userpage discussions

Hi, I see you left a note with Jvian already about your userpage. I left both of them a note and moved their discussions to their talk pages. I left the one that you left originally, just rv'd the two latest ones. They were moved to User talk:Jvian & User talk:Eduardo Cuellar respectively. I just wanted to give you a heads up on what I did. Cheers. ∞Who?¿? 08:33, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

my userpage

Actually, it was a "friendly vandal" who came through and tweaked the layout. It's always looked fine on my screen! :-) I'm not up for going around and doing rigorous testing on different setups, so I suppose I should simplify it. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Nomen nudum

You marked nomen nudum for speedy deletion. But the article was in fact quite correct. Please take more care. Gdr 15:37:18, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

At the time, it was patent nonsense. ‡ Jarlaxle 20:17, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. The revision you marked for speedy deletion was quite correct, as a simple Google search would have told you. Gdr 21:42:33, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

Oops. My mistake. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:50, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome

I don't need to say anything else ... nice to be welcomed, thank you. WP can be a place of overwhelming "cliqueness", where sensible edits are instantly removed by "members" for no legitimate reason other than the poster is not a member. I will work to change that, and my undesireable activities will cease shortly, once I have had enough fun with certain members.

Thanks again. oops --Zippydeedoodah 22:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Dambrath

Thank you for the modifications on Dambrath :-) Reply to David Latapie 11:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

No problem. ‡ Jarlaxle 17:48, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Problems with font

Hi there, I saw your complaint on the am.wiki, I haven't actually tried the solution on that page so I can't vouch for that one, but there is another solution you can link to from the Main Page, just look for the English words "Can't see the font?" and try that method...

If that doesn't work, it could be a Unicode issue with your windows or browser system...

Ah, thanks. ‡ Jarlaxle 23:42, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Sandbot malfunction

That was caused by a page move. Please be aware that Sandbot is a valid bot, and any concerns over hiccups and such should be directed to my user talk page. Thank you. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

About translating

Hello, you welcomed me the other day and I thank you.

But I have a question about style in the Misplaced Pages and I didn't found in the Manual of Style, and I don't know where to ask someone else, so you are the one closest.

Right now I'm working on a project to have info about bands from Latin America in the Misplaced Pages, but I don't know where I should translate and where not, can you explain me?

Should I translate the name of the band? I saw some bands with their names translated, but I also saw others without it translated.

Should I translate the name of the albums and songs of the band? I haven't seen any bands with this translated, but in the articles I made I translated them.

Thank you very much and sorry for bothering, and sorry for forgeting about signing my message. --Nicanor5 23:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

New and improved

From my talk page:

Lord Voldemort How's that for a signature? ‡ Jarlaxle 19:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

It's not too bad, except I like having a bigger link for my talk page. I'll stick with what I have for the time being, but may opt for something more like your suggestion in the future. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort 19:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Tasks at hand

Jarlaxle:

As part of your unbanning and probationary agreement, this is the list of tasks that you are to complete.

• Partner with a mentor from Mediation/Mentorship
• A formal apology given to Linuxbeak, Psychonaut, Anthere, NicholasT and anyone else who you may have caused harm
• Repair any damage caused by acts of sockpuppetry/impersonation on other Wikis - Specifically, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
• A probationary period for as long as your defunct ArbCom case originally had set as the penal period (one year)

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 06:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Is it stipulated that these tasks are to be completed before JarlaxleArtemis begins to edit articles and other Misplaced Pages pages? If not, how long does he have to complete these tasks before he is considered to be in violation of his probationary agreement? And how will the mentors/administrators determine whether he has, in fact, identified all sockpuppet and impersonation accounts? Will IP checks be run on accounts suspected of being controlled by him? —Psychonaut 23:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Mentorship

Hi Jarlaxle,

As part of our unbanning agreement, you have been assigned to mentorship. Please see WP:MENTCOM. Thanks, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 01:38, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Welcome back

Jarlaxle, I just want to say welcome back. I'm glad your ban has been lifted, and I hope everything works out well. Regards, Ann Heneghan 22:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Greetings from the United Federation of Planets

Hi, I am one of your mentors. Since you also think "Paramount are a bunch of a****** to cancel Star Trek: Enterprise", I think we can get along well. You know how to contact me :) --Cool Cat 23:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello there, buddy!

Hello there, it's Spum here. I've been assigned to you as a mentor, so if you need any help, feel free to message me either on IRC, Jabber, or the WikiPedia. As part of your mentorship i am here to make sure you're not up to your old tricks, whilst at the same time, i'm here to welcome you back to the wikipedia and I sincerely hope that you will be able to go back to making contributions , and become a part of the community.

Hey, we all make mistakes, it's how we correct hose mistakes when we're given a second chance that matters! So, enjoy yourself, and hope to see some good contributions as before from you.

Regards, Spum

Recent edits' formatting

I realize you've been gone a while: in the interim, there is consensus on the "External Links" vs. "External links" (that's why Bluebot is allowed to go around fixing them); specifically, it's been decided (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28headings%29#Standard_headings_and_ordering) that "External links" will exclusively be used. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:17, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I see. I'm disappointed by that consensus. Except for articles ( ie. the), conjunctions, prepositions, and possibly some other word categories, the words in headings are supposed to be capitalized. <font color="black">&rArr;</font> <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> <font color="darkgreen">Jarlaxle</font><font color="goldenrod">Artemis</font></font> 05:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

... You might want to look at the capitalization section, then. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

We need to talk.

Hi Jarlaxle,

We need to talk, preferably over AIM. Some sockpuppets from your area are turning up and they are still being disruptive. I do not think you would be so daft as to continue with your previous activities, but I want to make sure. Some members of the ArbCom have expressed some skepticism in your return, and I do not want them to think that these socks are of your own doing. I'm sorry that I have to keep a check on you like this, but I'm sure you can understand my frustration.

Take care, and don't forget your assignments.

Regards, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 21:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Not a hoax

Would you believe that Neuva Germania is actually not a hoax? Check out ]. Ifnord 22:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Unbanning requirements

Hello, Jarlaxle.

I previously mentioned that I wouldn't give you any specific timescale on your unbanning, however, it has been a while since you were unbanned. As such, I am now giving you an assignment. The written apology that you agreed to as part of your unbanning will be due no later than December 15th at 00:00 UTC. A late submission will be allowed, but you will be banned from editing starting at December 15th with the exception of your user space.

Thank you for your cooperation. So far you have proven to be under control. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 02:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Forgotten Realms Project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

• A consistent content
• Use of templates
• Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

• The project is located here
• The Geographical index of Toril is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the Halruaa entry.

Main contributors are presently

• David Latapie
• Poulsen

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
