Thanks for the welcome message Just H and also for the comments. I have attempted to remove the advertising vibe from the entry but it could probably still use some work. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

110th Congress List

Hey, that list is really spiffy and useful already! Just wanted to say thanks for the good work on the 110th Congressional Table! Panchitaville 16:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Right on, I will see what I can do for the list over the weekend! Panchitaville 17:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your comment

I've been wondering who to give this picture to - it's too cool for school:

• Picture of the day at Wikimedia Commons

Thinking about it, this is my ideal vision of a Misplaced Pages administrator. Someone who integrates users with other users, users with parts of Misplaced Pages, and Wikpedia parts with parts. There are worse metaphors - the zipper is one of the most incredibly simple and effective inventions in human history! NinaOdell | Talk 15:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Hey man

How's it going. The 2006 New England Patriots Season page is going quite well. Remember to cite references in List of members in the 110th United States Congress and try to make it a featured list if possible (which will increase your chances in your RFA). Your showing consistency this month, and you can try to answer the RFA questions or even more, write out a sample RFA if you like. I will look over it and help you! Cheers!

I was born in Taiwan. Feel free to practice your Chinese on me... It wouldn't be much use if you don't know much though, lol.

I am currently trying to get Portal:China featured. Take a look at the portal and see if you think it meets the criteria, and vote whatever you think. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 03:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Joke check WP:AFD

Oh, okay. (plugs in sense of humor which was set aside for RC patrol) :-) Honestly, I just thought it was confusing - some people don't have the text of the test templates memorized (yet?) and wouldn't recognize the joke. Cheers, FreplySpang 17:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 18:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Don't overuse flags

Great edits! --Guinnog 00:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Please subst warning templates

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Will (Talk - contribs) 22:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryulong's RFA

FYI, you seem to have !voted on Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Ryulong 3 twice - and . You may want to strike one of the !votes or combine the two comments, as you see fit. --BigDT 04:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

2151

I am sorry but I have returned 2151 to a redirect. There are no pages for years beyond 2065 as there is not much that can be said about these years other than stating any anniversaries, fictional events or predicted astronomical events, all of which are shown on the respective century pages. Hope you understand. Also, 2150 is the page for the book of that name and not the year. Philip Stevens 08:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

AACP

Could you please take another look at AACP? I tried to improve the page. --Eastmain 18:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/Suneetha_T.V. that page is not linking properly. what is the problem with that? pls help —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mankaver (talk • contribs) 16:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

But the article is there, I can see it sometimes, and sometimes not, what is the problem? Mankaver 16:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Sir, you can see the article if you look at my contrib. Mankaver 16:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes Sir, I just created it half an hour earlier. 16:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Is it ok now? Or is the last fullstop creating some problem with the link? Mankaver 16:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Silas Kopf AfD

Useful posting, as his daughter uploaded an excellent image of one of his unusual pieces, part of a set, to include in the article. I'm pestering her for quality photos of another of his pieces, and she sounds willing. KP Botany 19:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. All in all, it's working out well for Misplaced Pages, though, an article called to attention, repaired a bit, sources provided, all done well. KP Botany 03:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

table with white text

In response to your post at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (technical), how does this look?

—EncMstr 07:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Are there ways to do without class? I'm confused. That's how I did it above.... Use of the style parameter is modern HTML; the other methods will soon fail to work as modern browsers are updated. As for width:

This table is half the available display width Try resizing the width of your browser to see how it behaves.
abc	def	ghi
jkl	mno	pqr
stu	vwx	yz

This table is 225 pixels wide and shouldn't resize as your browser width changes.
abc	def	ghi
jkl	mno	pqr
stu	vwx	yz

Content policy edits

Please make sure that you have wide consensus before editing our content policies. Thanks. Jkelly 01:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Please define the wideness of the consensus you speak of. Consensus seems to be wider for some people on Misplaced Pages than others, which is a shame considering that Misplaced Pages is generally seen as having a egalitarian reputation (I didn't see a little asterisk with a link to statements like yours next to "The 💕 Anybody Can Edit" statement on the front page.)

I don't agree with your edit, but I don't edit war, and from your tone, I assume you do not wish to try and find a middle ground. Have a pleasant evening.Just H 01:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

RE:

Please put new discussion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Real Social Dynamics (2nd nomination), and not an old archive. Thank you. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 00:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was just making sure that you knew where the new discussion was, since you commented on the old one. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 23:53, February 6, 2007

I don't think that linking to WP:JOU and calling it "the bible of quotes for all personalities" is any sort of sucking up. That is what it actually is. People on the deletionist side and the inclusionist sides will both cite Jimbo in defence of their argument. Jimbo has a lot of influence (obviously), so people have treated some of those quotes as decreed law. It also formed the basis for WP:UBM. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 21:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

We'll have to agree to disagree then. To me, treating Jimbo any more or less important than any other Wikipedian because of "who he is" goes against the very spirit of Misplaced Pages, and valuing his words for his name rather than the content of the words is just plain sucking up. Just H 01:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome

I just wanted to say thanks for the welcome to wikipedia. In the short time I've been here, I've done a lot of anti-vandalism, but haven't yet created my own article. I would like to get involved in expanding any articles having to do with juggling, however I do not have many printed references to include in any articles I may create. I have two questions:

(1) How can I join the anti-vandalism project on wikipedia? (2) How can I expand articles without printed references?

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Riana dzasta

Hi there; Just a quick question about your comment on Riana's RfA. You mention her comment after the second oppose, but the comment after the second oppose was from me. Just didnt want her to be penalized if there was something you disliked about something I said (poor thing is already suffering have an old timer like me nomming her as it is lol) :) Thanks Glen 02:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Just H, thanks for taking part in my RfA! I have tried to respond to your concerns here. I don't wish to influence your vote, but I'm all for open discussion :) Cheers, riana_dzasta 03:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. At the time, confusion was the main emotion I was feeling, so the incident is probably not entirely indicative of what sort of person I am :) I'm generally not a pushover - in my naivete, I actually believe I was standing up for what I believed in. Ah, what a newbie. Anyway, thanks for your comments, and I promise to take them on board. Take care! riana_dzasta 03:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

Thank You, Just H for your Support! Thank you for your support in my RfA, which closed at 111 / 1 / 2. I am humbled and rather shocked to see such kind comments and for it to reach WP:100. Please feel free to leave a note if I have made a mistake or if you need anything, I will start out slow and tackle the harder work once I get accustomed to the tools. Thank you once more, I simply cannot express in words my gratitude.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, David Mestel 21:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your comment to the survey

Hey, I noticed that you made this comment. That is why catalysts, like I try to be, are important to IRC channels. Often, I watch and participate in constructive policy and guideline disputes, discussions about improving and articles, and mostly off-topic nonsense and intelligent discussion, all usually imbued with Misplaced Pages culture. Furthermore, there are channels intended for tracking recent changes, such as #vandalism-en-wp, which I find essential.

Finally, public logging is intended to avoid making extemporal off-topic comments permanent. If you asked me, I would release my copyright on any Misplaced Pages-related discussion (permission is required, since it's copyrighted), and most others would probably also. If there's anyone that uses IRC for making binding decisions about blocking regulars, or canvassing RFAs, or making personal attacks, that's not ideal, but that's what I try to prevent: a high channel temperature and culture of a cabal. By the way, have you read the recent ArbCom statement on IRC channel usage? Gracenotes § 23:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: Question on Chinese Characters

Hello, if you use Windows XP or Vista there will be Chinese input either PRC, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Macau. I use "Chinese (PRC)" and I type the Hanyu pinyin characters into it and I select the word afterwards. I just typed it into the signature box with "Raw" characters checked. You can type Chinese characters into the Wiki, you won't have any problem. Terence Ong 恭喜发财 04:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Your editor review(s)

Hi, Just H. I noticed that both Misplaced Pages:Editor review/Just H 3 and Misplaced Pages:Editor review/Just H 4 are currently being transcluded to WP:ER. I'll let you decide which of the two you'd rather keep up, but I would suggest removing one of them :). Cheers, Dar-Ape 22:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi, Just H, I just wanted to thank you for your support on my RfA, which was successful with a final tally of 61/0/2. I'm honored at the trust the community has placed in me and hope my conduct as an administrator will justify that trust. If you have any comments about my use of the tools I would be glad to hear from you on my talk page. Thanks again! Heimstern Läufer 06:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_dzasta 08:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the neutral/weak support - being a born catastrophist, I can't stand it when things go too well :) Your comment helped even things out for me! Seriously, though, if you see me doing something that doesn't sit well with you, please feel free to bring it up. Cheers, – riana_dzasta 08:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Editor review comment

I left a comment at Misplaced Pages talk:Editor review/Just H 4. This is normally something I'd leave on a user talk page, but since the link was in your sig I thought maybe that's where you wanted feedback. Sorry if it's in the wrong place. Friday (talk) 01:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Why append time zone list to Daylight saving time?

Your recent edit to Daylight saving time has the effect of appending several lines to the page, most of them relevant to time zones rather than to daylight saving time. It's true that there are two lines at the end that say "Northern hemisphere countries or territories observing daylight saving time (DST)" and similar for the southern hemisphere, but these labels don't have any data associated with them so they're fairly useless; and even if this were fixed the information is already at the start of the page in a more-useful form (the thumbnail map). Would you mind reverting that change?

Thanks for your support in my recent RfA which passed unanimously - thus proving that you can indeed fool some of the people some of the time.

Comments on RfA comments

Hello JustH. I don't think it will serve much purpose for me to have that discussion within JuJube's RfA but I still want to comment on your note to the effect that "Pascal, it's the 'crats job to assess the validity ". While I sort of agree with you in principle, I think this actually doesn't happen much in reality. Furthermore, oppose votes tend to snowball on RfA and baseless oppose opinions on RfA create unnecessary frustration for the candidates. So I've made it a habit of mind to call out the particularly silly opposes as a way to preserve the little bit of sanity left in that process and, hopefully, to change people's habits in the long run. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 13:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
