Talk page
Welcome to Jamie's talk page!
Please add new messages to the bottom of the page. If a conversation is started here, I'll respond here; if it starts on your talk page, I'll respond there.
Contacting me
I prefer to communicate via talk pages. Please only email me if there is a good reason not to conduct a conversation on a talk page. I usually do not respond to emails unless there's a valid reason why the question could not have been posted on a talk page.
Why did you remove my external links?
If you've come here because you want to know why I removed some external links you've added, please read Misplaced Pages's policies on spam, Misplaced Pages external link guidelines and conflict-of-interest first. Because of Misplaced Pages's popularity, it has become a target for folks looking to promote their sites, which is against Misplaced Pages policies. If you read WP:SPAM and still feel that your link(s) does not violate those policies, let me know.
One common argument I hear is But so-and-so link is on that article, and it's commercial!WP:EL doesn't explicitly forbid In links to commercial sites; it depends on the notability of the link, its content, and if it's a reference or a notable pro/con argument on a controversial subject, etc. On the other hand, I think that many Wikipedians would agree that there are way too many commercial links at present time, so feel free to "prune away" if the link doesn't meet guidelines in WP:EL. Incidentally, if you've come here to complain that I've deleted links to your blog (especially a blog with advertising), don't bother. You'll have to find free advertising somewhere else. A good Google search will reveal plenty of places for that sort of thing.
Vandalism and insults left here will be recycled in the bit bucket. Remember: be nice!
Not positive that I did it right (I haven't used the whitelist that much), but my intention was to keep the subject and his minions from spamming other articles with links to his site and blog, but allow the article on the subject to retain the links. I also added both links to the blacklist. OhNoitsJamie13:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I am wondering if you would be so kind as to block 85.139.225.163. He/she keeps blanking an image added/kept based upon consensus. He/she also saw fit to engage in a personal attack on my talk page. Your help would be great. Thank you. Surv1v4l1st 17:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for wrangling the IP. BTW, we have another one - 94.173.0.101 - doing the same thing. In fact, the rationale is the same, so might be same. Just a heads up and thanks again. Surv1v4l1st 21:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I was browsing Misplaced Pages and received a link telling me that my test had been reverted or something. Thing is, there's nothing telling me exactly what happened, and I don't recall doing any tests. I sometimes correct typos and ask questions on the discussion pages, but I'm not sure exactly what I did that needed reversion. Either there's some obscure editing rule that I broke (that I'd like to know to avoid the issue in the future), or something happened that mixed up my IP with someone else's. Below is the message transcript, which directed me to your talk page.

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Several years ago, someone made a silly edit from your IP, that's all. IP addresses are sometimes shared or transferred. Nothing for you to worry about, as long as you log into your named account (TVTMaster), you won't be blamed for the misdeeds of others that might use that IP. OhNoitsJamie16:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Tao Lin spammer
i feel like something should be done administratively at this point. this person has made enough attempts to promote/spam, with edit warring included. on another note, when there is a lot of spam for something, there is often the lack of notability. i am not sure if this is the case here, exactly. do you think any of the articles involved in Tao Lin could be afd'd? e.g. Eeeee_Eee_EeeeTheserialcomma (talk) 02:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I think a strong argument could be made that his books don't need separate articles; they could easily be covered in the Tao Lin article and aren't particular notable by themselves. As for the promotional campaign, I'll just keep blocking them as I see them. OhNoitsJamie14:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
You have asked me not to leave external links to dictionary definitions, even though Wiki has 1000's. I am well aware of all Wiki policies. A dictionary definition obviously adds to'enhances any article, especially for non-native speakers of English that may have an idea of what the subject is about but would undoubtably appreciate a link to the definition. Obviously there would be no point in linking to a untrustworthy definition agregator, so the best thing is a completely free dictionary of note. It is just the two particular subjects you mentioned that you have the problem with? Shane rae (talk) 15:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Jamie. I think I have clarity here. You are saying to stay away from Google and MTV with dictionary definitions. Message received. Shane rae (talk) 15:44, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Edits
I wasn't finished editing the Attack Attack! page, yet you removed my edit 10 seconds after I posted it. The information entered was accurate. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 21:13, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Why? The lead singer says that he is pioneering the genre...
It is completely relavent and 100% in accordance with wikipedia's policies.
Give a legitament reason to remove the content, or I will contest your removal of the information as biased on your part. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 21:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
That interview makes it even more clear that it's a joke. It's not a musical genre. It's simply a mockery of their stage antics which they've chosen to embrace rather than get defensive about. OhNoitsJamie02:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
You're interpreting it to fit your opinion. If you walked up to this band and asked if they were crabcore, they would undoubtedly say they are, and that is all that matters. The public decides what genre a band fits into in the end, but in this case both the public and the band support their label as crabcore. If you really wanted to do constructive editing you would tell whoever is putting they are a Christian band in the genre section to stop, because they clearly are not Christian. 205.133.193.182 (talk) 02:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
The "Christian" revert was a mistake on my part. I read the diff wrong (I thought I was removing the label). As far as "crabcore" goes, there is no such genre as crabcore. It's a joke. The page is on my watchlist because I watched the funny mock videos of it like everyone else. Popular Internet memes invariably result in people trying to add crap about the meme/joke to Misplaced Pages. If you or others continue to do this on the article, you'll be blocked. Period. Nothing further to say. OhNoitsJamie02:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Jamie, I am resurrecting this deleted page Wizfolio. Previously you suggested that the page be deleted. I have updated the page to provide a neutral point of view with additional references from external sources and would like to invite your second opinion. Thank you Kendric Apple (talk) 07:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I see your point....so I'd probably have to nominate all of them for afd. Well, you could argue a difference between authors and actors, in that faith is more likely to impact a writer's craft than an actor's craft. I'll have to mull that one over. OhNoitsJamie00:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
You deleted my links. I'm not spamming/promoting only providing links to articles/interviews in which the selected people are featured. Please stop deleting them they are very relevant and helpful.
Thanks
Defrain77 (talk) 21:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you are spamming. See also our policy on WP:COI. If new accounts continue to canvas this link, I'm afraid I'll have to blacklist the link. I don't think your producers would appreciate that. OhNoitsJamie22:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I understand your point of view but how else would some body legitimately find out about interviews conducted. I'm just trying to provide information. and we are a non profit anyways we really don't have any interest except for providing information to the public.
...and they were not a single purpose account who's primary purpose was to canvass the links. I.e., such links are fine if they are added by established editors for a source. It's not OK to mass-canvass links as part of a promotional campaign. OhNoitsJamie23:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
How could i get in contact with an established editor to do this for me.
You don't seem to get it; that's not how it works. I mean established editors adding one more link in the course of regular editing, not going on some kind of campaign to add as many links as possible. We don't allow link canvassing, period. I don't know how many others ways there are to explain that. OhNoitsJamie23:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry that you have to explain this i don't have quite the knowledge you do. sorry for taking up your time. if you do ever have some time maybe you should look into adding some of these links because they are quite informative.
Hello Ohnoitsjamie, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to List of Catholic Actors/Actresses has been removed. It was removed by DGG with the following edit summary '(Deprodded: Categories and lists are complementary, and there is no reason not to have both.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with DGG before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to take part in the article's current AfD. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

As an admin on another wiki I'll say that there was no grounds for speedy deletion of that article it had one third party source from a publication. And an award from a site listed. That made it ineligible for the grounds upon which it was deleted. And from my understanding it could only have been deleted from a normal deletion process. Yes I know where I come from and I warned them of this. But I looked up the reasons specified in the deletion log and they are not even valid in that case. I long have viewed speed deleting without really looking at the page as bad.Matt (talk) 03:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi - just a suggestion, (and without trying to second guess you). If it does come to blocking girlofsummer, can I suggest a fairly short block? I get the feeling she genuinely doesn't understand how things work, and a temporary block might actually make her start looking at the messages she's getting. The material she's putting in, although unsourced and POVish, is hardly inflammatory, which makes me think she simply doesn't know how things work here. Her other edits are similar - no ill intent seems to be there.VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 14:52, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Heya, I was wondering what the difference is between using "bv" and "uw-vandalism#"? When certain reverting and reporting tools such as Huggle see a "bv", how do they treat it in the subsequent warnings? A "bv" template seems to be more strongly worded and better suited for blaitant vandalism, and I think I may start using it myself. Just curious if it would be beneficial or detrimental to those that warned the same user with a tool/add-on. Thanks Gpia7r (talk) 18:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure about how Huggle and bots handle it; I'd have to look into it. It's not listed in warning templates page, so it may not be understood by bots or Huggle. (I believe uw-vand4im could be used in a similar fashion, and that one is listed on the aforementioned guide). Though the wording of the template has changed over time, it's usually pretty similar to uw-vand3. I use it to nip obvious vandals in the bud faster....no need to go through 4 warning levels when someone is clearly "on a roll." I also use it for sneaky vandalism (misleading edit summaries and whatnot). OhNoitsJamie18:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
AFD: post-war Sri Lanka
Hi, it seems that you have added an AfD for the aforementioned article; I do agree that it is a PoV fork; but where is the poll? I can't find any in AfD for Sept 30 or 29. Did you miss something in the AfD procedure?
Hello, the User:74.243.218.94 is trying again to insert stuff that violates NPOV into the Taiwan article. It is the exact the same thing as before, probably one person using different IPs. If you could take care of this it would be great. T-1000 (talk) 23:39, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
Suggest me one valid reason why areapal should not be listed as article in wikipedia.Many other social networking sites are having an article and areapal is a platform for knowledge sharing among people from various universities across India.

"The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations"..
I have video of television documentary covering the website which benefits for students from India...Shall i start writing the article again?? .. But that video is hosted in youtube...

I am just looking for some more information as to why the article, steve chappell, has been deleted. I feel like the issues raised with the article had been addressed in large part. 1. This is a different steve chappell than previous deleted articles. 2. He is notable in his field, maybe in the top 3, highly respected, and 3. the copywrighted material was cited purely as a link to a book he had written, Also it was removed upon concern being raised. An elaboration of your reasoning would be nice. What can be done to reverse this decision?
Mortyten (talk) 02:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! The queue has been rather large lately, just trying to keep it under control. Most of the tags were spot on, which always helps. OhNoitsJamie13:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Deletion of my entry to the Gold page
Hello, I don't understand why you think my "Investing in Gold" entry on the Gold page was a conflict of interest. I gave a historical time line of the gold bull markets and was going to continue with a paragraph or two on how the current recession has impacted the price of gold. I do not own a mining company nor do I work for one; nor am I an equity analyst or a stock broker. Where is the conflict of interest? Please answer me at your earliest convenience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TWST48 (talk • contribs) 14:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I am not an employee of The Wall Street Transcript, sorry for the confusion. I add material from the same links because the sourced material in that paragraph comes from the same published interview. Should I just cite at the end of a paragraph rather at the end of each sentence? I am not trying to spam, just cite properly in order to ensure my entries are not deleted (ironically). Please advise.

Launch Dynamic Media is a very small digital studio, but the services are the same as those offered by the very largest agencies, which have Misplaced Pages pages. For example - http://en.wikipedia.org/Razorfish_(company) is one of countless like agencies that have pages. Launch built the first digital wayfinding system of its kind for the Smithsonian which, in my estimation, makes it a notable organization. It simply seems wrong that the largest agencies can have a presence on Misplaced Pages while the very smallest can not. I would appreciate any additional input you may have.
Sorry we just had an edit conflict on User talk:MessiniaGreece (had taken me quite a while to compose my message), and when I saw your unblock decline I chose to leave in my version rather than yours, just in the interest of being a bit less bitey. I don't know what problem that user thought he had, but I don't think they were deliberately misusing the request. Hope you don't mind. :-) Fut.Perf.☼18:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand why banned my Article about Clayster?
If you read about for example Google Android or Skype do their articles contain the same
content/inforation as I wrote in ours.
I believe it's impossible to write something about a company with promoting it, since explaining
what we does in is kind of promotion.
Not even the when I toke away everything beside what Clayster is (Clayster - Interactive Service Delivery Platform)
were it OK?
ex from Google Android. Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel.
It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.

Why did you delete my clients (Josh Dyer) wikipedia page, you described it as having little importance, but could it be that you just haven't heard of him, because around Taunton & Somerset he is making quite a name, and has hinted at a national tour, how does that not have importance, i know alot of people angry of the page being deleted, because they wanted to know more about him, just because you don't know him should not give you the right to deprive other people of information. Everything written was honest, true facts & plenty of references to back up evidence. Next time you delete a page, think, just because you don't like it, or don't understand it doesn't mean everybody feels the same as you, so stop restricting people for no good reason! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwesmudge (talk • contribs) 08:30, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi
I was correcting an incorrect category 'companies disestablished' at the bottom of the PhotoBox page and introducing links as advised by the message at the top of the page (it is an orphan). These have been removed.
- Photobox is very much in existence and is not disestablished as you contend. You will see the website is very much up and running.
- It is Europe's main photo gifts etailer hence the category.
- They are a leading photo sharing brand here as important as flickr in the UK hence the reference. I had assumed wiki was an international site not just US focused? Given everyone else is in Photo_sharing#Online_photo_sharing_websites shouldn't you list all competitors?
Actually it was all good edits. You templated him for vandalism when his edits were apt, and he admittedly overreacted when he next logged in. I warned him instead of blocking when he was up at AIV, but then you indeffed him for unclear reasons. My suggestion would be a complete unblock -- Samir00:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Actually I retract. What he said to you was rather mean. And your self-block was hilarious. Carry on then -- Samir00:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Dang, I was hoping no one noticed the self-block. I'd just gotten back from a 4 mile run and apparently wasn't thinking clearly. Thank goodness I was able to unblock myself, would've been rather embarrassing to have to use the unblock template. I see what you mean about my false-positive warning, but his reaction (to myself and others) clearly warranted a time-out. OhNoitsJamie00:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I had been thinking about that page as maybe a disambig page for two separate articles on similarly-named companies in China and Thailand. Is there enough notability from reliable sources to support that? If so, would you please userfy it? Thanks. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Userfied. I also noticed that the advert had overwritten an article that had been there since 2006 describing a Malaysian brand as well as noting that the term was also used generically for any guitar made from Kapok wood. Not sure if the Chinese company is notable enough to mention. OhNoitsJamie14:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I think this brand is very notable in China at least in mainland area. It almost the only guitar brand in china before 1979, though it is not as much popular as then. 14:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
First of all, Thank you for your warning in my talk page. There would be full of EVIDENCES If you search the keyword '红棉吉他' in the chinese edition Google. lol. But i bet you won't do that,right? so there are link below: http://www.guitarchina.com/news/news/02/20041120/164420.htm http://www.hudong.com/%E7%BA%A2%E6%A3%89%E5%90%89%E4%BB%96
Maybe you can not read it coz it's all in Chinese. but it doesn't matter. you can use the google translate it then you probably aware of how notable it was.
At the same times. I wonder why you'd like to maintain a old-wrong page about the kapok guitar in malay? no link, no evidence... nothing at all
Finally, if there is a brand named Kapok in Malay or Thailand or anywhere out of PRC, please give me an EVIDENCE. If so, I suggest start a new page like Kapok (Chinese company) etc. TKS Hans9:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC+8)
I tried to cut you a break by including info from the old article as well as mentioning the Chinese company (proof that a company exists does not prove that it's notable). If that's not good enough for you, I'll send the whole article to WP:AFD for lack of notability. OhNoitsJamie04:34, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Did you read the link which I send u before??? I would be pretty upset if the answer is negative(it mostly is true), coz it prove that you don't care about whether it's notable or not. so, I'd like you send the article to WP:AFD anyway. btw, let me know if the brand do exist in malaysia. you didn't give any evidence for it,yet. Hans15:41, 17 October 2009 (UTC+8)
Fist of all,those links I send you is the evidence can prove that it is notable, not only for existence! second, could you give me the evidence for malaysia Kapok while you continuously insist the malaysia kapok is not a advert and recover it time and times again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slyhans (talk • contribs) 06:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I was unclear. It looks like you issued a final civility warning for commenting on the fact that your username isn't grammatically correct.

Hi, I'm sure you know all the fuss about the rumors of who is going to be the new lead singer for the band, as repeated IPs continue to add unsourced and unreliable information. I put in a protection request, but I'm doubting myself now. Do you believe it is warranted? GaudiumInVeritate (talk) 21:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I justed checked today's history; semi protection seems like a good idea to me; hopefully two weeks will be good enough. OhNoitsJamie21:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Understand why you took the comment off, but it is true. So I've gone to the press again with the latest info regarding the police investigation, when it's published on line in a respectable tabloid paper then I'll re-insert the comment with the external link to prove it's true.
Recommend undelete as this band's Hall & Oates cover "Rich Girl$" has debuted on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 at #47 for the week of 24 Oct 2009 and accordingly satisfies WP:BAND notability criteria, specifically "Has had a charted single or album on any national music chart".Bdell555 (talk) 00:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
