Departure

Hey man, sorry to see you go. I wish you the best of luck as you pursue your studies. GlassCobra 02:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to see you go. You were a great editor as well as vandal fighter. I wish you the best of luck in your future. -- LAX 02:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's your faith; but I see no reason why being a good admin is not an act of righteousness, if done with humility as well. May you walk in the Light, friend; and may your journey lead you back to us here! --Orange Mike 03:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Really a shame to see you leave you're a tireless contributor. Just to let you know, Yasser Arafat has finally reached FA status. I know you will return eventually, so no goodbyes only see you later! --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to see you go. Please come back. :( Captain panda 02:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back!

Hello, Sir James Paul. I am glad to see that you are back editing Wikipedia! I hope you had a blessed Christmas. With regards, AnupamTalk 07:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, welcome back. It will be good to see you around RC patrolling and around the 'pedia more :) Qst 20:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Dear SJP, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).

Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.

Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E talk 12:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hello SJP, I have granted rollback rights for your account. The reason for this is that you are an effective vandal-fighter, and know the difference between a good-faith edit and vandalism. I know that you will not abuse rollback. If you don't want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 04:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) It's a recently implemented feature. Acalamari 02:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not: administrators have recently been given the ability to grant rollback, but making people admins, renaming users, and flagging bots is still a bureaucrat job, and I'm not a bureaucrat. Acalamari 17:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey, how's it goin'? I'm glad to see that you've decided to change your mind. Cheers, LAX 15:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing pretty well. BTW, thank you for supporting me in my RfA, really appreciate it. Cheers, LAX 22:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Za Ze Zo on optimizerone page - deletions were reverted back into effect

Please leave removed. There will be no more Za Ze Zo more page contributions from me. It was listed on DMOZ which was the first external reference link on metasearch engines wiki page, so I didn't want to duplicate that information with an external link on the Za Za Zo page, and it was already notable because of that external reference link's contents. The only reason I created the original ZAZEZO page was because I came to Wiki to find out about it, and I was amazed to find out there was no information on it. I created a template with "history" missing, as that's what I was looking for. I think some peoples views on notability in this case has hindered a worthwhile page and wasted my time and effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Optimizerone (talk • contribs) 19:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC) --Optimizerone (talk) 19:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Greetings

Hello SJP and welcome back. Well, I guess not much has changed since November. Indeed, non-admins are now able to get the rollback tool (in a move that stirred some controversy). I can't recall any other relevant changes, so probably no such changes occurred. :-) Best regards, Húsönd 20:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That meant, yes. :-) Regards, Húsönd 21:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFA thanks

Thanks for your support in my RFA, that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write! Thanks for your support. Lawrence § t/e 17:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Thanks

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian.

Hello

Good morning, James. A few months ago, I returned from my retirement. I was wondering if you could inform me of where Wikireligion has moved to, assuming it hasn't been abandon, and assuming you're still active. Cheers! -[[Ryan]] (me) (talk) 15:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented.

attempts to stifle truthful reporting on WP

HI SJP, An article that I created on WP - Letter of British Jews on 60th anniversary of Israel - has caught the ire of the gatekeepers and intimdators whose main purpose it to control what people are allowed to read and hear about. Can you joint the discussion here - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Letter of British Jews on 60th anniversary of Israel? thanks, SelfEvidentTruths (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

People's Encounter

That article was not AfD'd . . . it was prodded. As I understand it, a prod can be removed by anyone as long as the movie is shown to be notable. 70.186.172.75 (talk) 19:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No prob dude. I know vandals are a big prob and jumping the gun is understandable. If you really think the article needs to be zorched, take it to AfD, but i think there is a difference between patent nonsense and a badly written article. The film in question is mildly notable and the author of the article doesn't seem to know English that well, but it may be salvageable. Anyway, take care. 70.186.172.75 (talk) 11:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temazepam reverts, vandalism

Please will you not revert my edits as vandalism. I have over several weeks proofread the article against its references and corrected numerous factual inaccuracies and misrepresentation. Reference not saying what article cites, reference being about something else, reference being about a different substance. I have worked severela weeks to correct these errors and remove erroneous materials. TheGoodson and Literaturegeek have reverted my edits as a block, the work of several weeks, without a single word of discussion or considerations for the reasons given. How do you arrive at vandalism? 70.137.137.130 (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you see there is the cumulative effect of many edits. I did a proofreading against the references and removed references which were the evening news, newspaper articles, a BBC film report, a leaflet for school children, some bestseller books, investigational journalism. Also I removed several references where the reference itself doesn't state a fact as own result but merely cites another reference as a side note. In these cases I asked for the original reference, such that I can proofread the citation. Also I removed reference to "a british study says", where no pointer to such study is included as unreferenced material. This is hearsay, as long as not properly referenced. Also I removed numerous references, where the reference was not about temazepam, but another substance, didn't even mention temazepam, was misrepresented. To the point that the article was about "effects of flurazepam", but included as a reference "effects of temazepam" We have to be a little precise in our references. Then I removed anecdotal references, where some braindamage was found in a patient, who had abused nitrazepam. The doctors had not seen him before the abuse. The article was represented as "braindamage from temazepam". Furthermore I removed references, where the reference mentions the claims of the article with no word, and is about something unrelated. You have seen the cumulative effect of my dozens of edits, which really consolidate the article. Yes it removes "huge amounts" of "referenced materials" and I have in each case explained why. I have not seen a response for weeks, and no contest and no discussion either. I don't intend to do the work a second time. Now my work has been deleted without any consideration of the reasons I included, as a block. I don't let that sit. It is also not a policy that I have do discuss edits before doing them. In fact, edits with a clearly stated reasoning should not be reverted without discussion. I have not seen the authors of the article doing any previous discussion on their edits. They just edit and say its referenced. This is not how WP works. How else do you think it should be done? If the ref says "A" and the article says "B", see ref, shall I discuss it before touching? 70.137.137.130 (talk) 22:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your understanding. Now you have seen. In fact they reverted me first after weeks of not responding to any attempts of discussion. You will find the whole long and tedious history in the talk pages of several benzodiazepine articles, look at talk temazepam. So I finally took the effort to go through the references one by one and proofread against them, then doing a series of bold edits. They have now all been reverted, as the original authors didn't want to discuss or comment any of my edits. Then they yelled "vandalism!" and "3rr!" and had me and the article blocked. Now it is as before. This is foul play. Go through my edits please, they are a long list, and see if what I had to say makes sense. You have to open the references indeed by clicking on the PMID, otherwise it appears to be all ok and everybody wonders what I have to complain. Besides I am an old fart and have worked 35 years in R&D, so I know how to do a methodical proof reading. No kidding. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you can do now to limit the damage is to undo the revert that has been done to my changes in consequence of a false vandalism alarm. Unfortunately I had the same problem with the same authors before. They just stayed quiet, until I had accumulated enough edit, didn't respond to attempts of discussion. Then they reverted all without comment, and if I reverted back they yelled vandalism and edit war and had the page locked. As the accumulated edit appeared as a large chunk, they were successful selling this as vandalism. Teacher, a vandal deleted huge amounts of scientific referenced material. Then the admins fell for the same illusion as you did. I don't know to whom to complain, but they have blocked any changes to the page in this way. I regard that as foul play. See discussion. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 00:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, protecting the page was not foul play. But reverting my edits without any discussion 3 times and then yelling vandalism, 3rr and "edit war" and get the admin to believe it is vandalism was foul play. The admin did all ok. Only my edits are now all reverted. This was foul play because I feel it was a misuse of WP policies and vandalism safeguards by the editors who reverted me and then got the admin to intervene. 70.137.137.130 (talk) 00:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

How is that nonconstructive editing? it shouldn't have been there really and i was only making that better, as i'm new to it so didn't know what to do, where to go etc, and only really posted to get help. I have also been in communications with the person in question, so a warning for that was a bit over the top mate. Like i said though, it was me that didn't have a clue so it's all my own fault, so sorry if any harm has been done. Bob --90.203.114.86 (talk) 08:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Cheers mate, you too. I'm finally getting the hang of it now, reasons for editing and all, so hopefully i'll cause no more bother( it did all come from me and i didn't even know if i was allowed at the time, so) Anyway, have a good day mate.--Tireless (talk) 08:07, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
