Alphabeiscization

 * What a stupid system we appear to have here at Wikipedia... (there's probably some reason for it that I don't know). Anyway, here's the issue, you need to put the authors name inside curly brackets like this: (you don't need to do it now; I did it for you (well not just for you but also for the rest of humanity!).

 * Anyway, I had never encountered this problem myself before, so I'll let you know how I went about solving it! Read on, and you'll be a wiki-sleuth like me I no time! First I checked out your contributions to see exactly what article you were talking about. - to do this, click on any user's username and then click on 'user contributions' which appears in the 'toolbox' on the left hand part of the screen (third white box down). From here you can see every edit a user ever made! I saw that you had created an article called 'Jason Roush' (just as you said). I went to it and clicked on one of the categories and confirmed that Jason was being categorised according to his first name, contrary to all the other people in the same category. I delved into one of the author's article at random and took a look at the code within. I searched for something, anything, not knowing what to expect or what exactly to look for. Then it hit me in the face like a cup of luke-warm yak plasma -> DEFAULTSORT. I ran back to Jason Roush and tried out my new trick. --Seans Potato Business 02:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Ooops, sorry about that!
Thanks for letting me know...I thought this was like an e-mail box and that messages could be deleted after they've been read. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I appreciate your help.

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Jason Roush
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Jason Roush, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Jason Roush
I have noted a similarity between your user name and the article Jason Roush that you have made multiple edits to. You may want to review WP:COI to decide if it is appropriate for your to edit that particular article. If I have made false assumptions please don't take offense.

Re: Jason Roush
I created a user name in order to create an article about a professor, so I used that name as the log-in prompt. I'm sorry about any confusion. Because I'm new to Wikipedia and didn't plan to create more articles immediately, I didn't foresee this conflict. Thank you for pointing it out.Profroush (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The article appears to have progressed nicely and does not appear to be a conflict of interest. Neither does it seem to be a problem with Neutral point of view.  Welcome to Wikipedia may you have much happy editing ahead.  If I can be of any assistance please let me know. Jeepday (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Jason Roush
An editor has nominated Jason Roush, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 "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 by adding your comments at and 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. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
