Jamie, I have attempted to style it after many other File Storage services I have reviewed on Wikipedia. If there is anything else you feel I need to modify, please let me know as soon as you can. I would love to have our company represented on Wikipedia. Thanks, Mitch Matt Tsmitchman (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC).

A request
Hi Jamie. I noticed you were the only opposer in my RfA to further explain on my talk page your already very informative and helpful !vote. I hope it's not asking too much of you to request a review of my edits since my RfA at my editor review. I'd like to get as much input as possible on how I've improved since my RfA and how I can further improve, especially concerning the main issues (DougsTech, AfD participation, responding to opposition) that were brought up. If you have time, I'd really appreciate a review. Thanks. Tim meh  ( review me ) 00:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll look into that and might be able to provide a review. Glad to know that my comments were helpful. :-) Best, Jamie S93  be kind to newcomers 00:40, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Jamie, just reminding you that you have two weeks left to provide a review if it's not too much trouble. I really would appreciate one, especially from you because of your detailed criticisms and advice in the past. Tim  meh  ( review me ) 00:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry but at this point, I really can't promise to do a review. RL is about to become really busy for me, too. I could just do a relatively cursory ER for you, but whenever I do something like that, I always prefer instead to do a more thorough job. When I come on Wikipedia I generally do maintenance and some editing, so things like this usually slip my mind. Two weeks gives me some time, though, we'll see. :) Hope everything's going well with your editing endeavors. Jamie S93  18:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's no problem. I just got two reviews today, so if you aren't able to do one, that's perfectly OK. Tim  meh  ( review me ) 18:35, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Article, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emjaymj (talk • contribs) 03:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Emjaymj, I understand that you think the article Chromium polynicotinate is promotional. However, it doesn't qualify for being speedy deleted as a spam page; myself and another administrator both declined your speedy deletion tags, and leaving me a warning template is not going to get you anywhere. Have you considered trying to edit and improve the article yourself? Best, Jamie S93  be kind to newcomers 16:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Jamie,

This is from Studiedgenius. I am truly honored to have been invited to be a part of Christian music WikiProject. Thank you for your invitation. Just curious, other than placing the projects userbox on his or her editor's page, is there anything else I need to join. Also, I am here to help in whatever you need.(Studiedgenius (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC))

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

Edit war
Hi Jamie, noticed you were online as you were the last admin to pop up on my watch list. could use a block for edit warring, and if you feel that I deserve one, too, by all means block me as well. Best, →javért chat 19:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've blocked for 24 hours, since he appears to have broken 3RR after two warnings. You're fine since you only made 3 reverts. The reverting was reasonable, too, since the content Svsreeram added was promotional, but in the future you may wish to leave a more informative edit summary in case the user simply doesn't understand you.

Prevail Health Solutions
Hey Jamie, I wrote the article for Prevail health solutions with a lot of references about the company and their products. It shows that you have deleted the article, can you help me understand what else i have to produce to get the article back in wiki.

Thanks, Deepak —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dskaushik (talk • contribs) 21:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Deepak. I deleted the article as a result of this deletion discussion ("AfD"): Articles for deletion/Prevail Health Solutions. It looks like the article did have sources, but the organization failed to meet our notability guidelines. Four editors researched and agreed that the subject was not notable per Wikipedia's standards, and so I closed the discussion as "delete". Unfortunately, there's not much you can do at this point. PHS doesn't meet Wikipedia's requirements for general notability; and if you recreated the article at this point, it could be deleted as "recreation of deleted material" (as decided through a deletion discussion). If you wish to contest the deletion, DRV is an option. However, you might not be very successful since the company doesn't seem have enough external reliable source coverage to be deemed "notable". Hope this helps. :-) Jamie S93  be kind to newcomers 21:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Requested move James Anaya
Thanks JamieS93 for so promptly responding to request. All that happened is that I received e-mail notice of James Anaya's arrival in Australia, in which he was referred to only as James Anaya, with link to his biography page referring to himself as James Anaya.

On doing Wikisearch I found no article for James Anaya and only one for S James Anaya, which is a name not entirely consistent with Naming_conventions, and I find it hard to imagine talking about him or meeting up with him and calling him "S", or "S James"!

Will, howver, leave it with you! Again, thanks!


 * Just noted (and learned) from redlink above .. that to go direct to S James Anaya have to include fullstop after the S ie S. James Anaya! Not the easiest article name to use/find!! Bruceanthro (talk) 13:56, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Discussion logs
Sorry for not posting the logs, but there is some difficulty in abuse reports. Currently, there are only 3 active participants at abuse reports, JamesR, bsmithme, and myself. JamesE is working on the bot that will automatically archive and move the reports as necessary, while bsmithme and myself are handling the cleanup of abuse reports. bsmithme and I have been communicating through AIM, so there are minimal logs on WIkipedia. Would it be possible for you to ask bsmithme about the discussion on no longer using talk pages? We came to the conclusion through AIM. Sorry for any difficulty I might have caused.

I toned it down.
I did tone down the rhetoric on my warning. The user is currently continuing the streak of creating non contextual articls past your requests. I do feel the level of warning was warranted however as I see one person prior to you counseled him on the same thing and four articles later we were still having the same issues. I was not trying to bite him though and nonsense was probably unnec. harsh.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a warning is definitely warranted in this situation, since I just noticed that he's continuing to create a group of incomplete articles, and apparently not checking his talkpage. Not sure about this case; I usually try letting some time elapse in case the author didn't realize what they were doing, but it may call for either improving or deleting a big group of pages after some time has passed. I'd usually rather save articles than delete them, but I'll just keep an eye on this user and hopefully will be able to eventually deal with it (if I'm still around). As I view it, it doesn't exactly hurt the encyclopedia to let a bunch of short articles stay in the mainspace for an extra hour (unlike attack pages or copyvios), because I'd rather the author have a chance to realize their mistake.

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Heart/ Annas Allaf
A tag has been placed on Michael Heart/ Annas Allaf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Jeff G.

Undeletion request
Hi. Please could you undelete Talk:British Birds Rarities Committee\FAC? This page exists to enable a discussion on the outstanding points resulting from a recent failed FA nomination. The FA nomination as now been closed, and so users cannot edit that page. There are three editors waiting to add contributions on topic within the discussion, but they now don't have anywhere to make those contributions. If there is a better way of achieving the same result, please let me know what that is. Thanks SP-KP (talk) 21:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I've restored it. As long as somebody has a decent use for it, the page doesn't have to be deleted. :) From an outsider's perspective, it just looked like an unnecessary copy of the FAC; sorry about the trouble. Can't think of any other method of doing what you described, since a sub-page would probably work fine. BTW, I moved the page from "\" to "/", since subpages are formatted with a forwardslash.

 * Yeah, I'd say it would be best to create the article on the day (or 1 day before, for the sake of public readers) it releases. And if the single doesn't chart much within a month or two, that bridge can be crossed when we get there: the article can then either be redirected to the album, or brought to AfD for discussion of notability. As it stands, the article has been fully protected until the 14th, so you could just stick with that. <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  21:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, yes. In this case, there's no guarantee that it will be kept in the end. ;) IMO it's best to create an (at least temporary) article for the sake of readers who are interested in the subject. The single might be successful, or might not. And if it turns out that the notability is not long-term, it can be redirected to the album page in due course. So, if the content is eventually deleted, I wouldn't blame the author in this case. :) <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  21:26, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I just read this discussion at your talk page. If it were me, I'd still create the article upon the release date, but you may want to reconsider the idea or give it some thought. The view JD represented (at your talk page) is a more policy-based mindset, and probably the norm for most of the community. My view (under the important condition that you have good reliable sources) is based on the "readers first" concept, something that I believe is important and should always been considered to one degree or another. The idea "have a decent article out there for the readers, and deal with the notability question once the charts come in" might not be agreed upon by everybody. However, I've worked a lot with articles and notability, and to me it's the most reasonable idea. Otherwise, we'll have some frustrated newcomers who want to write an article for the song. It's proper to stick to a good standard of notability in most cases, but rules should be forfeited every once in a while, if it's the most reasonable choice. A high-profile band's latest single, if it's confirmed through some reliable sourcing, deserves an article. And if it doesn't chart, people can talk about it and nuke the page if necessary. ;) But make sure that you have a) reliable sources about "Strawberry Swing", and b) be prepared for the possibility that it might lack notability (later on) for its own long-term article.

Subhuti Dharmananda, Michael Tierra, Christopher Hobbs
Please reconsider. The only credential for Dharmananda, apart from having a degree and owning a company, would be teaching at "Platonic school of Herbal Studies". The other "faculty members", Michael Tierra and Christopher Hobbs (herbalist) have been added in 2007 by KSvaughan2 as a part of the same advertisement campaign. These people are simply a company of practitioners trying to promote themselves. This is a blatant ad. There are thousands of such practitioners. They would belong to a page "List of alternative medicine practitioners in California", if such page existed. Btw. Tierra and Hobbs are both speedy candidates (I didn't tag them yet). Kokot.kokotisko (talk) 07:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The purpose of speedy deletion is generally for cases where deletion doesn't require reasoning, debate or agreement among editors. To be honest, this sounds like a point that has to be persuaded. You could be very right in your assessment of those articles (I personally haven't done a notability search), but the Dharmananda article is not a speedy candidate as it stands. G11 is primarily used for two purposes: 1) alleviating content that has a strong positive POV in the literal verbage, or 2) a page that's being promotional by only having external links and basic info ("for more information, call 555..."). Like I said, there's WP:PEACOCK problems, but an average reader wouldn't go "wow, the author of this article is trying to be awfully positive about this guy". Since you're also challenging the article(s) notability, it sounds like an AfD is the next option. Present your rationale at AfD, and that way you can get the input of others. I read the article again and reconsidered the speedy decline, but I still hold to my initial decision. I hope that clears things up.

 * Thanks for your explanation, it's been a long time since I did something on WP. Ksvaughan2, herself an initiated webmistress with an online store, seems to have PR reasons only for being a WP editor. She carries out her own business presentation on her user page, which is of course completely O.K., but for this reason or that, she also keeps adding to WP her herbalist buddies from California. Nobody cares about them enough to edit them, but I seem to care enough to AfD them. No. 1 US ethnobotanist is (objectively) James_A._Duke. If her intention is to improve WP in general, why doesn't she begin with him?

Irish Countrysports and Country Life
Jamie,

I would like to ask you specfically how you reckoned our Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine piece lacked notability. I have reviewd some of your own submissions compared to ours and on a simple browser count ICS&CL comes out well ahead of them!

However I consider ICS&CL is notable because not only is it Ireland's premier hunting, shooting, fishing and country lifestyle magazine but also Ireland's longest continuously published magazine of its type or in fact any type. Although it serves a primarily Irish market through its companion portal www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com it serves a fairly large international audience who wish to know about country sports in Ireland.

 * Hi Albert. The article was originally tagged for "proposed deletion" because an editor believed the subject to be non-notable per our notability guidelines for magazines. Nobody contested the proposal over 7 days, so I deleted the article based on the process. Since you contested deletion, though, I've undeleted the page. I would recommend, however, that you add information (backed by reliable sources) that might prove that the subject is notable. The standard of "notability" on Wikipedia is objective, so take a look at this specific list of criteria for magazine notability, and it may help you.

Sanctus
So wait, I read it and stuff, but maybe I'm just sleepy. What is the issue that's holding up the Sanctus Real GA? You can of course drop the answer here instead of my talk. Dan, the CowMan (talk) 09:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * (TPS) I agree with Dan, I don't see the problem. I have left a comment on the GA review, because I expect a good article to have a list of released/charting singles from the artist.  Royal broil  12:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * ;) I've dealt with all of the points in the GA review, except one. I believe it's more of a difference of opinion rather than a "problem", but it's the Singles list (under the "focused" section of the GA review). I basically replied saying "I can't agree", and pinged Zeagler about it. He's been less active recently, so he might not get back to the review yet.

a question
Hi jamie, I had written a page on Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi and it was deleted by you. the reason you gave was G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: also, mostly a copyright infringement of http://www.2020vp.com/aboutus/index.php. How can one get around this? I am working with Dr. Eslambolchi on creating his Wiki page and we have not had much success so far as everytime it gets deleted. You can email me at malinirao13@gmail.com for further clarification. Would appreciate a speedy response. Thank you
 * Hi there. On Wikipedia, our main goal is to write a "neutral" encyclopedia source; and thus, we cannot accept material that sounds either positive or negative about a certain subject. For example, "Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi is one of the greatest minds of the 21st century [...] His illustrious and unparalleled career began in 1986..." is not coming from a "neutral point-of view"; instead, it sounds slanted in a positive direction about the subject. More importantly, the article's text was copied from your website which is fully copyrighted. Wikipedia is a open content website, so all contributions must be in compliance with with the GFDL. This, along with the fact that the text was promotional, is the reason that I deleted the page.


 * You mentioned that you work for Eslambolchi; please note that editing with a conflict of interest is generally discouraged. However, if you wish to recreate the page, remember these points: 1) Use your own words, without copying from the website, to give a basic description of him.  2) Keep the description fairly simple and netural. It's best to just state facts, such as "he works for such-and-such company, and received a such-and-such award" without sounding overly positive about the person. 3) Please be sure to back up your facts with reliable sources, using      tags within the article. 4) Finally, since Wikipedia has standards for determining whether an individual is "notable" enough for an article, you should probably consult the Wikipedia:Notability (people) page to see if the Dr is notable from an objective standard.


 * Also, Your first article is a helpful page to take a look at, too. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  17:58, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Question
"In several cases, he has participated in situations and–for lack of a better description–only made them worse (adding drama, unnecessary contention, etc.) This is not what I want to see in an admin. The current (#1) oppose is an example of this"

You have stated this. I was wondering if there were any specific comments in that RfB that do the above, or are you referring to all of them? I ask simply because I do not remember any drama from that specific RfB (there was an RfB that was very drama filled about the same time, however). Ottava Rima (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not one particular comment, but the persistence of them all. I'm all for pointing out faulty RfX rationales and bluntly/politely giving somebody "what for" with a particularly weird oppose, but Matt unfortunately took this to an extended level that became unhelpful. People like to throw around the "badgering" term too much, but I think this was an example of it. I think his comments only made the situation, an already hectic RfB, a more contentious place. I agreed with Anonymous Dissident at oppose #28. Matt's behavior in Julian's RfB is only an example of my gut feel, and I don't think I'd oppose over that issue alone. I'll have to think over this one, but I do agree with OwenX that his behavior there (and for me, in general from what I've seen) is concerning. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  13:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't mean the above. I can understand the above. What I mean - were there any ANI, AN, WT:B, etc, threads on the matter that I may have missed? That is normally where the drama tends to go, and I only remember MBisanz's RfB going into that level. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:49, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Nah, I don't think so. The RfB was only contained within itself (no outside ANI threads), but it was just especially "high-activity" because Julian is so well-known. And a very well-known editor in a split-opinion RfX inevitably attracts drama and dispute from both sides. I actually think that MBisanz's RfB wasn't as stressful/drama-causing with the candidate, even though there was a WP:BN discussion about the closure, as I recall. <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  13:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Perhaps I just glaze over at the RfX and pay more attention to the noticeboards and that is why I see the MBisanz's RfB as dramatic. Who knows. Anyway, thanks for clarifying - I thought I was missing a large chunk of any dispute. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:08, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a small request - since you are neutral, are there any possible questions that you could ask? It would be nice for the neutrals to put up some questions so that there can be a few more answers completed by the end of the first day. I mention the neutrals, as they are the ones that seem to be on the edge and perhaps some answers on key topics may tip them way one or the other. Thanks. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:59, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll think about it. Although unrelated to my concerns, I've posted one question that came to mind. <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  16:26, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Main page image protection
Hello! Please remember to protect an image (after uploading it locally if it's stored at Commons) before placing it in a DYK queue or otherwise adding it to the main page. The cascading protection feature no longer functions reliably, so File:Palms - Southern Pacific Railroad Depot.jpg appeared on the main page unprotected (and therefore subject to vandalism) for more than ninety minutes.

Undeletion request
Can you please undelete STUDENT_SENATE_FOR_CALIFORNIA_COMMUNITY_COLLEGES?

I spent SOOO long on it and to find it deleted really set me off. It was my first ever page that I created and since I was a statewide student representative actually A PART of this organization it really reflected badly that you deleted it out of no where. I finally discovered just now why you deleted it and you said because "it was a direct copy off of a powerpoint presentation" ON OUR OWN SITE! Well, I didnt know I had to give my own organization kudos for something we created. Furthermore, I wouldnt know how to source it anyway. But I will learn if you undelete it and show me how? :P I would seriously appreciate it and the 2.6 million community college students of California would also. Thank you very much.

 * Promotional or shared user accounts are prohibited, FYI. Your article very likely didn't meet WP:N and WP:V, our Notability and Verifiability guidelines (respectively). This isn't craigslist- there are criteria for inclusion. -- King Öomie 14:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea what you just said. Please restate that in laymen's terms. I THINK what you are trying to say is that our 30-student council, made up of students ELECTED, by 110 California Community College Student Body Presidents, from ALL OVER CALIFORNIA, is not NOTABLE? Is that what you are trying to say? Because if that is the case, who are you to say it is not? The Board of Governors of the California Community College Chancellors Office as well as .... THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, recognize us as a legal entity. I sincerely hope I misunderstood what you meant by "Notability and Verifiability." If the only thing that was need was a simple citation to our studentsenateccc.org website then so be it. Why would you delete something instead of just copying and pasting the link in there where it needs to go?? I mean, you went through all the trouble of LOCATING it... why not just place it in there?? Can you please just put it back and put the link where it needs to go? Or replace the page, and I will go and do it? It really is no big deal. I just dont know all the codes and stuff that I used to edit the page. It took me like LITERALLY 8 HOURS to do it.
 * Sorry, I hadn't gotten back to you yet. Let me try to explain this from the ground up.


 * The entire Wikipedia website is under the GFDL copyright license; that license gives any other website the permission to redistribute our work, as long as Wikipedia is given credit for it. This means that almost all of our text and image content must be newly-created material using your own unique words, and not from fully-copyrighted websites or sources, or else it would technically be a copyright violation to that external website.
 * Your article Student Senate for California Community Colleges was heavily copied from this url (I found it through a Google search). Since that url does not appear to state that it's under a GFDL-compatible license, we assume that it's fully copyrighted, like many, many websites are.
 * Even if you give a link or attribution to a website that you copied from, it's still not acceptable to have large portions of copyrighted text in articles. Please see WP:NFC for info.
 * I'm sorry that you had to work on this text to have it deleted—I really am sorry. But it still looks like it was a copyright violation, so I'm afraid we can't allow it; it's not just my own opinion, this is a legal matter. Btw, just so you know: whenever you edit a page, there is a notice right above the "save page"/"show preview" buttons that says: Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted ... You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You may not have noticed this, I understand, but you were already warned about the copyright issue.


 * Also, I'm not sure if the student senate is "notable" or not – again, it's not my own opinion, but instead I'm going by the Wikipedia guidelines laid out here: WP:ORG. If you want to recreate the page, make sure to add several reliable sources that discuss SSCCC (reliable/trustworthy websites that are not related to the organization itself) as references, using the  coding within the article. The Google News Archive search is helpful for finding sources from news/media websites. Finally, make sure to write it from a neutral point-of-view. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  13:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jamie, I SINCERELY appreciate your candor and warmth in what you wrote. I know it wasn't personal. I also understand better now thank you. I do want to know if you can at least email me the coding of the page so that I may redo it with all the necessary edits as per your request. This will help me save hours and hours of work I would have to redo since I am not a computer savy individual. Secondly, (just FYI, the powerpoint presentation I took the large portions of the article from, is not copywritten... and neither is the website). In fact, the powerpoint was written by a dear and close friend and colleague of mine that was ecstatically DELIGHTED that I used her presentation. Her name is Vice Chancellor Linda Michalowski. I am no lawyer, but if the powerpoint she created, that I used for this article, is NOT copywritten, and I indeed ALSO give her credit for writing it, AND I ALSO put enough "reliable/trustworthy" website references in the article, then can it be reposted? Please help me out. I am just a college student really trying to give the students of California a voice as a student leader. I do thank you and have a wonderful weekend. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.121.244.102 (talk) 07:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Katrina Show
WHY DID YOU DELETE MY PAGE IT'S REAL I'M IN IT!!!!! HELLO????
 * Well, on Wikipedia we have certain notability standards for inclusion. For instance, U2 is a very notable band, because they are quite well-known and have received worldwide acclaim. On the other hand, if you decided to start a band in your garage today, it would not be "notable" enough. It's a similar situation with the article you wrote; I'm not questioning whether or not the YouTube videos/channel actually exists. The issue is that it's likely non-notable for inclusion in this encyclopedia. If it somehow has received national recognition or a good deal of media coverage, then it might meet the notability standards. To determine whether or not the topic is notable, WP:WEB is a good place to start. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  13:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, the article was originally split from a section of the Camborne town article. Another user tagged the page as a copyvio, because a good section was copied from . Turns out that the lead of the article was not in violation, though. At the time of deletion, I thought I had searched certain phrases of the lead and it turned up on another copyrighted website.

Plan to recreate "Siberians" as Redirect Page to "Indigenous Peoples of Siberia".
If you have any objection, please tell me as soon as possible. ---GooglePedia12 22:12, 8 October 2009 (UTC)GooglePedia12
 * I would object to this, because Siberian is not a synonym for indigenous peoples of Siberia, and the indigenous peoples are not even a majority in Siberia. It would be like redirecting "Canadian" to a page about the indigenous people of Canada.  It looks like he's already created the page however.  -- <B>Soap</B> Talk/Contributions 22:19, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Soap. As it stands, the term "Siberian" redirects to the nation. Since the article about Siberian people ("Siberians") was PRODded and deleted because the topic was essentially nonexistent, you actually might be right about that redirect. However, I'm not sure it's accurate, so I might bring the redirect to RfD for discussion.

RichGirl
Your action of not deleting RichGirl (album) is puzzling. Not least because as an administrator i thought you of all editors would be aware of the need and importance of sources. This article requires extensive sources because the group/artist is borderline on notability. However you declined the speedy deletion citing that the album is soon to be released. Neither of the TWO sources given actually contain the release date and neither give an insite into the album. Without independent coverage, a confirmed name, a confirmed track listing or cover-art how can you justify not deleting this article? (Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC))
 * AfD consensus for deleting an article per WP:CRYSTAL, by default, is a generally temporary decision. Oftentimes future albums which do not have a title are deleted and recreated a few months later when it's sufficiently confirmed and discussed in reliable sources. Thus, that AfD is moot. The RichGirl album article was originally deleted in August. Now it's October, with the release supposedly slated for November. One-month off albums are not commonly deleted via AfD, or at least there's a good chance that the previous decision is now "old consensus". You're right that the article lacks RSs, and maybe the sources aren't out there (I haven't really searched). I'd rather have fresh consensus in this case, purely due to the time lapse - I encourage you to open a second AfD, and we'll see how it turns out. :) It's quite possible that it's best off deleted, although I still tend to think that G4 didn't apply here because we're relying on consensus that was partially dependent on the "future" aspect of the subject.

Hello JamieS93. The IP editor 64.222.163.104 whose case you handled at WP:AN3 has come back twice more to the article, each time re-inserting his inappropriate POV edit. I was thinking of a block but wanted to consult you first. EdJohnston (talk) 05:23, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I was coming to revisit the issue. I've blocked for 48 hours and posted the result to WP:AN3. Thanks for letting me know. By the way, I'm new to the noticeboard (it seemed that you all might need an extra hand), so let me know if I make some mistake with the system, although it looks pretty simple. :) <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  15:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's good to see more admins showing up there! WT:AN3 is open for any discussions or questions about the process. EdJohnston (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Heading text
This is going to sound slightly odd but, you were recently talking to User:Bevo74 and now his Userpage and talk page have been blancked by an IP whose only contributions so far are those two edits. He added a red link, 'Temnplate:Gone' so I was wondering what the real situation is, has he left. I don't really know how to tell and if he hasn't left then why go to the trouble of adding a template (with the wrong markup)? 95jb14 (talk) 09:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The IP is likely Bevo himself while logged out, so I'm leaving it alone. Although I went ahead and sent him a quick email about it. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  12:45, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I thought that might be the case. PS I forgot to add a title to the section, oops. 95jb14 (talk) 14:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC).

New Health Corp
I have nominated New Health Corp for AfD as I believe it to be non-notable and also promotional. As well, there are synthesis issues. Basket of Puppies 22:21, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, good to see that. It's spam-ish with the list of products, etc., but not speediable IMO (and I come from a fairly firm standard against promotion). Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  22:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/66.134.115.34
Instead of archiving it like you did, can you please merge it, as I asked in the comments section? It needs to be merged, it was created by accident separate of the main case.—  Dæ dαlus <sup style="color:green;">Contribs  00:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I got a bit mixed up at first, until I realized that this was the IP's first block. The case was a duplicate and seems unnecessary, so I've redirected it to Mdphd2012's case and made note of the IP's block at Mdphd's archive. I didn't delete it because it was mentioned in 66.134's block summary, and redirects are best to retain history, and makes it easier to track down what happened.

My rfa
What do I have to do for the page to be created? And what am I doing wrong?Accdude92 (talk) (sign) 14:29, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Please follow the instructions listed here. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 14:31, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Follow the instructions at WP:RFA/N. The subpage must be created first before being transcluded at the main WP:RFA page with brackets. Are you aware of the general community standards at RfA, by the way? You only have 600 edits, which is typically considered not enough experience to be an administrator, so your RfA would likely be unsuccessful. If you wish to continue, though, follow the steps at the linked page. Don't be surprised if several people start opposing you due to lack of experience, though. Best wishes, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  14:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Move
I placed the deletion tag since I would've moved the page anyways, but there is that nagging issue that is all to well known. I don't think it would be controversial since most people wouldn't look at the site, and other pages on this site have those accent marks. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, RM is always the safest method, but I'd be fine with deleting the redirect to let you go ahead with the move. Since both are linked over multiple pages, it would be best to get the delete/move done over a short period of time. You online?

 * I am now, and will be for the next few hours. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 18:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅, move the page as you wish. :) Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  19:08, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done and thanks. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

UnBlocking request for IP Addresses of BOLT Browser
Hi,

I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. (http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.

Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:

"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."

I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.

Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.

Regards

 * It looks like another admin just unblocked the IP address, so I believe it should work now. Let me know if there are any further issues. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  13:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

IP reverting edits
Hey Jamie, I don't want to be a pain in the neck, but I have an IP that is making redundant edits on The Chariot (band) and I thought I would notify you so we can avoid an edit war. I have already undone his edit once--it is a genre/style issue, go figure--and he promptly reverted that. Basically, the IP is making it say "Christian metalcore band" when I believe it should be "Christian metal band"; I believe the genre mentioned in the lead should always be a broad definition and then have style goes in the infobox, where it already says metalcore. Thanks, -- Noj r (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I undid the IP's second edit, since I agree that it's best to just say "Christian metal". I also dropped him a note on his talkpage about WP:BRD. <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  20:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Jamie. I'll keep you updated. -- Noj r (talk) 22:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Move Request
Hi Jamie, Would you please link "Vancouver chamber choir" to "Vancouver Chamber Choir"? You've kindly answered my delete request to have the "Vancouver chamber choir" removed but it'd be nice if it can be redirected to the latter (i.e., "Vancouver Chamber Choir") instead. Thanks in advance for all your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myzik (talk • contribs) 23:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. :) I've created a redirect from the uncapitalized page to the "Vancouver Chamber Choir" article. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  01:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, this is a comment about taking further actions to specify "Siberians" so it makes sense.
Hi, I know you were involved in "Siberians". I propose a more specific redirect; one that redirects not JUST to the article "Siberians", but points to the section about the Demographics of Siberia. Thanks for your commitment to the redirect, ---GooglePedia12 01:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)GooglePedia12. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GooglePedia12 (talk • contribs)
 * That's not a bad idea. :) The discussion has already been closed, but I don't think it would be controversial if you'd re-target the redirect to either the "demographics" section, or the Demographics of Siberia article (which would probably be better). Either option seems pretty reasonable to me. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  16:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

The RfA was still open when I commenced editing to add my oppose. Crafty (talk) 20:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I know. You made the edit within 30 seconds after the closure, so I figured you didn't see it. But once an RfA has been archived, it's archived, so I went ahead and reverted. Either way, it's right in the rev history. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  20:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Katerenka's RfA
Hello Jamie. Before I discuss the subject, I just want to say that I haven't meet you before I started getting involved in RfA's, but it's apparent to me you're a very respectable figure. So it's a pleasure to meet you. In the above mentioned RfA, you mentioned a list of editors who don't normally visit RfAs and had !voted in Katerenka's. I just wanted to let you know that a couple of them !voted in my RfA and I don't think they are only there to support Katerenka. Thanks.--TParis00ap (talk) 01:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice meeting you - thanks for the kind words. I tend to agree about the RfA !voters, that it's probably not a big deal. It's evident that a certain group of friends, like I said, have come to support two of their friends' RfAs, but I'm thinking that a couple of others are simply getting more involved in RFAs these days. So there's not really a direct connection. Best, <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  12:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of the problem at Chuck Biscuits.  Them From  Space  04:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've gotta head off to bed soon, but I think the article is in a stable state. It hasn't been confirmed either way, but based on the sources, I'm presenting it as basically a suspected hoax. If you or somebody could keep an eye on this (info will probably change soon as new reports come in), that'd be great. <font style="color:#4682b4">Jamie <font style="color:#50C878">S93  04:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
