Welcome to my talk page! No drama. If you start a conversation here, I'll reply here unless you request otherwise. Be nice. Any uncivil comments will be reverted on sight. That means no cursing. Make a section header by clicking (a) the "new section" button on top of the page, (b) the "talk to me" button to the right, or (c) by clicking here. I can keep track of messages easier. 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 • 9 •10

No drama.

Thunderstorm revert Why did you revert my edit to Thunderstorm? Explain because I don't understand. It does not need a heading, like you added, because it is the lead of the article. Click the "lead" for info about leads. Thanks! Jonathan speak out 01:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC) I read your response, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.244.59.186 (talk) 01:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC) No prob! Jonathan speak out 01:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Image:Navbarshop.png Do you still have a use for this image? If not, may I delete it? User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 01:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC) Sure..... Jonathan speak out 22:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC) Gone. If you need it back, let me know and I will restore it. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 22:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC) Welcome back It appears I haven't been very attentive lately, so a belated welcome-back you have from me! —Animum (talk) 17:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC) Hehe, thanks! Jon t 19:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC) User:Manboobies Hi there; this editor, whom you have nominated for username block, has been editing under this name since 2005. Did you check his contributions? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 20:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC) I think some people with that condition may find it offensive. Jon t 20:38, 10 August 2008 (UTC) 195.212.0.185 Following your "final warning" on the above IP editor's talk page, he/she made yet another vandalistic edit to Ariel Sharon, which I reverted. Only then did I check the IP's talk page and saw all the warnings. I do not know what happens now and I am not an admin, so I leave the next step to you. 6SJ7 (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC) Added note: I now see you are not an admin either, but your knowledge of the "warning sequence" is obviously far greater than mine. 6SJ7 (talk) 18:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)  Done - He should be taken care of VERY soon. Thanks! Jonathan talk - contribs - review me! 18:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC) hi! sorry for deleting your text, but you were right, it was not my intention. please have a look on what I did today and give me a feedback. thanks, eike —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flobux (talk • contribs) 16:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC) RE: Your edit "About this edit, you might want to tone it down a bit. The user may have found it more offensive than you meant it to be. Thanks! Jonathan talk - contribs - review me! 01:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)" Let me make sure I understand this. An anon editor vandalizes a page four times, his only four edits. I give him a final warning and he continues to vandalize. So I give him a sterner final warning telling him that if he vandalizes again he will not be warned again but will be blocked without further warning. And you're telling me to tone it down??? WP:NPA will not allow me to give you an honest response to your own tone, so let me just say I have read and dismissed your message as useless protection of vandals. And thanks for reminding me of why Wikipedia is broken. Now, if you don't mind, I'll kindly ask you, unless you have any additional problems with my edits, to please leave my talk page alone. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 01:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Hmmmmm...I will if you'll be civil. Jonathan talk - contribs - review me! 16:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Well, my hands are tied now. I must snap to attention and salute. You pulled an admin in on the situation. And a lot (but not all) admins aren't interested in creating a quality encyclopedia. They prefer to protect their own hide by not stepping on the toes of anon vandals. "Don't bite the newcomer" often really means "Let anon vandals do as they please so I don't have to come down hard on anyone." So, I congratulate you on a strategy well-played. If you aspire to be an admin, I have no doubt that you will be. And now, you can go ahead and "report" me for something, perhaps making another "nasty comment" on your user page. If you play it up right, you might get me blocked. That would only be the second block I've had in the two years I've been editing. The first one was by an admin who actually had some courage. He blocked me despite the fact that I was a "newcomer" because (not understanding anything) I violated 3RR without knowing I had violated anything. But I didn't whine about "biting the newcomer". I accepted it as necessary to maintain a quality encyclopedia. Unfortunately, most admins don't have that approach, and Wikipedia loses some of its best editors as a result. Ward3001 (talk) 00:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC) Crystal Mapping Deletion status Hello Jonathan. I can see why you thought crystal mapping unworthy of an entry. All I can say is that I'm doing this in good faith but I'm not sure how to proceed vis a vis the 'promotion' issue and some of the other problems. You're right I am the author of the only citation - will it help if I cite someone else's article about the subject. Also re crystallography and google counts - how do I get round that? The two things are entirely different? The background to the term and the subject is that crystal mapping is similar to concept mapping and mind mapping and a number of other such tools and processes but is distinctly different in the way it handles the subject and thus is a new method in its own right. The key to crystal mapping is the fact that it is based on a circle thus representing unity. I have a number of academics who would verify the uniqueness of the idea and process. This is not a spam / spurious idea of any sort and it is a genuine belief on my part and of others that crystal mapping is a new method and process and the intention is to get it increasingly recognised as such. Also I note that a brand of mind mapping software Mind Manager has a listing. Could I copy the way this has been listed for Crystal Mapping (i.e. as a branded product in the general area of mind mapping / concept mapping)as a start? Thsnka in anticipation of your comments —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark wogan (talk • contribs) 19:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC) It seems to be a neologism being promoted here. Jonathan talk - contribs - review me! 19:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Crystal Mapping Deletion status You are possibly right that it is a neologism - but thats a problem I'll have to deal with in a much more general sense than wiki entry. What if I use the term Crystal Map - would that cover off the neologism? I still can't figure how I can not promote the idea by entering it into wikipedia. Mind mapping promotes mind mapping and same for concept mapping? And surely mind manager is promting mind manager - thats advertising isnt it. I'm not trying here to sling any mud but i just dont know how else to make my case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark wogan (talk • contribs) 19:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Jonathan Have seen your use of Twinkle and read the user page, but it's not obvious to me how to install it. I use Firefox and have Windows XP. I'm only pretty basic in setting up software. Any tips appreciated, thanks. --Paul144 (talk) 20:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Thanks. I have the tabs. When you use TW like you did today on the dietary fiber page, do you use the "warn" tab when reverting? In other words, is that the most efficient tab for reverting spam?--Paul144 (talk) 21:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
