Rule 34

I would strongly suggest protecting this redirect, lest anyone overwrite it as an article on the meme. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cfcuk

Hi

Refering to the decision to endorse the deletion of the cfcuk Cheslea fanzine page, I feel that a merge with the Chelsea FC page would fly in the face of what the cfcuk fanzine is all about. Each edition of the fanzine has the legend "Carefree, Blue tinted and 100% independent" printed on every front cover so, for the Chelsea FC page to have a section featuring the cfcuk fanzine would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Unfortunately for me, noone at Wikipedia who have endorsed the deletion of the cfcuk page seems to have any knowledge whatsoever about the matchday experience of watching a Cheslea match as the cfcuk fanzine and its sellers are well known amongst both the home and away Cheslea supporters and are considered by many as an essential part of the day. Again, I have to question why several other club's fanzines have been allowed to remain within the Wikipedia pages while the cfcuk Cheslea one hasn't. Hopefully, for a factual tool such as Wikipedia, I sincerely hope it is not a simple case of tribalism...

WP:WAX or WP:OTHERSTUFF aren't really reasons why cfcuk should have its own page, but if you fell that some of the other similar page aren't meeting inclusion criterias you can nominate it for deletion if you want. Still you can still try on a much improved version of cfcuk if it is possible--JForget 23:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

You just warned me that if I continue to vandalize, I would be blocked from editing. For How long? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.16.193 (talk) 22:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would be up to the admin's decision if you do it again. Generally, the first block will be under 1 week, but may increase in subsequent blocks and depends also on the seriousness of the actions as well. --JForget 22:52, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whose Line Is It Anyway? (U.S. TV series)

Hello, you recently initiated an AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whose Line Is It Anyway? (U.S. TV series) after some unusual procedural steps by folks who tried to force a consensus on splitting the topic away from an existing article. Please consider returning to that AfD and closing it as "snow keep" due to the progression of the AfD discussion and subsequent events at the associated articles. See also the recent developments at Whose Line Is It Anyway? (U.S. TV series) and the related discussion at Talk:Whose Line Is It Anyway? (sections 25-26). Thanks. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:26, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, someone else who was heavily involved in the debate did a bold snowball closure. You might want to review the whole debate as a good example of how a bizarre procedure somehow resulted in improved WP articles. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and great job on the improvement of the article - it was quite unacceptable that a show that notable had such little content. Also I was quite surprised that it didn't had it's own article for that long too. It didn't took that long for many other major games shows to have their own article. The AFD was just procedural by myself. --JForget 23:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Larry O'Brien 2010 election

Hey JForget, I noticed that in April 2009 you added to Larry O'Brien's page that he would run in the Ottawa municipal election, 2010. Thinking it was vandalism, I replaced it with more recent info stating that he hasn't made a decision. Even though it wasn't vandalism, I still think that newer refs (a March 2010 CBC article for instance) are more reliable than a mysterious 2009 Kourier article. Please take a look at my recent edits to those two pages and see if everything lines up alright. Cheers, -M.Nelson (talk) 16:43, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update - it definitely needed probably with his trial (and probably a rising frustration among the constituents as well) it had changed a little bit his plans. Not sure if I had seen other papers before his trial saying he would run again. I haven't being paying much attention on improving articles lately so it might have some major updates to do. --JForget 23:12, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

Hi, I notice that you've deleted The Heroes of Olympus. I was wondering if you, as some editors do, keep a copy of articles they have deleted and, if so, if I could have a copy of it. Thanks, Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 06:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JForget. You have new messages at Rock drum's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

your assistance please...

I'd like to request the userification of the full revision history and associated talk page of Abdul Haq (Uighur camp leader) to User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/review/Abdul Haq (Uighur camp leader). I will, of course, add the appropriate {{noindex}} directives, and comment out the categories.

Deletion review for Jessica Jarrell

Hi JForget

An editor nominated the above-captioned article's recent deletion (which you closed) for deletion review. FYI.

Because ridiculous edits like this need not 3 warnings. Hope you see what I mean. --Tommy2010 01:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds more like just testing, so a uw-test1 would be good for now rather then an immediate block. JForget 01:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)--JForget 01:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Quassel IRC

Hi,

you deleted "Quassel IRC" because of a lack of coverage. Meanwhile it was chosen the default client for Kubuntu's recent LTS release, which highly increased coverage to an in my opinion sufficient level. Therefore, can you please check if you agree that requirements for Wikipedia are now met? Thanks in advance 87.234.110.87 (talk) 21:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The lone keep argument was in regards with that, although no one else seem to have stated that which led to the demise of this article - so unfortunately it doesn't seem sufficient for an article unless you want to send it to WP:DRV or make a significantly improved article. In addition, the user who said keep also added "we might have to wait until the next batch of Ubuntu books hits the shelves for print coverage". JForget 21:21, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The keep argument was in regards with the at that time current Kubuntu release "Karmic". Quassel wasn't sure to be included in the next - now current - release Lucid, since it is a Long Term Support release. Kubuntu LTS releases are released on bi-yearly basis, books and paper press mostly cover these releases. Now that Quassel IRC is part of an LTS release, its coverage has increased already and probably will do so further. 85.114.132.70 (talk) 08:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protect Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 ?

Hi, you reverted vandalism edits to the above article, I've also reverted there recently. In the last 14 days (30 April to 13 May), almost half of the edits of edits (11/26) to the article have been vandalism from anon IPs and there seems to be very little anon IP editing which is useful (I'm not counting the reverts as part of the 26 edit total). I noticed you are an admin, and given the criteria outlined in WP:ROUGH, it might be worth considering a one month semi-protect (WP:SILVERLOCK) to the page. Regards --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:31, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops forgot to reply but it was semi-protected for about a week. JForget 01:59, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your AFD closes

This is for forgetting to subst the afdbottom template on ~~all~~ some of your closes on the log for the 8th. :)

I fixed a few of them.

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.

--Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:15, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks I was wondering, because I was using the subst, but I guess I forgot a couple at the start. Hopefully the script which avoided the manuel typing will be back after all the site layout changes.JForget 01:21, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or you can switch back to monobook when you close. Have you tried copying your monobook.js to vector.js to see if the closing script still works? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:39, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep it worked, thanks! JForget 01:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UEA Pirates

Hi,

I'm head coach of the UEA Pirates, Rob Kerr. I noticed that you've deleted our Wiki page: can we have it back please, I'd like very much to edit in time for our new season.

Thanks,

Rob Kerr (rob dot kerr01 at g mail dot com) 94.2.5.215 (talk) 12:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article was deleted based on a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UEA Pirates due to lack of notability I guess, so it would have to go on a deletion review or have an article that clearly demonstrates notability although looking at the discussion on the deletion debate, it seems to be a long shot before getting an article - actually more and more similar articles are getting canned as well. So basically the only place that could be warrented an entry is at a userspace page. JForget 13:45, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June Outbreak

Good article, this page has some pictures but im not sure about their copyright status. Link to page -Marcusmax(speak) 14:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't look to be taken from NWS staff and I don't see any indications that use is permitted , so I will omit using them for now. Though there will likely be tornado damage pictures eventually with the storm surveys. Damage on those pictures look indicative of EF2 at least.JForget 14:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I was thinking as well, it seems there will probably be more coming out by this afternoon. Do you know if Environment Canada is going to give an update on the Canadian tornado damage? --Marcusmax(speak) 14:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You would probably have to check on CTV or CBC the major TV network or the The Windsor Star. They will have a lot more information on the damage then Environment Canada. Environment Canada does issue bulletins in the Special Weather Statement section (just click the Warnings section on their home page ) but only stays for 24 hours at the most even when there is a tornado survey bulletin. However, looking at the Windsor Star, it seems there is a lot of criticism about the warning system and many had to rely on the Detroit television networks or US websites. To show how lackluster our weather warning system is compared in the US. Me too have to rely on US sites to track storms. JForget 14:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thats no good, I hope they at least conduct a damage survey. -Marcusmax(speak) 14:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Helping a new user

Hello! I created my first wiki article a while back that we eventually decided to delete.

Hello JForget
FYI this article in whose deletion discussion you were involved has been re-created. I have put a speedy deletion template on it as wp:CSD#G4.

Bentley Jones

Hi! You recently deleted this article following discussion on the 2nd nomination for deletion. However, the points made in this discussion were covered in the article's 1st deletion discussion, of which the result was to keep the article by admin Shimeru, found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bentley_Jones

I feel the article should be kept with an intent to improve its format and sources. DolphinBlueUK (talk) 10:56, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well contrary to the first discussion (which ended with a no censensus) there was a clear consensus to delete the article this time so I guess the community concluded that there were no improvements made since the 1st discussion. You can request a copy of the article if you want if you really want to improve it and if you are convinced the subject is article worthy. JForget 21:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1984 ghallooghaaraa

Respected administrator,

Please help respected editor SpacemanSpiff to understand that he/she can not vote twice in an Afd, once as 'Delete' and secondally as 'Comment about Move'. He can rather put his comments below someone's vote but he/she can not add it as a new entity which might appear as a brand new vote to the administrators. I have tried fixing it, but this respected editor refuses to understand. Kindly help.--DawnOfTheBlood (talk) 06:17, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
