Welcome to my talk page

You are also invited to email me at: [email protected]. Occasionally I repost emails that I receive to this talk page, however I remove sensitive material and personally-identifying information, such as email address, first.

I frequently collapse sections once I think the conversation is done. The section will appear as a purple bar with a summary and a link that says "show". If you are leaving me a follow-on comment for such a collapsed section, please add the new comments below the collapsed section, NOT in it. If you add comments inside a collapsed section, I may never see them.

Jerry's 10 talk page rules

  1. Please no foul language, threats or namecalling.
  2. If there is any possibility (at all) that I meant well, assume that is the case, until proven or admitted otherwise. I will do the same.
  3. Please append your wikisignature to all comments.
  4. Please do not add any contentious material about me or any other living person.
  5. Stop means
    Requests for comment
  • Do not leave messages containing any personally-identifying information about children, including yourself.
  • If you are here because a template showed up on your article or talk page, and you want to know why; 99% of the time, the information you seek is located right on the template itself. Please have the courtesy to read it first, then come here to complain or ask additional questions.
  • If I deleted an article/ image, etc, and you want to know why, please look at the log for the page... I usually leave a detailed explanation including a code like "CSD#G12, COPYVIO, Content was..." If you go to the
    WP:DELREV
  • If you do decide to ask me why your article, image, etc. got deleted, please tell me which one you are talking about. I delete many things a day, most days, and it can be very difficult for me to figure out which one you're talking about. This is particularly impossible if you are not logged-in, and your current IP Address is different than what it was when you created the article, uploaded the image, etc.
  • If you are here to complain about another editor, for whatever reason, please consider using one of the forums to alert all administrators of the problem. This will get you faster service, from among dozens of patrolling admins.
  • Notice regarding deletion reviews

    WP:DRV
    " to the discussion, and an administrator will surely close it shortly (as long as other editors have not significantly participated yet). Thank-you for your consideration.

    New Bridge in Kosovska Mitrovica
    - Date of construction

    Hello Jerry, I saw your edit according to the date when this bridge was built. Video clips concerning riots of March, 2004 in Mitrovica show the same new bridge, e.g.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqZRLBqQjcs. Can you remember where the information "It was built in 2005 by the French KFOR." comes from? Can you give a reference for this? Thanks for the efforts, Greetings --Anglo-Araneophilus (talk) 03:53, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    It appears you are correct. I may have mistakenly used the date for another bridge construction project by
    LexusNexus could properly cite that change. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 13:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply

    Thank you very much for this hint, Jerry! LexisNexis is licensed at my library indeed, but I don't have got access at home and I won't visit the campus for the next weeks. For the moment it might be an important result that we have no sureness in the exact date yet. I have some doubts as related to the date of March 18, 2004 for there are some notes that seem to lead to a construction date before 2002, maybe 2000, and the rioting masses tried to cross the bridge even on March 17, 2004. The opening of August, 2004 might be a reopening after closing because of preceding ethnic tensions or so? But this is just wildcatting, I did not find any concrete specifications about that matter yet. Thanks again! Greetings, --Anglo-Araneophilus (talk) 15:46, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    A tag has been placed on

    section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing
    .

    If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

    The article Dimension (shampoo) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

    Unable to find substantial in-depth sources that discussed this product, so I don't believe it passes
