An invitation...

Hi, I've seen you frequently around the article Green Day and other related articles. Please consider joining the Green Day WikiProject, an effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage and detail regarding Green Day.

If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks that you can help with. Thank you for your time.

Prison Planet 1, Wikipedia 0

For tellin' it like it is... (in accordance with the laws of physics in the known universe)

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2008/040108_aol_bans.htm

But all is not lost! When it comes to intolerance for dissent (such as blanking out "heretical" discussions), Wikipedia wins hands down!

What a joke! Jethro Walrusditty (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Offtopic, but...

Looking at who's asking questions about Wikipedia in the UK Parliament is quite interesting. Conservative MP Stephen O'Brien seems to be going around every government department asking about what they've edited. --h2g2bob (talk) 22:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And the answers range from too expensive to find out to a complete log with diffs. BTW there is a little button on each page were you can vote if the answer was satisfactory. Agathoclea (talk) 08:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Important RFC

Your input would be helpful here. Perhaps you could settle this dispute over cabals. Thank you.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 02:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thank you

Hi Jimbo,

It's been about four weeks since you thanked those of us who honestly questioned you.[1] Can you give us an indication on when you might be responding to the questions? These things do need to be sorted out. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 06:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you email me with a specific question or set of questions, and if the questions are reasonable I can answer them either privately or publicly depending on what is most appropriate.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jimbo. Yes, that works for me, and I have emailed you. I hope you will answer as much as possible on-wiki regarding your role in shaping Wikipedia article content. I fully appreciate that there is a need for privacy as well. You could have emailed me. Take care, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 16:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uncyclopedia

Do you like Uncyclopedia? Reply here, or there. Ugh, it's the same. --RoryReloaded (talk) 08:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I like Uncyclopedia very much.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right... Well, I want to tell you about Scarian. Enigma and I have proved that he has been abusing his admin tools AND using sockpuppets. Oh, and he's been blocking people just because he doesn't like them. I've reported it on ANI. See for yourself. On his talk page. RoryReloaded (talk) 21:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Menudo problems again Jim...

Hi Jim,

As I'm not all that well versed on Wiki etiquette, my first entry into this particular incident will be made directly to you. Unfortunately, someone has begun vandalizing the Menudo page again. Before I try to undo any of the damage, I wanted to make contact with you prior to see how best to go about it. There is a lot of small changes that I can live with however, saying that our boy Emmannuel is, and I quote "An out and proud homosexual" is a complete fabrication. This kid is 16 years old and does not need this negativity in his life as he is just starting his career and following his dream.

This new addition needs to be removed ASAP:

"Another thing separating Emmanuel from his groupmates is that he's an out and proud Homosexual. Even still, he occasionally deals with the setbacks of being both Gay and Latin. "I don't discuss my love life too often, because it is kinda shunned in the Latino community. Don't mistake, I'm very proud of whom I am in all aspects, but I'd be lying to say that I sometimes play it safe to protect what privacy I have.

It was reported that Emmanuel may have been involved with a fellow cast member of the "Making Menudo" series. No word on the same of the other man, but it's almost certain it's what lead to the other contestant being cut."

Please advise me how to best fix this situation.

Thanks Christopher_R (talk) 18:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the section mentioned above, which was added by an anon; there was a source provided, but a number of search permutations turned up nothing at all to back up the claim. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank so much! Christopher_R (talk) 20:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MfD of disclaimer at Modernista!

Jimbo,

I assume you're aware, but just in case: the template you proposed be added to the Modernista! article is at MfD: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Modernista!/Notice. You may wish to participate. --barneca (talk) 20:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be deep confusion about the purpose and status of the template. NPOV is not the issue some people seem to think it is, and indeed, I can hardly understand what they are claiming. And this has nothing to do with the Foundation at this point. This has to do with maintaining the integrity of our work.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 02:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that I could make it only show up when the page is actually called from Modernista's frame, as a compromise that might be more palatable to everyone... would this be acceptable to you? --Random832 (contribs) 02:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
