Hey, Jeff. The new version of WatchlistBot (the one you were testing) is back online. Your watchlist is still there. (The bot was down for a long time due to a bug in the XMPP library I was using as well as a shortage of spare time on my end.)
So... if you want to continue using it, it's back now. Just thought I'd let you know. :) -- Chris (talk) 20:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I am so frustrated trying to edit in wikipedia - I didn't actually create this profile but am attempting to edit it and now I am learning that a user is not supposed to write a page - there are other editors- a publisher and a vertebrate paleontologist both attempting to edit as well. I just really am not that good with computers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amoun-Pinudjem ( talk • contribs) 03:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jeff, it looks like you are running a bot to find dead links. It marks .onion links as "dead", which is not correct; At least, if your bot isn't using TOR to check those links. 80.109.22.34 ( talk) 06:22, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi jeff thanks for contacting me,im still finding my way here on wikipedia and apprciate the advice,I am aware of the serious nature of the work here,and have avoided deleting infomation as much as possible,however the complete lack of infomation on the occurence of man made plutonium in the section marked "occurence "struck me as something that needed imediate attention,I will in future use article talk pages and reference more, thanks once again sebastian barnes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebastian barnes ( talk • contribs) 20:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
HJ Mitchell, please expand here on "just wrong" as posted to my RfA and quoted below, as requested in my post of 02:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC) below. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 16:08, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
7. Oppose. Jeff has always seemed like a nice bloke when I've come across him, but he seems far too focused on attaining every hat under the sun, and he seems to see his various user rights (and adminship) as a status symbol. The umpteen million hats he wears across various wikis shows that he probably knows how to mash the buttons, but adminship on what I would call a "real" WMF wiki (ie one that hosts educational content rather than those that exist mostly for editors) is much more about judgement than button-mashing. Jeff, I'm not convinced that you have that judgement, at least not yet. I've declined an extraordinary number of your AIV reports in the past (and found your responses to concerns about your accuracy with Huggle and AIV reports to be less than encouraging), to trust you with the block button just yet. Your accuracy rate seems to have improved of late, to give credit where it's due, but I've also seen less of you at AIV. Finally, you seem to have a bit of a problem admitting when you're wrong (or at least dealing with good-faith disputes), as seems to be evidenced by your edits at Navy Mutual Aid Association recently—you tagged a long-standing article for speedy deletion under A7, which was declined by an admin because it had an obvious assertion of significance, so you slapped a load of maintenance tags on (without nay real effort to fix the problems yourself), then PROD it (and if the other editors' summary is anything to go by, you clearly didn't look for any coverage to help establish notability). After the PROD was declined, you sent it to AfD with a rationale that seemed to suggest it had had some arbitrary time limit in which to improve, and made this reply to another editor, completely overlooking the substance of their argument. That gives me great concern about how you would use the delete button, and is fairly typical of your haste, excessive zeal, and your determination that you are right and refusal to back down when you might not be. Sorry Jeff, I would like to support some day, but right now you're displaying too many traits that the admin corps could do without.

Additionally, the answer to question 7 is just wrong, as a cursory glance of WP:SOCK would show. I expect RfA candidates to haveat least read the policies they would be enforcing if their RfA were successful. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Harry--Last month I made my first stab at a Wikipedia biography entry, and it was a chore. Then a couple of weeks later an editor named Khazar, now no longer on Wiki, completely deleted my entry. This entry has become a ground for skeptics trying to defame a well-known psychic detective named Noreen Renier (entry title). Consequently, I entered a supportive entry. Khazar in his editing summary stated "it's going to have to have the opinions of both sides fairly presented--skeptics and believers alike". However, he then deleted my entire article, removing the only "believers" contribution in the article. I attempted to revert it, but not knowing exactly how to do it, I ended up with only my contribution in the article. So I undid that and decided I needed to contact someone who knows what they are doing with entries. Please let me know if you have the time to help me out. Much appreciated, WashTeh — Preceding unsigned comment added by WashTeh ( talk • contribs) 01:34, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
First and foremost which should be said to just about every editor, thank you for your work. At this time, your RfA was unsuccessful and has been closed. I'm sure several editors will be point below with recommendations on how to improve for your next RfA, but I would recommend to you that you gain a better understanding of administrative policy and it's a good idea to watch RfA and review previous RfAs before running. I would like to highlight HJ Mitchell's comments as they are what will best set you on your way to your next running, as most of the comments seem to come from there. Overall though, I wish you the best of luck on your wikijourney and feel free to talk to me if you ever would like an opinion on running for RfA (or one of the many others who are willing to). -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 03:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Can anyone please help me to understand how my answer to question 7 could be construed as inconsistent with WP:SOCK, and how to construct a better answer? Thanks. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Assume we have a new editor with one edit. Start here if you are waiting for an edit.
