Paul Jaquays

 * Not been a lucky month for me lol :¬) just recovering from conjunctivitis so not been around much for the past fortnight.
 * Anyway, any chance you can take a look at the situation regarding Paul Jaquays (Talk:Paul Jaquays. MoS discussion on italics and any amendments that may have been made to the individual projects style guides regarding italics usage?) Rather than me cause problems with italics removals I thought maybe you would like to copyedit it as you are a member of the D&D project? Chaosdruid (talk) 20:34, 24 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that - as you are a D&D project member I think you can better apply any necessary waiving of MoS :¬)
 * I did not want to start taking out all the italics just because the projects are not updating their style guides. It would be easier to follow the D&D style guide (as my interpretation of the MoS would make me de-italicise them against the seeming consensus of the project itself), a rock and a hard place lol. Maybe you could have a shot at doing the D&D style guide updates as well?
 * Anything you need me to do in return? Chaosdruid (talk) 13:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

JJJ Images
Hey, myself and another editor are trying to figure out if we can/can't have 3 images of various covers in the Juke Joint Jezebel article. I figured you'd have an opinion, so check it out and see what you think (whether you agree with me or him, this is NOT a recruiting attempt).

Current drive participant, again
Thanks for clarifying. Don't mean to be a Pollyanna but noticed that Operation_Day's_Work hasn't really been sufficiently copyedited. In the intro there is "has helped spreading this type of volunteerism" and in the paragraph titled "Denmark" subheading there remains a sentence that ends "students are no longer considered to be truant during this day" when it really should be qualified with "non-participating students are no longer considered to be truant during this day." In addition there are multiple spelling errors in names of countries in the charts that follow.--Aichikawa (talk) 22:18, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

Do not edit war with the IP editor. There are other ways to deal with that kind of behavior.. - 4twenty42o (talk) 23:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand that...but when you re-add the same info he deletes or vice-verse... I also see that what he is doing is purely attempting to push his point of view and own the article. Which will get him cool down blocked if you stop reverting him and let me help. - 4twenty42o (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on List of industrial music bands. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Doesn't matter. edit warring is edit warring. See dispute resolution. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 23:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a dispute resolution, not vandalism. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 23:27, 6 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The Beast is correct..I try not to template the regulars when I can be reasonable. But to answer your question. Now that things have settled down the user has been reported to the appropriate venue. I would strongly urge you to become more familiar with WP:3rr and WP:EDITWAR Cheers!! - 4twenty42o (talk) 23:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * We have admins here to help us sort out the fine line between guidelines and policies. When everyone follows the rules things actually work out pretty well... They'll decide what constitutes vandalism. Now just let the admins do their job. - 4twenty42o (talk) 23:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * What you have there is an excerpt from the guidelines regarding 3RR and edit warring and what is and is not.But what you are failing to realize is that ultimately it is a content dispute and by reverting the user instead of reporting the silliness to AN/I, instead after xx number of times trying to add your content (and re-adding the content the anon removed)you, yourself became party to an edit war. Now, I guarantee you that most of the anon. IP's edits were initially in good faith. But the continued argumentative, unexplained way that things were being handled turned it into a classic edit war (that could have been avoided) once again. I am not upset nor offended by what transpired, nor do I think you were wrong per se. Things just weren't handled properly in my opinion. - 4twenty42o (talk) 19:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

The Gem and the Staff
Is there a way to say it about the original module (the tournament one from the late 70s) without being repetitive to its similarities with the one printed commercially by TSR? 129.33.19.254 (talk) 18:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Self Revert on Tea Party Movement
Saw your self-revert; thanks for being fair minded about it. Ultimately the material may end up not being retained (not sure yet), but I'm sure it can be worked out on the talk page rather than flipping back and forth. Respect, AzureCitizen (talk) 19:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

good editor
You are a good editor in that you and I see how badly the Obama article is written. Trivial laws, such as the Ledbetter Act may be important to Ms. Ledbetter, but are not integral parts of President Obama's biography. As such, it should be removed. Things like closing Gitmo or Don't Ask Don't Tell are more signature Obama themes. Don't let those bullies ruin the Obama article. BAMP (talk) 17:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

List of KMFDM band members
So I decided to start this article, just in my userspace for now. Check it out here: User:MrMoustacheMM/List of KMFDM band members. I think you're allowed to edit my userspace if I agree to it, so if you'd like to make any changes or try some ideas please feel free to do so. Or feel free to leave me suggestions and ideas on the article's talk page or my talk page or here (whatever you prefer).

If you do edit the article in my userspace, just undo the last edit and save (so that it will say "Currently being edited" in big red letters on the top of the page, so I don't go and start having edit conflicts...if you see the red "Currently being edited", then I'm currently editing it), and when you're done change it back to big green letters saying "Not currently being edited" and save.

I figure your chart would fit well on this page once the article is sorted out more. I ordered every name chronologically by first appearance, then within each year ordered alphabetically. I somewhat simplified instruments played (for example, some guy played some really specific trumpet, which I just changed to "trumpet"). I wonder if FM Einheit's contributions should be simplified to, say, "noise" for this page.

For now, I picked a few categories to split people up into. A couple end up in the live section and guests section simultaneously (Ogre is one), not sure if that'll work out or if we should distinguish live guest appearances, possibly like this:
 * Ogre (1997, 1997 live, 1999)

I'd like to make this a bona fide article once it's more ready, and specifically once it has some more sources. Whenever possible I'd prefer to use non-primary sources instead of or. I'll have a look at adding some sources here in the future, but if you happen to think of any offhand, again, feel free to add/mention them.

Anyway, take a look, have at it if you'd like, and definitely leave me any feedback you can think of. Thanks! MrMoustacheMM (talk) 05:00, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
