Welcome to my user talk page!

Please do all of the following:
  • Always link to the text, image, or edit you want to discuss. When linking to an image, use a colon. For example, "[[:Image:Example.jpg]]" produces "Image:Example.jpg". If i stop vandolizing, will you give me money?
  • Don't forget to provide a proper Edit Summary for each and every edit, and a proper signature for each and every post to a talk page or notice board. I may revert edits that do not have such features, rather than respond to them.
  • Reply to interactive messages at the location of the original topic to not scatter talk all around, fracturing the discussion. I do have nearly all pages I have posted to recently on my Watchlist. If I missed a comment, please use {{Talkback}} to drop me a short reminder with a link here.
  • Respect my babel boxes.
  • If you're copying files from another project to Wikimedia Commons, be sure to use the CommonsHelper.
  • If your text or image is lacking source, license, or permission, fix that instead of asking here what is wrong. There should be a message on your talk page explaining things in detail. Apologies for having to be so clear if this message is not related to the matter you would like to address.
  • Post here if you want to reach me, or reply to a post below via the edit link above that post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

my postings

OK, so the femme jay thing was funny. and I should have been messing around in the sandbox. Although I did change it back immediately, I do apologize.

However, it IS true that MJ is #2 in most demographics, and if I must cite that to include it in his obviously biased wikipedia entry, then I will. I believe it is worth mentioning. All local ratings for radio shows should be listed, especially if they are a major market morning show. This is just like the billboard single charts that shows their top position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.13.21 (talk) 02:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly where can one find that ranking? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 06:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new here. I actually just started about 15 minutes ago. I edited the article Dracula. I didn't put a reference down at first and I got a message telling me to put down a reference to where I got my info. I did and then you sent me a message telling me something about vandalism. How can I fix that problem and put the reference down the right way?--VampireKen (talk) 06:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what is "Arrow In The Head News:Dracula:Undead"? Where can one find it? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 06:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

as it appears to be unconstructive

why it appears to you unconstructive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.182.53 (talk) 07:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a source for what you appear to claim as the meaning of the name "Abraham", please cite that source. Also, misspellings of "Understand" and misuse of it in place of "Understood" are not encyclopedic.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 07:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

be carefull!

The vast majority of Cedunited's edits were ok! I checked them already. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I had to act fast because you are editing really fast!! Cedunited is a sockpuppet but in its last edits it only tried to convert infoboxes. All other edits it made are already reverted. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed my remaining reverts of Cedunited.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Editing Thalía page

Hello Jeff,

Pardon for my mistake. I have put the sources for both the Biography and Artistic section of Thalia's page below the article page. Both info came from many Mexican magazines and Philippine newspapers. Please look at the Biography Source and Artistic Sources section below. Please correct how I did it if you think I made a mistake in doing so. Thank you. Rocksky (talk) 23:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

You left a message with me. I was undoing someone's deletion of a whole section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jyngyr (talkcontribs) 00:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Huggle had a race condition.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


"Sockpuppet" Issue

Just to let you know, I was not attacking anyone. If stating facts and points are attacking, God help us all.

--Rrindie126 (talk) 02:51, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looked like an attack to me.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your warning re Pomona New Community

I see you left a warning for User:mdslazas for his removing my PROD from Pomona New Community. Actually, he's allowed to do that, though he ought to explain his reason. (He wasn't allowed to remove my original CSD, and I warned him for that, but then I changed my mind because the rules for CSD seem inconsistent and I wasn't sure they apply to a program like that.) I'll just replace it with an AfD. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll try harder not to remove PRODs. You may also want to consider that User:mdslazas is probably the "Matthew Slazas" mentioned in the article, a WP:COI.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 03:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know why you reverted this edit. What about it caused you concern to the point you felt it should be reverted? It was, and appears to me to be, a reasonable comment in response to the post above it. Reversion of talk page posts, particularly a relatively sensible one in the middle of an ongoing and current conversation between several editors, does not really seem to be the best use of Huggle. I'll look forward to your response and will watch your talk page. Thanks. Risker (talk) 04:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree. We have been working hard to get Kay to participate meaningfully and that reversion was not at all helpful. ++Lar: t/c 04:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I restored and commented upon it at Talk:Pro se legal representation in the United States#Restored_comment_of_kay_sieverding. 04:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure I follow that comment. ++Lar: t/c 05:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The only reason I deleted Kay's comment from that page was that the comment was in the middle of a URL. I put it back on that page in a different place with what I hoped was an adequate explanation.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Huggle rocks!

Heya! Just a note; I reverted this reversion of yours, as that user is legitimately seeking a namechange. Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it. :) Just thought I'd let you know. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 04:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't notice which page it was.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jeff G.,

What makes you think my edit to this article was vandalism? As I maintained, the edit I reverted was added as vandalism by User:Farcaster, who stalked me through my user contributions list.

99.165.237.233 (talk) 05:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted an image that depicts the results of the topic of the article. I call that vandalism.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Jeff, that answer is non-responsive. "The Economic policy of the George W. Bush administration" has a virtually unlimited number of results. Using your logic anything from whatever motivation grounded in any circumstances whatsoever would be appropriate matter for the lede, and you would call removing it vandalism. Jeff, are you attempting to harass me? 99.165.237.233 (talk) 05:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Jeff, you have had 2½ hours to investigate my claims of vandalism having occurred, and have not responded. However, I appreciate your work elsewhere at stopping vandalism. So here [1] is the diff that provoked User:Farcaster to stalk me through following my prior entries in my user contribution list to find an article I was editing and deprecated the article by:
Creating a counterfeit chart disguised as legitimate content:
Through having its creation date forged
Through inserting it at first with a caption with inappropriate informality and then removing it.
And if there were any doubt that he actually committed the act I described in my capsule summary of his behavior, in the chart he proceeded to parade the traits I had criticized or suspected in his prior behavior:
Lack of context
Inappropriate emotional appeal.
Electioneering.
He further paraded his defiance by placing the phony chart in the lede and where it was irrelevant to the content there.
I am removing this vandalism, and I think if you respect your vandalism patrol enough not to let it be hijacked by the spiteful, childish behavior of certain individuals, you will place a vandalism warning on User:Farcaster's page.

Recent deaths

When an editor adds someone's death to an article with absolutely no explanation and no sources, don't do something like this - just revert it as the vandalism it is and move on. If it turns out to be true, a good editor will eventually add the information. I understand that it might have been confusing because the editing was going so fast, but the principle still holds. Graham87 09:30, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 09:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On Vandalizing your Page

I hope you realize that as soon as you block this IP address, I'll just change it or get on one of the other 50 computers in this room and keep going. You brought this on yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.252.40.102 (talk) 17:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you realize that your efforts will probably be fruitless, given that the University of South Carolina probably uses network address translation.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 17:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
This is for all your great anti-vandalism work. You must have beaten me about half-a-dozen times this hour alone! Keep up your great work. Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 17:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 17:41, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, its just the fruit of your labour :). Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 17:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey

In my revision I have provided a neutral point of view, for both secularism and conservatism present in Turkey, all entered with reliable sources. For doing this action, this user reverts it by giving a reason of me being an 'Islamist' - is that a valid reason to revert my neutral revision?Mohsin (talk) 17:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What reversion are you writing about? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 17:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My revision: [2] in comparision to this: [3] I have provided information for both secularism and conservatism present in Turkey with reliable sources, but is reverted as accuse me of an Islamist for that, which is idiotic. Currently it is continuously being reverted, please help. Thanks! Mohsin (talk) 17:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, please add any comments on the reversion on the article talk page, thanks. Mohsin (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have re-edited my version of the section, please add your comments on the Talk Page, whether you are in favor of my revision (hopefully), or the other after reviewing it, Thanks! Mohsin (talk) 19:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Do you know who that person who vandalized my talkpage is? Fclass (talk) 20:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, just its contributions.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi Jeff, I think your Huggle use was too fast and I reverted your changes related to online chat. Hope that is fine with you? - 83.254.214.192 (talk) 10:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think your use of the past tense in the word "moved" was disingenuous.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:24, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

I have reverted back the edit to bi. The entry was a reference to an album and a group - both articles recently deleted as non-notable self-advertisement. Or perhaps I am missing something. 62.64.205.212 (talk) 10:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for the notification.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:19, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to my talk page

Thanks. I think either User:Doug s has gone off the rails slightly or the account's been compromised. William Avery (talk) 11:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose time will tell.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting

Sorry man. Won't happen again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pheonex (talkcontribs) 20:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But I was just showing him a page I found... Pheonex (talk) 21:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have no other way of communicating with him?   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SEE EDIT SUMMARY

Hi. Please see the edit summary on the signature you just reverted and I'll say to you as well that you should include a shared IP clause at the bottom of your warnings to shared IP's. Thanks. It should be clear that what I did is for clarity and not vandalism after reading the summary. 96.5.66.240 (talk) 21:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC) AKA 45Factoid44 (talk) 21:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC) <-----THEY'RE BOTH ME DUDE. SIGNING IS NOT VANDALISM!![reply]

Thanks for the advice, please tell Gurch, my recent warnings use his wording in huggle.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thank you. 45Factoid44 (talk) 21:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
