wpcite and FF3
Hi! I found your wpcite add-on very useful under Firefox 2. Since upgrading to FF3 I can't get it to run: trying to install it from the download link on your user page tells me:
wpcite 0.1.4.4 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0.
Now I'm not afraid to tinker with code so I tried to adjust the version number in the install.rdf file, which I read is a trick that allows many add-ons to run. Indeed, this allowed wpcite to start, but on choosing the right-click menu option on any webpage I get the error:
The file jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Firefox3/chrome/browser.jar!/content/browser/null cannot be found. Please check the location and try again.
which has stumped me. I don't know much about Java and less about the workings of Firefox (VB and Perl used to be my toys). I may even have re-zipped the xpi wrongly. Is it possible you could fix it, or give me a pointer to what may be wrong, please? I'm surprised no-one else has commented about this as it's such a useful tool - can I be the only one for whom it's not working under FF3? —SMALLJIM 16:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Any feedback on this? Even if it's "I'm not interested." :-) —SMALLJIM 18:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I've given the assignment to one of my programmers. They will take care of it as soon as they have a spare moment. We're under a bunch of deadlines right now, and in fact, I had to hire another person this week to keep up with the crush. Jehochman 19:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- And there was me thinking you were just a guy doing all this for fun in his spare time! Well, many thanks for any help you or your staff can give. Best, —SMALLJIM 19:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I designed the tool and helped create a JavaScript version that can be installed in the web page (as opposed to the browser). One of my team knew how to build Firefox extensions, so I let him do that. Jehochman 19:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Your note
I will restore your comment, but it's bizarre that you would complain about one comment when you removed all of mine. Please don't continue to attack me. I have really had enough of it, as I hope you can see from my posts tonight. SlimVirgin 08:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I think you should restore the posts yourself, but please do not blank any more comments. You are involved in this, given what I've been told about your posts on the case. I haven't seen them myself, but they sound pretty unpleasant and biased. SlimVirgin 08:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe you should read the case pages yourself, rather than forming judgments second hand. Jehochman 08:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Can't I just bribe you both with a goldenchip? El_C 08:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- The conduct on that thread is bringing the project into disrepute. Chippetting may help restore good karma. Jehochman 08:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- True! The chippies are timid and easily frighten, however. El_C 08:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
She restored Dayewalker's comment, but not yours . Cla68 (talk) 10:50, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I restored mine. I feel sorry for her. Jehochman 19:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Kudos
I have to say, this edit summary was rather enjoyable... nicely done. Cheers. --Ckatzspy 17:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. My typing leaves room for improvement. I meant that we had crossed the spam event horizon. Jehochman 18:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Please reread - he's quoting someone else
JoshuaZ is quoting someone else, I think you misread it. ATren (talk) 16:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I fixed it. He should provide a diff, because I don't know what he's talking about. Jehochman 16:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, it confused me at first too. ATren (talk) 16:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- That diff was block worthy, but not five days later! Jehochman 16:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Gdewilde
You indef-blocked him (good) and he says he's left on his own (in that order of events, if I read the timestamps correctly:). Your block left open the possibility of an {{unblock}} promise to change his ways. However, he keeps popping back up to remove the block-notice from his talk page and misc combative and unreceptive (as usual) response. Do you want to (or do you mind if I) protect his talk-page? He obviously has no intent to reform anytime soon IMO. DMacks (talk) 04:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- As the blocking administrator, I would not like to protect his talk page. If he keeps gabbing endlessly, I predict that somebody else will take that step. Jehochman 13:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Confusing arbcom statement
"When no defense is possible, attack," seems to be the strategy that has been employed." Do you think perhaps you could explain to whom exactly this statement refers? Is it specific to one or more of the parties, or is it a general comment on all who are involved in this situation? Employed by whom? Right now it just stands out as a completely unsupported statement. Your clarification would be helpful for those of us following along. Thanks. Risker (talk) 13:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/SlimVirgin-Lar
A request for arbitration which you commented on has been opened, and is located here. Any evidence you wish to provide should be emailed directly to any sitting Arbitrator for circulation among the rest of the committee. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible.

Negative Spin on company page
I am concerned than someone is using http://en.wikipedia.org/Lennar to create negative spin about Lennar. Specifically, the "Controversy" section consists of inflammatory allegation and misleading information without any other details about the company, its history or the thousands of communities they have developed.
I am not sure of the protocol or how editorial decisions are made to balance negative information with other facts about the company. Clearly, every company encounters difficulties along the way, but it seems inappropriate for their wikipedia listing to consist primarily of a section highlighting these issues.
Any clarification would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.110.13.160 (talk) 18:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
