Thank you for alerting me to guidance regarding logo's within the main body of text. I had not considered any possible legal issues. I have now stopped. However, I did not notice your edits or messages until I had changed the first few West Ham United squad players. This has resulted in a Level 2 warning - perhaps due to 'vandalism'?. I am not familiar with the warnings system on wikipedia, could you please explain, as this was an innocent mistake on my part for someone new to the website. Cheers! citythepillar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Citythepillar (talk • contribs) 06:42, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted those warnings. Thank you for heeding the guidance.   — Jeff G.  ツ 06:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff, I have found other examples of users displaying logo's on wikipedia, such as here: Paolo Di Canio. Should I revert the users edits or leave that sort of thing for admin? Citythepillar (talk) 09:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeff, sorry to keep bothering you!

Thank you for directing me to the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for musical groups in particular, regarding the pages I created for Beans On Toast and Handshake (band). After reading the guidelines, I agree that the page for Handshake should be deleted.

However, I created the Beans On Toast page following an article I read in the New Musical Express (better known as the NME), a popular music magazine in the United Kingdom that has been published weekly since March 1952. I am aware of other published articles regarding his notability, both online and in print. Can I therefore ask the following questions: 1) How does one reference a magazine/newspaper article? 2) I am away this weekend, will the page be deleted if I am unable to locate references until next week? 3) I have just found a previous article regarding Beans On Toast by another user, User:Zakistan/Beans on toast (Musician). Should I attempt to combine both articles?

Thanks again, Citythepillar (talk) 07:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For Handshake, please add {{db-author}} to it (without "tl|"). For Beans On Toast, citation templates can be found at WP:CITATION, I have userfied it to User:Citythepillar/Beans On Toast, and yes you should try to combine them. You're welcome.   — Jeff G.  ツ 07:28, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Considering your work on other Wiki projects (and adminship there as well), sysop privileges on the English Wikipedia are long, long overdue. Let me know if you're interested. elektrikSHOOS 01:32, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff, my honest advice at this moment would be to wait. Without meaning you any disrespect, I think it would be unwise to go though with an RfA right now. I'd advise you to leave it a few months and take things a bit slower. I think you're a little too hasty and that will count against you at RfA and is not something to be desired in an admin. Of course, you can totally disregard my advice, but I think highly enough of you to offer it even if you do. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 03:50, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both. I appreciate the attempt, but I'd like to postpone this nomination, as I was not entirely prepared for it, I have some things going on in RL that will reduce my time online in the coming weeks, and I am currently running for Steward on the Test Wiki. Please note that I am also a Community Relations Member there (which supercedes Oversighter), and my Helper status there supercedes Bureaucrat. In the meantime, more comments at User:Jeff G./Coaching and User:Jeff G./Admin coaching and their talk pages would certainly be welcome. Thank you.   — Jeff G.  ツ 04:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for the advice but everything I said can be verified with the same references as are cited in the story. The links given in the reference section stopped working weeks after the game. If you reduced the story to what can be verified by real sources there would be no story left. Even the books cited are nothing but the authors opinions, no chess book is properly cited and no claim made by any of them can be independently verified with a source that would be accepted in science, for instance. There are simply no real records of what was said on the boards.

5.^ a b COMPLETE COMMENTARY BY MOVE MSN.com 6.^ Today's Move, 10-14 MSN.com 7.^ Today's Move, 10-14 MSN.com

They were kept on a server in Austrailia for about a year (http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/~rwb/kas/76220.txt) and then they too were gone. I was there and made major contributions to the game. I am simply trying to turn the story from the NPOV that people complained about in the notes to a more objective story of what happened. I would like to have a refernce for Kasparov admitting he cheated by readind the board, but it is common knowledge in the chess world and I confirmed it with Mig Greengard, an employee of Kasparov's. He could be listed as a source but Kasparov went on the record with his quote about needed an edge. I put the databases I used in the explanation of the true theory of this line it seemed redundant to put them in the references with this level of citation. The story of the theory previously was unverified and false nonsense about the move being so great it caused the line to disappear from chess. In fact more than 100 people have played like Kasparov while 28 played like the WT with only 5 games since 2001 and none since 2008. I did add one of the only remaining true news sources for the game http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/twic258.html for the voting scandal but I don't know why a [1] appears in the 6th refernce. I think there is little doubt I removes sheer conjecture and steered the article into a more neutral and truthful version of events. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.89.145 (talk) 04:45, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://webspace.webring.com/people/gb/bmcc333/outline.html#Kasparov vs the World

In his chat room interview World champion Kasparov made a stunningly honest disclosure he admitted reading the World team strategy board explaining "Host Chris_MSNBC says: Did you come frequently read our comments in the BBS? Host Garry_Kasparov says: Of course I used it to my advantage to look around and follow the discussion on MSN.COM about the game" !! He also gave the team credit for a game at the highest level: " I think that the world deserves to make a draw..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.89.145 (talk) 04:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

People are vandalizing my user page, vandals should be blocked. Reverting vandalism is not even considered 1RR. If you want to ban boxes, then change the policy. It is legal to do. Besides, just ask me nicely and in a few days, I might very well grant your wish. Try to break down the door and throw tear gas in the window and anyone would fight back.

I'm about to leave a note w/ the user, but he's allowed to revert as many times on his talk page as he likes and suggesting that you are undertaking the action "drama mongering" is not a personal attack in any broad sense.

Not only that, but I've re-worded it. Even with nobody asking. If you want something, ask nicely. That box could have been removed just by asking nicely.

Anyway, please do not edit on my talk page for at least 72 hours. I get upset when you do. Maybe it is cultural, but somehow it is very upsetting. Thank you. RIPGC (talk) 04:59, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It can happen in cases where there is lots of radio interference causing the wireless mouse to move around and wireless keyboard to appear to type things, and similarly causing spurious signals in mouse and keyboard wiring. The typical symptom on the screen has been described as "the cursor going nuts" or "moving by itself". Has that been happening on your PC?   — Jeff G.  ツ 04:50, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, both my mouse and keyboard are wired, but the Wi-Fi router is close to their wires. They haven't moved or done anything by themselves lately. The weird thing is that what's changed are specific words, it seems intentional. I thought maybe it could be some sort of communications failure, data getting corrupt along the way and then the characters arrive shifted. Or maybe some sort of malware, just randomly messing up Wiki edits. Never seen it happen in other sites, and it happened when editing on Firefox and Chrome. 189.27.46.185 (talk) 11:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you reverted the addition of Beulah McGillicutty as being with Tommy Dreamer at the event. Technically, it was true. I am watching the PPV as we speak and she was indeed there. She didn't accompany him to ringside but did end up in the ring, though they acknowledged her by her real name Trisa. Tommy's wife Trisa was indeed Beulah McGillicutty in ECW. So I wouldn't call it dubious, but since she didn't actually come to the ring with him perhaps she doesn't get a "with" mention. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 02:41, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
