Proposed deletion
From what is written at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Supermegalith, it appears that Juan L. Bacigalupo (talk · contribs) doesn't quite understand Wikipedia's purpose. However, there is a genuine discipline of palaeoarchaeology, and if you take a look with Google Scholar and Google Books you will find several people writing about the history and problems of the field. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 01:49, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for that info. I'll try to look into those. — Jeff G. ツ 01:53, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- ISBN 9780809315239 p 156–157 and the chapter by Clark in ISBN 9780387764788 are worth looking at. Uncle G (talk) 04:00, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Not recused
I note your edit summary here. There's no reason for me to recuse from this particular case; however, I was inactive on this and several other cases, and I generally prefer to remain that way unless the request for amendment is very straightforward. In this case, I felt I didn't understand the nuances well enough without reviewing the entire case to be comfortable in participating in this decision. Risker (talk) 05:17, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for that explanation. — Jeff G. ツ 06:15, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Calculating majorities and implementation notes
Dear Jeff,
Whilst I appreciate your good intentions, any formal procedural work on cases, amendments, clarifications etc. should be performed only by Arbitration Clerks or Arbitrators themselves (and they prefer us to do so). If you see that a clerk has missed posted the majorities, as was the case in the Tothwolf case, please feel free to ping us on the Clerks' noticeboard. Regards Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 15:32, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry for being so WP:BOLD, and thanks for the info. — Jeff G. ツ 17:05, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Service award
I've been editing with an account for a month and I have over 1,000 edits and I didn't earn an award. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 20:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- You have 1,036 edits. Your first edit was 01:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC). At 01:32, 29 June 2010 (UTC) (in about two days five hours), you will be officially eligible for the Novice Editor (or Burba) Service award. You are responsible for advertising that fact once you have earned it. Thank you for your service, and congradulations! — Jeff G. ツ 20:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

page was edited as the information was untrue and abusive. I was at the Draft and am a family member —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruckdashel (talk • contribs) 04:50, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- In this edit, not only did you remove information without explanation (thank you for explaining above), but you also signed the article. We don't sign articles. That information remains removed from the article as it was unsourced. — Jeff G. ツ 15:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Palaeoarchaeology
Unsurprisingly, your prod was removed from palaeoarchaeology. I have now sent it to AfD. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 04:38, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

AfD Palaeoarchaeology
Hi
I have cocked up
I checked the votes page as we have had problems with it counting stuck out deletes that were changed to keep and it showed you as a delete vote and a keep vote lol.
I tried to correct it but before mr Haworth clobbers me with his wizened stump can you help me get the count right ? I think you may have to remove the whole word "Delete" or it may be in a cache :¬)
thanks Chaosdruid (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- What votes page? — Jeff G. ツ 20:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry was afk for a bit after my marathon GOCE edits - the link is [1]
- It is on the second line of the AfD page you click on AfD statistics :-
- Palaeoarchaeology ( edit talk history links watch logs) – (View log • AfD statistics)
- User:Chaosdruid (a bit later than 21:00 and earlier than 22:35) 01 July 2010 (sorry batteries went on my keyboard)
- Thanks, I tried to replace it with REDACTED REMOVAL. Does that tool not allow for changing one's mind? — Jeff G. ツ 22:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- I did post on someone elses page and call it the dumbcountingbot (if you say it quickly...lol)
- I'm starting to think it may be something else thats not working - maybe the support at the bottom half... Chaosdruid (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Yup - i did a test [2] and added support and I am on both now lol - it must be counting the bottom half and the word support as well Chaosdruid (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
House, MD
Hi Jeff,
I am a wiki-novice (as far as editing), but noticed inaccurate information in the House, MD [page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House,_md].
I was not trying to get into an edit war, but rather was simply trying to correct the info. The problem stems with the attribution of the creator credit. David Shore created House. He is the sole creator. While it may be based upon, or inspired by an idea of Paul Attanasio, that is not the same as "created by," as defined in the entertainment industry. This is indicated by the credits on the show, where Shore is afforded "Created By" credit (i.e. NOT co-created by). Furthermore, information in the bar to the right of the House page supports this information, as only DAvid Shore is listed as the creator.
In the entertainment industry, often producers do generate ideas. For their efforts, they are afforded some sort of "producer" credit. However, the creation of the characters, scenes, story, and the writer of the script is what determines the actual "created by" credit. That is what David Shore did.
I believe because of this interview with David Shore (http://www.macleans.ca/culture/entertainment/article.jsp?content=20060320_123370_123370), people interpret that to mean that Paul Attanasio co-created the show. That is not the case. Just because he came up with the general idea, does not give you "created by" credit. Further in that interview, Shore says that all he did was come up with the general idea, but that Shore developed the characters and wrote the script.
So it is factually incorrect to say Attanasio co-created the show, which is why I tried to tweak the language to reflect that he had the general idea, which was inspired by the NY Times column. The created by credit is a matter of public record, and even the unrevised entry says that Fox accords David Shore "created by" credit. So, to me, what is actually unsubstantiated is that Paul Attanasio co-created the show. There is no attribution for that anywhere. And just because something has been long-accepted on this page, doesn't make it so.
If you can help me, by letting me know what I can do to make this entry factually correct and have people accept that, please let me know. I'm not too familiar with wikipedia's functions and had initially tried to contact DCGeist via email to explain. I definitely didn't intend to get into an editing war, but i still can't even find that "talk" page that DCGeist refers to (I'm sure it's just my ignorance, but I can't find it).
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soundart99 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Lotta IP-shifting vandalism on this article, and it seems ongoing. Have you or anyone else gone to a checkuser to bust the source? Thanks, Jusdafax 04:58, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- I haven't had time, it's probably 4chan or another coordinated group - massive vandalism on videogame-related articles since midnight EST. — Jeff G. ツ 05:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'll ask on the IRC until-it-sleeps channel. Thanks again. Jusdafax 05:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Arbitration motion regarding Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tothwolf
Per a motion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment:
Remedy 2 of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tothwolf ("re JBsupreme (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) ) is changed to read "JBsupreme (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is subject to an editing restriction for six months. Should JBsupreme make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, JBsupreme may be blocked for the duration specified in the enforcement ruling below." The six months starts from the day this motion passes.

That was bizarre. What caused the sudden breakout in vandalism by dozens of IP's, I wonder? And how did you revert all of them? 2D ℳaestro Nag/Brag 21:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jeff, my editing of the battle of Haifa 1948 was done to correct a few things that I had inserted before and was unaware that I could fix them by clicking edit.
All the materials that I have submitted are sitting at the USHMM in Washington D.C. which I donated copies of Mr. Jaques Bar's materials back on Nov 2000 along with the copies of the original plans that I still retain.
I was surprised that the material that was there is incomplete and misses the person who planned that action mainly due to the Labour Party in Israel that made up their own history which I thought would have been corrected long ago.
I do retain all copyrights for this material and put it in on May 31, 2010 after my first reading of your site which missed the whole situation and errs in too many ways to be allowed to remain as the factual history as well omits my father's work which from a military point of view needed a correction so that future generations understand the reality of what and why the action took place without which Israel would have never been created since the British Plans would have removed all to Cyprus.
Respectfully.
