status

Welcome to my talk page Please be civil, and don't leave messages like this. If you do, it will be reverted immediately. If you're complaining about my editing, please go here. Please post a new message by clicking the "+" above or by clicking this link. If I'm offline (see top-right corner), see my list of helpful people. They'll be able to help you at an equal or higher level than me. I NORMALLY archive this page every 20-25 messages. If you'd like me to hold it a bit longer, ask me via e-mail. If you started a conversation here, I'll reply here unless you request otherwise. Use that little "watch" tab so you can see when I reply! If I start a conversation elsewhere, I'll reply there. This prevents conversations getting scattered across multiple pages. Thanks! Archives: 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6

Revert

I did explain it in the summary. Please revert your edits because the references are listed in the wrong way and need to be incorporated as in-line sources. 69.120.29.18 (talk) 22:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Those are still reliable sources. If you want, you can convert the refs to inline citations, but don't blank the section. Thanks! Jonathan 22:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

What vandalism are you talking about?

Why do you keep accusing me of vandalism? Stop making false claims!

You added a shared IP tag to another IP's talk page with no backup evidence available. That's vandalism. Jonathan 16:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I added to those because those edits were done by me from those IP addresses while I attended Schule Schloss Salem. Don't accuse me of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.153.206 (talk) 16:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

And also, why did you keep reverting my edits to Serbian constitutional referendum, 2006? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.153.206 (talk) 16:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

editing of a user pages as an unregistered user

Sorry for any inconvenience, but I got here from the Dutch wikipedia and I forgot I had to relog, since I've got an other accountname here. Though, I once mentioned Amelie poulain is my main account on my wikipedia IP-page, but appearently, my IP number changed from 83.82.46.47 to 83.82.45.72.

So, both IP-adresses are me. Amelie poulain (talk) 16:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Book of Mormon

Hi Jonathan:

I just want to give a little background info re the Book of Mormon edit that you reverted.

There is discussion in the last three sections of Talk ( Edits done by 66.251.16.100 / Recent edits to Book of Mormon article / Unverfiable content presented as history, etc ) of going back to an earlier version, because of a bunch of recent edits which were not discussed and which seem very POV to some editors, myself included.

The edit today that returned the article to a Jan 15 version was made from an IP address new to WP. Also unfortunately it had no edit note to explain the removal. I'm sure this is why you reverted.

As I say, this is just to fill you in on the situation. I expect the article will be returned to an earlier version again.

WP:TSQUAD.

Good to have you. :) Once we have a few more members, we can choose an article for collaboration. · AndonicO 21:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Your accusation of vandalism, and your repeated posting of information on a user talk page.

I've posted an explanation here of what I believe the situation is with regard to user 85.178.153.206 (talk · contribs). You posted information on the user's talk page that the IP address was a shared address and was associated with a particular school. You reverted, re-posting information about it being a shared IP address, which the user had deleted, , then posted 2 vandalism warnings that don't specify what the vandalism is: . However, I believe it was a misunderstanding and that it was not a shared IP address, as the user says it is not. The user had said that the user had done some edits from shared IP addresses; the user had not said that the address they were currently using was one of those shared IP addresses.

Incidentally, although your complaints page which you encourage people to use like a talk page asks emphatically for diffs (and still doesn't have a link to instructions on how to do diffs -- I'll put that in for you, if you don't object -- maybe you've been too busy), you didn't provide any diffs or reference to any specific page in the vandalism warnings that you posted to this user, making it more difficult for me to figure out what was going on in this situation.

Jonathan, I urge you to continue to increase the extent to which you respond to complaints, communicate with other users and try to clear up misunderstandings, remembering especially the guidelines Don't bite the newbies and Assume good faith. If I understand the situation correctly, I think an apology from you to this user would be appropriate here.

This is not the first time that, after you've posted a warning on a user's talk page, I've posted an explanation or apology on your behalf afterwards. Other examples are: Chicagofacts and Pakaru. In the latter case, the user was apparently trying to accomplish a move but was doing it by cut-and-paste. The move was eventually fixed by an admin merging the page histories. That was rather similar to the situation with Gustav Horn, Count of Pori that came up earlier. If you see someone turning a page into a redirect (or vice versa), it's better to either leave the situation alone or else give them information about how to accomplish a move correctly.

I hope you find these comments helpful. Thank you again for all the work you do correcting vandalism. --Coppertwig (talk) 23:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Questions from AO.

I hope you find the questions I added to your coaching subpage difficult. ;) · AndonicO 01:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

This semester I am teaching academic writing to a group of teachers at my school. This course starts on Monday Jan 28. I would like to know if you are still interesting in "mentoring". You can see the syllabus at Misplaced Pages:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/SyllabusIf so, please leave a message on my talk page and update the mentor's page Misplaced Pages:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors, if . If not, please remove your name and information from that page. Thanks! Thelmadatter (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Signpost tutorial series on Portals

Hi Jonathan. You are currently signed to write a tutorial on Portals for Enochlau's Signpost tutorial series. Having worked with a lot of portals, and having contributed to a few featured ones as well, I was wondering if you would allow me to write a tutorial in place of you. If you still want to do it, that's fine, just a thought. Cheers, Spebi 06:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Go for it! :) Jonathan 19:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

UW Sports

Not vandalism! -UWMSports (talk) 21:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I would tend to agree - I think this user may not be right about the stylistic changes being made, but I don't think it's fair to just revert/warn those edits... (ESkog) 21:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry...I meant to click the "next suspect edit" button, but accidentally hit the rollback button. Sorry!!!! Jonathan 21:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Respectful correction

Dear Johnathan,

thank you for your friendly guidance; in order to reciprocate, I feel I owe you an explanation: My recent alteration was in no way an attempt at vandalism or misguided sandplay, as it were; I felt that given the limited size of the "Ferrer (surname)" entry, it wold actually be more beneficial to users if it were reinstated to its original position, i.e. s.v. "Ferrer", whence it was transformed into a separate subpage in December, 2007. I still believe reinserting the information under "Ferrer" would be beneficial; naturally, however, I bow to your experience, if you continue to maintain that its present position is preferable.

Kind regards,

StuartStewart
