Thanks in advance to anyone who reverts vandalism in my userspace, it'd get a little tedious if I thanked everyone on their talk page every time. Please click here to see and sign my Guestbook. Please click here to send me a message.

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Welcome to my user talk page!

• Always link to the text, image, or edit you want to discuss. When linking to an image, use a colon. For example, "]" produces "Image:Example.jpg".
• Don't forget to provide a proper edit summary for each and every edit, and a proper signature for each and every post to a talk page or notice board.
• Reply to interactive messages at the location of the original topic to not scatter talk all around, fracturing the discussion. I do have nearly all pages I have posted to recently on my Watchlist. If I missed a comment of yours, please drop me a short reminder with a link.
• Respect my babel boxes.
• If you're copying files from another project to Wikimedia Commons, be sure to use the CommonsHelper.
• If your text or image is lacking source, license, or permission, fix that instead of asking here what is wrong. There should be a message on your talk page explaining things in detail. Apologies for having to be so clear if this message is not related to the matter you would like to address.
• Post here if you want to reach me, or reply to a post below via the edit link above that post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Re: Request

Hi Jeff, I was aware of your response last month and it was definitely helpful. If I come across other image-related issues on Commons, I'll be sure to leave you a message. Thanks heaps for your input! Spellcast (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 17:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove that link to CVBS information? It looks like it was accidentally removed along with another link that was spam, which is why I put it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.238.115 (talk) 22:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right, I took KelleyCook's word that it was spam.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Your assistance please

Can you assist me in filing a request for mediation for Peter Yarrow? I have tried posting on the BLP noticeboard initially, and have gone through extensive discussion on the talk page. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Peter_Yarrow -- thank you, --Jkp212 (talk) 18:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I think it might be resolved w/o mediation.... I'll touch base again if I need more help.. Thanks! --Jkp212 (talk) 18:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Charles Lahr and Gene Krupa

I have added to these pages by including verifiable links which hereto were not there. I am not adding these links to make any point. Please assume good faith. Please do not remove it again. Charles Lahr and Gene Krupa have been deceased for decades so the BLP is not applicable in any event!John celona (talk) 19:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You're not advocating that known lengths of incarcerations be included in articles?   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

That's exactly what he's advocating. Edits on this topic should stop til the yarrow RfC is over. An editor who doesn't see it that way has undone your reversions to my edits on Krupa and Lahr. I don't want to violate 3-RR but I hope someone who's not in danger of doing that will reinstate your proper action. David in DC (talk) 19:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

David, thanks for the notice, but I'm evidently not seeing what you're seeing - I'm seeing that my edits and are still on top.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I am certainly advocating that where a verifiable link exists spelling out the sentence or time served of a livingperson, that other editors not be allowed to remove those links from the article as editors have done on the Peter Yarrow page on BLP grounds. Furthermore, since both Krupa and Lahr are deceased the BLP objections by those editors are not applicable to those articles. Nonetheless, 2 editors have seen fit to remove my verifiable links from those 2 pages, notwithstanding that the BLP is not applicable.John celona (talk) 19:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Please learn how threading works here at WP:TALK#Layout. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 20:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Please look at Krupa and Lahr Again. David in DC (talk) 01:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Done, thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

And again. Probably not worth the revert war to change yet again, your call. But another notation on the admin noticeboard, http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User_John_Celona from your perspective, might be nice. Thanks. David in DC (talk) 18:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

John celona stated that "The final solution is a hoax" in this edit concerning articles Holocaust and Holocaust denial. He has not backed down from that statement. Holocaust denial is uncivil and offensive.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

That was a sardonic comment in response to another users threats, as the context of that discussion would reveal.John celona (talk) 00:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sandbox

Strictly speaking, it's impossible to vandalise the sandbox. Mainly because it is self-cleaning, but also because we actually ask people to play there rather than elsewhere. Whilst it would be nice if they didn't delete the header, people often will. There are worse places they could be damaging. Please don't worry about it, and please don't report edits to the sandbox to AIV. Thanks! ➔ REDVEЯS is standing in the dark 23:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought there was an exception for defamation, and it hasn't been cleaned by OverlordQBot in over 39 hours, since 03:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC).   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Dongs

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC) —The preceding forge signed comment was actually added by 24.174.48.155 (talk) 01:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Your forgery is duly noted.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop reverting Johns edits to make a point.

John is a Newbie he has an excuse, But you have been around long enough to know better. I think the idea of including the length of the prison sentence on every article wherein the category of incarcerated celebrities applies is a very good idea, I do not think that Yarrow was a child molester but I do not allow myself to be angered by those that do. I would trust Yarrow to baby sit my grandchildren on any day or night.

Neither you or David have the right to be ordering John around pursuant to the Krupa page or any other page for that matter. So please chill out and take a closer look at your own behavior. You are letting yourself get sucked in to a fight that does not need to be fought. I think we should use the wiki dispute process to settle any and all disputes, don't you ?  : Albion moonlight (talk) 13:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with him about that but so what ? Misplaced Pages has no bussiness censoring peoples beliefs. You are just searching for ways to get rid of him and that is unacceptable :

Assuming "good faith"

Hello JEFF G, this is VASCO AMARAL from Portugal,

I have been in Misplaced Pages for about two years, left for about three months because i was fed up with the vandalism and returned now, to find it pretty much in the same state. Believe me, when i call somebody an idiot, i am 100% (not 99%) sure as to what they have been up to, and i will not stay put in this cases. I would very much appreciate if you let me deal with wikivandals my own way, you choose your own.

Regards from Portugal, have a nice week and a good 2008, VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 19:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your post, for fighting vandals, and for using Edit Summaries when doing so. Would you please consider calling such a person a "vandal", rather than an "IDIOT", and letting your actions speak louder than your Edit Summaries? Doing so would make it appear that you are criticizing the person's actions, rather than their intelligence. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Username change

Hello, Jeff G.

Thank you for your concern regarding my user name. The Wikilink you provided did not work.

I do not mean to sound argumentative, but I would like to keep my current user name. I like it. I am somewhat ignorant about the way things work in Misplaced Pages, so help me figure this out: were there any editors who felt threatened by my user name or otherwise uncomfortable with it? I assure you that I have no intention of stalking anyone. I came up with this name in jest, not malice. I hope you will rethink your request. Screen stalker (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the bad link, I replaced it.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
