The thing about it is, is that you don't go off the !votes. You see what people are saying then a decision is based off of that. There have been lots of mergers that don't get done based on the validity of the what people are saying against it. You just went ahead and merged without any real closure to the vote. See if there was a Nataly Dawn article, would you want to merge it? I mean she does her solo stuff, Pomplamoose, and her new project called My Terrible Friend with Lauren O'Connell. I still think if you look, then you will more information to put in the Jack Conte article even if it's a little bit of information. Mr. C.C. Hey yo! I didn't do it! 21:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, it looks like I was four minutes late to the . If you check my contribs for the last five minutes you will see that I tried to rally WP Hungary and one of its members to support this debate. There are several assertions of notability in the article. I had begun to edit the AfD before you closed it. Here is what I wrote:
Unfortunately I got the ultimate edit conflict known as an AfD closure. I don't know if any of this makes a difference to you but I think this was a malformed AfD that did not list the right WP for notification. ---- moreno oso ( talk) 04:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (
submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (
submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Hi Jujutacular. I just noticed that my nomination for the Sega Dreamcast was closed under "Not Promoted". How come? A majority supported the nomination (in fact, it was a 2:1 ratio), so can you please explain on my talkpage why it wasn't promoted? Secret Saturdays ( talk to me) 20:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Apparently there are several Ross Allens, such as an English footballer & perhaps someone involved in cricket. There are also many hits in google with a search for Ross Allen. Although there are not articles in Wikipedia now on these individuals, it is conceivable that one will be created in the future. I considered this when I created the article name as Ross Allen (herpetologist). You can see some of this by the “what links here”. Accordingly, I reverted this recent name change move. If you disagree, please take it to the discussion page. Thanks! FieldMarine ( talk) 13:09, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

A gambit I'm going to just nominate Illinois (album) for FA status and then amend it based on any feedback that I get there. If you want to help out, I thought I'd let you know now.

Re: Your DELETING of "Cyprus Peace Bazaar"
Dear Jujutacular
I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I am trying hard to help document some very important aspects of the Cyprus peace process. As you may realize, the struggle for peace in a conflicting society is not a very popular subject and many times those involved are victimized by society and are not always willing to stand up and report their roles.
In any case, being one of the key players in the Cyprus peace movement (this can be verified by contacting the Head of the UN program in Cyprus) I am in a position to know that certain events have been historically instrumental for the creation of the peace movement on the island, and it would be helpful to be able to find a short description in an encyclopedia such as the wikipedia. One of those events, was the Cyprus Peace Bazaar. This event has been organized and supported by the two most active organzations in Cyprus: UN & Fulbright.
I might have not been the right person to post it on Wikipedia, and having it deleted makes me feel responsible.
I would therefore like to have your advice what would it require to highlight and validate the significance of that event so as to re-publish it.
Also I would greatly appreciate if you could guide me how I could re-list it.

Dear Jujutacular I appreciate your detailed response very much. I appreciate the time you put into it. It helps me become a better Wikipedia contributor. I would appreciate if you could place the text I developed for the Peace Bazaar in my user space because I did not keep a copy. Some colleagues wish to re-write it, it would therefore be useful to recall what we wrote before. Thank you in advance.

Hi Jujutacular, The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.
Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from last Saturday to this Friday will be eligible. They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 ( talk) 04:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I saw that you deleted again the page for Bobby McGee's. Ibelieve I had pointed out on the talk page before it was deleted that I do not think two people agreeing with each other really counts as a "discussion" in the phrase "deletion discussion" - would you be interested in recreating the page so a proper deletion discussion involving more than two people can take place? I am doing this as a first step before possibly opening a deletion review. Many thanks, The Actual Salman Rushdie ( talk) 15:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the delete and move of VFactory/ V Factory. One thankyou for a generally thankless task. Si Trew ( talk) 07:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jiju,
I would kindly ask to discuss with me the subject`s significance of the page Khan Wars. If the problem is in the references I can find you right away tons of References to this page. Thank you for your time! Have a nice week! Hanovete ( talk) 13:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Just a friendly FYI, when you protect a template, please remember to wrap the <noinclude> tags around it, like I did here. As is, the protection template has now been transcluded as well, causing Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates to go from ~15 to 329. :) Dunno if it's all related, but a good deal is. Since I fixed the template above, the job queue will eventually clear it out, so no worries there. Thanks, and keep up the great work! Avic ennasis @ 20:15, 7 Elul 5770 / 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jujutacular,
I have had the author of the photographs we discussed on my talk page change the rights settings for the 3 photos in question on his Flickr account. Can you let me know if this now qualifies to be reuploaded?
