As of mid-December 2005, I should be more available to Wikipedia for a while: December 15 is my last day on the contract job I've been doing, and I simply don't devote as many hours to a job search as I do to a job. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:24, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stray barnstars

"Dixie", "Dixie's Land", "I Wish I Was in Dixie"

Jmabel is awarded this Working Man's Barnstar for his dedicated efforts in disambiguation and redirection.

Hey, Joe. In doing my research on "Dixie", I came to realize that locating the article at "Dixie's Land" — one title for the song, but not by far the most common or popular title — was a mistake. I requested a move to Dixie (song), which was just granted. In going through and changing all "Dixie's Land" links to point to "Dixie (song)", I noticed that you were the one that had changed them all in the first place. So I apologize for having put you to all that trouble for my one bone-headed page move. Also, please accept:

Infobox President

Hi. There has been a mess on that template. As a hot fix I've created template:Infobox President old. Please use that on all articles that you see broken. Many articles have already been converted to a new parameter set, so they now need the new version of Netoholic in order not to break. Adrian Buehlmann 02:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please address further concerns regarding template:Infobox President to User:Netoholic. template:Infobox President old is now orphaned (not used) and I put it up for a speedy delete. Adrian Buehlmann 10:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:SaddamBaghdadwalkabout.jpg

Image:SaddamBaghdadwalkabout.jpg: the justifications given there look pretty solid to me; I'm not sure exactly what your bot is looking for, so I'm not sure what additional it might want. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's looking for the tags {{nosource}}, {{unknown}}, or equivalent. It doesn't care about any of the other tags, or any other text on the page. --Carnildo 04:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So, do you think that particular image has problems? And if so, precisely what? -- Jmabel | Talk 04:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The only problem I see is that it's tagged with the {{no license}} and {{tv-screenshot}} templates. It could use a bit more detail on the source (what the broadcast was, when it was made, and so forth), but mostly it's fine. --Carnildo 04:43, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Wedgwood, but I range widely. My orbit includes pretty much anything in city limits. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in Roosevelt. Somewhere in 98115 or 98105 would make most sense, I guess...got any fave coffee spots? --Lukobe 21:44, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

update

Good to see you Joe in 2006! You should make an update on your user page ;) Bogdan is back again by long time now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmabel#Trust  :) Bonaparte talk 15:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia R/E

Please remember that there is an ongoing conversation at User talk:JCarriker/Wikipedia: Race and Ethnicity. Please add it to your watchlist and/or check for new posts regularly. PS Can you believe we have been editing wikipedia over a period that spans four seperate years? Thanks. -JCarriker 19:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I realize that the page is inactive, which is why I reminded everyone who was invited that it is meant to be an ongoing dialog. Also off topic, I tried making contact with Wiley before their Christmas break and literally got no response, no person or machine responded to the phone call. I did talk with a local historian who collaborates often with Wiley and she gave me a contact name. I'll try to get a yea or nay response before the Seattle meetup, I can be just as persistent/annoying in real life as I am online. ;) -JCarriker 18:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Noticeboard

Hi Joe! Thanks for your comments! Hopefully the current state of crisis that the Romanian Wikipedia community finds itself in can be overcome. Maybe something like a group mediation session would be good. Ronline ✉ 07:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EffK

Since you are obviously coming from a very different place than either Cberlet or myself, can you make any sense of EffK's comments at Talk:Nazism in relation to other concepts? He and I are both bewildered. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote me an email about this once, which I answered. I never heard back, have you read it? Sam Spade 23:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal about categories and subcategories

I've posted a proposal about categories and subcategories here. Please take a look. I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks. -- Samuel Wantman 09:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The links I found them independently searching in google for "victory avenue" http://www.google.ro/search?hl=de&q=victory+avenue&meta= and the second link was those above. I have to admit that you were "schneller" then me. Bonaparte talk 20:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

blanking my talk page

I blanked my talk page because the only two things on there were the "Welcome to Wikipedia" drivel, plus one comment from one user about an add I did that was later taken away. I fully intend to let subsequent additions to my user talk page stand without blanking them. Come to think of it, why am I even bothering to defend myself to you? I think I'll stop now, 'cuz it's pointless. So was your message, even though I'm not exactly PO'ed about it or anything. Kiko 01:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your work on el Teatro Campesino!

and for the images. Thanks! Joaquin Murietta 05:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

László Tőkés

I see that you tagged László Tőkés, primarily my work, as a copyvio. You did not give any indication of what you claim to be the issue, and appear not to have followed through with posting to WP:CP; I have now done the latter, at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2006_January_4. I have also remarked there on why I do not believe there is a copyvio problem in the article. You may want to comment on what you believe to be a problem. -- Jmabel | Talk 12:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I didn't know how to state it and where to comment about it, but it seems for me for a first impression that is copyvio. I will look one more time. Yes, it is for all paragraphs something like this [Deletant, online, p. 51,...etc]. Isn't it this word by word? Bonaparte talk 12:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for removing the {{copyvio}} notice. I've made a note on the relevant subpage of WP:CP indicating that the matter is resolved. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Next time I will be more careful. Please Joe, look at Transnistria as well. There were allegations of copyvio from node, since is not the matter can you explain him? Theresa did and still not get it. That would be very nice. Bonaparte talk 06:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Single-handed sailors

I hope my new category is self-explanatory enough: Category:Pole vaulters with seven or fewer toes.  ;-) Seriously, thanks, I've obviously been living with the subject more than most people. — Johantheghost 01:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers used instead of blogs

I would like your feedback on the use of newspapers as a source instead of blogs. In the case of the Robert Clark Young article, I have found newspaper sources that cover much of the same material as the blogs that have been used in the article. When I replaced the blog sources with the newspaper sources, Alabamaboy reverted every single one of my edits. Also, very strangely, he accused me on the discussion page of being Mr. Young himself!

This is the Wikipedia Guideline I am trying to follow with my edits:

"Publications with teams of fact-checkers, reporters, editors, lawyers, and managers — like the New York Times or The Times of London — are likely to be reliable, and are regarded as reputable sources for the purposes of Wikipedia. At the other end of the reliability scale lie personal websites, weblogs (blogs), bulletin boards, and Usenet posts, which are not acceptable as sources."

Thus, I have replaced the blog sources with newspaper sources. Again, let me stress that this has not led to much change in the text of the article itself--what I'm trying to do here is change the nature of the sources so that they themselves comply with Wikipedia Guidelines.

Could Alabamaboy and I get some feedback on this? I wonder if you could go over to the Robert Clark Young history and compare both versions of the sourcing--the one using newspapers, and the one using blogs. Thank you. Berenise 01:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should be aware that there are three reasons the article was reverted: 1) Berenise made the changes despite a lack of consensus and my objections on the Talk:Robert Clark Young. In short, the online references are refered to in the newspaper and print articles, making the online sources primary sources. The article also has many print sources which complement and add to the online sources. 2) The edits made the article less NPOV b/c they removed opposing viewpoints. While these references may be online, they are from credible named sources who are considered experts in their respected areas. 3) There is a strong possibility that Berenise is Robert Clark Young. Young previously edited the article about himself and most of Berenise's edits since coming to Wikipedia have been to the Young article. I'm trying to clear this up with Berenise; once she proves she is not Young I'd love to get opinions from other editors about this situation. For full details, see Talk:Robert Clark Young. --Alabamaboy 01:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Level

Hello Joe, I wanted to change your user page to change the level of romanian to 3. After your so good translation I can bet that your level is even better. Trust me, you may change there, in fact you can give this edit as reference to this. You did a great job helping me these days with those articles. Have I forget to thank you, I have to say right now: thank you. Bonaparte talk 19:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

believers?

"1046 believers of Polish ethnicity": what does this mean? How is one a "believer" of an ethnicity? -- Jmabel | Talk 10:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original text in romanian is: "Comunitatea din Soloneţu Nou (cu filialele Solca, Plesa, Racova, Arbore) numără 365 de familii cu 1046 de credincioşi de etnie poloneză. " (http://www.ercis.ro/actualitate/viata.asp?id=20040326)
