Hey!
I see you just updated the admin coaching page with space for one more is that correct. OtisJimmyOne 03:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's great, I asked Academic Challenger to Coach me earlier but s/he doesn't look as active as you are. Thanks OtisJimmyOne 03:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hey Julian i've created User:Otisjimmy1/Coaching and added what you requested. Best, OtisJimmyOne 23:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Big Thank You!
It's me, Typingwestern015. I finally posted my own picture! Come and see! You must also see my science fiction novel, the concept of a nuclear volcanic meltdown, and these userboxes I made. You'll love it! Seriously, you will. Typingwestern015 (talk) 18:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Admin Coach
Hi there before putting in an application I was wondering if you could if you have time look through my contribs and see if I would be able to apply to be an admin. I have the minimum basics like participating in XFDs and closing/helping with requests on the help desk. Corruptcopper (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Just thought I'd butt in since I'm not sure if JC is here -- a lot of people will oppose if you almost only use Huggle and other automated tools (which is what I see). Audited content work is pretty much a must, or it is highly unlikely that you would pass. I disagree that content work is the be all and end all of adminship, but it seems a lot of people disagree with me, too. — neuro(talk) 20:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that we will continue the discussion on my talkpage if you want as I woul like to know what you mean 'Audited work' Corruptcopper (talk) 20:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- In accordance with point six of Julian's editnotice I'd rather keep messages here. By 'audited content work', I mean GA/FA/FL/DYK, etc. Your unfamiliarity with these processes would be your downfall in an RfA -- I don't agree with it, but it is true. — neuro(talk) 20:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that we will continue the discussion on my talkpage if you want as I woul like to know what you mean 'Audited work' Corruptcopper (talk) 20:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ok cool thanks I will start to look into those areas. Corruptcopper (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for granting my rollback request (: Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 23:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Another requested move
Serbia-Venezuela relations needs an en dash. Thanks! Dabomb87 (talk) 23:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Algeria–Greek relations-->Algeria–Greece relations per [1]. Stay tuned! Dabomb87 (talk) 00:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- Algerian–Turkish relations-->Algeria–Turkey relations. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- If there is anything you ever need, please holler. You don't know how much I appreciate having an admin around right when I want one. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Bilateral AfD closure
what do you think of this closure? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Austria–Georgia relations. the discussion only yielded one source which was a primary source. and the article only has 1 reference. LibStar (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- As I said on Cirt's talk page as well. If we go by strength of arguments, it was a no consensus. Best, --A NobodyMy talk 00:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- I would have closed it the same way personally. A Nobody is correct. –Juliancolton | Talk 00:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
"No edits"
[2] - That's because its only edit was stopped by the abuse filter. Mr.Z-man 00:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

- That would be a violation of the second bullet point at the top of this page. ceranthor 01:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Protection of WP:BLPN
Whilst vandalism of this talk page is bad, it should not be protected from IP editors, who should be able to raise BLP concerns on this noticeboard. I think protecting this page is wrong. Martin451 (talk) 02:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of My user page
Could i please have a copy of my userpage that you deleted without letting me know. Id like to see the Vandalism on it. Avatar 06349 (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's really not worth it. It just contained "F you". — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- my point is he never bothered to let me know about said vandalism or deletion so id like to still see it and who the vandal was. Avatar 06349 (talk) 11:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion to be completed
Hi, you have done a good job in deleting the pages "Michele Trimarchi" and his personal interpretation' of "Neuropsychophysiology". But in the present page of Neuropsychophysiology (that is much more correct, indeed!) there are still two links to ISN (the site of Michele Trimarchi!!) that, in its turn, is a completely non-notable institute. As a matter of fact, it is a self-referential, blatant private organization whose founder (M.Trimarchi) is nor a doctor neither a psychologist, but someone looking for legitimation and visibility. The scientific discipline of neuropsychophysiology is something apart! Please, delete these two links and only then it will be possible to widen the article in a science-based objective manner. Thank you ---- PernillaPthor —Preceding unsigned comment added by PernillaPthor (talk • contribs) 17:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Blatant COI
This article in its entirety has been created and edited by PeterSymonds (talk · contribs). This and the Julian Koltun article are clear demonstrations of the barefaced greed of some cabals (which I shall not name here). It is obvious that wikipedia is worlds biggest force for libel and burying the truth for jimbo's insidious personal profit and to forward NewWorldOrder's agenda. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!

BLP cats
OHHH .. am I just supposed to remove the section when I'm done? I had been just tagging them. — Ched : ? 03:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ahh .. OK .. gotcha. One less step then, no need for someone to review. Will do. thx — Ched : ? 03:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
When you get a chance, would you have a look at a few for me? In the 14900 section of #4, I added two from the 15000 section at the bottom. I wasn't sure what to do with them. Also: Kenneth Regan (murderer) ... I added the no refs tag, but I know we're big on removal of contentious material as well. I'm not really interested in researching this article, so is there anything else I should do? thanks Julian .. you've been a big help! — Ched : ?
G-Forces Web Management Deletion
Hi. You deleted a page I had created - GForces Web Management - today despite my having found an external source to establish notability. What can be done to have this page reinstated or, if this isn't doable, how can I have prevent this happening again? 10:24, 4th June 2009

Article deleted
Hi,
I am just wondering why you have deleted my article even there isn't any article (following link) about "Online quantitative market research" on wiki yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Quantitative_Market_Research
I am looking forward to hearing from you

Help
My account has been compromised. My username is Wireless Keyboard. Can you restore my account? I can prove that this account is me because I have a SHA-512 commitment on my identity. The code is: I like moo cows a lot. . Can you please restore my account. Can you also get a checkuser or someone to investigate my account. I believe that Pekayer11 is behind my account compromise. We know each other personally, and has spread rumors on hacking my account. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Class I Laser (talk • contribs) 14:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, you closed the deletion discussion but no action has been taken on the article itself (though this may be some cache issue on my side). This just a note in case you missed a step while busily doing a bunch of other othings. Best.Bali ultimate (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Adminship
Thanks for your kind words. I have been asked once before to consider adminship, but declined. My primary goal is creating and improving articles, which I can do as a regular editor. It would be nice sometimes to be able to delete and protect articles, but I don't see myself ever being an extremely active admin. On the other hand, I hope I could make a pretty compelling case that I wouldn't abuse the tools either, and the community's expression of confidence in the fact that I'm here for good and not ill would be validating, I suppose. I notice that you are an admin. What do you find to be the best and worst parts of the job? Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 17:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Date of death unknown/missing vs Year of death missing
Hi. Concerning this edit of yours I would to note that Category:Date of death unknown should be placed in talk pages only. Please read instructions in the category's page. This is a common mistake editors do. For article pages prefer the Category:Year of death missing. "Unknown" is not the same with "missing". "Unknown" refers to situations that the date is really unknown and unlikely to be found. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Oops - move request
First, please don't slap me with a trout. :)
Please rename the page:
Category:Articles belonging to WikiProject Index
(groan, per WP:OWN)
To:
Category:WikiProject Index articles
Thank you.
Good luck.
Have fun.

Re: move request
I'm not sure how to move categories, actually... –Juliancolton | Talk 20:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've already moved the entries, by changing the template {{WikiProject Index}}. (Though it takes time for the server to catch up).
- All I need you to do is rename the page itself.
- As far as I know, it's not technically possible to rename category pages, but you could just recreate it under the new title and redirect the old one. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are right. For an example of how it should look, see Category:Articles belonging to WikiProject Outline of knowledge. The Transhumanist 21:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Regarding your deletion of "Noted American Poet R.M. Engelhardt"
To Editor Mr. Julian Colton,
Hello Mr. Colton, how are you?
I recently noticed that you have deleted an old high school-english student of mine, a well-known and widely published poet-writer named (Robert M.) R.M. Engelhardt from your Wikipedia listings and I am very disappointed by this action since Mr. Engelhardt is a poet of note and has been published in over some 100 journals & zines in the US and abroad, on the internet and mostly in print.
And also, please Note regardless of your reasons, many well known "living writers" have a presence on Blogs & MySpace as well as other social media at this moment and your assumptions are seemingly generalized.If you do a google search, here is only a fraction of what appears.
So, to help you out here is a compiled list of some R.M. Engelhardt's status in the world of poetry and a few of his achivements and I hope that you will reconsider your actions soon. This was taken alone from one of his poetry links with permission.
Thank you,
Mr.David Marhaffer Teacher-Retired Albany, NY

- Here? I'm pretty sure I removed about 99% of the bad links by fixing a few templates. –Juliancolton | Talk 00:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- These "historical outline of" articles still have the old links:
- Arizona • Arkansas • California • Colorado • Connecticut • Delaware • Florida • Georgia • Hawaii • Idaho • Illinois • Indiana • Iowa • Kansas • Kentucky • Louisiana • Maine • Maryland • Massachusetts • Michigan • Minnesota • Mississippi • Missouri • Montana • Nebraska • Nevada • New Hampshire • New Jersey • New Mexico • New York • North Carolina • North Dakota • Ohio • Oklahoma • Oregon • Pennsylvania • Rhode Island • South Carolina • South Dakota • Tennessee • Texas • Utah • Vermont • Virginia • Washington • West Virginia • Wisconsin • Wyoming
- And so do these "List of x state symbols" articles:
- Arizona • Arkansas • California • Colorado • Connecticut • Delaware • Florida • Georgia • Hawaii • Idaho • Illinois • Indiana • Iowa • Kansas • Kentucky • Louisiana • Maine • Maryland • Massachusetts • Michigan • Minnesota • Mississippi • Missouri • Montana • Nebraska • Nevada • New Hampshire • New Jersey • New Mexico • New York • North Carolina • North Dakota • Ohio • Oklahoma • Oregon • Pennsylvania • Rhode Island • South Carolina • South Dakota • Tennessee • Texas • Utah • Vermont • Virginia • Washington • West Virginia • Wisconsin • Wyoming

Please replace:

Empty RfA pages
Hi Juliancolton. I've seen you around RfAs a lot, and I was wondering if you knew what to do with this empty RfA page created by an indefinitely blocked sock puppet. The nominating statement is simply "top user", and the nominee was not even notified of the nomination. I'm thinking it should be deleted, but I am not familiar with the process for dealing with such pages. Timmeh!(review me) 04:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

They're created in my userspace because that is the only way to edit in peace without being harassed by a band of 8-10 editors who don't like my layouts and have made a crusade of stalking my contributions. They claim to have community consensus, despite dissenting opinions, and have gone as far as trying to impose an illegal restriction on my edits - see here and here. Logically their vendetta doesn't hold much water - if they truly believe that their style preferences are also those of the community, then they need only step back and let some other editor revert when he comes across what he thinks to be a glaring travesty of the MoS. However, I think they have tainted any claims they might have had to impartiality by their obsessive behaviour. Rotational (talk) 08:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Can you please explain your keep close when "wp:v states "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.""? -- Jeandré, 2009-06-06t11:59z
- Wikipedia:Consensus: "Some exceptions supersede consensus decisions on a page. [...] Consensus decisions in specific cases do not automatically override consensus on a wider scale – for instance, a local debate on a WikiProject does not override the larger consensus behind a policy or guideline. The WikiProject cannot decide that for the articles within its scope, some policy does not apply, unless they can convince the broader community that doing so is right. [...] Wikipedia does not base its decisions on the number of people who show up and vote; we work on a system of good reasons." Wikipedia:Consensus and wp:v are policies. List of MXC episodes has no sources at all, not even to mention reliable, published, third party sources. -- Jeandré, 2009-06-06t14:25z

I was invited by Jason Rees to WPTC, so how can I contribute to the project? Are there things I need to know? Darren23 (talk) 13:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
