would you mind doing a copy edit of this article for me? I'm quite terrible at proof reading my own work. I also have Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, Batgirl (current FAC) and Batwoman, though I wouldn't ask you to go through the trouble of all editing all of them, unless you are simply bored or any other these articles peeks your personal interest. Thanks for your consideration. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 07:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind trying to copy edit this article once more? Its currently in peer review: Wikipedia:Peer review/Janet Jackson/archive1 and I'm trying to get it promoted to FA. Hence, the prose needs to be "brilliant". The article if fairly stable (i'm typically the only person who edits) so if you choose to do so, I'd recommend editing it directly with the {{PACEinuse}} tag in place. Thanks for you previous effort. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 04:39, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra. I thought you should know, since you're my adopter, that over the last couple of days I haven't been too happy around here. To be completely honest with you, I've been deeply disturbed due to several personal attacks that were made against me by a user that personally really hurt. I'm only human, I do have emotions and I feel things. I'm not some kind of heartless machine. It triggered all kinds of negative and painful things from my past. It's been difficult. As a survivor, I live with what happened to me each and every single day of my life. I don't need others to remind me of how I was raped violently as a young child. I don't deserve that. I need some time away to sort out my thoughts and feelings. I think it's best for me to take a small wikibreak. I will try to pop in here if I can. In the meantime I'm just going to spend my free time helping my girlfriend with some packing. I need to focus on happy thoughts rather than focus on past negative experiences. I'm sorry to bother you with all this. Thanks for all your help concerning Wikipedia. I couldn't of found a better adopter. Caden S ( talk) 11:58, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey thanks for the advice you gave on the review! It has been sitting on that page for so long that I had almost forgotten about it. And regarding that God of War article, let's just say it's a good reminder to myself that skimming paragraphs is not a good method of picking out mistakes. Thanks again! - Samuel Tan 02:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
We seem to have radically different numbers for the copyedit progress, unless something really big was done between yesterday and today. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran ( talk) 22:35, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Samuel, User:Falcon Kirtaran and I came up with two radically different numbers for the number of articles in CAT:COPY (listed on both the CAT:COPY page and WP:WikiProject Articles Needing Copy Edit). The method I used was to use the number of articles in CAT:COPY's subcategory Category:All articles needing copy edit. I'm not sure what method he used, but he says my method is correct. I wanted to make sure, though: was this the same method you used? I want to make sure we're all using the same method, so the statistics don't get wonky. - kotra ( talk) 05:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Concerning your question on my talk page, I merged Caponata into the Eggplant salads and appetizers page because since it is an eggplant appetizer, I decided it should be on the page, along with other eggplant dishes. I forgot to add the references if there were any (I don't remember if there were any references). I could find some references and add them myself, or I could put a 'needs references' template to the section. Please don't revert the merge back. Thanks, grade4 ( talk) 23:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
>>Here's a solution: we can have both a standalone Caponata article and a short description of caponata in Eggplant salads and appetizers, using a Main template like this. ... By the way, I also notice you have merged several other dishes into Eggplant salads and appetizers, when they are more properly their own articles. I can fix these as well.
Sure, you could do that. I'm a bit of a newbie at merging anyway. Thanks, grade4 ( talk) 00:45, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
On this page, Chili cookoff was under C. I merged it into Cook-off as requested, and I deleted the merge template on the Chili cookoff page. grade4 ( talk) 00:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra. The Jesse Dirkhising page is currently a good article nominee. Could you have a look at it and let me know what you think? In particular, could you let me know if you think there are still POV issues left? In the past this article was filled with too much POV and there were some heated discussions on that. Regardless, I trust your opinion and would appreciate your thoughts on this. Caden S ( talk) 22:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Could you do me the favor of having a look at Shanna Moakler's article? I've been editing quite a bit on that page. I've cleaned it up somewhat. I've added a few citations, used reliable sources, added a bit of info, corrected sentences for better flow, re-worked many one or two sentence paragraphs into existing content. I've fixed a few wikilinks or added others. I added to the prose a bit and checked and read nearly all of the sources that were provided by other editors. Anyways, if you have the time, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. Thanks. Caden S ( talk) 01:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I've determined from your comment and from Wikipedia policy, and I've decided to remove the line you are referring to. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention before it could've got worse. Take care. -- The One They Call GSK // talk to me // 04:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia discourages (or prohibits according to some) corporate names. GSK is name of a very large pharmaceutical company, formerly known as Glaxo Smithkline. I don't mind the name and will not do anything about it. Some administrators block it. That seems a bit harsh. 903M ( talk) 03:49, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your wise comments on 3RR. I seek politeness and scholarly improvement of Wikipedia. A Wikipedia that is sloppy is no good. Copyright rules is only one way to be sloppy. You also made some good points to clarify misconceptions of mine. I am certainly willing to admit mistakes and learn from them.
I see that you adopte editors. Would you adopt me? I ask you because of your wise comments. Sticky Parkin is also helping me. 903M ( talk) 03:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, I didn't remove Category:LGBT people from the United States from this article; that tag was added independently of my edits, and I simply reverted to my edit which came before the tag was added. Secondly, Perez Hilton is more and more considered an entertainment journalist more than a "gossip blog". Michael Musto of The Village Voice began his career as simply a gossip columnist as well, but he ultimately matured into someone who is relied upon for accurate information about the entertainment business. And thirdly, though I shouldn't have phrased it in past tense, my assertion that the upcoming People Magazine cover article exists is a fact, it isn't a prediction of the future. At any rate, numerous other sources are currently reporting on the article including this one and The Chicago Sun Times, so perhaps someone like yourself will put the information back in the article. Having had my posting and editing abilities threatened for breaking the 3 edit rule (no one else involved in that editing situation received a warning), I'm not touching the article again.

When one is doing and presenting historical research and data for the sake of teaching quoting is lawful and very acceptable. It does not infringe on copyright. Kazuba ( talk) 18:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey kotra. I do this sometimes: post somewhere and forget that I posted. I just went back and read the ANI thread I posted to yesterday. In this case, I should apologize, and I'm trying to decide it it's worth it to explain. In the ANI thread about Ave Cesar and CadenS, I posted "I expect editors to be responsible for their actions, and not require a mentor talk them out of disproportionately defensive posts." That was a muckup. I re-edited part of the sentence, and then posted it to come out as something else. It was not my original thought, and I apologize that I made it seem as if you were responsible for Caden and had shirked your duty. As for the correction of it, I don't know if it's entirely worth it for me to explain what I meant. -- Moni3 ( talk) 20:56, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra. I'm not happy with Benjiboi's description of me on his recent AN/I report. I do not know what Benji's problem is but he makes me sick to my stomach. He preaches about not using pejorative words yet he turns around and uses pejorative terms to describe me in a negative light on his AN/I report. He did that on purpose, I believe. Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he describe me as "they", "their", or "them", as if I'm some kind of "thing" rather than a male human being. I am not some kind of thing! I have a name as well as a gender. He fully well knows that. I've never been so insulted or so offended by a fellow editor before. His choice of words used to describe me are shocking and abusive as far as I'm concerned. I will not tolerate that from him. I resent him referring to me as "they", "their", or "them". How would Benji like it if I began to refer to him as "it", huh? Do you think he would like that? I highly doubt so. He has yet to apologize to me for his offensive choice of words. He had no right to use such hateful and degrading terms to describe me. I want him to edit these words out of the report. If he doesn't do that, then I will be forced to remove the offensive words myself. It's already bad enough that he's attacked my good faith edits as "vandalism." But, I will not stand to be referred as a "their", "them", or "they". I'm sorry about all this but I'm really offended and see his actions as personal attacks against me. Caden S ( talk) 09:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) No problem, thanks for understanding. I'm still happy to be your adopter. I don't mind advocating for you, but I won't be able to protect you from a block or other restrictions if the community decides it's necessary. I don't think it will be a block this time, though. And I agree, it is a bit frustrating to not know what the deal is. Sometimes AN/I discussions go slow, sometimes they go fast. I think this one has slowed down, but hopefully an administrator will come along with some options soon. If there's a solution where you can keep editing sexuality-related articles peacefully, I'm all for that. I guess we just have to wait. Try not to let it stress you out in the meantime, maybe do something fun instead. - kotra ( talk) 18:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I can't believe it but my wiki stalker is back at it sticking his nose where it don't belong, over at the AN/I report. After he was warned by you, Booker, Jay and others to stop. He even agreed and promised me that he would stop. And now he's back at it with more threats. I'm fed up with him harassing me. I'm sick of him stalking me and watching my every move on Wikipedia. Can't you please make him stop? I'm already stressed out with Benji's personal attacks. It's bad enough that Benji is referring to me as "they", "them", or "their". I'm at the end of my rope here and I need your help. Caden S ( talk) 16:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra. I'm not sure what's going on with the ANI report, but something about it does not look right to me. At this particular moment I am not thrilled with Moni. I'm very disappointed to see what she has done. I feel she shifted the spotlight from the original content dispute (of which the report is supposed to be about) to my behavior. It makes no sense. By her having done so, I feel she's misleading other editors into assuming the report was filed only against myself and that it is based on my behavior. This is not true. The report was made against both I and Ave Caesar and was based on a content dispute and nothing more. But now, I'm singled out as the bad guy. That's what I see happening. What are your thoughts on this? I believe that if she wanted to discuss a behavior issue, she could've contacted both you or I on our talk pages. I'm no longer watching the ANI page due to these reasons. I'd appreciate it if you could watch that page and contact me if need be. I have no answers to my questions and I'm not sure if you can answer them for me. Caden S ( talk) 11:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
In re: Geber, I actually "dearchived" first so that the archiving program can label the individual discussion properly and won't overwrite the existing archived material. It will auto-archive sometime this evening, and the page will be properly archived.

Kotra, do not remove my statements about Jeff Golblum as "vandalism", since it is not vandalism, and the controversy surrouding Jeff Goldblum watching people "poop" is a real issue that people often wonder about. You are removing information that is not false - STOP IT.—Preceding unsigned comment added by NotGrandma ( talk • contribs) 23:50, 14 October 2008
I understand that "jeff goldbum is watching you poop" is hysterically funny, but there is a real belief behind it too. It is believed by many to be fact, and has not been disprove. It is as accurate as the statement made saying that Jeff is with a girl because of tabloid photos.—Preceding unsigned comment added by NotGrandma ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 14 October 2008
Ok, thank you for the information, I did not know about the criteria for controversial statements. I also did not know about how the talk worked. I will investigate for sources further. Does Urban Dictionary count, since it is public and has approval from other users? Thanks again for the tip. NotGrandma ( talk) 01:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't really remember writing that and reading it now I can't really understand why I would have been so fired up. I suspected for a moment that someone may have added to my statement. But I really did write it. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out anyways.-- Matt D ( talk) 08:39, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, it’s time for another edition of the fabled COTW. Thank you to all who helped make improvements to Wayne Morse and creating some members of the Oregon House. This week, we have by request Upper Klamath Lake which think made the news lately with a salmon plan. Then, in honor of the end of the harvest time, we will go farming with Fort Stevens. There is a beautiful link farm in the article that is ripe for harvesting into citations. It should provide for a bountiful feast, or alternatively you can take your hoe to it and weed some out. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. WARNING: COTW is not approved for children under 3 and may contain choking hazards for small children. DO NOT leave your child unattended with COTW. Aboutmovies ( talk) 08:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for posting the notification on User:Rosemary.owens.22's talk - I managed to misread the instructions pretty badly. On the plus side, I've notified a possibly related editor of a similar problem, so hopefully I have at least the first part of the process down now. :) Thanks again, Bilby ( talk) 01:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Heh, alright.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 20:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra, I apologize for not having contacted you sooner. I had a car accident on November the 17th that left me with bruises, a few minor cuts and needing emergency eye surgery to my left eye. I'm okay though and my eye is healing well. I was still able to attend classes and have just finished with exams. Unfortunately, I can't play soccer for a couple of months and I'm without a car temporarily. I'm pretty much bummed out over these two things. The good (miracle?) thing is my girlfriend was not injured in the crash and walked away without a scratch. But thank you for asking, I appreciate that. By the way, I'm still a Wikipedian. I'll be on when I can. Caden S ( talk) 20:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

I have no answers to my questions and I'm not sure if you can answer them for me. Caden S ( talk) 11:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
In re: Geber, I actually "dearchived" first so that the archiving program can label the individual discussion properly and won't overwrite the existing archived material. It will auto-archive sometime this evening, and the page will be properly archived.
My apologies for any apparent confusion. ناهد/(Nåhed) speak! 01:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Kotra, do not remove my statements about Jeff Golblum as "vandalism", since it is not vandalism, and the controversy surrouding Jeff Goldblum watching people "poop" is a real issue that people often wonder about. You are removing information that is not false - STOP IT.—Preceding unsigned comment added by NotGrandma ( talk • contribs) 23:50, 14 October 2008
I understand that "jeff goldbum is watching you poop" is hysterically funny, but there is a real belief behind it too. It is believed by many to be fact, and has not been disprove. It is as accurate as the statement made saying that Jeff is with a girl because of tabloid photos.—Preceding unsigned comment added by NotGrandma ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 14 October 2008
Ok, thank you for the information, I did not know about the criteria for controversial statements. I also did not know about how the talk worked. I will investigate for sources further. Does Urban Dictionary count, since it is public and has approval from other users? Thanks again for the tip. NotGrandma ( talk) 01:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't really remember writing that and reading it now I can't really understand why I would have been so fired up. I suspected for a moment that someone may have added to my statement. But I really did write it. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out anyways.-- Matt D ( talk) 08:39, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, it’s time for another edition of the fabled COTW. Thank you to all who helped make improvements to Wayne Morse and creating some members of the Oregon House. This week, we have by request Upper Klamath Lake which think made the news lately with a salmon plan. Then, in honor of the end of the harvest time, we will go farming with Fort Stevens. There is a beautiful link farm in the article that is ripe for harvesting into citations. It should provide for a bountiful feast, or alternatively you can take your hoe to it and weed some out. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. WARNING: COTW is not approved for children under 3 and may contain choking hazards for small children. DO NOT leave your child unattended with COTW. Aboutmovies ( talk) 08:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for posting the notification on User:Rosemary.owens.22's talk - I managed to misread the instructions pretty badly. On the plus side, I've notified a possibly related editor of a similar problem, so hopefully I have at least the first part of the process down now. :) Thanks again, Bilby ( talk) 01:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Heh, alright.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 20:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kotra, I apologize for not having contacted you sooner. I had a car accident on November the 17th that left me with bruises, a few minor cuts and needing emergency eye surgery to my left eye. I'm okay though and my eye is healing well. I was still able to attend classes and have just finished with exams. Unfortunately, I can't play soccer for a couple of months and I'm without a car temporarily. I'm pretty much bummed out over these two things. The good (miracle?) thing is my girlfriend was not injured in the crash and walked away without a scratch. But thank you for asking, I appreciate that. By the way, I'm still a Wikipedian. I'll be on when I can. Caden S ( talk) 20:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! — Aitias // discussion 18:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
