Please read before commenting here

I will try to post replies on the same talk page that the original post was made.

So if you post here, I will reply here, and if I posted to your talk page, I will monitor it and see any replies you make. I think this makes things less confusing because the conversation doesn't get split across two different pages. If you want me to reply elsewhere, please say so. Thanks! -- Jeff G. 03:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Aritcle

Sorry, but the whole point of that page is to document a common misspelling on Wikipedia. Hardly notable, unless several reliable, third parties have commented on this. See also WP:ASR. Kaustuv Chaudhuri 01:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to check into that, thanks! -- Jeff G. (talk|contribs|links|watch|logs) 02:42, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah well, I've had my fun. The subsection which follows is how the article looked before Kaustuv Chaudhuri made it a redirect.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Archive of article

Frequent misspelling of Article per Special:Search/Aritcle and about 194,000 hits on Google. On a QWERTY computer keyboard used by someone who is touch typing, this misspelling will occur frequently because the right middle finger reaching North for the "I" key is much faster than the left index finger reaching Northeast for the "T" key (assuming the typist is facing North). {{stub}}

Ccson

Why have you reverted comments on my user page that I clearly removed twice? You stated that "this is not your page", if the User Talk page for Ccson is not my page, then please tell me whose page is it.--Ccson 19:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, you have twice removed postings from your user talk page. These postings were not put on your talk page to annoy you; they were placed there because another editor has noticed an issue with your behaviour that may require improvement. They are a method of communication and user talk pages stand as a record of communication with you. If you do not believe the postings were valid or have a question about improving your behaviour you can respond here or visit the help desk. If your talk page is becoming long, you can archive it in accordance with the guidelines laid out here. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 12:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you just summarily revert or do you actually read what is being deleted. The user in question was asking me to do something; so how can he have a issue with my behavior since I had not and I indicated that I would not perform the task he requested. If he wanted the task completed, he could have easily performed it himself.--Ccson 21:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello JeffGent, the comments at issue on his page were placed there by a sock of banned User:Mykungfu.[1] The banned editor is clearly taunting User:Ccson by attempting to goad him into placing a sock warning on the user page for User:Real96 which was checkusered inconclusive as a sock. The banned editor cut and pasted the same message on the pages of several editors who reported him/her previously. Is it your understanding that said comments must stay on his page unless he goes through an AIV? thanks in advance for your clarification.-Robotam 15:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Robotam, I think it would have been more appropriate for Ccson to explain the situation in a reply on his talk page, and let any readers decide for themselves.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ccson, I read what you deleted, and have just now read Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Mykungfu(64th). For me, what was posted to your page didn't come close to any of the personal attack / defamation stuff that justifies deletion.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

doesn't look that way . [2] -- annoymous nupe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.165.67.45 (talkcontribs) 16:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What doesn't look what way? You're going to have to be more specific. I agree that the URL you provided is to Ccson's redeletion of info posted by 64.131.205.239 and 172.165.197.198. And that you appear to be posting from AOL, just like 172.165.197.198 did.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


It looks like you're about to get placed up as being a possible sockpuppet of user:MyKungFu by Ccson. A possible suspension of your account may occur. [3] . It happened here as well to user:Real96 [4] . A possible RFC may be in order [5]. Best of luck. There is an open season on users who are thought to be MyKungfu [6] , many times it is proven false [7] . This though violates good faith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.191.5.102 (talkcontribs) 04:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

172.191.5.102, thank you for alerting me that Ccson posted "JeffGent is non other than MKF.--Ccson 21:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)" to User talk:Robotam. No, I am not MKF. Yes, I have mistakenly used one of my home IP Addresses 24.90.165.192 to post to Wikipedia on three occasions after forgetting to login, and I'm sorry about that, I'm new here. Yes, I have once questioned and once reverted Ccson's wholesale deletion of taunting by MKF and its detestable sockpuppets. I don't approve of sockpuppetry, but OTOH I don't approve of wholesale deletion without sufficient explanation. If you review my many contributions, you will see that I became interested in Wikipedia a little over a month ago, found a redlink Daniel Terdiman in its article Wikipedia, went about creating an article Daniel Terdiman, got much assistance from Kevin Murray with saving that article from an AfD, and have been conversing with Kevin about that article and other topics on various pages (for instance, we're currently working together to try to save article Redhouse Yacht Club). I also hate throwing anything away and have an affinity for rule systems (including in this case punctuation and the policies relevant to talk pages). So it should come as no surpise that I became interested by User talk:Kevin Murray#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FCharles_C._Poindexter and posted this and just three minutes later (realizing my mistake of not having put a space in front of my sig) corrected my sig here. It should also come as no surprise that my User talk page is archived.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 13:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jeff is not a sockpuppet. He and I have worked together on other articles and he did get involved in Poindexter after reading something at my talk page. --Kevin Murray 03:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Daniel terdiman 150.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Daniel terdiman 150.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
