Admin coaching

Hello. I noticed your request for a coach over at Admin coaching, and I'm available. If you do not currently have an admin coach, I would be glad to be your coach. I do have a few of conditions though, and they are that you:

watch your coaching page closely, and reply to every post there in a timely fashion
fill in all of your edit summaries (if you find yourself forgetting, there's a setting in "my preferences" that will remind you)
complete all the assignments you are given to the best of your ability. If you have trouble with an assignment, by all means, let me know, so we can discuss possible solutions and alternatives.
don't go for your RfA or accept an RfA nomination except from me - I will nominate you when I believe you are ready

Please let me know if you agree, and we can get started.

I look forward to your reply.

I have created the page User:Sjones23/Admin coaching, from which I will coordinate the coaching. Right now, it's pretty much blank, but I'll add more to it as we go. Be sure to check on it regularly. I'll start off by asking you the standard RfA questions on the page. Best regards, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Qui

Hi. I would recommend that you get Qui, a tool that allows users to view each other's status more easily. This way, I can know when it is convenient to contact you, and vice versa. After you get it, just add me to your friends list. Note: It doesn't work very well in Internet Explorer, so if you have that, might be time to get Firefox. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read my note at User:Sjones23/Admin coaching? Sorry I didn't make this clear at the beginning, but when you have read a comment of mine on any of the coaching pages, please reply to acknowledge receipt of the comment. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You might want to see the new note I added to User:Sjones23/Admin coaching. (Don't forget to watchlist your admin coaching page if you haven't done so already. I general, reply to every message I add, even if your reply is just "OK I got it." This way I know that you read it.) Cheers, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:30, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Admin coaching

Sorry I haven't contacted you in a long time. I was actually a little busy myself. So how is it going? If you have anything new to add, anything you learned, or any questions you would like to ask me, feel free to make a comment at User:Sjones23/Admin coaching#July 2009. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Sailor Moon (English adaptation)". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 5 December 2011. Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by MediationBot (talk) on behalf of the Mediation Committee. 17:03, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]Request for mediation accepted

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Sailor Moon (English adaptation), in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Sailor Moon (English adaptation), so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee. As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear. For the Mediation Committee, AGK [•] 21:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply] (Delivered by MediationBot, on behalf of the Mediation Committee.)Welcome to Sailor Moon formal mediationHello—Sunray and I will be your mediators. We will be sharing the job of mediation, so anything shared with one of us should be expected to be shared with the other, unless specifically requested otherwise. As you may or may not also know, discussions during formal mediation are privileged, meaning that they cannot be used against you later; for example, if the case is referred to arbitration. This allows participants to speak freely and candidly about the issues. To start off the case, we've decided to invite participants to share, privately, their perspectives with the mediators, Feezo and Sunray. We'd like to hear your thoughts on what the major issues are, what the ideal result of mediation would be, and what alternatives might be acceptable. Other relevant thoughts are of course welcome. Send these by email with the form at Special:EmailUser/Feezo. Let me know if you have any questions. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 00:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]RFA thank youThank you for your comment and support at my recent successful RFA. Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair.

I didn't remove anything based on it being spoiler (although you might think it as an added bonus). It's just not useful to recount any possible plotlines that include her. It's just a "list of characters" page anyway, so the info should be summarized, and directly related to the character. There's still a lot of info as it was. Also, you didn't just re-add those parts, but reverted my edit altogether, and so removed some info that I added. Why'd you do that? I'd like to revert your change, if you don't have any good reasons for this. Thanks.Pike84 (talk) 21:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pike84 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]I apologize for my unintentional mistake that I had made and I already self-reverted the edits myself. However, I think the note on "presumedly gained through extremely precise chackra control" concerning Tsunade's superhuman strength may be counted as possible speculation, therefore it is unverifiable. Also, the unexplained jutsu on her appearance may be possibly removed as well. Would this help? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:34, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply] Ok. They just seemed like parts that begged for explanations and those should be the most likely ones, but you're right: it hasn't been explicitly explained in the series as far as I remember. This is fine, thanks again for your considerationPike84 (talk) 22:40, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply] No problem.

The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points. This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck!

Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 15:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]WikiCup 2012 January newsletterWikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Grapple X (submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Ruby2010 (submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Jivesh boodhun (submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly! The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20. A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.12george1 (submissions) was the first to score, with his good article review of Illinois v. McArthur. 12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on Hurricane Debby (1982)- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews. Sp33dyphil (submissions) was the first to score points for a did you know, with Russian submarine K-114 Tula. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity. Sp33dyphil (submissions) is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early! Speciate (submissions) was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with Paedophryne amauensis. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching! Jivesh boodhun (submissions) was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song), was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition. A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, Stfg, and Coordinator emeritus SMasters. 19:53, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply] >>> Sign up now <<<To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.Karigurashi no ArriettyHi, Sjones23. I'm Blitz Lutte 2. I send you this mail because there are conflict in the page of Karigurashi no Arrietty (The Secret World of Arrietty or Arrietty). Some wiki-users have decided to title Arrietty to its page because they don't consider The Secret World of Arrietty (put title by Disney in North American Territories) like official title in English. Look, Disney has seen late with the theatrical premiere of Karigurashi no Arrietty but Disney title usually is most well-known. Both United States and Canada have titled film as The Secret World of Arrietty. Disney is one of the producers of the movie in Japan and United States, in addition, Disney is distributor in North America and France. Then, what is the problem with title The Secret World of Arrietty? Please, I ask you for Karigurashi no Arrietty page will be The Secret World of Arrietty not Arrietty. Until the conflict is not finished it will not be possible change the title. I look forward to hearing from you.--Blitz Lutte 2 (talk) 19:40, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]Hey there. I think that one of the best places to ask for a page move can be found at requested moves. I think the official title should be "The Secret World of Arrietty", since Disney is the international distributor of several Ghibli films. As such, I am planning to file a request on the move if possible. Thanks, Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply] Hello, I'm Blitz Lutte 2 again. Hey, I'm looking requested moves of Karigurashi no Arrietty and I have a doubt. Are different comment and oppose? I ask you because I've seen in other pages (like Ponyo) where there only two replies (support and oppose). Then, in requested moves of Karigurashi no Arrietty I've seen three kinds of replies: comment, support and oppose. I'm almost new-user in Wikipedia in English so I don't know the differences. I know that support is positive and oppose is negative but comment I don't know. I look forward to hearing from you.--Blitz Lutte 2 (talk) 09:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]WikiCup 2012 February newsletterRound 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Miyagawa (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher. The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design. The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

GRAPPLE X 00:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Late SpringI would be honored to invite you, as an obviously very knowledgeable editor and a participant in the Japanese Cinema Task Force, to review the article I have edited on Yasujiro Ozu's Late Spring. I have worked on the article for about nine months, beginning on June 12, 2011. Although it is quite long, I believe that the importance of Late Spring both within the career of Yasujiro Ozu and within the overall history of Japanese cinema more than justifies the length. Indeed, there is quite a bit of detail that I felt it necessary to omit. I wanted the reader with little or no knowledge of Japanese film history to understand: a) the significance of the Shomin-geki genre and the importance of Ozu to that genre; b) the pressures on filmmakers during the American Occupation and its censorship, and how Ozu dealt with those pressures; c) the central importance of both the screenwriter Kôgo Noda and the actress Setsuko Hara on this film and on the director's late period films in general; d) the importance of the theme of tradition versus modernity in this film; e) the central importance to the movie of the Noh play scene (which actually gave the film its title, as is explained in the section "The season and sexuality"); f) Ozu's complex and subtle approach to characterization, and the relationship of the characters to traditional Japanese archetypes (e.g., the patriarchal father); g) the uniqueness of Ozu's visual style; and h) the ambiguous nature of what he achieved, which is open to many (and contradictory) interpretations. What I'd like to request that you do is: a) suggest possible improvements to the article and b) after corrections, support my attempt to promote the article as a Featured Article, which I intend to do quite soon. I hope that I can get the article on Late Spring to the point where it sets some kind of standard for a Wikipedia cinema article.

There are several support and little opposition. Can you change the page title? It's been seven days later and there are many sources that confirm that "The Secret World of Arrietty" is the most common title.--Blitz Lutte 2 (talk) 09:44, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Should we just close the move discussion if it is possible? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:47, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] Why do you think about the move? There five supports, two opposes and two comments. I think that's clear. Arrietty should be moved to The Secret World of Arrietty.--Blitz Lutte 2 (talk) 01:38, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] Apparently, there is no consensus and as this discussion is closed, some of the user who voted are quite new and we should give them time to get used to the Wikipedia policies to become more experienced. Also, the votes have less weight than the quality of the comments. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 03:42, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] Then. Is there no possibility to change the name to "The Secret World of Arrietty"? It is the most common name and does not just because two users want to change is not fair no change. Is it possible to re-propose the name change later?--Blitz Lutte 2 (talk) 10:08, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] Consensus can change. We can propose the name change a little later.

Thanks.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:59, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]I think so, since the IP and the socks have identical edits to the articles. I have already filed a sockpuppet investigation on the matter here.

Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Can we get it changed to anime voice format? AngusWOOF (talk) 03:57, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Yes, and I think we should use this wording, "In the Japanese version of the series, [character] is voiced by [Japanese voice actor/actress]. In the English dub, he/she is voiced by [English voice actor/actress]" (using List of One Piece characters as a model). Would that work? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply] Sounds good. Thanks for fixing those. I also went ahead and did those ISBN corrections for Volume 10. AngusWOOF (talk) 04:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]Fairy Tale ceI saw that you'd done a little ce on this. I was trying to work on it for the current GOCE..........but, it's too big for my interest and there're too many crufters jumping in and out.........I don't have the interest. I'm going to back away.

When you recently edited Arrietty, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Vow (film) and Safe House (film) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
