School VfD's
editHi, I've noticed that you've voted to delete a number of articles on elementary schools and the like. Can I get you to take a moment and refocus you energies? Take a gander at Category:sitcoms, this entire category is filled with articles on un-encyclopaedic trivia and grunge about non-noteworthy TV shows. Surely some Joe Blow Middleschool with an enrollment of 50 in the middle of Sticksville Arizona is more noteworthy of a WP writeup than some dorky TV show? I mean, sure, TV is fun, but its not important. Schools are important, they're the machinery that turn children into adults. These children are going to be maintaining WP long after you and I are dead of old age; why dis them and the people who teach them? If you want a hunting ground for non-notable junk on WP that needs a decent VfD, just start by VfD'ing Gilligan's Island, and go from there. linas 20:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, Saw your reply. So what if schools are a "dime a dozen"? So are TV shows. If you literally are comparing the monetary budgets of schools to the budgets of TV shows, I think TV shows are cheaper to produce; TV show budgets run in the millions of dollars. If you are talking about time, then if one million people watch one TV show for one hour, that's a million hours. If you have a shool which enrolls 100 students a year for 10 years, and each student takes 5 hours of classes a day for 200 days a year, that's a million hours of schooling. So in terms of raw hours of a human lifetime devoted to that thing, even teeny-weeny little schools are a match for many TV shows. Schools and teachers have a bigger impact on popular culture than any TV show could ever hope to have. As to confusing "notable" and "important"; if something is important, then it is by definition notable, right? linas 20:39, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

- Naively, the answers are "yes", "yes", and "yes". There's a huge database of geneological info at the Church of the Later Day Saints. But I'm not really into geneology that much. linas 21:00, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
OK, so given that we were originally talking about VfD's, I assume this was supposed to be a sarcastic or rhetorical question? And that remark about so-called "vanity pages", is that supposed to be a veiled threat to VfD my user page? So what if I'm vain? I don't think that makes my user page a candidate for VfD. linas 21:33, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- OK I just saw your post. I don't think that threatening user pages is an appropriate behaviour. That's just plain wrong. I'm so very sorry that you think my user pages are "vanity pages" and are not wikipedia material, but it is my understanding that user pages pages are more or less under the control of the user. Go ahead and VfD them. I think you are way wrong, and have seriously overstepped norms of behaviour. linas 21:39, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm not dumb. You posted the following on my talk page:
- And yet, Wikipedia has rules against articles on most individuals, unless they are notable in some way. In fact, articles on people who haven't done anything particularly unusual are considered "vanity".
Don't say that you didn't post this, and that you don't know what I'm talking about. We were talking about deletion policy, and the votes for deletion of various elementary and middle schools. And right in the middle of that conversation, you decide to change the topic to so-called "vanity pages". I have one big giant vanity page. Duhhh. As you have WP admin priveledges, this gives you a variety of power that I do not have, including the ability to delete users, and lord knows what else. I think you are abusing your powers by running around bullying people. This is absolutely the wrong kind of behaviour for a wikipedia admin to engage in. linas 23:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Forgive me for interjecting, but this is getting too hot, and for no reason. I certainly do not see how Jayjg threatens to delete Linas's page. Jayjg was obviously referring to encyclopedia articles about people, and not to user pages. Oleg Alexandrov 02:13, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
OK, I don't want this to continue. But I think there's a pretty strong reason. The ostensible topic is about schools. And then, kaboom! this is posted to my talk page:
- Are parents important? Is every single one of them notable? Should we have an encyclopedia article on each one? Jayjg (talk) 20:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
OK, so he guesses I'm a parent? Makes sense, why else would I care about grade schools? This is a rhetorical question. Of course parents are important. Of course they are all notable. Yes, everyone deserves a WP page. So why is the question even being asked? We find out why in the next post:
- And yet, Wikipedia has rules against articles on most individuals, unless they are notable in some way. In fact, articles on people who haven't done anything particularly unusual are considered "vanity". Jayjg (talk) 21:13, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Ah, OK, so WP has rules against individual pages. Great. I've got a big individual page. OK, so I'm reading these guidelines about vanity pages. So I dunno, does my page qualify as "vanity"? It makes me ill to even look at these guidelines. Lets see, its written by me... it talks about all the great things I'm thinking about. I think its reasonable, but he's basically implying that I "haven't done anything particularly unusual". Well, that's pretty insulting in itself. Why is the conversation now focused on vanity pages? In what way, exactly is that not an insult coupled to a threat to delete?
Well, now I see strong protestations on my talk page: my page is not a vanity page after all. Well golly. Are we back-pedaling as fast as we can now, or what? Grrrrr. linas 04:48, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Edits on Missing Wikipedians
editJay, please stop reverting the edits on Missing Wikipedians and yes they are missing and you are gonna accept it. I'm getting tired of trying to restore them. -- Mike Garcia | talk 20:00, 19 May 2005
I am having a minor dispute with some members in the Vanunu article. Some posters are very fickle on any editions to it because it is a featured article; at least that is what I think is happening. I have added some information regarding the reasons for his arrest, and his protest against the bombing of the Osiraq nuclear reactor in 1981. There appears to be an arrogant or at least overcatious streak in some posters to erase any new information in this article, even if it is documented and sourced. I always value your imput, so if you have the time, please comment on how to improve the article and my edits there.
Thanks,

editJay, I'm amazingly busy right now, so I can't stay long and argue my case.. But do you really need to attack everthing I post? Surely even you are above that? Belfast is a part of 'Ireland'. I have several sources that place his birth in Dublin, YOu have noted some that place it as Belfast. Both of these places are in 'Ireland', hence my alteration --Irishpunktom\talk
- Jay... Belfast is in Ireland. Simple Geography.
- Thanks for the little Jerusalem edit though! Reminds me of a line from the Simpsons. --Irishpunktom\talk
- As well and true as you may believe that to be, fact is I never said he was born in Dublin, I said he was born in Ireland, which you described as "an error", which surely even you can admit was wrong.. or can you? --Irishpunktom\talk

Yehudei sheqolenique
editYehudei sheqolenique, ever heard of them? Can you look at and verify the article at all? Thanks IZAK 10:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- Jay? Why does this article still exist? The VfD was opened May 19, which as I read it was 11 days ago. The VfD has not been even mildly contentious, and, given that the article is sheer (and rather ridiculous) fantasy, I see no reason why the the VfD wasn't changed to a speedy delete. In fact, the last vote cast on was on May 24, which was, itself, almost a week ago. Meanwhile the article has been mirrored to a hundred other sites, and will probably soon enter the lore of the likes of Jew Watch (who will probably use the article's deletion as proof of the existence of the "Yehudei Sheqolenique", and characterize the article's deletion as proof of Khazars trying to erase all non-Ashkenazim, blahblahblah...) Tomer TALK 18:12, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

editThis jerk abused his authority, violated Wikipedia policy by using his authority to clear away his lackey's opponents in the middle of a content dispute, and deliberately lied about me claiming that I am a sockpuppet. I stand by my statements. ElKabong
- Regardless of what you believe has happened, you have a simple choice to make; stop making attacks, and continue to contribute to Wikipedia, or continue making attacks, and inevitably be banned from Wikipedia. The decision is yours. Jayjg (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- In other words, "stop speaking truth to power." You know what? That's a pretty shitty thing to say. I've had to put up with attacks and smears and lies by his cronies, I've had to deal with the fact that he PERSONALLY lied and made crap up to justify banning not just me but someone else as well, and I'm not supposed to speak my side? Bullshit. He hasn't operated in good faith at any point in this. ElKabong
Nazi occupation of Norway
editIt appears that we are approaching a consensus on the title for this article, but User:Courage has, once again, unilaterally moved the article to "German occupation of Norway." I think you need special rights to revert this, and I'm not sure if he's violated other policies. Can you please attend to it? Thanks. --Leifern 20:13, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Hello Jayjg, after we reached consensus on an new name for German military occupation of Norway/Nazi occupation of Norway in the form of "Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany", the discussion on that page was closed. Can you make the title change? Please notice that the dispute on the content is still in place, so that would be the next issue to address. Best, gidonb 10:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi IZAK (and everyone else here :), Do you think it's time to create Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel similar to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/India, Wikipedia:Wikiportal/New Zealand and other Category:Wikiportals? I'm writing this here because it was you who made those wonderful templates and we don't have a portal yet where we could communicate. What do you think? ←Humus sapiens←Talk 05:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Deletion of my project
editJay, I'm working on the article re: Lawrence Kepecs. I took some of the information that was there, found many more sources and added a lot of new information to it as well. It took me and others a long time to gather the info that was recovered. Can you please let us finish our work, as I cannot accomplish anything when you keep deleting it. It was suggested that the page be revised and reposted. If there is anything I can do to make this article more suitable to your liking, please let me know. Thanks --Cantors 20:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- The problem last time was that sources were not quoted properly. Many people have taken this work under their auspices, working long hours researching and composing a well thought out article about this individual. A lot more information was gathered since the old article appeared. It has taken much time, money, and effort to find out additional material. All sources are clearly listed in the article. The article is still in its developmental stages, and I request that just as you would want courtesy given to research that you have done, that likewise courtesy be given to the other researchers of this piece. Thank you.--Senator 20:47, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Tomer had suggested to revise the article and add reliable sources.--Merlinzor 20:50, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
I am disturbed that this is being characterized by User:Cantors as "[his] project". The continued, albeit increasingly sophisticated, sock puppetry is also disturbing. I don't care if it's one person or 20 people, the article, as it was, was HORRIBLY flawed. By the end of the discussion that went into the VfD, I was actually almost convinced that possibly Cantor Képecs might be sufficiently noteworthy to warrant a WP article, but COMPLETELY convinced that the sockpuppetmaster Merlin/zor et al. are too compromised in honesty to be trusted with writing it. Concerning the effort that it is claimed has gone into compiling a "better" article, I have to question the motivation behind it. As I said, I was almost convinced that possibly this fellow might warrant an article. Spending long hours and spending a great deal of money in composing an article is inconsistent with that judgment. That said, I'm not the only with a voice on the matter.
Now on the question of what the "problem last time was". It was not that sources were not quoted properly as Sockpuppet Senator says. It's interesting, but not even remotely surprising, that Sockpuppet Merlinzor shares Sockpuppet Senators mistaken notion on this point, and that they should think to characterize it as my suggestion. In fact, I don't recall that any sources were actually quoted in the article. What I do recall is that a bunch of newspaper clippings were scanned and, in violation of copyright law, inserted into the article...and that, in a horribly slipshod fashion. As for reliable sources, I think a better characterization of what I was looking for would be noteworthy reliable sources. The Newtown Bee does not qualify. Now, for what I actually recommended, it was that the sockpuppetmaster be given the content of the article and its talk page after the article's deletion. Whatever s/he does with it is of little concern to me, but I will be just as insistent that any future article dwelling on this individual meet the standards of relevance and accuracy as I would insist upon for any other WP article.

Linking dates in references
edit- Because it looks the same. [[17 october]] [[2003]] renders as 17 october 2003 wheras [[October 17]] [[2003]] renders as October 17 2003. rgds, Rich Farmbrough 23:05, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Let me be a lttle clearer. I make no effort to keep the original order becasue it doesn't matter. I am using search and replace to make the change. However, now you mention it there is one advantage, from time to time I have to revert a change, which is simple, more infrequently I part revert, manually. This would be easier with the same order, so thanks, I'll probably do that. Rich Farmbrough 23:22, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, it's not much clearer; why is it easier?
- Because in the case in point I would edit "[[May 31]]" to "May 31" if I decided a change was wrong - less keystrokes and less chance of error. (E.G. date in a link, a direct quote, a template which imposes wikifying of dates, a URL.) (Except of course that in the case in point the date order wsn't changed anyway)
Also, don't you think the original authors had something in mind when they used that order?
- Not in the vast majority of cases. Any more than they have something in mind when they say Anemia or Anaemia. When the layout is more important than the content, then the change should not be made, as in the examples above, or a proper name. When the idea is to refer to a period of time, then it is good that the users can see it in their desired format.
And finally, since the articles inevitably linked to say October 17, why not just link there? Jayjg (talk) 23:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Neither format will be a redirect, so what does it matter? Rich Farmbrough 23:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see why it's disconcerting, since it's invisible, still never mind, with the changes I talked about I'll be doing what you want anyway. The example of Anemia/Aneamia was chosen to illustrate just such a point, generally it would be left alone, but in the article Anemia it's been regularised - it's not a big deal.

Unclean vs unfit
editOf course "unclean" is an imprecise term. But then the record is a bit confusing. On the one hand, the Gemara states that saying "I won't eat pig because it is abhorrent to me" is insufficient, as we keep mitzvos because HKBH tells us no and not because of personal preference. Still, the Torah describes many species as a toevah, which DOES connotate "abhorrent". The English term in general use seems to be "unclean", pretty much like tum'ah is translated as "unclean" while in fact it is a non-hygienic concept.
I think trying to have the pages renamed is going to meet with resistance. JFW | T@lk 10:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it make sense to clean up the text?
- I agree that the text should state unequivocally that "cleanliness" is not the real motivation behind either kashrut or tum'ah, but that they reflect spiritual realities. JFW | T@lk 14:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Admins abusing their authority and other fun things
editYou might want to look at your butt-buddy admin friends who continually abuse their authority and lie about me, then walk around slapping in bans and lying some more while I'm unable to respond. Note the latest nonsense from SlimVirgin over on KaintheScion's page (where I finally just put in BOTH versions before the power-mad freak reverted it back yet again). ElKabong
- ZScout just pulled his lying bullshit again on KtS's page. I'd revert it but the lying bastards would use it as an excuse to ban me. Here we go again. ElKabong
- One: I am not an admin.
- Two: If you claim not to be KaintheScion, then why are you editing that persons user page.
- Three: Your personal attacks are really getting on everyones nerves
- Please try to relax, ElKabong. El_C 23:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
- I believe that ElKabong has been editing KaintheScion's page because the accusation is that ElKabong is using KaintheScion as a sock puppet. This is a rather large insult for Zscout and his fellows to be making.
- I think ElKabong is going overboard with some of the personal attacks, but his frustration also seems quite warranted, as there are a large number of admins and editors who have been dealing in very bad faith against him/her. ZScout, your constant reversions qualify. Enviroknot
- Please try to relax, ElKabong. El_C 23:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
- It's obvious, but at the risk of laboring the point, Elkabong is KaintheScion and Enviroknot; he e-mailed me and the mailing list using Enviroknot in his e-mail address, at that point calling himself Cranston Snord. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:46, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Slimvirgin, I will point out to you that making false accusations is evidence that you are acting in bad faith. I am not a sock puppet of any sort, but after seeing your email and your posts here I am not at all surprised that you have gained these sort of adversarial responses from ElKabong. Enviroknot

You'll notice that this user (these users?) are doing very little else besides inserting this crap all over the place. Tomer TALK 21:39, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Those are not "crap" articles, but relevant links to a site with much research and support. The website may look bland, but it really contains interesting information. 21:06, May 26, 2005 (UTC-5)
Hrmm
editWell, SirGeneral (talk • contribs) doesn't appear to be on board with the puppetteer, but in fairness, his paltry edit record should probably be pointed out in similar fashion to those of the various socks. ...if it's not, you can be sure the High and Mighty Puppetteer will cry foul...

Another one
editHey, this person vandalized my user page: JiangsMonkeyUncle. He has been wanred a few times, and has said this: "I vandalized Jiang. Why? Because he is a communist freak from mainland China". Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:51, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
One more
editI made external links (articles from eifiles.cn) to the "Hebrew" and the "Garden of Eden" article, but you deleted them and said they were irrelevant. Just how irrevelant? Because they seemed perfectly fine to me. 20:56, May 26 2005 (UTC-5)
Raphael Rooms article
editYou were kind enough to work on the Clementine Hall article the other day so I was hoping you'd be willing to look over what I wrote for the Raphael Rooms. If you have the time and inclination, by all means take a look.Sumergocognito 07:20, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
How about merge them all into Apostolic Palace? By itself the Clementine Hall deserves fifty words (at the very most) and a good perspective pic (not what's there now). Raphael Rooms deserves a fuller treatment because it's Raphael's opus magnum but it would be fine to merge them all into one sectioned file. What needs most of all to be merged is School of Athens into Raphael Rooms because the former is just the most famous painting in the latter. Thx- Sumergocognito 06:51, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
Mel Etitis butchering your words
editYou should be advised that in Dhimmi, Mel Etitis has fraudulently "removed personal attacks" from your statement twice now. He is in violation of Wikipedia: Remove Personal Attacks which states that It's important not to change the overall meaning. Mel Etitis does not care about this. In fact, he prides himself on deliberately "removing personal attacks" in a way as to completely change the meaning of what has been said.
More Sam Spade
editNote that he is now using evidence which predates my adminship (the same evidence he used against me on my RFA), to claim I am a rogue admin. Unsurprsingly, the page is linked to his <big> signature,. [4] Now, anywhere he goes, he besmirches me, a new step for him. But I am concerned of the impact this would have on new users and my abilities to preform my admin duties (again, considering that his allegations are unrelated to any admin actions, or existence, on my part). Please speak up against this harrasment. El_C 22:12, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
Arab Israeli Conflict edit
editCould you please check if my recent edit is NPOV? I do not know if it is possible to state the opinion of one man, as the opinion of a "some" Palestinian Arab Christians, or just qualify it as his opinion. What do you think is both more linguistically sound and npov, the edit you reverted too or the edit I inserted afterwards? Your input is always appreciated.

Whew good. :)
Yuber's edit
editI respect people who have a strong pov on subjects, but I do not respect those who cannot cooperate with others. I will continue to make sure that his edits are monitored, but if he doesn't cooperate in the future or respond to reason through discussion and private messages, I suggest using some other official means to make him understand that this isn't a soapbox and he cannot have unileteral decisions imposed on others without cooperation. Until that time, if you are in trouble because of a 3RR limit, you can ask for my help. You've proven to be a prudent editor many times over.
Absolutely, his tactics are abominable and against both the spirit and word of wikipedia policy. I will back you up on this fully. If you need to report him for arbitration or whatever I too will support you. I don't know how to make someone to come to their senses, but he so consistently proving that he is not fit for this project. 99% of things he inserts are changed, erased or reverted within 20 minutes. We might have to start treating him as a vandal sooner or later. Guy Montag 05:59, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- You can count on my support in making WP NPOV. FYI, now we have a forum for such announcements: WP:WNBI. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 06:38, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- Please understand that I have very low regard for you in relation to the false accusations you have made that I am a sockpuppet.
- However, I feel obliged to point out to you that Yuber is starting yet another revert war on an Islamic topic. His target today seems to be Dhimmitude, I have not yet been able to spend time fact-checking the rest of his recent edits.Enviroknot 21:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- The RFAr against KaintheScion/Elkabong accuses me of being a sockpuppet, and you signed it. This is what I object to.
- Also be advised, Yuber has falsely accused me of violation of 3RR now.Enviroknot 21:47, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
I don't want to "campaign" for this article, but I think that through working with User:Cwolfsheep, the article has been sufficiently altered (by which I mean pared away of its POV), to warrant a reconsideration of your vote (and possibly the speedy removal of the VfD tag). Please review the article, as well as the discussion on the VfD page and on Cwolfsheep's user and talk pages in the process. Tomer TALK 23:17, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
