[edit] Welcome to my talk page
You are also invited to email me at: jerry@lavoie.com. Occasionally I repost emails that I receive to this talk page, however I remove sensitive material and personally-identifying information, such as email address, first.
I frequently collapse sections once I think the conversation is done. The section will appear as a purple bar with a summary and a link that says "show". If you are leaving me a follow-on comment for such a collapsed section, please add the new comments below the collapsed section, NOT in it. If you add comments inside a collapsed section, I may never see them.
[edit] Jerry's 10 talk page rules
- Please no foul language, threats or namecalling.
See: Be civil.
- If there is any possibility (at all) that I meant well, assume that is the case, until proven or admitted otherwise. I will do the same.
- Please append your wikisignature to all comments.
- Please do not add any contentious material about me or any other living person.
See: WP:BLP. and No libel or slander
- Stop means stop. If we are in a heated argument, and I ask you to stop sending me messages on this page, then simply stop. If you think my conduct requires a review:
- Do not leave messages containing any personally-identifying information about children, including yourself.
- If you are here because a template showed up on your article or talk page, and you want to know why; 99% of the time, the information you seek is located right on the template itself. Please have the courtesy to read it first, then come here to complain or ask additional questions.
Also try: The helpdesk
- If I deleted an article/ image, etc, and you want to know why, please look at the log for the page... I usually leave a detailed explanation including a code like "CSD#G12, COPYVIO, Content was..." If you go to the deletion policy, you will likely find your answer faster than sending me a message.
- If you do decide to ask me why your article, image, etc. got deleted, please tell me which one you are talking about. I delete hundreds of things a day, sometimes, and I can't figure out which one you're talking about, without having to do hours of research. This is particularly impossible if you are not logged-in, and your current IP Address is different than what it was when you created the article, uploaded the image, etc.
- If you are here to complain about another editor, for whatever reason, please consider using one of the forums to alert all administrators of the problem. This will get you faster service, from among dozens of patrolling admins.
[edit] Notice regarding deletion reviews
This user is an active closing administrator at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you are considering initiating a formal review of a recent closing, it is requested that you attempt to have a discussion with me first, as required by WP:DRV. Give me a day to respond, as we may be in very different time zones. If you have a valid reason that my determination of consensus may be flawed, I appreciate the opportunity to revert my own closing or to explain to you my difference in opinion without the wikidrama that is often created at DRV. If you are here to drop me a template notice of a DRV you have already initiated, but we have not discussed it yet, please consider closing that delrev and talking with me first. Just add the comment "please close this discussion until I have a chance to discuss this with the closing administrator per WP:DRV" to the discussion, and an administrator will undoubtedly close it shortly, as long as other editors have not significantly participated yet. Thank-you for your consideration.
[edit] New discussions
[edit] Ha!
"I wonder if he will leave thank-you messages for everone who participates? If so, we might not see him doing anything else for weeks, hehehee."
I was considering it prior to the RfA, but at this stage I've given up on that idea. That said, I have thanked a few people whose supports (and in some cases, opposes/neutrals) meant a fair bit to me. And now I'm thanking you for giving me a good laugh.

[edit] WP:HAU
Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
