Wikimeet: London 11 September

You expressed a desire on the Wikipedia:Meetup/London page to attend the 11 September meet, but inidcated that you wouldn't know until nearer the time whether you would be able to or not. This is just a friendly reminder, nearer the time, to see whether you are likely to be attending. Thryduulf 12:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Development of History of fuel prices

Hey there Joolz, just to let you know, I have added information about the price competition between alcohol fuel and gasoline on the article. Can you check it out and tell me what you think about it? Be sure to reply on my user page, and I will reply on your user page. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 00:08, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

NPOV dispute Segregated Cycle Facilities

Hi. I've added a controversial template to the talk page of this article. I would like to find out which aspects of the article you still feel are POV or misrepresent the debate/field. --Sf 09:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I haven't really looked at that article in a while but I don't think I have any problems with the article as it stands (I've removed the POV tag, if anyone disputes it I'm sure they'll just add it back!) -- Joolz 13:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks this is one of those issues that really polarises people. Have heard of people nearly coming to blows at international conferences - so I agree its likely the POV tag will reappear. It needs a bit more input but its hard to discuss/explain the issues without digressing considerably from the main topic. Anyway have a nice weekend! --Sf 14:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POTW

Sorry, I'm not having it. It's a lie. In the real world it would be libel. Leonig Mig 18:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 23:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations indeed! And thanks for your support on my RfA; I was shocked by how much support it drew. -Splash 13:26, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is paste the following into User:Joolz/monobook.js:

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupAdminLinks=true;

Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! L upin 02:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll give it a go :) - Joolz 12:11, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Response on your RfA comment

No problem. Normally, I do not vote on RfAs for nominees with >2000 edits. Reason; almost all RfAs for nominees with edit counts higher than that are approved. Thus, it's a fair bit of a waste of time for me to analyze nominees with larger edit counts. I did in your case because several people voted in favor of you before you even accepted and answered the questions. So, I placed a "neutral" vote to highlight that and then changed it to the obviously well warranted "support" after you accepted/answered. I'm sure you'll make a fine admin. Unanimous 31-0 decision, TKO in the 1st round :) --Durin 13:59, 9 September 2005 (UTC) (PS: If you're really bored and unusually curious, you can have a look at my admin voting measures...if you fall asleep, don't blame me :))[reply]

Well, thanks again :) It's good that you look at it in that much detail, I think there's been a recent trend on RFA for people to look at the number of edits and vote based mainly on that, nobody mentioned edit counts at all on mine but that's probably because of the high number. By the way... I think it was 35-0 not that it matters ;) - Joolz 15:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the two main factors people usually vote by are edit count and time since first edit. Both are rather poor measures of a nominees suitability to be an admin. Some people really investigate potential admins and vote based on other items than edit count/time on wikipedia. Most don't though. :( --Durin 18:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Participant on European Union Project

Greetings, Joolz! I took the liberty of placing a "Welcome to the EU project" message on the talk page of User:Jdhowens90, who had recently added his name to the list of participants on the project page. And, also, congratulations on your recent promotion to Admin status! :) LiniShu 11:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) -- Joolz 13:22, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My gallery

Hi! Thanks for the edit on my gallery. I can't believe that that mistake got in there—my wife (who is Scottish) would have killed me if she had seen it! :-O

BTW: On the constituency WikiProject your suggestion about the historic constituencies is more what I was thinking of. Rather than expanding the /Progess sub-page, I am thinking to create a /Historic_constituencies sub-page. JeremyA (talk) 21:44, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm always glad to fix embarrassing errors like that! ;) Creating a historic constituency subpage (I'd prefer 'former' because 'historic' sounds rather glorifying for some of the more recent constituencies, not that it really matters...) is a good idea, I think it should be located as a subpage of the Progress page too though. There are a large number of former scottish constituencies where we have the 2001 results on the page of a new 2005 constituency, which needs sorting out as well. -- Joolz 11:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Award

Congrats on your adminship! I hope you don't mind receiving it. :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 11:25, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Wow, well, thanks :D I wouldn't normally be too pleased to receive a bin, but I'll make a special exception in this case ;) -- Joolz 15:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On Aaron Laberge

I know this is not the appropriate place for this kind of query, but I can find no more information otherwise. You have added some information to a Wiki for Aaron Laberge who was a college roommate and good friend of mine. I was hoping that, if you know how to contact him, you could either give me his email address or pass mine along to him. Anyway, please contact me either way. Thanks, brianpoteat@hotmail.com

Leadership in international institutions

Hi there. You deleted Pitfalls of international institutions per its AFD a few days ago, but don't seem to have deleted Leadership in international institutions, which was listed as part of the same nomination. Could you please either delete it, or (if you feel the afd isn't applicable), let me know so I can nominate it independently? Thanks. —Cryptic (talk) 16:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I'm sorry, my mistake. It didn't click that they were both part of the same AFD, usually other articles are listed in the title of the AFD so I just missed it, I'll delete it now :) (well, I say now... but I'm on dialup so..) Thanks, Joolz

Castro Cult dispute

Considering the length of the discussion I've now written an abbreviation of the essence of the discussion at Talk:Cult of personality#Fidel_Castro that, in my view, settles the matter. Maybe you'd like to have a look and have another say on the subject.

I've also sent this message to the other previous contributors to the discussion, Cryptnotic, TJive, Mihnea Tudoreanu and Willmc. DirkvdM 09:26, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, unfortuantly I don't have the time right now to look into it, I will try when I can have some time, regards, Joolz 22:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, nothing has changed for you, really, because you've already seen the 'ultimate' argument. Just thought I should point this out to you. DirkvdM 09:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

UKCOTW

Oops - I knew I'd forgotten to do something. Still, I figured seeing as nobody had done much to the last article by Saturday (the last time I looked at it) then it's wouldn't harm to leave it a bit longer. -- Francs 2000 21:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New European Union collaboration

Hi Joolz, this is just a note telling you that I have created the European Union collaboration (the first collaboration is Eurobarometer). I'm looking forward to your contributions! Talrias (t | e | c) 12:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, I'll try and contribute where I can but I've been rather busy at university recently. Good luck also on your arbcom candidacy :) -- Joolz 13:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image favor

Hi Joolz, long time no talk. I hope you're enjoying the ~~drinking~~ University.;) I was wondering if you could help me with an issue. A while back, when I was even wetter behind the ears than I am now, I uploaded an image on en.wiki, not knowing about the commons. I might be using the image soon in a major article rewrite, and have uploaded a hi-res version of the image on the commons. I also added a more detailed caption. However, it won't express because of the local copy. Do you mind deleting the local page? It's here. Thanks ever so much! enceph alon 18:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC) PS. I'm the only one who's ever edited the page, and also it's orphaned.[reply]

Sorry for the delay in responding to this, the image has been deleted :) -- Joolz 12:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I just noticed that you're studying at Sussex. I'm up the road in Lewes. Are you still contirbuting the the parliamentary stuff? I uploaded the booklet I mentioned some time ago to the Wikimedia commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Lewes_Parliament_1295-1885.pdf. Jooler 11:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I am, my wikipedia activity has decreased a lot though, but I'll help out with the Lewes constituency as soon as I have some spare time, probably after next week. Regards, Joolz 20:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

UK geography COTM

OK, so I finally found time for some Wikipeding (after about five months of Northumberland!) and have picked Nottinghamshire for the next COTM.

Hey Joolz, Merry Christmas, and I'm just letting you know that the List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom is now a featured list, including the timeline that we worked on back in July (ages ago!). Cheers, Talrias (t | e | c) 22:29, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Brighton Kemptown

I noticed on the Brighton Pavilion (constituency) page that you input the 1950 election results, which is not available from an online source to my knowledge. I was wondering if you still had access to that source whether you could input the 1950 election results for the neighbouring constituency Brighton Kemptown. --New Progressive 00:54, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The older results were from the book listed in the references section, which is available in any good library - I'll try and get the results for Kemptown in the near (ish) future - especially since I'm living in Brighton and Hove now -- Joolz 08:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Please can you check South East Cornwall? According to the Boundaries section, it includes North Cornwall which doesn't look right to me, but I don't really know much about this. Thank you CarolGray 07:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've had another look at the map and corrected the mistake, cheers - Joolz 13:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Benham Park

Hello, is Benham Park the same as Benham-Valence Manor? I am not familiar with the term "Park" except as applied to land areas which may have manicured lawns or groves of trees, etc. for recreational purposes. I have some information which I should like to add to the page "Benham Park" if it applies, i.e. it is about the manor of Benham-Valence, the "house" as it were. Cheers. Mfields1 00:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a bit of research (I'm assuming you're asking because of the Marsh Benham page, since there isn't a page for Benham Park yet) - according to [1] they do seem to refer to the same thing - the definition for the term park is pretty broad and can be applied to lots of different types of land. Hope I've helped, and happy editing :) -- Joolz 11:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vlaams Blok trial

Hi, you have been editing the Vlaams Belang and Vlaams Blok articles in the past. Could I ask you a question ?

I was thinking of starting an article on the Vlaams Blok trial, to explore the trial a little more indepth, and to which could be linked from the Vlaams Belang and Vlaams Blok pages. What would you think about that ?

I'm afraid I would just be creating another battle-ground. On the other hand, the information on the trial in the present articles is rather limited.--LucVerhelst 17:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency)

Hi Joolz

Way back when, you made this addition to the Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency) article:

The seat has sent members to Parliament since 1482 when it was enfranchised by Henry VIII. It initially sent two members, this was reduced to one in 1885.

An anonymous user has pointed out (in article) that either the date or the King must be incorrect, as Henry VIII wasn't born until 1492. Any idea which it is?

I will remove the comment to the talk page.

Thanks AndrewMcQ 18:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greenham Lock pic

Hi, You added Image:River Kennet & canal in Newbury.jpg to Kennet and Avon Canal & I added it to Locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal and Greenham Lock, but it doesn't display properly on my screen & seems to slow the downlaod of the article - any idea why? — Rod ^talk 16:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having the same problem with it, it was down to the & in the name (which I don't think was a problem when I uploaded it, else I would have noticed) - I've now uploaded the picture with 'and' in the name, and fixed the articles it's used in, sorry about that, and keep up the good work with the article! :) -- Joolz 17:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Treaty of Rome and the European Economic and Social Committee

Hi,

Firstly just to say great work on all the web pages on the EU.

I am new to Wikipedia so don't know if I am doing this correctly but on noted on this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_rome

that you did not acknowledge that the European Economic and Social Committee was established by the Treaty of Rome and instead you have put 1967 for it, while the page on the EESC has the correct date of 1957?

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:West Berkshire coat of arms.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 18:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Expansion of WP:WikiProject Brighton - your opinion, please.

I have had the idea of expanding and renaming WikiProject Brighton to become WikiProject Sussex - this would not exclude people with a particular interest in, say, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Midhurst, Pulborough, Billingshurst, Horsham, Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea, etc. - all places worthy of a WikiProject - and I'm not sure that having WikiProject Brighton as a sub-project of WP:Sussex would work. I feel that we are being too exclusive - we could attract new members this way. What do you think? - Vox Humana 8' 17:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:SpeedFerries - SpeedOne.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SpeedFerries - SpeedOne.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
