be used agriculturally and for the disposal Manchester's waste, and is still used for farming.
Manchester Mummy is about Hannah Beswick, whose macabre fear of being buried alive lead to her demanding that her body was kept above ground and checked periodically for signs of life.
The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machinewas the world's first stored-program computer. It ran its first program on 21 June 1948. The SSEM was a template for the Manchester Mark 1 and the first in a series of groundbreaking computers designed at Manchester.
The town of Sale in Trafford was probably founded in the Anglo-Saxon period and is best known as the home of physicist J. P. Joule the founding place and former home of and Sale Sharks rugby club.
Cheadle Hulme is a suburb of Stockport that formed from several small hamlets, rather than growing around a church which was usual for medieval villages. (also Stockport's first GA!)
The East Lancashire Railway 1844–1859 (ELR) only operated for 16 years, but in its short history it was threatened by competitors such as the North Union Railway, and was involved in a dangerous stand-off with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR). Eventually the ELR and L&YR were amalgamated in 1859.
Eccles, famous for the Eccles cake, is a town in the City of Salford that boomed with the Industrial Revolution. Along with Worsley, it is a proposed World Heritage Site.
Mellor hill fort is the only Iron Age hill fort in Greater Manchester and was only discovered in the 1990s.
Partington, in Trafford, is a town and civil parish that was until the Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894, a mainly agrarian community. With the opening of the canal, Partington became a major coal port and following the Second World War was expanded as an overspill estate for deprived parts of Manchester.
The town of Worsley was home to the Duke of Bridgewater's coal mines and is under consideration to be preserved as a World Heritage Site; the duke built the Bridgewater Canal to transport coal from the mines.
  • With all the project's success, we must be careful not to become complacent. In March, David Beckham was delisted as a Good Article because it lacked enough references and was poorly written in parts. Improving an article and getting it reviewed for GA is a lot of effort and it's a real shame to see the article delisted, but a reminder that our role as an article writer is two-fold: once we improve them, we have an obligation to maintain them. Beckham is the kind of person who is regularly in the news, so the article will get a lot of attention and need regular updating, and it was written by members of WP:FOOTBALL, but let's take it as a reminder of what's needed from us.
  • WT:GM: The project's talk page is a forum for discussion and to keep up to date with the latest project developments and initiatives put it on your watchlist! Recently there have been discussions on articles to be deleted, the congestion charge, how to get members involved and working together, and plenty of other stuff.

Aims

Our extant short-term project aims:

Over the past three months, we've succeeded in our aims of bringing Eccles and Worsley to GA status, thanks largely to the seemingly inexhaustible Parrot of Doom. Recently another aim was added: bringing Stockport to GA standard. It's currently C-class and has some well developed sections. It will be a difficult task, but worthwhile considering it's Greater Manchester's third largest settlement. Also, the importance of bringing Salford to GA has been emphasised; it's currently B-class and should be the easiest of our aims to accomplish, although it's been there for a long time. Let's see if we can put this one to rest soon.

The project compared

Over the past three months, WP:LOND and WP:YORK have had a massive upsurge in the number of articles under their auspices. And interestingly, WP:YORKS has had an upsurge in GAs (10), and WP:LOND has had an increase in both GAs and FAs (8 and 10 respectively), closing down the gap with WP:GM. Although WP:DERB appears to have lost a GA, one of their articles was incorrectly tagged; however Derwent Valley Mills is being prepared to become a Good Article candidate, and hopefully will be the project's first. With the recent retirement of Ddstretch and Espresso Addict, WP:CHES has lost two of its most active contributors, but is still managing to produce good articles such as list of castles in Cheshire (FL) and John Douglas (now a Good Article candidate). The majority of WP:MRSY's articles are now assessed and will hopefully go from strength to strength.

The project is always looking for new members, and if you spot an editor who makes good changes to Greater Manchester related articles why not invite them to join up by adding this template to their talk page: {{SUBST:Welcome WPGM}}.

Reminders...
  • Images!
    There are some good images around, but more are still needed if we're going to get a "lead/static image in every infobox of every town in the county"! The requested photographs category lists some of the articles needing images.

Deletion to be completed

Hi, you have done a good job in deleting the pages "Michele Trimarchi" and his personal interpretation' of "Neuropsychophysiology". But in the present page of Neuropsychophysiology (that is much more correct, indeed!) there are still two links to ISN (the site of Michele Trimarchi!!) that, in its turn, is a completely non-notable institute. As a matter of fact, it is a self-referential, blatant private organization whose founder (M.Trimarchi) is nor a doctor neither a psychologist, but someone looking for legitimation and visibility. The scientific discipline of neuropsychophysiology is something apart! Please, delete these two links and only then it will be possible to widen the article in a science-based objective manner. Thank you ---- PernillaPthor —Preceding unsigned comment added by PernillaPthor (talkcontribs) 17:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Blatant COI

This article in its entirety has been created and edited by PeterSymonds (talk · contribs). This and the Julian Koltun article are clear demonstrations of the barefaced greed of some cabals (which I shall not name here). It is obvious that[REDACTED] is worlds biggest force for libel and burying the truth for jimbo's insidious personal profit and to forward NewWorldOrder's agenda. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!

OHHH .. am I just supposed to remove the section when I'm done? I had been just tagging them. — Ched :  ?  03:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Ahh .. OK .. gotcha. One less step then, no need for someone to review. Will do. thx — Ched :  ?  03:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

When you get a chance, would you have a look at a few for me? In the 14900 section of #4, I added two from the 15000 section at the bottom. I wasn't sure what to do with them. Also: Kenneth Regan (murderer) ... I added the no refs tag, but I know we're big on removal of contentious material as well. I'm not really interested in researching this article, so is there anything else I should do? thanks Julian .. you've been a big help! — Ched :  ? 

G-Forces Web Management Deletion

Hi. You deleted a page I had created - GForces Web Management - today despite my having found an external source to establish notability. What can be done to have this page reinstated or, if this isn't doable, how can I have prevent this happening again? 10:24, 4th June 2009

Article deleted

Hi,

I am just wondering why you have deleted my article even there isn't any article (following link) about "Online quantitative market research" on wiki yet.

I am looking forward to hearing from you

RE: RE: G-Forces Web Management Deletion

I wasn't asking about that particular page i was asking about why i didnt recieve notification about the deletion of my Userpage and i was requesting a copy of my page so i could reload it without the vandalism. a revert would have been ok not a complete deletion.

Help

My account has been compromised. My username is Wireless Keyboard. Can you restore my account? I can prove that this account is me because I have a SHA-512 commitment on my identity. The code is: I like moo cows a lot. . Can you please restore my account. Can you also get a checkuser or someone to investigate my account. I believe that Pekayer11 is behind my account compromise. We know each other personally, and has spread rumors on hacking my account. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Class I Laser (talkcontribs) 14:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Malta – Poland relations

Hi, you closed the deletion discussion but no action has been taken on the article itself (though this may be some cache issue on my side). This just a note in case you missed a step while busily doing a bunch of other othings. Best.Bali ultimate (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Adminship

Thanks for your kind words. I have been asked once before to consider adminship, but declined. My primary goal is creating and improving articles, which I can do as a regular editor. It would be nice sometimes to be able to delete and protect articles, but I don't see myself ever being an extremely active admin. On the other hand, I hope I could make a pretty compelling case that I wouldn't abuse the tools either, and the community's expression of confidence in the fact that I'm here for good and not ill would be validating, I suppose. I notice that you are an admin. What do you find to be the best and worst parts of the job? Acdixon 17:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Date of death unknown/missing vs Year of death missing

Hi. Concerning this edit of yours I would to note that Category:Date of death unknown should be placed in talk pages only. Please read instructions in the category's page. This is a common mistake editors do. For article pages prefer the Category:Year of death missing. "Unknown" is not the same with "missing".

Re: move request

I'm not sure how to move categories, actually... –Juliancolton |  20:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I've already moved the entries, by changing the template {{WikiProject Index}}. (Though it takes time for the server to catch up).
All I need you to do is rename the page itself.
The Transhumanist    21:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
As far as I know, it's not technically possible to rename category pages, but you could just recreate it under the new title and redirect the old one. –Juliancolton |  21:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I think you are right. For an example of how it should look, see Category:Articles belonging to WikiProject Outline of knowledge. The Transhumanist    21:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your deletion of "Noted American Poet R.M. Engelhardt"

To Editor Mr. Julian Colton,

Hello Mr. Colton, how are you?


I recently noticed that you have deleted an old high school-english student of mine, a well-known and widely published poet-writer named (Robert M.) R.M. Engelhardt from your Misplaced Pages listings and I am very disappointed by this action since Mr. Engelhardt is a poet of note and has been published in over some 100 journals & zines in the US and abroad, on the internet and mostly in print.


And also, please Note regardless of your reasons, many well known "living writers" have a presence on Blogs & MySpace as well as other social media at this moment and your assumptions are seemingly generalized.If you do a google search, here is only a fraction of what appears.

So, to help you out here is a compiled list of some R.M. Engelhardt's status in the world of poetry and a few of his achivements and I hope that you will reconsider your actions soon. This was taken alone from one of his poetry links with permission.

Thank you,

Mr.David Marhaffer Teacher-Retired Albany, NY

Here? I'm pretty sure I removed about 99% of the bad links by fixing a few templates. –Juliancolton |  00:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
These "historical outline of" articles still have the old links:
Arizona • Arkansas • California • Colorado • Connecticut • Delaware • Florida • Georgia • Hawaii • Idaho • Illinois • Indiana • Iowa • Kansas • Kentucky • Louisiana • Maine • Maryland • Massachusetts • Michigan • Minnesota • Mississippi • Missouri • Montana • Nebraska • Nevada • New Hampshire • New Jersey • New Mexico • New York • North Carolina • North Dakota • Ohio • Oklahoma • Oregon • Pennsylvania • Rhode Island • South Carolina • South Dakota • Tennessee • Texas • Utah • Vermont • Virginia • Washington • West Virginia • Wisconsin • Wyoming
And so do these "List of x state symbols" articles:
Arizona • Arkansas • California • Colorado • Connecticut • Delaware • Florida • Georgia • Hawaii • Idaho • Illinois • Indiana • Iowa • Kansas • Kentucky • Louisiana • Maine • Maryland • Massachusetts • Michigan • Minnesota • Mississippi • Missouri • Montana • Nebraska • Nevada • New Hampshire • New Jersey • New Mexico • New York • North Carolina • North Dakota • Ohio • Oklahoma • Oregon • Pennsylvania • Rhode Island • South Carolina • South Dakota • Tennessee • Texas • Utah • Vermont • Virginia • Washington • West Virginia • Wisconsin • Wyoming

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of football players from small colleges

Juliancolton, I noticed you closed this AFD and deleted the article. Along with the initial article, I had also nominated List of basketball players from small colleges within the same AFD. — X96lee15 (talk) 03:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Small AWB task - search/replace comment prose

For the articles listed at User:The Transhumanist/Sandbox42...

Please replace:

"Leave this line in place"

with:

"LEAVE THIS LINE IN PLACE"

(without the quotes)

It's in a hidden comment, and so the caps serve as bold print. It's important that that part be seen.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Have fun.

The Transhumanist    03:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

We didn't say "please"

Please do another pass, and...

Replace:

"LEAVE THIS LINE IN PLACE"

with:

"PLEASE LEAVE THIS LINE IN PLACE"


Thank you.

Good luck.

Have fun.

eyes please

Sometime when you get the chance, would you take a look at Talk:Karol Sabath. I started the page, and think I got the cats right, but a more experienced set of eyes double checking wouldn't hurt. Thanks Julian - just let me know if I start pestering too much - I know you have your own work to do here too. ;) — Ched :  ?  00:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Hi. I see by your recent edits to Misplaced Pages:Admin coaching/Status#Active_coaches that you have an available slot for a student. Would you be interested in coaching me? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting that tired, old insult on my talk page. I had the block page all loaded and ready to go with that editor, but I guess I can close the tab now. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Would it be possible for you to move the article deleted through this AfD to my user space? I'm doing some categorizing/tagging work and think the list would be useful for that purpose. Thanks in advance. Strikehold (talk) 04:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Empty RfA pages

Hi Juliancolton. I've seen you around RfAs a lot, and I was wondering if you knew what to do with this empty RfA page created by an indefinitely blocked sock puppet. The nominating statement is simply "top user", and the nominee was not even notified of the nomination. I'm thinking it should be deleted, but I am not familiar with the process for dealing with such pages. Timmeh!(review me) 04:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Reply to question

Well, not quite dozens, only about one dozen so far. They're created in my userspace because that is the only way to edit in peace without being harassed by a band of 8-10 editors who don't like my layouts and have made a crusade of stalking my contributions. They claim to have community consensus, despite dissenting opinions, and have gone as far as trying to impose an illegal restriction on my edits - see here and here. Logically their vendetta doesn't hold much water - if they truly believe that their style preferences are also those of the community, then they need only step back and let some other editor revert when he comes across what he thinks to be a glaring travesty of the MoS. However, I think they have tainted any claims they might have had to impartiality by their obsessive behaviour. Rotational (talk) 08:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of MXC episodes.

Can you please explain your keep close when "wp:v states "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Misplaced Pages should not have an article on it.""? -- Jeandré, 2009-06-06t11:59z

Reply.
Concensus doesn't matter when wp:v says the exact opposite. wp:v is one the 4 most important policies on Misplaced Pages along with wp:npov, wp:nor, and wp:blp. If concensus was to keep vandalism or a copyright violation, consensus would also be trumped. -- Jeandré, 2009-06-06t14:13z
