Good Article Push

Hey Julian. I am doing a new article on drought in the UK in my sandbox and so far, I reckon with a bit of help it could be a dyk and ga etc. I have the sources ready if you are wondering and since you are really good at this (wih all yours!), I was wondering if you could lend me a hand in getting it to this status once it is published. However if you do not have the time or whatever, it is fine, I shall do my best! :) Regards. AtheWeatherman 22:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Is there anything in particular you need assistance with at the moment? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is in working progress, and once I have finished the draft (probably in around a week or two) on the sandbox, I will publish it wih refs and all. After that I will maybe nominate at DYK, and possibly at GA. It is then I may require assistance, just pointers and occasional content, to get it to that standard! Thanks for the offer, and I shall hope to speak soon. Regards. AtheWeatherman 17:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Julian

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alex_Hammer which you had deleted. Please inform how basic information about, myself, Alex Hammer, candidate for Governor of Maine, http://www.hammer2010.com/ can be included on Wikipedia for Wikipedia community to edit. I possess an accomplished background, for example you might compare to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Quinlan whose favorable Wikipedia entry has been allowed to stand in this Gubernatorial race http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_gubernatorial_election,_2010.

Thank you very much for your consideration Alex Hammer hscpub@aol.com (207) 945-5240 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.111.64.44 (talk) 13:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Well, given the rather clear consensus at the deletion discussion, you'd need to prove that you are sufficiently notable for inclusion. This is best done by finding substantial coverage of yourself in secondary, reliable sources. That said, it's generally best to avoid editing articles about yourself so as to avoid potential conflict of interest issues.

If there's anything else you're unsure about, please do not hesitate to let me know. Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chauncey Leopardi

Considering that your nom was procedural in nature, no Delete-arguments being raised, and the fact that the original speedy tagger has indicated that they no longer wish to pursue deletion [1], would you be okay with withdrawing it? Regards, decltype (talk) 15:47, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weather Map

Hello, When you were getting the weather map for Hurricane Greta, how did you get the image to open because I can get to the site, but am not able to open the images. --Anhamirak 19:17, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coaching

Hey Julian, can we continue? iMatthew ^talk ^{• take my poll} at 00:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but would it be alright if I get to it tomorrow? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. iMatthew ^talk at 01:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trouting time...

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Rollback rights

I've thought long and hard about it, and can I have my rollback rights restored because I would be using my Alternate Account to view my watchlist on my iPod. Darren 23 ^{My Edits} 13:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Canon Camcorders

Hi JC

I'm in the process of implementing the decision from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canon DV 012, which you closed. Please could you undelete the talk page for me?

Thanks—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 14:48, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure,

Done. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:39, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing and AFD listings

If you're interested, could I ask you to consider commenting on this? - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 17:44, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Julian please help me!

I dont know what ALT TEXT is! Please help me do it on the February 2009 tornado outbreak. Showtime2009 (talk) 02:29, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you've done a good job with it so far. I did a bit of tweaking which should resolve the concerns listed at the FAC. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:41, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for rollback permission

G'day Julian. Just a quick one - was hoping you'd be kind enough to provide me with rollback permission. Let me know if you need any further information. Cheers, --DWZ (talk • email • contribs) 05:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When is it appropriate....

To refactor another editors talk page? [[2]] I have left a lvl 1 warning on this page for refactoring another users talk page that was clarly not vandalism. I have since been told that because I have a colorful history it is an invalid warning. I would like to have a few admin go and comment one way or another to this as I believe my actions were not only appropriate but very moderated. Thank You.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the situation if you wish, however the prevailing opinion has been if you make 60,000 edits it's ok to discount others polite opinion because "they have bit a newbie (once) and have poor grammer." This wasn't a personal issue but a disturbing attitude trend.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 11:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd have to see the diff(s) in question before I can make an informed judgment. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:10, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved with user. Both sides took something away from situation.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 18:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My RFAR

Hello, I expected it wasn't going to pass but I am glad I tried because it shows I have a chance.

I do have a few questions.

Can I modify the RFAR sections about questions for me? I never was able to answer Flaming Lawyer's questions.

Also, can a non-admin comment on the administrator's noticeboard?

Thank you! :) --Rockstone (talk) 17:38, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. First of all, it's called "RFA"; RFAR is something entirely different. :-) That said, it's generally best to avoid editing archived discussions. The questions are there to help participants decide how to vote, so if the RfA is archived, I don't see a point in answering them.

Re. your other question, yes, anybody may participate in discussions at AN. Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RfA

My plan is to wait at least another year before I self nom, but to accept offers of nominations by other people before then, if anybody trusts me enough to nominate me. Dendodge _T\^C 21:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, go ahead if you like—I won't stop you. Dendodge _T\^C 21:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's eleven at night for me, so I don't think it would be wise for me to start answering questions just yet, and I'm going out for the day tomorrow, so I probably won't get round to accepting the nomination until about 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Dendodge _T\^C 22:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, that's fine. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, TPS has interest in participating. Looks like a support. :) ceranthor 23:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roll-back

I respect your decision to refuse my roll-back request. The reason you gave was edit warring. This worries me a little. I have been involved with what one might term an edit war with an admin over his dereliction of duties. I was trying to make a point (which so happened to be the same point another user was making at the same time) but he kept deleting it, whilst maintaining the other user's less-well-put point on his talk page. You questioned my motives; again this is natural. But what would I gain from having roll-back against an admin in an edit war? I have alreay stopped any edit warring and have decided that if he wants to abuse his position of power, and if his Wikipedia friends want to support him, then that's their choice. Once again, I respect your decision, and I thank you for taking the time to consider my request. ~~ Dr Dec (Talk) ~~ 00:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was certainly an edit war by anyone's standards, and this shows that perhaps you might abuse rollback. You should wait a month at least before re-requesting; if you can demonstrate that you can be trusted with the tool, I'll be happy to reconsider my decision. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please help

Some editors (involved in this edit war) keep editing my own user talk page. They protested because I re-instanted my own comments on another user's talk page; which was wrong I know. But now they are editing my own talk page. I try to undo what they've done and they do something else. They're deleteing and moving content at will. PLEASE HELP! Can we decide upon a version of the page and then lock it for a period of some hours? I'm becoming dizzy trying to find old versions, cutting them, pasting them, and saving them. ~~ Dr Dec (Talk) ~~ 02:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
