Speedy deletion declined: DJ Official

Hello Shadowjams. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of DJ Official, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Signed to a label with an article is a credible assertion of notability for A7. PROD or take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK  19:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I tagged that as it is. I didn't tag it. Eekster did. I just restored the speedy template removed by what the original poster. Shadowjams (talk) 01:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

2014 in spaceflight

i am going to remove the prod and do an AFD. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd prefer you don't. Do you have any particular reason? It's a pretty uncontroversial prod and it's been endorsed. Not to mention we're halfway through the prod period. If you need too I guess it's not too late in the game for me to be that bothered, but I just don't think it's necessary to take the time. But if you have reasons go ahead; no hard feelings. Shadowjams (talk) 04:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I already made the move. Feel free to express your opinion at the AFD. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

How can I help? Shadowjams (talk) 00:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you have been VERY helpful. Thanks so much for the tips and Wiki instructions. Should I have occasion to be involved with future edits or additions, I feel like I'll be much better prepared.

Thanks again.

No problem. Shadowjams (talk) 05:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Tom Hyde AfD

Perhaps you could read a little more about his accomplishments, and possibly re-consider your position. You said that you based it on his having "not been president of the ACA, just a council." But, he WAS Secretary-general of one of the TWO Recognized WORLD governing bodies. The FICS has been determined to be "notable". And, many times, secretaries-general have more power than presidents._{СДжП,ДС} 18:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I like to keep these discussions on the AfD pages so they're more widely accessible. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

why do you revert my edit?

i was only spreading the truth about Botswana, my motherland of all motherlands and telling the truth about the namibians and they blood crunchy thirsty nazi ways, why did you delete my truth? i know it was a little too harsh i just want to spread info on my country Namibia. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Right. By changing links to "hitler town". Ok. Shadowjams (talk) 09:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

i just said that because they were owned by germany which is nazi. im sorry for doing that but i hate namibia. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

The Nazi's had an unfortunate habit of acquiring quite a few countries for a while there. I gather you think that's a bad thing, so I guess on that point we're getting somewhere. In any case, you're obviously a smart guy (girl?), I would like it if you'd turn your attention towards building up some parts of the encyclopedia. We could use you help. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 09:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

okay ill be good now. what can i edit. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Good question. You could try Misplaced Pages:Cleanup, if you go just a little bit down the page there are category listings of pages that have problems. Pick the category you like (cleanup being the most generic), and then have at it. There are way too many. If you've got any questions let me know. I'll throw you one of those welcome templates that have a lot of links on them (if you don't already have one). Shadowjams (talk) 09:33, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Your revisions to Chamber music

Thank you for your minor corrections to Chamber music. Almost all these changes were fine. You did, however, change two things which were direct quotes. Louis Spohr called his quartets "quatuor brillant" and not "brilliant". And Terry Riley really did say "in order to" and not just "to".

In the future, please do not make editorial changes in direct quotes, unless you know that they have been transcribed incorrectly (by checking the original source).

Thanks, --Ravpapa (talk) 10:18, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Nice catch. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 10:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Birthdays

Sally Martin from Power Rangers Ninja Storm was born 1985 IMDB and Tv.com say 1985 07:42, 14 January 2010 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.21.27 (talk)

Yeah I saw your summary. I've left that alone because you explained it. IMDB can sometimes have erroneous information, so I"m told, but unless someone else has other info then I won't change it... I just am on the lookout for unexplained changes like that. Thanks for explaining. Shadowjams (talk) 07:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

The "Data dictionary" page

I just made a minor change to the Data dictionary page, yet, increadibly you backed it out within 30 seconds with the comment: "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content". The change I made was to say that the "Data dictionary" is commonly also known as a "metadata repository", and, in fact, the metadata page says the same thing. So, in a sense, I was simply cross referencing the two terms.

I find it offensive that you backed out my change so rapidly, withourt a moment's thought - perhaps you have done it via a robot???

My change was so small and so trivial, and self-evident, that I felt there was no need to first enter into a discussion.

On this page you say you are a new contributor. ok so am I. However, I question your expertise on the subject of "Data dictionary" - if you claim to be an expert let me assure you that you have demonstrated you are not, and if you are not an expert then you should not meddle with things you know nothing about.

Finally, I thought that Misplaced Pages welcomes contributions from all people. Luciano Q. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.11.151 (talk) 10:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bernie Miklasz. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Shadowjams (talk) 05:11, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

You have it backwards, it is the other person who keeps undoing my edits. My edits should stand while the other user goes to dispute resolution should he want to do so. I was discussing my edits with him on his talk page while that person continued to reverse my edits, showing lack of good faith.
