Spam whitelist

Did you mean to add this to the blacklist, rather than the whitelist? Stifle (talk) 10:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Not positive that I did it right (I haven't used the whitelist that much), but my intention was to keep the subject and his minions from spamming other articles with links to his site and blog, but allow the article on the subject to retain the links. I also added both links to the blacklist. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Possible IP glitch or something

Hey, I was browsing Wikipedia and received a link telling me that my test had been reverted or something. Thing is, there's nothing telling me exactly what happened, and I don't recall doing any tests. I sometimes correct typos and ask questions on the discussion pages, but I'm not sure exactly what I did that needed reversion. Either there's some obscure editing rule that I broke (that I'd like to know to avoid the issue in the future), or something happened that mixed up my IP with someone else's. Below is the message transcript, which directed me to your talk page.

User talk:71.178.152.14 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Difference between revisions) Ohnoitsjamie (talk | contribs) (test 1) Current revision as of 16:50, 19 June 2007

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

So could you clear this up for me? Thanks. TVTMaster (talk) 16:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Several years ago, someone made a silly edit from your IP, that's all. IP addresses are sometimes shared or transferred. Nothing for you to worry about, as long as you log into your named account (TVTMaster), you won't be blamed for the misdeeds of others that might use that IP. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Tao Lin spammer

i feel like something should be done administratively at this point. this person has made enough attempts to promote/spam, with edit warring included. on another note, when there is a lot of spam for something, there is often the lack of notability. i am not sure if this is the case here, exactly. do you think any of the articles involved in Tao Lin could be afd'd? e.g. Eeeee_Eee_Eeee Theserialcomma (talk) 02:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I think a strong argument could be made that his books don't need separate articles; they could easily be covered in the Tao Lin article and aren't particular notable by themselves. As for the promotional campaign, I'll just keep blocking them as I see them. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

they are back, evading the block.[[2]] also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive-Behavioral_Therapy_%28book%29 was supposed to be merged a year ago, but it never happened. i am not sure how to do it. is that an administrative function? can we be bold and just merge all the obvious candidates from this point forward? Theserialcomma (talk) 22:29, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Definition Links

You have asked me not to leave external links to dictionary definitions, even though Wiki has 1000's. I am well aware of all Wiki policies. A dictionary definition obviously adds to'enhances any article, especially for non-native speakers of English that may have an idea of what the subject is about but would undoubtably appreciate a link to the definition. Obviously there would be no point in linking to a untrustworthy definition agregator, so the best thing is a completely free dictionary of note. It is just the two particular subjects you mentioned that you have the problem with? Shane rae (talk) 15:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

The links are unnecessary. They don't add anything to the articles in question. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Jamie. I think I have clarity here. You are saying to stay away from Google and MTV with dictionary definitions. Message received. Shane rae (talk) 15:44, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Edits

I wasn't finished editing the Attack Attack! page, yet you removed my edit 10 seconds after I posted it. The information entered was accurate. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 21:13, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Add it again (or anything else about "crabcore") and you will be blocked. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:13, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Why? The lead singer says that he is pioneering the genre... It is completely relavent and 100% in accordance with wikipedia's policies. Give a legitament reason to remove the content, or I will contest your removal of the information as biased on your part. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 21:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

He didn't say he was pioneering a genre. It's clear that they are simply embracing the joke. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:54, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

It is not "clear" that it's a joke as you say. It is a distinctive style that the band has adopted from an original joke. The singer even says they are making shirts. How more clear can you get? Here is another interview for your reading pleasure, where all of the band was interviewed: http://www.drivenfaroff.com/2009/07/09/attack-attack-interview/ 205.133.193.182 (talk) 02:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

That interview makes it even more clear that it's a joke. It's not a musical genre. It's simply a mockery of their stage antics which they've chosen to embrace rather than get defensive about. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

You're interpreting it to fit your opinion. If you walked up to this band and asked if they were crabcore, they would undoubtedly say they are, and that is all that matters. The public decides what genre a band fits into in the end, but in this case both the public and the band support their label as crabcore. If you really wanted to do constructive editing you would tell whoever is putting they are a Christian band in the genre section to stop, because they clearly are not Christian. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 02:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

The "Christian" revert was a mistake on my part. I read the diff wrong (I thought I was removing the label). As far as "crabcore" goes, there is no such genre as crabcore. It's a joke. The page is on my watchlist because I watched the funny mock videos of it like everyone else. Popular Internet memes invariably result in people trying to add crap about the meme/joke to Wikipedia. If you or others continue to do this on the article, you'll be blocked. Period. Nothing further to say. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh well, maybe in a year or two things will change. Thanks anyways. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 02:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

PROD

Re this prod, I pretty much agree the article doesn't belong but alas, there is precedent for it to remain. For example List of Catholic authors, List of Protestant authors, List of Jewish authors, List of Jewish actors, List of Muslim Actors, List of Buddhist writers, List of Christian mystics, List of Jains ...the list of lists goes on...  Frank  |  talk  00:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I see your point....so I'd probably have to nominate all of them for afd. Well, you could argue a difference between authors and actors, in that faith is more likely to impact a writer's craft than an actor's craft. I'll have to mull that one over. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I understand your point of view but how else would some body legitimately find out about interviews conducted. I'm just trying to provide information. and we are a non profit anyways we really don't have any interest except for providing information to the public.

Defrain77 (talk) 23:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

...and they were not a single purpose account who's primary purpose was to canvass the links. I.e., such links are fine if they are added by established editors for a source. It's not OK to mass-canvass links as part of a promotional campaign. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

How could i get in contact with an established editor to do this for me.

Defrain77 (talk) 23:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

You don't seem to get it; that's not how it works. I mean established editors adding one more link in the course of regular editing, not going on some kind of campaign to add as many links as possible. We don't allow link canvassing, period. I don't know how many others ways there are to explain that. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry that you have to explain this i don't have quite the knowledge you do. sorry for taking up your time. if you do ever have some time maybe you should look into adding some of these links because they are quite informative.

Removal of PROD from List of Catholic Actors/Actresses

It was removed by DGG with the following edit summary '(Deprodded: Categories and lists are complementary, and there is no reason not to have both.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with DGG before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to take part in the article's current AfD.

Zelda Wiki.org

As an admin on another wiki I'll say that there was no grounds for speedy deletion of that article it had one third party source from a publication. And an award from a site listed. That made it ineligible for the grounds upon which it was deleted. And from my understanding it could only have been deleted from a normal deletion process. Yes I know where I come from and I warned them of this. But I looked up the reasons specified in the deletion log and they are not even valid in that case. I long have viewed speed deleting without really looking at the page as bad.Matt (talk) 03:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Girlofsummer edits

Hi - just a suggestion, (and without trying to second guess you). If it does come to blocking girlofsummer, can I suggest a fairly short block? I get the feeling she genuinely doesn't understand how things work, and a temporary block might actually make her start looking at the messages she's getting. The material she's putting in, although unsourced and POVish, is hardly inflammatory, which makes me think she simply doesn't know how things work here. Her other edits are similar - no ill intent seems to be there.VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 14:52, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Warn differences

Heya, I was wondering what the difference is between using "bv" and "uw-vandalism#"? When certain reverting and reporting tools such as Huggle see a "bv", how do they treat it in the subsequent warnings? A "bv" template seems to be more strongly worded and better suited for blaitant vandalism, and I think I may start using it myself. Just curious if it would be beneficial or detrimental to those that warned the same user with a tool/add-on. Thanks Gpia7r (talk) 18:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure about how Huggle and bots handle it; I'd have to look into it. It's not listed in warning templates page, so it may not be understood by bots or Huggle. (I believe uw-vand4im could be used in a similar fashion, and that one is listed on the aforementioned guide). Though the wording of the template has changed over time, it's usually pretty similar to uw-vand3. I use it to nip obvious vandals in the bud faster....no need to go through 4 warning levels when someone is clearly "on a roll." I also use it for sneaky vandalism (misleading edit summaries and whatnot). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Launch Dynamic Media page

Hey Jamie -

Launch Dynamic Media is a very small digital studio, but the services are the same as those offered by the very largest agencies, which have Wikipedia pages. For example - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razorfish_(company) is one of countless like agencies that have pages. Launch built the first digital wayfinding system of its kind for the Smithsonian which, in my estimation, makes it a notable organization. It simply seems wrong that the largest agencies can have a presence on Wikipedia while the very smallest can not. I would appreciate any additional input you may have.

Clayster

Dear Jamie,

I don't understand why banned my Article about Clayster?

If you read about for example Google Android or Skype do their articles contain the same content/inforation as I wrote in ours.

I believe it's impossible to write something about a company with promoting it, since explaining what we does in is kind of promotion.

Not even the when I toke away everything beside what Clayster is (Clayster - Interactive Service Delivery Platform) were it OK?

ex from Google Android. Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.

Hi I was correcting an incorrect category 'companies disestablished' at the bottom of the PhotoBox page and introducing links as advised by the message at the top of the page (it is an orphan). These have been removed. - Photobox is very much in existence and is not disestablished as you contend. You will see the website is very much up and running. - It is Europe's main photo gifts etailer hence the category. - They are a leading photo sharing brand here as important as flickr in the UK hence the reference. I had assumed wiki was an international site not just US focused? Given everyone else is in Photo_sharing#Online_photo_sharing_websites shouldn't you list all competitors?

Dang, I was hoping no one noticed the self-block. I'd just gotten back from a 4 mile run and apparently wasn't thinking clearly. Thank goodness I was able to unblock myself, would've been rather embarrassing to have to use the unblock template. I see what you mean about my false-positive warning, but his reaction (to myself and others) clearly warranted a time-out. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Kapok Guitar

Hi. I had been thinking about that page as maybe a disambig page for two separate articles on similarly-named companies in China and Thailand. Is there enough notability from reliable sources to support that? If so, would you please userfy it? Thanks.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Userfied. I also noticed that the advert had overwritten an article that had been there since 2006 describing a Malaysian brand as well as noting that the term was also used generically for any guitar made from Kapok wood. Not sure if the Chinese company is notable enough to mention. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I think this brand is very notable in China at least in mainland area. It almost the only guitar brand in china before 1979, though it is not as much popular as then. 14:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

So where's the evidence of notability? (I.e., WP:Reliable sources). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

First of all, Thank you for your warning in my talk page.
There would be full of EVIDENCES If you search the keyword '红棉吉他' in the chinese edition Google. lol. But i bet you won't do that,right? so there are link below:
http://www.guitarchina.com/news/news/02/20041120/164420.htm
http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E7%BA%A2%E6%A3%89%E5%90%89%E4%BB%96
Maybe you can not read it coz it's all in Chinese. but it doesn't matter. you can use the google translate it then you probably aware of how notable it was.
At the same times. I wonder why you'd like to maintain a old-wrong page about the kapok guitar in malay? no link, no evidence... nothing at all
Finally, if there is a brand named Kapok in Malay or Thailand or anywhere out of PRC, please give me an EVIDENCE. If so, I suggest start a new page like Kapok (Chinese company) etc. TKS Hans 9:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC+8)

I tried to cut you a break by including info from the old article as well as mentioning the Chinese company (proof that a company exists does not prove that it's notable). If that's not good enough for you, I'll send the whole article to WP:AFD for lack of notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:34, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Did you read the link which I send u before??? I would be pretty upset if the answer is negative(it mostly is true), coz it prove that you don't care about whether it's notable or not. so, I'd like you send the article to WP:AFD anyway. btw, let me know if the brand do exist in malaysia. you didn't give any evidence for it,yet. Hans 15:41, 17 October 2009 (UTC+8)

Evidence of existence is not the same as notability. Article has been sent to AFD. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:57, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Fist of all,those links I send you is the evidence can prove that it is notable, not only for existence! second, could you give me the evidence for malaysia Kapok while you continuously insist the malaysia kapok is not a advert and recover it time and times again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slyhans (talk • contribs) 06:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm done discussing the issue here. You can take your arguments to the AFD for Kapok Guitars. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I have nothing to say for your indifference. I can hardly convice myself about the truth that you are a Wikipedian. anyway, I'd like to see you close this talk here. Sorry if any word inappropriate.talk —Preceding undated comment added 02:11, 21 October 2009 (UTC).

Inappropriate block warning?

[3] for posting [4]

I assume I'm missing something, but that block warning seemed _way_ out of proportion. Could you explain? Hobit (talk) 02:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

The diffs you provided don't tell me anything. You'll need to be more specific. I gave this user a warning awhile back for being incivil, and have not communicated with them since. I stand by the original warning. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I was unclear. It looks like you issued a final civility warning for commenting on the fact that your username isn't grammatically correct. At least that's what the link you provided on his page in the context of the warning indicates to me. Did I miss something? Hobit (talk) 05:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Why do you removed my links?

I found that you have removed the references I added, which leads to my website. What made you to remove those links of my website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.78.222 (talk) 08:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I'd appreciate another set of eyes on this page. User:Jky52 has been repeatedly been deleting sourced, but negative info about the Barbaro family.

Hi, I'm sure you know all the fuss about the rumors of who is going to be the new lead singer for the band, as repeated IPs continue to add unsourced and unreliable information.

Robert Jenkin

Understand why you took the comment off, but it is true. So I've gone to the press again with the latest info regarding the police investigation, when it's published on line in a respectable tabloid paper then I'll re-insert the comment with the external link to prove it's true.

Apologies if I casme across as a vandal. I'm trying to stop this man from conning people, but I know you require concrete evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cedarheights (talk • contribs) 22:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Down with Webster

Recommend undelete as this band's Hall & Oates cover "Rich Girl$" has debuted on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 at #47 for the week of 24 Oct 2009 and accordingly satisfies WP:BAND notability criteria, specifically "Has had a charted single or album on any national music chart".

Hello? Do you have anything to say? I've asked you to apply Wikimedia policy, policy that has been generated by community consensus, as politely and as respectfully as I know how. As someone elected to an administrator position do you not feel you have any responsibility at all to communicate with the wikimedia community with respect to your decisions?Bdell555 (talk) 06:52, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Relax, I've been busy with a lot of other stuff. If there was a high need for immediate restoration of the article, you could've posted it to WP:Deletion review. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:30, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I reckoned that if you had the time to respond to someone else on this page you had the time to respond to other queries. People were complaining: "can't find anything on them on Wikipedia." WP:Deletion review states that "Deletion Review is to be used where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question. This should be attempted first – courteously invite the admin to take a second look.".Bdell555 (talk) 09:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

USER IP

A user vandalized a page on Wikipedia last year. The user's name is "Ronalxraygun". How might I get the IP address for that name. I know when a user posts anonymously, their IP is logged but in this case a user name was created and I cannot see the IP address. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.105.26.60 (talk) 16:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

We don't reveal IP addresses of users. We will block users for repeated vandalism or personal attacks. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:04, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

REMOVAL NOMINATION

Hi OhNoItsJamie. Having seen the zeal with which you and a couple of others chase down the possibly-not-notable, I suggest for your inspection the lesser musical references in the popular culture subsection of the Hindenburg airship's article. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster#Popular_culture the Zepplin album of course is notable, but the other bands seem like self-promotion by tiny entities.

Slightly confused about the deletion of Dying Scene sources

Hey Jamie, you recently deleted most (if not all) the external sourcing links to DyingScene.com. I run the website and ask that my editors update wikipedia pages ONLY if what they've published is not already on a wikipedia page AND it is factual and relevant. They all have access to this wikipedia account and unfortunately I can't monitor all the links they create. I tried to check on a few that I knew about (Craig Owens leaving Chiodos on the Chiodos page, and Deryck Whibley splitting from Avril on the Whibley page) and it looks like you deleted the reference link, though you kept the actual content in the article. I definitely want to make sure we stay compliant with Wikipedia's rules and was wondering if you could let me know which rule or rules were violated. Our site is only 4 months old, so is it that we are not viewed as a credible source yet? Did we violate something on another page, which caused all our links to be deleted, or is it just that we are sourcing our own website in the articles, in which case, if we wanted to update a page with information we published should we just not source the info at all? I'm pretty passionate about the punk music scene, and I've enjoyed being the first person to update a wikipedia page with new info on the few that I've done personally so please let me know what I can do differently to keep me (and my editors) compliant. Thanks.

Sort of new to Wikipedia Talk pages - hope this shows up in the right place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DyingSceneMusic (talk • contribs) 23:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

See WP:SPAM and coflict of interest policies. You can't come to Wikipedia and canvass links to your site. If you or anyone continues to do so, that site will be blacklisted. (Incidentally, most of the info I saw added with your site links were news updates that were probably available on the bands website). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Artist's Page?

Hi Jamie,

I saw that you've put a page that I edited up for deletion. I'm quite perturbed by this, as I do PR for that actor/filmmaker and would like to have this page remain active. How can you claim that there are 'no major roles' in a 'notable production'? That is a matter of opinion. There are several films, both independently produced as well as studio produced, available for purchase in major chains like Blockbuster, as well as on the internet, not to mention, several television shows he has appeared on. Please remove information you cannot verify, but do not delete the page. Where does it say in the Wikipedia rules that a person has to be a major superstar with "major roles" to be listed? If you follow your proposed guidelines for deletion, literally half the artists on Wikipedia should be deleted. Perhaps I have worded something incorrectly or placed incorrect sources as I'm relatively new to this, but I do not think the page should be deleted. Please explain your rationale further, or edit the article to meet your requirements and please remove it from the deletion queue. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nevpan (talk • contribs) 02:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

You are free to present your rationale for keeping the article at the afd discussion. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 06:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

• Comment – I have a discussion going on that page, please reference it. But what I came up with is the following: I have a suggestion for a total revision of this article that I believe will qualify based on aforementioned discussion, please let me know if this will work. I would like to suggest that the article remain listed based on the fact of the actor's appearance in the television series 'Battles B.C.'. He starred in an episode as Pharaoh Ramses II, qualifying him as notable AND significant and this fact can remain linked to the Ramses II article where the film/TV portrayals are listed. And since there are very few portrayals of Ramses II listed in history of film/tv, this is a significant fact that should be listed on Wikipedia. In addition, there are 4 other distributed films, 'Didgori: Land of Sacrificed Knights', 'Whitewall', 'Last Exit', and '10,000 A.D.: Legend of a Black Pearl' in which the actor has significant credits, which I believe would qualify him as notable, given the current criteria for "notability". All other unverifiable biographical information can be deleted. Thoughts?--Nevpan (talk) 07:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

This is not the place to discuss this (and the arguments about your notability are unconvincing, for that matter). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
