Jamie, I have attempted to style it after many other File Storage services I have reviewed on Wikipedia. If there is anything else you feel I need to modify, please let me know as soon as you can.

A request
Hi Jamie. I noticed you were the only opposer in my RfA to further explain on my talk page your already very informative and helpful !vote. I hope it's not asking too much of you to request a review of my edits since my RfA at my editor review. I'd like to get as much input as possible on how I've improved since my RfA and how I can further improve, especially concerning the main issues (DougsTech, AfD participation, responding to opposition) that were brought up. If you have time, I'd really appreciate a review. Thanks. Timmeh (review me) 00:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll look into that and might be able to provide a review. Glad to know that my comments were helpful. :-) Best, be kind to newcomers00:40, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hey Jamie, just reminding you that you have two weeks left to provide a review if it's not too much trouble. I really would appreciate one, especially from you because of your detailed criticisms and advice in the past. Timmeh (review me) 00:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, sorry but at this point, I really can't promise to do a review. RL is about to become really busy for me, too. I could just do a relatively cursory ER for you, but whenever I do something like that, I always prefer instead to do a more thorough job. When I come on Wikipedia I generally do maintenance and some editing, so things like this usually slip my mind. Two weeks gives me some time, though, we'll see. :) Hope everything's going well with your editing endeavors. JamieS93 18:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

You have e-mail. ceranthor 16:00, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Jamie, noticed you were online as you were the last admin to pop up on my watch list.
- I've blocked for 24 hours, since he appears to have broken 3RR after two warnings. You're fine since you only made 3 reverts. The reverting was reasonable, too, since the content Svsreeram added was promotional, but in the future you may wish to leave a more informative edit summary in case the user simply doesn't understand you.

Requested move James Anaya
Thanks JamieS93 for so promptly responding to request. All that happened is that I received e-mail notice of James Anaya's arrival in Australia, in which he was referred to only as James Anaya, with link to his biography page referring to himself as James Anaya.
On doing Wikisearch I found no article for James Anaya and only one for

Thanks for your participation in my recent RfA. I will do my very best not to betray the confidence you have shown me.

I toned it down.
I did tone down the rhetoric on my warning. The user is currently continuing the streak of creating non contextual articls past your requests. I do feel the level of warning was warranted however as I see one person prior to you counseled him on the same thing and four articles later we were still having the same issues. I was not trying to bite him though and nonsense was probably unnec. harsh.
- Yeah, a warning is definitely warranted in this situation, since I just noticed that he's continuing to create a group of incomplete articles, and apparently not checking his talkpage. Not sure about this case; I usually try letting some time elapse in case the author didn't realize what they were doing, but it may call for either improving or deleting a big group of pages after some time has passed. I'd usually rather save articles than delete them, but I'll just keep an eye on this user and hopefully will be able to eventually deal with it (if I'm still around). As I view it, it doesn't exactly hurt the encyclopedia to let a bunch of short articles stay in the mainspace for an extra hour (unlike attack pages or copyvios), because I'd rather the author have a chance to realize their mistake.

Undeletion request
Hi. Please could you undelete Talk:British Birds Rarities Committee\FAC? This page exists to enable a discussion on the outstanding points resulting from a recent failed FA nomination. The FA nomination as now been closed, and so users cannot edit that page. There are three editors waiting to add contributions on topic within the discussion, but they now don't have anywhere to make those contributions. If there is a better way of achieving the same result, please let me know what that is. Thanks SP-KP (talk) 21:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, I've restored it. As long as somebody has a decent use for it, the page doesn't have to be deleted. :) From an outsider's perspective, it just looked like an unnecessary copy of the FAC; sorry about the trouble. Can't think of any other method of doing what you described, since a sub-page would probably work fine. BTW, I moved the page from "\" to "/", since subpages are formatted with a forwardslash. Let me know if you have questions. Best, JamieS93 21:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for deleating the page that I requested.--
Thanks for the grammar fixing on Strawberry Swing. I am planing to make it a real article either on the 14 (when it is released) or when it charts.--
- Yeah, I'd say it would be best to create the article on the day (or 1 day before, 21:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Alright then the 14 it is. (I hope this works because almost every article that I make eventually gets deleated)--
- Well, yes. In this case, there's no guarantee that it will be kept in the end. ;) IMO it's best to create an (at least temporary) article for the sake of readers who are interested in the subject. The single might be successful, or might not. And if it turns out that the notability is not 21:26, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
That made me feel better thanks. However, Im pretty sure that the article will chart (after all it is a Coldplay song). Oh and one more thing, If you sign my Signature page you can get a free barnstar that I made!--
Thanks for the signature and remember, if you ever want the barnstar, feel free to take it.--
- I just read reliable sourcing, deserves an article. And if it doesn't chart, people can talk about it and nuke the page if necessary. ;) But make sure that you have a) reliable sources about "Strawberry Swing", and b) be prepared for the possibility that it might lack notability (later on) for its own long-term article. Best, JamieS9323:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your opinion. I absolutly agree with you. In fact your opinion and idea about readers first could help me out if this artilce comes under attack. And yes I already have a very good source-Rolling Stone.com. Once the full protection expires. I will make it an article. (even if I have to Ignore some rules).--

Subhuti Dharmananda, Michael Tierra, Christopher Hobbs
Please reconsider. The only credential for Dharmananda, apart from having a degree and owning a company, would be teaching at "Platonic school of Herbal Studies". The other "faculty members", Michael Tierra and Christopher Hobbs (herbalist) have been added in 2007 by KSvaughan2 as a part of the same advertisement campaign. These people are simply a company of practitioners trying to promote themselves. This is a blatant ad. There are thousands of such practitioners. They would belong to a page "List of alternative medicine practitioners in California", if such page existed. Btw. Tierra and Hobbs are both speedy candidates (I didn't tag them yet). Kokot.kokotisko (talk) 07:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- The purpose of speedy deletion is generally for cases where deletion doesn't require reasoning, debate or agreement among editors. To be honest, this sounds like a point that has to be persuaded. You could be very right in your assessment of those articles (I personally haven't done a notability search), but the Dharmananda article is not a speedy candidate as it stands. G11 is primarily used for two purposes: 1) alleviating content that has a strong AfD is the next option. Present your rationale at AfD, and that way you can get the input of others. I read the article again and reconsidered the speedy decline, but I still hold to my initial decision. I hope that clears things up. Best, JamieS9313:01, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your explanation, it's been a long time since I did something on WP. Ksvaughan2, herself an initiated webmistress with an online store, seems to have PR reasons only for being a WP editor. She carries out her own business presentation on her user page, which is of course completely O.K., but for this reason or that, she also keeps adding to WP her herbalist buddies from California. Nobody cares about them enough to edit them, but I seem to care enough to AfD them. No. 1 US ethnobotanist is (objectively) James_A._Duke. If her intention is to improve WP in general, why doesn't she begin with him? Just for reference, this is a (partial) list of herbal practitioners in e.g. London [2]. 140.109.226.67 (talk) 00:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Irish Countrysports and Country Life
Jamie,
I would like to ask you specfically how you reckoned our Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine piece lacked notability. I have reviewd some of your own submissions compared to ours and on a simple browser count ICS&CL comes out well ahead of them!
However I consider ICS&CL is notable because not only is it Ireland's premier hunting, shooting, fishing and country lifestyle magazine but also Ireland's longest continuously published magazine of its type or in fact any type. Although it serves a primarily Irish market through its companion portal www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com it serves a fairly large international audience who wish to know about country sports in Ireland.

a question
Hi jamie, I had written a page on Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi and it was deleted by you. the reason you gave was G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: also, mostly a copyright infringement of http://www.2020vp.com/aboutus/index.php. How can one get around this? I am working with Dr. Eslambolchi on creating his Wiki page and we have not had much success so far as everytime it gets deleted. You can email me at [email protected] for further clarification. Would appreciate a speedy response. Thank you
- Hi there. On Wikipedia, our main goal is to write a "open content website, so all contributions must be in compliance with with the GFDL. This, along with the fact that the text was promotional, is the reason that I deleted the page.

Question
"In several cases, he has participated in situations and–for lack of a better description–only made them worse (adding drama, unnecessary contention, etc.) This is not what I want to see in an admin. The current (#1) oppose is an example of this"
You have stated this [3]. I was wondering if there were any specific comments in that RfB that do the above, or are you referring to all of them? I ask simply because I do not remember any drama from that specific RfB (there was an RfB that was very drama filled about the same time, however). Ottava Rima (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- It's not one particular comment, but the persistence of them all. I'm all for pointing out faulty RfX rationales and bluntly/politely giving somebody "what for" with a particularly weird oppose, but Matt unfortunately took this to an extended level that became unhelpful. People like to throw around the "badgering" term too much, but I think this was an example of it. I think his comments only made the situation, an already hectic RfB, a more contentious place. I agreed with Anonymous Dissident at oppose #28. Matt's behavior in Julian's RfB is only an example of my gut feel, and I don't think I'd oppose over that issue alone. I'll have to think over this one, but I do agree with OwenX that his behavior there (and for me, in general from what I've seen) is concerning. Best, JamieS93 13:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't mean the above. I can understand the above. What I mean - were there any ANI, AN, WT:B, etc, threads on the matter that I may have missed? That is normally where the drama tends to go, and I only remember MBisanz's RfB going into that level. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:49, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Nah, I don't think so. The RfB was only contained within itself (no outside ANI threads), but it was just especially "high-activity" because Julian is so well-known. And a very well-known editor in a split-opinion RfX inevitably attracts drama and dispute from both sides. I actually think that MBisanz's RfB wasn't as stressful/drama-causing with the candidate, even though there was a 13:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. Perhaps I just glaze over at the RfX and pay more attention to the noticeboards and that is why I see the MBisanz's RfB as dramatic. Who knows. Anyway, thanks for clarifying - I thought I was missing a large chunk of any dispute. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:08, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

It would be nice for the neutrals to put up some questions so that there can be a few more answers completed by the end of the first day.

- I wonder what was the motivation behind the request for blanking? Was the editor embarrassed about being wrong? Seems that it would have been easier to just add a comment like, "Whoops, it turns out there was a military academy there for one year." Instead, he made work for you, and piqued undue interest from me. Very odd. -- Thekohser 15:40, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I spent SOOO long on it and to find it deleted really set me off. It was my first ever page that I created and since I was a statewide student representative actually A PART of this organization it really reflected badly that you deleted it out of no where. I finally discovered just now why you deleted it and you said because "it was a direct copy off of a powerpoint presentation" ON OUR OWN SITE! Well, I didnt know I had to give my own organization kudos for something we created. Furthermore, I wouldnt know how to source it anyway.

THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, recognize us as a legal entity. I sincerely hope I misunderstood what you meant by "Notability and Verifiability." If the only thing that was need was a simple citation to our studentsenateccc.org website then so be it. Why would you delete something instead of just copying and pasting the link in there where it needs to go?? I mean, you went through all the trouble of LOCATING it... why not just place it in there?? Can you please just put it back and put the link where it needs to go? Or replace the page, and I will go and do it? It really is no big deal. I just dont know all the codes and stuff that I used to edit the page. It took me like LITERALLY 8 HOURS to do it.
- Sorry, I hadn't gotten back to you yet. Let me try to explain this from the ground up.
- The entire Wikipedia website is under the copyright violationto that external website.
- Your article Student Senate for California Community Colleges was heavily copied from this url(I found it through a Google search). Since that url does not appear to state that it's under a GFDL-compatible license, we assume that it's fully copyrighted, like many, many websites are.
- Even if you give a link or attribution to a website that you copied from, it's still not acceptable to have large portions of copyrighted text in articles. Please see WP:NFC#Unacceptable usefor info.
- I'm sorry that you had to work on this text to have it deleted—I really am sorry. But it still looks like it was a copyright violation, so I'm afraid we can't allow it; it's not just my own opinion, this is a legal matter. Btw, just so you know: whenever you edit a page, there is a notice right above the "save page"/"show preview" buttons that says: Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted ... You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You may not have noticed this, I understand, but you were already warned about the copyright issue.
- Also, I'm not sure if the student senate is "notable" or not – again, it's not my own opinion, but instead I'm going by the Wikipedia guidelines laid out here: 13:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Jamie, I SINCERELY appreciate your candor and warmth in what you wrote. I know it wasn't personal. I also understand better now thank you. I do want to know if you can at least email me the coding of the page so that I may redo it with all the necessary edits as per your request. This will help me save hours and hours of work I would have to redo since I am not a computer savy individual. Secondly, (just FYI, the powerpoint presentation I took the large portions of the article from, is not copywritten... and neither is the website). In fact, the powerpoint was written by a dear and close friend and colleague of mine that was ecstatically DELIGHTED that I used her presentation. Her name is Vice Chancellor Linda Michalowski. I am no lawyer, but if the powerpoint she created, that I used for this article, is NOT copywritten, and I indeed ALSO give her credit for writing it, AND I ALSO put enough "reliable/trustworthy" website references in the article, then can it be reposted? Please help me out. I am just a college student really trying to give the students of California a voice as a student leader. I do thank you and have a wonderful weekend. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.121.244.102 (talk) 07:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Camborne Town Band
Hi, I see that you have deleted this article as a copyvio. I seem to recall that there were versions of this that were not - could you check the history for me and see if I recall correctly? Thanks. DuncanHill (talk) 15:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well, the article was originally split from a section of the Camborne town article. Another user tagged the page as a copyvio, because a good section was copied from [4]. Turns out that the lead of the article was not in violation, though. At the time of deletion, I thought I had searched certain phrases of the lead and it turned up on another copyrighted website. Looks like I was probably wrong there, so I've undeleted the page and left the good content. JamieS93 16:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Many thanks - the strange thing is I was sure that the article had been around a lot longer! Maybe I was remembering the section on the Camborne page. Anyway, thanks again. DuncanHill (talk) 17:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Why was my speedy deletion request declined? I just got done manually changing all the pages the template was transcluded to:
- Sure, Done. :) When you first tagged the redirect, I went to WhatLinksHere, and it looked like the page was transcluded in several locations. I declined since there wasn't a compelling reason for deleting a template redirect that was still in use. Thanks for fixing those transclusions, now the redirect is done and deleted.

- Actually, while I do want to see the image I believe it may have been deleted for copyright reasons. Perhaps it would not be appropriate to ask an admin to send me a copy if there are copyright issues. I will just imagine an ugly dog instead. Sam Barsoom 00:03, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

RichGirl
Your action of not deleting
- AfD consensus for deleting an article per which do not have a title are deleted and recreated a few months later when it's sufficiently confirmed and discussed in reliable sources. Thus, that AfD is moot. The RichGirl album article was originally deleted in August. Now it's October, with the release supposedly slated for November. One-month off albums are not commonly deleted via AfD, or at least there's a good chance that the previous decision is now "old consensus". You're right that the article lacks RSs, and maybe the sources aren't out there (I haven't really searched). I'd rather have fresh consensus in this case, purely due to the time lapse - I encourage you to open a second AfD, and we'll see how it turns out. :) It's quite possible that it's best off deleted, although I still tend to think that G4 didn't apply here because we're relying on consensus that was partially dependent on the "future" aspect of the subject.

Wikiproject After great success with Marco Polo (and his sheep!), Dry ice went pretty well. USS Massachusetts (BB-59) was challenging, and with Monkey, the project faded: Battle of the Nobles and Oil got little attention. |

Even if you make one, simple edit - if 100 people do that, we'll have made significant progress, and we all benefit by learning from each other. |

Father Aengus Finucane died on 6 October at the age of 77; he was an Irish priest who did lots of work helping refugees of world conflicts, and was the head of the charity Concern.

Instead of archiving it like you did, can you please merge it, as I asked in the comments section? It needs to be merged, it was created by accident separate of the main case.— Dædαlus Contribs 00:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I got a bit mixed up at first, until I realized that this was the IP's first block. The case was a duplicate and seems unnecessary, so I've redirected it to Mdphd2012's case and made note of the IP's block at Mdphd's archive. I didn't delete it because it was mentioned in 66.134's block summary, and redirects are best to retain history, and makes it easier to track down what happened.

Move
I placed the deletion tag since I would've moved the page anyways, but there is that nagging issue that is all to well known. I don't think it would be controversial since most people wouldn't look at the site, and other pages on this site have those accent marks.
- Yeah, RM is always the safest method, but I'd be fine with deleting the redirect to let you go ahead with the move. Since both are linked over multiple pages, it would be best to get the delete/move done over a short period of time. You online? Regards, JamieS93 17:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
UnBlocking request for IP Addresses of BOLT Browser
Hi,
I am Lokesh Joshi and work for Bitstream Inc. (http://boltbrowser.com). We have a very popular mobile browser called BOLT Browser which works on server client architecture. This has minimal load is on the client (mobile phone), and user can experience the Desktop Like browsing experience. For more information please see http://boltbrowser.com.
Recently many of our users reported the following error from Wikipedia while editing the content:
"174.132.56.156 has been disabled by the following reason(s): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or xombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia."
I request you please consider BOLT as legitimate cloud computing based mobile browser. This is not at all an open proxy and users will have to use BOLT client to work through the BOLT servers. More over the originating IP of the handset is available in the headers, so the individual user can be tracked in abuse cases.
Please let me know the steps we can do for the same. I can send the list of the IPs owned by BOLT Browser.

IP reverting edits
Hey Jamie, I don't want to be a pain in the neck, but I have an IP that is making redundant edits on The Chariot (band) and I thought I would notify you so we can avoid an edit war. I have already undone his edit once--it is a genre/style issue, go figure--and he promptly reverted that. Basically, the IP is making it say "Christian metalcore band" when I believe it should be "Christian metal band"; I believe the genre mentioned in the lead should always be a broad definition and then have style goes in the infobox, where it already says metalcore. Thanks, -- Noj r (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jamie, Would you please link "Vancouver chamber choir" to "Vancouver Chamber Choir"?

Hi, this is a comment about taking further actions to specify "Siberians" so it makes sense.

Hello Jamie. Before I discuss the subject, I just want to say that I haven't meet you before I started getting involved in RfA's, but it's apparent to me you're a very respectable figure. So it's a pleasure to meet you. In the above mentioned RfA, you mentioned a list of editors who don't normally visit RfAs and had !voted in Katerenka's. I just wanted to let you know that a couple of them !voted in my RfA and I don't think they are only there to support Katerenka. Thanks.--
- Nice meeting you - thanks for the kind words. I tend to agree about the RfA !voters, that it's probably not a big deal. It's evident that a certain group of friends, like I said, have come to support two of their friends' RfAs, but I'm thinking that a couple of others are simply getting more involved in RFAs these days. So there's not really a direct connection. Best, JamieS93 12:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
