Congratulations
Great profile in Business Insider, congrats and great user page you have. I like the chronology with the link to articles on what you have been up to. I may copy that. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Thanks yourself! I mostly kept it around for my own benefit--spring 2012 was a crazy time for me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:04, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- I got to spend a lunchtime with Oliver Sacks at and American Chemical Society tradeshow. My trick was to hang out with his wrangler during the book signing, and when the break came she introduced me to him, and he invited me to walk around the show with them during the lunch break. It was a great hour. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:09, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): He seems like such a genuinely kind and wise man. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:X-language websites
Can you explain why any of "Category:X-language websites" or the "Category:X-language media" you created to categorize them, are appropriate? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:34, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Arthur Rubin: I don't understand what you mean by them being appropriate. There are schemes for Category:Mass media by language and Category:Websites by language (and albums, books, songs, operas, newspapers, films, etc...) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:40, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- They may be appropriate schemes, in general, but that doesn't mean categories that should be empty should necessarily be created. A quick scan shows about 79 of the websites categories have only one entry, most of which are probably DMOZ. Furthermore, Category:English-language websites would be unmanageable if maintenance were attempted, as most articles in Category:Websites [and subcategories] should be in it. Category:English-language media makes a little more sense, but not much. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- Perhaps DMOZ, Wikipedia, and other multilingual WikiMedia websites, should be placed in a new category Category:Multilingual websites, and the individual categories be reserved for websites which are primarily in that language, possibly with one or two others. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:03, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Arthur Rubin: I don't really mind some kind of standard as long as it's applied regularly. Do you know of standards regarding other media? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:05, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not really, but I don't know where to check for or propose such standards. The question of whether DMOZ should be in the -language websites categories is a matter for the DMOZ editors (sorry, I mean editors of the article DMOZ, not editors of DMOZ), even if guidelines for the categories are established. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@Arthur Rubin: Well, you could check the Manual of Style, help pages on categorizing, or relevant projects like WP:MASSMEDIA. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:08, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to take off shortly. (In fact, I should already have gone.) I won't take any further action for at least 8 hours, and I will check for projects. In general, though, "English-language X" is a questionable category on en.Wikipedia, as most X will be English-language, unless it were a specific category such as Category:English-language media about Russia (which probably doesn't exist.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:12, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Arthur Rubin: also, it's not a problem to have small small categories as a part of a larger scheme. I reject the idea about "English-language X" being a problem--there's no reason to assume that things we discuss here were composed in English. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:13, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Go Fund Yourself, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Start-up.

Comment on edit war
Hi. I noticed that you are an editor of Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide and I would greatly appreciate if you could give your opinion on the matter of track listing formatting in the edit war that User:Radiopathy started at Talk:Shades of Deep Purple.

Help!?
Hi, could you please help me with the article "Allan Schwartzberg". Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 19:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Joe Vitale 5: I don't have much in time or expertise to offer but I can do a little bit. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:39, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, do you know any other editors that are good with writing about their Careers, I'm not. All the best wishes and kind regards Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 08:48, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Joe Vitale 5: Sorry, I don't. You can always post to WT:ROCK or WT:JAZZ and see if anyone is interested. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:15, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Hey
How's it going? URDNEXT (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- @URDNEXT: Okay enough. You? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:41, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Me too. You watch a lot of football? Or sports in general? URDNEXT (talk) 12:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- @URDNEXT: Not really but I'll get caught up in a basketball or football game if it's on television. Baseball is best watched in person. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:15, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Agree. It's even better when you catch the ball from your seat. URDNEXT (talk) 15:20, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- @URDNEXT: That's the dream. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- How awesome would it be to catch one? If I did, I'd frame it and put it on a wall at my house. URDNEXT (talk) 02:45, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
