Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 06:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Understood. Thank'ee. --Jeske Couriano 07:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Nlu (talk) 06:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Rampard, Mukubird, and also the Trideps article
Do you know how to properly report his vandalism? Some things I am reading imply a third party might be necessary to set an official fact regarding the image, and if he refuses the cooperate, only then it counts as vandalism. Either way, something needs to be reported. Just wondering if you know about this stuff or if I should try to get something done myself. --ArrEmmDee 00:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The ANI article implies to me that I should go through AIAV. --ArrEmmDee 00:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Right, then. What if he continues afterwards on any of the three-- I suppose Rampard and Tritops might be out because there is not any proof either way, though. --ArrEmmDee 00:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Rampard
i would like to see an official site that has the artwork for this Rampard image, and site it sent me to had some other images that are clearly fake too.
 * I apologize, but I am not the person to talk to, ArrEmmDee is. Since what you say seems true, I'm staying out of debates on the article.  BTW, sign your posts with four tildes. -Jeske (Mail goes here) 19:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I had a gripe with the image as well, but when I edited it, it was replaced and stated as having been on such-and-such website which stated they came from the official www.pokemon.co.jp website, which means it is not necessarily bound to be in the "official" art style, implying it may come from other sources such as their card game, which while not in the standard style, is still official. Unless someone were to remove the license for the image with sufficient proof or by proving a lack of sufficient proof that it is in an acceptable art piece, unless some Wikipedia admin orders me otherwise, I will treat removal of the image as vandalism and continue to revert to it until the official official art is released in a decent size-- I actually have seen the official art DSDark seems to have such a great preference to, they're actually fairly similar in art and pose. If any of that seems entirely unreasonable, that is fine. I'm not up for confrontation, but I'm not up for removal of a sufficient art substitute in the meanwhile.--ArrEmmDee 20:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

wait you've seen the real official art for rampard? and if so where––DSDark 21:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I request, DS and Arr, that you two continue the debate on either of your talk pages or on Rampard's talk page, not on mine. Danke. -Jeske (Mail goes here) 21:26, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Dungeons & Dragons
I'm sorry you thought my addition was vandalism, and, in looking at it, I could have chosen a better word choices. But as a Dungeon & Dragons player from way back and having followed the controversies for many years, the Monster Manual from 1977 had topless drawings and it was a point of concern among those critical of D&D. I've tried to restate the information in a form that is more tasteful. Bbagot 15:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining. Have you tried placing those in the Dungeons & Dragons controversies article as well? -Jeske (v^_^v) 18:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I was just passing through and didn't read many forks. I'd like to apologize again.  Now that I've read the history of the article, I see that you have a fair amount of vandalism.  My original word choice was very poor.  You handled what could have been an explosive situation very well and I wish to commend you for that.  Back in my day I was quite the DM with the first edition and have a 900 page story of my characters' expliots, so I certainly respect the game and would only try to add meaningful information from a time period that's probably largely forgotten. Bbagot 20:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Monk
The monk class did come from The Destroyer novels, as those of us who were playing the game in the '70s know well. I have added the citation. You can always use the {fact} tag rather than just deleting information that you haven't heard of, you know. Truly Trivial 21:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * But have you a CITE? I stand corrected. However, to realize why I remove uncited information, you must also understand I also do a LOT of work on Pokemon articles as well.-Jeske (v^_^v) 03:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Check my userpage.
I've responded to your message. TheBlazikenMaster 08:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank'ee for the note. -Jeske (v^_^v) 13:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Eevee
I thought I might split up the sections in the video game part of the article to tell what games eeve appears in, what games it doens't and it's statistics. I was wondering, how is that a game guide, and can I still at least have the statistics mini-section? ~VNinja~ 01:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Splitting it up like that is pointless and as far as I know flies in the face of the Pokemon Collaborative project's style guide. I'm not the guy to complain to, that would be the PCP.  Further, you were deliberately spelling out the stats section, which (since it has numerical stats anyhow which will be deleted) is tantamount to game guide. -Jeske (v^_^v) 01:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry.
I apologize. I won't bother you again.
 * I will watch you all the same in case you do. -Jeske (v^_^v) 22:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You can watch individual users? How?
 * I have a watchlist, and both my user and talk pages are on it. I take any vandalism on my user page as bothering me. Besides, I have your IP's talk page watchlisted. -Jeske (v^_^v) 22:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

So, you CAN'T watch individual users.
 * Not without keeping an eye on their talk page and contributions (thanks to that link on the side of the talk page that reads, "User Contributions"). -Jeske (v^_^v) 22:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. An IP block would mean that many people would be affected. Are you a haxor?
 * No. -Jeske (v^_^v) 23:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

That is wack. It's funny how Wikipedia claims to be a "serious" encyclopedia, when it's generally considered by many institutions to not be a valid source of information.
 * It's mainly because anyone can edit it - not because it's not valid (it's mostly valid thanks to Attribution & Neutral point of view), but because an article can easily be rendered crap by vandals, anonymous or named. -Jeske (v^_^v) 23:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Easily edited...thus invalidating its credibility. Anyway, excited for Diamond/Pearl, or did you import? I'm going to guess you didn't since you don't speak Japanese.
 * I don't import. I'm not saying what exactly I do or my feelings (or even the languages I speak), as I have a policy of not giving out too much personal information (I don't consider userboxes too much). Besides, everything is easily editable up to a point of no return, excepting Wikipedia (which has no such point), a fact you showed by personally attacking me. -Jeske (v^_^v) 23:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I figure if you spoke Japanese, you'd have made a userbox about it. ;-)

Recent reverts
Though I must half-heartedly agree with policy, if these names end up being confirmed, I request that you rerevert (is that a word?) bak to my edits.--Tempest115 21:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Either myself, User:Urutapu, User:Floramage, or one of the other users who haunt the Pokemon pages will do so when and if they are confirmed. -Jeske (v^_^v) 22:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Works for me.--Tempest115 22:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

There is official confirmation that Togepi is a baby pokemon, go on to Pokemon-games.com and click on the Pokedex and go down to togepi and it says Baby: Togepi Basic Togetic. DSDark 19:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Neorant
Hello Jeske. I saw the comment you left on Talk:Neorant regarding the rumors and their place in the mainspace article. In your opinion, do you think that stating the rumors violates WP:NOT or that they should be left in the article? Ksy92003 01:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think they do personally, since we can't verify a rumor (which is a type of speculation), thus the rumor violates CBALL and WP:ATT. -Jeske (v^_^v) 02:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * One thing I don't understand still is that a Pokemon's name given on a website like www.Serebii.net, even if it's not the official name, technically isn't speculation. I'm not speculating that its name is gonna be Lumineon.  I'm not trying to argue anybody here, especially those who have been working on Pokemon articles a hell of a lot longer than I have.  I would just like some clarification on the subject, that's all. Ksy92003 02:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Removing English Name notes
Since you won't stop removing the small notes I have been placing in the D/P Pokemon articles, I will ask you why... And is Bulbapedia a reliable source, since Wikipedia obviously is, and there are basically the same thing?

Also, what is wrong with reporting news about the reported English names? It's not speculation, as you suggest, as I am not the one making it up... And second, if several sites on the internet leaked the names out and said outright that they didn't do it all at once because Nintendo would be mad, and Nintendo came back by telling people on their forums not to use the English names due to spoilers about the English versions of the games, isn't that verifiable enough?Oraclelink 21:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, Bulbapedia isn't a reliable source, as it is a wiki, and thus anyone can edit it (i.e. anonymous input). Wikipedia is a different matter altogether, since it is the site all this is going on, and thus couldn't be cited (self-referential).
 * Further, reporting the reported english names violates What Wikipedia is not, specifically the part that Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball.
 * Last, just because Nintendo shot back at them for releasing the English names, it doesn't mean they are genuine. They could have also shot back for other reasons, namely confusion over names once D/P came out.  Besides, forums also fail WP:RS thanks to the fact they have anonymous input. -Jeske (v^_^v) 21:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The info on the forums was by NoA staff, therefore not anonymous, and they specifically said to not use them because they would SPOIL THE GAME for people who did not yet want to see the names. And it doesn't violate the crystal ball thing. Oraclelink 21:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, the forum ITSELF violates WP:RS, no matter whether Joe Cartoon, Nintendo of America, or even one of the Crab People posted there. And, actually, it does violate CBALL, since it is essentially a rumor which can't be reliably verified. -Jeske (v^_^v) 21:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

J Milburn
H3y jeske, just letting you know that j milburn is unfair can u tell him thatJimmyr6 15:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Heym Jimmy, just letting you know personal attacks such as the one you keep placing on will get you blocked from editing or on the wrong end of an ArbCom request (and besides, I'm uninvolved and your actions aren't swaying me). By the by, read up on policy. -Jeske (v^_^v) 15:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Jeske isn't very common name in my opinion.
I'm thinking about the name "Jake", but there is no common name that will help me remember the name as "Jeske", perhaps you can help me remember? What's the best way to remember that e in your name? TheBlazikenMaster 23:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * If there's a Wikipedia article on the Club Masters in another language, then people could find the information out by reading the foreign article (if the names are as you say and in the same order as the article has them, there should be little-to-no trouble understanding). There's no need to add a separate section for other-language names - See Qilin. -Jeske (v^_^v) 17:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I understand! You are far better than Urutapu!

ur too nice
personally... after seeing how many vandalizing edits this guy made, i would be done warning and go ahead and request a block. It's not justified that he's able to vandalize 5 pages at once and only get one warning, especially when he's already been warned and it's blatant. but that's just me, that anon has only one more shot. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 17:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * How would I go about it? He's only been here for 48 hours at best, and I didn't append  because I haven't been able to get to it yet. -Jeske (v^_^v) 18:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

oh no... please don't take it negatively... i just saw what he was doing and got angry. my statement that "ur too nice" was just meant in a playful manner... damned internet for not being able to convey nuance. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 18:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I mean, I want this guy to stop - by branch or by shackle - but I want to know how to request that an IP be blocked momentarily if they have not vandalized beyond the last warning. -Jeske (v^_^v) 18:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Bidoof
Sorry for being a jerk back there, but it just really annoyed me that some opinions were welcomed and others weren't. But it looks like it is all fine now. And so I don't piss off anyone even more, I'll let you make the call. Do you really think Bidoof looks like a cow? (68.164.13.17 06:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC))
 * In the fact that its body is thick, yes. -Jeske (v^_^v) 12:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

No language block??
You told me that Wikipedia doesn't blocked language/porn. Why is that? So anyone can just go cussing everybody off a talk page? I had to delete a piece on the sandbox because it was so bad. Wikipedia, being known for its good articles, should have some sort of policy. Like an Administrator could edit it or something. Sincerely, Kevin 20 5 23 26 03:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not censored because if it were, we'd have very little (after the Muslims, Christians, Jews, right-wingers, left-wingers, charvers, and everyone else demanded whatever they deemed offensive off). Besides, not EVERYONE is going to be put off by potty language - I certainly am not.  A talk page should not be edited for language/grammar/etc. - ESPECIALLY if you didn't make the comment.
 * Also, Wikipedia is not known for "good articles" (see Talk:Bulbasaur - you'll be surprised), it is known for its anyone-can-edit approach. We do have administrators, but their job is to protect articles, block disruptive users (such as the master of copyright vio), and delete articles. -Jeske (v^_^v) 04:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

mawile talk page
On the mawile talk page someone was talking about how it is usefull and i said that "i dont know if it helps but mawile is my second best pokemon and that faint attack is very usefull" and it says you reverted it and said that it was spam, i was not spamming! i was trying to help the person out by saying some other things about it being useful!-hotspot
 * It was removed because Talk:Mawile is not a forum for general discussion on Mawile. If you'd looked at the link, it is reasonable you would have figured the "Spam" designation was sarcasm.  Besides, whether it is useful or not is a moot point.  Wikipedia is not the place to post how "useful" a particular Poke is, as I'd already stated on the talk page. -Jeske (v^_^v) 02:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Lo siento
If you don't know Spanish, that means "I'm sorry." When I said "leader," I only meant that you were one of thoe three who makes nearly all the edits to the Pokemon articles along with Urutapu and Mcy. I wasn't judging based on your actual edits. Sorry for confusion. A trivial matter, as far as I'm concerned. --Ksy92003 (talk) 05:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Removal of Pokémon image templates
As far as notifying the relevant WikiProject, that's not up to me, that was up to the nominator. I was merely the closing administrator. ^ demon [omg plz] 02:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have already told him. -Jeske ( v^_^v ) 02:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no duty on the nominator to notify anyone. It's nice, but it's not compulsory.  Do not chastise nominators in XfD processes for your own failure to observe your watchlist.  81.104.175.145 03:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't even know the TfD existed, so you might want to recant your last statement. -Jeske ( v^_^v ) 03:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You didn't know, but it's not the nominator's fault that you didn't know. 81.104.175.145 04:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do you say that? I don't patrol WP:TfD or recent changes, and I've been busy at other avenues during the time the TfD was going on and didn't have time to look, either. Besides, since the TfD involved a project, I would have suspected someone would have notified everyone else.  As far as I know, the whole project, sans Amarkov (who forgot about it), did not know an iota about it.-Jeske ( v^_^v ) 04:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. You could reasonably expect that someone would have spotted it, but nobody did.  Therefore, not the nominator's fault.  81.104.175.145 04:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * One cannot watch what one did not know existed. Think about that before you chastise me. -Jeske ( v^_^v ) 03:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What's your point? I'm not telling you off for missing it on your watchlist.  I'm telling you off for chastising a TfD nominator for something that wasn't their problem.  81.104.175.145 04:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

You're fast
You're fast. I just went to Talk:Mudkip to tell you that I had already put in the request. But when I clicked to edit the section, I saw that it was removed. And apparently in that span of 5 seconds, you noticed that I put the request through to WP:RFPP and removed the section. You're pretty fast, mate. Caught me off-guard :) Ksy92003  (talk)  20:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Why did you people have to change it to list of Pokemon?
Why did most of the pokemon articles get changed to "List of pokemon ____ to _____" when they all had there own articles before. I mean when each of them had there own article it was WAY more informative and useful.


 * I'll take care of this, Jeske. They were changed to that because a lot of people thought that each Pokemon wasn't notable enough for its own article.  Additionally, a lot of the information is shared on all 493 articles, making it rather redundant to say it on 493 articles.  It wasn't Jeske's decision, it was agreed at WP:PCP (I think that's the right link).  It's a better idea to group them all together, so we don't have to repeat the same information on 493 articles.  Now, all the same information is only gonna be posted on 25 articles with all the same links and information.  Nothing is being removed.  It's all just being grouped together to avoid redundancy.

Thank you for making a report at Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Jmlk 1  7  23:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk Page
Eh, my bad. I meant to move it back chronlogically. Didn't look like it would delete content otherwise I would've moved it manually. Sorry about that mess up. - Warthog Demon  01:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't it be moved to the bottom? - Warthog Demon  01:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Erm, it was until someone moved it back up to teh top. - Jéské  ( v^_^v Kacheek! ) 01:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Here's my mistake: . Looking at it like that it looked like the only change the actual move itself, without any stuff added. Should've double checked myself. Again, sorry about that. - Warthog Demon  01:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nolle perspiration. His comment's back in, and I moved it back to the bottom (in keeping with the chronology). - Jéské  ( v^_^v  Kacheek! ) 01:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Regardless, the user seems to insist on having it at the top... - Warthog Demon  01:36, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That strikes me as very odd, given that he's been around for at least a year and he suddenly jumps into this issue (although his edit to the actual section was honest). - Jéské  ( v^_^v Kacheek! ) 01:39, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

My MfD page
I tried that (in fact, it still says that) but it is not showing up on CAT:CSD because it wants some deletion rationale (since it is a talk page) so I did this instead. MfD - Rjd0060 23:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

SkiersBot find
Thanks for the 'heads up' on this. For some bizarre reason the Category:Fictional universe stubs‎ was included in the recursive list (a 'daughter' of) the Category:Comics stubs. As there was only one subcategory therein that could be strictly considered as a 'comics' related fictional universe, I have removed the link and the fict universe stubs won't be included in lists of comics stubs any more. Sometimes it's these 'goofs' that help fix things that aren't looked at too often (I would never have thought that fict universes would be considered as 'comics' by someone)! I'll go back on the bot tags and remove any that clearly fall into those other fict universes categories. SkierRMH 19:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Axolotl
Hi there. I see you've been pretty active in removing Mudkip related nonsense from the Pokemon and mudskipper articles, so wonder if you'd mind watching Axolotl as well. It gets the same rubbish periodically, not helped by a page on Encyclopaedia Dramatica encouraging people to revert to a version full of silliness. I can't link to the Encyclopaedia Dramatica page as it's on the spam blacklist - suggest you Google it and go to the mudkip page if you haven't seen it already. I'm watching it myself, but will be away for the next week so would be good to have another pair of eyes on it. Regards Iain99Balderdash and piffle 14:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Editing
Every correction I made was formatting errors, or spelling. If you look at the reversion you reverted it back to, it looks ridiculous. I don't care who's edits they are. Spelling was wrong, and headers weren't capitalized. You asked for me not to correct other users edits? Who's would I correct then? Carter | Talk to me 05:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Your own. Other editors take offense if someone edits the comments they made, even for grammar, spelling, and capitalization. -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 05:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologize then. I have a script that runs letting me know of misspelling. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, but if correcting other users spelling is offensive, I wouldn't want to hurt anyones feelings. I removed the silly in my first statement as well. Sorry about that. It was rude. Is it not ok then to correct other users spelling? Carter | Talk to me 05:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It isn't OK to do so.  The only time you could get away with editing another user's comment is if they're making legal threats, personal attacks, or trying to out someone, and then you remove the offending sections (or the whole post if it's just one big ol LT/PA/outing). -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 05:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You say to get away with like it's against WP policy to correct simple spelling errors. I can get away with it I feel as long as it is simple correction, but once again, I DO NOT want to be offensive. It's not against policy however to minor correct as I did. Anyways, I consider the matter closed. I will refrain from editing other users comments on talk pages. Thanks for the heads up. Carter | Talk to me 06:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Creepy Crawler
Regards this edit and comment, that particular user is a sock of User:Creepy Crawler who's actions usually consist solely of adding a link to the barefoot page and a collection of middling-useful categories; sometimes correct, sometimes spammy. I've been watching and correcting his/her additions for a while now, but it's a lot of work to revert and the 3rr is always close to being breached when he/she is actually online. All this to say, if you see similar actions in the future, I love to have help with corrections, warnings and blocks (I believe you will pass an RFA soon?) and this has been going on for months. I think myself alone I've tagged about 8 different socks with exactly the same contribution history.

Thanks,

WLU 14:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll keep an eye out and I'll watchlist both barefoot and the pages he was hitting as UniversalHero. -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 18:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've never noticed him/her editing barefoot directly, is there a way of spotting new links to Barefoot? I've tried using the related changes page, but either I'm mis-timing it, using it wrong, or it's just impossible.  WLU 18:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Go to barefoot and click on "What links here." That gives a list of every article linking to it. -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 18:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Tried that, there's over 550 pages and it's a lot to click/crtl-f/edit. Are they arranged chronologically?  I've never tried to figure out if there's an order to the list.  Would just going to the bottom of the list give the newest?  WLU 19:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't know; from what I've seen, it's random. However, I would see if these appear on the list (these were the ones he last hit) and check them to see if they're legit. -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 19:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Revert explained
Just a note to explain why I reverted your well intentioned revert of personal attacks as found on User talk:Philippe. This is a very unique case were the personal attacks are actually the subject matter of the main topic, so reverting them has a negative impact on the topic itself. My assumption is that you acted solely based on normal Wikipedia standards and did not have any hidden agenda of protecting the one making the personal attacks. That individual has now been blocked for 48 hours. Just wanted you to know exactly what was going on and why I reverted your revert. There is no need to reply as this was a very unique situation. Thank you for your on going work in reverting vandalism where ever it occurs. Dbiel (Talk) 19:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Edit war developing
I note that you were the first to remove a link to www.thefirmament.org placed on the Firmament page. User Megamile has since made multiple attempts to place this link on this and other pages, despite multiple reverts by others (including me). Now a new pattern is emerging: several new user accounts have been created with no apparent purpose except to debate the issue on the Talkpage (MyCallonWiki, IMSirius, Stargate5), and one of these has just replaced the link (I reverted him). I suspect sockpuppetry (or maybe meatpuppetry). --Robert Stevens 19:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

picture in Nobel Prize article
Just wanted to point out that I brought up that there may be a possible trademark/copyright violation by including the image of the Nobel Prize medal in the article. See Wikipedia talk:Copyrights/Can I use.... I know that blocking admins don't block on a correct or incorrect version but wouldn't it have been in the best interest of Wikipedia to remove the image from the article until the legality of its use is determined? –panda 15:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Doing so would have compromised me because the image was what was being edit-warred over. Same for the image itself.  Had I removed it, I would be taking sides. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 18:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, Congratulations on becoming an administrator. Obviously, it is unlikely that you will know how to use the tools at first and mistakes are bound to happen, so if you would like to practice using them, with step by step guides to follow, in an environement that you can do no harm in, then why not pop down to the new admin school where we have pages on blocking, deleting and restoring pages, protecting and unprotecting pages and viewing deleted pages.

Question
Hello, Jeske. I dont quite understand the reason for your answer. If the change of the username will not help remove the COI template on the page I have created, then what will? Because this is the only reason that I see for that template there, given that I have made the language of the article as neutral and informative as possible. What exactly is the COI? My apologies if I am not aware of some basic Wikipedia rule on the issue. 09:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)Cerge-ei
 * Generally, if you write about someone or something you're deeply involved with, regrdless of username, the article (or a user) can still be tagged as conflicted. Ask other users to help you with the article - finding criticisms, etc.
 * As a side note, I removed the template you included with the post; it's redundant with the template at the top of this page. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 18:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Steve Hoffman article protection
You protected this article with the "Controversy" section removed, despite it having credible citations. Please revert the article back to include this information and then protect it. Thanks. Sidar 20:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * See The wrong version. I will not get involved in an edit war. -Jéské ( v^_^v ) 20:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Please restore the previous version of the Steve Hoffman entry. The Controversy section should be included before being protected. It it both well-sourced and a key detail in this individual's career. Otherwise, I request that this entry is removed entirely. The people that are removing the Controversy section are trying to erase a key detail which makes for a very biased Wiki entry. Huberman 20:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Huberman

You sprotected this. Please take a more careful look at the history here. There was one major vandaliser IP. Now that is blocked. There just so happened to be another today. But look further back.

Problem
(edit conflict) You protected a page leaving a potential copyright/trademark violation in the infobox Nobel Prize (the image); see Talk:Nobel Prize and my recent comments in various reports pages. The image placed there is in dispute. Until the dispute is resolved, the image needs to be removed by administrator(s) who are currently the only ones able to edit the page. [As a new administrator, perhaps you didn't realize that.] You protected a page leaving an image whose validity is disputed. When such questions arise about an image, Wikipedia's policy is to remove it until the questions are properly resolved. This is a legal matter. Please see WP:3RR violations page and links to the fair use violations and non-free content issues provided throughout that report. Thank you. --NYScholar 20:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC) [In part due to the disputed image, the article has failed a "good article" review; there are several other reasons too for its failing the "good article" review, but removing the image will be an improvement to the article; moreover, it is required by the terms of the good article review. As an administrator, you (or another administrator) can remove the image while the review of the validity of its license is being reviewed. It also lacks a necessary detailed fair-use rationale, as the image includes the currently-registered trademark for Nobel Foundation (organization/company), which is WP:Non-free content and subject to WP:Fair use guidelines, as well as the copyright and trademark notice restrictions on nobelprize.org cited in my comments elsewhere about this problem. See WP:AN/3RR violations report page. I hope that you will correct this problem. Thank you. --NYScholar 20:22, 20 October 2007 (UTC)]
 * I'll deal with it. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 20:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * FYI - I have emailed the Nobel Foundation about this image (and other images of the medals and diplomas) and am waiting for a reply. –panda 21:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Can I request you re-instate this image, per your original inclination. Per the discussion on the copyright-specialist forum at Wikipedia:Fair_use_review, there appears to be no problem with this image, because the underlying design was known in the U.S. before 1923.

I don't know why NYScholar has got such a bee in his bonnet about this image, but he has repeatedly failed, when requested, to respond to this point, which is basic for any claim to a U.S. copyright. Jheald 00:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright - I will admit that I'm in over my head in this situation. I'm not going to restore the image; rather I'm going to take this to WP:AN and ask for help. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 00:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I find that the previous user (User:Jheald) has been uncivil (in the fair use concerns pages, where I reported this problem) and is repeatedly stating misleading and false information (with no basis in fact). The designs of all the Nobel medals are currently (still) the property of the Nobel Foundation which features their images, describes the designs, and explains their history, featuring "Registered trademark of The Nobel Foundation" with each image/design of each medal. The designers of the medals never owned the copyrights to the designs, as they were done as work for hire for the Nobel Foundation (or its predecessor/organization). The design was work for hire commissioned by the Nobel Foundation (or its predecessor organization/s) and the "use" of images of the Nobel Prize Medals (all of them, including the Nobel Peace Prize Medal) is subject to current notices of current trademarks and copyrights posted clearly on the Nobel Foundation's feature of each medal image. [edit conflict] The date of the design (and the Peace medal was based on a design by another designer) has nothing to do with the designs and images of the medals all currently being registered properties of the Nobel Foundation (the design of the Nobel Peace Prize Medal is the same now as it was in 1933, and the design of the medal and the copyrighted images of the medal are all identified as a registered trademark of the Nobel Foundation organization). Wikipedia cannot violate the terms and conditions of these registered trademarks and copyrights. I've made this very clear; the user just ignores what I've said and refuses to acknowledge that s/he has no basis in fact for claims otherwise. The medal designs/images of the medals are the trademark of the Nobel Foundation and subject to U.S. and international laws as well as Wikipedia's own stated policies and guidelines pertaining to Non-free content and Trademarks and WP:Copyright. I see no evidence to the contrary. [I see no evidence that user jheald is a "specialist" in copyright and trademark laws or Wikipedia policies and guidelines pertaining to fair use; s/he is not an intellectual property lawyer as far as I can tell or acknowledged as an expert pertaining to intellectual and artistic property law. There is too much left unclear in the lack of a detailed fair-use rationale for this image in question.] --NYScholar 00:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC) [Updated in brackets. --NYScholar 01:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)]
 * I have also updated the talk page of the image whose license is being disputed with information from the Imperial War Museum, whose exhibits are also subject to copyright (Crown copyright, the IWM copyright, and the copyrights and trademarks of others, like the Nobel Foundation, when those items have been placed on exhibit at the IWM. I added the exhibit external link to Norman Angell so that people can consult it for further information; the image pertains only to that article as it is an image of the medal that he received in 1933 (whose images are still subject to their copyrights and trademarks as registered by the organizations/companies involved).  He no longer owns the medal, as the Crown owns the artifact; the images, however, and the design of the medal are trademarked and copyrighted by the Nobel Foundation.  (His family probably donated the medal to the IWM; but conditions of "access" to exhibits apply; as do whatever conditions the IWM may place on photographing its exhibits.  It is not clear whether the image in question is a photograph of a published photograph (copyrighted to someone else) or a photograph taken in the IWM by the uploader of it.  Frequently in Wikipedia, anonymous people (anonymous still w/ screen names) scan published images and say that they created them.  There is no proper recognizable copyright for such people; they are not using real names and cannot license their photographs as "their" property.  There is no way to verify their claims of ownership. --NYScholar 00:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

In case anyone cares, I received a reply from the Nobel Foundation (already!). They responded:
 * "This is the most hectic time of year. We will not be able to get back to you immediately."

So my guess is that whatever the people here at WP decide is fine for now. If anyone still cares later on, I can try contacting them again in January or February when everything is more calm for them. Where else should this be cross-posted to? –panda 18:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The fair use review link above is a good place. In any instance, I already put the image back because NYS's arguments are effectively defeated because he failed to address a hole with regards to PD. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 18:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * If the image were edited to be smaller, with less black space, and if it were to be used in a section of an article on the Nobel Peace Prize that discussed the awarding of the 1933 Nobel Peace Prize (R) to Norman Angell, or in a section of the article on Norman Angell discussing his Nobel Peace Prize (R) Medal, perhaps it would meet the requirements of WP:Image.

Hot House Entertainment
You have acted with undue haste in protecting the Hot House article. The article is completely unsourced, and as the rules state, unsourced content can be removed at any time. If editors would simply take the time to source the article, then other editors would not have to take the desperate action of removing the unsourced material, over and over, until proper sourcing is made. Why is an article allowed to stand, that has never been sourced? In the absence of sourcing, the material can be considered OR, and can be seen as free advertising for the studio it discusses. Is it only coincidental that the studio employs "Sister Roma," the subject of another article that has had attention brought to it for lack of sourcing? There is a pro-porn agenda among the editors working on this article (and the Sister Roma and Sister Boom-Boom articles). They ignore the rules on sourcing, and your protection of the Hot House article enables their improper activity further.

72.68.30.122 10:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Have you even read its protection request or the page history (or even looked at the pages you're lambasting)? The Roma and Boom-Boom articles have been sourced, and it's IPs who have been deleting text to make it seem unsourced.  Go away, please. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 11:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No, have YOU read the sources in the context of the article? In many instances the material cited is not found in the source! That's not sourcing, it's deception.  Improperly sourced material can be deleted.  The Hot House article is completely unsourced -- who are you kidding?  The fact that you've said to go away will keep me here, much longer. Your biases and your agendas and those of editors like yourself will be exposed for all to see.

72.68.30.122 11:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're accusing someone oblivious to the porn industry and neutral in the whole affair of being biased and having an agenda. Please assume good faith on everyones' part or leave them alone. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 18:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Jéské Couriano, nor am I expert in the workings of the porn industry, but you are hardly neutral in this affair. You have protected Hot House, an unsourced article.  You have expressed support of the two "Sisters" articles without thoroughly reading them, apparently.  For these reasons I said that you are biased and have an agenda. One cannot assume good faith among the others if they put up articles that are unreferenced, then when called on it, they "pretend" to reference parts of the article, i.e., they list sources, but the material they reference is not found in the source. 72.68.30.122 20:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 72., I heavily doubt you know about what your fellow IPs have done, and I strongly doubt your neutrality in the matter. I am looking over the Roma article (I did not protect it, User:Iridescent did) and so far I am fnding sources that are saying what the article does.  IPs have been removing these sources, valid or no, and essentially blanking the article, then slapping  on it.  As for Hot House Entertainment, I suggest you start finding sources if you care so much about the article - the semi-protection ends in about 36 hours anyhow, meaning you'll be clear to edit it then.  36 hours should be enough time to find sources.  My suggestion is that you stop whining and start finding sources to correct the problem you see. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 20:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

# 18
I can't disagree with your decision to lock the page. I would like some advice on what I should do about primarily user:Sesshomaru and secondarily user:DBZROCKS. They have both gone around and removed almost all information from several character pages, and Sesh has even nominated one for deletion TWICE because of his perceived lack of sources. Even though all of the pages he editted cite the anime/manga as a source, he has ignored this and the policies regarding the matter. They also go and revert any changes made to the articles. They claim that the edits are "controversial" or "unsourced". But even when an explanation is provided they completely ignore it. What do you think should be done?--Marhawkman 00:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Protection of Civil Air Patrol
I question the validity of fully protecting the article Civil Air Patrol, given that the "edit warring" you gave as rationale was other editors attempting to combat either vandalism or someone completely unwilling to abide by Wikipedia policy (which is about the same thing). The IP User:72.148.190.9 has been warned multiple times both in edit summaries and on his/her talk page, yet continues in their effort unabated to add a specific bit of material which is not supported by any present source. I would suggest that the more appropriate action would be a semi-protection of the article. -- Huntster  T • @ • C 00:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see a content dispute which started the vandalism, and thus semi-protection would end up being an endorsement of one side. Talk it out if he's willing to talk, but if he doesn't within 3 days, I'll unprotect it. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 00:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What content dispute? The entire problem has been this IP adding a bit about Maj Gen Pineda having been stripped of rank and terminated from the organisation, a statement which is not supported by the source.  The IP has been repeated told that this is the problem.  Now don't get me wrong, having the article protected means less effort need be expended in dealing with poor edits (joking, joking), but there are plenty of good editors around.  If three days is what is must be, so be it, but I still contend that full protection in this situation is an answer looking for a problem.  This is simple vandal fighting and policy enforcement. --  Huntster  T • @ • C 01:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * My suggestion is to approach him about it. See if he actually does have a ready source. If he deletes your question right off or gives a dodgy or otherwise roundabout answer, tell me and I'll reduce the protection. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 01:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I wandered in late in the debate or whatever, but this is exactly what appears to have been going back and forth at National Commanders of the Civil Air Patrol (which badly needs cleaning up, it appears). He is definitely reading the edit summaries and user-talk page warnings, as he responds in kind. Kind of a humourous situation, in my opinion.  Nothing that hasn't happened plenty of times before.
 * Heh, he even just wrote on my actual user page saying "This guy changes facts on other peoples postings - what is up with that?" -- Huntster  T • @ • C 02:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll look at his TP and determine if he needs a few days off. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 02:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * No, TS, it will be protected until the parties stop wasting time trying to persuade me to unprotect the article and actually go to the talk page and form a consensus on the matter.

 * Look, here's the problem; misguided Thompson supporters think that by not talking about the age difference at all that it will somehow help their candidate. They will never agree to putting it on the page. Other users like would like to note the difference, especially since the news media thinks it is notable. We're not advocating the use of the term "trophy wife", nor giving the, say, proportional age difference (she was 54% of his age when they started dating), but just the age difference in years (24). At a certain point, notability must trump a cadre of obstructionist editors. I argue that this point has been reached. Fee Fi Foe Fum 22:46, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you feel that is the case, file a request for unprotection for the article. I'm not unprotecting it because there is no consensus, and if Turtlescrubber keeps jabbing at me, I'll block him for trolling. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 22:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, If you're going to threaten me, then I should probably leave you alone. Also, it is always better to have non-involved admins do that (blocking) kind of thing. Just a little hint. Anyway, I have annoyed you enough and I will stop "trolling" your page. However, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of how wrong I think your decision is. You don't seem to be one that cares to listen. If I were you, I would discuss your protection of the page with an admin that has more experience. If you listen, you may learn. Anyway, sorry to get you all agitated. I'll let you stew in your own juices. Turtlescrubber 22:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I might do that. But: Is there another place where the inclusion of the information can be considered by more experienced Wikipedians than I? I want the issue resolved, not an edit war with the cadre of Thompson supporters. Or will the people at the request for unprotection weigh in on it? Fee Fi Foe Fum 22:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes; see Requests for comment, Requests for mediation, and Third opinion. Go through Requests for Comment first. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 22:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I already did an RfC, so it's off to Wikipedia:Requests for mediation. Am I to be requesting mediation with you? If so, I make the following exacting request; leave the Fred Thompson page protected, but amend the section on his personal life to read: Thompson began dating Republican consultant Jeri Kehn in July 1996, when she was 29 and he was 53.[95] Their 24 year age difference has prompted a flurry of speculation in the news media on its possible effects on his presidential aspirations, with the consensus being that she is an asset to his campaign..
 * Looking at the sources, I think I'll request the edit to the page at WP:RPP rather than doing it myself - it's clearly sourced, but if I did it I would have calls for my head. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 23:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: remembrance day notice
Hey Jéské, The notice is not only for Canadians or those who observe Remembrance Day, but to remind people about the wars (doesn't really matter which one or which side) and the people who fought in them, who live through them, and who suffered because of them....I am trying to be as ambiguous as possible with this notices, which means that anyone could see it differently...some people might see it as a reminder of how Canada "became" a nation in WWI, or of how many people died in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, or of the attack at Pearl Harbor, or of the Holocaust, or of the killings in Darfur, or of the Rwandan Genocide, or of the Nanking Massacre....its up to those who receive the message to define what it is a reminder of...but if you choose to have it removed from your user talk page thats fine with me. nat Alo!

Nobel Image
Hi there Jeske! I am not exactly sure why the image on the Nobel Prize page has been commented out and orphaned. I think it has been established in about 5 different discussion pages that the image is completely usable. In fact, you yourself have said, "It's becoming clear to me that NYS doesn't have a case for wanting this removed, under law or policy". It, therefore, seems somewhat wrong to remove it because one OCD user is still writing pages and pages of nonsense over this issue and can't move on. I don't wanted to touch your edit but I hope that you can restore this based on what has been reached by overwhelming consensus. But, then again, I might be wrong??? Thanks. aNubiSIII ( T /  C ) 23:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Super Mario Galaxy semi-protection
Hi Jeske,

Thanks for stopping by the Super Mario Galaxy article in response to my page protection request. I noticed you remarked about the high level of IP vandalism here, but the log says you actually unprotected the already unprotected page. Since the next edit has you adding the pp-semiprotected template, I just wanted to stop by and check to see if you actually intended to protect it after all.

Sorry if this seems rude; I not an admin and don't know enough about how the actual page protection interface works, so for all I know it could be the first salvo in a brilliant, sweeping protection strategy :) Thanks for your help! --jonny-mt(t)(c) Tell me what you think! 04:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Un-protection request for No. 18
I'm new here, so I'm not entirely sure how you go about this, but I'd like to request unprotection for No. 18. The reason for the dispute was whether or not 18 had actually married Krillin. I was able to find a verifiable, primary source that confirmed the marriage, and it was enough to convince those who were previously unconvinced that Krillin is indeed her husband. The dispute can be found here. With the dispute settled, I'd like this page unprotected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K9feline (talk • contribs) 16:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Image protection
Hey there - I would like to unprotect Image:DSCN0732.JPG to correct the templates. I am stopping by here first since you protected it. With all due respect to the volumes of discussion about the image, the image needs to be tagged with a copyright template and have a proper fair use rationale. Anything otherwise is a violation of our image policy so it's not really a "consensus" issue. Nobel is still using the medal and they have clearly claimed copyright on it as recently as this year.

Hello there Jéské. I feel the need to inform you that the user V-Dash has apparently circumvented the block you placed on him only nine days ago. At least he is touting that he has broken his own block.

The SSB Ness debate
Basically the use of "until now" in the Smash Bros. updates is throwing some editors into a frenzy given that the rest of the body of editors do not consider the statements made here to be confirmation of Ness' removal, especially given that if dismissed, he would be the first veteran fighter to be confirmed as not in Brawl. One of the lamest talk page debates ensued because of this disagreement. Given that the phrase has been used in several updates since then, and not in that context, we're trying to be sensitive and not use "up until now" as examples of confirmation or dismissal of characters. Hopefully that sheds some light; the talk page archives at Talk:Super Smash Bros. (series) have the full story. I posted here to let you know instead of on the page to avoid unearthing it all again.

R Family Vacations and COI finding
Copied from the COIN:

There are significant problems both with the determination of the admin here and the way by which he arrived at it. The admin has quoted "the article" -- he doesn't say which, but he quotes it to say: "...protests by church groups.." That they were church groups is not contentious here; describing the protesters as Christian protesters is contentious. Though all Christian houses of worship can be described as churches, not all churches are necessarily Christian. And it cannnot be extrapolated from either source used that all of the churches present at the protest were Christian. Similarly, it cannot be extrapolated from either source used that all the protesters were Christian -- it can only be said, reading the sources, that the protesters were from church groups. It is quite different to describe the protesters as Christian protesters than to say they are church group protesters. Neither source cited says the protesters were Christian; that interpolation is the product of the author's anti-Christian agenda. The admin finds that that use of the term "Reservations" and linking that term to the reservations page is unfortunate, when in effect, it is deliberate and designed to attract the reader to the reservations page.

The admin has made his determination referencing material in the article that was not raised in the COI concerns: he talks about the church groups being Christian groups, when it was the description of the protesters as Christian that is contentious. The admin assigns no weight to the author's choice to direct the reader to the reservations page (where they could make a purchase). The admin has ignored the very issues that form the basis of this COI notice.

It is my understanding that at WP we report the facts, not the author's interpolation or interpretation of facts as fact.

I am unable to give this matter any more attention at this time. Even this statement is incomplete but had to be made to respond to this ridiculous finding. Immediately following Chanukah I will seek additional intervention, including an inquiry into the capability of this admin and the veracity of his adminship.

This matter is far from resolved and it certainly is not over.--72.76.13.102 (talk) 17:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jéské, you reverted the IP's edit on leaked info.

The IP Hopper who vandalized a video game article persistently is back
Recently, you semi-protected the article Raiden Fighters 2 because of some IP hopper who makes infrequent, but persistent vandalism edits. Well, this person is back. Now he is vandalizing articles about the other games in the same series: Raiden Fighters and Raiden Fighters Jet. The IP hopper blatantly places the same misleading and incorrect information in these articles as he did in Raiden Fighters 2. I was going to put up a RFPP, but it would be pointless for articles that have been vandalized just once.

The IP range for the vandal belongs in the 206.170.103.* block. Judging by the latest actions, it is clear this IP hopper is here to cause trouble, seeing that this person added almost exactly the same misleading information in two other similar articles as in Raiden Fighters 2. I don't know if this is grounds for a block of the entire IP range, but trying to talk to this person directly will be fruitless due to the constantly changing dynamic IP address. Thank you very much for your time. JudgeSpear 10:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll protect - this is a legitimate reason to do so. Thank'ee for the note; I'll get right over there and issue padlocks. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 10:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow. Thank you for the swift response. I suggest you monitor that entire IP range. This vandal may have vandalized many more articles in the past. On another subject, how does one report a problem user? The guidelines for WP:AIV are somewhat strict, especially when it applies to people with dynamic IP addresses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JudgeSpear (talk • contribs) 10:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * For a dynamic IP-hopper, go see if someone at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents is willing to do a rangeblock; be aware, however, that if he's one of many people on that range or using AOL that the likelihood of a range block drops. I don't know how to do a range block, otherwise I'd be investigating the IP myself. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 10:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

It fits Dereks1x's style far too much for that, and NrDg's history looks nothing like any of Dereks1x's socks many of whom I am all too familiar with.

Same guy, diff non IPs
Dear Jéské, sorry to bother, but remember this? 86.155.215.165, who later turned up as 81.157.100.12, is now working on Cantonese people both as 77.44.49.36 and 81.154.205.12. His edits are unsourced and entirely POV, and he's doing the same old ad-hominems on Talk:Cantonese people. My reversions of his OR have elicted an accusation of vandalism. I'm hesitant to call his accusations 'civil discourse' as it really appears to be neither. A glance at my contributions will show that I edit a variety of articles, including some serious academic ones, and that I do not make frivolous POV edits. His edits, OTOH, seem to revolve largely around Hakka and Cantonese, and are not only unsourced and unreferenced, but controversial, heavy-handed and show clear bias. InfernoXV (talk) 01:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to bring this up at AN/I and get help dealing with this; this guy is either on a dynamic IP or is switchng terminals. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 01:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Bring it up on ANI if it hasn't already (please provide a link to my talk page if possible). Don't keep reverting -- because 3RR goes both ways unfortunately. I'll keep tabs on it.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 23:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Cantonese people
You broke 3RR there. As an admin, you should know that adding unsourced material to an article (even repeatedly) is not vandalism, so it's not an exception to 3RR. Not only did you revert 4 times today in your content dispute, you extended the edit war further by asking another editor to revert for you as a proxy. Also not good. As you can see, I didn't block you even though I did block the IP editor; ordinarily I would block both parties to an edit war, but in this case I thought it would be better to suggest you just take it upon yourself to step away from the article for a while and cool off. Kafziel Talk 00:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I will. Thank you muchly for the warning, and I'll keep myself out of edit-wars as a participant in the future.  I asked for a full-prot at WP:RPP; I was hoping that it would be acted upon to stem the war. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 00:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Virginia Tech massacre
May I ask why you fully protected Virginia Tech massacre? An IP user - vandalized the article three times and  reverted the vandalism. All three edits were unquestionably vandalism - (1) adding "butt head", (2) adding "Cho was one messed up person." and "bold text", and (3) blanking a section and replacing it with "i dont know what this feature is but isnt this all just cleint sided so why should i get introuble if it doesnt do anything". Though there is a mild discussion on the talk page about the inclusion of some questionable content, it has not resulted in an edit war on the article. --B (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw a slow-mo edit war in progress between registered users spilling over from yesterday, not the vandalism. And please do not use the Plus sign at the top to make new threads; I have the COI Reports section at the bottom for a reason. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 22:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see what you are talking about, but only four reverts, the most recent of which was eight hours before the protection and a good conversation on the talk page? I don't know that there is any need for a protection, especially not one with an indefinite ending. --B (talk) 22:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If you feel the protection is a mistake, you have every right to unprotect it (if an admin) or ask me to unprotect it (if not). I don't mind. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 22:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Could you please unprotect Virginia Tech massacre? As a long-term editor of the article, I can remember several times that it has been semi-protected due to vandalism or editing disputes, but this is the first time in my memory that the article has been fully protected, and it seems unnecessary to me. The article is currently under  FAC review, so a few of us have been making cleanup edits as they come up in the review. In addition there was that spate of vandalism mentioned above, as well as a minor dispute over the very brief addition started yesterday, on which I'm hopeful we are close to consensus. --Sfmammamia (talk) 22:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The anon was using dynamic IPs - Short of calling Verizion (which I'd rather try to avoid because I'm rather nervous on the phone) and risking missing them by three hours (as the IP ranges are in NJ), protection was the only avenue. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 01:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Reverting talk comments on Talk:D&D
Regarding this edit on Talk:Dungeons & Dragons in which you reverted a comment. Sure, as you note, this isn't a forum. However, I don't believe we are supposed to be quite as strict in policing talk pages as articles proper. Reverting well intentioned, if inappropriate, talk comments seems overly harsh. Wouldn't it have been enough to reply with "This is not a forum. Wikipedia talk pages are for discussing improvements to their associated articles, not for discussing the subjects of the articles."? — Alan De Smet | Talk 16:02, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The user is currently on admin radars because she's using Wikipedia as a soc-net. While I will admit I could have been not so blunt about it, I left her a kinder note both answering her question and telling her Wikipedia isn't a forum. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 19:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * So long as this is a highly unusual thing. I did poke around in the user's edits, and they seem more than a little confused about Wikipedia.

Suspected V-Dash sock
A new user, SPD has made the exact same edits to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl that V-Dash did back in November. By that I mean this new user keeps changing the genre from CRPG to RPG, and changing the number of species.

Mega Man Discussion
Just to clarify, I was explaining to DarkFierceDeityLink that if Sonic and Metal Gear properties had no cameos in previous SSB games, then it makes no sense that Mega Man doing the same should be used as an argument as to why he is or isn't in Brawl. Your reply to me about WHY Sonic and Metal Gear properties weren't in the previous games (besides being something I already knew and have had to explain to confused people on the Talk Page in the past) didn't have much bearing on the actual point I was making; I was basically trying to explain to him that his argument made little sense without actually saying it that way and insulting him or anything.

A question regarding disputes
Hi. Recently someone asked me for help in a dispute between two parties, where one has accused the other of wikistalking him. After looking at the situation, I recommended they just drop it and go edit articles. However, the one editor that accused the other disputant of wikistalking (User:Ronz, if you'd like to know) has accused me of assuming bad faith. I fear this may be true, and I have a horrible feeling that I may have been biased towards another party. I hate to get involved, but what should I do now? Maser ( Talk! ) 05:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * My suggestion is to find someone who can be very neutral in the matter and has good negotiation skills to help you (if you decide to continue on), or find someone else willing to do it. If you can provide me a link to the conversation, I'll look into it. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 05:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The dispute in question is here. I'm rather inexperienced resolving disputes, but would like to be an administrator someday. What could I have done better in that situation? Maser  ( Talk! ) 06:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I could tell, your statements were mainly about the contributor, not the discussion. I have to agree with Ronz here - focus on contributions, not the editors who make them, or you'll just keep getting abused of bias. And do not be so hasty to misinterpret words. -Jéské ( Blah v·_·v ) 06:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you give me a specific thing I said that could have been more civil? Maser  ( Talk! ) 06:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * However, the one editor that accused the other disputant of wikistalking (User:Ronz, if you'd like to know) has accused me of assuming bad faith. (from above) She made no such accusation from what I had read. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 06:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I might have misinterpreted. This edit, specifically - Please question whether you're assuming bad faith on my part before responding further. Thanks. (from User talk:Ronz) I might have misworded it, I meant that she felt my view to be biased towards the other disputant. The problem I had wasn't that I was being uncivil and biased, but rather that I focused too much on mediating between the disputants, and not enough on the dispute. Maser  ( Talk! ) 06:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe you did misinterpret it, and I agree that you were focusing more on the disputants rather than the actual dispute, which gave an appearance of bias. It's not that rare of a mistake, nor is such a mistake the end of the world.  Learn from it and grow.  My suggestion right now is that you hand it off to someone else (other than me, please) before you inadvertently give someone a reason to make effigies. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 06:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Would it be a good idea to give this to the mediation committee at this time? I don't suspect so. Maser  ( Talk! ) 06:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I am one of the involved parties and would like to know what steps I can take to resolve this dispute. Anthon01 (talk) 08:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, Anthon, talk with Ronz, if she's willing to listen. Dialog gets more done than swords on Wikipedia. If she's not willing to listen, file a mediation. Second, Maser, if both parties consent to mediation, it's a good idea, especially if you've exhausted what you *can* do. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 08:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR

 * Thank you for the note and concern. I'll get right on documenting my criteria and procedure. -Jéské ( Blah  v^_^v ) 20:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
