UST Global at WP:COIN

Thanks. I've removed my initial comment just so Google doesn't index his personal details. Thomjakobsen 21:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for keeping me informed about Killercop.com. While I would have continued working on it I completely understand the reasons for its deletion. &mdash;Noah 21:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

RfA?
Rfa? Rfa???? So THAT'S how it's done!!! Dude, I've been trying to find out out to become ad admin for over a YEAR!!! I've been asking everyone I can how it's done, I got a pretty good Editor Review just over a year ago, etc. I tried asking Newyorkbrad and Mindspillage how to go about becoming an admin, since I met them at the Wiknic, but I never got a reply from either of them! And now, out of the blue, you drop into my lap the info I've been waiting for! Thanks! Would you mind nominating me? Nightscream 02:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC) copied by Bearian&#39;sBooties 15:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * ???? I nominated myself two years ago?  When did this happen??? I don't recall ever doing this.  I recall asking about how people become administrators, but I'm positive I've never nominated myself.  And in any case, doesn't the RfA page say that people can nominate themselves?  Why would this have caused your attempted nomination of me to fail?  What exactly happened? Nightscream 19:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh wow, I just found that page from July 2005. It was so long ago, I totally forgot it until I read the top portion where I apparently nominated myself.  I didn't even know anything about answering candidate questions, as no one notified me about that.  But why would this affect someone else's nomination of me more than two years later? Nightscream 20:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I accepted the nomination, and answered the three questions. Thanks again. Nightscream 06:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I won't do that. I don't vote for myself even in situations where it's permissable. (When I was up for Class Artist back in high school, I nominated and voted for one of my best friends, and he in turn nominated and voted for me.) Nightscream 18:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay. Thanks again. Nightscream 05:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for everything. I hope to make you guys proud. :-) Nightscream 15:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel  Review Me! 02:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
 Thank you for supporting me in my recent RFA which unfortunately did not pass at (47/23/5). I will be sure to improve my editing skills and wait till someone nominates me next time. Have a great day(or night)! -- Hdt 83     Chat 05:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Henrik's RfA thanks!
Thanks for supporting my RfA, it closed today with a final tally of 39 supports, 1 oppose and 1 neutral. As always, if you ever see me doing anything which would cause you to regret giving me your support, let me know. henrik •talk  18:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Re. Co-nom?
Hello Bearian. I am sorry, but I only nominate (or co-nominate) users whom I've been screening for some time. But thank you for your invitation. I shall participate in this RfA once it is launched. Best regards, Hús  ö  nd  23:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Bearian, i need your help to resolve this issue
Please find below my request to EdJohnston dated 6-Nov

Dear EdJohnston,


 * Please find UST Global leadership team in the link http://www.ust-global.com/leadership.aspx
 * Do you really want to have external links that have outdated/wrong info about an article in Wikipedia? Wiki is an Encyclopedia which is most popular in the world and widely used for collecting accurate information about anything under the sun. Anyway Business Week has updated the content to the actual facts about the leadership team of UST Global. FYI the link to the same http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=4298931. I think now you might have understood why I was removing this link before, when it was carrying outdated information.


 * Can I ask you to check few pages in Wikipedia itself regarding UST Global content and find what i am trying to say here? This is very important. Could you please check the link http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UST_Global&limit=500&action=history.

This link takes you to the earliest revision history page of UST Global. Please find when this page was initially drafted and when did the user Steve Ross started editing the page. This wikipedia page was started in 2005 and Steve came in to picture by 2007. The most interesting thing here you can find is the first few edits by Steve Ross. He added himself as co-founder of UST where right now he wants to mention himself as founder of the company. Don’t you find that this user is inconsistent with his edits and this proves that his intention is to advertise himslef? Also could you please check whether this user has contributed anything else in this Wiki page other than adding his name in different roles of UST Global?

All you want to know about UST Global is available in their website (www.ust-global.com). Also I want to repeat here that I am not here to violate any rules or policies of Wikipedia. I just want to point out the anomalies in this Wiki page. Could you please listen to my request. This is genuine.

Chella123 05:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not ignoring you
I'm trying to fix it, but (1) my internet connection sucks at the moment, and long files are hard, and (b) something is very weird, usually it's a simple cut and paste but it's formatted all weird this time. I'm working on it, of you or someone fixes it first then all's well, otherwise, please hold on. --barneca (talk) 14:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * done. --barneca (talk) 14:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is not looking good, and i would be honored to be nominated by you in 3 months or so. Thank you! Tiptoety 14:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

"equal numbers of keeps, deletes, and comments"
11 deletes, 5 keeps - the rest with no or insignificant contributions or obvious socks. That's possibly still a no-consensus, but hardly "equal".--Docg 17:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Michael Shermer
There is a Personal life section that shows up in the Edit window of this article, but the section heading does not show up in the article once saved. I've never encountered this phenomena before, and it's really weird. Any ideas? Thanks. Nightscream 20:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Nightscream 03:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for the star. My second one for an administrative action. If only all the posts to my talk page about blocks and deletions were like this. Mr.  Z- man  20:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
I'm brand-new to AfD, but Dalan seemed a pretty clear WP:SNOW delete. Thanks for the compliment! K. Scott Bailey 20:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - UST Global
Dear Bearian,

Thank you very much for the timely help in resolving the issue. EdJohnston has removed the pointless contents from the UST Global Wiki page. I think that this issue has been settled for the time being, but incase if I need your help on this in future, I will definitely let you know.

To support my argument I can point several instances from Wikipedia itself that the user Stephen Ross is confused about the edits that he has made in UST Wiki page as well as some other related Wiki pages. I have tracked several instances where he has deliberately attacked one company which is UST Global.

 Thank you for supporting me in my recent RFA which did not pass at (18/27/10). I will be sure to improve my editing skills and wait until someone nominates me next time. I would like to specially thank you for your comments, and offer to nominate me in the future! Thank you for you comments! Tiptoety 00:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RfA
 Thanks for voting at my RfA. Unfortunately, the result stands at 51 support, 21 oppose and 7 neutral which means that I did not succeed. As many expressed their appreciation of my works in featured portals during my RfA, I will fill up the vacuum position of director in featured portal candidates to maintain the standards of featured contents in addition to my active role in Good articles. Have a great day. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for using my userbox to show your support for environmental protection.

Why did you eliminate a cite to this:

Your Question
On my recent Rfa you asked me how have I improved since my last Rfa. Though my Rfa is now over, I feel obliged to answer your question. In my last Rfa there was 2 major concerns:civility and edit warring. Since then I have stopped bitting newbies, and I have not said anything uncivil. I do not want to be a uncivil editor because that has a terrible effect on the community. I love the idea of wikipedia, and I want to help it, not hurt it. I have stopped edit warring as well. I have learned to stay away from wikipedia when under RL stress. When stressed you are more apt to act stupidly. Have a nice day:)--SJP:Happy Verterans Day! 22:30, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

My Next Rfa
Hey:) Adminship is not a big deal, so I can wait. I'm going to wait until June to try again. Cheers!--SJP:Happy Verterans Day! 15:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Peeps, it's that time of the month again (no not that time &mdash; get your mind out of the gutter): time for another monthly edition of the LGBT Project's Love Boat newsletter from your cruise director Miss Julie. So much has been happening this month and I just can't wait to tell you all about it!!!

{| style="font-size: 90%;"
 * valign="top" |
 * valign="top" |

Alice and her harasser
Let's start with some good news: Alice and the project lost the bothersome sock puppet who had been disrupting many articles we monitor, and now most of us can edit in relative peace. Congratulations, Alice, for being able to come out of semi-retirement. Benjiboi, on the other hand, has gained an anonymous IP stalker who seems to be more Catholic than the Pope and who has a hard-on for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. We seem to have a sort of Yin and Yang thing going on here, which helps both to keep us in balance and on our toes.

Harry Potter and his homosexual teacher
Albus Dumbledore got outed this month, and was immediately adopted by our project. The international brouhaha surrounding this disclosure reached all the way to Wikiland, and his article was briefly locked due to homophobic vandalism (as well as well meaning editors who just couldn't believe that that nice man could possibly be gay). This is a wonderful article to add to your watchlist, and will surely give you hours of reverting fun on cold winter days.

"My Fellow Americans"
On a more serious note, Fireplace has suggested a new article series about LGBT rights in the United States, state by state. This ambitious topic will surely require many editors and a lot of research, but has the potential to add further prestige to our already prestigious project.

Same name, same sexuality: a riddle for the ages
Francis Bacon (not the new gay one, but the old gay one ... though they're actually both dead, now that I think about it) has also aroused passions here on Wikipedia, with editors opposing his sexuality being disclosed in his biography. The always helpful Haiduc has thoughtfully provided any number of sources, but it is slow going getting his point across. Anyone want to lend a hand?

Beat writer arouses Irish guy
And speaking of passions, Jack Kerouac has inflamed the senses once again with editors, including administrator Irishguy, mounting a spirited defense to keep him as heterosexual as possible for Wikipedia purposes. Why? I don't know. Perhaps some of you can drop by the talk page and ask your questions there. I feel certain a stimulating debate will ensue that will be enjoyed by all.

Love those Texas Longhorns
Did you know that one of our Featured articles, Lawrence v. Texas, lost its shiny gold star? That was a shocker. It has been suggested that we turn our attention to it in an effort to restore it to its former glory. I took a peek, and it does need our help badly. For our American editors, it would seem almost a civic duty to edit it (not that I'm hinting....).

Point and Counterpoint
Though it was far too intellectual a debate for a mere cruise director like myself to take part in, Intersexuality was certainly a hot topic a week or two ago. The thrust of the debate was over inclusion in our project. Lots of good editors had lots of good opinions. For those too lazy to check out the discussion, we decided to leave it out for now.

Drudgery on offer
Peer review is, as always, short staffed and seemingly unloved. Wouldn't you feel better about yourself and the world in general if you took a few minutes to read one of the listed articles and offer some helpful advice? I know I'd feel better if you did.
 * valign="top" |

"My Fellow Americans" redux
The article LGBT movements in the United States certainly raised eyebrows last week, especially when it was discovered that copyrighted content had been added to our article. Tragedy was averted at the last minute, though, when the original hosts of the article where the material had been pilfered agreed to make it free to everyone. Our thanks to them, whoever they are. Busy Bee that I am, I haven't had time to read it, but I'm sure it's sensational.

This month's Wiki stars
Lesbian pulp fiction (a genre close to my heart, I must confess) writer Ann Bannon has decided to spice up the featured articles candidates list this month. Why not drop by and make your opinion heard? Joining her in this lofty aspiration are the articles But I'm a Cheerleader and Conversion therapy. I'm sure their main editors would welcome any comments (well, helpful ones, anyway) on the talk pages or the FAC discussions. And lest we forget, the List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sd-Si became a Featured list!! Rah rah, siskumbah! Go, team, GO!!!!

And the Oscar goes to...
Not content to run for Best Actress, plucky Bannon won a Best supporting actress Oscar... whoops, I meant to say Ann is also getting more than her share of womanly attention on the Good Article list. Joining her on this exalted plane are Freddy Mercury, Waylon Smithers and Lance Bass. Good articles indeed, and the last one mentioned just goes to show that one needn't admire the subject of an article to appreciate the effort put into making him worthwhile reading. What on earth Britney ever saw in him I'll never know. Truly a riddle cloaked in an enigma and wrapped around a puzzle.

Fresh faces to brighten our pages
Though I may not be the first, let me extend a warm, LGBT Love Boat welcome to the 12 new members who joined us in October: Jliberty, JockCub360, ChristopherEdwards, Desiderius82, Zlrussell, Kelsied, BeardedWoof, Mujerado, Tyrfing, Fabgurrl, Redl@nds597198, and decafdyke! Whatever you choose to do here, I feel sure that your contributions will enhance our project to no end. And if they don't...well, let's just say that I'm not shy.

Leather and lace
On a personal note, your already overworked cruise director is being cyberly whipped almost daily by Nemissimo, who desperately wants to get the German BDSM translation copy edited and used as a replacement for the current one. It's such a ... err, stimulating topic that I am sure many of you will want to join the copy editing fun. Jump right in, folks! It's so lonely copy editing it all by my lonesome!

Late breaking news
A little birdie just whispered in my ear that our noble collaboration project was delisted from the Community Portal due to inactivity. When asked how this scandalous turn of events could have occurred, the answer I received was "we suck at stuff like that". Well. In the first place, I disagree that sucking should be considered a negative, but to each his or her own. In the second place, I have full confidence that we can and will collaborate with other projects in the future. So let's not view this as a setback (even though it is), but rather a challenge to improve (and good Lord, I sound almost Wikipedian!).

Champagne dreams and caviar kisses
Lastly, the holidays are rapidly approaching. Our American cousins are currently getting ready to slaughter masses of poultry in an effort to show their gratitude and generally peaceful demeanor, and those of the Canadian persuasion, trendsetters that they are, celebrated a bit early this year. I'm sure all us foreigners will join together in wishing them all a very happy Thanksgiving on their respective holidays, both already celebrated and forthcoming... though I would hope somebody would enlighten me as to why they don't celebrate it on the same day. I was awake all last night trying to figure that one out. - In the spirit of this peculiarly North American holiday, let me take a moment to thank all of our editors for their contributions to this project. It's people like you who make people like me...well, a "people person"! May all your Wiki days be bright, and may your Love Boat never turn into a Poseidon.

Redirect of Jay wen
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Jay wen, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Jay wen is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Jay wen, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot 01:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD closure comment
Sorry, but I don't understand what you are trying to say via the comment you left on my talk page. Obviously given the articles great additions and improvement, I am fine with the page staying. However, I do strongly believe those changes were made because of the AfD (meaning without my nominating the article, it wouldn't have been improved). It is clear that the revision that I nominated was proper for deletion. - Rjd0060 01:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Howdy Bearian, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.

My RfA
Thanks for supporting My RfA. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go well, and it was closed rather early. There were a couple of recent issues raised by some other editors that I think it's best to put a bit of time between. But I don't plan to go anywhere; most of the things I do on wikipedia really don't require any special powers anyway, so it's not that big of a deal (having the powers would've made things easier, though). I'll probably try again sometime in the spring. Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 05:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
Hi; thanks for your support to my RfA, which closed successfully at (51/1/2). I'll keep this brief since I don't like spamming anyone: I'll work hard to deserve the trust you placed in me. Thanks again. &mdash; Coren (talk) 23:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Secure network
I have been assured that I am at a secure network, so I logged into my admin account. Cross your fingers, folks. Bearian (talk) 22:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Nothing terrible seems to have happened yet. I've been somewhat randomly thanking folks for commenting on my RfA in an avoidance of thankspam, but I wanted to particularly thank you for the handsomely-worded endorsement.  I can't say Loser (slang) was my favorite article, but it grew on me, sort of like a tailless one-eyed, three-legged dog named Lucky :).    Acroterion  (talk)  23:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

That userbox
I had no idea anyone would take it the wrong way ... I went ahead and got rid of it, I'd been debating whether I should for some time. Hope it helps ... Blueboy96 23:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Paul Reubens
No problem! It's actually probably the article that I see on my watchlist the most often, nearly always vandalism, glad to see it finally got a decent amount of protection. Strangely enough, I think Pomegranate is a close second. Cheers!!! Murderbike (talk) 00:14, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD for Software that uses Subversion
Hi. I noticed you closed the AfD debate for this article citing WP:OUTCOMES, but I can't find anything in that list that supports this claim. The closest is the section on notable lists, but this article fails that criteria because it is almost exclusively external links. Most of those links fail WP:EL and WP:NOT to boot; those that don't can easily be incorporated into Subversion (software). Previous outcomes in this regard include, for example, List of international travel guides and web sites. Thoughts? (Reply here - I'll watch your talk page.) Mind  matrix  16:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Will you give me a break? I've been out of town for Thanksgiving week, visiting my mother, who had stroke the week before Turkey Day.  I posted a note for that at WP:AN.  I'll get to it and fix it up to standards ASAP, which I do all the time.  There was no reason to nom a 2nd time.  If you do not like a closure at WP:AfD, then take it to deletion review.  If you do not like an article, please make a real effort to fix it yourself 1st.  Thank you. Bearian&#39;sBooties (talk) 21:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Sheriff cleanup
I was more than happy to help cleanup an overly long article and get into a readable format. Right now I am trying to remove as many article as I can from Category:Scots law stubs. Davidkinnen (talk) 20:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Tailzie has been created as a stub with references to several outside sources - not bad seeing as I had no idea what it was until about 10 minutes ago! Davidkinnen (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Feu has seen references and citations added - still a couple of facts that I couldn't verify. Davidkinnen 21:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I did a bit of cleaning up the form and tone of this article (which seems to be an odd school project). Would you care to check it out and note what may still need to be done (aside from the citations, that's still a mess)? Cheers! Murderbike (talk) 01:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, after our collective cleanup, I think that the article is in decent enough shape to warrant removing the tone and cleanup tags. If you disagree, I guess reinsert them and let me know what more needs to be done. Murderbike (talk) 19:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Re your comment there, I think all related edits might be worth scrutiny. I've found several copyvios, and the pattern - English artists with an East Anglian connection, small potteries, and repeated copyvio - matches an editor I've encountered previously: see User talk:Gartart.

Scott5114's RFA
Thank you for supporting me in my recent RFA nomination. Unfortunately, I have withdrawn the nom early at 17/13/3. I am presently going to undergo admin coaching in preparation for a second candidacy somewhere down the line. I hope to see your continued support in the future.

John Brown Anti-Klan Committee
I recently added an article about the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee. This seems to be a topic with which you might have some familiarity. The article is a little short, so if you have anything to add, please help out. I've had some trouble finding good information online, and I don't have any other sources about the group, except for a brief mention in a book about racist skinhead violence. One thing I'm confused about is the role of the JBAKC in the bombing of the Capitol Building in 1983. The article states that the group claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the May 19th Communist Movement article attributes the bombing to that group. This blog has an excerpt from a communique published in the JBAKC newsletter, but it's not clear whether the communique is from another group and simply published there, or is an actual claim from JBAKC itself. For this reason, I left out any mention of the bombing. Any help in getting at the truth would be greatly appreciated. Mycota (talk) 16:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Clinton campaign office hostage crisis
Hi. I see you have begun an article for this event. I have posted in here already: Clinton campaign office hostage crisis. Do you think Clinton hostage situation is more appropriate? --Anthony5429 19:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Littlestown Christian Academy
As you did not actually remove the speedy, just left a comment, I decided I would not be reverting you if I sent it to Prod. I can not really see how it has a remote chance of passing Afd. But of course just remove the tag & send it, if you really think otherwise. DGG (talk) 21:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
