through the whole process of networking development.What do you suggest ?what topology should be used and what cables should do best and why.What connectors to be used and again why?Help me out please.You can forward it on R.desk also if it is needed.Hoping pretty response from your side.--Catherine.michi (talk) 16:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thumbplay
Jeremy - can you be more specific about why you feel this is an advertising? Everything I've written is from a factual and neutral POV. I've also cited whatever I could, including some places where you specifically asked for additional citations.

Plus, another moderator had asked me to specifically address some other concerns, which I've specifically done in tweaking the entry further.

Any specific examples you can provide which need to be fixed will be most helpful. (Chaas (talk) 19:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC))

Help Jeremy
I am having a problem with a user on an article I created Marc Ratner. Please help me on this issue JeremyMcCracken. I came to you because I don't know where else to turn. The user has recommended my article for deletion say it is a copyright. I know it is not because I wrote it myself. The user submitted websites trying to prove that it was copyrighted. I checked out the pages and it shows no copyright on my part. If you would please check out the article and give your honest opinion on the issue. Whatever you final finding is i will follow it. Thanking you in advance Reallmmablogger (talk) 18:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon Red Blue Glitch City
Hi, you voted a while ago in favour of some mention of Glitch City in the Pokemon Red/Blue article. Unfortunately, despite admin saying a Glitch section would be ok, the main editor of the page is turning it into a war, constantly deleting it despite sources and Pokemon-culture relevance. If you have an interest in keeping this kind of interesting information in wikipedia, please come over to Pokemone Red and Blue and help get the small Glitches section reinstated.

Thank you, Jeremy, for your amazing work in Viewpoint Media Player. If I had read an older version without your contributions, I would have been very, very confused about it.

For the nice welcome message. I've loved Wikipedia, so I've joined and hope to become a constructive contributor, or editor. I'm especially passionate about content verification in subjects that are of to interest me. Thanks again.--Jhelyam (talk) 03:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Article about Subpages help
I got it! In a nutshell, a subpage is created by adding a slash and some text to a page title. This is often done for two reasons: A) subpages off of people's user pages, for their own stuff, and B) subpages of talk pages for archiving. The link you gave me is helpful. Thanks. Reply soon.

Catherineyronwode/ANI-proposal
The User talk:Catherineyronwode/ANI-proposal seems to me to be a very bad idea, and inappropriate for AN/I. She has stated on her user page that she intends to continue adding to it while leaving it to unspecified others to make use of it. Hrafn has rightly pointed out to me that it meets the description of being an WP:Attack page. To minimise drama I've suggested that she consider deleting it herself, rather than deleting it or tagging it for speedy deletion without warning. I'll be grateful for any advice or comments you have on this situation. Thanks, dave souza, talk 14:51, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think Catherine's ANI-proposal brilliant because it hits upon a previously undocumented form of WP:OWNERSHIP. Hfran is trying to control other editors through a negative form of WP:OWERNSHIP, where he prods and tags weak articles like a spider weaving a web.  And then waits for an unsuspecting editor to make a contribution.  And if the editor does not bring the article up to standards that are far, far beyond WP:IMPERFECT, he takes what appears to be the next logical step which is a further, WP:prod, WP:redirect, or WP:AFD. In fact, dave souza sometimes particpates with Hfran in these negative forms of WP:OWNERSHIP (e.g., Talk:Relationship_between_religion_and_science).  Catherine's edits last night on Daylight Origins Society (see revision history: ) and Hfran's Articles for deletion/Daylight Origins Society today along with dave souza's participation is a perfect example.  --Firefly322 (talk) 15:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I think you're serious. Certainly this issue is open to discussion, but I think it'll be hard to discuss anything if the tenor of your rant-like comments isn't altered substantively.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 17:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What do u consider to be a rant here? Considering that Hfran's comments per a WP:3 review towards me were questioned as uncivil, I think I'm on a much higher moral ground in the way I treat him versus how he treats me.  Here is the example where Hfran's comments are questioned as uncivil in a WP:3 review: Talk:Relationship between religion and science. --Firefly322 (talk) 18:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (Interposting) Let's just say that I find your points to be hyperbolic and lacking in rationality. You seem to make an awful lot of assumption that are not supported by the cites.  The use of "weak" plays the victim card, but the reality is that the articles are not so much weak as they are irrelevant. Danke.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 19:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (Interposting) Not sure what sure what you are talking about. I'm not playing anything.  There is a willfully negative and consistent pattern of behavior exhibited by User:Hfran. Both Catherine and I have witnessed it. The victims are all those newbie-type editors who Hfran has convinced that wikipedia has editoral standards beyond WP:Imperfect. Neither Catherine nor I are victims, because we are standing up to this willfully negative and consistent pattern of behavior.  Identification of what I am calling negative WP:OWNERSHIP is going to require several examples and these are going to take time and effort to accumulate.  Also I will need to confirm with other editors like Catherine if she agrees with my observations and conclusions, once examples have been gathered.  --Firefly322 (talk) 21:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Firefly, basic confirmation holism doesn't establish notability on Wikipedia. It's an article I'd like to see kept, so please find reliable sources establishing its notability. . . dave souza, talk 17:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Then Dave souza, why not put a speedy keep !vote in the AFD? Or are you implying that you do realize that this WP:AFD has been done to make a WP:POINT. --Firefly322 (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Assumptions again.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 19:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (Interposting) The logical presupposition of your statement is that all assumptions are bad. Which is false and makes the statement logically false.  So, Jim62sch, what or which assumptions are you apparently criticizing, exactly? --Firefly322 (talk) 21:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and answer this here; I said that MEDCAB couldn't handle that type of claim/complaint. It Catherine wants to post her concerns at ANI, that would be the appropriate venue. If I were her, I wouldn't post that stuff on WP simply because it tips off those you're targeting, but I've seen others keep similar "evidence" pages, that were considered acceptable. You could suggest it for deletion, but I think it would probably be kept anyway. Since it's complaints of user conduct, it will almost certainly wind up at ARBCOM eventually, where evidence is presented just like that page. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, obviously I'd expect it to go through the usual dispute resolution stages before RfArb and of course the behaviour of all parties will come under scrutiny if she chooses to go ahead with it. In light of her statements it seemed inappropriate to me, but others can judge. . . dave souza, talk 19:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Realistically, RFC would be the next step, but as much of this issue seemsto be out-of-process, I suppose one can never tell.
 * In any case, Dave has tried to steer Cat in the right direction, but I fear his efforts were in vain.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 19:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Folks, I don't think my talk page is the appropriate venue for this discussion. If it's not part of the MEDCAB case, you can take it to ANI, MfD, RfC, or whatever else seems like a good place for it. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:24, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

William Gaillard
The William Gaillard page has been unproteced, and again the version which is non-consensus has been restored. Rather than simply revert the edit I have come to for you for advice on how to proceed. Hope this is ok? Dead-or-Red (talk) 17:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The editor in question is not new to the article and was involved in maintaining earlier coatrack edits. I fear discussion will not move the article forwards. Dead-or-Red (talk) 19:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

User:Eldereft added to MEDCAB
Firefly322 just added me to WP:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-09-02 Relationship between religion and science. They indicate here a preference for continued mediation. I have never participated in mediation before, nor am I quite sure what is Firefly322's complaint with me even after reading that page and an AN/I post. Would you like me to describe there my (brief) history on Relationship between religion and science, my (also brief) interactions with Firefly322, my (slightly less brief, but no more in depth) interactions with User:Hrafn, my take on the whole family of articles, or anything else to help this resolve? Alternatively, if you think the issue can be better solved without my involvement at this stage, I can do that too. Regards. - Eldereft (cont.) 14:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your mediation help
I realize that the mediation between Firefly322 and hrafn was ultimately closed without resolution due to hrafn's retirement from the project, but i wanted to let you know that i appreciate your cool-headed responses to some fairly hot-headed posts while the issue was being played out in several venues. I also want to thank you for helping me to better understand the acronym-heavy labyrinth of Wikipedia conflict resolution.

Talk:AmeriCorps
Hi. Thanks for defending the criticism section in the AmeriCorps article. I made some comments at Talk:AmeriCorps which you might enjoy reading. I'm the person who created the criticism section, because before that, the entire article was a puff piece, and the only source for the entire article was the AmeriCorps webstite. Funny how no one complained about bias then, and they only started complaining about bias after I added the criticism section. Grundle2600 (talk) 16:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
