Hello, I am looking for a citable source with a good definition of "all-district performer" in US high school sports. This is to improve our article on Vince Young. Every sports site I can think of takes for granted that the reader already knows what this means. Google brings back plenty of hits, but all the ones I have checked are all just saying "so-and-so was an all-district performer". Vince Young played high school football in Houston, Texas if that affects the definition. I don't know if the criteria is standard across the nation or not. Thanks in advance for any help.

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! -- Ozgod 20:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Johntex I noticed this article 2 (25th February) days ago without any deletion notice on its page. But it's been deleted within 2 days or may be less. How can it be possible? I searchED in WP:AFD Log/February 25,26 and 27 for its archieved debate discussion, but didn't find. Above article discussion page link shows the article had lack of book notability.An editor stated it. But it doesn't mean it will get deleted within 1 or 2 days without any discussion(At least 5 days for certain deletion template).His contribution history doesn't mention that he took this article for AFD(You can check its talk page history). As a reference, Ian King, this article also once deleted and riderected as Ian King (businessman) within 1 day or may be in some hours. I retrived it by notyfing the admin who deleted it. But Deleting article / image without any discussion stands against the policy. Can you please clarify and help me to find out its debate discussion.Thanks -- NAHID 12:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Why do you purpose that this option should be added to the template? "Customizable" templates go against consistent and professional outlook; we shouldn't allow editors to put the colors per their own likings, as this might be harmful to the NPOV design of Wikipedia. Furthermore, colors generally don't add any encyclopedic value into articles, but Myspace characterization instead. You've also mentioned that they were other templates that enable this feature, can you please provide them? I'm due to submit a deletion review, and some opinions of keep !voters would be helpful. Thanks. Michaelas10 (Talk) 15:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It looks good, keep up the great work. Johntex\ talk 15:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I wanted late you know the following matters about
International University of Business Agriculture and Technology. You'll find some information in it's description page. Take a look on it and feedback pls :
It was one of the 11 universities that went operational without University Grants Commission (Bangladesh) (UGC) approval which was made a necessity under the Private University Act (1992) in Bangladesh. And, it was one of the 10 univerisities that the UGC issued a deadline of one year to improve qualities. It also introduced new academic courses without UGC approval along with a number of other private universities.
Here comes to the point.As this Univ's improved quality then these stuffs may not be added to the article.And the Footnotes are backdated. The university's already established linkages with foreign universities. You may check its website for further information (faculties, facilities etc.). Few years ago, UGC ordered to improve qualities of some private univs in Bangladesh. But now they are following UGC'S rules (like other univs) and operating as full-fledged university. -- NAHID 15:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I left you this:
My contrib history shows that deleted book link is still exist (
[6] that I talked with him), but Uucp's cotrib history doesn't show he tagged on 31st January and again on 26th February(
[7] and
[8]).Does it mean that after deletion process, its history autometically be removed from tagger history's page and exist in creator's page? Can you clarify it to me --

And:
WP:FUC says, we can't use fair use image in Userpage, Subpage and My Sandbox. Therefore this image is Image:The Book of Muscle.jpg fair use and we can't use it, right. I have this Book, so I'm thinking to take a picture of this cover page. Is it okay to upload this cover page under free license? (Since I'm the creator). And can I upload any advertisement image (That was taken by myself) in both wikipedia and wikimedia under free license. Is {{ Redundant image}} used on both free licensed and fairuse licensed image? I would be happy if you answer my queries (including above matters) :) -- NAHID 21:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed link from the sandbox. Can I use any image link or whole image (that's released under free license), interwiki links and article link in my My Sandbox sand box? You can check here.
It means we can use that beer advertisement image (that featured two women in bikinis) in Bikini article??? why would featuring two women in bikinis be fair use for the brand of the beer?? Is that a main point for using this image? That image features a bottle and can it be used as fair use image in article named Bottle??
Does it mean it ilustrates Brand image and Brand image is not fair use. The image is used in Brahma (beer) and Brazilian beer. Can you pls explain a bit simple way?
Most of the time, when user's get permission from the author to use their image in wikipedia, they release it in {{ cc-by-sa}}, {{ GFDL-self}}. But they don't ususally use {{ self2}} or anoher version of its copyleft. Why don't they use it? Is there any difference between these three licenses (or free licenses)? Can I use {{ self2}}, when I get permission from the author to use their image in wikipedia and wikimedia (by mentioning permission link in image description page)? -- NAHID 10:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Even though I am not supporting Pornopedia any further, I watch passively as the train wreck of the Ejaculation article continues (it's like reading the Enquirer). I am baffled though, just you as an administrator, do not step in to stop it or help those involved bring this to Arbitration. Every person that has brought up objections has been called a variant of a bible thumper by Atom, which is actually a violation of the whole WP:Civility. And, despite all Wikipedia policy on the matter, Atom is insistent that people should change for the image and not the other way around. Each substitute image gets thrown up on the page beside it, and now sock puppets are beginning to show up and proclaim innocence to knowing that their contributions had been altered by themselves? At what point does it stop being constructive and just become an absurd parade of people trying to do the right thing versus those who are pushing their own agenda? At what point can it be said that this is actually hurting Wikipedia rather than making it better? Looking at the User_Talk pages of many of the people with objections, Atom tries to push the parts of policy that are convenient to him on them in an attempt to shut them up. This is yet another form of abuse. And lastly, how many of these discussions involve Atom talking about his own size, his own ejaculations, how extraordinary they are and how it is all "normal".
Face it: Atom is a troll, not a contributor.
And he's being allowed to abuse other users while walking all over and reinterpreting Wikipedia policy as fits his want.
Trevor is most likely either a sock puppet or a friend of Atoms, and this too, I believe is a violation of Wikipedia policy.
Should you or anyone else finally take actions against him, I will be there to support you. But I will not take any steps towards that end on my own. It is my ever so humble belief that Wikipedia deserves to suffer this kind of stupidity until it can have enough collective sense to fix itself. That does not start on the bottom with people like me. -- jsa 09:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Johntex,
There is some serious POV involved in the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Texas_Longhorn_football_team#Texas_A.26M
I think the pass interference call on Sweed was pretty well summed up by the ABC announcers "Oh you gotta call that..." While there was the possiblility of a a late hit by Heard, there certainly wasn't an "eviction"...maybe an "ejection," and it was nowhere near the sideline. I think the talk page expresses it pretty well, so please take a look and tell me what you think.
I would be happy to edit it myself, but I think I would be reverted ASAP. It is amazing that this is told exclusively from a one-sided argument and I think it reflects poorly on your institution. If you'll back me up on at least adding the other side to the argument, I'll take the time to add it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BQZip01 ( talk • contribs) 22:28, 2007 March 3

In re this revert, I respectfully disagree. WP:NLT doesn't require a legal threat to be "specific". The user is inviting an unnamed "someone" to take a legal action against Wikimedia. The user is not posting a reference to a law in furtherance of his or her position on the matter, but merely stating that if someone files a complaint with the FL atty general, Wikipedia will be screwed. This clearly falls outside the accepted form of dispute resolution on Wikipedia. Most importantly, it functions to chill vigorous talk page debate on the subject by implying that a legal complaint could be filed if the image remains. As I noted at AN/I, I believe this isn't a call to imminent legal action (which isn't a criterion at WP:NLT, by the way), but is functionally a threat against Wikimedia. Anyway, perhaps more discussion at AN/I would be appropriate. · j e r s y k o talk · 14:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:SI cover November 1998 Ricky Williams.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Hi John. Do you really believe adminship to be a responsibility that we need to be certain people would be able to deal with? I guess I've never thought of it as such ... it's just a few handy extra buttons to me, which is why I thought Ben would make a good candidate. Altjhough, that's an aside ... I just wanted to make it known that that your reasons to oppose the candidacy ("we don't know if he'll be able to cope") doesn;'t seem like me to be really a reason to oppose, as he's done nothing wrong, it's effectively reasons not to support. Would you consider, possibly, reconsidering (to neutral?)?

Hi. In this edit to Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 8/Template:Linkimage, you wrote "I would like to ask JeffG for an explanation of how he chose whom to invite." I am replying here because the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 8/Template:Linkimage is now closed. I think I chose to invite Atom by adding to that user's user talk page because of that user's contributions to Template_talk:Linkimage, and I chose to invite many other users by adding to their user talk pages for the same reason (and for contributing to Template:Linkimage) - sorry, I don't remember exactly. I also chose to invite watchers of multiple relevant article talk pages (for articles which used Template:Linkimage at the time) by adding to those article talk pages. I did this all over a two-hour period from 22:10 on 8 March 2007 to 00:08 on 9 March 2007 (UTC), mostly in the first 1.5 hours. All of these invitations were in direct compliance with "Please consider adding {{ subst:tfdnotice|TemplateName}} — ~~~~ on relevant talk pages to inform editors of the deletion discussion" in the "Give due notice" instructional subsection of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#How to use this page. I am sorry if I chose too broad an interpretation of "relevant". — Jeff G. 22:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm perhaps over-sensitive on this point, but Everyking began his statement by calling me "dishonest and hypocritical." This dates back to some unpleasantness between the two of us some two years ago. I don't believe I've interacted with you before. Do you agree with that part of his statement as well?

I know I'm probably nitpicking, but at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#Death_of_Gas_Guzzling_SUV.27s, you accidently said a family uses "$800 gallons of gasoline" when I think you meant to omit the dollar sign, Just for the benefit of all reading, it would be clearer if you omitted it.

I've nominated 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.

I have no idea if this is helpful at all or has been brought up yet, but I don't really want to read all the previous discussions about including Mangum's photo (and don't really want to get involved), so I thought I'd just provide you with the information so you can do with it what you wish. I don't know if people have attacked the reliability of the photo released by KC Johnson because it's a blog, but The News & Observer has just released the same photo [14] (albeit at a far worse resolution). They also released a photo of her during the lineup. The caption of the photo, however, only says "Mangum has avoided reporters" and gives no sense as to the date or source. The same article also gives more details about her life including alcohol abuse, etc. I'm leaving this same message on Duke53's page. - Bluedog423 Talk 16:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am looking for a citable source with a good definition of "all-district performer" in US high school sports. This is to improve our article on Vince Young. Every sports site I can think of takes for granted that the reader already knows what this means. Google brings back plenty of hits, but all the ones I have checked are all just saying "so-and-so was an all-district performer". Vince Young played high school football in Houston, Texas if that affects the definition. I don't know if the criteria is standard across the nation or not. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Johntex I noticed this article 2 (25th February) days ago without any deletion notice on its page. But it's been deleted within 2 days or may be less. How can it be possible? I searchED in WP:AFD Log/February 25,26 and 27 for its archieved debate discussion, but didn't find. Above article discussion page link shows the article had lack of book notability.An editor stated it. But it doesn't mean it will get deleted within 1 or 2 days without any discussion(At least 5 days for certain deletion template).His contribution history doesn't mention that he took this article for AFD(You can check its talk page history). As a reference, Ian King, this article also once deleted and riderected as Ian King (businessman) within 1 day or may be in some hours. I retrived it by notyfing the admin who deleted it. But Deleting article / image without any discussion stands against the policy. Can you please clarify and help me to find out its debate discussion.Thanks -- NAHID 12:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Why do you purpose that this option should be added to the template? "Customizable" templates go against consistent and professional outlook; we shouldn't allow editors to put the colors per their own likings, as this might be harmful to the NPOV design of Wikipedia. Furthermore, colors generally don't add any encyclopedic value into articles, but Myspace characterization instead. You've also mentioned that they were other templates that enable this feature, can you please provide them? I'm due to submit a deletion review, and some opinions of keep !voters would be helpful. Thanks. Michaelas10 (Talk) 15:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It looks good, keep up the great work. Johntex\ talk 15:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I wanted late you know the following matters about
International University of Business Agriculture and Technology. You'll find some information in it's description page. Take a look on it and feedback pls :
It was one of the 11 universities that went operational without University Grants Commission (Bangladesh) (UGC) approval which was made a necessity under the Private University Act (1992) in Bangladesh. And, it was one of the 10 univerisities that the UGC issued a deadline of one year to improve qualities. It also introduced new academic courses without UGC approval along with a number of other private universities.
Here comes to the point.As this Univ's improved quality then these stuffs may not be added to the article.And the Footnotes are backdated. The university's already established linkages with foreign universities. You may check its website for further information (faculties, facilities etc.). Few years ago, UGC ordered to improve qualities of some private univs in Bangladesh. But now they are following UGC'S rules (like other univs) and operating as full-fledged university. -- NAHID 15:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

It means we can use that beer advertisement image (that featured two women in bikinis) in Bikini article??? why would featuring two women in bikinis be fair use for the brand of the beer?? Is that a main point for using this image? That image features a bottle and can it be used as fair use image in article named Bottle??
Does it mean it ilustrates Brand image and Brand image is not fair use. The image is used in Brahma (beer) and Brazilian beer. Can you pls explain a bit simple way?
Most of the time, when user's get permission from the author to use their image in wikipedia, they release it in {{ cc-by-sa}}, {{ GFDL-self}}. But they don't ususally use {{ self2}} or anoher version of its copyleft. Why don't they use it? Is there any difference between these three licenses (or free licenses)?

Even though I am not supporting Pornopedia any further, I watch passively as the train wreck of the Ejaculation article continues (it's like reading the Enquirer). I am baffled though, just you as an administrator, do not step in to stop it or help those involved bring this to Arbitration. Every person that has brought up objections has been called a variant of a bible thumper by Atom, which is actually a violation of the whole WP:Civility. And, despite all Wikipedia policy on the matter, Atom is insistent that people should change for the image and not the other way around. Each substitute image gets thrown up on the page beside it, and now sock puppets are beginning to show up and proclaim innocence to knowing that their contributions had been altered by themselves? At what point does it stop being constructive and just become an absurd parade of people trying to do the right thing versus those who are pushing their own agenda? At what point can it be said that this is actually hurting Wikipedia rather than making it better? Looking at the User_Talk pages of many of the people with objections, Atom tries to push the parts of policy that are convenient to him on them in an attempt to shut them up. This is yet another form of abuse. And lastly, how many of these discussions involve Atom talking about his own size, his own ejaculations, how extraordinary they are and how it is all "normal".
Face it: Atom is a troll, not a contributor.
And he's being allowed to abuse other users while walking all over and reinterpreting Wikipedia policy as fits his want.
Trevor is most likely either a sock puppet or a friend of Atoms, and this too, I believe is a violation of Wikipedia policy.
Should you or anyone else finally take actions against him, I will be there to support you. But I will not take any steps towards that end on my own. It is my ever so humble belief that Wikipedia deserves to suffer this kind of stupidity until it can have enough collective sense to fix itself. That does not start on the bottom with people like me. -- jsa 09:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Johntex,
There is some serious POV involved in the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Texas_Longhorn_football_team#Texas_A.26M
I think the pass interference call on Sweed was pretty well summed up by the ABC announcers "Oh you gotta call that..." While there was the possiblility of a a late hit by Heard, there certainly wasn't an "eviction"...maybe an "ejection," and it was nowhere near the sideline. I think the talk page expresses it pretty well, so please take a look and tell me what you think.
I would be happy to edit it myself, but I think I would be reverted ASAP. It is amazing that this is told exclusively from a one-sided argument and I think it reflects poorly on your institution. If you'll back me up on at least adding the other side to the argument, I'll take the time to add it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BQZip01 ( talk • contribs) 22:28, 2007 March 3

In re this revert, I respectfully disagree. WP:NLT doesn't require a legal threat to be "specific". The user is inviting an unnamed "someone" to take a legal action against Wikimedia. The user is not posting a reference to a law in furtherance of his or her position on the matter, but merely stating that if someone files a complaint with the FL atty general, Wikipedia will be screwed. This clearly falls outside the accepted form of dispute resolution on Wikipedia. Most importantly, it functions to chill vigorous talk page debate on the subject by implying that a legal complaint could be filed if the image remains. As I noted at AN/I, I believe this isn't a call to imminent legal action (which isn't a criterion at WP:NLT, by the way), but is functionally a threat against Wikimedia. Anyway, perhaps more discussion at AN/I would be appropriate. · j e r s y k o talk · 14:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:SI cover November 1998 Ricky Williams.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Abu badali ( talk) 16:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi John. Do you really believe adminship to be a responsibility that we need to be certain people would be able to deal with? I guess I've never thought of it as such ... it's just a few handy extra buttons to me, which is why I thought Ben would make a good candidate. Altjhough, that's an aside ... I just wanted to make it known that that your reasons to oppose the candidacy ("we don't know if he'll be able to cope") doesn;'t seem like me to be really a reason to oppose, as he's done nothing wrong, it's effectively reasons not to support.

I am attempting to organize and expand the article but I am met with great resistance. This is becoming a controversy within a controvsery.

I added references that support my additions and still they were reverted. Sentences are being written over which altered the facts. We can't rewrite history.

I have started working on the article Education in Bangladesh. It was in an extremely bad shape. The last few edits were turning it into a motley hotchpotch of text, link and image for private university/English medium agenda-pushers. Even without that the article had little content. I have began by putting in an enormous amount of fresh text, and even more massive amount of resource links (Banglapedia, government sites and downloadable pdf links). Now the real work should begin.

Thank you for support in my unsuccessful RfA. I appreciate the support, and am disappointed on being judged by what in most opinions seem to be the wrong things. Until next time, edit on! :) — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 03:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Johntex. Plase, reconsider this. Posting another person's personal information may be considered harassment. Please, take this as a good faith warning. Best regards, -- Abu badali ( talk) 15:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for supporting my RFA, Johntex. It ended successfuly :D Cheers SGGH 20:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I am contacting everyone who participated in the discussion that became inactive in December. Due to the length of the previous discussion, I have proposed a new amendment and you like you to weigh in so that we may actually have a consensus on this matter as it doesn't seem there exists one either way. - ΖαππερΝαππερ Babel Alexandria

Thanks for uploading Image:Sports_Illustrated_cover_02_10_07.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Abu badali ( talk) 21:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you so much for unblocking Atomaton, I'm sure he will be encouraged as a result not to drive-by revert to his preferred version of contentious articles. Oh, that was a bit sarcastic, wasn't it? Guy ( Help!) 08:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I have just put the article to peer review. Would you care to take a look? Aditya Kabir 20:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hornfans links are pointless because the threads "expire" in 2 weeks, so stuff gets deleted quick. I messaged the poster to upload it here, but he was too lazy to make an account and instead gave me permission to do so. "I dont have a wiki account. The link is from my photobucket... feel free to update the pic yourself. "
I replaced the older pic(s) because
Hence, in my opinion the older pic is very out of date.
And I thought I had fixed the appropriate captions, but I didnt. Sorry about that Corpx 02:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, i guess. I really want to make some consructive edits but I never revert vandalism fast enough, and all the things i know have already been put in the articles...editing is harder than it looks, also on another note,please try to relax, acting like a Bot will drive you crazy, All due respect --

You should know that I never edited Jimbo's page. Others did, and I support that, but I never did. Thank you for the review, however. -- Theunicyclegirl ( talk, review me!) 19:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The article looks great so far. I will try to help with it more once the season starts. By the way, it was smart of you to use a wikitable for the schedules instead of the
CFB template. That template is a bit complicated and takes up more coding space.
Also, I would like to be an administrator someday. I'd like to be a top-notch candidate, so do you have any suggestions? Obviously, one of them would be to focus more on
articles not related to A&M.--

Johntex, given your commentary on Wikipedia talk:Polling is not a substitute for discussion I thought you might like to join me in updating Wikipedia:Straw polls to be descriptive of current Wikipedia practices towards having an effective poll guideline. I've initiated talk about this. I encourage you to join in the re-development of this much needed guideline. Thanks. ( → Netscott) 13:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
My bad. I misinterpreted what you put there. Really big mistake on my part. Yeah, it should go in there. BQZip01 22:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I've put a note on the article's talk page about "Individual rape cases". -- VSerrata 15:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
You have a point. I removed the images. I wish we could get images to link to something other than the image page. If we could get them to link to another site, then I think I might be able to justify it. Any other comments on Zero U? BQZip01 16:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining how everything is made of elements. It really opened my mind to learn something new about such a fundamental part of, well, everything. It was rather big-headed of me to assume a conclusion about something I didn't fully understand. Thanks for putting me right! Think outside the box 20:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Johntex - It appears you've gone through my list of contributions, which I worked hard on, and reverted a large number of them. This behavior is clearly inappropriate. I can see no reason besides retribution for our disagreement on the Talk:2006 Duke University lacrosse team scandal page. If you have a legitimate problem, the appropriate way to resolve it would be to leave a message on my talk page. If you will undo your reversions as an act of good faith, I will be happy to discuss any reasonable objections you have. I'm always glad to find ways to improve my work, and Wikipedia.

Hi. In this edit to Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 8/Template:Linkimage, you wrote "I would like to ask JeffG for an explanation of how he chose whom to invite." I am replying here because the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 8/Template:Linkimage is now closed. I think I chose to invite Atom by adding to that user's user talk page because of that user's contributions to Template_talk:Linkimage, and I chose to invite many other users by adding to their user talk pages for the same reason (and for contributing to Template:Linkimage) - sorry, I don't remember exactly. I also chose to invite watchers of multiple relevant article talk pages (for articles which used Template:Linkimage at the time) by adding to those article talk pages. I did this all over a two-hour period from 22:10 on 8 March 2007 to 00:08 on 9 March 2007 (UTC), mostly in the first 1.5 hours. All of these invitations were in direct compliance with "Please consider adding {{ subst:tfdnotice|TemplateName}} — ~~~~ on relevant talk pages to inform editors of the deletion discussion" in the "Give due notice" instructional subsection of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#How to use this page. I am sorry if I chose too broad an interpretation of "relevant". — Jeff G. 22:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm perhaps over-sensitive on this point, but Everyking began his statement by calling me "dishonest and hypocritical." This dates back to some unpleasantness between the two of us some two years ago. I don't believe I've interacted with you before. Do you agree with that part of his statement as well? Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 23:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Johntex, you reviewed the Carbon Nanotube article back in January, and found some problems. I think I've fixed most of them. Would you like to take a look at it again?? Snailwalker | talk 01:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I know I'm probably nitpicking, but at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#Death_of_Gas_Guzzling_SUV.27s, you accidently said a family uses "$800 gallons of gasoline" when I think you meant to omit the dollar sign, Just for the benefit of all reading, it would be clearer if you omitted it. I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. Happy editing :). -- Ybbor Talk Survey! 01:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[13] - He's continuing to accuse me of working for someone in editing the article and questioning the veracity of my editing here. I consider these personal attacks. If you don't mind talking to him again, that is. Either way, thanks. -- Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 17:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
The user who's comments you put back has a history of assuming bad faith and personal attacks, see his talk page. "but it was because he might have omitted some salient fact like this in allegedly writing from scratch..." Everything in that section screams bad faith, unfounded assumption of corrupt activity. -- Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 17:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Good grief... Please have a word with Jfwamaugh... The whole commenting on the author thing is beginning to get out of hand... Indeed, the talk page is turning into a forum for just straight up trolling. I am trying to discuss article content there, but those two users have other intentions. -- Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 19:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I am sorry to keep bugging you about this stuff - usually I am in your position, warning and blocking and whatnot... I've never quite been in this heated a conflict, ever, so your help is appreciated. -- Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 22:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Bugging you again. (If you would like me to find another uninvolved admin, let me know). Andyvphil, who has a history of personal attacks and trolling, is at it again on the talk page. While the ingenuity with which the user is continuing to attack the author rather than (or while still) discussing the issue is somewhat entertaining, it is annoying, innapropriate and against policy.

I've nominated 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of 2005 Texas vs. Ohio State football game during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.
Sorry, I don't mean to knock your hard work, really. And I have seen you around and know you are a good editor, nothing personal here, so please, please don't take it that way. I just don't believe this topic is inherently notable. IvoShandor 10:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea if this is helpful at all or has been brought up yet, but I don't really want to read all the previous discussions about including Mangum's photo (and don't really want to get involved), so I thought I'd just provide you with the information so you can do with it what you wish. I don't know if people have attacked the reliability of the photo released by KC Johnson because it's a blog, but The News & Observer has just released the same photo [14] (albeit at a far worse resolution). They also released a photo of her during the lineup. The caption of the photo, however, only says "Mangum has avoided reporters" and gives no sense as to the date or source. The same article also gives more details about her life including alcohol abuse, etc. I'm leaving this same message on Duke53's page. - Bluedog423 Talk 16:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi John, I would like to be blocked from editing on Wikipedia to enforce a wikibreak. Finals are approaching soon and I have to start studying now. Blocking my account will eliminate my urge to log on to Wikipedia. I tried using the wikibreak enforcer, but I found it to be inefficient. I plan on coming back May 9th, the day finals are over, so please block my account until then. Appreciate it! BlueAg09 ( Talk) 07:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
