I would just like to let you know that it was Kat Walsh who made that username, and I'm fairly certain she knows policy. In case you werent aware, I'm pretty sure the reason the name was created, along with several others, was in response to the current controversy over WP:SLG. I dont know if its correct for me to mention this, but I just thought I'd let you know. I   06:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Understandable. I agree that the issue is probably what caused this current one with the new guy, but at the same time, it does go against username policy of being too similar to an existing name. But I do thank you for the info :). Jmlk17 06:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Heh. They're not mine; I'm creating them on request for test accounts. Ask the owner of the username what they're for. :-) Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 06:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It seems to just be a bigger issue than it needs to be. Jmlk17 06:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

What is your problem?

What is your problemwith the festival of Plagiarism? I have been doing work on something which has existed invarious forms for nearly twenty years, which 1,930 hits on google and yet you call this nonsense and have evenput protectiononthe page? I would be grateful if you could inform me of your reasons for this behaviour?Harrypotter 12:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't have a problem per se, other than the page was a short, unsourced stub with an unfree image, and said little to nothing about anything in particular. Jmlk17 17:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me? 2

I'm going to re-start the conversation here since it has been archived. Anyway, why did Bertuzzi sign with Anaheim? Probably because they just won the Stanley Cup and he figures they may repeat. Though I'm not sure how well the Ducks are going to do this season, depending on if certain players decide to retire or not (which I've heard Niedermayer is definitely going to do, not sure about Selanne). Most teams have seemed to neither improved nor worsen. Flyers may have improved a bit after posting a horrible record this past season, not that I mind the Flyers being a bad team....but the rivalry (Devils-Flyers rivalry) is much more exciting when one team isn't doing badly. Haha. Bsroiaadn 17:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Eh, I like the moves personally. I'm not a fan of Bertuzzi (essentially stemming from his attempt to kill Steve Moore a few years ago and got away clean), but he is not that bad of a player still. He just wants a Cup, and seems to think Anaheim has the best chance for this coming season. The Flyers improved drastically, but I think the true powerhouse in the East in going to be the Rangers. I mean, Lundqvist is a great goalie, still up and coming, and they made it to the semi's last year with the squad they had. Then they went and signed Gomez and Drury...just enough power to boost them into the Eastern Elite, in my opinion. But hey, the West in always the best ;). Jmlk17 17:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, keep forgetting to check here. Haha. Anyway, I'm skeptical about how well Gomez will do this year, the last time a Devils went to the Rangers (Bobby Holik a couple years ago) he ended up doing pretty badly. The Rangers will definitely be one of the teams to beat this year, but I have confidence in the Devils getting over the hurdle of losing Gomez, just like they've done when they lost Scott Niedermayer. Rafalski is the one I actually think they may have trouble getting over, but we'll see. If the Devil's didn't pass every time they had a good goal opportunity, maybe they'd score more, that's one thing that gets me angry...they sit there for 5 minutes in the other teams end...just passing...then they wonder why it gets taken away. They really need to start looking for a new goalie, though...Martin Brodeur is starting to get up there...he already plays way more games than other goalies do, he's going to get worn out before most would, probably. The Rangers have another thing going for them, too....Sean Avery, some people hate him so much that they focus more on hurting him than they do on the actual game...that can be a big asset. That's one thing more teams need, a player like Sean Avery or Scott Stevens, a player you love to play with...but hate to play against. And the West is the best? Puh-lease, the East would beat the West so badly if the right players are picked. :-P Bsroiaadn 23:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hey buddy, just touching base. I've been up to the usual routine. Since anti-vandalism seems to be pretty well covered tonight, I've locked myself inside my sandbox to write a history section for Cirque Du Soleil. I had a little bit of downtime yesterday but no access to Wi-Fi, so I read through about forty past RfA's that I had saved on my harddrive, mostly just so I could get a feel for what things tend to generate support !votes and what things tend to generate !oppose votes. The only major issue that I've seen is my long break at the beginning of the year and my (relative) lack of work in mainspace. I mean, I've written a couple decent sized articles and I'm reworking one now, but there are those people that have (i feel) unrealistic expectations toward mainspace contributions by RfA candidates. These are just my views which may or may not reside totally within the realm of me talking out my ass. However, I just figured I would get your thoughts on them. Let me know if there are any other areas that I should be focusing my attention on.

Not that I will :), I have very strong feelings about diverting my resources away from a job as important as vandalism mitigation for political reasons, I'd just like to know. I will be around for at least another few hours, have a good night. Trusilver 05:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey hey...all's well here, other than the insane heat of Colorado lol. Glad you're checking in! In regards to your concern, I have to say one thing: there are numerous admins who helped base their Rfa and editing skills on the fact that they created "x" number of good articles, or helped "x" number of articles go to featured or whatever; I have created perhaps 3 dozen articles. None of those are featured, good, or even anything. They are almost all redirects that I have just come upon. I never did much article-building or anything, but rather, have just edited what I have found interesting. Maybe add a source here, copyedit a bit here, talk a little over there, etc. I agree that there is an unnecessarily high lofty standard at times for Rfa "qualifications", especially in regards to Mainspace edits. I must admit, I myself have opposed Rfa's for a lack of mainspace edits, but you have (as of this writing) 3,296. I mean honestly, who can argue with that? There is a current Rfa for EliminatorJR, with half as many as you, and I am so far, the only non-supporting voter. I wouldn't be worried about it whatsoever. You are an exceedingly strong vandal-fighter, as well as a good overall editor. I honestly think that the only issue standing between you and a successful Rfa is just the passage of time. You have only gotten heavily involved in the last couple of months (I can relate, as I took some much-needed time off as well). Keep up exactly what you are doing, and all will be well! :). I hope this help and helps answer your questions; I'm a bit busier in real life lately, so I may be a little delayed in responding to you at times, so I apologize in advance. Jmlk17 00:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh... don't complain about heat. At least not until you have spent a day sitting on my back patio in the Southern California desert enjoying a nice 120 degree day. It's not hot unless you have a chance of spontaneously combusting when you walk outside :) Trusilver 01:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol indeed. Just not all that used to it! Jmlk17 02:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Kersopoulus performances - Blazaki

FYI User Blazaki is reinserting the Kertsopoulus spam links to youtube promo-videos of Kersopoulus performances into music/guitar articles. I suspect they are one and the same identity as I note from contribs that when one stopped edits for a day or two the other then took up the task. RichardJ Christie 09:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk 20:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for the kind note. Per Giggy's comment, I will wait until the end of the day before deciding on what to do next. Cheers, --Aarktica 04:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

re. Star

You're far too kind. *blush*

Giggy _UP has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Thank you!!! Jmlk17 04:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Aaaww, I even got italics. That made my day :P Giggy _UP 04:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Only the best for my Australian friends! :) Jmlk17 04:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You only wish you were one of us. Is that why you gave me this star, to steal my accent? Eh? EH?! Giggy _UP 04:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol! At least you guys have nice sounding accents. I get crap whenever I travel! I do suppose that a midwestern American accent can't be that nice to all ears though :). Jmlk17 04:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the secret to developing a sexy accent like mine is quite simply really. Leave messages on my talk page instead of yours. That produces the new messages bar, and we all agree on the sexiness of that. Producing sexiness = Developing sexiness...it's like working with complex numbers. It just makes sense. Giggy is currently in maths class, and is bored, and is ahead of everyone... Giggy _UP 04:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Well crap...looks like I have a lot to learn!!! Jmlk17 04:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

My Editor Review

Hello! As I have run into you on Misplaced Pages, I was wondering if you would be willing to comment in my editor review. I know you are probably busy with other contributions to the project, but I would greatly appreciate any comments or criticism that you have that could make me a better editor! Thanks very much for your time and consideration, bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 13:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Just following up on my previous comment, still hoping you would have time to review me. It has been nearly a week now since I put up my review, and I still have not gotten much feedback. I would really like to know how I'm doing from many points of view, to help figure out the quality of my work so far and how to improve it in the future. I'm sure you are busy, but if you could just drop me a note letting me know whether or not you'll be able to do it, that would be terrific. Thank you so much for your time. Best regards, bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 02:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hello there Jmlk17. Just wanted to drop by and say hi. I noticed you give out a lot of barnstars. Are you part of the WP:KC? --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 14:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Not currently. I just like interacting with others around here, and a great way to do so is to give someone who deserves it a barnstar :). Jmlk17 17:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

As I just siad to someone else...

Keep up the good work. The only problem is that that is the name of a band. Up to you. Anywho, way for the notice to work! Keegan 06:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! :) Jmlk17 06:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Please review what you just reverted

Thanks.--71.141.113.17 06:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Uhm, okay? Jmlk17 06:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Piaggio

On the Piaggio page:

06:47, 24 July 2007 Jmlk17 (Talk | contribs) m (8,035 bytes) (Reverted good faith edits by 84.9.33.143; No need.. using TW)

Not sure why this edit was reverted. Why "no need"? Piaggio SpA is a public company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, it went public on the Milan stock exchange in 2006. You've reverted it back to its incorrect status as Private. Have I broken some guideline somewhere? Cheers. 84.9.33.143 07:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

My bad :). Jmlk17 07:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

gahh help is required

hey mate I have two quick questions. In my wikibox on my userpage, the row sixth down from the top is bigger than all the rest and I was wondering if you knew why. Also, I was wondering if there was an easy way of counting all of my edits without counting them one by one. --MKnight9989 13:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey buddy. I took a look at your userpage, and (at least for me on my laptop), it looks fine. Not sure if it's a difference between resolution or something of the sort. Also, there's a nice edit counter called wannabe kate that a bunch of people use around here for edit counting. Hope this helps man! Jmlk17 21:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

If you say it looks fine, I'll believe you. Thanks for the link to the edit counter!!! --MKnight9989 12:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hah! Thanks for catching that. I read over that about ten times before posting it and still managed to make a spelling error. Trusilver 03:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol sure! Just caught my eye :). Jmlk17 03:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Derren Brown vandalism

Is there any way to block the guy repeatedly vandalizing the Derren Brown page? His/Her statements have lawsuit written all over them. Unfortunately, Brown's new show makes its US debut tonight (June 26 EST) so the article may have to be temporarily semi protected to prevent recurrences. Quenn 03:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Already done. If more issue(s) arise, please file a request at requests for page protection. Jmlk17 03:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

FSTA

Why did you delete the Fantasy Sports Trade Association entry? I read the deletion log and it's not clear why it was deleted.

It's a legitimate organization that's frequently in the news. I'd like to re-create the page and add supportive sources and links. FantasyHistory 06:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Unusual Adoption Request

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Misplaced Pages as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Misplaced Pages and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Misplaced Pages work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.

Thank you!

Thelmadatter 20:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

I would love to, but I am obscenely busy at the moment. I am going to be online rarer and rarer, and I don't want to commit to something I can't follow through on. But best of luck! Jmlk17 22:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Have a few minutes?

I'm working on an article and could use someone to just look it over and give me any opinions that come to mind. If you get a few minutes, take a look at the History subsection of the article in my sandbox. I'm specifically looking for tone and NPOV. Thanks! Trusilver 02:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I was able to read over the history section, and must say I like what I see. You are working on a great section of a great article, and doing nothing but helping to improve it! Keep it up! Jmlk17 22:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to add your thoughts to the discussion at my recent Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Angus Lepper RfA, which failed, with no consensus to promote me. However, I appreciate the concerns raised during the course of the discussion (most notably, a lack of experience, particularly in admin-heavy areas such as XfDs and policy discussions) and will attempt to address these before possibly standing again in several months time. Angus Lepper 16:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

		My RFA
		User:TenPoundHammer and his romp of Misplaced Pages-editing otters thank you for participating in Hammer's failed request for adminship, and for the helpful tips given to Hammer for his and his otters' next run at gaining the key. Also, Hammer has talked to the otters, and from now on they promise not to leave fish guts and clamshells on the Articles for Deletion pages anymore. Ten Pound Hammer • 17:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Admin coaching request

Hi, I'm GorillaWarfare and am hoping to receive some coaching to become an admin. If you'd like to coach me, please leave a message on my talk page. You can see my edit count here but don't be surprised when you see that I have 25 edits. That is because I recently forgot the password to my old account, User:Theunicyclegirl. Here is my edit count from my old account. I almost have 2000 edits. I frequently revert vandalism by watching Lupin's filtered RCs. I also like to expand stubs, particularly those relating to cats or dogs. I am very good with user warning templates and speedy deletion templates. I sometimes respond on AFD. Thanks for considering me! --GorillaWarfare 17:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey buddy. Sorry, but I am very busy at the moment, and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Please check out the available coaches, and hopefully one will be open for ya! Jmlk17 21:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you are retarded :P

Don't worry, at this rate I'll be an admin before you know it :P Giggy _UP 22:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
