RfA
As someone who was also nominated for adminship by an inexperienced Wikipedian, I want to say I was surprised and saddened by how badly that went - I was headed for bed when I saw the transclusion and expected to be able to research you and probably support when I got up. For what it's worth, you have my sympathy and apologies. However, feel free to archive/delete this quickly if you'd rather not be reminded! Yngvadottir (talk) 13:12, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I was surprised myself. I don't know why users think I would be unfit for the admin tools (especially since I've used them elsewhere). It was a lark anyway, so I'm not exactly crestfallen but surprised and disappointed nonetheless. Thanks for your kind words. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:22, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It may have been a good idea to pull it; you should be able to run again soon, or at least, sooner than if there had been a big fight over the quality of your nom, or some other silliness. Best of luck. - Dank (push to talk) 01:44, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw this too Justin. RfA is a brutal, brutal place and very rough on people, and on purpose, because it can be hard to take tools away from someone once given so people will nitpick almost anything. My RfA actually went pretty smoothly by comparison to most but it was still an extremely stressful week for me. I wasn't criticized on things I thought I would be (mostly my lackluster content creation skills), and got attacked for things that I still to this day think were unfounded. It's not something anyone should consider lightly. I'm glad you took the wise route and withdrew voluntarily. I was nominated by someone who was a respected admin (and really if they hadn't come to me for a nomination I wouldn't have ran, I didn't like my chances and felt like I had enough to do without the bit already) and I'm sure things wouldn't have been much better for me if I'd done so under the same circumstances as you. I'm glad this process hasn't upset you too much, I don't know if I'd have taken it as well. --  At am a  頭 21:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . That was a surreal experience, honestly. And it's compounded by stupid stuff in real life as well. It's nice to have some strangers say such supportive things. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:34, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It's true that I'm a stranger, but not a stranger to the quality of your work. Let me know if I can help with this stuff in the future. - Dank (push to talk) 10:45, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Chronic Town and Murmur
Regarding your reverts of my changes to the categories: Chronic Town cannot be both the debut EP and the debut album. It is an EP and the debut one per that article's lede. Likewise, Murmur is the debut album. It is the first studio album and R.E.M's first release of an album (debut) and this is also stated in that article lede. I am not going to change them back, but I notice you have been questioned before about this type of reversion. I just do not do edit wars of any kind. So have it your way...whatever.  Fylbecatulous  talk  15:01, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * EPs are albums. Note that Category:EPs is a subcategory of Category:Albums. It can't not be the debut album. This isn't having it my way: the discussion about EPs and their categorization has been had many times for many years in many venues. "I notice you have been questioned before about this type of reversion"? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:06, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

 * @WheresTristan. Hello. I think WP:DTTR applies here. While I agree the edits to the page could have used at least some kind of edit summary, Justin would likely better appreciate the constructive criticism if it were addressed directly to him in your own words. -- Racer X11 Talk to me Stalk me  18:00, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Naming conventions, Hunt Library
Hi,

I saw you moved James B. Hunt Jr. Library to James B. Hunt, Jr. Library. While I understand convention dictates including the comma before the Jr. for articles about people, shouldn't an article about a library take the library's name? (I.e. does precedent really dictate imposing a punctuation mark in the name of a non-person?)

Thanks --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  18:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Update: Nevermind. Looking around, I'm seeing the university does use both. (See the library's about page which omits the comma in the title but then includes it.) I agree it's best to stick with standard punctuation then. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  18:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Stop I get it. This is grand. WP:DASH. Changes which bring a page in line with the MoS are not the same as edits which make no change to a talk page's appearance or functionality. Your posting here is not serving any purpose. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:47, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Sorry I apologize, since this is a genuine question. I feel like the templating at all was just petty and really unnecessary since the same thing was posted earlier and you posted it in response to criticism of your actions on your talk. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Just to make clearer. I only informed the other guys that I left you a message and I did not make any further comments on the matter on my talk page. Thanks for explaining. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:54, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Justin: the templating was inappropriate, for sure, but the request was not. I see other editors have asked you the same thing recently. Would you be willing to use edit summaries for your edits? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:00, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * MSGJ just to make clear: I was not templating. Check my comments above. I left a message in here and I did not connect it with any other discussion. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 09:42, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * You did template. You typed {{subst:Uw-editsummary}} which substitutes the contents of Template:Uw-editsummary. This is a template.

Examples that bypassing redirects is acceptable
Hi again. You may want to read this bot request for instance: Bot_requests. Moreover, I believe this may be really interesting for you: User_talk:Od_Mishehu. Many thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 12:04, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Granted but this is different because those stub names were ambiguous and presumably split into different types of stubs so they removed one generic name in favor of multiple specific names. Replacing with  does not serve this function. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:42, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * True. I just answered to a question I thought you posed about redirects. If you check the edit history of who adds redirects for bypassing, you 'll see I am only removing and not adding unless there is a very specific request to do so.
 * The latter is for not confusing bots that add WPBS in pages or do other changes such as BattyBot and Josvebot. It is certainly not an urgent matter and I am not planning in doing it. Some of edits were to aid these bots. Thanks again for the quick replies and feedback. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

One of the most popular tools for assessing can't recognise redirects. Inexperienced editors who are trying to help could do things like these: User_talk:OccultZone. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Help?
Hi, I finally got a chance to email... well, I still have to sneak to use the minutes here online while I learn how to walk well. Problem: some of the great photos sent to me from the photographers I've dealt with in Flickr require the time to upload them to Wikimedia.org and then more work. I'm going to forward the email I sent from one man in Boston for a few photos needing the upload. Could you do that for me? It appears harder to figure out how to upload the photos as opposed to this time last year, too. One link to the Flickr pic I had in mind might be wrong, too..

 * The image is at the extreme left and in the upper part of the side bar. The Wikipedia icon and some of the links are superimposed over the image.

R.E.M. chronology
Thank you for your kind words. I changed the R.E.M. chronologies so that there was always a "R.E.M. chronology" available for people to click on. I did so because it appears that, in the case of R.E.M., by convention the chronology includes video albums; I'm fine with that. However, you reverted my changes which were based on that assumption, and in doing so highlighted a problem with the chronology templates.

While the templates for live album and studio album allow you to incorporate the above convention into the first chronology, the video chronology template does not - the word "video" is always in the chronology, even if you blank out the type.

Hence I moved stuff around so that if there was a video article, I would create an R.E.M. chronology below that. Does that explanation make sense? If not, let me know. If yes, could you possibly revert the changes made... or come up with a good justification for "R.E.M. videos video chronology." :) Fantailfan (talk) 01:00, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Right: the template reads "videos". I can actually edit complex templates and I'll try to change that functionality so that the main chronology in Infobox album leads in a straight line from X to Y to Z and that additional chronologies can highlight videos if users want to navigate those. The problem is with the template, not with you. Thanks a lot! —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:37, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

How I Met Your Mother
In this edit, I have manually reverted one of your edits to Duel Citizenship, and integrated information you removed in another. While Eaglestorm seems to be mass reverting your edits (see here and here for reverts made today), with a series of repeated edit summaries using phrases such as "pogrom" and "johhny comelately editor", I have ensured that the tags you placed remain and that my edit is completely justifiable.

This is my interpretation of what has been happening: you made a series of mass edits on HIMYM articles about a month ago, removing sections you deemed to be unencyclopedic (presumably thinking of WP:TRIVIA and WP:V when making the edits). Many have been partially or fully reverted over this past month, especially by Eaglestorm. By sending you this message, I have finally gotten around to trying to spark discussion as I have not seen any place where this issue is being discussed. (Please point me to a discussion if there has been one.) I have no opinion on whether you or Eaglestorm were acting wisely when making edits to these articles but it seems to me like we should get consensus on whether "Cultural references" and "Barney's blog" sections are valid, and whether anything needs referencing if they are to be kept.

I am also sending a (briefer) message on the same topic to Eaglestorm. Based on the Busy template on his/her talk page and the fact that (s)he has been reverting your edits in big blocks, with large spaces of time between, may mean there will not be a response from his/her end, or no response for a while. I am willing to discuss this here, on my talk page, on any relevant HIMYM talk page or anywhere else. I am very active so can respond quickly if you use Template:Ping, Template:Talkback or post anything here or on my talk page. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 15:38, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Trivia and citations You are correct that sections listing music, self-published references to Barney's Blog (which were credited to the fictional character of Barney Stinson), and sections explicitly titled "trivia" are trivial, so I removed them. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)


 * First: I would like to point out that this message should be read in a perfectly polite tone. Tone is often misconveyed online and since I originally thought your reply was somewhat rude, I would imagine you are going to think the same about my reply unless I clarify this now.
 * Secondly, I don't believe I ever said the information was trivial, and if I did, I didn't mean to. I merely stated that WP:TRIVIA was something you were basing your edits off - and would like to mention that it only concerns how trivia in list format can be presented better: it is not (unless I'm misreading the nutshell template) justification for removing content entirely.
 * Thirdly, I am somewhat afraid you and/or Eaglestorm are going to start mass reverting edits. Please don't.
 * Fourth, I am definitely against any sections explicitly titled "trivia", and have often reverted edits like that in the past.
 * Fifth, I'm still not getting a sense of proper justification here. Do you object to the content because it lacks referencing? If references were provided, would you be fine with the content? What exactly is wrong with a list of music contained within an episode? What is wrong with "Barney's Blog"? Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 16:04, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I did not mean to be condescending in my previous post: you are correct that I am attempting to say that sections of trivial information are inappropriate and those are examples of such sections. Citing trivial information is not sufficient, as it's still trivia but any uncited information can be removed at any time. E.g. look at FA- or GA-class TV episode articles and you'll see that none of them have sections like this. Listing the music that appears in an episode is useful only for explaining how it relates to the episode's construction, reception, notability, etc. (with citations). These kinds of trivial lists are entirely appropriate for http://himym.wikia.com (and can be easily ported there). Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information nor is it a repository of in-universe plot summaries so several of these articles are appropriate for alternate venues or will have to be restructured and cited. If someone spent some time four or five years ago to make these, someone can spend some time fixing them now and taking what is not appropriate for this site and moving it to another site. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Although resorting to WP:OSE, Lisa the Vegetarian does contain a section entitled "Cultural references". The article is FA-class and the section certainly meets that standard. This was the first FA-class article I thought of - A Streetcar Named Marge and The Last Temptation of Krust also have similar sections. While no HIMYM section that I've seen meets any of those standards, I do object to absolute removal of anything that can be labelled "trivia".
 * The "Barney's blog" sections seem to me to be an extension of the plot description - just because they are outside of the show (and possibly out of canon) does not mean they are irrelevant. They appear on the CBS website and simple one-line descriptions of the blog seem to me to be relevant.
 * Given the millions of viewers that watch each and every episode just on its first broadcast in the US, and the hundreds of millions of views it gets on repeats and in other countries, I also think music in the show - especially significant clips - can be relevant. Take the song "500 Miles", for instance: it is used in several episodes (first in Arrivederci, Fiero) and even has its own story described by Future Ted.
 * I have discovered several songs I love from the show: I would imagine I am not the only one who found songs through the show, whether simply listening once on YouTube or saving to favourites and playlists. I remember reading multiple blogs online complimenting the music used by HIMYM: they really do use music very effectively. I remember vividly the haunting "Stones" music in the background of "A Change of Heart", for instance. Anything large enough to be explicitly recognised by a large portion of viewers, whether a cultural reference or song, is something I would certainly consider mentioning in the article. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 16:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Cultural references sections are useful and necessary when you have a parody of pre-existing media (such as "A Streetcar Named Marge"), dense or obscure references to a person's life and work ("Lisa the Vegetarian"), or which have themselves generated significant coverage in third-party works (the Canyonero in "The Last Temptation of Krust"). Frequently, these sections are used in articles about (e.g.) Family Guy or South Park just to explain a joke or as trivia and fan theories. If a piece of music was moving or important, then it will be referenced in third party sources and can be discussed in the reception or mentioned in the plot of the episode. Indiscriminate lists include music which is not moving or which is not referenced by anyone else discussing the episode in reliable sources. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:35, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I think one of my biggest flaws as an editor is identifying reliable sources. Please take a look at, and  and see if any are "reliable" and contain music that would be worth mentioning (or expanding beyond a simple list if it is already mentioned) in either the article about the song or the article about the episode it was used in. While my opinion is definitely not reliable, I would certainly agree with several pieces of music mentioned there - and was listening to one earlier today while editing. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 16:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sources These passing listicles are probably appropriate for a quick mention in the critical reception of the article but probably not in the song's article. It's more important for understanding that episode than understanding that song. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I already have a lot to do here and not enough time but there are areas where I have been active (e.g. CfD) where being an admin would help clear out a backlog and speed along things that take too long.

R.E.M. compilation
Hey, I left a message on the history page, but not sure if you saw it. Also, not sure why we need 600 characters more to do the same job as the spaces. Is there any use I'm not aware of? Other browsers or OSs? It looks perfect to me with no "nbsps". I'll check back here. Thanks. - 187.20.71.73 (talk) 14:39, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * WP:DASH Non-breaking spaces serve a function of keeping together information around line breaks. Also, an ndash is not the same thing as a hyphen. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:31, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I still don't understand why the change. The spaces were doing their job fine with no need for nbsp at all -- compare before and after the change, they look exactly the same, but before with 600 characters less. And the original list didn't have hyphens, only ndashes, so nothing changed there. - 187.20.71.73 (talk) 02:14, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, I just removed a category you inserted here - Hoaxes in the United States. Although the coven's existence is disputed, I don't think it can be called a hoax in the same way as Piltdown man for example, and certainly has nothing to do with the US!

Question about flags in infoboxes
Usual use of flags once designated the country of origin and/or place of death in biography articles of musicians. I was a fairly new Wikipedian at the time, (or just too lazy or busy like now) to care when en.Wikipedia agreed that flags do not belong there-- it should be found in the text of the articles. Back then, prolific editors here removed most of them, though I have found occasional cases that weren't cleaned up. My question is about non-biographic articles (sort of) like this one for Andy Green -- Wing Commander Andy D. Green, OBE BA RAF. Any idea as to policy?

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wolverine: First Class. Since you had some involvement with the Wolverine: First Class redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Steel1943 (talk) 15:17, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi there
Hi, Koavf, this is just a test post to see whether I can make edits with this account. I created another account, with a highly provocative name, and tried to edit here, but that failed because of the edit filter. Mellow Hello (talk) 06:48, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It worked! Welcome! —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:48, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, you might not be welcoming me if you knew what my other account was. It's called I Condemn Homosexuality. The edit filter totally stopped me from making any edits with that account, so it seems to be working well. Mellow Hello (talk) 06:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. If you want to contribute to the encyclopedia or just say hi, then we're glad to have you. Even if you just want to read what we've tried to write for the world, that's good, too. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob's Watches


A tag has been placed on Bob's Watches, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
