Hungami Halat

Hi, I have created the Hungami Halat page again following the guidelines provided wikipedia. This time my article was not selected for speedy deletion, but i would like you to review it and let me know if it does not follow the guidelines in anyway. I would love to have the opportunity to correct it.

Hi, can you explain me why you deleted links of Rodrigo Rodriguez, such as "Myspace", many artists have this link. What is wrong? Here is a clear exemple; this artist has the link of "myspace".Tila Tequila —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.1.222.37 (talk) 12:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

Somali clan

Hi. The section deleted from Somali clan was moved to Transitional Federal Government. This is stated in the edit summary. I explained my reasons on Talk:Somali clan a while ago and have allowed time for objections to be made there. I'm not very new to Wikipedia and have been involved in editing this page since its inception. Please could you restore my edits? (Actually one has already been restored by another editor.)

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

WHY DID YOU DELETE THE LOGAN HIGH STUFF?????

Obviously...it's simple Wikipedia violations. It's unneeded, and unnecessary. Jmlk17 23:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

STOP BITCHING AND STOP DELETING MY HARD WORK

Sorry; it's an unnecessary section. Jmlk17 23:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

how is it unnecessary it is wikipedia

You don't need to list an ENTIRE staff roster. Create a link to an off-Wikipedia website instead. Jmlk17 23:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

how?

Try linking to the school site. It's just not encouraged on Wikipedia to list an entire group's members or listing. Jmlk17 23:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to barge in, but this appears to be a content dispute. Please resolve it on the talk page. Reach a consensus and then implement it. In the mean time, stop reverting each other and reporting to WP:AIV. Also, remember the three revert rule. --Selket ^Talk 23:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

NHL/NBA scores

The reason I reversed the NBA and NHL scores to put the winner first wasn't just a matter of personal preference. It's been agreed that for North American sports scores, the winner should be placed first, regardless of where the match was played. This practice is standard in North American sports media. From the main sports events portal, if you click on "Edit this page" and then scroll down below the "Sports timeline" to the beginning of the daily descriptions, you'll see the following as a comment:

NOTE: When reporting North American sports results (i. e. Baseball, American football), please list the winning team first, regardless of where the game was played. Thanks.

Hope this clears things up. — Dale Arnett 07:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect revert

Just so you know, you warned this user for removing content from Minutes to Midnight (album),however your revert was incorrect: here.

Native Japanese names for China in Wikipedia article, "Names of China"

Why did you revert the edits that added information about the historical Japanese names of China, namely Kara (唐, 漢) and Morokoshi (唐, 唐土)? You deleted this inherently relevant information along with several additions to the sections that had already been established, such as the fact that the Manchu name for the Han Chinese, Nikan, was also conjugated as a verb, nikarambi, and used to mean "to speak Chinese." Ebizur 09:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I did not find it to be as well organized as the previous version. My suggestion would be to try a re-write. Jmlk17 09:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

On having been welcomed

Hi! Thanks for the welcome in my temporary guise as 81.178.208.228. My login had actually just dropped out, but I didn't notice as I did the edit - but I'm strangely pleased to get a welcome anyway as I arrived here too early to get one for real :) (and let's face it, I'm the very definition of an infrequent contributor - 7500 edits is impressive) Rob linham 10:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you Jmlk17, for voting on my RfA. Although it failed, I will try to improve in the ways pointed out to me, and maybe I will become an admin next time. If you have any comments, questions, etc., you know where to go. ¿SFGiДnts! ☺ ☻ 21:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The myspace page was unnecessary, as it promoted the article bio more than actually provided a source. The official website seems to be more than enough. Jmlk17 07:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Reporting usernames to AIV

Hi Jmlk17! I noticed you just reported a user to AIV for having an inappropriate username. I've blocked the user, but I'd like to take this chance to make you aware of Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, which is the new venue for reporting usernames, just to keep the two facets separate. There's no problem with reporting to AIV still, but if you can ease into reporting usernames to UAA, that'd be great :) Keep up the good work, – Riana_ऋ 09:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kindness! :) I appreciate it. – Riana_ऋ 09:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear John

Erm ... yes, that was me farting about with the Dear John page (not logged in) but then it was only 4 lines when I started... and there seemed to be a total lack of information on it which seemed a shame. However, I'll leave it now as it probably does need editing/cutting down by someone else. Find it difficult to separate opinion from fact sometimes and to write in the appropriately charmless and emotionally dead style appropriate to an encyclopedia.

hi, please discuss on the talkpage of the article what you object to in my edits. especially compared to the absolutely dire article that was there before. oh, and using vandalproof to revert non-vandalism edits is a strict no-no! cheers. 86.27.129.210 10:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

From what I saw, you had completely gone through and either deleted an entire section, or had copyedited in an incorrect manner. Therefore, I reverted it. And I do know how to use the program, as I have read through the manual, thank you :). Jmlk17 21:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

so why arent you reverting it now? or did you have a sudden change of heart?

Admin coaching

Hey, let's do it. Now, this will be my first attempt so we'll go gently at first! Perhaps the first thing to do is to tell me more about your contributions to WP, what you enjoy doing, what you find frustrating and what you'd like to learn more about. That way we can gauge which direction the coaching should head in. All the best The Rambling Man 11:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Alpha Phi Alpha

Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Alpha Phi Alpha. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you.

Pictures are not redundant. That's like saying you can't provide a photo of someone withing the caption provide a link to the person's article. Some readers may not want to view the linked article if the photo in the current article provide the visualization needed by that reader. Thanks for trying to improve Alpha Phi Alpha and other GLOs.--Ccson 13:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Vandalproof 'user list corrupt'

Jon Stewart at Pi Kappa Alpha

I wasn't quite sure what his status was, but I figured he had left as a pledge just because someone had changed it to say he wasn't initiated. Good work with the wikiproject btw. Acidskater 22:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I remember finding that the day after you reverted my delete, I just didn't think I would need to use it, lol. Thanks for the props as well, your doing an amazing job keeping articles clean of vandalism. Acidskater 04:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Jmlk, I removed the non-encyclopedic info entirely. Left you a message in the edit summary but wanted to expand it here. If you sign into pikes.org, you can verify he is still a member in good standing by doing a Member Search for Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz at Gamma Chapter (College of William & Mary). It's a shame we can't cite this source since one needs to sign into the site in order to use it. Properly, every single person on the list should require a citation for verifiability. The misleading information about Stewart appears in nearly all of his biographies on-line. 67.100.185.234 23:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Carom 23:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You're very welcome - let me know if you have any questions! Carom 00:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Checking in

Hey there, nice to hear from you. Well I've expanded my anti-vandalism work which is why vandalism on my user page has sky rocketed the past month. But oh well, it's a badge of honor I've guess. Since the fraternity and sorority articles are in good hands thanks to you and other editors of the project I'll be focusing more on other areas and trying to get back to the wiki projects I've joined which ironically doesn't include the fraternity wikiproject. Lately I've also been active in Commons trying to upload some of my personal wiki useful pictures. I notice that you've just joined the Military history WikiProject. That's a good one. Always a lot to do there. I also noticed that you're grooming to become an admin. Well, based on your edits I'm sure you'll be one eventually, it's just a matter of time. It would be nice to have an admin that will watch over the fraternity and sorority articles. Keep up the tremendous work! --† Ðysepsion † ^{Speak your mind} 03:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Coaching

Hey, I haven't forgotten about you... I've been kind of busy using some of the new tools you get when you're promoted to admin, mainly deleting attack pages before too much damage is done. I'll spend some time considering what you've told me and come up with a plan of attack. In the meantime, if you have any specific questions then fire away. All the best for now, The Rambling Man 18:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Waterfront

The Changes I made to Louisville Kentucky's waterfront park were not vandalism. Have you ever been to waterfront park and the great lawn? The park does have a noisy and ugly interstate viaduct crossing it. Are you even from Louisville? Stunoland 09:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

No I am not actually. But I don't believe that "A noisy and ugly viaduct crossing it" belongs in an article like that. It's a NPOV statement. Jmlk17 09:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

So this article is basicly an advertisement for the city?Stunoland 09:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not saying that. If you want to find a picture of the waterfront with the viaduct running through it, please...go right ahead. All I'm saying is I saw no picture of a viaduct, noisy, ugly, or otherwise. If you feel like having that in the article, at least put a picture of it in or something. Jmlk17 09:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

If you would like to discuss this further, I would be more than happy to! :) Jmlk17 09:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Bronze Soldier of Tallinn

You have reverted my including a link to a Youtube clip under discussion, referring to WP:LINKS. I believe your reversal is in error, as per clause 2 of 'What should be linked'. This clip is clearly a piece of "media" under discussion in the context of the link. Even though the clip can be considered to meet the criteria of the 'personal web page' clause of 'Links normally to be avoided', the passage of the article discusses a notable grass-root phenomenon, and this can not be properly illustrated otherwise -- even as the analysis of notability of that clip is presented through newspaper sources. Digwuren 06:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a perfectly good explanation to me. As I said in my entry on your talk page, I was unsure of my reversal, but now I know I was in error. Thank you for the explanation, and happy editing! Jmlk17 06:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Phi Kappa Psi

What happened was I first sent in the MedCab request, which was answered, but SlamDiego rejected the persons opinion. During that whole sock puppet issue, i had also put in a request for formal mediation, but it was rejected because there had been no response by the MedCab at that time, and thus at the time did not warrant a decision by the MedCom. The request was denied and archived. I believe that the request has to be deleted before any new action on the same issue can be sent back to the MedCom. That is how I have understood it. Its just a standing period right now, which might be a good thing. I have really backed off the issue, but if a request is put in again i will participate if asked.

speeedy grace period?

Isn't there supposed to be a grace period, before we apply {{db}} tags.

You applied a speedy tag to Rahmatullah Mansoor three minutes after it was created.

I know pruning obvious cruft from the wikipedia is important. But, my personal experience is that those who volunteer for this task don't always comply with the wikipedia's policies and procedures.

• Some volunteers show bias when they apply tags, or complete the deletions.
• Some closing admins don't honour {{hangon}} tags.
• Some closing admins fail to read the article histories for themsleves, so they will finalize the deletion of articles that look like crap, only because they have been vandalized.

Can I ask why you didn't use the {{prod}} tag? What was the rush?

Cheers! Geo Swan 09:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

My apologies, but in my experience, quite more often than not, pages that deserve a db tag and do not at the time, are often passed over for some time. You obviously created a page that was in the minority on that issue, and for the inconvenience, I apologize. But I stand by what I saw at the time. Jmlk17 07:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Tagging of Rahmatullah Mansoor

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Rahmatullah Mansoor. I do not think that Rahmatullah Mansoor fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because The newspaper articles cited are at least an asseertion of significance or imoprtance.. I request that you not re-tag Rahmatullah Mansoor for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES ^(talk) 00:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Planet Half-Life

I'm not sure who "76.19.57.22" is, but the "edits" he or she did to the Planet Half-Life page were not work, they were blatant slander against staff of the website and not fit for a wikipedia article. I appreciated your removal of the material, but I notice it has reappeared. Can you do me a favor (since I am one of the people NAMED in this article, which is completely inappropriate) and keep an eye on the article and warn the user if he/she vandalizes it again?

Reverting vandalism

Thank you for reverting some of the vandalism done this day to "James Douglas (Governor)". When reverting vandalism, though, please take care not to miss part of the damage done, as you did in this case. Because vandals often work piece-meal, it is needful to look through a vandalised page's history so as to find the last "clean" editing. Missing part of the vandalism can result in "buried" vandalism, which can lingering in an article for a long time. In this case, two different vandals (or at least two different IPs) were at it, making matters less straightforward than usual, and thus calling for more than ordinary care. Please take this advice in the friendly spirit in which it is given, but please do heed it. Thank you.

Guitar Hero II

Hi, I'm confused about how my entry into the Guitar Hero II section about the downloadable content violated WP's neutrality policy. A search by Google for Guitar Hero's downloadable content revealed multiple instances of not only players voicing displeasure but gaming sites as well. I referenced three sources in the article as verification. Furthermore the price of 500 MS Points is accurate and factual and needn't have been deleted. Thirdly, the interview with Major Nelson was also factual, referenced, and explained the cost of the packs giving balance to the section. The criticism of the track pack pricing is a considerable issue which I thought was worthy of mention, and nowhere in the edit did I refer to any of my own opinions or feelings. In fact I consider the pricing to be reasonable and have argued against those saying they are too expensive.

Lastly, the line I omitted, "This, of course, remains to be seen" I felt was unncessary and detracted from the encyclopedic prose of the article, making it sound more like an author's review. If anything, this line ought to be considered as personal opinion.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hey Andrew. I reverted the edit because it just seemed out of place in the section. If it was to be criticized, I believe it should have been placed in a smaller subsection and expanded. Jmlk17 03:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
