Resuming supsended nom

There is a thread on the FPC discussion page needing a response.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:54, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for cleaning up that mess Jujutacular; it's genuinely appreciated. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 03:16, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem, feel free to let me know if any more disruption continues. Happy editing! Jujutacular talk 03:19, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Illinois

I hope I didn't offend you at all in my review! I just really like the album, and I think the article is lacking. I'm rather busy in my real life right now, otherwise I'd try and help you find some sources. I'd imagine some music journals would have some aspects on the music composition, for starters. IDK, good luck with your endeavours. --Hurricanehink (talk) 16:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Not offended at all, just trying to make the article the best it can be. Thank you for the review and comments. Jujutacular talk 16:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Yea, those changes are more along the line of what I was hoping for. I'd still *love* if there was more detail on the individual songs musically, but that's just me. Great job with the article. Hurricanehink (talk) 05:33, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

FLC National Treasures of Japan swords

Hi! Since you already reviewed a List of National Treasures of Japan, I thought you could help out with the following. List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts: swords) is currently a featured list candidate and listed as Nominations urgently needing reviews which means that it might fail unless somebody (you ;-) ) reviews the list. So far it received two "support" votes and one "oppose". All issues raised in the oppose vote have been addressed (the reviewer, "The Rambling Man") just needs to revisit the page). I'd be happy if you could take the time to review the list and leave comments, questions, suggestions and a vote ("support" or "oppose") on the nomination page. Thanks. bamse (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm quite busy IRL lately, but I'll review it over the next couple days and comment at the nomination page. Jujutacular talk 16:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. bamse (talk) 17:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Motive / motif disambiguation pages

Hi Jujutacular --

I didn't want to just go ahead and edit the text of these "motive" and "motif" pages, but I believe there's a real problem with your edit of July 2009. Please look at my new entry under your "merge or no?" discussion and see what you think - thanks. Milkunderwood (talk) 03:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Replied there. Jujutacular talk 14:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Finally got around to making changes at Wikipedia motive and motif pages, also Wiktionary "motive", all viewable in History and Discussion tabs. Please advise if any of my formatting is incorrect - thx. Milkunderwood (talk) 18:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Looks fine to me, good work. Jujutacular talk 18:43, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
thx :-) Milkunderwood (talk) 21:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OpenIndiana

Saw the thread about this at WT:AFD. Thanks for closing it because I "wimped out" on this one when I first reviewed it yesterday. I still have a hard time not thinking like a "non-admin closer". Speaking about NACS, an editor was asking me on IRC yesterday for advice on doing NACs and wanted to close the AFD in question. I told him to stay away from it because, despite the snout count, it was contentious. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:01, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I actually was evaluating it earlier and sort of wimped out myself :) However, this morning I was feeling bold! Indeed I wouldn't have closed that as a non-admin, and I even got into trouble a couple of times for closing AFDs that weren't straightforward enough. By the way... congrats on the RFA! Definitely deserving. Good luck with everything, and let me know if you ever need anything. Jujutacular talk 04:10, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, a 'featured sound' file seemed to be not working; I've tried to replace it.

I've posted Wikipedia talk:Featured sounds#Carlos Gardel - Por Una Cabeza but not sure anyone looks there much.

I asked J Milburn (talk · contribs) and he suggested I might ask you; can you take a look please? Many thanks.  Chzz  ►  01:03, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Replied there, thanks! Jujutacular talk 19:00, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Great, thanks for sorting it out for me.  Chzz  ►  00:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Battle of Orsha (1943-1944) for deletion

Hello Jujutacular, I've seen by change your notification on Blablaaa's talkpage with the invitation to contribute to the discussion. Let me tell you, that Blablaaa is blocked at the moment and was not yet able to improve the article or to contribute to the discussion now. (See the discussion on his/her talkpage!) To be able to contribute to this(!) article, his block needs to be lifted. --78.43.107.36 (talk) 11:01, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I am unfamiliar with Blablaa's block, but if he wants to be unblocked he may use {{unblock|1=Insert reason here}} to make a request. Jujutacular talk 18:23, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

FPC nomination procedure layout change?

Hi Jujutacular, I liked your proposed changes to the layout of the nomination procedure, which you mentioned at FPC talk last month. I think with a few tweaks you could go ahead and make the changes. Did you have an opinion on the PPR suggestion I made? Makeemlighter has commented that he would like to see it added, too. And perhaps at the same time we could think of something clever for the "FPCs needing feedback" box, which I agree is easily ignored with its current size and placement. Hope you don't mind the poke, :) Maedin\talk 10:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the poke! I missed the comments at FPC, and somehow missed your changes to my draft (they look good :) I've commented at WT:FPC. Jujutacular talk 13:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Great, thanks, I'll comment there, too. :) Maedin\talk 09:41, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Selective Enforcement of Rules

I was attempting to send a conflict resolution over an issue when I was blocked (not by you.) Since I felt I was blocked solely for the reason of stopping the conflict resolution, I had a friend re-write it but before he could send it YOU blocked him. I have every right to point out abuse of power by administrators. You are clearly selectively enforcing the rules. Feel free to block me again, but this time I have already sent in my complaint. You have clearly ignored the fact that both User:Tbhotch and User:DMacks have violated Wikipedia:Blocking_policy when they blocked someone they were currently having a dispute with. You ignored their violation of WP:ERA and their bullying. They have not received a warning nor have they been block. You have, however, blocked my friend who did NOTHING except offer to report this bullying to Wikipedia. He was not evading a block (I am now technically doing that, and I expect to be blocked, but this administrative bullying NEEDS to stop.)

I know you can justify blocking me, but can you justify taking NO ACTION against the others? My report has been sent, and maybe this administrative bullying will come to an end!

Now, go ahead and block me, but it will not matter because I am done (hopefully my complaint stops your selective enforcement of rules.)(98.71.226.223 (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC))

The only party I see violating WP:ERA is you. You quoted in your edit summary: "do not change from one style to another unless there is substantial reason for the change, and consensus for the change with other editors" - which is exactly what you were doing. Where is the consensus for change? If an edit of yours is reverted, you should discuss before making the change again, as that will simply lead to edit-warring. Post on the talk page and discuss if you want to make a change. Jujutacular talk 19:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Illinois redux

Looks good I noticed that you've been editing it again; are you going to try for FA once more? If so, the offer is still on the table to review it. I asked for a peer review once and posted on the appropriate WikiProjects last time. I'd be willing to try to drum up support again if you're interested. Anyway, respond on my talk if you'd like. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:56, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Sources Here are some sources that list the album as one of the best of 2005. Do you want to create (or do you want me to create) a table of these (a la Everything That Happens Will Happen Today)?:
Useful? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:16, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Looks great, I'll work on adding them. Jujutacular talk 04:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks I'm adding Amazon, PopMatters, No Ripcord, and Entertainment Weekly now. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:39, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Other albums Looking at the new Sufjan EP and LP, I see that you've edited them; do you have any interest in working on his other albums? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Shows Once, I tried to get some tickets to one of his shows at the last minute in the rain from a scalper (which is legal in Indiana), but it wasn't happening. C'est la vie. I'm sure he puts on quite a show, but I'm not sure if it will work out for me. I don't have as much to add to the other albums as I do to this one (i.e. I don't own the other albums, nor do I have much emotional investment in them), but if you want help, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:20, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

74.110.195.50

I just can't do anything about the guy; if he's not messing around with the descriptions, he's changing the season numbering. Warnings don't stop him, blocks only stop him until he realizes he's unblocked... I'm pretty sure he started as 173.67.248.75 (talk · contribs), as the edits are the same, which means he's been doing this for over a year. HalfShadow

Is List of Ni Hao, Kai-Lan episodes the only article being targeted? If so we can simply semi-protect that if he's IP hopping. Jujutacular talk 17:32, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
He's not hopping as such; assuming this is the same person, he's been using this IP since August, which suggests he has no choice but to. Anyway, the main issues with the article are roughly two IPs: this guy and another who shows up whenever he's "bored", so it's a simple matter of waiting until that one digs a deep enough hole for himself as well, so I'd rather not SP the page. SP tends to get in the way of helpful IP edits, and the page does get them. Unfortunately, the other one's IP seems to change from time to time, but he's not nearly as much a problem and often vandalizes other pages as well, so he's generally not making friends anywhere he goes.
The ironic thing is, I don't even care about the page; it's just it's a continual vandal picking on a page that doesn't deserve it, so I feel obligated to get involved and help. HalfShadow 20:43, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Galaxy table

Could you do me a favour and add a line or two more to give me an example of how to merge the vertical cells, as the graphic does? Once that's done I think I can do the rest. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 21:29, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, I think I have a handle on it -- I'll see what I can work up. I'll ping you again if I get stuck; hope that's OK. Mike Christie (talk) 21:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
That sounds fine, let me know if you have any trouble. Good work on the article by the way, you have my support once this is done :) Jujutacular talk 22:08, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
OK, take a look now. Mike Christie (talk) 01:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Looks great, thanks. Jujutacular talk 01:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for your message. No, though my surprise was genuine, you didn't offend me. Your preference for the Wikitable is reasonable and is inarguably in accord with our MoS. I continue to prefer the graphic both for stand-alone aesthetic reasons and (though I did not raise this point in the FAC) for the consistency of visual look it provides with the publication date/vol no/issue no grids earlier in the article. Our difference of opinion is fair and, possibly, fruitful. My reaction, as I stated, simply concerned the idea that such a concern could be seen as the basis for opposing an article's promotion to FA status. If the tone with which I expressed that was too personal, I apologize. I certainly harbor no ill feelings over the matter. Best, Dan.—DCGeist (talk) 18:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Black Ice (group)

Hi, I've noticed that you relisted Articles for deletion/Black Ice (group). This is the second time it has been relisted. If no one cares to participate in the discussion then perhaps that might be a tipoff of exactly how non notable this i-Tunes only group is. Wlmg (talk) 18:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

If there are no more comments over the next week and it doesn't get closed promptly, let me know, and I will close it. Jujutacular talk 19:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I added another comment for deletion and against merger because all the article's content is already in one of Ice T's other groups the Analog Brothers.Wlmg (talk) 20:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Al Capone: request for semi-protection

Hi Jujutacular-

The article on Al Capone has recently been subject to a considerable amount of persistent vandalism, as seen in its recent History.

I tried to request semi-protection for the page under its Discussion tab, but then realized that I was incorrectly requesting permission to post an edit to an already semi-protected article instead.

Could you please figure out what the proper procedure is if you don't already know? (I find the Help pages pretty hard to navigate sometimes.)

Thanks very much. Milkunderwood (talk) 20:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, scan of ink drawing? I'm a dummy; what's the term? Can't find mention of the artist on WP, either. Tony (talk) 11:36, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Yea, or 'pen & ink drawing'. Artist is Alfred Waud, pretty famous Civil War artist. Jujutacular talk 17:40, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
