Hi Jreferee. After six weeks, the user is back again, replacing vast swaths of content with material sourced to himself and containing multiple errors of grammar, punctuation, style, etc. I have no wish to insert myself into the situation again and be accused of god knows what, and I actually have no firm opinion on the proprieties in this case (I've seen no CV links this time), although another user—and a perceptive one at that—has questioned it. I do think there may be some moderate WP:COMPETENCE issues. In any event, I'm planning to stay well out of it this time, but since you did some helpful intervention at COIN and on the user's talk page last month, I wanted you to be aware.

Hi, Jreferee! At the discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al (Allen) Schwartz, you made an excellent suggestion about how the article titles for people named Al Schwartz should be redone. That discussion has now been closed. Would you be willing to implement your title change suggestions at this point? I would do it, but I think some of the changes will require admin tools and I'm not an admin. Thanks. -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:12, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jreferee, I greatly appreciate the suggestion about reworking the references. Per your earlier advice, I have looked through Template:Citation and have deleted many of the references and have reworked the significant references that I thought established notability per WP:REFBEGIN. I felt that the article about Mr Bhargav Sri Prakash by Bloomberg News established his notability the most and have therefore added it as the first reference. Does the ordering of the references make a difference? I am asking because many things about about him have been reported on multiple independent online sources on US and Indian media but I am not sure if the order of the references should follow a prescribed standard of priority. For example, his first company has been reported by Bloomberg News and by Kauffman Foundation and both to me are reputable sources. Would you please take another look and let me know how I am doing with the article: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bhargav_Sri_Prakash Thank you again for your patient feedback/advice as I am still learning my way around editing articles!

Hi Jreferee. My name is Arturo and I work for BP. I am the company's official representative here on Wikipedia and I am looking for help with a BP-related article that I thought you might be interested in. Perhaps you've seen my message on the Wikiproject Biography talk page? If you haven't seen the request, I'm looking for someone who can help make a few updates to the Geoff Morrell (spokesperson) article. I saw your name on the list of members of the Wikiproject and based on your comment there about having a soft spot for people who edit their own biographies I thought you would be a good editor to ask.
I would like to be clear, I have never directly edited any Wikipedia articles and, to my knowledge, Geoff has never edited his own article. I only work on Wikipedia via talk pages. Still, I'm assuming you're well versed in the mistakes people make when they edit their own articles and I thought your review of my request would be valuable. The main request is on the article's talk page. I hope you'll have a moment to look at it. Thanks. Arturo at BP ( talk) 15:47, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jreferee. I see what you've written at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Rough consensus. I haven't completely digested it, but you seem to have a good proposal for action.

[7] null edit: if you were thinking of doing something that could be considered edit warring, please don't. It will only lead to tears
[8] null edit: I won't shed any tears over a block. Tears should be shed, however, over the fact that Wikipedia is permanently broken due to the miserable failure of editors such as yourself to remove partisan garbage from articles
I trust this shows an interesting use of null edits for purposes which I think might be deemed improper. Collect ( talk) 14:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jreferee, Thanks for your comments. May be I made a mistake, claiming that it is my work. I was practicing in sandbox to write an article on Khuda Buksh. In order to insert pictures I had uploaded several pictures including group pictures of Khuda Buksh in the Wikipedia commons. The pictures are from a book that is copyrighted by Khuda Buksh Memorial Trust and Foundation (KBMT&F). I am one of the members of the KBMT&F. I have permission from KBMT&F to use the pictures. Now please suggest how do I correct this.

You're more than welcome! Happy New Year! You've done so much terrific work here and contributed so much to articles and discussions that you really deserve a lot more praise than you seem to get. You mean the "site problems" section of my user page? Yeah, they're things I've picked up along the way and observed, I'm sure a lot of people reading it would agree that wikipedia would be a lot better off without them!! Happy editing!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your edit to Benghazi burner, however a quick Google search seems to show that "Thermette" was the brand name of a device also called a Kelly kettle - your own link describes it. These were issued to New Zealand troops in the Desert Campaign and acquired various "Benghazi" nicknames, but it's quite different to the improvised petrol burner. I have included a link to the "Kelly kettle" article in the "See also" section. I hope that you agree with my conclusions. Alansplodge ( talk) 12:45, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

You semi-protected this. It seems to me that there is only a single IP editor making changes, and that editor has attempted to provide a source, albiet not in sufficient detail. I also don't see an entry in the RFPP archives where protection was requested. I think this may be overkill at the moment. I admit that the IP editors has not yet engaged on the talk page. If you feel that protection is required, would a talk page post explaining what has been done be a good idea? DES (talk) 15:24, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jreferee, Thank you for your review. Most of the information in the previous article was drawn out from the sources that I mentioned & perhaps a few other sources which I have now listed in the DRV. The only part of the redirected article that may not be well sourced is the "Administration" part which I can remove if it is a concern. Azakeri ( talk) 16:40, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Fuzzy thing on your talk page | |
Just wanted to say that it's nice seeing you around. :) While we never really worked together much, obviously, your nominating me for adminship had a huge impact on my wiki work...which has kind of turned into a huge part of my life. So thank you for the early showing of trust, and thank you for continued contributions, especially at the help desk. When you went quiet in 2007, I was afraid we had lost you, and I'm really glad that has not been the case. Here's a fuzzy guy for your talk page, because I like fuzzy guys (rabbits are a particular favorite), in honor of your name popping up on my watchlist more and more regularly. :D Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC) |

Hi Jreferee, I saw your post on the help desk re Template:HD. Was curious--how do you and how would others typically implement these templates? That is, do you guys access the Template overview and copy/paste the one you want, or are you using some sort of utility a la Twinkle to select the appropriate template? I use Twinkle, but it doesn't do everything, and I'm trying to make my life a little easier. Thanks! (I'll watch your talk page in case you want to reply here).

Hi there, I see the info you added to Ballentine about William Pride was reverted. I came across Ballentine yesterday, and only noticed it because the town's name was wrong.

Last year, I posted a blog entry about the MaraDNS deletion discussion (the discussion closed with a unanimous “keep” consensus; I don’t blame you for not spending three hours looking for references establishing notability) from April of 2013. Now that I am (for who knows how long) an active editor again, I would like to point you to the article:
Do you feel this off-wiki blog entry fairly represents the nomination you made last year to delete the MaraDNS article?

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for pointing out that the entry needed more than primary sources. A couple of these have been provided. Does this satisfy the criteria? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GMB3 ( talk • contribs) 05:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
[7] null edit: if you were thinking of doing something that could be considered edit warring, please don't. It will only lead to tears
[8] null edit: I won't shed any tears over a block. Tears should be shed, however, over the fact that Wikipedia is permanently broken due to the miserable failure of editors such as yourself to remove partisan garbage from articles
I trust this shows an interesting use of null edits for purposes which I think might be deemed improper. Collect ( talk) 14:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jreferee, Thanks for your comments. May be I made a mistake, claiming that it is my work. I was practicing in sandbox to write an article on Khuda Buksh. In order to insert pictures I had uploaded several pictures including group pictures of Khuda Buksh in the Wikipedia commons. The pictures are from a book that is copyrighted by Khuda Buksh Memorial Trust and Foundation (KBMT&F). I am one of the members of the KBMT&F. I have permission from KBMT&F to use the pictures. Now please suggest how do I correct this.

The KBMT&F has no objection donating all the pictures to Wikipedia. Morahim ( talk) 05:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your awesome (I assume) private note on my Talk page. I really appreciate your offer to lend a hand. I'll think about it as soon as I get the new semester up and running. I have a course on the history of New Testament Criticism that I was targeting for this. You guys who edit are really kind. Thanks for being so generous.

You're more than welcome! Happy New Year! You've done so much terrific work here and contributed so much to articles and discussions that you really deserve a lot more praise than you seem to get. You mean the "site problems" section of my user page? Yeah, they're things I've picked up along the way and observed, I'm sure a lot of people reading it would agree that wikipedia would be a lot better off without them!! Happy editing!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your edit to Benghazi burner, however a quick Google search seems to show that "Thermette" was the brand name of a device also called a Kelly kettle - your own link describes it. These were issued to New Zealand troops in the Desert Campaign and acquired various "Benghazi" nicknames, but it's quite different to the improvised petrol burner. I have included a link to the "Kelly kettle" article in the "See also" section. I hope that you agree with my conclusions. Alansplodge ( talk) 12:45, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

You semi-protected this. It seems to me that there is only a single IP editor making changes, and that editor has attempted to provide a source, albiet not in sufficient detail. I also don't see an entry in the RFPP archives where protection was requested. I think this may be overkill at the moment. I admit that the IP editors has not yet engaged on the talk page. If you feel that protection is required, would a talk page post explaining what has been done be a good idea? DES (talk) 15:24, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
On 13 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Legal education in Alaska, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that, since 1998, Alaska has been the only state in the United States without a law school? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Legal education in Alaska. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Jreferee, Thank you for your review. Most of the information in the previous article was drawn out from the sources that I mentioned & perhaps a few other sources which I have now listed in the DRV. The only part of the redirected article that may not be well sourced is the "Administration" part which I can remove if it is a concern. Azakeri ( talk) 16:40, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. I've waited for a couple of weeks or so but there hasn't been a response from the other editors on the suggested changes. There are only 5 to be reviewed and implemented which won't take long. Many thanks Vivj2012 ( talk) 10:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Fuzzy thing on your talk page | |
Just wanted to say that it's nice seeing you around. :) While we never really worked together much, obviously, your nominating me for adminship had a huge impact on my wiki work...which has kind of turned into a huge part of my life. So thank you for the early showing of trust, and thank you for continued contributions, especially at the help desk. When you went quiet in 2007, I was afraid we had lost you, and I'm really glad that has not been the case. Here's a fuzzy guy for your talk page, because I like fuzzy guys (rabbits are a particular favorite), in honor of your name popping up on my watchlist more and more regularly. :D Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC) |
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.
I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
This even applies for infoboxes.
Thanks and my best wishes.

Hi Jreferee, this message is to tell you that I've requested an update about this copy-edit from Skeletonl234 on his/her talk page because s/he hasn't been active there since 22nd January 2014. In fact, there's been no activity at all from that account since then. If there's been no activity in seven days I'll strike his/her acceptance so that someone else can copy-edit the article. I'm sorry for the delay to the copy-editing. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 07:36, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jreferee, I saw your post on the help desk re Template:HD. Was curious--how do you and how would others typically implement these templates? That is, do you guys access the Template overview and copy/paste the one you want, or are you using some sort of utility a la Twinkle to select the appropriate template? I use Twinkle, but it doesn't do everything, and I'm trying to make my life a little easier. Thanks! (I'll watch your talk page in case you want to reply here).

Hi there, I see the info you added to Ballentine about William Pride was reverted. I came across Ballentine yesterday, and only noticed it because the town's name was wrong. I tried to find something to add to the article but found nothing. Your addition seemed to relate to the town in a sort-of "local boy makes good" way. It's noteworthy info. I hate to see it wasted.

Last year, I posted a blog entry about the MaraDNS deletion discussion (the discussion closed with a unanimous “keep” consensus; I don’t blame you for not spending three hours looking for references establishing notability) from April of 2013. Now that I am (for who knows how long) an active editor again, I would like to point you to the article:
Do you feel this off-wiki blog entry fairly represents the nomination you made last year to delete the MaraDNS article?
Thank you for your time.
