: Jerry, in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Kid Nation participantsclosing the AfD for List of Kid Nation participants]], you had mentioned the 7-Day Recap, saying "I really liked (but did not rely upon) the 7-day recap... that's a neat idea." That inspired a couple of us to work on it as a template for future use, and it is now functional (as far as we can tell it works). I was wondering if I might be able to solicit your comments and recommendations on it. It's located at [[User:VigilancePrime/Templates/Recap]] and could be used as a standing template or as a SUBST template, I think. We'd appreciate your expertise and opinions on it.

== [[Nial Djuliarso]] ==

The article [[Nial Djuliarso]] has been deleted again. I am tired of having to explain that Nial Djuliarso is a prominent musician in Indonesia. I created the page of Nial Djuliarso. Although he is not notable in the US, he is a notable jazz musician in Indonesia, because he's a child prodigy of jazz and has created a number of recordings which won awards in Indonesia. Deletion of his article is regretted. Again, I am really sad that Wikipedia uses American standard for notability, while ignoring people from developing countries. We can see categories such as Indonesian Journalist, Indonesian Musician, and Nial Djuliarso is one of them. (Sorry for the late comment regarding this matter because I was away to give birth of my son). The AFD has been discussed many times, it has been [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_January_10|contested]] and approved to be reinstated. Please explain why [[Nial Djuliarso]] is deleted again on January 23. [[User:Chaerani|Chaerani]] ([[User talk:Chaerani|talk]]) 14:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page

You are also invited to email me at: jerry@lavoie.com. Occasionally I repost emails that I receive to this talk page, however I remove sensitive material and personally-identifying information, such as email address, first.

I frequently collapse sections once I think the conversation is done. The section will appear as a purple bar with a summary and a link that says "show". If you are leaving me a follow-on comment for such a collapsed section, please add the new comments below the collapsed section, NOT in it. If you add comments inside a collapsed section, I may never see them.

Jerry's 10 talk page rules

  1. Please no foul language, threats or namecalling.
  2. If there is any possibility (at all) that I meant well, assume that is the case, until proven or admitted otherwise. I will do the same.
  3. Please append your wikisignature to all comments.
  4. Please do not add any contentious material about me or any other living person.
  5. Stop means stop. If we are in a heated argument, and I ask you to stop sending me messages on this page, then simply stop. If you think my conduct requires a review:
  6. Do not leave messages containing any personally-identifying information about children, including yourself.
  7. If you are here because a template showed up on your article or talk page, and you want to know why; 99% of the time, the information you seek is located right on the template itself. Please have the courtesy to read it first, then come here to complain or ask additional questions.
  8. If I deleted an article/ image, etc, and you want to know why, please look at the log for the page... I usually leave a detailed explanation including a code like "CSD#G12, COPYVIO, Content was..." If you go to the deletion policy, you will likely find your answer faster than sending me a message.
  9. If you do decide to ask me why your article, image, etc. got deleted, please tell me which one you are talking about. I delete many things a day, most days, and it can be very difficult for me to figure out which one you're talking about. This is particularly impossible if you are not logged-in, and your current IP Address is different than what it was when you created the article, uploaded the image, etc.
  10. If you are here to complain about another editor, for whatever reason, please consider using one of the forums to alert all administrators of the problem. This will get you faster service, from among dozens of patrolling admins.

Notice regarding deletion reviews

This user is an active closing administrator at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you are considering initiating a formal review of a recent closing, it is requested that you attempt to have a discussion with me first, as suggested by the instructions at the top of WP:DRV. Please give me at least one day to respond, and keep in mind that we may be in different time zones. If you have a valid reason that my determination of consensus may be flawed, I do appreciate the opportunity to consider it and revert my own closing or explain to you my difference of opinion without the wikidrama that is often created at DRV. If you are here to drop me a template notice of a DRV that you have already initiated, but we have not discussed it yet, please consider closing that delrev and talking with me first. Just add the comment "please close this discussion until I have a chance to discuss this with the closing administrator per WP:DRV" to the discussion, and an administrator will surely close it shortly (as long as other editors have not significantly participated yet). Thank-you for your consideration.

re: "Mild as May"

D'oh! Thanks for catching that. -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:BennyHill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BennyHill.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fair use rationale was there, but apparently the bot code can only see it if it is in a template. I added the template to appease the bot, and removed the di-tag. JERRY talk contribs 19:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question on neat idea

Jerry, in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Kid Nation participantsclosing the AfD for List of Kid Nation participants, you had mentioned the 7-Day Recap, saying "I really liked (but did not rely upon) the 7-day recap... that's a neat idea." That inspired a couple of us to work on it as a template for future use, and it is now functional (as far as we can tell it works). I was wondering if I might be able to solicit your comments and recommendations on it. It's located at User:VigilancePrime/Templates/Recap and could be used as a standing template or as a SUBST template, I think. We'd appreciate your expertise and opinions on it.
