Archiving

Sorry, its been a long day, and i am not usually this absent minded when trying to create such simply pages. Thanks for the help. I'm going to stop tinkering with the archive pages (all of them) before I screw something else up. Thanks for your help. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright then, I trust whoever looks at the pages will get them sorted out. Thanks for the help. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

An admin has sorted out the problem, just as you asked. TomStar81 (Talk) 02:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

A More Perfect Union

There is no doubt that the speech is more sought after than the book (http://stats.grok.se/en/200806/A_More_Perfect_Union_(Speech) vs http://stats.grok.se/en/200806/A More Perfect Union: Advancing New American Rights). The question is whether more people who enter that phrase are looking for the Preamble to the United States Constitution for which it is the stated first objective. I guess a move would be O.K., but is there a way to see the clickthroughs on the preamble link?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

You can get some outside opinion and expert advice by proposing this at WP:RM. I am not really sure what the right thing to do is.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Requested assistance

Hi. :) In the turn-about is fair play category, I'd like to ask you if you'd mind looking at a copyright problem I'm having trouble investigating here. I've cleared out everything except St. Agnes Catholic High School, and I can't get the listed sources to load. I don't know if this is a problem on my end. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if you can't get them to load, either. I tried searching wayback with no luck. I know that you're not online atm, but this is not urgent. When you can. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't mean it to consume too much of your time. But I can't address the copyvio if I can't see the source, and you were the first person I thought to ask for assistance. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Professionalism and notability

Hey, I remember you from before and you seem pretty knowledgeable, so I have a question. In the matter of professional reviews for music albums and posting the reviews on articles, does Wikipedia look for professionalism, or reviewer notability? If you know a link pointing in either direction, please provide, I can't find any. If not, just give me your opinion, please. dude527 (talk) 21:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much! The discussion we were having was if a Rolling Stone review should be taken out of an article because it seems "unprofessional". Then we got into a whole discussion about notability being more important then professionalism on Wikipedia, and the other user was arguing that professionalism is more important. Rolling Stone is a very notable source and should be on the article, regardless of the professionalism. Thank you for your opinion again, and I will read the link you provided. dude527 (talk) 22:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reverts on my talk page. I've sent in a report on the IP but I guess a follow up is needed. Don't worry about the sockpuppet report, these things happen. It gave me a good chuckle. I'm on a speakerphone right now interviewing a lady for a teaching job and trying to keep up with the IP. Then I see the sockpuppet report. Now I'm trying not to laugh and have the poor woman think I'm laughing at her. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 00:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Valid Consensus

Here is the review in question

Please help us reach a valid consensus on the Rolling Stone section of Indestructible's talk page. This user is, frankly, not willing to give this up, at all, the argument about whether the review by The Rolling Stone belongs in the article or not. The argument first started as me finding reasons for it to stay, but after you sent me a couple links, he is now trying to twist those a little, such as trying to make it seem as though reviews should be factual-based, and not opinion. I don't know, I think this review should stay here because it's listed in section of reliable reviews for Wikipedia, it meets the criteria for being a reliable source (although, it did get one fact wrong, but I already stated, reviews are supposed to be opinion), and it passes the album review section as well.

Now his argument is quite different. He says that, because the review is written unprofessionally (it takes a few personal cuts at the band), it should be taken down. He also says that one sentence from the reliable sources section insinuates this as well. Here is that sentence: "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy," and he says that the one fact that the review got wrong makes it fail those standards. He also states that, because of the way this sentence in the WP:Album is worded (Sentence is: "When choosing which reviews to include, consider the notability of the review source and keeping a neutral point of view."), it insinuates that notability is not important in choosing reviews, that it's simply another thing to consider, but not important.

I admit he forms a nice argument, but, surely, as this is reviewer is listed in the list of reliable reviewers, that should dispel the insinuations that it is unreliable.

I don't want you to run in and support me, off the bat. I want you to run in, read the comments previously made, and from those, form your own opinion, and then comment. Here's the page again. dude527 (talk) 12:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I suggest getting your userpage semi-protected. I looked at your page history and it said that an IP was the one who messed it up. If you do that non users won't be able to edit your page. That should stop some of the vandalism. On the other hand, I think it's kind of stupid how that IP user calls himself Mr.Vandal. That's just idiotic.

A Bit Short on Time

Hello J.delanoy. I'm a bit short on time recently and do not think I would be able to nominate you for adminship. However, if you wish to wait for me to be your nominator, I may become active again in September and October. Hope you are enjoying your summer!¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 16:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Ha! I just came here to say that I've noticed your edits and think you're just about ready to go for RfA. I'd be willing to nominate you if you threw yourself into a bout of XfD work. If you're interested, I'll explain what I'm suggesting. --Dweller (talk) 21:19, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I had a brief look through your contribs and you look a good candidate. Your XfD work is weak, especially recently, and people will want to see evidence of this. I also want a bit more time digging in your contrib history to see if there's anything more you need (RfA is tough enough without going into it recklessly!). My suggestion currently is that I would nom you in the early days of August, if you've made an average of say 4 or 5 good (ie not "delete as nom" etc!) XfD contribs most days. To make it even stronger, I suggest you try to find new debates and aim to be the first contributor other than the nominator. Or find ones that are contentious and will be tricky for admins to call when it comes time to close them. Watchlist and return to the debates, and demonstrate your adminlike qualities - firmness, good debating, willingness to accept a good argument, politeness etc. The point is to help RfA !voters decide you're a good/bad candidate on the basis of actual recent work, rather than hunch. I might suggest some other things once I've dug into your contribs, so watch this space, but my first look was extremely promising, hence my original message. --Dweller (talk) 06:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

NB I don't mean non admin closures of AfDs. While it's good that you've done some of these, they won't have helped that much, because non admins are only supposed to do non contentious closes. --Dweller (talk) 12:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

And another task for you. I've begun really trawling your contrib history. It's clear that you're not really a content contributor, but more a vandal whacker. That's fine. The days when admins were required to have written an FA are long gone. However, I think it'd be good for you to be able to demonstrate that you understand what articles should be like in a positive manner, not just the negative (ie deletion process). A good way to do this is by chipping in at Peer Review. Have you spent much time at those pages? Have a look through some well developed reviews and let me know when you're ready for the next steps! --Dweller (talk) 12:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

A thought-provoking and refreshingly honest reply. I'll ponder it. --Dweller (talk) 14:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, here's where I see it. I suggested doing some AfD and PR work, not to kid anyone that you're anything that you're not, but so people could be assured that you understand deletion process and (because you're not a content editor) encyclopedia work respectively. However, your response is admirable. If anything, I'm more convinced of your suitability for adminship for your reply. I think you'll probably incur some objections that you may not have done if you'd gone with my suggestion, but, goodness, I would hope that your splendid reply should earn you plenty of support. Not least for convincingly demonstrating that you're not "power-hungry"!

I've not really seen how your interactions with others are, as they're swamped with automated messages. If you've been level-headed, civil and communicative with others for at least the last good few months, I'm prepared to nominate you on Monday. --Dweller (talk) 15:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Yin and Yang? Lol. I was perusing WP:ER and spotted your name. I recalled a non admin closure you'd made of an AFD. So I started looking into you further, headed over here and was pleased to see that you were interested in becoming an admin. And yes, I'm English. I'll nominate you on Monday (my editing from Friday-Sunday inclusive is often patchy, usually non existent). Thanks for agreeing to go through with what is sometimes an unpleasant experience. You seem to have the right attitude and that's worth a bunch. --Dweller (talk) 15:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Nomination for adminship

You have two new questions. Rudget (logs) 16:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

• Hi, J (? I don't know what to call you), I left a fairly rude message on your RfA that implied that your contributions here were not wanted which on reflection (and after being called on it, obviously) was a pretty nasty thing to say considering their volume and quality, and your obvious dedication to cleaning up the place. So hopefully you'll accept my apologies? Insofar as the opinion of a complete stranger on the (lack of) worthiness of your participation is relevant, I ~in no way~ think that you are not valued or needed here. Cheers, Naerii 02:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi J. Delanoy, I felt the nagging compulsion to drop you a note after I read your comment at your RfA's talk page : ) I hope you understand the rationale behind my oppose, and that it is absolutely not a reflection of you as an editor. In fact, you're work is valued, and your anti-vandalism is tenacious and impressive. However, I just feel uncomfortable supporting give my criteria. Cheers mate. And good luck with the RfA.

Barnstar

		Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar
		I was waiting for your RfA to turn up, because I have seen you around this encyclopedia all over the place, and you have done such a lot for this project. And we have a lot in common; when I was ran for RfA, I was primarily a vandal-fighter, and as for age, I wasn't then 18 either. In recognition of your fantastic work here, I feel you deserve this barnstar, as well as my support for your RfA. Very best wishes, Lradrama 11:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

You're very welcome. I don't think it matters whether an admin is 18 or not, that's not what is important. What is important is how mature they are on the inside, which, after all the time I have spent with you on this project, is something you definately are. And you would clearly benefit from using the tools. Regards, Lradrama 14:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

My oppose

That was actually only one reason. I will change it for you, but it will still be an oppose (albeit a weak one). I do so hope you do not take this as an attack on you personally, it's just that I have an unwritten criteria.  Asenine  23:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey J, the RfA is looking good! Your prod of this should have been a speedy tag. See the deletion log for why I went ahead and deleted it. You might want to amend the message left to the user who created it so that they do not become confused. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 01:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

{{db|Article is a poorly written copy of an existing article}} or {{g6}} would have worked, especially if you had added a specific deletion reason such as the one I used. And you are welcome. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank god you said "I kid I kid" I was about to come here and treat you like a complete n00b as well as rescind my support at your RfA, citing this, which would have been a shit storm like few others! Do I kid? :P KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Wanna laugh then read that! this :D KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Question about something entirely not Wiki

Hello, Person Who Knows Stuff®. Do you by any chance know how to tell somebody who doesn't Know Stuff how to clear out all the automatic fill-in edit summaries and whatnot? I know this is on my local computer, but I don't know where to go to wipe it. I hate to lose my useful edit summaries, but it'll be worth it to lose the "one time use only" ones. If it matters, I use Mozilla. And if this falls into the category of Stuff You Don't Know®, please don't sweat it. I'm not asking you to research it for me. I just figured if you happened to know off the top of your head, you could save me some time. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

• Tools -> Clear Private Data -> Make sure only "Saved Form and Search History" is checked. Yes I am so bored I answer questions posed to other people on talk pages I have watchlisted - sue me :( naerii 13:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather thank you! Thank you, Other Person Who Knows Stuff®! :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Japanese categories

Many thanks for doing this. A shame our friend the creator didn't listen to the first request to change it 300 articles ago ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Just saw that you finished, J.d, terrific! Does AWD do text changes also? Most of the articles that you just re-catted say "connecting between" instead of just "connecting". Does AWB do that? See also User talk:RushdimIDlike#Mistakes. Keeper ǀ 76 20:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

SUper stuff. I'll give you a bell in the future if I need anything. The only thing I can think of offhand is that the articles in Category:British films need the {{CinemaoftheUK}} template adding to the foot of the page to connect the years in film and articles all together. It isn't urgent but it will need doing gradually. It could probably be done by AWB ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA

Well, it looks set fair, so I don't feel too guilty about sailing off into the sunset and leaving you to your fate. I look forward to shaking your en-broomed hand on my return. Well done. --Dweller (talk) 13:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Good luck!

Hello, J.delanoy. I'm just here to wish you good luck on your RfA. I'm very positive that it will turn out successful. Anyways, good luck! SchfiftyThree 22:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

You're a sysop!

Hi, J.delanoy, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

 Doing....... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 13:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Let me add my congrats, I'm sure you will do an excellent job as an admin. Feel free to drop me a note if you need any questions answered. Best, Gwernol 13:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
