Pastor terry jones

It looks like you locked this redirect for Terry Jones (pastor). I would like to remove the redirect and create an article. Terry Jones is no longer notable for one event after the actual Quran burning last month. He should have his own page now. Pass a Method talk 08:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope wasn't me. You got the wrong guy. -- œ ^™ 08:14, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Enforse indeed....

Was your edit summary a typo, or an attempt at subliminal messaging? --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:26, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, a typo. -- œ ^™ 17:28, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Freudian slip I'm sure ;) --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:32, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 187 in popular culture is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/187 in popular culture until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Vietnam Random Text Line

There is a line of text right under the Song Da drum and above the map of Vietnam showing the conquest of the south (the Nam tiến, 1069-1757) that is the only full screen line in it's paragraph. It appears to detract from the reading experience of the article. I talked to another editor but don't know how to fix it and don't want to risk being called a vandal on a locked page. How would fix the page or should I just leave it alone? --MOLEY (talk) 04:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You should leave it alone and not worry about it. The page layout changes according to your settings. It appears differently for people depending on what page zoom settings they use in their browser and/or their desktop's resolution settings. It automatically adjusts itself. So for some users the paragraph between the two pictures appears as several lines and others see only one line. -- œ ^™ 06:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS question

Hey OE, how's it going. Got an OTRS q for u: on Satellite Sentinel Project we have some copy/pasted text. The third and fourth paras are copies from [2] and [3] respectively. Does the ticket (2011032310014406) cover this content? Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 01:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes permission has been given for the text per the OTRS ticket. -- œ ^™ 02:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. What's your feeling on pages like this (solely text copied verbatim from the subject's website)? Did you watch that stinker of a hockey game? The Interior (Talk) 03:02, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with it. If the text is neutral and meets all our policies and it's released under a compatible license then it's fine. Whatever does the job best.

No I didn't watch it but was following the score on the radio. By the time I got home it was already 4-1 so I don't bother watching the rest. I'm not concerned though. They'll still win the cup. -- œ ^™ 03:08, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note

I responded to your idea that you mentioned at Jimbo's page. Keep up the good work. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:34, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IRC

Hopefully you are not the OlEnglish on IRC because of this. :| Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 03:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! You are OlEnglish on IRC! :( Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 03:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! [4] Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 03:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

errrhm.. sorry? I don't understand.. did something happen to you on IRC? I can assure you that I wasn't on IRC the past 24 hours.. but I do know that there have been users impersonating me in the help channel.. -- œ ^™ 08:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I got +q on IRC which really pissed me off. I ran away for a few days and got a wonderful welcome (actually a few wonderful welcomes) after I reverted vandalism. The revisions have been revdeleted already but since you are an admin you can still view them (unless an oversighter came along and suppressed it). Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) ^T/_S 03:40, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...I don't see why either OlEnglish or I are in any way to blame for your choosing to continue to make comments which others had told you not to and then to take it personally when you were quieted. Re the vandalism, I think most anti-vand editors do get used to that sort of thing. Doesn't make it any more pleasant, of course. But your stress level is entirely up to you—if you're really feeling miserable or unable to handle it, I'd recommend that you step away and take a break. I've done so on occasion in the past; there's nothing wrong with putting the project aside for your personal well-being. sonia♫ 20:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OE, Help!

((Joseph A. Spadaro)), a newcommer, has come across difficulty. He needs help. He has left a help message on his talk page, at the end. It appears to be an edit war. I did say you would help. Sorry about all the sense of humour, but this appears serious! Thanks for all your help. Greenwich is just the same! The whole of Van-c were in St Perer's Sq.! MacOfJesus (talk) 20:33, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I enclose it here:

{{adminhelp}}

I need an administrator for help. Please advise. Thanks! Please see the following page: Deaths in 2011. Also, please see the following two Talk Page sections: Talk:Deaths in 2011#Stupidity and Talk:Deaths in 2011#Images. Also, please see the edits / reverts of the following user: B-Machine (talk · contribs). Can some administrator intervene, as this user is ignoring consensus and engaging in edit wars? I am not sure, administratively, how such matters are handled. Please advise. Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry if I've done wrong! MacOfJesus (talk) 20:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Looking into it. -- œ ^™ 01:58, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Just wanted to say hello. I'm a great fun of the work you have done so far. Keep going. God bless. -- CrossTempleJay talk 23:29, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again I saw you are willing to grant rollback rights. I was wondering if you could grant me the right. My work is divided between article writing and welcoming newbies. Concerning the latter, as I go about welcoming them, I come across a lot of newbies who wrongly edit pages (though some are clear vandalism) as often as I come across such errors I revert them and place messages on the talkpages showing them the right way to go about edits. With the experience I have acquired so far I believe I would be more effective in doing so with reviewer and rollback rights. Thank you-- CrossTempleJay talk 23:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crosstemplejay. I'm going to hold off on granting you the rights for now. I'd be glad to reconsider once you gain slightly more experience. Alternately, you may have success at WP:Requests for permissions if you wand to try there.. -- œ ^™ 20:36, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your reply. Thanks for the advice too. God bless. CrossTempleJay talk 21:03, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
