Strauß

Hello James. I'm surprised to see that you restarted the requested move at Talk:Franz Josef Strauß. I think that this shouldn't have happened before a month or two had past since the canvass. Regards, Húsönd 02:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


For what it is worth James, while the initial closure struck me as unfortunate, I agreed with you and after many disagreed with the closure you opened it up again after a few days, as was proper on a consensus based project (whether those asking for the re-opening were too hasty is for them to decide, not you IMO). I don't see anything wrong in your actions and do not feel you have anything to regret or feel embaressed or such over. Infact I admire that you were willing to override your own previous decision when people asked. Hope the experience doesn't sour you to the understaffed WP:RM.

A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR

...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "H"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "I"s, "J"s, and "K"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 20:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Response to a vandal revert

No... its not quite vandalism. Vandalism would be if I made up stuff, much like your run of the mill retar... I mean born agains do. I just pointed out that they are an extreme minority, even here in the US, and that most sane people don't like them. Thought it made the article better myself. And by the way, I'm flattered you care enough to follow my edits on two seperate articles. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.161.219 (talk) 09:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually adding the text "However, those in the know know that they all did it for the lulz!" most certainly is vandalism. James086Talk | Email 09:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:GEM Monopoly box.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GEM Monopoly box.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 15:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Copy of Deleted Article Sri Asaramayan

Hi James,

Can you please provide me the copy of the deleted article Sri Asaramayan. I was away on holidays and couldn't get a chance to see and reply to the discussions of deletion of that article. I am yet to ask the administrator who deleted the article as well. But in the mean time if I can get the copy from you, it will be great.

Thanks Rohit (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Re. Strauß / Strauss

That's okay, I wasn't mad about this situation or anything. :-) Thank you for contacting me about it though, your gesture was genuinely appreciated. Best regards, Húsönd 16:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club

Hi James. I'm getting ready to reinstate the Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club entry if you don't mind, with complete information on why we're significant, I can send you four or five articles about our Club from Atlantic Boating News (www.atlanticboatingnews.com) When I launched the page this past summer, we were at sea on vacation and really didn't have time/opportunity to perhaps go into depth as much as I could have. (i.e.- SUPERB hurricane hole, as evidenced by Hurricanes Gustav (2002) and Hurricane Juan (2003), which pretty much destroyed marinas in Halifax and Pictou, Nova Scotia and two marinas in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Our Club burgee has been added to Yacht Club page as an example because New York Yacht Club yanked theirs over copyright issues. Not a problem with us, as I designed the Burgee and released it to the public domain.

Discussion would be most welcome. Thank you!

The image Image:Antistatic-mat.gif that you uploaded was licensed (an image license says where and under what conditions the image may be used) only for use on Wikipedia. While this may seem an appropriate way to license images, Wikipedia aims to be reusable so that it could be printed by someone or put on disc etc. That means that an image permitted for use on Wikipedia could not be reproduced. Also, while Wikipedia isn't commercial, images that aren't permitted for commercial use aren't allowed either because it is designed to be re-usable by anyone, even if that is for commercial gains.
In order to use an image on Wikipedia, there may only be a few restrictions on its re-use. It would be hard to explain, so I will provide examples of licenses that are allowed, hopefully this will make it easier to understand:
    • Public domain: This means the image is completely free, the person who made it has released all rights so that anyone can use it for any purpose with no restrictions.
    • Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY): Anyone can use it for any purpose, the only condition is that the original author of the image must be credited.
    • Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike (CC-BY-SA): Anyone can use it for any purpose, the only conditions are that the original author of the image must be credited and when re-used it must be under the same license. This means you can't edit the picture and then make it copyright.
These are the preferred licenses, and while there are more, they are very similar to these in conditions. If you own the rights to the image, then you may license it under one of these licenses (or similar)and it can be uploaded to Wikipedia. If you do not, you could take a photo of an antistatic mat and license it as you choose. I hope it's not too much to take in, I was very confused at first, but I now find myself explaining licensing to many others. If you have more questions feel free to ask.

Project Blades

Hi,

The members of WP Football keep getting their knickers in a twist about wanting to delete the Sheffield United project (or subsime it into some taskforce thing). (See here) I've headed them off at the pass so far but more views and consensus on the Blades project page might be of help.

Deletion of page about Loyola College

Hi there. A page about Loyola College i recently created has been deleted. I read the reason but didnt understand very well. I Would appreciate it if you could explain for me. I would be happy to fix the problem or remove what ever it was from the article that may have been innapropriate to wikipedia guide lines =) thanks

By the way i tried to include the source which was a link to the school website but i dont think i did it right... please help

School now has a source

Hi James 086. The Loyola college home page has now been added as a source. I'm not sure how the message at the top saying it doesnt cite any refrences can be removed but i assume someone will. By the way can you tell me why the page appears differently to most other wiki pages. I cant quite pin point its exact difference but somehow it appears unique as if missing certain default features found on other pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ADude8 (talkcontribs) 11:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching Re-confirmation

Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you. MBisanz talk 09:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

*wave* Hi! :D

Hi! I was recently paired with you by User:Mbisanz for admin coaching. I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am currently a junior year undergrad student majoring in mechanical engineering. I first joined Wikipedia in 2006, but didn't actively edit until October of last year.

In January, I was nominated for adminship, but for several reasons, including only being active for three months (which technically really would have been four months), I did not show enough experience to the editors to get the mop. I was recommended to receive admin coaching, so here I am!  :-)

I'd like to work on narrowing down different WP:CSD categories (especially when some new articles fall into multiple categories), how to effectively proceed with AfDs (how to AfD an article with NPOV, judging objectively, properly keeping discussions civil, and possibly close AfD discussions), and properly participate in wiki IRC to interact with more editors to gain more experience.

I currently work on WP:NPP using WP:FRIENDLY (I can tag articles, but I can't seem to find where to click to send the generic welcome user-talk template) in conjunction with WP:TWINKLE. In addition, I patrol articles on several categories with WP:AWB, including typo fixes, fixing formatting errors, tagging proper project banners, etc. I also manage the WikiProject Universities Collaborations of the Fortnight as well as managing most of WikiProject Robotics.

I was also recommended by another editor recently to perhaps begin to create new articles in my field of interest on WP:RA. Although I love the sound of that, I keep finding wonderful existing articles in my fields of interest including robotics, mechanical engineering, and others. Any help in narrowing down which topics I should start articles on would also be great.

I understand this is a lot to ask of you, and seeing that you already have two other students, I know I'll be stretching you very thin, but I'll be stretched thin as well. My academic studies in conjunction with the fast approach to my senior year academic design project that is required to complete for my bachelors degree, I'll have a lot of time before I will even think of accepting another RfA nomination at least until May, if not later, so I hope in the several months to come, I may learn much from you. Anyways, a brief bio including a link to my previous RfA is on my userpage, which feel free to browse around! I look forward in learning from you! - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 09:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Point of clarification: James086 has volunteered a capacity of 0/1. If you two hit it off, he'll be at 1/1. That was just an example above. MBisanz talk 10:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

First thing to ask... haha

Hey! How's it going? I'm in a bit of a bind here. I'm trying to see if I can settle this proposed change of the WikiProject Universities infobox (discussion here). I really don't see how changing fields (and particularly, the chain reactions the proposed changes will affect) will help the WikiProject. I've just started an informal voting to get a jist of what the general vibe from the editors is. Personally, I'm against this change, but I just can't find the proper words to convince them that the problem right now is the editor who inputted the data into the article in the first place may have made errors and it is not the fault of the infobox necessarily.

  • Oppose: current system has made adaptations to accommodate a majority of university articles on Wikipedia. Main argument at the moment revolves around few articles with specific needs that can be solved with simple line breaks (<br />). Although pointing out weaknesses in wiki templates is encouraged to provide better revisions of current standards, this particular string of edits does not seem very constructive to the WikiProject. Making changes that affects the thousands of article this WikiProject affects based off of few individual articles shows the unwillingness of the original nominator's inflexibility and lack of knowledge in infoboxes themselves. No offense or anything. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 01:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm seriously thinking someone's going to whack me with a WP:CIVIL bat, so I was wondering if I could get a second opinion (you know, the third person always sees the clearest?), refining my wording, perhaps you might understand where I'm coming from and identify the thing I cannot put into words for some reason. Any help would be great! Thanks! (Oh yeah, if you're on AIM, my s/n is "Jameson L Tai"...yeah I know, not very creative. hahah) - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 01:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Your CSD Essay

It's really nice and provides some pretty good insights to some of my CSD discussions. A couple of questions though...

  • G4: If the article was speedy deleted before, can I nominate for CSD G4?
  • Articles with titles that does not correspond with the article whatsoever, what should I do with those?

Thanks for your help with this. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 02:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello, you have yourself listed as a coach on the Admin coaching status page. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to coach me. Or at least offer up more advise than simply "visit AfD".

Streamlink

Hi, User:Chris Rodgers has expressed some concerns over the deletion of an article I tagged last night. You were the deleting administrator and I would like you to take a look his arguments on my talk page and contact him if necessary. I have already left him a friendly message about the deletion process.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 23:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

TWW's response was helpful and a worthy example for wiki discussion, but my reply on his talk page explains in clear detail why the article did not qualify for a speedy kill (as opposed to even a rewrite or VfD tag). Anticipating also your significance comment above, it also explains why the article is significant. Especially as fast as new articles fly by these days now, I take you at your word when you say above that you're capable of mistakes like the rest of us. If you want to suggest points for improvement, I'm open to them, but it is/was definitely not the advertising/non-encyclopedic speedy-delete material that G11 provides for, and I'd appreciate your reviewing my comment there and restoring the thing. Thanks. Chris Rodgers (talk) 01:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, wait.... *starts to panic* Shit, and here comes de-syoping. Tiptoety talk 02:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hahaha...tricked ya! (I am surprised it worked)
Close, if you would have put "Push this button and get a piece of candy", I probably would have gone for it without even thinking first. Tiptoety talk 02:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it linked right to the deletion page. Tiptoety talk 02:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, no I can not see that. :( That would have been awesome though! Tiptoety talk 02:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

"Admin vision"

Not that I really care since I'm not a sysop, but this code in Sysop.js is not going to work because addLink() is not defined. P.S. Please do NOT reply on my talk page. —AlexSm 04:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I found it a bit strange that it hadn't worked, but I have reverted now. Thanks for explaining though. You! - Crank dat Soulja 08:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

AFDs...

So I've closed the second and third one... The first one's kind of tricky. So I'll need a little bit more time to work this one out. I've got loads of research and assignments due this week, including my junior engineer design poster presentation on Friday's Senior Engineering Design Showcase. I'll try to do the first one some time within a day or so. Sorry for taking so long. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 17:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

status update

Just so you know, I responded to your query at Talk:Flood (Halo) about the image; as for the Bungie images, Luke hasn't responded to my last message, so I may have to bug them again. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 14:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

by the by... what kind of info does the Halo Effect have? If it's got some good out of universe info, I'll prolly buy it off Amazon. (I still need to get a print copy of Contact Harvest so I can source stuff when I get to working on Covenant (Halo)...) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 14:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
