Sorry I haven't done much with the GA for this - real life and other stuff has somewhat intervened. I hope to make some progress tonight and tomorrow on this. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:19, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Your Arbitration Committee Election Vote
Hello John F. Lewis,
You recently voted in the Arbitration Committee Elections. In accordance to the Request for comment on the election process, you must have made 150 edits in the main article space of Wikipedia before November 1st in order to be eligible to vote. According to a recent count, you may not have met that criterion (some edits were since deleted). If you believe we are in error, or there are other circumstances, such as a number of edits across multiple accounts, please let us know. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Apologies Reaper Eternal, at the time in question I mis calculated the actual number of main space edits. However I have enough to vote next time it comes around. John F. Lewis (talk) 16:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Greetings from 'Ferwert'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferwert (talk • contribs) 04:06, 13 December 2012 (UTC) Hello John I made an attempt at acquiring the necessary expertise to write and/or revise in Wikipedia, but give up John. My primary interest was to rectify a blatant piece of propaganda from one side of the Thailand Political Divide, under the heading "2010 Thai Political Protests". And I want to thank you for offering to be my mentor. I really appreciated that. But the work needed to "get myself up to speed" just isn't worth it, considering my interest in balancing out articles that are singularly focussed on Political reporting from Thailand. You can read my exchange with the guy that wrote the above noted article, who I know is an operative from that side of the political divide. He is on many other English language discussion forumns full time. For your information however, I played around with some of the lessons you sent me. Below is a partial record of that. Thx. again for your help John, and I will let the biased reportage on the "2010 Thai Political Protests" remain on Wikipedia. Bye for now Ferwert
- Thanks for informing me Ferwert, I'll deal with your page now. John F. Lewis (talk) 16:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
A:1909 in Canadian football From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grey Cup Championship December 4 1st Annual Grey Cup Game: Rosedale Field – Toronto, Ontario
Toronto Varsity Blues 26 Toronto Parkdale Canoe Club 6
Toronto Varsity Blues are the 1909 Grey Cup Champions
< 99th Grey Cup
101st Grey Cup >
B: The 100th Grey Cup was a Canadian football game between the East Division champion Toronto Argonauts and the West Division champion Calgary Stampeders to decide the champion of the Canadian Football League in the 2012 season.
The game took place on Sunday, November 25, 2012, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario.[2] This was the fourth Grey Cup game played at Rogers Centre, and the 46th in the city of Toronto.
The Argonauts defeated the Stampeders 35–22 to win their sixteenth Grey Cup title.[3][4]
This was the third meeting between Calgary and Toronto for the Grey Cup championship and the first since the 79th Grey Cup in 1991. This was also the second consecutive year that the Grey Cup game was won by the team from the host city. The result of the game also meant that Argonauts owner David Braley became the first team owner to win back-to-back Grey Cups with two different teams; Braley also owns the 2011 champions, the BC Lions.[5] Over 5.8 million viewers watched the game, with roughly 5.5 million originating from English Canada, making the game the most-watched Grey Cup ever recorded on English-language television.[6]
Following the game, Toronto running back Chad Kackert was named the Most Valuable Player.[7] His teammate, defensive end Ricky Foley received the Dick Suderman Trophy as the Most Valuable Canadian.[8]
Clean-up notes – A discrepancy was noted in Wikipedia.
• In entry “A” above, it was noted that the first Grey Cup was awarded in 1909
• In entry “B” above, the 2012 Grey Cup game was featured as being the 100th. Grey Cup Game.
• Suggested alteration as follows, shown in red.
The 100th Grey Cup was a Canadian football game between the East Division champion Toronto Argonauts and the West Division champion Calgary Stampeders to decide the champion of the Canadian Football League in the 2012 season.
The 100th Grey Cup of the modern era Canadian Football League between the East Division champion Toronto Argonauts and the West Division champion Calgary Stampeders to decide the championship of Canadian Football for the 2012 season, was held on November 25, 2012.

2010 AHL All-Star Game 2010 American Hockey League All-Star Game From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. (February 2010)
This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; suggestions may be available. (February 2010)
The 2010 participants
The 2010 American Hockey League All-Star Game was held on January 18–January 19, 2010 at Cumberland County Civic Center, in Portland, Maine. Where Canadian AHL All-Stars completed a sweep of the 2010 Time Warner Cable AHL All-Star Classic with a come-from-behind 10-9 shootout win over PlanetUSA.[1]
The AHL All-Star game is made up of the top AHL prospects
The 2010 American Hockey League (AHL) All-Star weekend was held on January 18-19th, at Cumberland County Civic center in Portland, Maine. The Canadian All-Stars swept the three game series with a come-from-behind 10-9 shootout win over the American All-Stars. The tournament was sponsored by Time Warner Cable.
2010 AFC Cup knockout stage
?
This title is most non-descriptive. What is the “AFC”? I was attracted to the article thinking it was about the American Football Conference of the National Football League. The introductory, or ‘Lead Section” does nothing to clarify this, nor provide a summary of its’ major aspects.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The lead section of this article may need to be rewritten. The reason given is: Lead contains only a Main article link. Please discuss this issue on the talk page and read the layout guide to make sure the section will be inclusive of all essential details. (May 2010)
Main article: 2010 AFC Cup Contents [hide] • 1 Bracket • 2 Round of 16 • 3 Quarter-finals o 3.1 First leg o 3.2 Second leg • 4 Semi-finals o 4.1 First leg o 4.2 Second leg • 5 Final • 6 References
[edit] Bracket Note: while the bracket below shows the entire knockout stage, the draw for the round of 16 matches was determined at the time of the group draw. The draw for the quarter-finals and beyond was held separately, after the conclusion of the round of 16. Because of the country protection rule, if there are two clubs from the same country, they will not face each other in the quarter-finals. Therefore, the two clubs from Syria, Kuwait, and Thailand may not be drawn with each other in the quarter-finals.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferwert (talk • contribs) 04:04, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
CSD:G12 on Marty Ashby
I've declined the CSD:G12 (Copyright) nomination on the above mentioned article.

I've tagged it with the COI tag and given the author guidance about how to resolve the Copyright concerns. Thank you for your effort, but I didn't nominate it for G12 because there was enough different to make the nomination not blatantly obvious. Hasteur (talk) 22:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Hand-coding
Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyes wikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:31, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Non-admin closure
I undid your relisting of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Baltimore Orioles Opening Day starting lineups. This does not seem to fall under WP:NACD. With the number of participants in the AfD, it seems like an admin could make a close call or even rule "no consensus". The essay WP:NAC only recommends relisting "AfDs with little or no discussion may be relisted if they're relatively new". WP:RELISTINGISEVIL provides a rationale. Let me know if you have any concerns. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 22:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I have no vandalise
Post the vandalism on page Jonkerz (talk) --FROESES (talk) 23:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- To me your edits appear to be vandalism. What does not support your case is your fourth revert. Regardless of vandalism or not, reverting more than three times is inappropriate. If you have a problem, Please take it up with the editor and if you are doing non vandalism edits, The user would see they are in the wrong and revert their revert. John F.

Relisting AfD's
I noticed you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFC 157 after a substantial amount of discussion. Thanks for helping out, but this was not a proper relist. Please read WP:RELIST when you have a moment. Relisting is for AfD's that lack sufficient participation. When you relisted that AfD, it had pages of discussion and over two dozen contributors. When AfD's like that are relisted, it can cause problems, up to and including the invalidation of the AfD in some cases. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks. ‑Scottywong| comment _ 16:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- Apologies. This was done around the time of the previous case (See a few above) and it was a slip up. I should have reviewed all actions I did around the above case. John F. Lewis (talk) 16:43, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

You are in an alliance if there is absolutely no middleground where we can discuss, sigh...you really not helping, you just allowing him to edit and change the article's focus without really bringing in any third party. This is getting ridiculous.Lucia Black (talk) 00:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

- First off I don't even know Lewis, we are not in alliance or whatever you are insinuating. That's not AGF and you have continued to toss terms like bias around at the mere mention that I was a fan of Shirow's work. You over react and create drama about it. I asked for assistance because I was having difficulty in dealing with this situation and wanted clarity on convention. I do not know all of Wikipedia's policies in every minute detail, but I wanted to be sure that it was proper to try and fix what you broke, and according to policy is seems I am allowed to do that. I haven't even really started to fix the broken stuff because you keep raising objections and nonsensical solutions that are detrimental. Changing the scope of a very popular franchise page to deal solely with the manga on your personal opinion is wrong, the franchise is notable and forcing the main incoming link to be solely about the manga is a bad idea, what if they came from another Wikipedia page, outside of Wikipedia? Its the #2 result on Google, why should it be confined to the manga? It does not make sense. Your argument should make sense and be persuasive. Your argument is based on opinion and 'because I think so' not on practicality. That's the issue I have with it. That's why I want to fix it. And I have 250 sources now to do so. If you want to nom the manga for GA, nom the manga, don't make the main incoming link about the manga. That's all. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

re curtaintoad
Hi, I'm curtaintoad's mum.
I have just looked through his recent messages and tried to explain a few things to him.
He is a child with autism, so a lot of this info is hard for him to understand at first, but he will get it eventually..with this in mind, I have suggested to him that he leaves it for a while before he attempts the adoptee test.
I'd like to thank you for your help so far.

- Fully understood. If he wishes to avoid my general adoption reminders I suggest it is best to stop going into hat collecting or being to eager to do things such as requesting permissions or announcing his wishes to be an administrator. I keep a regular track of his contributions so I know all of his actions since October and hat collecting it among them. If I don't see any of those then I would be willing to hold off adoption with his until possibly late April early may before I remind him. John F. Lewis (talk) 16:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Your Bot
Hey! I was just looking at your bot BRFA and saw that you are in trial, I have had a look at User:JohnFLBot/Docs but I can't quite work out how to set up the bot to work in the way my archives already do (see my talk page). I would appreciate any help, maybe the docs page needs a bit more description for some of the variables. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 14:28, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- I will expand the docs once I get time to do some debugging on the bot, which should be Saturday. I'll take a look at how your archives are configured and post the correct lines that need to configured at some point. Thank you for your interest too Addshore. John F.
