Contest proposal
A proposal has been posted for a contest between all 200 country WikiProjects. We need to know how this contest should be run, and what problems to look out for. And we're looking for judges, coordinators, ideas, and feedback.

(And we have some really cool awards for the contest).

Ip robot
Hello Jj137! Thanks for the clarification and for correcting my mistake. Is there some way one could state in User:90.176.233.122 and User talk:90.176.233.122 that this is a bot and who operates him? With ? The Ogre (talk) 15:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably not with that template, because technically he is unauthorized (that I know of); however, there doesn't seem to be any harm in the small amount of interwiki editing he's doing, so it might be best to just leave him alone for now (although occasionally keep an eye on him of course :)).  JJ (talk) 14:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks! The Ogre (talk) 16:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. :)  JJ (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

your mfd script
Hi.. there have been some slight changes to how mfd top works. Would you be able to update your script to incorporate the changes? I would but my skills at .js scripting are outshone only by my ability to pilot MiG fighter jets. Thanks! → ROUX   ₪  06:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll get to it ASAP.  JJ (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! No rush though :) → ROUX   ₪  22:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Adoptee Request
Hi jj137. I am a new contributor to the wikipedia community, and am looking for the right adopter. Your name surfaced from the adopt-a-user list as a cool guy that likes sports. I am serving on the cleanup_volunteers team right now, and I was hoping you could spare some time to show me the ropes (or just be there to bounce ideas off of from time to time). I would really appreciate it. Bobinit (talk) 08:58, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure! I don't have tons of experience with the adopt-a-user program, but I'd be more than glad to help out. :) Just out of curiosity, which type of sports do you like?  JJ (talk) 23:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks jj, I am excited to have you as my mentor. Regarding sports, if it has a ball and a scoreboard you can pretty much count me in. Football (NFL) is my first love, baseball, basketball, and pretty much all watersports. How about you?


 * What's the best way for us to communicate together in my mentoring? I promise not to be a pain in the butt, and really appreciate a seasoned pro giving me some guidance. Learning more every day :-) Funny enough, last night I realized that this doesn't need to be so manual---found it out when an rfa had done 4,000 edits in 4 months. Heck, I spent at least 3 hours creating spreadsheets and building tables to fix the 2000 NHL Draft cleanup that had been open for almost a year. I just assumed no one else wanted to do it because of the tedious nature of the job.


 * Anyway, feel free to email me or whatever you want to keep in touch. I will send questions on your talk page when they come up unless you tell me otherwise. Bobinit (talk) 16:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm mostly the same when it comes to sports; baseball, basketball and football are my favorites, although I'll go with just about anything. As for communicating, talk pages should be OK for now, I guess just whatever's easiest. :)


 * Yeah, the good the thing about wikipedia is how much you can learn (as in, the content of the articles and editing-wise). I can give you some advice/guidance when it comes to almost anything around here, so just ask me about anything and I'll see what I can do. (Additionally, nice work on the NHL Draft cleanup- I usually find it very challenging to stick with one section/article for that long :))  JJ (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi jj, I hope you had a nice weekend. I recently started using Twinkle. Are there settings on this that you would recommend I use or avoid? Also, what other tools should I be using to be effective?Bobinit (talk) 21:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope you had a good weekend as well. Hmm... I don't know of any features on Twinkle I would recommend against, although some are very effective and useful. It's really up to each individual person (depending on where they spend their time here) on what they use the most. The XFD and the Anti-vandalism tool specifically come to mind; the XFD tool can be used to nominate just about anything for deletion; Anti-vandalism is very useful and very fast, although I think most people now prefer Huggle. Other than that, you can sort of "play around" with the various uses of Twinkle and tweak them as necessary (I can help you with that if you want). Let's see... as for other scripts or tools, WP:JS lists most popular scripts for all sorts of various functions; you can edit your Monobook page to add/subtract those. WikEd is the only very obvious one there that I would recommend for everyone, the rest mostly depends what areas of Wikipedia you work with. I think that's mainly it; feel free to ask/comment/etc. about anything. :)  JJ (talk) 04:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Revision Concern
Concerning your deletion of Astonia, Put the wiki back up for that game. If your not sure that it exists then do research but don't destroy other peoples work because your too lazy to do the foot work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.128.240.121 (talk) 16:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt that it exists; I didn't even add the reason for deletion (over 18 months ago?). It was an expired Prod page, meaning it was tagged for deletion for five consecutive days with no objections. I had nothing to do with the article, I just occasionally clean out old pages that need deletion. Also, see this page; not everything is included in Wikipedia.  JJ (talk) 21:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
