User talk:Jw6aa

Welcome!
Hello Jw6aa, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
 * Experiment in the sandbox.
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
 * Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
 * Be bold in updating pages.
 * Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
 * And most importantly, have fun!

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — Bcat

Experiment
Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 20:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

3rr on quizzing.co.uk
I've blocked you for WP:3RR on the afore-mentioned article. Please discuss this here, if you wish to William M. Connolley 20:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You have blocked me under the 3RR. I dispute it because I was correcting simple vandalism. The user 195.93.21.33 was turning the page into an advert, by seemingly pasting an utterly own POV version to the page. Please look at my contributions, I stand by them all. Jw6aa 20:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Look at the article now. it's a blatant POV violation and is an advert. Legitimate sections have been removed without justification on talk. Jw6aa 20:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I admit that this appears to be a perfectly valid removal of gumpf. I'll have a closer look. Some advice: people asserting that they are remving vandalism, when all they are doing is having a content war, is very common. Please make sure that extensive reverts are clearly backed up on the talk page. William M. Connolley 20:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Closer look:, , , and  are just a content war, to me. You'll have to sit out your block. Please remember that you get no free 3RR pass just for being (or believing that you are) *right*. Out-reverting people isn't good. William M. Connolley 20:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I contend that it is vandalism in question in most of the examples you cite, as it is a reversion of a seemingly pasted POV version of the article. On the other occasion I have tried to fix the final article with a legitimate edit that was made to the POV version. I don't just believe I am right, 195.93.21.33 is removing content without justification or discussion on the talk page. This is vandalism. Jw6aa 21:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

86.130.214.85/Quizzing.co.uk
I still get the impression that this is a content dispute, rather than vandalism. Whilst you are clearly doing the right thing by trying to direct the IP to the talk page (and I've tried to do the same on their talk page), you should still be careful not to cross the WP:3RR rule (if they cross the line they can be reported to WP:AN3. That exists to stop pointless continual reverting of an article, even if you are 'right'. If I have time I will try and do some NPOV work on that article... Petros471 20:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you quickly confirm for me that you're not a business rival of Quizzing.co.uk? The anon keeps claiming this, and I'm not inclined to dig through the talk page to find out whether you have admitted that you are or whether this is just another personal attack. --Sam Blanning(talk) 10:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I run a web site (123Quiz.net) that they consider to be a rival. They also consider Davidbod (who created the article) to run a rival web site (ukgameshows.com). My feeling is that this is because they don't want anyone else editing the article. Left alone it becomes a pro-Quizzing Ltd advert. My aim is to keep it neutral. I continually ask what edits I have made are not neutral and consider their problem to be with me personally rather than my editing. Jw6aa 11:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Throughbred racing project
A number of Wikipedians have come together and formed the WikiProject Throughbred racing  to help to expand and better organise information in articles and categories related to the sport of thoroughbred racing. As a past contributor to horse racing articles, we invite you to consider becoming a participant in the project, and/or adding the page to your watchlist so that you become aware, and can join any future horse racing discussions, which may be of interest to you.

Striking your vote
Hello Jw6aa,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely, Kizu Naoko Philippe

Non-free use disputed for Image:UKGameshows.com logo 200.png
Thanks for uploading Image:UKGameshows.com logo 200.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

#### Oscars
Instead of creating more #### Oscars disambig pages, please create them as redirects to the appropriate #### Academy Awards pages. I have already disambig the later through all the appropriate years. We don't need duplicate disambigs when redirects will do the same thing. Let me know if that doesn't make sense. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I should have gotten all the #### Academy Awards ones, but it would be good if you could double check me. The early years didn't follow the same pattern (there were actually two ceremonies in 1930, I was surprised to learn). I'm hoping I didn't make any mistakes, but it's always possible. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 02:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thumper
Hi. If you're reinstating (or just adding) entries on disambiguation(=dab) pages, like you did with Thumper, could you make sure that the linked article at least mentions the dabbed word/phrase? This would make it much easier for the cleanup editors from MOS:DAB to keep dab pages clean, not to mention to not accidently delete entries that have a right to be included. I.e. you seem to have knowledge about Jeremy Paxman but I have never heard of him. If he is really (widely) known as Thumper, you should make this claim in his article, not the dab page. Thanks. :-) – sgeureka t•c 19:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I reverted because it is OR; no reference to this nickname from a 'hard copy' publication is on the web. A handful of references on personal websites do not count for Wikipedia. Philip Cross 20:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London


Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Jw6aa! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is an  Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

AfD nomination of Water hog
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Water hog. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Water hog. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

London Wikimedia Fundraiser
Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:UKGameshows.com 2007-07-23.png
 Thanks for uploading File:UKGameshows.com 2007-07-23.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
