Thanks

For cleaning One Wachovia Center up. I got rid of one red link. Do you think it would be alright to make an article abouth the 4th and 5th tallest building? Also when will the AFD be removed? It's been 5 days.Alaskan assassin (talk) 00:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The AFD will be removed when an administrator closes the discussion. Be patient until an admin finds the time to close; it may take a few days. At this point, it looks like the article will survive.

Regarding the red link: I plan on creating an article about the Wachovia Corporate Center; that's why I left the link there. No worries though, I'll return the link once the article is created.

It would be alright to make an article about any building, providing that you clearly state its notability and provide reliable sources. As a general rule of thumb: if the building is covered in the news or some other third party publication, it may be worth creating an article for.

Thanks for the tips and sorry about that link. I'll try to start outting edit summarys.Alaskan assassin (talk) 18:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I just created Bank of America Plaza (Charlotte). Could you clean it up for me?Alaskan assassin (talk) 19:55, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can when I have a little spare time. I put it on my watchlist to keep an eye on it in the meantime.

vandalism reverting

Hello Jkeene
I noticed that you revert a lot of vandalism. Thank you for helping keep Wikipedia the best encyclopedia in the world!
However, I have noticed that you do not always leave warnings on the vandals talk pages. You should always leave an appropriate warning after reverting vandalism. (The full list of talk page warnings may be found here, along with some suggestions and guidelines for using them.)
Be sure to leave the correct level of warning, and if the vandal has been warned four times in the last month, (Check the vandal's talk page history. Some vandals remove warnings from their talk pages.) report the vandal by going to this page and following the instructions.
Thank you again, and may the vandals fail... J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 16:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that all "vandalism" warrants a warning. If the vandalism is in good faith, accidental, or otherwise benign, I generally don't waste the time to warn. I do always check the user's contributions, and I always warn when there is a clear pattern of vandalism. Unfortunately my time is limited, and efficient editing is essential if I'm ever going to make progress on my "To Do" list. Thank you for your contributions.
Regards,

2008 Atlanta tornado outbreak

He removed those because those were reported tornadoes. It has been long enough since the event that those reported tornadoes were not confirmed by the National Weather Service and therefore can be deleted. Cheers. --CWY2190^T^C 02:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

Promotional Edits

Hi. I got a message from you saying my contributions were promotional. I don't work for the dividend company and I think it's a good reference to get dividend history. Infact I was thinking I will soon put references to more dividend history pages. If you think that site doesn't have useful content or it's spam site I will disagree. It's a useful resource for anyone planning to invest in these publicly traded companies.

I appreciate you keeping an eye on 'spam' contributions. But I don't think my purpose was to spam. I would love to hear from you about this and if you keep deleting my contributions I will stop wasting my time here.

Jeet (talk) 05:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)jeet[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I've left an extended response on your talk page. I hope you will continue to edit Wikipedia, as it needs as much help as it can get.

My reference

This is where I saw the link for the first time and thought I should make my contributions too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM

Jeet (talk) 05:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)jeet[reply]

The link there was added 3 days ago by an IP address. I've removed it from that page as well.
--JKeene (talk) 08:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your prompt response. There aren't too many sites offering detailed dividend history for many companies. I found another site quickstar something. Ideally yahoo and google finance should include to remove need for such sites. This one works only for NASDAQ listed companies, if I can find another site that lets me choose other exchanges I think that will surely be useful. :) I am also trying to locate some more sites that would give exact buy/sell calls for different companies.

Should the article on The Living Word Fellowship be deleted?

Seeing your recent edits to the article on The Living Word Fellowship has made me wonder whether the article should be deleted from Wikipedia. I don't think that the subject of the article satisfies the requirements of being notable in that there is not significant coverage of the topic to allow for no original research. When I search for "Living Word Fellowhsip" (in quotes) in Google Books, there are five pages of hits, but not one of them contains information regarding this particular Living Word Fellowship. When I search for "living word fellowship" (also in quotes) in Google, there are pages upon pages of churches with the same name. What is your opinion on this matter? Jeremiah (talk) 23:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no reliable sources that discuss The Living Word Fellowship then it should be deleted. I haven't done enough research into it myself to be sure that there are no good sources out there. One good way to find out for sure would be to list the article under WP:Articles for deletion, and find out if anyone objects that can provide reliable sources to back up their objections.

marietta family history

jkeene

i am very well researched in my family's history and i know that marietta is a very unique name. it is only one family that came from france with 5 sons. i know for a fact where we settled and why we left france, so please stop deleting my history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smarietta (talk • contribs) 01:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. The reason I reverted your edits is that Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires questionable statements to be cited with reliable sources. Please review the relevant policy and cite your contributions with the sources you've researched. If you need any assistance with citations, let me know and I will be glad to help.

thanks for help with "misplaced" WaMu image (and a wiki question)

hi,

thanks to your eyeballs for quickly finding my missing closing braces.

my question: how does one generate the symbol "|" on the keyboard (i can't find it on my labelled keys so i guess it's a ASCII number thing?)? also, what's it called?

thanks again.--68.173.2.68 (talk) 10:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On my keyboard, it is immediately above the Enter key. The same key contains "\". Shift+\=|. Honestly, I don't know what the symbol is called. Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
--JKeene (talk) 02:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the clue on the "vertical bar." it works on mine as well. if would have helped if my keyboard had it illustrated as its works and not as its "sister" symbol - "broken vertical bar" (which i had seen but, stupidly, not sampled). "North American keyboards typically have a key bearing a broken-bar symbol, which produces a vertical bar" (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_bar).

back in the dark ages (70s) when i had typing courses, keyboards had NO marks on the keys. yet another of the vast mysteries solved!--68.173.2.68 (talk) 07:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citigroup

I read that you took off some of the criticism part of their page I would like to know if Enron was ever mentioned in the list of criticisms towards them. On the section of the article for Enron labeled Post-banruptcy there is something about Citigroup's possibble involvement with Enron's dubious accounting practices. I don't know how to change the article but feel it is necessary that such a change be made, unless of course Citigroup had nothing to do Enron. Congetingle (talk) 02:48, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was mentioned. Here is the old section, removed in December 2007 for lack of reliable sources, per Wikipedia's verifiability policy.

"Citigroup was accused of helping Enron and other companies hide their losses by loaning money to those companies in a special way that would reduce liabilities visible on the balance sheet. In May 2004 the company agreed to pay $2.65 billion, or $1.64 billion after tax, to settle a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities."

If you return it, please make sure to include reliable sources.
