Yes! I have my talk page back, post below! Jussen 22:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Let's see if I can link to that thing now, it was User talk:Jussen/SuggestBot.

[edit] Blair Witch Edits
Actually, it's better to address your edits about an article in the article's Discussion page. After all, that's what it's there for. Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- Quite true. The talk page was more if one wanted to talk about spoiler warnings in general, which might not be a valid discussion for that particular article's talk page. Jussen 22:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Strike-outs
Just to let you know that, while I have not completley agreed with your methods, you have backed off when asked, and I appreciate that. My edit summary comments about users being disingenuous are not directed at you. Others keep removing spoilers from articles, and making changes to the guidelines (not the "under dispute" tag), and that is not right. The guidelines were made under consesnus, and should be followed UNTIL a new consensus is reached, even if it looks like the new consensus will be for removing the templates. - BillCJ 00:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ok I guess I'm just new to it all (not to Wikipedia so much, just to the policy side). How do we know we've reached consensus? Right now I just see a request for comment page that feels like churning through molasses. Jussen 01:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maryland
You were right about Maryland being in the second Public Ivy list. Cka3n only looked at the front cover and not the index which lists all the universities, including University of Maryland, College Park (http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/006093459X/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-3715339-8596602#reader-link). I have already fixed the list. Unsuspected 05:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Cool, I thought that was the case. It's interesting that the entire UC system appears to be on that list.
- It's pretty clear why UMD wasn't on the cover though. Since UC etc was on the cover, including UMD would imply that all USM schools were on the list, when clearly UMBC is not. Jussen 16:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your GA nomination of University of Maryland, College Park
The article University of Maryland, College Park you nominated as a good article has been failed. It had great prose and everything about the writing was nice. However, it had a complete lack of WP:Verifiability and it had obvious WP:OR. Everything in an article needs to be referenced. If you want to see examples of educational institutes that are featured articles look at Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Education. I personally like the University of Oklahoma article.

[edit] Sylvester James Gates
Hi! The only reason I have included this description is that I always try to put as much information of this general type as possible. Feel free to edit it as you find appropriate! All the best, Lubos --Lumidek 21:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Swoogle
Actually, I did delete the article, but restored it after somebody e-mailed me contesting the deletion. You are welcome to open an AFD discussion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- The creator of the article (Finin) is the one who contested its deletion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Maryland Terrapins
I thought that was a very funny caption; but I agree, not exactly encyclopedia-worthy material. Jussen (talk) 00:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Comma in UMBC's full name
Since the early or mid 1990's, it has been the official policy of UMBC that it's full name has a comma in it. since the mid to late 1990's, the University has been promoting its acronym UMBC as the brand. See the UMBC Office of Institutional Advancement style guide for evidence:
"The four-letter acronym, UMBC, is how we want to be known. The university’s full name — University of Maryland, Baltimore County — should be used when there is a need to be explicit about the name of the institution, e.g., when writing for an audience outside of the region. Even in these instances, the acronym should be used after the first reference. If UMBC is used throughout text, spell out when included in contact information."
