Hi

Good to see you back. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:22, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Pavan, it's good to be back! It seems that I really needed that break because I feel more refreshed than ever at the moment. How are you? JAGUAR  17:23, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Dispirited since 26 June due to a very strong personal loss. May take months to bounce back. Meanwhile, some small productive things here and there with due help from Kailash; he has been very helpful in the recent past. I'm sure i'll be better sooner; Good luck to you, bro! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm really sorry to hear that. I just want you to know that I completely understand how it feels to lose someone as I've been through it more than once. Even when I was in my self-imposed exile I noticed that great work that has been coming from you two! JAGUAR  17:54, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

What next for the big and better deals? Any plans? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:59, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, great to have you back! Hope you've come back feeling refreshed!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:58, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

I guess he has, Doctor! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:59, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

I suppose that I'll be focusing less on video games now and will be returning to bringing up some towns and cities to GA. I'm not sure yet as I've got a load of ideas. I just feel like I want to expand my horizon if you know what I mean, because I feel like I'm underachieving by writing obscure video games. After spending time with the witches in the New Forest I feel very refreshed ;-D JAGUAR  18:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:26, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Super Mario Galaxy screenshot

Just to let you know, the screenshot on the Super Mario Galaxy article (this one) is actually from Super Mario Galaxy 2, not this game, so it will need to be replaced. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 06:04, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Oops, thanks for letting me know. I had no idea. I thought that the IP was the same one who vandalised the article not so long ago! I'll replace it. JAGUAR  09:55, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

AWB, etc.

Sorry to see you get bounced at the noticeboard. Don't be dispirited by it, you have so much to offer in other areas.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:41, 4 August 2016 (UTC).

Thanks Rich. I really thought that they would have given me a second chance. JAGUAR  19:20, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

RTL review

Hey Jaguar! If you're not busy with other Wiki-activities, can you check if Ride the Lightning satisfies the FA criteria and share your opinion at the FAC page? You've reviewed this article at the GAN, so you should be generally familiar with the content. Appreciate your time and all the best.--Retrohead (talk) 21:03, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Retrohead, I'm a bit busy with another matter at the moment but I promise to leave comments at the FAC within a couple of days! The article is looking great. JAGUAR  11:14, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Taylor Swift Videography

Can you restore this revision of the page and then move it to Taylor Swift videography in a way so that the history can be seen on the page with the small v in videography? (You have the filemover privilege, which I don't). FrB.TG (talk) 10:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: I just tried moving it and it said "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason: The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move." I don't think even pagemover rights will let me move this because an article already exists with the lowercase 'v'. Only an admin can merge the histories together with Taylor Swift Videography and Taylor Swift videography... JAGUAR  10:43, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. @Cyphoidbomb: can you merge their histories and delete the page Taylor Swift Videography as it is an incorrect title. FrB.TG (talk) 10:52, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

GA reviews

It was suggested by Dr. Blofeld at the West Country Challenge that you might be able to review my two GANs submitted for the Dorset minichallenge. The two articles in question are Jurassic Coast and Kingston Lacy. I know you did a number of reviews during the Awaken the Dragon challenge, but the Good Article Cup was on then so I doubt you'll be so keen now ;) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:53, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I like the Jurassic Coast. I see that Dr. Blofeld has taken Kingston Lacy already, otherwise I was going to review that too. Let me know if you want anything else reviewing! JAGUAR  21:09, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I might take you up on that. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:29, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Oopiri

Would you like to review this GAN of mine? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:41, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Sure, taken. It might be a day or two until I begin the review as I'm feeling ill and drained. JAGUAR  11:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

No worries. Take your own time. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:22, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for taking up the review, Jaguar. All the best for your FAC -- Super Mario Galaxy. I too shall start the second FAC of Eega tomorrow (the first was withdrawn due to a personal loss). I'm happy that i could find things that can keep me busy, as sitting idle in RL is very haunting in the current situation. BTW, any Indian films watched recently?

ANI close

Hi, thanks for your input at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Cassianto: incivility and rejecting community input at Talk:Noël Coward. I doubt this would change the outcome, but I wanted to clarify that I made no proposal to 'ban' Cassianto from participating in infobox discussions; I was proposing to ban him from a single discussion, which happens to be about infoboxes, in which he has been repeatedly uncivil and explicitly unwilling to accept community input, as an alternative to a simple incivility or disruption block. FourViolas (talk) 13:28, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jaguar. I have undone your hatting of the thread, because the Infobox matter is the subject of an active Arbcom restriction on decorum. Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Decorum. — Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. When I closed the thread I was thinking of the previous discussions that tried to ban him from infobox discussions, and wasn't thinking of single Noel Coward discussion. Sorry for being unclear. Diannaa, the Arbcom decorum restriction prohibits actions such as "personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, harassment, disruptive point-making, and gaming the system". How was my closure any different from SchroCat's close two days ago and the closures before that? JAGUAR  14:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

The main topic of the thread is Cassianto's behavior at Talk:Nöel Coward. I believe it's in violation of the Arbcom ruling on decorum during Infobox discussions, and would like more input on that point at WP:ANI. That's why I re-opened the thread. — Diannaa (talk) 14:29, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I understand. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. JAGUAR  14:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

GA Review - GOT

Your GA nomination of Super Mario Galaxy

The article Super Mario Galaxy you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Super Mario Galaxy for things which need to be addressed.

FA nomination of 2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl

You were involved in the promotion of the 2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl article to GA-class, so I thought you might be interested in leaving your comments on the same article's featured article candidate page to help it reach FA-class. Please let me know if there are changes necessary before you can support its candidacy for being a featured article. Thank you. TempleM (talk) 01:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 articles improvement by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:09, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Lost

What do think of the discussion on Handel's lost Hamburg operas? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Gerda. I think it's pretty good, seeing as the infobox documents a list of lost operas. Really it's only infoboxes for biographies which I am sceptical on, but on the contrary I find them pretty useful for articles like settlements and video games. In the one you sent me I think it should be OK, although I'm not an expert on the subject matter. I just don't want any hard feelings on the MfD, it's just that I don't like infoboxes when they aren't needed! JAGUAR  15:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

It's operas though where I came from. In the one mentioned, I was reverted, discussed, accepted the revert. I don't know where the idea of "breeding ground for infobox warring" comes from. I have not warred, infobox or else, in my career, and don't take it well. Other example Chopin: after discussion, Brianboulton installed the compromise infobox in the article, agreed on by the pricipal editor Smerus. Came another editor, interpreted the discussion differently and reverted, - accepted (admittedly not without bitterness in that case). Did you hear the word compromise? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I guess I will never understand why a date of premiere for an opera is alright, but a date of birth in a composer is not. - Nicer topic: I have a FAC open, perhaps you'd like to comment, should be easy after Wehwalt and Dank supported ;) - Even nicer: my pic on top of my talk ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:39, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I suppose that an opera and a biography of a person are two different things, and presentation is a major factor as well. I think that some of my views were mentioned by others at the MfD discussion; I know for a fact that all hell would break loose if somebody created a page that is focused on removing infoboxes from articles, and I hope that its withdrawal would help calm the waters. I got a FAC on my hands at the moment, but I'll be happy to leave comments soon! Lovely pic by the way! JAGUAR  20:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Looking forward to your FA comments! - What can I say to make you understand that the QAI page is not a call to do something about infoboxes, - just the fact that they were reverted. - I don't care if an article has an infobox or not, but reverting a long-standing one seems a problem I want to remember. I'll go and archive, how is that? - An opera and a bio have in common, that an infobox (and actually also our prose) cannot capture genius, but we can still have the plain facts like dates and places, and I fail to see a difference, compare Verdi's Falstaff, TFA on 1 January as a hopeful beginning of this year, the opera brought to FA by Tim riley, in honour of Viva-Verdi. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

The info-box for Falstaff was already in place when I began working on the piece, and though it is a waste of space I left it in situ feeling that it would be as arrogant and presumptuous of me to remove it as it is arrogant and presumptuous of Gerda and co to issue a Diktat that I must add a box to any article I write. Don't worry, Gerda: you shan't have to take my name in vain any more. The bullying, whining and bad faith of a handful of editors has ground me down and I am withdrawing from editing Wikipedia.
