Hullo Jeeny! You have been very useful in the writing of this article. Whenever you can, please come back. There is still a work for you there! Misunderstandings are common everywhere!--Lusala lu ne Nkuka Luka 20:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

HI-5
No pun intended. Thank you very much for the barnstar! I appreciate it. - Rjd0060 22:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I think the pun would be appropriate. You deserve that barnstar and more! Thank you! ~Jeeny (talk) 22:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, I didn't even realize it was from you until just now! I actually meant the HI-5 as a joke but then I see that it actually fits on this page because you already have 4 "HI" headings.  Thank you very much.    - Rjd0060 22:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL! You're welcome very much! ~Jeeny (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * YGM, and thanks! - Rjd0060 22:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to explain to you why my initial block was shorter than you expected. Like I said, I wasn't aware of the past history of the editor until after I issued the block. I noticed the personal attacks occurring not because of the WP:ANI thread, but because of the uhh... interesting edit summaries going by while I was RC patrolling. The length of the block is something I would normally issue for somebody who has more than just a couple of edits, which the editor appeared to have had. However, when I did take a closer look, I found the WP:ANI thread and made the post I did because I was too tired to spend the hour or so that it would have taken me to figure out what was going on. My intention was to stop the harassment then and now and then let some other admin extend the block or I would look into it further after I got some much needed sleep. Anyways, I hope that explains to you why I did what I did. -- Gogo Dodo 05:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Aww, you don't have to explain to me. I was purposely over-reacting because I saw him deleting and vandalising user pages, user talk pages, and on and on. I don't care about the personal attacks toward me. It was the disruption being done to Wikipedia itself. I felt helpless seeing him going bonkers...and messing with other editors, articles, talk pages, etc. Then I noticed the thread on AN/I and posted that hysterical post, but I was acting in a sarcastic way. (My humor does not translate well over the internet) Part of my humour/personality is to make things bigger than they are, only to be funny, though. It makes me look like the one who's bonkers, though (even though I may be sometimes). I'm sorry for acting so confrontational, which I really didn't mean. Like I said, I felt so helpless by seeing it happening right before my eyes, and feared more damage to others and articles, more so than myself. :/ Thank you, though, for taking the time to explain to me, though you needn't have, I really do understand. ;) ~Jeeny (talk) 06:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. =) If you do happen to see a situation that needs immediate administrator attention, Administrator intervention against vandalism is a better spot to report trouble that it obvious.  The Incident Noticeboard is for more complex things or things that don't need immediate attention.  Many administrators monitor WP:AIV so action is usually fairly quick. -- Gogo Dodo 00:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I was being lazy because I hate making a report, so posted where there was already a thread. I'll keep that in mind if that happens again, which I really hope does not. I felt so helpless. It was the first, and only, time I wished I were an admin. lol. Thanks again. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 00:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:Hi
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. If it succeeds, I hope that I can help you with administrative tasks; I don't plan on going rouge. :P Either way, you'll be getting some thankspam in a couple of days. Love, Neran e i   (talk) 14:40, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Please reference the above (which you just referred to as the basement) on this page, so someone can find them. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk&#124;contribs) 00:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL. I did. I was interupted. :) Plus, I can't spell. :/ Thanks! ~Jeeny (talk) 00:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

French
''Oui, c'est vrai! Actuellement, je traduis qqch.'' (*in English:Yes, it's true! Right now, I'm translating something.) It's to keep me from speaking French to people on en.wiki, and to do it on fr.wiki! Unfortunately, I don't know which instance he/she is referring to. Amitiès, Neran e i   (talk) 01:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL! Je n'ai aucune idée! My French is very limited though. As you can probably tell. ;p Amitiès, ~Jeeny (talk) 01:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Moi aussi; j'attends la réponse de l'utilatrice. (*Me too, I'm waiting for a reply from the user.) Your French is quite alright, actually! Amitiès, Neran e i   (talk) 01:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merci! ~Jeeny (talk) 01:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

HI
Am I wrong with this whole work permit thing? I really don't see the problem. - Rjd0060 02:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, I don't know. I didn't look at the article he was talking about. But, I noticed s/he was refering to refs. So, therefore the welcome. (I'm watching TV, the new vampire series Moonlight. lol) ~Jeeny (talk) 02:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. I've sent you some nonimportant email, again. - Rjd0060 02:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Over-exuberant revert
I do not mind your arguing your personal viewpoint about the photo. I do mind your reverting all of the edits in the lynching article which addressed the issue of justifying lynching without explaining what it was, who it happened to most often and is utterly unsourced. You may have saved yourself some time by reverting all of the edits that corrected the lynching article but you did not add value. A judicious edit is one thing. What you did is something entirely different. If you don't want to take the time to edit only what concerns you, perhaps you will leave it alone. Thank you. Skywriter 11:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Copyright Violations
Please respond to the fact that the photograph that you have insisted remain on the lynching page is a direct violation of recent copyright by the authors of the book and web site Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America

Details are on the talk page of the lynching in the united states.

Thank you. Skywriter 18:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not a copyright violation. The essays in the book are copyrighted, but the images cannot be because they were PUBLISHED before 1923. Just because someone compiled them and published a book that contains those images, does not mean they now own the copyright to those images. They could use the images in their book because they were in the public domain. ~Jeeny (talk) 03:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Big Brother 9
Have you heard that CBS might put big Brother on in Late January early February due to the writer's guild strike, so if it lasts into next year they might put it on around that time. ON the U.S. Big Brother page they got links to the newspaper websites that are talking about this. Think a Big Brother 9 page should be started. I'll start one if you think it should be started. The editor formally known as Seth71 01:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That seems premature, somewhat crystal balleriffic. Wryspy 20:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

After thinking about it that is what it seems like and I guess one shouldn't be made till it's confirmed. The editor formally known as Seth71 01:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Like my Prince dedicated signature. I'm changing my signature back to plain Seth71 tomorrow. The editor formally known as Seth71 01:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, it's too long. But, good to "see" you. Are you watching Kid Nation on Wednesday nights? Or the Amazing Race on Sundays? ~Jeeny (talk) 23:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

The amazing race. Seth71 19:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hiding in the shadows again?
Haven't seen you out and about here, you seem to be having a few problems as evident from the above comments? - Rjd0060 20:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, not this time, just turned the computer back on after it being off for about 7 or so hours. lol. That image makes me cringe, both in design, and to think that is what Wikipedia is all about. LOL :) ~Jeeny (talk) 23:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Get a look at this. It is a first for me! - Rjd0060 04:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, I clicked on your other link, and guess it was a deleted message. I was so confused. Will look now at the new link. ~Jeeny (talk) 04:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, Rjd, I'd back off if I were you. This is friendly advice. If it ain't true, and you know it isn't, (I know you're not a sock) then so be it. He seems upset, continuing to post policy is kinda inflaming, if you know what I mean. :) I haven't looked into the problem he's been having and speaking of, but I can see just by the diff, that he is frustrated. ~Jeeny (talk) 04:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I know. I didn't plan on saying anything else after the user deleted it.  I just felt that I had the right to explain myself, after that accusation.  Another day on the Wiki!! -Rjd0060 04:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, warnings can be deleted, but the SOCK vio should not be. The admin Jossi asks that it remain there. Sock vio cases are different, than warning vandals, 3RR, etc. I restored it, but I'm not going to fight over it. Let them duke it out from now on. If he deletes it again, oh well. :) Yep, just another day on Wiki in Wonderland. ;p ~Jeeny (talk) 04:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I know the SSP tags (like Template:Socksuspectnotice) are not to be deleted, but this is just a notice. I think it can be removed.  I don't really care about this particular case though.  I'm with you, not going to be any more involved. Rjd0060 05:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know, but if you look at the history of this account, it was created and immediately voted in an AfD. That is as good as it gets for proof of abusive sockpuppetry. Well he's blocked as a sock now anyway. ~Jeeny (talk) 05:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I did look at that first. This is confusing to me.  I asked the admin . - Rjd0060 05:15, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When someone creates an account, and the same day votes in an AfD, then that is proof that it is not a new user, and it looks to me that it was created just to vote. That is abuse, in this case a case was not needed to be filed. Lets see what the admin says. I'm interested too. But, I trust my gut on this one, it was obvious just taking a few minutes to look after I got your link. ~Jeeny (talk) 05:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I know it was obvious. Abusive, disruptive, etc..  But that specific notice left on the page just seems like any other notice left, and those are allowed to be removed.  Since the admin requested that it not be removed, thats where the problems came in. - Rjd0060 05:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * AHA! LOL, "restoring warnings constitutes harassment...".  WP:ANI.  I prob should have just moved on but I left a comment on that ANI.  Now, moving on..... - Rjd0060 05:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

(redent) LOL! You're right. I got blocked for that before, so I should know better. But I thought this was a clear case. He even said he created the account to vote on that AfD. I just noticed that though, so I guess that was good enough, without the notice staying oh the user's talk page. This place is so confusing! Ugh, I hate this place sometimes. ~Jeeny (talk) 05:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I've "refactored" your above comment just to feel better about myself. LOL Feel free to undo it..  Even when you know you are right, you still think about that slim possibility that you aren't.  What a relief. LOL- Rjd0060 05:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, when you're right you're right. In that it does state that. But...there are shades of gray. I hope CelticGreen doesn't get blocked for this. As I understand the frustrations. That's what I mean when I say there are shades of gray. One needs to take time to understand the little nuances. Strict policy sucks! And, I thought that was not what a Wiki was all about. Ah, well.

As an example in a real life situation... a few months ago, I went through a red light... well it was yellow, but turned red very quickly (which I wasn't aware of) before I made the turn. A cop car just happened to be right there, but I thought I had time to make it anyway. Well, then I heard the sirens. I said to myself, f*ck. So, I pulled over, and the cop got out of his car, and walked to my window, then explained (kinda yelled) to me that that light changes so quickly from yellow to red and there were so many accidents at that site before because of it. He gave me this lecture sternly, but with concern for my and others safety, saying how I could have been killed, or hurt someone else. BUT, he didn't give me a ticket! The warning was enough to prevent me from doing it again, hopefully. Because I really didn't realise it changed so quickly. I guess when I said this to him, which was honest, and I admitted trying to race the light helped with his decision for just giving me a warning. Hell that ticket would have put points on my DL, as it was a moving vio.... AND would have cost me over $100+! Since he took the time to tell me that, I will never do that again. Well, at least not at that intersection. lol. But, it does make me think twice at others. ~Jeeny (talk) 05:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * (Edit Conf) Well, I think CelticGreen needs to be spoken to about civility, and agf. No block this time though, as we all get caught up in the heat of the moment, you know. - Rjd0060 06:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sometimes they work. And I think a gentle reminder is good enough when the tensions are high. Not a hostile one, because it can inflame. After all, this isn't a case where someone can be broadsided by a truck going 40mph where people can end up in the ER, or worse...morgue for breaking the (law) rules. lol. I digress. ~Jeeny (talk) 06:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I know I didn't invite Celtic to lunch to talk about the issue, but I think I gave a polite comment. The reply Celtic left was the "escalator" here IMO.  And this didnt help either.  Or this - Rjd0060 06:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't really lecturing you with my musings. Just saying stuff. But, LOL, that was funny about the lunch. lmao! I get it. I'm in my advocate role at the moment, I guess. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 06:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, maybe lunch would have helped the situation. I dont know.  People need to relax a bit.  Don't throw out accusations and stuff like that.  I was polite.  Should prob move this to email if you'd like.  My box is open so feel free to send.- Rjd0060 06:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe it would have. LOL. Thanks for the offer re email, lunch would be better. But, I think I'll pass, because I look at that story I wrote, and there is a lot missing that I want to include for more understanding lol... but would be very wordy TYPING it out. (not so much for you, but anyone else reading this page, if you get what I'm saying. ;p) So, I'll spare you that. You are right, again, in that we should all relax. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 06:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Its too late, and I don't understand the "hint". Rjd0060 07:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The hint is that I'm not just speaking to you, but to the community in general. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 07:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

question
I was editing a page for R&B singer Omarion. It said that his album had been certified gold, but I checked it out and it had not been, so I went to change it and it said it had a filter and wouldn't let me edit. Why can't I edit it? Seth71 20:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

It says it's a spam protection filter. Seth71 20:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

A big brother 9 page has been started and says the show will premire in February. I really think that someone should look into this to make sure it's true. Seth71 21:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Here's a website about it. Tell me if you think it is reliable enough. Seth71 21:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Me..again!
Not sure if it's up your alley, but I'd need help at the Arthur Jensen article trying to convince an anon IP that NPOV isn't really what he thinks it's about. Feel free to give a look-see if you're up to it.--Ramdrake 19:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thank you, Seth! This is my most favorite barnstar evah!!! I will put this at the top of that section on my user page. :) PS, I hope you're doing well. ~Jeeny (talk) 22:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

BB9
Did you seen what has been going on with the big brother 9 page. It's up to be deleted. Seth71 01:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Seth71 01:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen it, Seth. But, will take a look. Though if it is deleted, it can be brought back when, or if, BB9 is confirmed. ~Jeeny (talk) 01:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It has been confirmed it's just about the whole thing of it coming on in february. Seth71 01:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm right now in support of it's deletion too. Seth71 01:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Me too. I just took a quick glance and the article looks very bad, (a mess) IMO. But, even though I believe they will air it, it is best to wait until there is more info to justify the article right now. cheers! ~Jeeny (talk) 01:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm keeping my eyes open and just waiting to see something. Supposedly CNN has said there is a possibility of it coming on in February so we'll just wait and see. Seth71 01:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it is to be. It makes sense that it would, because of the writer's strike. But, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, even though it is a good prediction that there will be a BB9 in Feb. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 01:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Reply
LOL, sorry (lol). This is something different, but that IP I think is a sock of another user who I warned or something, - Rjd0060 07:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, not your fault. I may have to wipe you off my watchlist for awhile. LOL. That doesn't mean I dismiss you or wuv you less. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 07:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Another one just now. Jeez o petes.  I know it is the same person, and my RFPP was denied.  Oh well.  Rjd0060 07:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do they come out in the middle of the night? Sheesh, this is crazy. So sorry you're going through that. :( ~Jeeny (talk) 07:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * IM GREAT! LOL, Knowledgeofself semi'd the page for an hour.  Im sure that will be fine.  And, I was correct about the ANI thread I started.  Better quit for the night while Im ahead. - Rjd0060 07:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This edit, will be my 10,001 edit (according to my prefs.). Too bad at least 1500 were "deleted contributions". -Rjd0060 07:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Congrats, I think. Tsk tsk re:deletions. lol. Glad you got your talk page semi-protected for an hour. ~Jeeny (talk) 07:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * TSK? Rjd0060 07:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It means naughty. But it was in jest. Toughen up, my dear Rjd. :p ~Jeeny (talk) 07:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL, I just didn't know what it meant. Those deleted ones are prob marking pages for speedy. - Rjd0060 07:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Im at that stage right now, where your below comment made me LMFAO. - Rjd0060 07:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Good, it's good for you. ~Jeeny (talk) 07:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there
You seem to disagree with one or more of my previous edits. I am more than willing to discuss any issues you may have with the affected articles. --222.155.40.101 07:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hayden, just stay off the drugs and leave the "Negroes" alone, OK? ~Jeeny (talk) 07:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Negrahs and drugs are two things I don't mix with. What's your bebo j-dawg? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.155.40.101 (talk) 07:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure you don't mix them, but you abuse both, and should be flogged and forced into rehab. ~Jeeny (talk) 08:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, I'm off for now. Tschüss ;) --222.153.96.79 08:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey!
Glad to see you back, Jeeny..Taharqa 02:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, T! I'm so sorry for not getting in touch with you. I've been meaning too, though...but kept getting sidetracked. I have been thinking of you. As always. :) ~Jeeny (talk) 06:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

edit on AN/I
Jeeny, I am troubled that you are making accusations that are not supported by evidence. Additionally, you are using needlessly inflammatory edit summaries. Realize that your complaints will be taken more seriously if you present them in a neutral manner, supported by diffs. Our pages on no personal attacks and assume good faith provide useful advice. - Jehochman Talk 10:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Jehochan. Yes, well I'm troubled too -- by the double standards. I just don't choose to sugar coat it when there is an obvious problem. Also, there is too much work to do to point out diffs for this individual on an AN/I thread. He is just as bad as those he edit wars with, and when I see him swoop in on these subjects, using his own psuedo-scholarship, fanatically, I see blatant hypocrisy. It's troubling to watch. So AFG in this case is very hard to follow. It's the WP:SPADE thing. Thanks for the useful advice though, even though I see your subtle insults, one that Dab is good at too, although his are not as subtle. I understand how it looks as though I'm just "complaining", and may not be taken seriously because of it. I don't care anymore in this case. It's all in his history, anyway. LOTS of it. Which troubles me because he is an admin, and thinks he's the most expert defender of Wikipedia to rid it of Nationalistic and ethnic philosophies and history. We need some balance here. After all, Wikipedia is not paper, so there is plenty of room here. ~Jeeny (talk) 19:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Um...
You're welcome? Wryspy 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
