My wheel-warring policy:
|
Admins: If you see me make a logged action that you think I should not have done, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo it without asking for my permission. However, if I marked the action as being done after running a checkuser query, or as part of a sockpuppet investigation, you should ask me or another checkuser before undoing it. In any case, if you do revert one of my actions, I would appreciate it if you tell me that you did so. Thanks! |

- I'm quite sure that there are an infinite number of DavidWSs trying to buy coconuts as a gift for an infinite number of J.delanoys, and, due to customs, will all be returned to a single on or to the sender. Due to the fact that the mass of all these coconuts exceeds the mass of our puny planet, we will all die after being covered by billions of tons of coconuts, all because a userbox specified that J.delanoy likes coconuts. Therefore, we shall blame him for the end of the world. DavidWS (contribs) 19:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- While you have infinite parallel wavefunctions (the coconuts, for instance), they are otherwise probability-tunneled variants of the same object. In the event of a wave function collapse across the infinite variations in probability, you would end up with a single coconut being returned to sender, not a multitude of coconuts. Instead of a solar-system swallowing singularity snacking sedately on our little blue-green dirtball of a world, the larger issue of your scenario would be the twin affronts to our economy of the price of coconuts dropping to nil (since we'd have an infinite supply of them) and uncollected insufficient postage costs crippling the shipping industry. Of course, since my own scenario implies a total existence failure (that is, the universe just ceases to exist), I think I'd prefer cheap coconuts instead. Laters!

- O_O Wow... Thanks! J.delanoygabsadds 18:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Totally deserved. Andy (talk) 18:11, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Ban him!
You left a warning message on User:162.82.215.196's talk page. Why not do Wiki a real favour by banning this vandal. Check his history here. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 21:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC).
- A ban applies to a person, not an IP address, so this would not be possible. We can (and do) block IP addresses when vandalism is persistent and warnings do not seem to be sufficient to stop the behavior. I issued another warning to the user in question; if it continues, rest assured a block will be forthcoming. Frank | talk 21:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- It didn't take long. There were four warnings from four different editors in the last 24 hours. Frank | talk 21:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Editor Review
Hey J.delanoy, when you get the time, could you review me at my editor review? Thanks. UntilItSleeps PublicPC (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Be nice to me
The words "popular", "successful", "long-running" and so on are not "POV" words as you label them, they are descriptive. While it is certainly legitimate to challenge on of them for their accuracy, they are not verboten in and of themselves, and deleting them wherever you find them is, once again, disruptive to the encyclopedia. --98.192.44.39 (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Natural disaster
I reverted your revert to this article as "vandalism". Immediately afterwards I noticed that you had tried doing the right thing, but hadn't noticed previous vandalism. I've reverted the article to the last stable version. My apologies for this incident. JoJan (talk) 17:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hah, I didn't even notice. It's not a problem. J.delanoygabsadds 19:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, J.delanoy. In the chapter Ethnogenesis and getetic links an unregistred 141.211.29.184 (talk) has predominantly disruptive edits . Any sources or references, only reverts in his POV-pushing and constant deleting of well sourced info. This is not correct. Regards. Jingby (talk) 18:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Is YouTube considered a reliable source, under any circumstance? --The Guy complain edits 18:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- No. Any user-generated content is unreliable, because anyone can say whatever they want. J.delanoygabsadds 19:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- What if it's official from the creator of a content. For example: there is, hypothetically, some information about a book on the writer's YouTube page. A user argues that it is reliable because it is the writer's YouTube, not a random account's. Is it reliable in that theoretical case? --The Guy complain edits 19:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm. I don't know about that. I'd say that if it is legitimate information, it is unlikely that the only place you can get that info would be on YouTube, so maybe try and see if you can find the info somewhere else, and only use YouTube as a last resort if there is utterly nothing anywhere else. J.delanoygabsadds 19:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the actual predicament is quite different. It's that somebody is trying to write a description for a music video, but it is severely POV. I mean, every sentence there is something like "there is soldiers who resemble soldiers from Nazi Germany," etc, except he has no references to back up those POVs. I tried removing the content, but he is adamant that YouTube is a valid reference for those POV sentences. I am sure YouTube is not a valid reference in that case, is it? --The Guy complain edits 19:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Correct. Unless a reliable source says they look like Nazi soldiers, saying they do is a personal opinion and thus it is original research, which is unacceptable. Describing something yourself is not appropriate, as things will likely look different to other people. J.delanoygabsadds 19:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure if I tell him this, he'll still argue it. I'm basically done, this is getting to the point where I'm getting stressed, and I'm the only one arguing against him. Would you like to help me, please? Just say the word. If not, then that's fine, too. --The Guy complain edits 19:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- OK I'll see what I can do. J.delanoygabsadds 19:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the link to the discussion and here's the section in question. Thanks! --The Guy complain edits 19:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to consult you; I made a reply here, and I wanted your opinion (at your earliest convenience, of course) on whether it is in compliance with the general policies, and whether or not it is well thought-out. Thanks in advance. --The Guy complain edits 02:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Seems good. J.delanoygabsadds 02:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the opinion. Now, here's the original description of the music video which was being debated:
“ | The video starts out with the The Guy, Disturbed's mascot, falling to earth. It then shows tanks sporting a sideways black American dollar sign within a circle of white that is within a field of red, followed by legions of soldiers, all dressed in black Nazi SS-like uniforms, with only their shoulder patches showing that they belong to different countries. Later on, the leaders of the United States, Russia, France, Japan, and United Kingdom are shown sitting at a table with the same sideways black American dollar sign on it, fiercely debating. The video then shifts into full scale violence as cities around the world are bombed and the troops, whose patches have been replaced with the same symbol as on the tanks, shoot people down in the streets. Eventually The Guy confronts the soldiers and stirs the rebels to revolt, and flags of the nations of the world are shown, with the final flag being the sideways black American dollar sign. The Guy then leads the rebels to the United Nations building where they attack the representatives and finally the overweight businessman whom, when destroyed by The Guy, explodes into dollar bills, implying that he was the embodiment of greed. | ” |
Here's the one I just made, adjusted as I watched the video. I tried to keep my own interpretations out, favoring instead to simply state the events of the video:
“ | The video initially depicts The Guy, Disturbed's mascot, falling to earth. It then displays military forces bombing various locations, followed by legions of soldiers from different countries. The video then shows The Guy, escaping bondage from chains, as the military forces continue to assault cities. Then the video depicts The Guy wandering city streets as they are being bombed and as soldiers are killing people. Later on, the leaders of different countries of the world are shown fiercely debating. Eventually, The Guy confronts soldiers and stirs rebels to revolt, killing the soldiers as The Guy leads more rebels to a building where they overthrow the representatives and finally a businessman whom, when destroyed by The Guy, explodes into dollar bills, which fall to earth as the rebels, and eventually, The Guy, raise their fists in unity. | ” |
Is mine an improvement? --The Guy complain edits 02:38, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm probably not the best person to ask that, but I think it's OK. J.delanoygabsadds 02:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Do you know any users who could come into this discussion and give an unbiased viewpoint? Right now he's arguing the significance of the Swastika (which doesn't appear once in the video, but a thing he believes to resemble it does). He's saying since the Swastika is so significant, then that means if something resembles it, it belongs there. He continues to revert my edits, and still is citing YouTube as a reference. He even posted a reference for one of his user-interpretations. I was surprised and was going to let it pass; until I checked the reference. It was a photo of the thing he was describing, with not text, but the comment he was citing it for said that the drawing resembled SS soldiers and Darth Vader, clearly his own interpretation, him citing a simple picture making that obvious. Anyways, I just want some more unbiased opinions, here. He doesn't take me seriously, so I figure I need at least another person to sort this out, as I suspect both our aspects are a little misconstrued. --The Guy complain edits 15:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- You might try asking User:Realist2. He does a lot of work with articles related to music. J.delanoygabsadds 15:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Question For Ya
Perhaps you know the question to this. Why have all images changes from "Image:<file name here>" to "File:<file name here>"? Just wondering. - NeutralHomer • Talk • December 14, 2008 @ 03:09
- A bug was fixed. J.delanoygabsadds 03:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

all in good fun
wow, that deletion of my joke on the article "Covini C6W" was super fast. are you on this thing all the time??? don't you agree, the C6W is very goofy? who in their right mind would drive this? looks like a cross between a sports car and tractor trailer. anyway, just thought my "goofy" comment would inject a little humor. no real attempt at vandalism. i actually counted on someone to correct the page, but didn't count on it being so soon. 128.147.28.1 (talk) 03:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC)captainpicard

Rollback misuse
I was considering creating {{uw-rollback}} to warn users about rollback abuse. How many warnings should the users be given for this? -- IRP ☎ 21:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Just my two cents' worth: Users with rollback privileges are already established regulars, so a templated warning for rollback abuse might raise WP:DTTR concerns. Cosmic Latte (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- WP:DTTR (and WP:TTR, come to that) are personal essays, not any kind of policy, so pay as much or as little attention to it as you want. My take would be that this template is unnecessary for the opposite reason; no warning ought to be given. If a user's abusing rollback – or any other tool – take it away from them and they can reapply when they're ready. Inappropriate rollback is more disruptive than vandalism, as it potentially drives away valid editors, and I see no reason to make allowances if kids don't know how to work their new toys. – iridescent 21:24, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Request for Advice on dealing with a new editor
Hi, User talk:arojr has been adding links to his blog to various articles, which have all been reverted. His first complete article Transportation and the Farmington canal was speedied G12 yesterday for being a copy of an article on his blog. To get around this he has removed the article from his blog and recreated it here. He's asked me if this is OK. How do I tell him that this doesn't really solve the problem with the article - which is a school report - without discouraging him from contributing?

Editing problem...
Ughh....too used to different formatting. Do you know an internal link that could help me out with background colours, boundaries, etc? Thanks! Cheers. Imperat§ r(Talk) 16:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- No I don't, sorry :/ Most of what I know I learned by looking around and seeing how other people do it. A good place to learn some fun tricks is in User:Phaedriel's userspace. She was freakin' awesome at combining wikimarkup and HTML. As far as colors go, they are just HTML colors. here is a mess of colors, and if you want moar, I'm sure googling "HTML colors" would come up with plenty of results.

hey
...been a while! :) Thanks for this. And congrats on the adminship! Noticed that only now. prashanthns (talk) 16:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks :) I saw your post on Jimbo's talk page, and I went to your page to say "Hi" (and to be envious of your pic with him...) I saw the typo, so I fixed it, and I was going to leave a note on your talk page, but I got distracted by my teacher so I forgot. Welcome back! J.delanoygabsadds 17:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Please Ban
Hi I am a high school student at this IP (199.216.95.253). You banned the IP for 1 year until September 11 2009. I am requesting that you permaban our IP. Since the intelligence of our students in this district will not increase over 1 year thank you! Thank you again for your time! scarred_phoenix —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scarred phoenix (talk • contribs) 18:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Phoenix.
- You are probably right, but we generally don't block IP addresses permanently. Also, when the block expires, if there is more vandalism, it will likely be only a short time before your school is blocked for another year. It only takes a short time to block someone, and our anti-vandalism team is very good, so I don't think it will be a major issue. Thanks for the advice, though.

- If you don't vandalize any more, you won't be blocked, so don't worry about it. J.delanoygabsadds 04:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
hello
I edited a page called wheelchairs. and I said that sometimes electric wheelchairs break and one man died which is true. I was not vandalizing. Can you switch it back? Please respond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigidi (talk • contribs) 04:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure something like that would be good for inclusion, since it is pretty vague, and it really doesn't seem to be very informative. Sorry for saying it like that, I can't think of a better way to say it. J.delanoygabsadds 04:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Unusual template sighting
A new editor asking your advice: can you tell me what template {reset} is used for, and why an editor might put it on a page he created himself? Thanks, Chuckiesdad (talk) 05:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm. I've never seen that template before. I think it's used when an article is really bad, like libelous, and the Wikimedia Foundation basically rolls it back to almost non-existent. In any case, only WMF staff can do that, so I undid his edit. J.delanoygabsadds 05:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
South Park "Trapped in the Closet" credits are John Smith
If you watch the episode, all credits are listed as John Smith and Jane Smith. That is how it is listed. Not vandalism, that is correct. -Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.187.154.49 (talk) 05:35, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

your previous game
ouch,
did you see the chess competition I'm "attempting"? (check it out)
--TheCiscoKid Talk to me 22:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi There, just seen the Leona Lewis page, noticed that you reverted the edits but on my browser i am still seeing nothing where the article used to be, maybe its just my browser but thought id check to make sure with you. (Neostinker (talk) 23:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC))
- Try purging the server cache. J.delanoygabsadds 23:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
I believe there has been a mistake.
You have recently sent me a message regarding an unconstructive change to the Rochelle, IL page on Wikipedia. I made no such change to the page and I don't know who did or how the message was sent to me, because I don't have a wikipedia account and can't edit pages. Just letting you know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.54.25.114 (talk) 23:40, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, you don't have to have an account to edit >99% of pages on this site (although you can do a lot more if you do create an account and log in). If you are not logged in, Wikipedia's software treats your IP address as your username, so it is likely that someone else used the IP you have now to vandalize. Again, the best way to avoid getting irrelevant warnings is to create an account. I would encourage you to do so. Wikipedia requires absolutely no personal information to create an account, although it is recommended that you provide an email address in case you forget your password.

Thank you for unblocking me (I promise not to vandalize again). But i do ask of you a question.....How do you make user boxes? Please get back to and Thankyou User:Washington95 (talk) 00:10, 17 December, 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Washington!
- I think this page shows how to do it. If you can't figure it out, feel free to ask. J.delanoygabsadds 00:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey, i got the user box and the content but I cant get the picture, Any tips, Thank you.Washington95 (talk) 00:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean. Do you just want to add an image to your page? J.delanoygabsadds 00:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Fable II
Hi, I noticed you just reverted some IP's edit on the Fable II article. That was fast!! I had already looked at your userpage earlier today, and a couple minutes ago I looked at "recent changes." The blanking of the page was literally the fourth edit on the list, and as soon as I clicked on the history (from the Recent Changes menu) I saw that you had already reverted it. Well, anyway, good job. Go give yourself a barnstar or something. Tezkag72 01:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah. I'm using a software tool, so I can't take credit for it, but thanks! J.delanoygabsadds 01:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
