In most cases (except nl and pl) the account has no contributions. I have already gotten renamed on Commons (see completed request: [1]) and Meta (see completed request: [2]) , and as renames happen I will connect them to Josette which is an SUL account (as is this one, disconnection to rename is OK).

I noticed you un-bolded Women in rodeo in the first sentence of its article. I understand bolding the topic in the opening sentence is more or less policy. Maybe I missed something?

Why do you think "Commentaries" in Rodeo in the United States is better suited to the animal treatment in rodeo article? I don't follow your thinking. Could we Talk?

Oh, I get it. Your playing some sort of "payback" game. Tit for tat. That's not civil. What we are trying to do is cite material in the Rodeo article per WP policy. Most of the rodeo article appears to be someone's OR and POV. I'm working to improve the article and WP in the process. Are you? Or are you getting all "pointy" and playing the payback game?

Hello. I have recently been warned about personal attacks and the possibility of being blocked. Before that happens, I would like to make my peace with you.

About Phar Lap, do you not think that "Australia's Wonder Horse" is POV, considering the horse was born in New Zealand. Did you know the horse was American owned?.

Sometimes, being turned back at the door isn't such a bad thing |
Sojourner Truth seems to attract an inordinate amount of juvenile vandalism. Given the incessant amount of vandalism and the corresponding need for reversing and reverting this nonsense, isn't there some official way to provide partial protection to the article, restricting editing to people who have at least signed into the Wikipedia system? Almost all the vandalism comes from anonymous accounts. As the leading defender of the article, are you willing to approach a WP administrator with this request? It seems appropriate to me. Dwalls ( talk) 04:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Josette - I thought I'd give a little heads-up about Ernest the Sheep's behaviour and the reason for his block. He has been, to put it bluntly, a serious pest on many articles relating to New Zealand culture, especially those where the culture overlaps with Australian culture. He has broken the 3-revert rule more times than I'd care to count, has repeatedly insulted and laid unfounded accusations against numerous good-faith editors (including at least three admins), and has repeatedly made snide and occasionally racist comments about New Zealand editors in general. The harm he has done, in terms of his repeated reversions to incorrect versions of articles, the ill-will (to the extent of trolling) that he has engendered, and his attitude in general, far outweighs any good he has done on Wikipedia on those articles where he has behaved in a courteous or helpful manner. Add to that his attempts to evade the block once it was put in place so as to continue his vandalism on those articles, I don't see any call for him to be unblocked succeeding. Grutness... wha? 22:26, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Do your research, or at least look at the referenced link.
I'm rather surprised that it was speedy deleted, considering I was expecting someone else in the AfD for Sarah Thomson to put it up at AfD. I am also confused about which criteria it was. The article, while a stub, still had relevant information and was fairly well written, so A7 would not apply to it in the slightest. I also could have sworn that it had reliable sources, which would make G11 not apply as well. It should have gone up for AfD, not been speedy deleted. Silver seren C 20:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey Josette, if you want to peek in my sandbox, I'm working on a BLP at User:Montanabw/Sandbox2, and would be interested in seeing if you (and Lar) think I am on the right track with adequate sourcing for BLP and if it looks like it will pass notability without being viewed as promotional. Still very rough form of course. The photos are all mine from my road trip down there (email me if you want to see the REALLY GOOD ones I didn't upload to commons) Montanabw (talk) 23:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Josette, seeing as how you are in the mood to tell it like it is (grin) I'm about half-thinking about trying to take that new article I finished not too long ago, Sheila Varian to GA. I don't really think it could ever go clear to FA, but I'd like to stick a toe into trying a GA again. Can you give the current version there a look and let me know (on the talk page there) where improvements may be needed, especially as it is a BLP? As you are not an Arabian horse person, you will probably have enough neutrality to see if there are problems. Tell Lar his input is also welcome! Thanks! Montanabw (talk) 06:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Remember this nightmare? Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/ItsLassieTime#Buttermilk1950 Articles 1 through 11 . Yeah, me too. Now we have a bunch of possible copyvios from this sock drawer, and there is the potential that a bunch of articles may need some serious review to avoid being thrown out. I went through all the Buttermilk 1950 edits and verified or tossed all but three, and am begging you for a bit of help because you were such a fantastic support at the time. The first one I'd appreciate you helping to cite check for plagiarism is Women in rodeo, which may actually be worth keeping if the sources can be checked. The second is Gay rodeo, for similar reasons. The third is Animal treatment in rodeo, which I don't feel I can check because I'd have trouble maintaining objectivity (I think the article is biased, a content fork and should be tossed, as the rodeo article itself covers the topic in a more neural fashion. But others may disagree), so someone who can be more neutral than me needs to look it over. If this isn't your cuppa tea, feel free to give someone else you think is a good editor a heads up.

Hi Josette, I have made edits to the Samuel F. Hodge & Company page which include references found on two different websites.

I found the new address which is: www.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca/documents/HGL2/default.asp?Ds559 I uploaded some images from my collection to the page and wondered if there was some way to rearrange the images instead of having them all on the right side of the page.

The harm he has done, in terms of his repeated reversions to incorrect versions of articles, the ill-will (to the extent of trolling) that he has engendered, and his attitude in general, far outweighs any good he has done on Wikipedia on those articles where he has behaved in a courteous or helpful manner. Add to that his attempts to evade the block once it was put in place so as to continue his vandalism on those articles, I don't see any call for him to be unblocked succeeding. Grutness... wha? 22:26, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi again Josette :) Not sure if you're still following Ernest's talk-page, but if you have anything to add to my latest there, your comments would be very welcome. EyeSerene talk 10:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Am I to understand that Josette and Jack are sockpuppets of one another? [3] If so, weighing in on the AFD discussions in support of yourself strikes me as a great way to get banned again. Fladrif ( talk) 20:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I can't imagine your reasons. Its cleaned up my way.( User_talk:Yinzland)
You and Jack need to work out your differences on the talk page, rather than edit warring. While you haven't exceeded WP:3RR it is a bright line, not an entitlement. Thanks. ++ Lar: t/ c 10:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Oh my! A Dancing with the Stars table, template and succession box! The entire set! I inadvertently stumbled upon something about Donny being a singer. And something about a sister, who can dance, but not as well as Donny, and some brothers. Rossrs ( talk) 21:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Do your research, or at least look at the referenced link.
I'm rather surprised that it was speedy deleted, considering I was expecting someone else in the AfD for Sarah Thomson to put it up at AfD. I am also confused about which criteria it was. The article, while a stub, still had relevant information and was fairly well written, so A7 would not apply to it in the slightest. I also could have sworn that it had reliable sources, which would make G11 not apply as well. It should have gone up for AfD, not been speedy deleted. Silver seren C 20:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey Josette, if you want to peek in my sandbox, I'm working on a BLP at User:Montanabw/Sandbox2, and would be interested in seeing if you (and Lar) think I am on the right track with adequate sourcing for BLP and if it looks like it will pass notability without being viewed as promotional. Still very rough form of course. The photos are all mine from my road trip down there (email me if you want to see the REALLY GOOD ones I didn't upload to commons) Montanabw (talk) 23:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Josette, seeing as how you are in the mood to tell it like it is (grin) I'm about half-thinking about trying to take that new article I finished not too long ago, Sheila Varian to GA. I don't really think it could ever go clear to FA, but I'd like to stick a toe into trying a GA again. Can you give the current version there a look and let me know (on the talk page there) where improvements may be needed, especially as it is a BLP? As you are not an Arabian horse person, you will probably have enough neutrality to see if there are problems. Tell Lar his input is also welcome! Thanks! Montanabw (talk) 06:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I am just now reading the RFC and saw your question. I don't think anyone answered you so I slipped in an answer under your question here. HTH, -- CrohnieGal Talk 14:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the kind words. Your support was a true gem in a pile of mostly rubbish. Hope all's well. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 19:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
You wiped out way too much here. The Dancing with the Stars performances should easily be verifiable, and are included in the articles of most other DwtS performers. Also, you axed his entire discography, which I'm sure as a mistake on your part. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ( Otters want attention) 19:17, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Remember this nightmare? Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/ItsLassieTime#Buttermilk1950 Articles 1 through 11 . Yeah, me too. Now we have a bunch of possible copyvios from this sock drawer, and there is the potential that a bunch of articles may need some serious review to avoid being thrown out. I went through all the Buttermilk 1950 edits and verified or tossed all but three, and am begging you for a bit of help because you were such a fantastic support at the time. The first one I'd appreciate you helping to cite check for plagiarism is Women in rodeo, which may actually be worth keeping if the sources can be checked. The second is Gay rodeo, for similar reasons. The third is Animal treatment in rodeo, which I don't feel I can check because I'd have trouble maintaining objectivity (I think the article is biased, a content fork and should be tossed, as the rodeo article itself covers the topic in a more neural fashion. But others may disagree), so someone who can be more neutral than me needs to look it over. If this isn't your cuppa tea, feel free to give someone else you think is a good editor a heads up.

I see you were the primary author of the article, and I'd like to call your attention in case you'll see this. I live next door to Dr. Taylor and can put you in touch, if you like - perhaps if there's any references you couldn't find adequate to the ACM article, she can be of help. 96.37.252.235 ( talk) 08:46, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Josette, I have made edits to the Samuel F. Hodge & Company page which include references found on two different websites. I am new to Wikipedia editing and don't know how to make the links work in the Reference section. I also noticed that the Reference link for History of the Great Lakes is no longer working. I found the new address which is: www.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca/documents/HGL2/default.asp?Ds559 I uploaded some images from my collection to the page and wondered if there was some way to rearrange the images instead of having them all on the right side of the page. (I hope this contact is within the appropriate behavior for communication.) Ladycamera ( talk) 00:15, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
