Welcome to my user talk page!

Please do all of the following:
  • Always link to the text, image, or edit you want to discuss. When linking to an image, use a colon. For example, "[[:Image:Example.jpg]]" produces "Image:Example.jpg".
  • Don't forget to provide a proper Edit Summary for each and every edit, and a proper signature for each and every post to a talk page or notice board. I may revert edits that do not have such features, rather than respond to them.
  • Reply to interactive messages at the location of the original topic to not scatter talk all around, fracturing the discussion. I do have nearly all pages I have posted to recently on my Watchlist. If I missed a comment, please use {{Talkback}} to drop me a short reminder with a link here.
  • Respect my babel boxes.
  • If you're copying files from another project to Wikimedia Commons, be sure to use the CommonsHelper.
  • If your text or image is lacking source, license, or permission, fix that instead of asking here what is wrong. There should be a message on your talk page explaining things in detail. Apologies for having to be so clear if this message is not related to the matter you would like to address.
  • Post here if you want to reach me, or reply to a post below via the edit link above that post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Hi!

I'm writing with your recent reversal of my edit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:ConsPro/Jebronie_Thanksgiving&oldid=282810948 ). This article is clearly a hoax, including dead references to articles that do not exist, a photo of another person than the one described in the article. I have reinstated my edit. Please, let's not edit war. before making any other changes to the article in question, you may want to review the similarities between that article and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_stone . Thanks. Civilly, 207.237.33.36 (talk) 23:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:ConsPro/Jebronie Thanksgiving, as it was last touched by ConsPro on 28 December 2008, was not an article, instead it was a parody on a user subpage that just looked like an article. As such, its author (and appropriately the user in whose user space it resides), ConsPro, should have been given a wide degree of latitude. Any warnings about that page should have gone on that user's user talk page User talk:ConsPro, not on the user subpage User:ConsPro/Jebronie Thanksgiving itself.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. I guess I was confused because that page was included in the Category: Male Pornographic film actors (see this edit). While I see that the warning was misplaced on my part, I don't agree that this user should have be given a "wide degree of latitude", since that page violated several items that should not be on a user page (such as non-encyclopedic related material; roleplaying sessions, and other things pertaining to "entertainment" rather than "writing an encyclopedia"; images which are not free to use; and categories intended for other usage, in particular those for articles and guidelines). Additionally, I don't really see this user as being a regular Wikipedian. So...how to proceed? Should this user sub-page be restored and then nominated for speedy deletion? 207.237.33.36 (talk) 06:00, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think that would be the best solution. Please go ahead and do that, or I will if you want me to.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 12:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WOW, that took some time to figure out, but I think I've done it all correctly. Please check it out:
Thanks. 207.237.33.36 (talk) 06:26, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
However, please note that you should have created Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:ConsPro/Jebronie Thanksgiving and then transcluded it (as Aervanath did in this edit).   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 14:50, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I had so much trouble getting the mfd: users without accounts can not create pages. 207.237.33.36 (talk) 07:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So please consider creating an account for yourself so you can create pages (among other benefits). Thanks.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 14:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don't mean to be wasting your time with this (it's more conversational than anything), but there are good reasons for not having an account. Anyway, the page was deleted and all is good in Wikiland. Thanks for your help. 207.237.33.36 (talk) 22:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the revert

Thanks for the revert on the FIBT World Championships 1998. Greatly appreciated. Chris (talk) 15:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 15:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ta for that

I have got so used to fiddling with welcome messages templates for some very weird new eds that I almost forgot the rigmarole of the correct format for the escalating vndlsm warnings - how could i forget... hmmm - thanks SatuSuro 14:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Syed Ahmed edits

Jeff happy to discuss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syed_Ahmed_(entrepreneur)?diff=285077167 - however I strongly dispute that my edits violate any neutral reporting policy. Quite the converse. The entire article had been slanted to paint the most negative picture possible of Mr Ahmed. I hardly think that quoting the fact he obtained exams is non-neutral it is a matter of public record and published.

With regard to the deletion of the reference to Syed's parents. In no place in the article was it stated that this what they hoped. I also fail to see the relevance of this to Mr Ahmed biography.

Please also forgive an incidental mistakes or faux pas on wiki. I am a new inexperienced user still getting to grips with it all. User:Amicaveritas 21:42 20 April 2009 BST —Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I believe Talk:Syed Ahmed (entrepreneur) is the best place to discuss the inclusion or exclusion of individual allegations about Syed Ahmed (entrepreneur).   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Mike Dempsey. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 01:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff - is the above post of yours in error? I've never edited Mike Dempsey and there is now consensus my edits to Syed Ahmed's profile are not vandalism - which they were never intended to be. If you'd like to contribute: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Syed_Ahmed_.28entrepreneur.29 Amicaveritas (talk) 16:58, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was an error. It was intended to be for Mykeed on User talk:Mykeed. Sorry for any implication about you. Regarding Syed Ahmed, I believe Gwen Gale has the situation well in hand.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK. No problem. Thanks. Amicaveritas (talk) 18:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern blotting

Eastern blotting is the detection of post translational protein modification and is not to be confused with Far eastern blotting. The technique used by Tanaka is Far Eastern and not Eastern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.109.98.97 (talk) 01:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss that issue on Talk:Eastern blotting.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 01:58, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not remove content "without explanation". I stated that I did not believe the content was necessary. If you undo edits you should explain why, unless it is very clearly vandalism. It is not clear to me if you actually object to the edit or if you didn't even bother to look at what I had done (as just happened twice with another article I edited, bread, where sensible edits were inappropriately undone). 86.150.101.209 (talk) 02:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

The initials you removed were honorifics, symbols of honors awarded by Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England. Removal of them was disrespectful.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know what they are and what they mean. If you look at how other people present the players' names in this draw you will see that almost no one includes them. I'm being generous with "almost"; I couldn't find a single example. They're unnecessary -- positively weird, in fact -- in a results summary like this. 86.150.101.209 (talk) 03:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
I raised this on the article's talk page. You may wish to comment there. 86.134.55.144 (talk) 13:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
 Done, thanks.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 15:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dude ! I worked hard on making the "Southern Ontario" page good, and you just came and ruined hours of work ! Why did you do that ? You said I vandalized it ? How on earth did I vandalize it ? Can you please look at the edits I had made. It was a few lines and I added so much information just to see it destroyed within a second. Not cool —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilthyBear (talkcontribs) 02:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my and the other comments on your user talk page.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 03:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Welcome to Wikipedia

Jeff, this is a high school IP address. 64.5.147.37 (talk) 13:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it appears to be a TV Station IP Address. That has been blocked.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 15:45, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
