Welcome back

I'm pleased to see you editing again, Jayjg.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 03:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

And a welcome back from me too! I wasn't sure if we'd see you back or not. (You're anything but predictable!) I hope you stick around for a bit. All the best, – Quadell 12:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back!!! Very happy to see you editing again! I tried to reply to some of the people posting here while you were gone, mostly just telling them you hadn't edited for a period of time. --Coppertwig (talk) 14:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back from me as well - it's good to have you editing again. :) Daniel/_T+ 14:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• Welcome back Jayjg! I hope you've enjoyed your break and I really hope you decide to stay around a bit - you've been missed. Ryan Postlethwaite 21:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Wlecome back Jayjg! I'm one of those people who didn't know you had been back for a while now, until I happened to see a recent edit of yours. good to have you back. please feel free to write. I'm sure we'll be in touch in many various places. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 20:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

That explains a lot!

I was kind of surprised that you didn't say anything (one way or another) now I know why! Anyway, welcome back.Balloonman (talk) 06:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay

Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been busy elsewhere. Do you still need assistance at the Ebionites article? Jayjg 03:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back! No, the Ebionites issue is closed. The article was demoted in FAR, and the editor that caused the problems was given editing restrictions for one year by ArbCom. I'm disappointed that ArbCom declined to address the larger issue of misleading and fraudulent content, but they chose the easier path of sanctioning sustained edit-warring. Loremaster and I have permanently left the Ebionites article, so it's up to some new editors to pick up the pieces. Ovadyah (talk) 15:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back

Hi Jayjg. Nice to see you back. Question: How did you make 15 edits to 15 distinct talk pages at 03:12 on 13 December 2007? It's amazing! An average of 4 seconds per edit! How do you do it? Tiamut 01:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

That's why the ladies call him Magic Fingers. :-D – Quadell 02:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Long as they don't call him late for dinner. ;) IronDuke 02:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Just saw your name appear in my watchlist. Yes, welcome back. Acalamari 04:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back Jayjg; I really missed you. Itzse (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

What, you don't write you don't call??

Holy sh--, it's like seeing a ghost! A tanned, fit, well-rested ghost, to be sure, editing like a...like a..., well, like a ...bot? What the heck is this – thirty-one edits in two minutes from 3:12 to 3:14 on the 13th, then a 24-hour pause to resume at 3:15 on the 14th? This is some spooky sh--. You better not be some robo-droid that's body-snatched my #1 heartthrob or I swear I'll be goin' all bladerunner on your ass. Don't think I won't be able to tell. If you take a consistent position on WP:NOR for three consecutive edits for example I'm'a suspect you're a replicant.

Big smooch – see you in the ring – grrrr – welcome back Jay!--G-Dett (talk) 22:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: the email

Hi Jayjg, This is why:

cheers, nat.utoronto 02:56, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

David Irving is British (not that I want to claim him)

I noticed your recent edit to David Irving objecting to previous edits which you saw as switching from American to British English. Can I point out that WP:ENGVAR indicates that articles should use the variety of English appropriate to their subject. However, the an h-word construction is pedantic even on this side of the Atlantic.

And welcome back.--Peter cohen (talk) 13:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I think Talk:Houston Stewart Chamberlain may be the sort of discussion which would attract your interest.--Peter cohen (talk) 12:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.--Peter cohen (talk) 15:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

An thanks for looking in at Chamberlain. I thought it would be the sort of page that you would be interested in.--Peter cohen (talk) 13:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:138.39.7.3

Hey, there. Back in July, you blocked this one after they ignored several notices about WP:MOSDATE, and continued swapping date formats. I see it was a problem on several dates. There's currently an unblock request on the page, someone claiming it's a shared IP. Noticed you blocked indefinitely, which seems a bit unusual. Any comment or thoughts on the current unblock request would be appreciated. – Luna Santin (talk) 19:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

That's all well and good, but I'm sure you're aware that IP addresses are almost never indefinitely blocked (see Misplaced Pages:Blocking IP addresses#Block lengths if you need to refresh your memory). In this case, the IP has been blocked for over half a year. I think we can reasonably afford to unblock and see if they keep at it; easy enough to reblock if they do, in any case. – Luna Santin (talk) 03:23, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I've unblocked the IP with a caveat. The varied, very sporadic editing pattern seems consistent with a multi-user environment such as a workplace proxy (most likely the Delmarva Power and Light Company), and the user was only warned five times sporadically over the course of over a year before this block, which was also the first ever. There's no question that the IP's edits were disruptive, but indefinite block on an IP address as the very first move over a content dispute seems very excessive when preventative blocks of increasing duration would most likely do the job. If this IP becomes problematic again, feel free to re-block of course, but please keep the spirit of our blocking policy in mind. --krimpet✽ 06:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds fair. I'll check back in periodically. Should hope it's clear to them that they're on thin ice. – Luna Santin (talk) 09:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Anti-Arabism

Hey, so the controversy over at Talk:Anti-Arabism seems to have died down fortunately. However, I noticed you removed banned user Alberuni's comments (struckthru by IronDuke) from the talk page. In the edit summary, you mentioned that it was done as a matter of wiki policy and Widepants took issue with that and reproduced the content. Due to the "messiness" by which the content was reproduced, I reverted back to the talk page prior to your sanitization. I tried to find the policy referring to removing talk page content of banned users, but was unable to do so. If the policy is clear, it'd help keep the peace by providing a link to where it is expressly written. I recognize that you're an administrator and don't doubt that such a policy exists, I'm just looking for some clarity on the matter. Thanks a lot. - CheshireKatz (talk) 21:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Subsequently, I've noticed that Widepants appears to be in a cross-article edit war with IronDuke on the userpage of Amaliq, another participant in the controversial ongoing debate on Talk:Anti-Arabism. Suffice it to say this is getting complicated. Both Amaliq & Widepants accounts have been created within the past couple months, although they are both clearly well-informed of wikipedia's policies. As this is a common trait of Sockpuppetry & single-purpose accounts, I was hoping you could weigh in at Talk:Anti-Arabism, a dialogue that I'd genuinely like to see stabilized. - CheshireKatz (talk) 21:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I could really use some help in Talk:Anti-Arabism. Please stick your head in if you get a chance. - CheshireKatz (talk) 04:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I completely sympathize. If you know of any administrators that would be interested in the topic, let me know. Thanks. - CheshireKatz (talk) 03:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Ha, yeah, fallout from the edit war. Thanks for the heads up. I'm gettin' on it now. - CheshireKatz (talk) 04:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Images

Hi Jay, I've had a problem with my folders on my computer and I can no longer vouch for some of images I have uploaded, apparently some non-free images are in there. I would like to delete them but I cant. Can I give you a list of the suspect images so that you can delete them? Lobojo (talk) 03:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bloomfield stadium crowdpic.JPG, Image:Wolpopic.jpg, Image:Queen's parade.jpg,Image:Chabadpolitics.jpg

Thankyou for turning those links red for me! I will be more careful in future, this whole GFDL thing is very obscure. Lobojo (talk) 03:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Chamberlain - why?

Hello Jay. I am sorry I cannot give you a quick answer to your very excellent question: "why is this information being repressed?". Some clues (and the source of the absurd wording) lie somewhere in the depths of the preceding discussion. It also has something to do with curious (to my mind) interpretations of what constitutes "legitimate source", "historical consensus" and "encyclopedic content" and, as always, the unpredictable, occasionally emotional dynamics of editorial interactions. Not much help, I know, but as there remains some as-yet-unresolved controversy surrounding the page, any input or monitoring or suggestions you might provide for moving forward would be very welcome. Thanks, Eliezg (talk) 03:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

It is good to see you are contributing again. Could you provide me with some advice regarding this issue: ?--Agha Nader (talk) 21:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back

Jewish Saudi Arabian history

Hi Jay: Well I am still rubbing my eyes in disbelief. I hope your return presence will be a great one. I for one have missed you a lot. May H-shem grant you the strength, patience and endurance to keep on contributing to this noteworthy and important project in the history of humanity's quest for accesible knowldge with the means to access it in an easy and usable fashion. Having said that, I see that you are busy, but would you take a moment to take a look at the discussion at Category talk:Jewish Saudi Arabian history. Thanks a lot. IZAK (talk) 11:20, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Wiki Wiffle Bat Award

Dear Jay: I have awarded you the Wiki Wiffle Bat award in recognition of your efforts to defend Misplaced Pages. You have been added to the pantheon at Misplaced Pages:Other awards/Wiffle. Congratulations and keep on going strong! IZAK (talk) 11:43, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Help with double redirect

Hi Jay. Could you please help to sort out a double redirect tangle. I tried to move German occupation of France during World War II but I made a spelling mistake and moved it to Occupation of France by Nazi germany when it should be Occupation of France by Nazi Germany. The talk pages need fixing as well. Thanks for helping me out with this. IZAK (talk) 11:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

It does still need to be fixed. The content is currently at Occupation of France by Nazi Germany, but most of the page history is at Occupation of France by Nazi germany, if I'm not mistaken. --Coppertwig (talk) 15:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of leaving a request to fix this at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves. --Coppertwig (talk) 14:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

This has been fixed by User:Agathoclea, who merged the page histories. --Coppertwig (talk) 13:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Jayjg, for the kind, courteous messages (1, 2) you've left for me on my talk page. This seems to have been fixed, so no worries. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

zombietime

The material you added to that article uses the pronoun "he", but elsewhere the article says that we don't know whether Zombietime is a he or a she... AnonMoos (talk) 08:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

can you help?

Please respond to Bikinibomb's comments about figs and Judaism (and, at this point, about Shirahadasha and other Jewish editors active on the page) here?

It applies to the article for which the link provided is the talk page, i.e. this. Someone wanted to add "fig" or "fig tree" to the glossary, claiming that it is a notable and important symbol for Christians. Someone wanted to add that it is a notable and important symbol for Jews. Perhaps you should read the discussion and draw your own conclusions.

However, if you want my summary of the discussion, here it is: When several other editors commented on the talk page that it is not an important symbol of Jews, Bikinibomb replied that (1) these Jewish editors are secular atheists and do not have the right to speak for religious Jews, (2) these Jewish editors are violating WP:NOR because they have no verifiable sources for their claims, whereas Bikinibomb has provided multiple sources - the first one on 17:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC), which is a post at the very top of this section of the talk page (3RR), but then in his 20:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC) post to the talk page, and (3) these Jewish editors are trying to embarass Judaism by making it look like Jews do not know their own religion. Bikinibomb by the way has stated that he is not Jewish. In the past 24 hours several Jewish editors have responded but he persists in his claims. My hope is that you can provide for him a more compelling argument or proof, but minimally, I think we need to show that there is a consensus among Jewish editors that his claims about Jewish beliefs are wrong. (assuming you agree with me that he is wrong, either in his specific claims about figs, or his more general claims about Jewish sources, or Judaism) (of course, even if you do not agree with me, I would welcome your comments/thoughts concerning the discussion if you have any!!) Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 15:20, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Input with Saudi Arabian Jewish history

Hi Jay, hope all goes well. Maybe you can help improve the History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia article. It links to smaller articles about Jewish tribes in the areas of present-day Saudi Arabia, such as Banu Awf, Banu Harith, Banu Jusham, Banu Najjar, Banu Sa'ida, Banu Shutayba and they all cited sources. Now User:Bless sins is requesting "sources" for the same information about the tribes in the History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia article, as well as making other requests for sources and whatnot. (If you like, and have a minute or two, see the discussions that have been taking place at Category talk:Jewish Saudi Arabian history.) Please help out in the History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia article. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 14:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Anti-French sentiment in the United States

Hi, you fully protected this article over 4 months ago. Is it now OK to reduce or lift the protection? WjBscribe 01:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Its a long time for full protection. Edit warring might resume or people might have lost interest - hard to tell without giving unprotection a go. The article could always be protected again. I suspect that feelings on the subject are now less strong but I could be wrong. WjBscribe 03:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Missing archives?

FYI. Jay, I noticed all the archived talk pages are missing from Talk:Nazarene (sect). Was this intentional or a result of changing the article name? I also noticed that the article is notably more "Pauline" as a result of some edits by new editor who is a self-described "Nazarene". see diff Time to get out the editorial Roto-Rooter? Ovadyah (talk) 23:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently they were mistakenly deleted. The pages were named Talk:Nazarene Archive1 Talk: Nazarene Archive2 Talk:Nazarene Archive3. I suggest undeleting them and then renaming them to Talk:Nazarene (sect)/Archive 1 Talk:Nazarene (sect)/Archive 2 Talk:Nazarene (sect)/Archive 3. I think one reason they were deleted is that there was no slash "/" in the pagename. The names I suggest are standard at Template:archive box collapsible (in case it's ever desired to use that), and I've added links to them at Talk:Nazarene (sect) in anticipation of such renaming. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the links. I've taken care of the disputed content. Ovadyah (talk) 03:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind that I'm watching your talk page. I started watching when I posted a (misguided) complaint against you in August and was waiting for a reply. A few days later I realized my complaint was unfounded and struck it out, but for some reason never hit that "unwatch" button. I've been learning interesting things about Misplaced Pages here. I hope I'm not intruding when I occasionally jump into a conversation. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

(A lurker jumps in.) Both Firefox and IE7 have a "tabbed browsing" ability. You can open several tabs at once, make changes on each of them, and then, once you're satisfied, save each in a row (within seconds of each other). I do this a lot when I make repetitive changes. I don't know whether this is what Jayjg does or not, but if you want to "replicate the magic", that's how you can do it. All the best, – Quadell 13:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Stock Market Predictions at January 2008 stock market downturn

I think a respected administrator should look at the above article. I think it's horrible, and has been horrible throughout its 4 day life. It's essentially been saying that there is a stock market crash going on - but actually the market has been up over the period covered. The article is linked to the front page, under current events.

Many people on the talk page have said it should be deleted, but the usual deletion process would take too long on this news story. I'm starting to get angry, so I'll request that calmer eyes take a look at it.

Smallbones (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. The immediate problem is over. The article is renamed January 2008 stock market volatility which is accurate. Article still needs some work, but...

More of a concern to me is how to prevent this type of thing from happening again. The market was indeed volatile, and some nomially reliable sources used the word "crash." Nevertheless, the Dow never closed lower than 1.6% down for the week (ended up positive). Compare that to the 1987 crash, minus 24% in a day, or the 1929 crash, -40% in 3 months - not even close. My concern is that WP was writing innaccurate market commentary (rather than an encyclopedia article) which might tend to panic some of our readers - and even cause them to lose a lot of money. And ITN was linking this to the main page. Is there a clear policy that could have stopped this right away? Is there a place to suggest a clear policy that would stop this right away? Thanks for any suggestions. Smallbones (talk) 04:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Protection of Arab citizens of Israel

Hello, Jayjg.

I think the time has come to unprotect Arab citizens of Israel. It has been protected for more than a month. There has also been no new posting on the issue of the infobox (which, I believe was the source of controversy) for the past almost two weeks. What are your thoughts? Screen stalker (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it took me so long to respond. The article appears to have been unprotected; can I help in some other way? Jayjg 02:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

		Thanks for participating in my RfA!
		Although it failed 43/27/0, I'm happy because the outcome has been very helpful in many meaningful ways. Moreover your input alerted me to your understandable concerns about the use of overly ambiguous edit summaries on potentially volatile and controversial edits. I don't jump into such edits all that often but it does happen and I realize doing so can make a big (and sometimes wholly unintended) impression. Further, I'd like you to know I'll take heed and carefully address each concern expressed during my RfA. All the best, Gwen Gale (talk) 05:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Some attention and input, as well as some discussion, would be welcome regarding: Zionist hunter (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Zionist hunter); Category:The Nakba (deletion discussion); Category:Israeli war crimes (deletion discussion); and his creation of Daniel Machover and contributions to Doron Almog; Sabra and Shatila massacre‎ and Qibya massacre‎.

.: RFA thanks :.

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout! Cheers! Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 17:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

RfC on Weiss/Bagley dispute

I'm drafting a "community" RfC on the Weiss/Bagley dispute that has taken place over the last two years in Misplaced Pages. The goal is to open the entire episode to discussion so that the community can learn from what happened and hopefully put the entire chapter in the past. Since you were heavily involved at one point in the issue, I'd like to invite you to participate in constructing the RfC, which I have started in draft form here. Since some oversight actions took place at certain times during the episode, your input would be especially helpful because you would be able to add the dates that oversight actions took place and who did them. Thank you. Cla68 (talk) 13:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
