Hi there. I wonder if you'd mind reviewing the above at PR if you get time? Could really do with a hand. Thanks, Tom Tomlock01 (talk) 11:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedily deletion of Administrator abuse on Wikipedia

The article does not duplicate any of the material on the other article. Please reconsider. GregJackP Boomer! 03:47, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Opinion

What is your opinion on the article Buffalo burger now? I'm surprised that this article didn't exist. Joe Chill (talk)

I think its looking pretty good! Its short, but it is a great start to an article. I'm not sure it needs to be that long, and it covers all the bases. Well referenced, well put together. Good stuff! --Jayron32 05:19, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I think that I'll leave it that way for now. I think that I'll have trouble expanding it without introducing irrelevant stuff. At least I managed to get it to DYK length and C class though. Creating an article on a popular food is a plus also. Thanks for your comments. Joe Chill (talk) 05:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Israel's a secular state

...but not with the separation of Church and State familiar in, for example, the U.S.A.. I tried to sketch in a few lines about why it's not a theocracy, which may yet get corrected by those better in the know. However, there are Israeli political parties that are overtly religious... and only since leaving the States have I learned how that's been true in Europe for quite some time.

Talk: Plymouth Colony

Dear Jayron 32: Please forgive any Wiki-style-guide infelicities as this is my first Wikipedia email. Sending thanks for your Plymouth Colony article. I recently met one of your Plymouth Colony editors at a Museums on the Web conference in Denver, and wanted to offer my regards on your research and writing. I oversee programs and research at America's largest living history museum on Plymouth and the Wampanoag, and wanted to offer our services to you and any Wiki writers working in our area -- geographic proximity or historical subject proximity! Thank you for your ongoing interest in this important subject.Ridgebrakeheart (talk) 18:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

User:Jakezing requesting unblock

• Jakezing (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

See User talk:Jakezing#July 2010. You have blocked this editor in the past. He's been blocked for about a year, and opened an unblock request on 17 July. I have declined the unblock request, and have also discussed the matter at User talk:Ironholds. You are welcome to join the discussion if you think the block should be reconsidered. It's a consensus block from ANI from June 2009, so it would need a discussion thread to undo it. At present I see no reason, but others might think differently.

US 15-501

Before this turns into an unintentional 3RR, I'll let you know what I'm doing. {{Jct}} has built-in error tracking and it's flagging every instance of {{Jct|state=NC|US|15-501}}. The problem is that there is not really a good way to link to the US 15-501 article and create the correct US 15 and 501 route markers. I don't disagree that the link should go to the US 15-501 article, I'm just simply trying to clear the error category. –Fredddie™ 04:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

On second thought, I decided to remove that instance of {{Jct}}. Square peg, round hole. –Fredddie™ 04:39, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is a reason why Las Vegas is a dab page and there is a reason why editing Las Vegas, Nevada starts with a large warning notice. The edit notice clearly states the material will be removed. You can consider Las Vegas metropolitan area or The Las Vegas Strip. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:02, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Eh. It wasn't that big of a deal. I was only making a good-faith referencing; where the reference said "Las Vegas", and trying to help out. I understand how important it must be to make sure that the invisible lines on the ground be defended from reality. Keep up the good fight! --Jayron32 03:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Notification

Please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Proposed_amendment, and the subthreads above it. You are being notified as you were one of the users who proposed or discussed the original sanction. Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:21, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Admendment

Per this, I agree with it but am technically under something similar (see here) which essentially states I am "To leave User:Delicious carbuncle "alone" unless "engage[d]" and do not archive threads started by User:Delicious carbuncle. The last part, my mistake, I forgot, hence the creation of this page. If anything does change in the restrictions, pleasse let me know, so I can update my page so I can remember the darn things. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Leave him alone. That is your only restriction. If he showed up at my talk page asking for clarification, I would tell him the same thing. --Jayron32 02:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Just a clarification, is that even when "engaged"? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

If you don't respond to comments he makes, they go away. Think about this: If he goes to ANI to complain about you, he violates his own sanctions and technically could be blocked for that. If you don't respond, even to defend yourself, then nothing negative happens to you. At all. (for the record, I would give the exact same advice to him on this). The one that comes out the winner in this is the one that refuses to acknowledge the existance of the other, even in the face of antagonism or comments from the other one. --Jayron32 03:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Never thought of it that way. I will update the page with a link to this section (via diff) and update the restrictions to just "leave DC alone, even when engaged" for shorter language. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

This discussion does not entail enacting restrictions or sanctions on you by me or anyone else. This is me, as just a dude, talking to you, as a dude, giving you advice on how to get along in this environment. These comments I have made bear no weight due to my standing as an admin, or anything else for that matter. This is advice, not coersion. Still, I think you should voluntarily wish to avoid conflict, and shouldn't need to maintain a list of "restrictions" to require you to do it. Thousands of Wikipedia editors, myself included, have managed to do that. --Jayron32 03:21, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I was just doing that to bypass the ANI, sorry, didn't mean to upset you. Never thought of it as coersion, just thought of it as admin giving advice to an editor. The list is purely voluntary and for my own benefit. I have Aspergers and take a medication called Haldol for it. One of the side effects is memory loss. It is kind of annoying. So, to help me, the list was made and for full disclosure, I made it public. If I wasn't on the med, I probably wouldn't need it, but I am cause it helps, so I have the list. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:26, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Carolina Brewing Company

The article Carolina Brewing Company has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article is promotional. This local brewery is not notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Orangeroof (talk) 18:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

A bit of help please

[Cross-posting to admins with prior involvement.] Regarding User:YouAndMeBabyAintNothingButCamels. I have to strenuously protest the block with the rationale of being a Karmaisking sockpuppet. I think I might have been the one to request the Karmaisking SPI, but even at that time I made pretty clear that the "Camels" user had no discernible behavioral likeness to Karmaisking: User_talk:MuZemike/Archive_20#User:YouAndMeBabyAintNothingButCamels. The SPI clerk at the time seemed to have less-than-concrete evidence, though you may be privy to other details. If there are IP similarities, then it's possible they may be IRL friends or some such, but I've become extremely well-acquainted with Karmaisking and really do think User:YouAndMeBabyAintNothingButCamels should be exonerated. If for no other reason than WP:ROPE, I ask for an unblock for the editor. BigK HeX (talk) 05:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
