Re: 2008 Houston Astros season
Just a quick note... When adding a game log template to an article, don't use "subst". This causes the game log to be edited in two separate places, which can be confusing. Let me know if you have any questions. Caknuck (talk) 15:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * On 2008 Boston Red Sox season, one of your edit summaries references a "vote". I didn't see any such discussion at any of the related WP:WPBB talk pages. Can you direct me it? Thanks, Caknuck (talk) 15:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It wasn't really an official "vote"; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball/Archive 4. Read the whole discussion and see what you think. It seems to be a consensus among some of the more active editors in this category to keep game logs currently being edited editable on the article, and then moved into a template upon their completion.  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, after reading that more closely, I'd say only a few editors (but no worries). I'm trying to keep all of the game logs currently editable on the articles until their completion, when they can be moved into a template. However, this is only for the newer templates we create since that discussion; the game log templates created before that, completely or not, can stay where they are. Tell me what you think. (It seems to be easier to simply edit them there instead of going back and forth between the article and the template. That makes it confusing.)  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was hoping there was another discussion, because there is no way to interpret a clear consensus from that thread. Four editors (myself, User:Steven Andrew Miller, User:Wknight94 and User:X96lee15) sided with separate transcluded templates and three (User:Borgarde, User:Soxrock and yourself) supported subst'ing them into the article. How do you get consensus out of that?


 * As far as leaving the templates separate during the season, this is how we did it last year and I heard no complaints. Why fix it if it ain't broke?


 * Now you have a situation where two separate game logs (like with the 2008 Astros) exist in different stages of completion. I think this was a poor decision with poor implementation. Caknuck (talk) 23:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll go around and make sure the "versions" are manageable on the articles.  jj137  ♠  Talk  00:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, we should start another discussion to get consensus on this.  jj137  ♠  Talk  00:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:Barnstar
Thanks so much for the barnstar!  STORMTRACKER  94  01:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, you deserve it. (And you might want to see this, by the way. I'm not sure what's it's about.)  jj137  ♠  Talk  01:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Newsletter?
I have also been thinking about a Red Sox Project newsletter. I could coordinate it if you would like me to. Please give imput, I look forward to hearing from you.  STORMTRACKER  94  15:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That sounds great. I'll give you a few ideas I had and see what you think:
 * I would prefer weekly over monthly. It doesn't have to be anything big or amazing each week, but some content people would be interested in.
 * We could create a subpage (probably WikiProject Boston Red Sox/Newsletter) where people can place their name if they would like to receive the newsletter each week. Each individual newsletter would be in a subpage of that, I guess.
 * Since it is the offseason, there isn't much to write about. We could just have a few "featured articles" (no, not the featured articles, but some interesting articles.)
 * We could deliver it each Sunday. That will give us a week to write the first one, should we start today.
 * We could place info about it at the main page, the talk page, and the yet-unused announcements board.


 * Tell me what you think of this.  jj137  ♠  Talk  17:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a great idea. I'll get it started right away.  STORMTRACKER  94  17:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I just created a basic template. You can see it here.  STORMTRACKER  94  18:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * To tell you the truth, that's insanely awesome. I'm not very good with that sort of thing (the formatting, etc.) but I think that's a lot better style than some other WikiProject newsletter templates I've seen. Well done.  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I guess this maens we should start writing now.  STORMTRACKER  94  20:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep. I'll try to find some info to write about.  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * One more thing- How should we decide what the "featured" articles are? Should we vote or should the writers decide? Also, I'm going to get started on a free agent summary for the Red Sox as part of the newsletter.  STORMTRACKER  94  20:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You can come up with ones yourself. If people suggest articles, we should probably use those too. We probably wouldn't be able to actually write an article about an article (well, maybe, anything is possible), but we can list a few on the template (or something along those lines).  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You may want to fix the newsletter. The text below the header is invisible now.  jj137  ♠  Talk  02:49, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Two other things I've thought of. We could have some sort of template to place on each newsletter page (or most of them) for easier navigation. Also, keep in mind this isn't being published until next Sunday, so be careful with past tense, time usage, etc.  jj137  ♠  Talk  04:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Red Sox Subpage
I love it. I saw Stormtrackers post about a newsletter (saw, not read). If you look at my user page, you'll see a bunch of MLB off season updates. Check em out! --HPJoker (talk) 19:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Those are cool. We now have a section on the main page saying all of the recent Sox deals (although there's only a few). I suggested the idea of a newsletter yesterday at WT:BOSOX, and Stormtracker already seems up for the idea. Hopefully it will work out.  jj137  ♠  Talk  20:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:BOSOX Newsletter
I just finished the article on the free agent summary. Would you call the project news one done? It looks like it is done to me.  STORMTRACKER  94  00:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * For now I think it is; if there is any more news that comes in the next six days, I'll add it.  jj137  ♠  Talk  00:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Now only one article left.  STORMTRACKER  94  00:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We don't have to set the limit at three. I mean, we could always write more, and/or make the ones we have better.  jj137  ♠  Talk  00:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hyperlinking words
I'm wondering how to link something on my user page to another section of a wikipedia page. I think it's something like when you asked me have I ever made this edit before. Thanx! --HPJoker (talk) 01:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I know what you mean. For example, if you wanted to link to the Boston Red Sox article, History section. Boston Red Sox. Is that what you mean?  jj137  ♠  Talk  02:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Or, I think this is what you mean. If you wanted to link to a revision you made, you would use it as an external link: like this, which comes out as like this. See?  jj137  ♠  Talk  02:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Number 1. Like WikiProject Boston Red Sox/Newsletter/12-16-07/Santana? --HPJoker (talk) 03:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, although since the page is very short, it won't do you much good.  jj137  ♠  Talk  03:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, as a side note, try to stay NPOV when writing these articles. I mean, I think we're all Sox fans, so there's nothing wrong with saying good things about them, etc. but try not to stay stuff like "I heard today" and stuff like that. Other than that, good job so far.  jj137  ♠  Talk  03:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Better?

ALSO! I significantly expanded KRST, a station in New Mexico I used to live near by and now don't, but I still listen online. I feel proud. --HPJoker (talk) 04:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well done. It does make you feel sort of proud when you've done quite a bit to an article, doesn't it?  jj137  ♠  Talk  21:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * About the newsletter - it's mainly a time-based thing, because when it gets delivered, a thing you heard yesterday would have been 5 days ago by then.  jj137  ♠  Talk  21:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, is it okay that I also put it on my ESPN profile? --HPJoker (talk) 02:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess so, although I don't really know anything about ESPN profiles.  jj137  ♠  Talk  02:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * http://myespn.go.com/HPJoker

There's mine. --HPJoker (talk) 02:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, I think it would be fine to post it there.  jj137  ♠  Talk  02:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm wondering do you really live in Brazil? --HPJoker (talk) 02:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I'm American. I know at one point the cat "Wikipedians in Brazil" was on my user talk page, but I really have no idea how. It was very random.  jj137  ♠  Talk  03:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, another question. Could I put KRST's phone number on the page, or would that be advertising? --HPJoker (talk) 03:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:Newsletter
Just a reminder: we still have to write a couple articles for the newsletter this week. Any ideas?  jj137  ♠ 22:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I really won't be very active this week (just see the template on my page...), but I think that some articles about the Mitchell Report aftermath (e.g. Roger Clements) and the usual project news would be good. <font face="Chiller" size="3.0" color="RED"> STORMTRACKER <font face="Chiller" size="4.0" color="Orange"> 94  22:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That's too bad. I reminded HPJoker as well, and I already started on the news page, so I think we're fine.   jj137  ♠ 22:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Two words: Heck no. Ever since the Mitchell Report came out, not much has happened, and nothing on Santana. The Rockies I think are trying to get a new second baseman, Brian Giles after Kaz Matsui left the Rockies and joined the Astros. --HPJoker (talk) 22:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You could write something about Roger Clemens denying steroid use, because he played with the Red Sox for a while.   jj137  ♠ 22:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Why through? We all knew someone was going to deny using steroids. What about this http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071220&content_id=2334589&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos? --HPJoker (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That looks like something very interesting (and important) you could write about. The only reason I thought of the Clemens thing, and Stormtracker mentioned it, was because shortly before Andy Pettitte announced using HGH (and Clemens made somewhat big news).   jj137  ♠ 23:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. I kind of doubt that the ball really got ate by his dog. First, he tries to keep it secret, then he says his dog ate it. Can I wikify a link to another webpage? --HPJoker (talk) 23:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I kind of believe it. I mean, I thought he was probably just embarrassed by one of the probably most important artifacts in Red Sox history being destroyed by his dog. And sure, if you want to add a link to another page you can; if you want to add an in-text citation to the web address place and then place a section "References" at the bottom with . Or, of course, you could just do it in this form: .    jj137  ♠ 02:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Johan Santana
I just talked to ESPN MLB writer Jerry Crasnick and he says the Santana deal might as well be dead. Bill Smith has not been shocked by any of the deals from the Red Sox or Yankees and will probably keep Santana for the beginning of 2008 and might look to trade him in July. --HPJoker (talk) 17:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

 * No, that ain't good news. Will we have to resort to the news on my user page? --HPJoker (talk) 22:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Possibly. Stormtracker won't be able to write this week (see template on his userpage), so I'll work something out.   jj137  ♠ 01:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Darn. I wonder how he got grounded. What did you have in mind. It looks like the Red Sox probably won't make many free agency moves for a while. They got their main targets (Lowell, Schilling) signed. --HPJoker (talk) 02:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, this person seems to have a frequently changing IP address, and there is nothing we can do about that except block them.   jj137  ♠ 23:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In response to, is it possible to sprotect the affected articles for while? At least, until he gets bored and runs off? The primary affected articles are:


 * Indophobia
 * Pakistanphobia
 * Kashmir Conflict
 * Indian nationalism
 * Pakistani Nationalism. Ghanadar galpa (talk) 23:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Ghanadar galpa (talk) 23:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I protected the first three articles you said and the last one for vandalism; the fourth one I don't think had enough recent vandalism to justify protection. If vandalism keeps up on any of those articles, let me know and I'll take care of it.   jj137  ♠ 23:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Im not a vandal i will be looking for another editer who is not bias against Pakistan so i can get help from the vandal ganadar galpa P.S be fair —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.177.81 (talk • contribs) at 10:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I do not have much knowledge of Pakistan and that article, but I was just trying to stop the edit wars. And no, Maxim and Ghanadar galpa are not vandals, they are just trying to keep the article neutral.   jj137  ♠ 17:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Stubs
Please see here that "...two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it." So there is no need to delete one like here Carl-Olof Nylén‎. Thanks and kind regards Doma-w (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, sometimes I leave it, but sometimes I will change it to one line of white space, simply because (in some cases) I think it looks slightly better without a lot of white space. It all depends what all is around the tag.   jj137  ♠ 23:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Mark753's socks
I have a feeling that I will be doing this all night, so I need to ask if it is possible to protect the talk page of all his other socks? <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote  00:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll see what I can do.   jj137  ♠ 00:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that, thanks. <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote  00:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I think I got them all (they are all located at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Mark753, right?); some of them he hadn't done anything to, so I left them to be.   jj137  ♠ 01:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have my doubts that the user will not use those user names, but as long as he is limited to using them it should make lives easier in the future and yeah to my knowledge all of the socks used by Mark should be there but a checkuser will probably be necessary some time in the future as a lot of his statements were threatening his usage of other accounts. By the way I will respond tomorrow afternoon as it is to late for me to stay online. <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote  01:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, if you see him using those accounts to troll any more just let me know and I'll take care of it.   jj137  ♠ 01:15, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for helping out, Happy Holidays. <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote  20:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Speak of the devil I already tried WP:RFPP but they have done nothing User:Sockerwocker has used talk page to attack users earlier this day as seen here. Though it seems as the edit was not recent they seem to be reluctant to protect the page. But after last night there is a fairly good chance that the sock will be used again in an attempt to bait the attacked users into responding. The guy has not learned no matter what he does some one simply delete the edit and report it. <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote   21:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I protected the page.   jj137  ♠ 21:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, sorry if I have been a pest and seemingly attached to mark's case (need to slow down my response time). <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote
 * It isn't a problem; this guy needs to quit trolling. Also, don't worry, I don't think your response time is too quick. If it is, then probably all of my response times are too quick as well.   jj137  ♠ 21:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have my doubts he will ever stop trolling. Lol, I tend to feel really odd when I get the same person over and over again, well it comes with the territory. Good Night, I'm taking off for the night to enjoy my vacation. Happy Holidays. <font style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif"> Rgoodermote   21:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll keep an eye on all of this. Happy holidays!   jj137  ♠ 21:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Please explain
Why you declined the page protection request for United States Department of Homeland Security. I just want to know so I do not make this mistake in this future.--Jeanenawhitney (talk) 01:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There have only been ~3 vandal edits the entire month, not nearly enough to be protected. And don't worry, it isn't really a mistake, because it depends on the situation of how much vandalism. The point is, if there has been plenty of vandalism recently on an article, don't hesitate to report it. You won't get in trouble if it is declined.   jj137  ♠ 01:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Petipa
Thank you for catching my error on Marius Petipa's ballet category. Robert Greer (talk) 02:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What was it? (I can't seem to find it.)   jj137  ♠ 02:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * On closer examination it wasn't an error, but you made a useful emendation to The Little Humpbacked Horse. Robert Greer (talk) 02:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, well thanks.   jj137  ♠ 02:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Jonah House
I only deleted it because there was an expired prod tag on it. The original concern cited by Dlohcierekim was that it did not establish notability.  jj137  ♠ 18:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What more would you like to have seen in the Jonah House article ? rkmlai (talk) 18:22, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Since that tag I had added significant changes, references, and sources for the article. I also left two posts requesting feedback on the talk page. Of which I received no responses. rkmlai (talk) 18:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Would you undelete it please or give feedback as to what to add to this significant and notable organization to the Catholic Worker Movement, faith based nonviolent resistance, and peace movement. Thanks, rkmlai (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I undeleted it and the talk page, because you did expand the article and it shouldn't have been deleted.   jj137  ♠ 18:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, rkmlai (talk) 18:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC) btw how do you have the ability to post here and on the other editor page simultaniously ? I find it way cool
 * I just reply here and then copy and paste my comments to my own talk page. That way any conversations I have don't get completely separated in two places and become very confusing.   jj137  ♠ 18:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Fraudulent requests for page protection and vandalism to Bobby Farrell.
Please be advised that the page you protected is being vandalized by user [Jvhertum], who made the fraudulent request stating that someone tampered with the article, when in fact it is he/she who deleted a video-confession which clearly spells out the fact in question at the 2-minute mark of the video. To delete a verifiable fact from Wikipedia is considered vandalism. This is precisely what the user keeps doing, because he perhaps does wish to have this information revealed. Regardless what the motives are, such actions constitute fraud and vandalism. USRepublican (talk) 20:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Jverthum is not a vandal, and links to Youtube videos really can't count as reliable resources. Sorry.   jj137  ♠ 21:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The person whose page it is, admits himself who he was in that video. If that is not reliable, then neither are your remarks. USRepublican (talk) 21:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe he does, but Youtube still shouldn't be used as a primary reference.   jj137  ♠ 21:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * USRepublican, do you speak Dutch? If not, then you are hardly in a position to judge what Farrell does or does not say in that YouTube video. People should not be labeled as male prostitutes on Wikipedia without some clear evidence for this, hence my request for page protection. I do not appreciate these silly accusations of vandalism. Jvhertum (talk) 21:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In general, there's a good remedy for over-assumptions... it's called "get a life". USRepublican (talk) 22:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I have no idea what that means. Jj137, could you please look again at the article? The label "A video confession where Bobby Farrell admits to having worked as gay-for-pay" is anything but neutral. A more neutral label would be "Interview with Bobby Farrell". Alternatively, remove the link altogether as the YouTube clip surely has been placed there without permission from the TV station that broadcast it as is therefore a copyright violation. Best regards, Jvhertum (talk) 22:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed the external link to "Interview with Bobby Farrell" like you said; if the video gets deleted from the site for copyvio concerns then we can remove it all together.   jj137  ♠ 23:11, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks and happy holidays! Jvhertum (talk) 23:22, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, and happy holidays!   jj137  ♠ 23:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
