Your Userpage

I hope you are alright...if you have something to rant/want to talk about, there is always my email, yeah? And hope your upcoming surgery will go smoothly, as always health is always a top priority in one's life. - Mailer Diablo 01:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments, I was being harrassed by some stupid vandal a few days ago trying to get all my info, even emailing one of my friends to try to find out my address, luckly the harrasment stopped for now. I had no time to deal with this type of bullshit, especially with people like Brandt and certain members of the Wikipedia Review around harrasing more editors to leaving, and I needed a break. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 18:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up ny nomination page. I'd thank you for your vote of confidence, but..

Ah. Well, now I'm seeing why you were so hasty. You requested to be an admit six times.

Yikes. --Amynewyork4248 21:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Chess Blogs Spam?

Hello I wanted to open a discussion about your edit regarding chess blogs. I feel that chess blogs are not spam and should be at least given a place in the chess category. What would be be a better way to handle this? Maybe creating a category for chess blogs would be better. Explaining the history of chess blogs and what they do for the chess community... how they are used etc. Would this be ok? Please let me know.

Dennis

Got your last message. Not sure if I am using the talk feature correctly. I would like to start a new section for chess blogs. Not on the main page for now but as a separate section and if you feel it is a worthy section maybe then we can link to it. Would it be ok if I start a chess blog section?

Dennis

Hi thanks for your last message. I will compile and create an article including the history and other information you listed. I appreciate your help with this.

Sincerely,

Dennis

My RfA

Thank you for voting in my recently unsuccessful RfA. I plan on working harder in the coming months so that I have a better chance of becoming an admin in the future. I hope you will consider supporting my if I have another RfA. Thank you for your comments. --digital_me^(t/c) 15:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Thanks

RenamedUser jaskldjslak901/Archive13, thank you for participating in my RfA. It passed with an amazingly unopposed 77/0/1. Thanks for the support everybody! If you see me doing anything wrong, want to ask me something, or just want to yell in my general direction, leave me a note on my talk page. I promise to try and knock out Wikipedia's problems wherever I may find them!

Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I disagree

re fort liquordale -- the sheer number of these sources, even if one standfing alone would be insufficient, seems like evidence enough that this is a widely used term. And please don't take the uncivil tone with me. I am an experienced editor with many, many good faith edits. Captaintruth 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the apology. however, you have not yet responded to my central point, which is that slang expressions, while they can be notable, often do not have "credible" sources and thus sometimes a very large number of less than credible sources using the term as described in the article can be sufficient to establish notability, especially when the term in question is in very wide usage. Captaintruth 21:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Good to see that you are now going through my user contributions. Captaintruth 21:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Music samples on Selena

I added one sample in the Selena article, I don't know if I did it right though. I probaly going to upload one other sample before the night is over. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 23:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Nice work. I recommend you to upload significant samples that makes the article more understandable. CG 09:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see you doing well :)

I thought you left! Don't get stressed out :)

Columbine for Version 0.5

Hey, would it be possible to also add List of victims of the Columbine High School massacre along with the Columbine Article since that one was approved. The list is a big part of the article and it was only separated into a separate entry because the article was way too long with it. Thanks. -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 12:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Unknown IP user

An editor using the IP address 75.3.82.7 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) has been poorly editing WGN-TV by making various stylistic errors. I have re-reverted back to previous (stylistically correct) versions but this user continues to flip back to their version, which can be considered as vandalism. I have tried a WHOIS search to find their origin, but was unsuccessful. So, I'm fowarding this request to you in hopes that this unknown user can be found and then blocked from editing.

Chicago, Illinois - peer review

I came across your name when looking up the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, and saw that you have an interest in city articles. I am in the middle of working on the Chicago article (which is listed as a Good Article by the way) in the hopes of getting it to FA. If you have the chance, can you look over it and comment on it? Thanks. Pentawing^Talk 06:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Jaranda, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling. I wish I had time to thank everyone personally, but I'm afraid all I can offer is this token of my gratitude. I hope to live up to your expectations/hopes. If at any stage you need to contact me, for help or a request or to point out a mistake in my conduct, please make sure to tell me on my talk page. --Fir0002 08:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi RenamedUser jaskldjslak901/Archive13, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I would like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 14:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NASCAR proposed standards

WikiProject NASCAR needs your help! We are in the process of forming our proposed standards which, when complete, will hopefully become a Wikipedia guideline. The guidelines will help editors understand Wikipedia consensus about things like which NASCAR-related articles meet notability standards. Please stop by and let us know what you think!

Thanks for watching my talk and reverting a troll comment. I've tried to explain on his talk page exactly what he's doing wrong.

Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting! Hello RenamedUser jaskldjslak901/Archive13, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

Okay, Jaranda, what is your effin' problem?

I think that "Ridin'" trivia was notable. WHAT IS WIKIPEDIA NOT THAT WAS THAT SECTION??? M. Burmy 14:02 CDT 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• As far as I see it Wikipedia is not paper, either. So, some "non-encyclopedic" details are actually "non-paper encyclopedic." I say keep 'em M. Burmy 14:29 CDT 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• I agree with Jaranda. We have to strive toward removing minor trivia details from a general interest encyclopedia. That is what external links are for; links to various sites dealing with the music video(s). No, I'm not into rap :) — Deckiller 19:47, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

SeDoMoCha

Hi Jaranda, I wanted to let you know that I deprodded this article based on the outcome of the recent discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annieville Elementary School and some other schools. If this were to go to AfD, the consensus would likely be to keep it. Regards, Accurizer 22:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I was seeing several schools being deleted by prod recently and I though it was safe to nominate schools for deletion again as I don't really do AFD anymore, still nn and Annieville Elementary School was a mass AFD of alot of schools anyways. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 22:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear that the surgery went well, and you're back editing - one handed? Thanks for the offer of the RfA support, but I wouldn't be able to handle the tools properly!

Trading spaces

alt text

Hello, Jaranda, thank you for signing up to participate in the trading spaces program. As you requsted to have your user page renovated by another user, Joturner will be renovating your userpage. Please contact Joturner on their talk page about the renovating. The renovating will be listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_Page_Help/Trading_Spaces#Undergoing_Renovation, please feel free to update the status as it changes. Enjoy!

Hello there. Do you have a problem with me renovating your page? (it's entirely your decision) If not, some guidance on what you would like done to your user page would be appreciated. joturner 22:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I personally don't mind you renovating my page. I'm bad in creating them a good userpage. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 22:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Some suggestions? I don't have anything to go on right now except an arm surgery, but that doesn't make for a good user page. joturner 22:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I like a rather quiet userpage, maybe a place where I can place several userboxes later on, and one that is small but nicely organized. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 22:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, that sounds good. Just one thing; do you have a favorite color? joturner 22:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's my best attempt to keep things simple, but still maintain my creativity. Relevant images are at Image:Pin-45left.png, Image:Pin-45right.png, and Image:Jaranda.png and relevant subpages are at User:Joturner/Jaranda's User Page/PinLeft and User:Joturner/Jaranda's User Page/PinRight. Your comments, suggestions, etc. are, of course, appreciated. joturner 04:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

By the way, you can always add more items (perhaps more userboxes between the main note and the wide barnstar box). I tried to explain that a bit in a comment I put on the page (that you can only see while editing), but that may not have been enough information. Anyway, moving stuff around simply means adding and subtracting from the top:, left:, and right: attributes until you get the desired location. I'm sure you'll figure it out quickly, but if you end up using this design and want my help, you can always contact me and I'll explain it in greater detail. joturner 05:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hold that thought; I have to fix a few things, thanks to my friend Internet Explorer. joturner 15:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright; I'm done (I hope). It doesn't look perfect in Internet Explorer, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this one pixel (it either will look perfect in Firefox or in Internet Explorer). Anyway, back to what's really importnat for me: building the encyclopedia or at least something in the real world. joturner 20:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest moving the subpages, User:Joturner/Jaranda's User Page/PinLeft and User:Joturner/Jaranda's User Page/PinRight, to your userspace. joturner 21:03, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

That's not what I meant. joturner 21:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

As you could probably guess from the change I made to your userpage, I moved the two subpages to your userspace and changed the transclusions. I'm going to request speedy deletions from the subpages in my userspace and the draft version in my userspace, if that's alright with you (I'm not sure why it wouldn't be). joturner 21:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea I don't mind. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 21:24, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for butting in and messing with the templates for pinright and pinleft. I think it is now how it was originally intended. Before it looked out of wack with the brown patches. David D. (Talk) 06:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Template

Hi Jaranda, I´ve seen you are an expert of evaluation in the 0.5 Version. I´m currently working on the Berlin article and want to improve this template ; 'Boroughs of Berlin' in [Berlin#External links].Where do I find it to work with it or how can I get access to it? The Template:Help -Site was no success. Thanks for your help. (Sashandre 18:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC))

withdrawing

I have experiance because I had a IP address acount a long time before this. I've told many people that just because I haven't been here long doesn't mean I'm not already very informed about the Wiki.

Please respond. RainbowSprinkles Talk [Contributions] [Email me] 01:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Version 0.5

Hi Jaranda, I hope you're recuperating nicely. Thanks again for your hard work at Version 0.5. As the other main reviewer, I was wondering what you thought about the format on the Version 0.5 page. I thought our original layout had a few flaws, but I really dislike the new format, mainly the loss of the ten category system we originally approved by discussion & vote. The original layout matches with the ten {{V0.5}} categories and with the ten categories on the nominations page. I did comment on this, but no one has responded. I don't know if they're being too polite to disagree, or whether they really don't mind! Before I do anything, I'd like to at least know your thoughts on this.

By the way, you might be pleased to know that yesterday we passed the 10,000 mark for no. of assessed articles here, and WikiProjects are adding themselves almost daily! This information will be an invaluable resource for Wikipedia 1.0 once it becomes established right across Wikipedia! Thanks, Walkerma 04:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Q: Is the glass half-full or half-empty? The question relates to a commonly used phrase that asks whether you are an optimist or a pessimist. David D. (Talk) 20:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• To the optimist, the glass is half full.
• To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
• To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
• To JAranda.......fill in the blank....

No probs

I think it's cool to change it as it's a statement of feeling at a given time which can change, and obviously your mind has changed since then, but I think you should have been on top of it and my rationale to oppose still stands. If it turns out that you've had to "spend" 1 support vote and "buy" 1 oppose to notice it and still get through that would be fine with me. I know, if successful, you'll grow into the post with support from existing admins, myself included if there's anything I can do. I won't go as far as adding diffs to the previous version although I might have to make a note that the quote has changed, if only to make my votes make sense. I know what going through a close RfA is like, hope you're sleeping well and good luck! Deizio talk 00:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The diff: As noted on the RfA, and per my word given above, I didn't include the diff. At first I thought you'd added it. Deizio talk 14:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
