Hey, Jayron, I'm a bit perplexed about your recent block of 70.168.196.48. It seems to me that this revert is a self-revert and thus shouldn't count toward the rule. Maybe I'm missing something, and you could explain it to me. Cheers, Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

He's not guilty of breaking the 3rr rule... but (as I said on the intervention page) he is guilty of consitently ignoring warnings and general vandalism... removing valid tags fromt he article without discussing it. In my opinion, a short block is waranted for those reasons.-- Dr who1975 ( talk) 05:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Jayron. I don't think you saw the message all the way above. So here it is again: New England Patriots is about to have its FA status removed.

I have had to remove several reports at WP:AIV which do not comply with the guidelines. Please take some time to read the boilerplate at the top of WP:AIV as well as Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. Please note that you must demonstrate that you have exhausted all other attempts at getting a user to stop problematic edits BEFORE they will be blocked. Try leaving a friendly, handwritten note on their talk page explaining what they are doing wrong. If that doesn't work, leave a sterner warning. Users that have not been warned multiple times, and given ample opportunity to correct their own behavior are not likely to be blocked. Blocking is the last resort, not the first, when dealing with problematic editors. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 02:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'm grateful to you for unblocking me and have a couple of requests. You wrote on the box that unblocks me on my page that you don't believe me when I say I haven't edited Wikipedia before. I'm assuming this means you're saying I'm lying, but what you've written isn't true, I already said that I have edited Wikipedia before, just read the bit above the box. Could you change what you've written so that it's not accusing me of lying by saying I haven't edited Wikipedia. Sure, accuse me of lying, I don't mind that but just don't accuse me of lying by saying something that isn't true about me when you can see it's not true by reading what I wrote. The bit where I said that I have edited Wikipedia is just above what you've written if you need to see it. I'm not accusing you of anything so please don't ban me, I'm just asking that what you wrote about me in the box is true. The other request is about the comment I wanted to leave on Jimbo's talk page. I got banned because I left the comment. Is there somewhere I can get my comment approved so I can leave it or someone that can give me permission to leave the comment or tell me how to change it so I won't get banned.

I've recently added alot to the article and am looking for some feedback from an experienced user. The history sections I marked for expansion will be fixed later this week. I e-mailed the Wake County Historical Society and asked for some help with those sections. I can't seem to find a web source for information dealing with the 19th and 20th centuries.

Thank you for assuming good faith (clearly, unlike certain others) in removing the block. Given that this action was taken before the block expired and appears to be in entire agreement with the reasons for my request, I have reconsidered. I am postponing the action I initially intended on taking immediately against the admin who enforced the unreasonably unnecessary block. Hopefully, this action will not be necessary at all in the future. However, if the admin continues to make similarly poor decisions, or continues to assume bad-faith (as above) and the like, then I will not hesitate to proceed as I had planned earlier to review his adminship, and this incident will be used as evidence. Due to the circumstances surrounding this case, I think this is quite a reasonable step. Still, I would like to thank you for your time, patience and understanding in fulfilling my request. Ncmvocalist ( talk) 02:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I was observing what is occurring re: this. I know you're an administrator and know the policies quite well, but I still wanted to say that I was the person who first noticed the use of Slim Virgin's page when I went to the the user's page to leave a message and found it to be quite confusing. WP:Harass says "Harassment is defined as a pattern of offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to have the purpose of adversely affecting a targeted person or persons" which is what it initially did until I sorted out what had happened. I couldn't understand why an administrator would purposely insert a fragment like "is also a prominent substance abuser" into the lead sentence of an article. WP:Harass also says "There is no way to spell out all the behaviors that can be considered harassment from the early incubation of a pattern to an unmistakable offense" and since Slim Virgin approached this user first and removed her page material, and when it was removed again by Crum375, the edit summary specifically said "This is a form of harassment -- please stop." AFP was aware it was objectionable, thus negating any argument that he/she has violated no policy. I admit that my own experience with this user wasn't the best, it also tended to lean toward the disregard of requests and perhaps purposefully evasion of actual issues. Thanks.

After 2 weeks on Wave Power, it is fairly clear that page is very important to Alternative Energy and it needs to be re-written to bring it up to speed and exceed the Discovery Channel. No joke, I just added 2 patents to the main article, tracked the assignee, and saw their work on a Discovery clip. Fabulous stuff. Given that I am conflicted with www.gewp.org , what can we (mouse in my pocket) / I do to help re-write the article and push it up in importance in the appropriate portals? Not only am I conflicted with gewp, but I am running Google Adwords on the keywords "alternative energy" and "wave power", world-wide. That's half my income, so you might be able to see that I am very serious about doing anything I can to head off (buzz words deleted) over energy. Nukeh ( talk) 20:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I am financially conflicted in the opposite manner as normally encountered: My work for gewp.org is pro bono and gewp.org itself places all new technology into the public domain, creating a patent bar immediately upon publication. My payment for AdWords is a charitable contribution to gewp, and gewp is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in formation. I do this as an experienced inventor in biotechnology, having ~600 uspto.gov patent references. One of my patents was litigated through three levels of court up to the CA Supreme Court in 2006, and the award was a record: $34.5M. I also figure the US government has ~ $50M in me via grants and training over a 30 year period. Given the status of energy in our world, and some of the obvious consequences for the future (war, stagflation, greenhouse, nuclear proliferation, etc.), I feel that I have no choice but to act in a charitable manner as an inventor. My affiliations are exclusively to www.gewp.org, and other charitable organizations, having retired from all other work years ago. I have no financial interest in anything except blinded CA State bonds which are the current source of my charitable giving. Nukeh ( talk) 02:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
If the wave power article is not as current as a Discovery program, and someone has blanketed the article with wave gizmos that consist of 404's and "contact the company for more information", why would you question my philanthropic motives? Every day, I am bidding directly against Chevron and others to increase traffic on keywords such as "alternative energy".
We are all in trouble: The fact of the matter is that it is now feasible to convert either to solar or wave power for a Hydrogen economy. The references are on www.gewp.org. These references need to be on WP, because WP is seen as more authoritative than gewp.
Here is another problem: It appears that there is no legitimate purpose for new nuclear plants if solar and/or wave is adequate. If that becomes both USA domestic and foreign policy, then we are in a strong position to deter nuclear proliferation via reactors constructed on the premise of energy supply. However, to say that solar and / or wave power is adequately sufficient to power all of mankind at 100 terawatts is also to say that the oil industry is condemned.
Please direct me to the appropriate WP rules for a sole inventor, sole source, philanthropist who wishes to contribute to articles. Nukeh ( talk) 05:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Jayron32, I hope you'll reconsider what you wrote here: "Actually, having looked over the whole of the changes to the article, it is you who proprose the major changes while several other editors seem to independently ALL disagree with your changes, and wish to maintain the article's status quo."
The major edit which was being battled over was the insertion into the first sentence of the judgment that CAMERA is pro-Israel (as opposed to "is cited as pro-Israel," which appears in a later sentence and is obviously accurate.) For almost the entire history of this article, there was no such assertion in the first sentence. It was added quite recently, and I was trying to revert to the previous status quo -- while discussing on the discussion page. The other editors would revert this change immediately, and often wouldn't engage in real discussion that addresses specifics questions I raised in the discussion section. Now, it may be true that 3 or 4 editors -- whose biases I won't bother to discuss -- disagreed with me. But that doesn't seem to be a reason to block me, remove the 'neutrality disputed' tag (not you, but the other administrator), and allow the others free reign to make their one-sided edits. (I should note also that there was someone else who backed my view, but he, too was ignored. Even Nagle, who doesn't tend to agree with me on this article, was ignored when he proposed compromise language. Now a new person [canadamonkey or something like that] is proposing compromise language, and is being ignored. So what can be done?) Thanks for your comments. Gni ( talk) 03:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, so I guess the Wake County Historical Society never checks their e-mail or else given their organization name, they're stuck somewhere in history and still use the Pony Express. ;-) They never responded about my inquiry for historical information that I mentioned to you a few weeks ago. I'm going to head over to the Georgetown library or some other library this week and ask about that book exchange program you mentioned. I decided to work on the Raleigh history section until then.

Thanks for you understanding.

Please forgive me for all this; I am nearly in tears with stress. Let me explain myself in point form; that might make it more intelligible:
Please understand that I didn't mean to harass AgnosticPreachersKid; I've been through this before, and have tried to learn from my past experiences. I just wanted to explain myself, so I didn't look like I had no basis for my original comments.

So, the best thing that came to your mind for Race and intelligence is this? You call it an edit war when a couple of racist editors are trying to add pseudoscientific commentary into the article and truly neutral editors are trying to stop them? Does that mean you support the racists, because protecting an article this bad seems to confuse me greatly? Or does it mean you spent 2 nanoseconds reviewing the commentary of the anti-semitic editors--maybe if you did, could you not have used those impressive admin powers to do some good such as blocking the racists? Thanks a lot for your wonderful assistance to the project. Sigh. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 00:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the apology. And let me apologize for implying that you were a racist. Please please please understand that I am extremely sensitive to anti-Semitism that is prevalent in two or three of the editors to Race and intelligence. Many of my family members are no longer enjoying the laughs of the grand children and great grandchildren because of the Holocaust, because someone didn't stand up to Hitler when he was just a ranting fool. I want everyone to do as I would do, push them down and crush them before their foolish rants kill people. Finally, I like your style. The article is not just a piece of shit, it is a stinking pile of rotting shit. And a couple of the editors there need to have their asses handed to them.

I removed the graphic on your wiki page because it violates Wikipedia rules of profanity.
"Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers should be used if they are informative, relevant and accurate, and should be avoided when they serve no other purpose than to shock the reader. Including information about offensive material is part of Wikipedia's encyclopedic mission; being offensive is not." [8] RipWinkleVan | Talk
Jayron, although I agree that the image can stay on your userpage (I reverted ripwinklevan the first time he removed it), I don't think an edit summary like your most recent is at all helpful. It is rather unbecoming of an admin, IMHO, for two reasons. One, it isn't your userpage, it's Wikipedia's, and 2. It is way too tasty. WP:RBI, man. RbI. .02. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
For all of you to to be admins you are sure not acting like admins. I gave reasons for me removing the graphic above and all I get is your personal opinions why it should stay. Not one of you ADMINS referenced the Wiki rules that I provided and took the rules into consideration. You all sound like a bunch of kids bickering. Per the Wiki rules my first attempt to change something should be done through the editor. This is seeming pointless at this time. I will advance this to the next stage since you ADMINS will not have an intelligent conversation about this. -- RipWinkleVan | Talk 21:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I haven't seen the content of the emails you were sent though, so your perspective on that would be appreciated. He represents them as reporting you to AN/I, or some such similar place where he'd just be laughed off, which is not a legal threat. If he's misrepresenting them, please let me know.

Hello user Jayron Wiki Admin. i would like to know if you could give me support for couple of articles i am researching and working on. i am a student at University if Toronto (Scarborough Campus) and am currently studying at the Department of Philosophy & Religion. My intrest is Hinduism and Sacred Books. At this moment i have learned that in the holy books of Hinduism contains quotes about the following people
the list goes on.
Currently my team (U of T) is working on an article called ( Mahamada) which contains information from an Hindu prespective and mentions about Muhammad in several books. Some users perhaps racist users are not allowing us to contribute to this article and are redirecting the article to another holy book that describes Muhammad. This is not fair for the other holy books containing information about Muhammad. We are working on Mahammad article because we have enough information to claim Jesus and the second target was Mahamad. could you watch out for the article. We are not yet going to revert the edits by them until we post actual photos of these holy books and the texts. -- Vedesh10 ( talk) 09:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Jayron, I got your name of of the list of sysops and I was wondering if you could check something out for me. This user is adding 'Christian Rock' to Family Force 5 genre(s) and is using heavily-biased, first-party sources to back up this claim. Also, in these sources the band does not refer to themselves as 'Christian Rock' they merely talk about being Christians. I have informed the said user of policy and they continue to revert my edits when I try and fix the problem. He/She says policy does not apply here and I need to use common sense. If I am wrong and policy infact does not apply here I will gladly step down, and drop the issue. If you have the time to check this out I would greatly appreciate it, and if not I understand. Thanks and have a great day. Landon1980 ( talk) 17:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for your time and opinion. I'm not trying to cause problems here. My only issue is how he is sourcing his claim. He is using first-party, heavily-biased sources to do this. Within the sources the don't even contain the words 'Christian Rock' He is using the statement "We don't care if ppl label us a Christian Band or not" to back up his claim. I just feel that if this claim were true they would say "We don't care if ppl label us a Christian Band, because we are a christian Band." Or at least something to that effect. I have frequented wikipedia for years now, this is my first account, and first time doing much editing but I am familiar with policy. I have never seen primary sources, and heavily-biased sources be used for things like this, let alone ones that you are expected to draw a conclusion by reading, and use common sense. I would think if they are going to be these kind of sources they should at least be explicit. If this claim is true he should be able to properly source it, or at least use a proper primary source. I'm not going to continue to clutter up your page with this. Just answer one question for me and I'll leave you alone. Why does policy not apply in this situation so I know in the future. On the said article ppl have tried to do what he did for months, now all of the sudden he comes along adds that genre and it sticks. I follow policy and all my edits are reverted. All I want him to do is properly source his claim, if he cannot do this it isn't my problem. Landon1980 ( talk) 01:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Because it is up to the user adding the content to find and add the references for it. He and I have reached an agreement anyways. I thought Christian sites were biased, if you just ggogle Family Force 5, instead of "Family Force 5 Christian review" nothing regarding Christianity pops up. I'm not going to mess with the article any more. I'll leave that up to someone else. I just thought if you want to put in an article someone eats tomatoes, the best place to verify this isn't a site that promotes eating tomatoes. I'm sure you know what I mean. Actual reliable un-biased sources for the most part call them alternative rock, or crunk Rock. The Christian sites are the only that do otherwise. Some good sources call them a Christian crossover Crunk Rock band, but certainly not 'Christian Rock'. You don't have to worry about this, I'm not going to mess with the article.

I have asked a couple of times to get Soccermeko's most common targets semiprotected (you apparently slept in this morning, and missed a couple of sock attacks). The best I was able to persuade the regulars at WP:RFPP to give me was a 72-hour semi on Nicole Wray. I think we both know that Soccermeko is far more determined than that. What I would like is a few weeks of semi-protection on Nicole Wray, as well as semi-protection on the articles listed in this AFD. User:Hello Control nominated a whole series of articles that Soccermeko created in January. These articles were hit during today's editing (which is I think how Hello Control noticed them), and you know that when Soccermeko notices it, life will not be good.

Hey man. If you could, please be very careful when summarizing editors' actions when posting to ANI (and elsewhere). In this edit you state that "The main crux of the problem was some low-grade edit warring between Jsn9333 and User:Blaxthos." Although it's not a big deal (and I don't want to make it one), I must take exception to your characterization of the incident. It most certainly was not "low grade edit warring"; it was a pretty involved case of a disruptive SPA constantly attacking and berating anyone whom didn't agree with him (including two administrators and multiple editors). Taking him at his word, and then summarizing it as fact in WP:ANI does a disservice to both the ANI action implemented by R.Baley and my reputation. I hope this message isn't offensive (it's not intended to be incendiary or chiding), but I would ask that you carefully consider these sorts of issues in the future. Thanks for your help, and have a good weekend! / Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Nikki 311 22:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jayron32, I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from, but what has happened this time is that user:Blaxthos launched a fresh accusation on the ANI. He has accused me of being a socket puppet of some user he exchanged barbs with apparently a long time ago or something. There is no evidence presented at all, just the fact that both myself and this other user have traded barbs with Blaxthos. Seriously. That's it. You can see for yourself. No network matching, grammar comparison, time-edit matching... *nothing*!
Of course I had to respond to this... I'm not a socketpuppet nor do I have a socketpuppet... and I can't just sit and let myself be permanently blocked. So I responded, pointing out that there are many, many editors who have traded barbs with Blaxthos. I did not want to respond, but what am I supposed to do? I know I'm not a socket puppet. And therefore I know there is absolutely zero evidence that I am.
Now, of course, user:R. Baley has jumped into the fray and is saying he wants to block me again for "not letting it go". (!!??). I can't believe this is actually happening, but it is. I have tried to move on from the Fox News mess, I have found some other, non-controversial articles to contribute to... but this guy keeps coming at me and it seems he has an admin on his side. This is just so crazy I can't even believe it. R. Baley, thank God, has asked for another admin to step in and give an opinion... and you seem very fair minded. I trust whatever your opinion is. If you could just stop by here and drop a line I would appreciate it... whatever you have to say. Seriously. If I'm in the wrong here, then say so. But I am just dumbfounded this is actually still continuing and I just want it to stop one way or another. Thanks. Jsn9333 ( talk) 03:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
You seem to be posting some promotional usernames to UAA, however most of the accounts are quite stale. Most last edited 2 weeks ago.
That's because there's a backlog of spam and spammers that no one has bothered to clear out, which I'm working my way through chronologically. I've been busy the last couple of weeks, or I would have tagged them earlier. Including several offenders who hadn't been blocked after I tagged their pages the first time a week ago.
Also, UAA has recently tightened up its crtieria for posting; only names that need to be blocked right now (i.e. similar to AIV requirements; such as actively spamming usernames or blatantly offensive usernames (racist, cursewords, things like that).
Inappropriate user names and accounts get blocked and spam pages get deleted. Period/full-stop. Whether they're one minute old or one month old doesn't change that -- and WP:UAA is where they get reported.
You have posted close to 3 text pages of these usernames to the UAA page, I have not looked at every one, but a random spot check of about 10 of them showed that all of them are quite stale, the most recent edit I could find from ANY of them is from April 13th.
Two weeks is NOT "quite stale" by any reasonable measure, and age doesn't make them suddenly more appropriate.
Blocking the mass of them takes some considerable manpower from admins, and the admins could user [sic] their time more wisely addressing more pressing needs than blocking inactive accounts.
Blocking them individually as they come up would have taken the same amount of time, in total, as doing them en masse -- possibly more, counting inefficiencies -- so that's an argument that holds absolutely no water. Unless you're suggesting that admins shouldn't bothering doing any blocking of spammers/deleting of spam at all, which you're going to have a hard time selling to anyone except the hardcore " every page is sacred" crowd.
If you don't want to do it, perhaps you should let someone else handle it. -- Calton | Talk 06:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I have had to remove several reports at WP:AIV which do not comply with the guidelines. Please take some time to read the boilerplate at the top of WP:AIV as well as Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. Please note that you must demonstrate that you have exhausted all other attempts at getting a user to stop problematic edits BEFORE they will be blocked. Try leaving a friendly, handwritten note on their talk page explaining what they are doing wrong. If that doesn't work, leave a sterner warning. Users that have not been warned multiple times, and given ample opportunity to correct their own behavior are not likely to be blocked. Blocking is the last resort, not the first, when dealing with problematic editors. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 02:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'm grateful to you for unblocking me and have a couple of requests. You wrote on the box that unblocks me on my page that you don't believe me when I say I haven't edited Wikipedia before. I'm assuming this means you're saying I'm lying, but what you've written isn't true, I already said that I have edited Wikipedia before, just read the bit above the box. Could you change what you've written so that it's not accusing me of lying by saying I haven't edited Wikipedia. Sure, accuse me of lying, I don't mind that but just don't accuse me of lying by saying something that isn't true about me when you can see it's not true by reading what I wrote. The bit where I said that I have edited Wikipedia is just above what you've written if you need to see it. I'm not accusing you of anything so please don't ban me, I'm just asking that what you wrote about me in the box is true. The other request is about the comment I wanted to leave on Jimbo's talk page. I got banned because I left the comment. Is there somewhere I can get my comment approved so I can leave it or someone that can give me permission to leave the comment or tell me how to change it so I won't get banned.

Thank you for assuming good faith (clearly, unlike certain others) in removing the block. Given that this action was taken before the block expired and appears to be in entire agreement with the reasons for my request, I have reconsidered. I am postponing the action I initially intended on taking immediately against the admin who enforced the unreasonably unnecessary block. Hopefully, this action will not be necessary at all in the future. However, if the admin continues to make similarly poor decisions, or continues to assume bad-faith (as above) and the like, then I will not hesitate to proceed as I had planned earlier to review his adminship, and this incident will be used as evidence. Due to the circumstances surrounding this case, I think this is quite a reasonable step. Still, I would like to thank you for your time, patience and understanding in fulfilling my request. Ncmvocalist ( talk) 02:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I was observing what is occurring re: this. I know you're an administrator and know the policies quite well, but I still wanted to say that I was the person who first noticed the use of Slim Virgin's page when I went to the the user's page to leave a message and found it to be quite confusing. WP:Harass says "Harassment is defined as a pattern of offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to have the purpose of adversely affecting a targeted person or persons" which is what it initially did until I sorted out what had happened. I couldn't understand why an administrator would purposely insert a fragment like "is also a prominent substance abuser" into the lead sentence of an article. WP:Harass also says "There is no way to spell out all the behaviors that can be considered harassment from the early incubation of a pattern to an unmistakable offense" and since Slim Virgin approached this user first and removed her page material, and when it was removed again by Crum375, the edit summary specifically said "This is a form of harassment -- please stop." AFP was aware it was objectionable, thus negating any argument that he/she has violated no policy. I admit that my own experience with this user wasn't the best, it also tended to lean toward the disregard of requests and perhaps purposefully evasion of actual issues. Thanks.

After 2 weeks on Wave Power, it is fairly clear that page is very important to Alternative Energy and it needs to be re-written to bring it up to speed and exceed the Discovery Channel. No joke, I just added 2 patents to the main article, tracked the assignee, and saw their work on a Discovery clip. Fabulous stuff. Given that I am conflicted with www.gewp.org , what can we (mouse in my pocket) / I do to help re-write the article and push it up in importance in the appropriate portals? Not only am I conflicted with gewp, but I am running Google Adwords on the keywords "alternative energy" and "wave power", world-wide. That's half my income, so you might be able to see that I am very serious about doing anything I can to head off (buzz words deleted) over energy. Nukeh ( talk) 20:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I am financially conflicted in the opposite manner as normally encountered: My work for gewp.org is pro bono and gewp.org itself places all new technology into the public domain, creating a patent bar immediately upon publication. My payment for AdWords is a charitable contribution to gewp, and gewp is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in formation. I do this as an experienced inventor in biotechnology, having ~600 uspto.gov patent references. One of my patents was litigated through three levels of court up to the CA Supreme Court in 2006, and the award was a record: $34.5M. I also figure the US government has ~ $50M in me via grants and training over a 30 year period. Given the status of energy in our world, and some of the obvious consequences for the future (war, stagflation, greenhouse, nuclear proliferation, etc.), I feel that I have no choice but to act in a charitable manner as an inventor. My affiliations are exclusively to www.gewp.org, and other charitable organizations, having retired from all other work years ago. I have no financial interest in anything except blinded CA State bonds which are the current source of my charitable giving. Nukeh ( talk) 02:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
If the wave power article is not as current as a Discovery program, and someone has blanketed the article with wave gizmos that consist of 404's and "contact the company for more information", why would you question my philanthropic motives? Every day, I am bidding directly against Chevron and others to increase traffic on keywords such as "alternative energy".
We are all in trouble: The fact of the matter is that it is now feasible to convert either to solar or wave power for a Hydrogen economy. The references are on www.gewp.org. These references need to be on WP, because WP is seen as more authoritative than gewp.
Here is another problem: It appears that there is no legitimate purpose for new nuclear plants if solar and/or wave is adequate. If that becomes both USA domestic and foreign policy, then we are in a strong position to deter nuclear proliferation via reactors constructed on the premise of energy supply. However, to say that solar and / or wave power is adequately sufficient to power all of mankind at 100 terawatts is also to say that the oil industry is condemned.
Please direct me to the appropriate WP rules for a sole inventor, sole source, philanthropist who wishes to contribute to articles. Nukeh ( talk) 05:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Jayron32, I hope you'll reconsider what you wrote here: "Actually, having looked over the whole of the changes to the article, it is you who proprose the major changes while several other editors seem to independently ALL disagree with your changes, and wish to maintain the article's status quo."
The major edit which was being battled over was the insertion into the first sentence of the judgment that CAMERA is pro-Israel (as opposed to "is cited as pro-Israel," which appears in a later sentence and is obviously accurate.) For almost the entire history of this article, there was no such assertion in the first sentence. It was added quite recently, and I was trying to revert to the previous status quo -- while discussing on the discussion page. The other editors would revert this change immediately, and often wouldn't engage in real discussion that addresses specifics questions I raised in the discussion section. Now, it may be true that 3 or 4 editors -- whose biases I won't bother to discuss -- disagreed with me. But that doesn't seem to be a reason to block me, remove the 'neutrality disputed' tag (not you, but the other administrator), and allow the others free reign to make their one-sided edits. (I should note also that there was someone else who backed my view, but he, too was ignored. Even Nagle, who doesn't tend to agree with me on this article, was ignored when he proposed compromise language. Now a new person [canadamonkey or something like that] is proposing compromise language, and is being ignored. So what can be done?) Thanks for your comments. Gni ( talk) 03:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

So, the best thing that came to your mind for Race and intelligence is this? You call it an edit war when a couple of racist editors are trying to add pseudoscientific commentary into the article and truly neutral editors are trying to stop them? Does that mean you support the racists, because protecting an article this bad seems to confuse me greatly? Or does it mean you spent 2 nanoseconds reviewing the commentary of the anti-semitic editors--maybe if you did, could you not have used those impressive admin powers to do some good such as blocking the racists? Thanks a lot for your wonderful assistance to the project. Sigh. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 00:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the apology. And let me apologize for implying that you were a racist. Please please please understand that I am extremely sensitive to anti-Semitism that is prevalent in two or three of the editors to Race and intelligence. Many of my family members are no longer enjoying the laughs of the grand children and great grandchildren because of the Holocaust, because someone didn't stand up to Hitler when he was just a ranting fool. I want everyone to do as I would do, push them down and crush them before their foolish rants kill people. Finally, I like your style. The article is not just a piece of shit, it is a stinking pile of rotting shit. And a couple of the editors there need to have their asses handed to them.

I removed the graphic on your wiki page because it violates Wikipedia rules of profanity.
"Words and images that would be considered offensive, profane, or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers should be used if they are informative, relevant and accurate, and should be avoided when they serve no other purpose than to shock the reader. Including information about offensive material is part of Wikipedia's encyclopedic mission; being offensive is not." [8] RipWinkleVan | Talk
Jayron, although I agree that the image can stay on your userpage (I reverted ripwinklevan the first time he removed it), I don't think an edit summary like your most recent is at all helpful. It is rather unbecoming of an admin, IMHO, for two reasons. One, it isn't your userpage, it's Wikipedia's, and 2. It is way too tasty. WP:RBI, man. RbI. .02. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
For all of you to to be admins you are sure not acting like admins. I gave reasons for me removing the graphic above and all I get is your personal opinions why it should stay. Not one of you ADMINS referenced the Wiki rules that I provided and took the rules into consideration. You all sound like a bunch of kids bickering. Per the Wiki rules my first attempt to change something should be done through the editor. This is seeming pointless at this time.

I haven't seen the content of the emails you were sent though, so your perspective on that would be appreciated.

Hello user Jayron Wiki Admin. i would like to know if you could give me support for couple of articles i am researching and working on. i am a student at University if Toronto (Scarborough Campus) and am currently studying at the Department of Philosophy & Religion. My intrest is Hinduism and Sacred Books. At this moment i have learned that in the holy books of Hinduism contains quotes about the following people
the list goes on.
Currently my team (U of T) is working on an article called ( Mahamada) which contains information from an Hindu prespective and mentions about Muhammad in several books. Some users perhaps racist users are not allowing us to contribute to this article and are redirecting the article to another holy book that describes Muhammad. This is not fair for the other holy books containing information about Muhammad. We are working on Mahammad article because we have enough information to claim Jesus and the second target was Mahamad. could you watch out for the article. We are not yet going to revert the edits by them until we post actual photos of these holy books and the texts. -- Vedesh10 ( talk) 09:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Jayron, I got your name of of the list of sysops and I was wondering if you could check something out for me. This user is adding 'Christian Rock' to Family Force 5 genre(s) and is using heavily-biased, first-party sources to back up this claim. Also, in these sources the band does not refer to themselves as 'Christian Rock' they merely talk about being Christians. I have informed the said user of policy and they continue to revert my edits when I try and fix the problem. He/She says policy does not apply here and I need to use common sense. If I am wrong and policy infact does not apply here I will gladly step down, and drop the issue. If you have the time to check this out I would greatly appreciate it, and if not I understand. Thanks and have a great day. Landon1980 ( talk) 17:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for your time and opinion. I'm not trying to cause problems here. My only issue is how he is sourcing his claim. He is using first-party, heavily-biased sources to do this. Within the sources the don't even contain the words 'Christian Rock' He is using the statement "We don't care if ppl label us a Christian Band or not" to back up his claim. I just feel that if this claim were true they would say "We don't care if ppl label us a Christian Band, because we are a christian Band." Or at least something to that effect. I have frequented wikipedia for years now, this is my first account, and first time doing much editing but I am familiar with policy. I have never seen primary sources, and heavily-biased sources be used for things like this, let alone ones that you are expected to draw a conclusion by reading, and use common sense. I would think if they are going to be these kind of sources they should at least be explicit. If this claim is true he should be able to properly source it, or at least use a proper primary source. I'm not going to continue to clutter up your page with this. Just answer one question for me and I'll leave you alone. Why does policy not apply in this situation so I know in the future. On the said article ppl have tried to do what he did for months, now all of the sudden he comes along adds that genre and it sticks. I follow policy and all my edits are reverted. All I want him to do is properly source his claim, if he cannot do this it isn't my problem. Landon1980 ( talk) 01:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Because it is up to the user adding the content to find and add the references for it. He and I have reached an agreement anyways. I thought Christian sites were biased, if you just ggogle Family Force 5, instead of "Family Force 5 Christian review" nothing regarding Christianity pops up. I'm not going to mess with the article any more. I'll leave that up to someone else. I just thought if you want to put in an article someone eats tomatoes, the best place to verify this isn't a site that promotes eating tomatoes. I'm sure you know what I mean. Actual reliable un-biased sources for the most part call them alternative rock, or crunk Rock. The Christian sites are the only that do otherwise. Some good sources call them a Christian crossover Crunk Rock band, but certainly not 'Christian Rock'. You don't have to worry about this, I'm not going to mess with the article.

I have asked a couple of times to get Soccermeko's most common targets semiprotected (you apparently slept in this morning, and missed a couple of sock attacks). The best I was able to persuade the regulars at WP:RFPP to give me was a 72-hour semi on Nicole Wray. I think we both know that Soccermeko is far more determined than that. What I would like is a few weeks of semi-protection on Nicole Wray, as well as semi-protection on the articles listed in this AFD. User:Hello Control nominated a whole series of articles that Soccermeko created in January.

It most certainly was not "low grade edit warring"; it was a pretty involved case of a disruptive SPA constantly attacking and berating anyone whom didn't agree with him (including two administrators and multiple editors). Taking him at his word, and then summarizing it as fact in WP:ANI does a disservice to both the ANI action implemented by R.Baley and my reputation. I hope this message isn't offensive (it's not intended to be incendiary or chiding), but I would ask that you carefully consider these sorts of issues in the future. Thanks for your help, and have a good weekend! / Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Can you treat this case [11]? I think that it´s more than suspicious, almost ovbious I would say...
Thank you, -- Ultracanalla ( talk) 03:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you have listed yourself as a peer review volunteer in the area of sports. I would like comments on an article I have recently put up for review, SummerSlam (1988). Any help is appreciated, so if you have some time, I'd appreciate your comments here. Thanks so much! If you are not interested in reviewing the article, please ignore this message.

Hi Jayron32, I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from, but what has happened this time is that user:Blaxthos launched a fresh accusation on the ANI. He has accused me of being a socket puppet of some user he exchanged barbs with apparently a long time ago or something. There is no evidence presented at all, just the fact that both myself and this other user have traded barbs with Blaxthos. Seriously. That's it. You can see for yourself. No network matching, grammar comparison, time-edit matching... *nothing*!
Of course I had to respond to this... I'm not a socketpuppet nor do I have a socketpuppet... and I can't just sit and let myself be permanently blocked. So I responded, pointing out that there are many, many editors who have traded barbs with Blaxthos. I did not want to respond, but what am I supposed to do? I know I'm not a socket puppet. And therefore I know there is absolutely zero evidence that I am.
Now, of course, user:R. Baley has jumped into the fray and is saying he wants to block me again for "not letting it go". (!!??). I can't believe this is actually happening, but it is. I have tried to move on from the Fox News mess, I have found some other, non-controversial articles to contribute to... but this guy keeps coming at me and it seems he has an admin on his side. This is just so crazy I can't even believe it. R. Baley, thank God, has asked for another admin to step in and give an opinion... and you seem very fair minded. I trust whatever your opinion is. If you could just stop by here and drop a line I would appreciate it... whatever you have to say. Seriously. If I'm in the wrong here, then say so. But I am just dumbfounded this is actually still continuing and I just want it to stop one way or another. Thanks. Jsn9333 ( talk) 03:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
You seem to be posting some promotional usernames to UAA, however most of the accounts are quite stale. Most last edited 2 weeks ago.
That's because there's a backlog of spam and spammers that no one has bothered to clear out, which I'm working my way through chronologically. I've been busy the last couple of weeks, or I would have tagged them earlier. Including several offenders who hadn't been blocked after I tagged their pages the first time a week ago.
Also, UAA has recently tightened up its crtieria for posting; only names that need to be blocked right now (i.e. similar to AIV requirements; such as actively spamming usernames or blatantly offensive usernames (racist, cursewords, things like that).
Inappropriate user names and accounts get blocked and spam pages get deleted. Period/full-stop. Whether they're one minute old or one month old doesn't change that -- and WP:UAA is where they get reported.
You have posted close to 3 text pages of these usernames to the UAA page, I have not looked at every one, but a random spot check of about 10 of them showed that all of them are quite stale, the most recent edit I could find from ANY of them is from April 13th.
Two weeks is NOT "quite stale" by any reasonable measure, and age doesn't make them suddenly more appropriate.
Blocking the mass of them takes some considerable manpower from admins, and the admins could user [sic] their time more wisely addressing more pressing needs than blocking inactive accounts.
Blocking them individually as they come up would have taken the same amount of time, in total, as doing them en masse -- possibly more, counting inefficiencies -- so that's an argument that holds absolutely no water. Unless you're suggesting that admins shouldn't bothering doing any blocking of spammers/deleting of spam at all, which you're going to have a hard time selling to anyone except the hardcore " every page is sacred" crowd.
If you don't want to do it, perhaps you should let someone else handle it. -- Calton | Talk 06:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
...for blocking User:146.145.164.39. wheeeeoooooo that was a wild ride... Gotta love huggle. Thanks again. Thingg ⊕ ⊗ 15:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Jayron - Peanut4 wants the lead expanded and a "History" section to be added in. Anyways, I did this to List of San Diego Chargers head coaches, and I was wondering (since you seem more, uhh... "experienced" with the Pats) [although I live 40 minutes from Foxboro] that you could take care of this. Thanks, Milk’s Favorite Cookie (Talk) 22:11, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
