My Request for Adminship

Thank you for your last-minute support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me. By the way interesting song to link to, at least you didn't choose Katrina and the Waves!--Nilfanion (talk) 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words. I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be. Again, thank you. –Luna Santin

Despite the delay, thanks for your trust. I won't let you down. Luna Santin 12:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Duff_Goldman_with_cakes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Duff_Goldman_with_cakes.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 02:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not the tag that's the problem, it's that the image is replaceable. That is, there seems to be nothing special about the image that someone taking a free image of the person couldn't replace. We want free images, not copyrighted images. --MECU≈talk 02:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning, as well as for your kind comments accompanying your !vote. 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 20:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey And, if I, one of your fellow-travellers, can offer something To make this journey of yours even more fascinating and enjoyable This is my assistance with anything I can help.

Re:Image

It may be good to state where you got the actual image from and a copy of the e-mail in the "Licensing" section. Cbrown1023 01:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The email is from Mary Alice of Charm City Cakes. I can forward to an admin to verify this. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 01:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

DYK!

On 26 January, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Duff Goldman, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Duff Goldman with cakes.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Duff Goldman with cakes.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 22:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

The image has been deleted by author's request.--Jersey Devil 01:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Talk:FrontPageMag.com#I_strongly_object_to_this_deletion up for deletion. Travb (talk) 03:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it was a re-direct to the main article. Thanks. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 00:45, 7 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 07:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for watching out for me :) Postoak 00:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi, Junglecat. Just venturing into the jungle here to say thanks for your support at my RfA. Great turnout, and a humbling level of support. Thanks again. Bubba hotep 20:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

question

I saw that you are a conservative Wikipedian. Would you like to join Conservapedia as a editor? Conservapedia is looking for good editors and Admins. Please send me your email if you want to join Conservapedia. If you feel reticient about giving out your email address you can simply create a new account at hotmail and yahoo so you don't risk getting a lot of junk mail.

Your Userpage

Your userpage is in Category:User templates or a related category. Please take it out of this category or find the userbox that puts your userpage in this category. If you know how to then <noinclude></noinclude> the category in the userbox and message me afterwards so that we can see the effect on the purged category. -PatPeter 22:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Because of WP:StS rule I have put the following userboxes in subpages:

• User:Junglecat/marriage
• User:Junglecat/conservative
• User:Junglecat/army
• User:Junglecat/NPOV
• User:Junglecat/Bush
• User:Junglecat/Israel
• User:Junglecat/Electronic

Reply

No problem for the help. One quick question before I go into the explanation: What does per mean?

But StS stands for Source to Short(cut), Script to Short(cut), etc. The goal of this developing Wikiproject is to first have all userboxes have something that looks like this on them:

<noinclude><br clear="all"/>

== Rules ==

*'''DO NOT''' copy the source code of this userbox onto your userpage, your userpage is not a ].

== Usage ==

*Put <nowiki>{{User AGF}} on your userpage if you want this userbox.</nowiki>

]

</noinclude>

This example was from Template:User AGF.

The reason for this as you can read is that new users copy the source code of userboxes instead of using the shortcut, this causes problems when the new user puts his/her userpage in a category like Category:User templates, thus destroying categories for templates.

Here look here

I do not know if there are still that many users there, I have been waiting for Misplaced Pages to cache the page, but if there still are you can see there are more users than templates! I also do not know if this category is still sorted but look here (CG:LUT). This is a work of beauty. All the userspace LUTs are in one section.

If you want to join the project dedicated to cleaning up userspace with subpages and putting Rules and Usage sections on Userboxes go here.

If you want to join the project dedicated to cleaning up all categories go here.

In the case you join WP:CC then feel free to use User:PatPeter/youruserpage

RfA thanks

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. - Michael Billington (talk) 07:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit count list

Sure, I don't mind, thanks. - Crockspot 17:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Broadband loveliness...

You're welcome! LOL, I have to laugh, because I always think others beat me to it. It's kind of a game, especially when you try to beat MartinBot. I suppose this is one of the things that makes RC patrol fun ... keep up the good work yourself!  :-) Antandrus (talk) 02:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:John_O_Creighton.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:John_O_Creighton.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali 19:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Baptist group

There now is a proposed project to deal specifically with articles relating to Baptists at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Baptists. If you would be interested in joining such a group, please indicate as much by adding your name there. Thank you. John Carter 19:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello Junglecat, thank you for supporting my RfA!
I was promoted with a final tally of 68/12/0.
Also, please wish a Happy Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen. Vivat Regina!

Isreal (sic) userbox

Thanks for making the userbox, but it is misspelled. Israel is the second name of the father of the eponymous 12 tribes. Iosef aetos 18:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the userbox, this change is much appreciated. Iosef aetos 16:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion

You're welcome! Funny, had this edit tab open, and forgot to save, but you noticed first. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 00:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Israel Userbox

I messed up trying to make a category for the Israel Userbox, maybe you know how to fix it, I don't know very much wiki markup. Iosef aetos 18:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

UBX Userbox Israel

Thanks! that's a good idea. Iosef aetos 16:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Junglecat, thank you for your kind words in support of my RfA. And for calming the waters some in the discussion of my sig. Please feel free to drop me a note any time if there is anything that I might be able to do for you. Pastordavid 15:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from someone else

...for your comment. Believe me, it's good to know there are others who understand. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 02:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

My Rfa

Hello, Junglecat. Thank you very much for your support and your nice comment on my recent Rfa, it succeeded! I feel honoured to have earned your trust and hope to live up to your expectations. If you see me doing anything inappropriate, please let me know :) Have a great day! Best, PeaceNT 11:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Burrowing Owl

I know you already supported, but User:Wsiegmund has used his software to edit the Burrowing Owl shot I took...if you care to take another peek.--MONGO 05:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• Wsiegmund did a good job. Looks very nice. I added my comment there. Even without the enhancement, the photo is still a great capture. Myself, I am starting to use my camera more now. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 22:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

About My "Edit"

Back on May 20th, you left me a message about how I deleted content from an article. That was not I per say, but rather someone else on my laptop (My username is Halladay). I'll be sure to make sure my sister doesn't mess things up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.85.162.110 (talk • contribs)

		Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
		Hi Junglecat, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VS 00:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD/State terrorism by the United States (sixth nomination)

Please feel free to ask questions if you wish to clarify any doubts. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 04:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

JungleCat...you also seem to have concernes about the way this Afd was closed. I am considering an Rfc on Mailer diablo's poor communication on this matter, his lack of sufficient explanation regarding how he came to his decision of closing such a huge discussion in only 7 minutes (since the last edit he did) and his evasiveness overall. Let me know what you think about this matter when you get a chance.--MONGO 11:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

If you do file an RfC, please do let me know. Thanks. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 13:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Still under consideration. Mailer was surprisingly adolescent in his responses. He shouldn;t be closing contencious Afd's if he isn't going to take the time to read the comments and be ready to maturely respond to questioning about his actions.--MONGO 04:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The community put forth their opinions about the article, should it be removed or renamed, etc. I doubt very seriously that he read it. By his attitude, he didn't take it seriously. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 11:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

From what I can see on his userpage, youth appears to be a factor. I'm more concerned now with the rapid deterioration of the article in question. These guys have 20 odd refs for one sentence in the opening...POINT is rather obvious. They have taken over the discussion board...it is mostly now a mudslinging fest. These are just but a couple of reasons why this article is hopelessly never going to be anything salavagable.--MONGO 11:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Duff_Goldman_of_Charm_City_Cakes.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Duff_Goldman_of_Charm_City_Cakes.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 00:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

...for the compliment! It was fun to compile those. Have a look at Moreschi's as well. There's some good stuff in that "Misplaced Pages essays" category. I see from your user page that you know the Gulf coast; I miss those beaches, from back when I lived in that area. White sand, perfect and pristine, warm water ... nicest beaches I've ever seen in my life. Keep up the great work and have a nice weekend! Antandrus (talk) 00:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Check your edit

Yup, I noticed that after I reverted. There were multiple IP addresses vandalizing Sport in Australia multiple times, and I accidentally reverted to a vandalized edit. I just restored a non-vandalized version. Thanks for the notice, though. Danelo 23:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I replied on your page. Take care! JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 23:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

You distruption of the page and false claims

Can you point out the OR? Everthing is cited and verifibable. There are no claims originated by any editors in section-- nothing original, just reporting on the notable views of established academics on the question. Your continued blanked sourced material that was the product consensus--editors working on both sides of the POV fence of that article is reprehensible. For you to come in and blank all work, and get the page locked is akin to vandalism. But, why do you make up such blatent lies to do so? OR? WHERE?! You have just destoryed whatever reputation you had as a decent and credible editor on this page. Shame on you!! I expect you to at least explain your abhorent behavior, as I will continue to pursue your vicious crime in this matter that I find rather dispicable worthy of the greatest contempt possible.Giovanni33 00:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

My response is on the talk page. My suggestion (and I would appreciate) is to keep the talk there. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 00:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but unless your response is to apologize for your rather inexcusable behavior there is not much concern for what you happen to appreicate as you have sunken to the bottom of ceasepool for consideration as a decent editor. I assumed good faith and you proved yourself worthy of disgust and contempt. As I said, this blatant vandalism on your part will be something that will stay with you from unless you make a clear retraction of these events and a sincere apology for the great damange you have done.Giovanni33 00:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm waiting. Where is the OR?!?! You make your claim to justify your blanking a well referenced section against consensus, and disrupted the page to get it locked after your blanking, on the basis that it was OR. Now you have some explaining to do, lest you admit to being a vandal? Again, I'm waiting. I posted on the talk page that you have a lot of explaining to do.Giovanni33 00:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

First off, let's get something straight here. Your impatient demands are not appropriate. If I had to walk away from this computer for a few minutes, then so be it. You shouldn't harass me for not jumping to respond to you when I haven't even seen your question yet. Second, I saw your accusation. I do not appreciate being called a vandal when I am looking to protect the reputation of Misplaced Pages (even if you disagree with me). Third, if you are going to carry on a conversation, I would appreciate brief responses. I do not need a "War and Peace" response in regards to your opinions. Please keep your replies reasonable. Can you agree to that? If not, then I will not waste my time this evening. Thank you. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 01:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

STILL WAITING. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ASNWER? The longer you take, the more you cement the veracity of the wiki-crimes I accuse you of. Yes, I accuse you. If you have any shred of validity to your blanking over and over the work of many editors with what you did to that entire section, now is the time to speak up, or else your continued silence on the matter only condemns you further. Again, WHERE is the OR?!Giovanni33 01:59, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
