Requesting reconsideration of my "spam" contributions...
First of all, let me say thank you for dedicating your time to improving wikipedia.

I've recently made some contributions to various articles, and you have flagged as spam. As a starting point for discussion, please review the contribution I made here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cambridge%2C_Ontario&action=historysubmit&diff=323185370&oldid=323156043

In my opinion, this seems like a quality edit to an existing article, adding valid and helpful information to the article. If the site being referenced if your cause of concern, could you explain which aspects of it are deemed to be "spammy"? It is significantly more user friendly than the official census page.

I don't want to take up any more of your time than is necessary, but I would appreciate more of an explanation from you, if possible.

Thanks in advance, Jimmy socks (talk) 06:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, was wondering based on your greater experience whether the addition of forum links such as are ok...it's a new user. Thanks, SynergyStar (talk) 20:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Avatar (2009 film) protection
Hello Jamie, I've noticed you've protected the Avatar article. I don't blame you to be honest, but is there any chance you can change this to semi protection? The problem is coming from a single anonymous IP which keeps changing, not the registered users. I've reported the IP for 3rr violation, and the problem is that he keeps removing the proper budget estimate with references and replacing it with $500m. The reverts from the other editors have been to simply restored referenced information, so it would be great if we could get on with looking after the article. Thanks.

Christmas song links
Hi Jamie. I'm trying to figure out the rules here. Read the policies on spam. It sounds like my external links edits were appropriate but need to be reviewed by another person.

There's no reason that you can't report apparent policy issues to another user, but your approach did not appear to be a neutral one. First, you contacted an administrator who was already involved in the situation rather than contacting an uninvolved and neutral admin. Second, you did not take the time to confirm these allegations with the user, who is presumably mature and intellectually honest enough to handle them. Third, your reply rephrased my comment to mean that I was disagreeing with your motivation regarding the legal threats, coi editing, and self-promotion. For the record, I don't. However it is telling that the only issue you neglected is the accusation which led to the block and my involvement in the first place.

Medina, Ohio
Hello, Ohnoitsjamie. This is regarding your change to the Medina Ohio page on Dec 4 and the following message you left: "Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)" Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Medinafrancis1925" Hidden categories: User talk pages with Uw-advert1 notices

I did read all the Wiki pages prior to posting and I also read the current Medina page under the heading I posted to. There it lists several companies both national and local with no more or less relevance than Aadvantage Cab. Here is the actual text from that page:

'''Economy

'Due to Medina's location, approximately 30 miles south of Cleveland,[4] many residents of Medina now work in the Cleveland area and the city has acquired a somewhat suburban status.[7]Medina is home to the first Super Kmart Center.[9] The 24/7 grocery and general merchandise store opened in 1991 and continues to operate today. However, mainly due to Medina's boom in population throughout the 1990s, the novelty of having a Super Kmart soon wore off, and Kmart's lack of response to competition from Buehler's, Giant Eagle, Target, and especially Wal-Mart, left it on the brink of closure after Kmart's bankruptcy. Medina is also home to a Wal-Mart Supercenter, which is also an 24/7 grocery and general merchandise store. In recent years, Medina has encountered the arrival of other large retailers such as Borders, Home Depot, Starbucks, Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, PetSmart and Pier 1 Imports. In October 2006, Target completed an extensive renovation. 'Medina is still home to the A. I. Root Company, now a candle manufacturer. A. I. Root is also the name of the local middle school.'

'The Bil-Jac dog food company was founded in Medina in 1947. It is still locally owned and operated.

Here again is what I added: 'By 2004. Medina's population growth coupled with the city and county's increased enforcement of drunk driving laws, made it clear the community needed a full-time, full service cab company. In November 2004, Aadvantage Cab & Courier opened. Locally owned, they put several cabs in service to relieve the stress on the burgeoning court calenders by giving citizens a safe alternative to drinking and driving.'

In addition, the company I added has made many more contributions to the community and as someone who lives here I know that. I am not affiliated in any way except as a member of this community who has witnessed the impact the company has had. Having lost 2 family members to drunk drivers before they opened, I stand by my edit and will continue to. I will appreciate your either leaving it as is or removing all references to the other businesses as they are obviously a "soapbox" for large corporations Medinafrancis1925 (talk) 18:35, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Geico state insurance complaints.
I took out the lawsuit information completely until I have time to go state by state and pull up this information. I understand this point and deletion.

I don't see why the fact that Geico has substantially above average state insurance commission complaints can not be included when I also include the link to every state insurance regulation department. The state insurance department is the one and only source for this information. It is the only reliable, verifiable source of information on this.

I think that the assertion that geico's profitability is related to it's lack of agents is false. But this is listed as true when there is no verification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.2.217 (talk) 19:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Spamming Claim
Hi there,

I'm not sure if the message you sent me was automated, because if you look at what I'm doing, I think you'll agree that it's not spam.

I am definitely adding links to OpenRegs, but it is relevant for all the pages. OpenRegs is a site that keeps track of regulations from federal agencies, and what I'm posting are sites keeps track of the regulations from the specific agencies for each page on Wikipedia.

I was worried I might get flagged for linking to it for all of the agencies, but I think you'll agree that what I'm doing is legitimate. I have noticed that DMOZ is a legitimate site to link to, and I think OpenRegs is, in the same way. May I continue?

 * Yes, I am affiliated with the OpenRegs. Part of the appeal of OpenRegs is that it is an alternative to Regulations.gov, since OpenRegs actually has a separate page for each agency, while Regulations.gov does not, so OpenRegs is more easily navigated.  Does this qualify?--Seth Goldin (talk) 21:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Used car
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Used car. 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/Used car. 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) 01:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Lost Tampon=Joke?
OK, trying again - not sure why it is OK for you to refer to lost tampons as a joke but maybe if you actually had a medical background or did some research you would realise that this is a serious issue and that it is one that ought to be addressed in a serious article about Tampons. The section on Toxic Shock Syndrome seemed most appropriate - instead of ignoring the topic perhaps you could pass the review on to a woman or someone who isn't just going to dismiss this? It is hard not to get annoyed at someone who makes a snide remark about jokes and seriousness and can't even be bothered to find out if the topic IS serious. Perhaps it is unfortunate that the only information that has any depth about the topic available to refer to is trying to engage the topic with humor - but the content is completely serious - just read the comments on the link I posted to see how people feel about... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Owenl1998 (talk • contribs) 19:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Haifa Wehbe
Hi, I stumbled onto this article yesterday. Seems there's a bit of a brouhaha about the issue of how old she is. I removed the birth dates because there appears to be conflicting informatoin, and the date used is not backed up by the reference (it says she is 35 but does not say what her actual date of birth is). There are also other sources (not particularly reliable it must be said) saying she was born in 1976. At the moment I think the best thing is to not have a date in, unless there are some more definitive sources. Quantpole (talk) 16:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been tough to find a good source for it; the AFP article was the best I could come up with, but it's admittedly shaky. Unfortunately, if we remove it we'll probably have to semi-protect the article for awhile as there is an endless stream of anon's who'll attempt to add it/change it. I'm OK with either route.OhNo itsJamie  Talk 17:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeh, I agree that's probably the best out of a bad bunch. The problem is I can find other (albeit not what WP would call a RS) references to her winning a competition at the age of 16 in 1986, which would put her DOB in 1970, other ones say 1976. Hence, I would rather have nothing there. Better nothing than something that could quite possibly be incorrect. I think semi-p may be necessary either way.

Hi OhNoItsJamie - First, thanks for your work and effort in helping to maintain Wikipedia. I am the founder of BoffoBox.com and I want to apologize if I or Ridaderek have violated the EL policy of Wikipedia. Similar in form to IMDB.com, we provide both a free and paid version of our website. One for casual viewers and one for theatrical professionals. Per your EL policy, I realize that I was in violation by linking to a site that I own. I am hoping that you can help me determine how else Boffo Box is in violation of your policies. Our publicly available pages provide a wealth of information that is not available from other sources including show links, reviews, synopses, images, full credits, gross and attendance information and more. I feel that this provides enough unique and useful content to be of benefit to Wikipedia users who find this page. Boffo Box's goal is not to SPAM or violate policies in anyway but to help increase the usefulness of Wikipedia and in return gain greater exposure. Any help you can provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianmcm32 (talk • contribs) 06:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC) Brianmcm32 (talk) 06:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I thank you for taking the time to consider my case. But, I feel that you may not have seen everything that Boffo Box contains on the website when relating to shows. After reviewing WP:ELYES #3, i find that Boffo Box fully fits this criteria. View the page: This is a page for a show which has already done a Broadway run, and there are many aspects of this page which cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia format, if you click on the grosses button st the top of the show, a graph is displayed showing weekly grosses compared to their potential (this information is also updated on a weekly bases for currently running shows). If you dig deeper into the Boffo Box website by clicking the attendance/capacity sidebar you can also see a graph displaying the attendance at a show compared to the possible capacity on a weekly basis as well. This aspect certainly fits the requirements listed in WP:ELYES #3.Ridaderek (talk) 18:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A Chorus Line on Boffo Box
 * There is nothing further to discuss here. You'll have to find some other way to promote the site. Wikipedia is not the place for it. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi OhNo itsJamie - In your last response to me, you said that Boffo Box is non-notable. Could you help me understand what that means. I did some research and I came across these links: Don't Just Say Non-Notable. I have also read (Guide to Wikipedia Website Listing) that notability is not measured by an editor's subjective judgement. So it would be helpful if you could provide reasons why BoffoBox.com is not considered notable.

Again, after reading and re-reading the EL policy I can see why I and subsequently Ridaderek were marked as spam. I added a link to a site that I owned and Ridaderek added multiple links in a short amount of time. I'd like to walk through an example with you before you provide your reasons why we are not notable. Here are several links for the Broadway show A Little Night Music:
 * Wikipedia Page
 * IBDB Page
 * StageAgent Page

If you look at the link for StageAgent, it provides some basic information on the show including Synopsis, Character listing and some credits. But it also has 6 advertisements on the page. iBDB provides a listing of show credits and opening night cast information.

If you will then look at the BoffoBox Page you will see that we provide synopsis, show credits, show links, show reviews, and the past four weeks of attendance and revenue information on the show. With no out-side advertising but links to upgrade if users would like more information (again similar to IMDB which is another notable site on Wikipedia).

I hope that you will take the time to review these links. Again, it is not our intention or goal to SPAM or blatantly self-promote through Wikipedia. Our hope is that we can come to a mutually agreeable way that we can provide content and professionally verified information to Wikipedia.

This dispute was posted on WP:3O. Despite being resolved at least three other ways already, to satisfy the requesting user(s), I'll give my take. Since this site is not notable enough to merit its own Wikipedia page, citing the inclusion of IMDB is not a valid comparison, since IMDB is widely considered to be the foremost aggregation of facts about film and TV shows. The site also doesn't appear to include any shows outside New York City. Additionally, WP:ELNO #1 states, "One should avoid any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article."

Warning re Brendan Burke delete discussion
It is hardly a personal attack to point out someone's faulty reasoning. The editor took a broad description and applied it to himself. This was his response: "In that case, fuck you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 04:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC--Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2010 (UTC))"
 * Yes, I saw that response. Many consider it extremely inappropriate to be referred to as a "Nazi." If you or other editors continue to make ad-hominem attacks on other editors based on their AFD votes, you will be blocked. Period. OhNo itsJamie Talk 00:01, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is my response to your comment on my talk page where you suggested I had applied the same "personal attack" more than once.:

By applied again, do you mean that I posted essentially the same message at talk pages of both danflave and FisherQueen. It seems fair to make each aware of the comment since they were involved in the original conversation. If FisherQueen considers my comment a personal attack, what was the F.U. statement she posted? Perhaps you could explain what the "many people" considered a personal attack. I merely pointed out that FisherQueen took offense to a statement that she determined was directed to her yet it could have been a criticism intended to apply generally.
 * I'm going to suggest that you (and others) lay off the drama. I'm not interested in participating in AFD drama. My interest is in ending it. FisherQueen has stepped away from the situation; I suggest that you do the same. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 00:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I respectfully suggest you issued that warning inappropriately and have not made an effort to defend it and have not retracted it.--Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 03:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I stand by my warning for reasons that have already been enumerated by myself and others. I'm not interested in debating the matter further. OhNo itsJamie Talk 03:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You issued a warning that alleged I made a personal attack on another editor. You further claimed that I repeated that action and warned me "Editors who make repeated attacks on other editors (especially when they're based on a good faith vote at an AFD) will be blocked."
 * Since I made no personal attack, I asked you politely to explain your warning. You replied that it is "extremely inappropriate to be referred to as a "Nazi." and "if you or other editors continue to make ad-hominem attacks on other editors based on their AFD votes, you will be blocked. Period." I called no editor a Nazi and have never used the word on WP. I made no "ad-hominem attacks" on anyone.
 * Rather than explaining your warning as I asked, you compounded your error by further incorrect statements. I asked you to be explain your claim of personal attack and be be accountable for your acts as admin. You said I should lay off "the drama." Is it drama for me to expect that warnings should be justified by the person who issues them. I expect an accurate response from you, one that does indeed enumerate reasons for the initial and the second warning and does not reference words written by anyone but you and me.
 * If you are unwilling to retract or explain your actions, I will refer this to dispute resolution.--Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 04:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Please read the following:

You MUST (that's right I am emphasizing this word) look at the etymology of the word and the context.

From enotes.com "In modern times, the word "Nazi" has meanings that go beyond this. We of course use the word to apply to the actual members of the Nazi Party. But we also use it to refer to anyone who is a fanatic about a cause, especially one who wants to force others to agree with/be like them." and "Either way, the word's meaning (its "semantic range") has grown considerably in the last few decades of the 20th century. The popular comedy show Seinfeld introduced us to "Soup Nazi," for example, and women activists for equal rights are sometimes still derisively called "feminazis.""

Today there are "Shoe Nazis," "Spelling Nazis," "Style Nazis," etc. The list is extensive and could go on for pages actually.

The etymology of words change over time or vary by place. In the US a "biscuit" is called a "cookie," "Crisps" are "Chips," and "Chips" are "French Fries". Over time a "computer" stopped being a job that a person held, and started being a reference to a machine.

People have been PASSIONATE (there I go again using all caps) about this subject, but being offended by some of the comments that have been made really does take an assumption of bad faith on the part of the "offendee" in some instances. Lou2u (talk) 10:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

External Links Removal (Job Hunting, Cover Letters)
The links you removed were current articles (not advertisements) that speak to the subject of the topic. While I understand the question of conflict of interest, they are no more promotional than pointing to any 'branded' website (about.com, etc.) (and the examiner.com link is to a parody, not sure this is what you want to be sending people to). thanks, WillardRobinson (talk) 19:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Will Robinson

C++
Hi, I appreciate your concern over external links, but I think the link to C++Org should be on the C++ page for a few key reasons. The documents you mention above state:

"What should be linked
 * 1. Wikipedia articles about any organization, person, website, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any. See Official links below."

C++Org belongs to the C++ community and as it grows it will be an official hub of news, FAQs, software library reviews and so on. It has been running for about a year, with 200 users, so far. There is no charge for using the site, and it is entirely non-commercial (and there is no advertising on the site). It is endorsed by Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++ and there is a link to it from his home page.

"3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons."

C++Org contains much material that is highly relevant to C++, which for technical reasons cannot be integrated.

Could you please re-instate the link?

I think at the very least you could explain why you object.  Thanks in advance.dch888  —Preceding undated comment added 14:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC).
 * WP:EL and WP:Reliable sources, as well as the blurb at the top of my page, make it pretty clear. With 200 users, it's hardly notable among the multitudes of resources on thew topic. See also WP:COI, which suspect applies here as well.  OhNo itsJamie  Talk 14:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have already read WP:EL which I quoted above, and that page gives reasons for links to be included which coincide with the aims of C++Org. WP::Reliable sources I can't see how C++Org can be considered an unreliable source.  It is a community site, collectively owned by everyone and anyone in the C++ community.  The fact that it only has 200 users, is because it has only been running for one year.  We get about one new user a day, so in another year's time we might have 500 users - when is the boundary going to occur when you are anyone else at Wikipedia consider it to be "reliable".  The whole thing about reliablity seems to be highly subjective if you ask me - unless there is a specific section on that page which you are referring to, which you think C++Org doesn't comply with?  As far as COI goes, there is no conflict anywhere - as I've already said (at least twice), it's a community - owned and run by anyone interested in C++, it has no affliation with any paricular group and it is totally non-commercial.  For all these reasons can you please consider re-instating my edit?  Thanks, dch888.    —Preceding undated comment added 00:27, 25 February 2010 (UTC).
 * For the reasons I've already stated, no. I'm not discussing it further. OhNo itsJamie Talk 00:29, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not satisfied that you have answered my objection at all. I am therefore going to put the link back on.  If you take it off again, I will escalate it with Wikipedia management.  The conception for C++Org was with Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of the language.  This should be enough for you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dch888 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I am an admin, which is Wikipedia management. If you continue to add the link, I will block your account from editing. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly I think you are confusing the roles of administration and management. Secondly you have sent me a message saying "Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia"  which is the crux of the matter since I fundamentally disagree with your assessment that the link I am trying to add to the C++ page is "inappropriate".   Answer me this: how can a website, the original idea for which was from the author of C++, be considered inappropriate?  The only reason I want the link on the C++ page, is because the C++Org website belongs to the C++ community and should be linked from this Wiki page.  I happen to manage the C++Org website, but I only promote it for the benefit of the community - I have precisely no other interest in this website.  Simply saying "No, and I'm not going to discuss this further", not answering my specific points (which were answers to specific points raised in the official guidelines you referred me to) seems to be to be opposed to the spirit of this information sharing website.  Finally why should one person decide this?  This review process seems to be slightly inadequate to my mind, as for one thing there is no appeal process it would appear.  Please answer my specific points and tell me what the appeal process is (if any exists).  Thanks Dch888 (talk) 10:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You may also want to review our WP:COI policy, as it's pretty obvious that you're the owner of the site. I gave you a template warning reminding you that you will be blocked if you add the site again. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 14:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand your concerns here and that you have a job to do, but I think you are reading the situation wrongly. You seem to think that I have something personal to gain from this - I don't.  I have nothing to gain from it, other than the wider dissemination of information in C++Org to the C++ community.  I am not really the true owner of the site - the site is collectively owned by the C++ community.  I happen to pay for the hosting and I set it up (following the ideas from Bjarne Stroustrup and other members of the C++ community), but I do not own it.  I merely administrate it to make sure it runs OK.  I have contacted Bjarne Stroustup about this and he personally is going to request that the link be placed on the Wiki page.  I don't see how any more official you can get - the creator of a computer language asking for a link to a site being placed on the page about the language he brought into existence. Dch888 (talk) 23:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The answer remains the same. There is absolutely nothing notable about your site among the hundreds if not thousands of C++ websites out there. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle, period. As I said before, adding the site again will result in a block. Petitioning Barack Obama will not get your site up here. Please devote your energies elsewhere. Users who attempt to spam Wikipedia persistently will have their sites blacklisted as well. Please do not post here again about this topic. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 23:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Northridge cookies
Hi, Ohnoitsjamie. I see you just deleted Northridge cookies under WP:CSD. While I certainly agree that the article content was not encyclopedic and should have been deleted, unfortunately G1 didn't apply: "Pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history. This excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, vandalism and hoaxes, fictional material, coherent non-English material, and poorly translated material." The paragraphs in the article were meaningful English text; they just weren't appropriate for an encyclopedia. I'm not sure if any of the speedy deletion criteria applied, in fact; I was in the middle of declining the speedy request and substituting a tag when you deleted the article.

No harm done here, really—the article was going to be deleted sooner or later. I'm just a little concerned that the speedy deletion criteria are being applied rather loosely. —Bkell (talk) 01:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You're correct; I should've changed it to A7, as G1 was a bit of a loose application. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I considered that too, but I decided that A7 didn't apply either, because the article wasn't about an individual, an animal, an organization, or web content. It was about cookies (I think—there was also a bit about lunch ladies in there too). —Bkell (talk) 02:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It might not apply to the absolute letter, but I don't think deleting an article about a high school's cookies is going to be too controversial. OhNo itsJamie Talk 03:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Like I said, there was no harm done here really. However, I believe it is important for administrators to abide by the policies that have been established. There is a reason A7 specifies those four categories (individuals, animals, organizations, and web content) and excludes others. Arbitrarily deciding to ignore those restrictions and apply it to an article about a high school's cookies could come off as a bit BITEy and capricious to a newcomer. (Of course, take this with a grain of salt; there's also WP:IAR and WP:SNOWBALL.) I was just going to the article and let it die quietly and uncontroversially in a week. —Bkell (talk) 03:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Possible vandalism
Hello sir, sounds like a new IP user making some strange edits:  Thanks for the help. SynergyStar (talk) 23:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Apologies
hello. how are you. I'm sorry. I did not realize it at first that it was an Admin that did the change there. What I don't understand though, to be honest and frank, is why the bias against this source on this particular matter? Maybe cuz of the religious thing with Roman Catholicism? I guess, maybe. Or maybe the implying of exploitation, which I didn't really see there necessarily, so much. But, I have to say that I hope it's not to summarily in toto diss or dismiss any WT publication on any matter under the sun as "unreliable", cuz that's just not fair, accurate, or true. But I do understand the concerns though. No doubt.

But aside from that, regardless of any real or imagined over-tones there, I still think (I'm being honest and sincere here) that "Catholicism" is much more neutral and precise, than merely saying "Christianity". Plus the rest of the article DOES use the term "Catholic". "Christianity" is broad, and can mean whatever someone wants it to mean. But "Catholicism" or "Roman Catholicism" tells people just what form of "Christianity" it was.

I have regular history text books that say "convert to Catholicism."

Anyway, whatever happens happens. I am glad that the substance of what I put there to elaborate what went on in the Second Voyage was left. I do appreciate that. Like I said, I really meant no harm or slants or anything. In fact just the opposite. And established sources are established sources, even if we may not totally agree with everything they say or publish otherwise. But like I said, I do understand the concerns, especially when dealing with an overall religious magazine. I do hear that. Anyway, thank you. Sweetpoet (talk) 23:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Henna article external link
I restored the external link you removed from the Henna article because the link was allowed severla years ago after some discussion with other Wikipedia editors who agreed that the site is, in fact, non-commercial, devoted to information, research and discussion on henna and related topics. The site is owned by Wikipedia member 1hennaphd, who is a PhD candidate in geography at Kent State University, working on a dissertation on the development of the worldwide spread of henna usage since the 1990s. She did an extensive rewrite of the Wikipedia henna article in 2006. She included the link to hennapage.com because the site contains articles based on her own research and links to scholarly, technical, medical and scientific writing on henna and related subjects that go far beyond the limitations of the Wikipedia article. 1hennaphd owns a henna distribution business but on hennapage.com, aside from the links in the site header which includes text links to her commercial sites, there is no advertising, no solicitation to purchase any product or service or any commercial promotion expressed or implied in any of the articles.

I hope that you will take all of the above into consideration and let the link remain a part of the henna article. 49oxen (talk) 03:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

Alt text for images is required to comply with United States law on people with disabilities. Wikipedia requires alt text for Featured articles and soon will require it for all articles. See Alternative text for images. So if you see alt text that you do not like, please fix it rather than revert it whole sale.

You recently reversed edits I made to the Rainbow Bridge (pets) page. I edited a link that you have now left without any details in the External Links section (I see you fixed the [1] link now). Anyway, I still feel the link I added is completely relevant and non-commercial. Please reconsider.

Ps. I'm unfamiliar with editing the talk pages, so I hope I got it right this time by putting it at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, MsKirie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.215.194.135 (talk) 00:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Reference re-inclusion for Cloud_computing#Hybrid_cloud
you deleted a reference to an article about Hybrid Hosting, This is a reference to an article it's not spamming! please roll it back for this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Hybrid_cloud== —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabeez (talk • contribs) 17:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not rolling back anything. If you add spam links to your review site again, you will be blocked. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:50, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I have contributed in wikipedia about Hybrid Hosting which wasn't mentioned before and I got the reference from my site blog, so a link as a reference should be included, and that doesn't conflict with wiki guidelines, if you think ti does you have to prove it. Is it mentioned anywhere that you can not cite from reviews site blog??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabeez (talk • contribs) 17:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * In addition to conflict of interest issues, review blogs do not meet WP:Reliable sources guidelines, period. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I reviewed those, and I think the article doesn't have any conflict of interest! the article is only talking about Hybrid Hosting without any specific reviews about any web hosts. It's a pure technical guidance article written by experts! So it's NOT a reviews blog it's a separate section that had pure technical articles!

Why then you are not deleting citation # 18 on the same page: #18 ^ Cloud Computing Savings – Real or Imaginary?, it's the same concept, commercial site with a blog and the citation is from a blog post! This should be considered as a conflict of interest then! If you don't want to roll back my citation then you have to be fair and apply this to everyone! OR be fair and get back my citation! If you are not willing to revisit this issue I would want to escalate it! Nabeez (talk) 21:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Crime in Houston
I don't see where to put, so I am putting it here. I did not state any opinions on the Houston page. That is factually incorrect. I cited a Times-Picayune newspaper article. Facts cited: Houston's homicide wave began before Katrian. Houston recorded 225 homicides in the months before Katrian. Simple math tells you they were recording an average 28.125 homicides a month. They were on pace for 337 homicides that years. These facts are all verified in the newspaper article I cited. It is a fact that Houston gangs were targeting New Orleanians in the SW part of Houston. That's a fact. Those are facts. It is a fact that a false rape claim was made against New Orleanians and caused an anti-New Orleans hysteria in Houston. Those are facts. And here's one last fact: by deleting those facts you are promoting anti-New Orleans bigotry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.202.107 (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't see anything there that says the Times-Picayune is not a legitimate resource. Could you explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.202.107 (talk) 21:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a reference to the article's counterargument in neutral language, unlike the language used in your version. See changes here. OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

While I appreciate that you added reference to the Times-Picayune article, I still believe that the article, as stated, is dangerous. It still lends voice to those who are scapegoating the New Orleanians in Houston. The facts that I cited from the T-P article is extremely relevant to the scapegoating nature of the Houston article at this point. Therefore, the facts I cited should remain in the article, unless you are going to likewise remove the scapegoating nature of the article on Houston that currently exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.202.107 (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not Wikipedia's job to judge. The Houston Police's interpretation is presented, along with the Times-Picayune's opinion.  OhNo itsJamie  Talk 22:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

See, there you go again with this "opinion" nonsense. That is not an editorial by the Times-Picayune. That is all fact. And it may not be Wikipedia's job to judge, but it should owe something to the truth. HPD is doing what all public officials and offices do--- protecting themselves politically by pointing the finger elsewhere. The Times-Picayune is doing what newspapers do, report facts. Now, while I suppose that in wiki's zeal for being "fair and balanced" you may not have any problem with balancing the truth with a lie, the article, as you've edited it is not even balanced, as it does not take into account the many facts the T-P article cites. The fact that 19 of Houston's homicide victims that year were New Orleanians --- they were victims ---A FACT. The fact, that Houstonians went to such lengths to blame New Orleanians for their problems that they believed false allegations against New Orleanians and spread hysteria against them, only to mumble under their breaths later that they were wrong. The FACT that New Orleanians were being railed against as a major threat to Houston by local businesses who called them Katricians, as part of this hysteria. http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/18/nation/na-guns18The FACT that gangs in SW Houston targeted New Orleanians. None of these FACTS are in the Houston article. They all belong there since the article claims that New Orleanians are at fault for Houstons problems. You also conveniently left out that Houston experienced 225 murders before Katrina even ocurred. These are NOT opinions. These are facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.202.107 (talk) 23:16, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You're interpretation of "fact" is not in line with WP:Verifiability, WP:SYNTH, WP:Reliable sources, and WP:NPOV. I suggest you spend some time reading those policies. I've already added some balance to the crime section, including two sources (one you found, one I found myself) that cast doubt on the evacuees role in the crime increase. Your interpretation of why the Houston Police said what they did is an interpretation (i.e., WP:SYNTH). The fact that the Houston Police said it is well-documented. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 00:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Your last contribution was mostly OK, though I toned town the language a bit (calling it a "myth" is making a judgement on an issue that is contested; better to call it an "assertion" or something similar). I appreciate your efforts to bring more balance to the section; the current version is more neutral and balanced than the previous version. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 01:36, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

User:ZincBelief, The game (mind game)
Hi,

I see you dealt with a couple of years ago on The game (mind game). Looks like this editor has decided to become active on that article again. His edit summaries don't suggest it's going to be any more productive this time around. Any suggestions? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * As much as I'd like to help, you'd probably be better off posting at Wikiquette_alerts to get some uninvolved input. My patience levels aren't where they used to be, and I'd prefer to avoid the drama associated with that ridiculous article. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No probs. I prefer to avoid the centralised boards (locii for drama as they are) in the first instance, but I can understand your reluctance in this case. :) Cheers. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Valley Entertainment Monthly
There are now at least three links and references directly to VEM in the article now. You noted when voting "delete" that there were none, when in fact the Flipside Magazine article was there from the onset. In light of this, you may want to consider changing your vote as the article has been updated with the information you cited as being missing.

 * I'm not changing my !vote, as I still don't see any non-trivial coverage in a reliable source (i.e., as Flipside Magazine does not appear to be notable, I fail to see how it can lend credence to VEM's notability).OhNo itsJamie Talk 19:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Labrador Retriever External Link
Have you even read what an external link is? Let me help you:

Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

The link I posted is (1) on-topic and (2) cannot be added to the article because of copyright laws. The link will be added back as it is not link spamming, however, it is adding relevant information to the topic. Let me know when you revert or I can add the link back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myndp2510 (talk • contribs)
 * I am very familiar with the external link policy. I'm also familar with WP:COI, which apparently you are not. If you continue to add the links, you will be blocked. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest? That is my area of expertise and have given lectures regarding related topics. So by my understanding, having a doctor cite a related link to his publishing in a medical journal about a recent Enteroplasty would be a conflict of interest? Please explain how the link I posted does not provide a benefit to the reader? If you can provide a valid reason, then I will drop this issue.
