Regarding your comment on ask123's ask123 (talk) talk page
Perhaps if you correctly interpreted what I wrote on the Bobby Jindal talk page, you would have realized that I am saying that it is, in my opinion, OKAY for you to edit the article so long as you provide credible sources and abide by other Wikipedia policies. So far, you have, and, thus, I see NO problem with your edits. Perhaps if you were less aggressive, you would be more popular and, ultimately, successful in your ventures. ask123 (talk) 01:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you did say that IF I post in a manner consistant with Wikipedia policy that I should be able to continue to edit the article. Of course, everyone has to follow the rules and guidelines of editing pages on wikipedia so restating that seems to be a little redundant. However, the tone of your post, including  "One thing to point out is that his interests are clearly not with providing any useful information on Bobby Jindal." and "But, be advised, Mr. Zimmerman, you may not turn this article into a negative campaign ad or use any part of this article to that end.", is what prompted me to leave a message on your talk page. I see no aggression in my post to you. Just a suggestion and a request. DanielZimmerman (talk) 13:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to your comment on my talk page. Cheers, ₪ ask123  {  t  } 19:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

RPP Bobby Jindal
Oh sorry, I missed that thread. Hope I didn't seem too rude for not replying! It's twice I've done that this week. Pages are only protected in rare cases, and when the page is receiving uncontrollably heavy amounts of vandalism. The page isn't receiving heavy bouts of vandalism, and the vandalism is being reverted quickly, so protection isn't an option at the moment. Two instances of vandalism since the last request isn't justification. Hope this helps. Best, PeterSymonds (talk)  13:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, you've won me over. :) I've changed my mind and protected it for a week. That'll give the article some breathing space. It got me thinking that many admins would protect a page with less disruption and maybe I'm too lenient at times (it's not been the first time). Sorry for the hassle!

ID
If you are going to mention ID, you need to mention what it is, ie what the scientific community defines it as well as the way courts see it regarding public schools. You have reverted every single change that ANY user other than yourself has made to the page. Paper45tee (talk) 18:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrong. I don't have to define what ID is. All you have to do is provide a wikilink to ID where ID is already defined. I have reverted every single change so far made by every other user for the reasons listed on the Bobby Jindal page. And while we are supposed to "be bold" on Wikipedia, we are also supposed to form a consensus.
 * Furthermore, your edits on the wikipedia page for Jindal serve less to inform people about what ID is and more to bash Jindal for his support of it. And while I agree with you that ID is not science and belongs nowhere near the science classroom I will repeat that wikipedia is not a soapbox. DanielZimmerman (talk) 05:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron


I noticed that you are part of Category:Wikipedians against notability.

I would like to invite you to join the Article Rescue Squadron. Although Rescue Squadron members do not share any official position on notability, and are simply focused on rescuing articles for deletion, you may find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.

Caveat: I am writing this as an individual, not as a representative of Article Rescue Squadron. Ikip (talk) 19:58, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Nonot.JPG
A tag has been placed on File:Nonot.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron!

{| style="border: 2px solid #CC3333; padding: 6px; width: 80%; min-width: 700px; background: lightsteelblue; line-height: 20px; cellpading=30" align=center Hi,, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Jeff Crouere for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jeff Crouere is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Jeff Crouere until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 18:45, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

ThoughtAudio Review Request
I am seeking independent and neutral viewpoints on the article ThoughtAudio, which is being considered for deletion. If you have a few minutes to review it, I would appreciate your article contributions and opinion on the decision as to whether it merits being retained and improved, or deleted. ThoughtAudio was targeted by the same editor that made a failed attempt to delete the wikiquote article Michael Scott Gallegos. There are only 3 reviews/votes so far. I am hoping that a minority viewpoint as to the worthiness of the article will not prevail. My work is mainly in the creation of new wikiquote articles @ELApro and time is rarely spent in unproductive controversy. I am a long time editor for Wikipedia, but have not created many articles here. I would much appreciate your advice and/or contributions with regard to the process.
