Re: List of cities in Japan
Sorry, I've never edited on Wikipedia, so I didn't know about talk pages.

I hope you actually read my thoughts and views on this subject, because I really do believe the old configuration was more helpful, and I don't want to start some sort of virtual war with you.

The reason I want to keep the prefectures separate is because it's easier look for certain cities in certain prefectures, as well as being able to compare cities within the same prefecture, which can't be done when they are all in one list. I realize there are both positives and negatives to both configurations, but I personally think that having it all in one list is too similar to the "List of Japanese cities by population" page. Most of the people who come to the "List of cities in Japan" page do so for a more comprehensive list, which is usually because they are interested in Japan and studying about Japan. I think its much more convenient to have them separate and comparable by prefecture, that way those who want a more comprehensive list can come to this page, while those who are just looking for a more general list can check the Largest Cities page, which still features a large list of 110 cities, and can be arranged by prefecture as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.103.157 (talk) 21:13, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Deleting List of gestures
Hello, JBrown23. You recently proposed List of gestures for deletion. Although I don't think the page has been PRODed before, this page was created by merging content from the article that was discussed at Articles for deletion/Types of gestures. Therefore, I think it would be better to nominate the page at Articles for deletion rather than attempting to delete it via prod. I'm going to remove the PROD tag; let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 04:01, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks for the heads up. --JBrown23 (talk) 11:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

14. amendment is being considered for deletion
I noticed that you nominated 14. amendment for speedy deletion, but it was declined due to some technicality. (Nothing is ever simple on Wikipedia... this place excels at unnecessary complexity.) Anyway, I nominated for deletion via the Redirects for discussion (RfD) process, which is something the admin closing your deletion nomination could/should have told you about. There is now a deletion discussion here, and you are invited to leave your comments. Senator2029&#8239;•&#8239;talk 10:39, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Hello it would have been most appropriate if you had consulted the community via its talk page before your move of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 article. There was a clear reason as to why the article was so named -- it is the official name used by Samsung and technology publications. By moving the article, you have not taken in consideration WP’s long-held convention regarding article names of consumer products. I request an immediate revert of your move. Since you seem to be new to WP, I will forget what you have done. If you do not comply, I will request the move from an admin, and your actions will be constantly monitored for future unapproved article moves. Thank you --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 12:53, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * You use argument from authority based on your user account age, I don't think your threat at the end is appropriate civil tone, you don't seem to be interested in debating the matter either since you've already made up your mind on what is right, and on top of that you believe disagreeing requires punishment, in which case maybe you should follow WP:BOLD and just do the move yourself assuming you have the editorial rights to do so. Would you be interested in the rationale I mentioned for the move, or the fact that I've consulted all the external links, including Samsung's, which all mentioned it simply as "Galaxy Note 10.1?" I provided the rationale during the move with link to a Wikipedia policy, so it would be nice if you'd provide one to support your argument as well. However, I do not feel strongly on the issue and if you'd choose one outcome or the other I would be fine with it. Would that be fine with you? Sorry about the irritation caused. --JBrown23 (talk) 13:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It has been a long-standing convention that the manufacturer be included in the title. In this case, "Samsung" should be included, per, , , , and . However, I am interested in your rationale, as I have had those thoughts before. Nevertheless, the least you could have done was to engage in a discussion with other Wikipedians about a potential rename. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 23:39, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of System76 for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article System76 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/System76 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 template from the top of the article. RJaguar3 &#124; u &#124; t 05:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
