Please place your talkback and you've got mail notices below this line in this section (no subsection necessary). I plan to delete them when I have read them. Thank you.

The subject repeatedly edits his own page. It was nominated for deletion and ultimately kept, but doesn't seem to have any serious admin's attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.1.13.235 (talk) 04:20, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What specifically is wrong with that username? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote, "it appears to be biased and in poor taste."[1] Anyway, the user's been blocked indefinitely as per Template:uw-vaublock.[2]   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll rephrase the question. What specifically is "biased and in poor taste" about it? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 02:54, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Straights could have a problem with it because it refers to a gay creature. LGBT persons could have a problem with it because it refers incorrectly to a female-named creature with the mainly-male mainly-human term "gay". Animal rights activists could have a a problem with it because it makes an animal appear to have a mainly-human sexual preference. In any case, I agree most with the blocking admin's contention that it "suggests that [the user's] intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia".   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would a straight person have a problem with a reference to a gay animal? "Gay" isn't exclusive to men, and even if it were why would LGBT people have a problem with it being used to describe a woman? As a queer man I can assure you I don't find that usage problematic, and I don't think I've ever met anyone who would. How does it suggest the user's intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia?

OK, I'm going to invoke the first law of holes and stop digging. :)   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1401 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily! We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. On behalf of the Articles for Creation project, TheSpecialUser TSU

This school project is destined for the advancement of Wikimedia Foundation Projects. Thanks for the links, info on Irene, and the notion to pop it in the Create Room. What a wonderful idea for those people over at the Wikimedia Strategy Department.

User names that would benefit from changing them and the various reasons they were innapropriately named to begin with.

What do you think of having a classroom discussion on this aspect of creating a username.  O = M _C ⁴  18:03, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teaching how to create a good username is good. Speculating on-wiki about any negative-sounding reason for creating a particular inappropriate username is tantamount to digging a hole, see my reference to the first law of holes above.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. By the way, I suggest that you link to your user talk page archives on any current version of your user talk page; easy ways to do that are discussed at WP:ARCHIVE#Archive_box.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hey mate,

Qalakand was removed because that naming system is used for Arabic/Muslim dervied words. Kalakanda is an Indian sweet and has nothing to do w/ Islam. Indian languages do not even have an equivalent of a 'Q' inherently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.147.224.225 (talk) 03:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My edits to Walid eido's page are to make right totally false allegations of corruption. This is misleading and false. He never resigned as prosecutor otherwise how could he be named a few years later at president of the Criminal court of appeal in Beirut. He only resigned to be able to present his candidature to parliamentary elections are required by law in lebanon for any one in a public office.

That reverted page blanking was by the original article author and may have amounted to seeking deletion as in CSD G7? AllyD (talk) 21:59, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Don't blank articles; instead, request deletion. ... Under normal circumstances, Wikipedia articles should not be blanked."   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 22:07, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, however s/he's doing it, deletion appears to be the aim, judging from this latest edit. AllyD (talk) 22:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That, plus G7, plus A7 Company, should make it go away.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 22:12, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeff G.. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Inkey Jones, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: although the article was blanked by Sj838 who was the original author, others have edited it so that G7 cannot be applied. Let the AfD decide and (per the AfD template) do not blank while discussion is ongoing. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 23:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice. Please see the user's deleted page creation for some more insight on my reasoning for the G7, and copy that info to the AfD.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 23:58, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see. Someone else copied it to his talk page and added a "helpme", and I have told him there that now others have substantially edited it he cannot get it speedied on request, and he should say at the AfD that it should be deleted and why. A messy situation - all these SPAs wrangling, but nobody has yet actually said "Keep" or "Delete". JohnCD (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I have just now. :)   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 00:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was simply changing the "an" in "an homage" to "a". As you should know, "an" is used when the word after it starts with a vowel or sounds like it does (when speaking). As "homage" does not start with a vowel and it doesn't even sound like it does (even though if it did "an" would only be appropriate for speech") I do not think that it should be reverted. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDigClackBick (talk • contribs) 00:52, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Interesting username you've got there. If you switch the first letters around, it wouldn't take too much creativity to see "The _ig _lack _ick" could be something that we wouldn't consider an appropriate username. Doc talk 00:59, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The verbal rules apply in both verbal and written forms. Given a silent "h", "homage" sounds like "omage" so "an" is required before it.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So what you're saying is that my name invalidates what I say? http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDigClackBick (talk • contribs) 01:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, It's more of an "aside". I'm saying your username needs to be changed, since you acknowledge what it really refers to, and we don't want editors running around with offensive usernames. Doc talk 01:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDigClackBick (talk • contribs) 01:22, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, we'll see. If you add "HEIL" to things like you did here,[3] and if you change "Private Shares" to "Private Parts" like you did today[4] (presumably for the "lulz"), then your username will be the least of your worries. Doc talk 01:29, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And now it has happened. "Flufflewuffles", don't vandalize blatantly anymore, okay? Changing the United States to "Murikka"[5] may be amusing to you, but it is what we call "not constructive". That's three blatantly bad edits now, and there should be no more. Happy editing! Doc talk 01:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
