Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to pop by to thank you for your help with this CCI. Your input is much appreciated! :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because the block on the IP address my account was using was supposed to expire over 3 hours ago: This template must be substituted. Replace {{Template for discussion ...}} with {{subst:Template for discussion ...}}.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock #2188881 lifted or expired. Request handled by:  —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

I'd be inclined to grant you IP block exemption, though I'm concerned that the vandalism from Farve Dollar Footlong (talk · contribs) follows immediately after one of your edits [1]. Are you this user, or do you know him? —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 06:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I assure you that Farve Dollar Footlong is not a sockpuppet. However, I know him. He and I were on a shared computer, and when I saw him typing vandalism I tried to stop him, but it was too late. So I was about to revert it, but then ten seconds later Nakon (talk · contribs) reverted it and blocked Farve Dollar Footlong's account as well as the IP address.

Hey, it's not blocked anymore. I can edit. Thanks! Jsayre64 (talk) 14:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, how about instead of just tagging images for deletion, you take a novel approach and actually help phase in the newer fair use rational templates, it takes the same amount of time as tagging for deletion. The end product is a reference work with images in-place and the reader wins. If you don't want do it for me, imagine your doing it for yourself. That way all you added won't be deleted in 5 years when a new template come along or some new magic-word is demanded in the rationale. Maybe that future person will fix your images, instead of just tagging them for deletion like your doing. If adding the new template is too much of a burden, you could spend an equal amount of your time and notify me on my page that you just tagged an image for deletion. If your just tagging and not fixing or notifying, your just enforcing rules for the sake of enforcing rules. I would rather we work together to have the best reference work available instead of you measuring your success by how many images you tag for deletion each day. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 02:10, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we've gone through this before. If every non-free image you've uploaded is going to be the "person is dead," "to illustrate person at peak of career" kind of thing, just tell me that and I can generally do so instead of tagging images for deletion. If not things will be much more complicated. Unfortunately I have not received much help recently in reviewing the images of your CCI, but that's how it goes. You should read Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, so that these scenarios don't develop like this later. Jsayre64 (talk) 02:56, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Note to self: it's here. Jsayre64 (talk) 14:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're the right person; you volunteered, and you've been diligent about it. We all have room to learn about copyright; if it were simple, cases would never get to court because lawyers wouldn't fight. :) Just take it on board, and know that, fwiw, I am still very grateful to you for answering my request for volunteers. I don't know if I'll ever be fully comfortable with our image NFC rules. Some of them make sense to me; others, not so much. Richard has never been particularly gung ho about this process, but my goal has always been just to sort what needs fixing from what's good and call it a day so that there are no more lingering concerns.

Anyway, I'm heading out of town tomorrow, so if I don't get a chance before then, let me wish you a Merry Christmas, presuming that doing so is appropriate. If not, happy winter holiday of your choice. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, thanks! I've never gotten a barnstar! Jsayre64 (talk) 17:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then I'm sure it's long overdue. :D You've certainly earned this one! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:21, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jsayre, I did some work on the Eugene population chart we discussed at Eugene, Oregon and on Commons. I couldn't find a really elegant solution, but I did manage to reproduce the template/table on Commons using a bit of a hack. What do you think? -Pete (talk) 18:06, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
