Welcome to the Typo Team

Hi, Jackson Peebles. Saw your pledge at the Typo Team. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. See you around! Cheers, Jason

Video Tutorials

Hey Jackson, I was just reading about your project with a grant from WMF to create screencast video tutorials. This sounds really helpful, and if you need any help, I would be glad to pitch in. Just let me know. Happy editing! Go Phightins! 18:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you are looking to do it solo, that's OK too, I just wanted to add a psst in case you missed my message. No need to reply; it's up to you :) Go Phightins! 02:48, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, GP! I've been swamped with work. I'd love some help. The problem is finding out where I need help the most! Your kind offers are always appreciated, and I'll tell you right now that, even if I didn't want/need assistance (which I do), I'd tell you so. Did you have anything in mind that you might specialize in? --Jackson Peebles (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I too have been rather sparse lately due to some real life commitments. I can help with pretty much whatever. I am not an expert coder, so pretty much anything other than that, I can help with. Writing scripts for videos, editing, proofreading, whatever you need, let me know. June looks good for my availability, July looks wretched, August looks potentially decent. Let me know. Go Phightins! 03:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've got three things for you, then :

  1. Script (word-for-word, it's what I'll plug into the voice generator)/"screenplay" (doesn't need to be detailed, if you say "italicize this" then I'll know how to do that, obviously) for a tutorial that shows how to make basic edits (bold, italicize, a basic reference, section headings, links - basically the stuff at the top of the editor).
  2. Script for reverting vandalism, welcoming users, etc., using Twinkle specifically (there are going to be lots of vandalism, but Twinkle gets its own).
  3. Do you know how to get content in the Signpost or wikipedia-l mailing list? I've had great difficulty. I'd also like to eventually get these on the fancy-schmancy ad bars on the top of pages, but I think that's a long shot.

Thanks! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 03:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am a Signpost reporter, as you may have read in the In the media section, but in all honesty I am not sure you can necessarily get into the Signpost unless you wait at the back of the line at the WikiProject report. I'll talk to Ed about it and see what he thinks. When I have time, I will script how to welcome users. I may even record a "rough draft" if I figure out how.

Hello

Hi Jackson Pebbles. I am in Nerdfighter's CVUA class and just poped in to say hi. Actualy, I have 2 questions: 1 how do I get the user page format you have, I like its "clean" look? 2 I saw that you have the Teahouse first birthday badge, and that you got it on 2/27/13. I joined the next day, so I wondered if I could get the badge too? -- Thus Spake Lee Tru. 19:17, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Use this format (I, in turn, took it from another user):

{{user info | full name = Your Name (or username) | image name = imageofyourchoice.png | hover text = hover text of image | job title = Your job title (just make it clear you're not with WMF) | organization = Self-explanatory | short quote = ''"Jackson Peebles is awesome."'' —Everyone | about me = I am blabla. | about my work = I do blabla. {{break!}} | contact me = * E-mail: email * Other }}

  • The badge was handed out by experienced Teahouse users. Read more at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Badge. I would not recommend awarding yourself a badge, though if you keep doing good work, others will reward you - I promise! Sometimes it just takes time to get public appreciation, though the public and the community will always appreciate positive work that you do on the Wiki. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 04:50, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Getting into trouble continuously

Hi I am getting into trouble with my edits most of the time either creating a controversy or some thing like that. I had joined wikipedia course with you as instructor kindly guide me in the future. Hoping for your assistance.Benedictdilton (talk) 02:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a rare instance where I have replied on your talk page. Please refer to it for more information. --Jackson Peebles (talk) 05:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in the adoption offer you had given me. The page you guided me seems a little confusing and I was not able to find a way to make a request there. Thanks in advance for your help and feed back of SPI page. I would like to learn how to become a perfect editor in wikipedia. Benedictdilton (talk) 05:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On Felipe Melo

I was reverting a vandalous edit. You can check the history of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LieutenantLatvia (talk • contribs) 21:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I'm aware. That's why I sent an WP:AGF message; I thought you'd just be interested in seeing what happened. Otherwise, with a user of your experience, I wouldn't have done a thing to your user talk page. The problem was that it was reverted to another vandalized page (see history). So, I just reverted it to the last good revision! No harm done!
I see! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LieutenantLatvia (talk • contribs) 01:40, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Labs

Hi Jackson. I saw your RfC at VPR and somebody mentioned Wikimedia Labs. I've written up WP:LABS which I hope has some helpful information about Wikimedia Labs that you might find useful. As you can probably tell from my comments at WT:VIDTUT, I'm a supporter of your project. 64.40.54.118 (talk) 07:00, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
