As im planning only to use this account I really cant see whay the problem is, I put a speedy deletion notice on the Novacool account, not sure what to do next, Any help would be greatly received.

Larry Carberry
Hello.
I'm afraid I am a bit of a novice when it comes to wikipedia contributions. I tried to add my sources for my additional info on the career of Larry Carberry. I don't know why they don't show up on the page. Any helpful suggestions?
In any case, my sources are "The PFA Premier & Football League Players' Records 1946 - 1998" (ed.: Barry J. Hugman; publ.: Queen Anne Press) "News of the World and Empire News Football Annual 1962-63" (ed.: Frank Butler & Malcolm Gunn) and "http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/

Reverting changes on SEIU Local 1 Canada's wiki article
Hello Jeff G. Thank you for your emails explaining why you reverted my changes to the SEIU Local 1 Canada wiki article. I work for SEIU in their communications department and a great deal of information that is being posted is inaccurate.
ANI notice
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Basket of Puppies 19:43, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you both for your notifications. Is there any penalty for not following "You must notify any user that you discuss. You may use
{{subst:ANI-notice}}
to do so." in the header of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (as transcluded from Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentsHeader)? — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:45, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you both for your notifications. Is there any penalty for not following "You must notify any user that you discuss. You may use
- If there is, I'm not aware of it. By the time things get to ANI, tempers are raw already. Personally, I would such a lapse pass in favor of addressing whatever the underlying issue is (or is perceived to be). Dismissing a complaint (or turning around and penalizing someone) for not following that protocol would not serve the project well, in my opinion; it doesn't address the issue. Plus there are plenty of folks who patrol it and clean up by notifying in these cases. Frank | talk 03:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Wikis Take Manhattan
|
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, October 10th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.
WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!
REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown and SoHo. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

- If you have any verifiable information to add from reliable sources about LBJ's alleged involvement in JFK's assassination, please add it to article section Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories#Lyndon_Johnson_conspiracy, not to article Lyndon B. Johnson. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 14:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
If you're wondering what happened, I temporarily deleted the article to remove the edit that you noticed. That particular editor overwrote an existing article, so it wasn't deleted as an attack page. Just reverted and the revisions deleted while I get it oversighted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, sorry I didn't have time to look into salvagability. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 07:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- No worries. =) It's all taken care of. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:34, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you! Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 08:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- We've tried, he doesn't listen. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 09:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Still isn't really vandalism, is it? The place to go is →that a way. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 09:03, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- IMHO, it's spam, which is vandalism. Hence AIV. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 09:05, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's a conflict of interest, which is not vandalism, and does not belong at AIV. It either belongs at COIN or ANI. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 09:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Please contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Devesh_Dabas. Thanks. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 09:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

AIV
Hi, Jeff. I left a message regarding non-admin declining of an AIV report at Steven's talk page. I'm letting you know since you expressed a concern about it at AIV. Thanks. :) kmccoy (talk) 09:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've been following that discussion and per Crafty's request there I've left a note on your user talk page. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 10:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Jeff,
I want to apologise if my comments have come across as somewhat abrasive (now I sound like an oven cleaner :) but I am just concerned that a modus operandi is developing among RC patrollers, where new editors who make poor edits, but in good faith, are reverted repeatedly and labelled vandals. It's nothing personal. Just remember that we were all new once, and more often than not are simply unaware of our policies, rather than deliberately breaking them. The cluebat is a tool used to educate, not to beat users into submission. Editor retention is hard, and problematic editors can always be blocked later. We aim to teach first, remind second, and if needed, teach lessons. I hope you understand. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 10:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Jeff
The significant other of Robert Peters has created a shrine to Peters on the Peters wikipage. I have known Billy Collins for several years and he doesn't name and hasn't named Peters as an influence. Peters's SO, Paul Trachtenberg, differs, because he thinks Peters was spun of solid gold. Trachtenberg has come up with ONE article about Peters. Although I think it sad that Peters and his boy Trachenterberg feel their only hope is to hitch their wagon on the Collins star, I will work to refute them in the coming days, coming up with numerous citations on who Collins's influence was. (Had it been Peters, why did it take Collins more than twenty years to find his voice and write poetry that was finally publishable?) In the end, Peters is going to look like a benign presence, a failure. But if only Trachtenberg had let it go. I predict that Peters's wikipage will go the way of the spotted horny toad.

Your message
Could you please check your warning? I've properly cited the addition in a previous edit. The edit you're referring to is merely a correction of the header. Thank you. 99.152.115.143 (talk) 04:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- The cited addition to Hinsdale Central High School is from a primary source, Hinsdale Central ListServ. Please only use verifiable references from reliable secondary sources. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- But since it is published by an official organization, one would assume that it could be used as a verifiable source? Also, if I find secondary sources, would it be ok to add that content again? 99.152.115.143 (talk) 04:37, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- It could be used to verify quotes, but analysis of the changes in strictness between last year and this year should be left to secondary sources, otherwise they are original research. I have withdrawn my warning. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'll remove the stricter reference. 99.152.115.143 (talk) 04:41, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:45, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Conflict of interest? What article would that be referring to? 99.152.115.143 (talk) 04:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Possibly the one referenced above - it appears you may oppose the stricter policies, as I would if I were a student there. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Removal of PROD from Christ School (North Carolina)
Hello Jeff G., this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Christ School (North Carolina) has been removed. It was removed by TerriersFan with the following edit summary '(rm Prod - by long standing convention high schools are notable. I understand the nominator's concerns but the way forward is for him to clean it up and source it and not for deletiom)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with TerriersFan before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages) 20:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Edit war message
About the message you left on my talk page, it is not an edit war, I was attempting to revert the vandalism in the "High Five" section. I am new to wikipedia so I apologize if I did something wrong. Just FYI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.59.117.98 (talk) 12:56, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Notable?
Hi Jeff, Not sure if it was intentional or not hence I didn't re-revert, but is this really notable for the article? Cheers Khukri 13:00, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'm off to watch the video. I didn't intend to revert you, I thought I was just deleting the CNN ref. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:04, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- not a problem at all ;) though someone else has come in and reverted it now. Enjoy is funny. Khukri 13:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Manchurian Edits
One almost has to admire this individual's tenacity. Ginsengbomb (talk) 06:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps the orange bar is malfunctioning? — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 06:06, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- It’s not malfuntioning. He’s just ignoring it. Also, if both of you had been adding warnings to his page, instead of just Jeff, he would have been at {{Uw-vandalism4im}} much earlier, and then he could have been reported to WP:AIV and been blocked. As it is, I see that Huggle (HG) filed a report on your behalf, Jeff, at WP:AIV, so he will soon be blocked. But, you can go to there and add some text showing how egregious his behavior has been and perhaps the blocking admin will hit him with a heavy block. Anyway, I added {{3RR}} to his talk page because he is clearly edit warring. But, he’s doing even worse. He’s reverting your reverts elsewhere too Jeff. Also, since he keeps having the template changed on him, he’s gone and created a new one, {{Manchu History}}, which he is now applying to pages where the other Manchurian templates had been. Take a look at his contribs and you’ll see what I mean. Wow! I have never seen anyone behave like this. You had it right Ginsengbomb: tenacious! — SpikeToronto 06:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- You're right, Ginsengbomb should have been warning him too. OTOH, he hasn't edited in ten whole minutes! :) — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 06:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- His edits have created such a mess on so many articles, that when HG puts them on my screen I don’t know what to do. If I revert, what reason do I choose from the pulldown menus? Sheesh! We may have to rely on the regular editors of these wikiarticles to see the changes in their watchlists and then go and revert themselves. I am at a bit of a loss. However, I had a guy blocked the other day, where the admin then went through the fellow’s contribs and reverted each of his edits, if they had not already been reverted. But, he was an admin and doesn’t have to give a reason that could get him reviewed if it’s not correct, and that chap hadn’t made nearly as many destructive edits as this fellow. <sigh> — SpikeToronto 06:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
I cannot believe the backlog at WP:AIV! You reported that Altaicmania fellow two hours ago … That’s very unusual. — SpikeToronto 07:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry
...used to eliminated csd tagged pages. Been a while since I did the tagging, so I guess I'm relearning the ropes :) 71.153.241.132 (talk) 07:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Apology accepted, warning removed. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the Welcome to Wikipedia!
That was real nice of you. It's been at least two years since someone welcomed me to Wikipedia. I was actually restoring something that had been deleted, not deleting anything. I put it back into the section where it had been previously, then decided i liked it better in another section. You caught me in the 15 seconds while i was moving the text. So, thanks for the warning, and thanks for being such a diligent preservationist. No offense taken. Cordially, cat 64.142.90.33 (talk) 08:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome. And thanks for luckymojo. :) — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 15:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Help needed
Hi jeff, today all day along there has been vandalising attempts on the following 3 wiki pages,
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naxalite
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_India_(Maoist)
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salwa_Judum
The users "Barakabless", "Agarbatti", "Vinter-light" have following the same pattern of deleting large chunks of text and references. This leads me to suspect that they are the same person.
I need help to stop these vandalising attempt. Please tell me how can to stop these users from such attempts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehrrunissa (talk • contribs) 13:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Theoretical physics and 3RR
The reversions I've made on this page are intended to remove blatant vandalism. The IP 74.225.200.250 is repeatedly adding the name of a fictional character to the list of theoretical physicsists--right above the comment that says "Please don't add fictional characters to this list". I believe the 3RR is not intended to apply to blatant vandalism. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 00:22, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I feel I have to warn both sides in what appears to be an edit war. I would have reverted my warning of you, but you did so already. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:26, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
