Researcher
I was sent to you by another user, UpstateNYer, who said you may be able to help me a bit more on this. I was wondering if it would be possible to become a researcher. It's a new class, just recently created, but it allows people to view deleted content. I work in the area of music on this wiki and I always like to see the content of deleted articles, especially if there is a way to prove notability. (It's always nice to see where one article left off before it was taken away) Let me know if it's doable. Thanks. Undead Warrior (talk) 04:41, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ordinary Wikipedia administrators cannot assign the "researcher" userright, and I don't believe anyone else on the English Wikipedia can either. It was created by the Wikimedia Foundation for a particular project, and I believe that the people in that project are only supposed to use it for that project, and not just to view deleted pages.  Besides, if I understand correctly, it only gives you the deleted usernames and timestamps, not the actual page content itself.  You look like you could potentially be an administrator some time soon; have you thought about running?  —  Soap  —  10:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I failed 3 RfA's a while back, so it's been a while since I have ran. Although, I would not mind running again... Undead Warrior (talk) 20:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 21:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, I might as well ask. Would you mind taking a brief look at my contributions over the past 4 (ish) years or so and tell me if you think I stand any chance at becoming an Admin this time through? Thanks. Undead Warrior (talk) 01:09, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I've been out of the loop for some time now, and I doubt I'd be able to give you an accurate assessment. Among the current RfA "experts" are User:HJ Mitchell and User:Dank, who are usually more than willing to help. Best of luck either way. Juliancolton (talk) 01:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were (A),  (B, and the round's overall leader),  (C)  and  (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Response from Chris Landsea about your query of 1887 AHS
I just got a response from Dr. Landsea earlier today and he did reply to your question of whether Hurricane 6 and 7 were the same storm. I'll paste that part of the email below

"Lastly, storms #6 and 7 in 1887 are definitely two distinct, strong hurricanes. Please check out the great work that Jose Partagas did in digging up original ship reports from these hurricanes: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/Partagas/1887/1887a.pdf Occasionally, we do have TCs that have similar genesis/tracks. For example, Katrina and Rita and, more recently, Alex and TD2."

Hi Julian, How are you? I have made a couple of posts on your recall page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Juliancolton/Recall about our article, but maybe you have not visited that site for some time. We would like your opinion on our progress with this article so we can have formal approval from an administrator in order to publish it again. (Freezydk (talk) 12:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC))
 * Unfortunately I'm not very active on Wikipedia at the moment, so you might wish to ask another administrator for advice (a few credible admins who come to mind are and ). Best of luck, Juliancolton (talk) 20:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Another road pic for the portal
Julian,

I finally got this view from the hairpin turn above Amenia on Route 44 in. I see you're sort-of taking the summer off ... but do you still think this should be a selected pic (for both the HV and NYSR portals, I should add)?

Also, you're closer than I am if you want to improve on the image by going there on a clearer day, perhaps with little white fluffy clouds in the sky to make it more interesting. It isn't hard to duplicate this shot. Daniel Case (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I like it. I think an even better perspective would have been from just before the "vertex" of the turn, so you could capture the view looking south more clearly (like this, sort of). Next time I'm in that area I'll bring my camera and try to take a few different shots. Until then, I think your image would be great to add to the relevant portals. The HV portal might be running a bit heavy on road pictures, but as long as the quality and encyclopedic value is there, I don't see an issue.
 * By the way, I'm going to be in the Westerly, RI area in a couple weeks, and the SD memory card for my camera feels too light... It looks like you were around there a couple years ago, and since you're the go-to guy for NRHP sites, do you happen to know of any locations lacking decent pictures? I'd like to get into the habit of researching an area before I visit it to maximize the chance of snapping relavant shots. Juliancolton (talk) 22:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Cite web news and the like
Hey Julian. About two months ago there was an issue concerning those templates and I saw that you wrote something about that it is important to distinguish those templates according to the object which is cited, e.g. cite web should not be used for papers, cite news not for journals or so. You referred that you have been informed in the chat about that. Could you please explain that to me, since we have a discussion on that topic on the German WP at the moment. TIA. --Matthiasb (talk) 19:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (,  and ) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by, who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

New article was recently made, Paul LaViolette.

Help with GA review
I am a first time reviewer trying to help out on the GA nominations backlog. Your name was on the GA mentor list and I wondered if you could review my comments before I feed them back to the editor? (They're a list at the moment but I'll write them properly for the actual review.)

I have reviewed Caernarfon Castle. I have checked it against the "Quick fail" criteria and it passed okay. Although I do not have access to the references quoted I undertook the review as I have visited the castle twice and have an interest (although it is outside the field that I normally write edits for). I have checked that the references exist and have checked the general historical facts against internet sources. My comments are as follows:


 * One of the external links requires a note that a subscription is required.
 * Words that are wikilinks in the Leader also appear as wikilinks elsewhere in the article.
 * I might suggest that References are renamed Footnotes and that Bibliography becomes a proper section labelled References.
 * The photograph of the investiture of Prince Charles is copyrighted but includes a statement for its fair use, so is probably okay?
 * The Landmark Trust have a holiday property for rent within the Bath Tower.
 * I thought that the Architecture section might be better above the Later History one as presently the article sort of ends without a conclusion - having already come to one in the section above.
 * I have not checked all the wikilinks for disambiguation. Should I?

I thought that the article could pass for GA but didn't know whether to put it on hold for any of the above points, or just correct them myself. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!! Kenchikuben (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

2010 Dutch forummers hurricane season
If I recall correctly you are quite the enthusiast for hurricane and tropical storm articles. I came across this one today and frankly am wondering if the whole thing is bullshit. I've never heard of tropical weather in the Netherlands before, I'm thinking it's either a hoax or a badly mangled translation, but I really don't know anything about this subject so maybe I'm just completely off base. The article has no references and mentions an area of the Netherlands that en.WP has no record of. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Request new review of page
Sir,

As a resident of Clanton, Alabama (and webmaster of the city web site), I was interested in learning more about the actor and Clanton native Drew Roy.

When I checked Wikipedia, I found that a page for this actor had been deleted in 2009 due to several reasons, but primarily insufficient notability.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drew_Roy

In the period since this deletion, the actor has appeared (credited) in multiple episodes of Disney Channel's iCarly and Hannah Montana, as well as the movie Secretariat which is being released this month. While his career is obviously still young, he arguably is becoming more notable and I would like to request a new review of his page. Steventhomas42 (talk) 20:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AFDHOWTO#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion
On that, there is what I consider a possibly serious omission. In "If you do not sign-in or edit anonymously, you cannot complete either process." there should be a comma after 'sign-in', and preferably 'if you' after the 'or' as well. As it stands, it implies one can complete the process if one either signs in or edits anonymously - which I do not think is the intention. This is in a 'short cut' which I can't edit - in part at least because I don't know where it's kept... Peridon (talk) 23:19, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

The 1910 Cuba hurricane was a destructive and unusual tropical cyclone which struck Cuba and the United States in October 1910. It formed in the southern Caribbean on October 9 and intensified as it moved northwestward, becoming a hurricane on October 12. After crossing the western tip of Cuba, it peaked on October 16, corresponding to Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It moved in a counterclockwise loop and hit Cuba again. It then tracked toward Florida, landing near Cape Romano. After moving through the state, it hugged the coast of the Southeastern United States on its way out to sea. Due to its unusual loop, initial reports suggested it was two separate storms which hit in rapid succession. It is considered one of the worst natural disasters in Cuban history. It also had a widespread impact in Florida. (more...)

LAOTSE - start again?
Hi,JC

I was clarifying things on Indian Institute of Technology Bombay when I noticed the LAOTSE acronym. You deleted a previous incarnation of the article. OK if I start it again? (This time with relevant material, of course.) There's plenty enough reliable refs available online for a reasonably competent editor to start a stub.

Must admit, even if you are/were working with LAOTSE and possibly conflicted, I'm surprised you didn't simply re-write the article instead of deleting it. Oh, and just one more thing. I couldn't find a contact email at http://www.laotse.vo.tum.de/ or thru a search of the TUM site. A "heads up": clicking the "Home" button on the front page of www.laotse.vo.tum.de sends the reader to a website about hair-care products... in Japanese. --Shirt58 (talk) 14:48, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner!

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round.

Winning the featured list prize is, for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is, for four featured pictures in round 3.

Finally, winning the in the news award is, for nineteen articles in the news in round three.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

 * Hey Elangate – thanks for leaving me a message! I'll be more than happy to work with you for a while in getting your bearings around here, but for now, I'll focus on this article in particular. You've picked a good topic to start with (not too overwhelming, but at the same time, not so obscure as to avoid any attention), and it looks like you're headed in the right direction with the rewrite. That said, I am a bit concerned that the proposed revision reads more like an essay than an encyclopedic article (specifically the "Usage" section). For instance, "charcoal is becoming one of the most environmentally damaging industries" expresses an opinion, which violates one of WP's core endeavors, which is to sustain complete impartiality. If you can find a couple good quality academic sources to back up that statement, it'll be cool, but otherwise you might want to neutralize it somewhat. Also, avoid citing other Wikipedia articles as a reference; we're not considered a credible source, as counterintuitive as that may seem. This is just a real quick look, so if you could let me know how you'd like me to help, that would be great. Cheers! Juliancolton (talk) 02:39, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Greetings
Hello Juliancolton, I had a recent foray with an IP user who portended to be you. If in fact this interaction was with you, I want you to know you have misunderstood my actions. and I completely allow that I may in fact have misunderstood yours as well. My greatest curiosity is whether or not it was an interaction with you, and then, only if you desire, a willingness to clarify my own actions. Kind regards.  My 76 Strat  18:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey there. Nope, as far as I know(!) that wasn't me, so don't worry about it. Just out of curiosity, could you link me to the aforementioned discussion? Juliancolton (talk) 19:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that reply, the incident occurred on the irc at en-help and unfortunately I do not log conversations. I am hoping perhaps some others may have and if for no other reason, the user was wrong for trying to represent himself as you, which was to me a first indicator that something might have been out of line. I will provide details as they become available. There is a record of the IP because what they were trying to accomplish was an AfD they had started but couldn't complete as an IP. Another helper completed the AfD and as I said that part is a matter of record. I hope to be able to show where they claimed to be you and somehow unable to use the account. And I will appraise you if and as details become available. Again thanks for your response and for your assistance as well. Kind regards, and oh, welcome to the ambassador program as well. I look forward to working with you in the future.  My 76 Strat  21:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I was able to contact a helper who did log the conversation. To my error it turns out the IP only mentioned you and in fact did not represent himself as being you. That was my mistake and I wasn't really seeking drama. In fact most of the interaction was relegated to my memory and concluded, until, as it happened, I noticed you as a fellow ambassador. I felt if it had been you, perhaps we could clear the misunderstanding. In fact if this user is an associate who frequents your talk page, then it seems perhaps this might one day be accomplished because of the post. So nothing really lost to the potential for gain; I can accept that. Cheers.  My 76 Strat  22:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I noticed you deleted the Neo-Eldarin page. 09:41, 30 December 2009 Juliancolton (talk | contribs) deleted "Neo-Eldarin" (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neo-Eldarin) But there are still red-links to it. Ok if I recreate the Neo-Eldarin page as a redirect to Tolkien fandom. That's the only place on wikipedia where it is still defined to any degree. If not, OK if I unlink Neo-Eldarin wherever it occurs, so it doesn't show up in red? Faolin42 (talk) 22:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

A consideration for cross project consolidation of talk page templates
I have started a conversation here about the possibility of combining some of the United States related WikiProject Banners into WikiProject United States. It appears that you have been a regular editor or are a member of WikiProject U.S. counties and I thought that project might be interested in doing this. I am going to contact some of the other members of the project as well.

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.

A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Planning for next term in the Wikipedia Ambassador Program
Hi Julian. We're trying to figure out how many students we can mentor next term and how many additional Online Ambassadors will be needed. Based on the revised plan for what participating courses will be like next term, I've sketched out what will be expected of mentors. Please look that over, and then go to the online ambassadors talk page to indicate much mentoring and other ambassador activities you'd like to do next term. Thanks!

Also, you never responded about some of the details I asked for by email... I still haven't signed you up for the Wikipedia Ambassadors Google Group yet, among other things. Please take a look at that and get back to me; I can resend the email if you like. Cheers--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Mentor for team of students
Hi, my name is James Fullerton, and I'm a teacher at Southern Lehigh Middle School in PA. Recently I've created a project that involves Wikipedia (WP) and small groups of students making a contribution to a WP article of their choosing, as long as the topic is related to the content of the course - being American Government, Civics, and Economics. For the past 4 weeks, students have become involved in the culture of WP, with many already narrowing in on a topic for their contribution. Here is the supportive material on Wikispaces (https://wikiedit.wikispaces.com/). Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Would you be available to act as a mentor to a small group of students as they begin to offer additional content to an article of their interest? The team sizes are numbered between 5-7 students each. I will notify you as to who is in the teams with their WP user names. Jmfullerton (talk) 17:25, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Re Talk:United States v. Wong Kim Ark/GA1
Julian, I am conducting my first GA review at Talk:United States v. Wong Kim Ark/GA1. I am conducting this review as a homework assignment for the Campus Ambassadors training I will undergo next week in San Francisco. As part of the training I am required to do a review and then discuss my review and the review process in an open forum with other editors. I chose the article at random, but do have some familarity with U.S. Constitutional Law, so its not a strange subject. I am attempting to follow the GA guidelines and conduct the review accordingly, but I am confident, as this is my first review, I will get something wrong. I do not plan on passing judgement on the article until midweek, but would appreciate any advice or feedback you might give me over the course of the week on my application of the process and my specific review. Am not worried about making a mistake, but experienced eyes on a newbies (me and GA) work is always useful. Thanks --Mike Cline (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Outline update 2011-01-18, and an invitation...
Dear Julian,

Wow, you've blown way past me in edits. I'm overwhelmed - I'm twice as far down the ranking list as you. You've left me in the dust! Man-o-man, we could sure use some of your energy on the outlines project. ;) Speaking of which...

We've undergone a name change: the project has been simplified to "WikiProject Outlines".

The current main focus is on increasing the availability of outlines. If readers can't find the outlines, the outlines can't help them. We need to figure out the best places to put links, and the best ways to attract external traffic directly to these pages.

While studying the link structure to outlines, I came across a navigation aid I forgot we had that you might find useful:


 * If you'd like to use the main page with outline links instead of portal links, set Main Page alternative (outline links) as your default main page. See the instructions.

Due to the occasional sniping attempt on outlines and their support pages, outlines now have an alert page at WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts. Please go there now and add it to your watchlist.

Tarheel95 and Robert Skyhawk are working on a project to track traffic to outline pages. Speaking of traffic...

A discussion on outline traffic analysis has been started on the Outlines WikiProject talk page. You are cordially invited to participate. Your input is greatly needed on possible ways to increase the availability of the outlines. All ideas and feedback are welcome. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,  Th e Tr ans hu man ist   05:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

P.S.: don't forget to watchlist the alert page mentioned above. Cheers. -TT

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to, who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by , with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to, who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, , who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Added template for SuggestBot
Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 16:13, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
