I have rewritten this article in order to establish notability. I would be grateful if you could have a look and see what you think. Capitalistroadster 05:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Re:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_W._Bush&action=history
Thank you for restoring the spirit of my:(NPOV about the petro/oil issue which has come to the debate on Bush's policy(s) in Iraq.) It please's me to see that you saw through the ruse when the NPOV about the petro/oil issue on the Bush page was taken out shortly after.. only because someone somebody somewhere.. did not like the implication(s) if any that it might bring upon George Walker Bush our 43rd U.S. President.

Hi! Regarding the last edit where you have included that Cornell was the founder of Western Union, I think it's much more appropriate and accurate to put that he was a founder or co-founder. Or even better, some statement like, "He was a pioneer in the telegraph industry who was instrumental in the founding of Western Union" would be nice. Perhaps that's a little too weaselly, but it avoids taking sides in what I believe to be a more or less ambiguous and unclear situation. Let me know what you think. I think it's best to avoid overly antagonizing people. --C S 13:13, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Another thing: I think the source I found and you cited in your edit is not really appropriate in the article. It was meant to show the anon that yes indeed some reputable source did construe the historical facts in a different way than the anon does. But I don't know if I really would agree with the Columbia Encyclopedia. A more careful analysis would be required (e.g. how large was each company before the merger, how important were Cornell's telegraph lines in terms of location, etc.) in order to conclude that one side was the founder and the others were just add-ons. It might be that the proper conclusion is that it was a stand-off and both sides got exactly what they wanted in which case it's not justified to pick either Cornell or Sibley as the founder. --C S 13:22, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
"a band is a type of ensemble -- no difference between the two words should be implied" - I don't agree with you there, the two words have very different connotations. Few if any of the groups listed on the a cappella page would consider themselves an "ensemble" - they're pop groups or bands. "Ensemble" may be dictionary correct, but in practice seems overly formal. (I didn't change it back, I just wanted to reply to your comment -- I'm new to editing wikipedia and trying to get a feel for how these things go.) Snackwell 14:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
A definite improvement. Thanks. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
As I said in the edit, I agree with most you've done except for the ranking (which I edited). The section on noted programs (linguistics, political science...) needs improvement and I thought I would see what you thought. It needs referenced, though I would prefer not to string together various rankings that are less widely circulated. Any ideas? PS - Your edits to Public Ivies are very good. Rkevins82 23:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
JDoorjam, did you redirect the Southern Ivies article? That article had been put up for a vote, and the consensus was "keep". I may be misunderstanding your role in that, but if you did delete it that seems very unfair. (unsigned comment by Vandy)
I don't know whether you're joking, or whether you don't understand that literal meaning of "blazing" here isn't to set fire, but to mark a trail by with light-colored patches by chopping bark off trees; hence, figuratively, to pioneer. I agree with you that it's unnecessary embellishment... Dpbsmith (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh, there's a whole gang of 'em who maintain the page. It's part of the reason I feel comfortable not trying to puff up the page -- I know there are plenty of alumni willing to do it in my stead! ;-) JDoorjam 20:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm the article creator and I'd like to thank you for urging not to merge. Would you like to offer productive suggestions about the article now that it's nearly finished? I'm deciding which of several potential redirects is best for the main title and considering where to categorize it. Also, since you look like you know the subject, I'd appreciate content feedback. I've done my best to treat this sensitive topic in a balanced and tasteful way. Durova 19:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
When you removed the example of Festivus out of the secularisation paragraph in War on Christmas, it made me very sad. I feel that it is an appropriate casual reference, but more importantly, it is funny. And humour is neccesary in articles such as that. Please be a good sport, and put it back in! --sansvoix 06:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC) P.S. You could also check the talk section debate for that section too if you have time! Thanks.
While I agree that most of the edits you made to the article are a definite improvement, I'm afraid I have to take issue with your removal of the UCI related jokes. While I certainly agree that taken alone jokes are not encyclopedic, the jokes are notable in the context of shedding light on the student culture and attitudes at UCI and are discussed at length on the talk page along with references documenting their widespread use both among students and the surrounding community. -Loren 18:02, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
JDoorjam: Believe me, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to supply input on the UA article. However, by making such radical changes without first utilizing the article's discussion page, you are insulting many contributors (not including myself) who have taken the time to add citable information. It appears you are on a "rampage" and not working for the good of the community so to speak. Of course, exercise your editing judgment as you wish, but know that other people will as well. It is much better to reach an understanding BEFORE an entire overhaul of an article. I do appreciate your time. AZCactus1 00:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't really seem to be POV; I don't always agree with what I wrote a few hours ago. I've cleared the tag. Stifle 17:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
No, I wasn't the one who put him into the Cornell article. But I do have two cherished second-hand volumes of his hysterically funny verse. And I looked him up in my library's database to make sure it's the same Morris Bishop, and it is: "Morris Bishop gained a great deal of respect for his scholarship as a professor of Romance languages and literature at Cornell University and for his poetry, often published in the New Yorker and other magazines." He did other stuff, too. I didn't know he was a Cornell professor, and I didn't know he was the author of a book, "The Middle Ages," which is still in print. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:50, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Couldn't you have waited until the Warren AFD was over before AFD'ing the others? I fail to see how AFD'ing a series of similar articles was constructive. Drew (Snottygobble) | Talk 02:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
You are, however, wasting everybody's time when it's patently obvious that this AfD, as with the others, is not going to succeed. The one outcome of this, it seems, is just to piss people off. Ambi 03:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Ambi, please be civil and assume good faith. Your abusive criticism of JDoorjam serves little purpose but to antagonize. --C S (Talk) 06:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

OK - I see it. The whole second half. DAMN - I've spent three days off and on fine tuning all the facts in the first half and the info box, and someone tacks on copyright material and sinks the whole damn article? - Beowulf314159 03:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.
In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: ((EA-welcome)) (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)
Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. What a minefield this is. I had put in the phrase "which characterizes, or once characterized," the Ivy League Schools. The point I was trying to make here is that the Ivy League schools absolutely once had and in my opinion still do have but to a reduced degree--a privileged connection with the U.S. power structure, one which no public university has. I was trying to weasel the implication that they still have this connection, because it's less obviously true now than it was, say, a century, or even fifty years ago. And because people have always hated to acknowledge this, and a statement that it was true is less likely to be challenged than one that it still is true. This was true and easily documentable from, say, about 1870 to 1970.
A degree from the University of Vermont is not the same as a degree from Yale. In a situation where only academic merit matters, yes, they can be comparable. When it comes to getting in to a job where social discrimination is practiced, they are not comparable. One good example of a job where such connections matter would be "President of the United States." Dpbsmith (talk) 15:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I reverted to an earlier version, which should address the copyright issue. Andrew73 21:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I reverted your change because the "non-existant" section in question was lost after vandalism. It has now been restored. Thanks. --AySz88^-^ 22:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for doing some nice tidying on the Corinth, Vermont article. I've been trying to get the Vermont town articles consistent in terms of quality and that one was giving me some trouble (unsure what to do, unsure how to fix) Even though you just did a little bit, it was really helpful. Thanks. Jessamyn 01:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I should not have referred to them as former doormats, was merely trying to flesh out the information on the football teams rise in the 1990s, as the article didn't seem to reflect just how sudden their change of fortunes was. It appears that someone has changed it to a more neutral wording. Havardj
Thanks for adding the fact tags to Brad Pitt and for adding a comment regarding the date when you added them! It is good to see. --Yamla 18:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for correcting that comment. I've had to do that so many times before. It used to be worse: he actually posted the college acceptances from the class of 2005, possibly the worst class ever, IMHO (full disclosure: I graduated from there in 2004, but so what?). Donbas 03:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey -- I'm an alumnus of Porter-Gaud School who, back in the day, served as, among other things, Student Archivist, and have discovered that you and another fellow are having some sort of tiff over the site -- what's all this about, and how can we clear it up?
Sounds good to me. Thanks.
I must say I was surprised to discover that my old group was one of the original items in list of collegiate a cappella groups. I'm curious how you compiled those, since we weren't exactly a well-known group. In fact we were obscure even compared to other a cappella groups on campus. Isomorphic 21:23, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, those are particularly good ones. --Tony Sidaway 00:49, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm eager to dive in. I've just been a little hesitant because there is such an active community here; I don't want to be presumptuous so I've been treading lightly. I've already involved myself over at the Deconstruction entry, and once I'm back from vacation and have access to my journal archive and books, I'll roll my sleeves up and try to do a little good at existentialism. Thanks again for the kind words! Freddie deBoer 05:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Hi- Why is it you suggest to delete this article
I see you have proposed the deletion of this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_and_Justice_Alliance). I would like to know:
a) How I can access the discussion on the proposed deletion of this article. I have searched in several places, but it is not very easy to find anything unless you know all the terminology used here.
b) Why exactly you think it should be deleted.
Thank you. --Kombucha 02:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Frank.Feather 02:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)I submitted the page Frank Feather, which is a biography page about myself. I notice you may be watching/editing this page? but can't find a note by you. It seems that somebody thinks there is a copyright error on the "Frank Feather" page, which appears to relate to a book listed there, and authored by me, entitled "Future Consumer.com" but the so-called infringement merely links to a page of some organization which has a review of my book and its book cover, which clearly shows me as the author. I don't know how such a potential infringement could possibly be contemplated, unless it is somehow computer generated. Can you please resolve this issue? There is no copyright infringement on the "Frank Feather" page. Thanks!

Sorry to bug ya, but I saw you leave a few helpful comments regarding userbox formatting (which I promptly stole ;P) on another user's page, and figured you could help me with a question. On my userpage, all my userboxes are stacked in a neat column on the right side of the page, but between two of the userboxes (the WikiProject Computer and Video Games and the PlayStation 2 boxes) there's a bit of white space that I haven't been able to get rid of. Doesn't seem to be involved in the height tags of either userbox. Ideas? TKarrde 05:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes we are trying to rival Brittannica, but we will never beat Britannica at its own game. What sets Wikipedia apart is its openness and the fact that all can edit. Its bureaucracy has spawned massive problems, largely over what is and is not "notable". For example, minor Canadian highways and webcomics have articles while articles on other subjects of substantially greater interest are deleted. Why? Because of the whims and arbitrary decisions of administrators. Wikipedia has, sadly, as a result, devolved into a series of fight and political maneuvering dominated by entrenched factions that resent the contributions of newcomers. To this end, we must abolish administrators giving their rights to all, and end arbitrary discussions of article notability. For more see, TJWhite's page. LaRevolution 15:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jdoorjam. Before I make an offcial nomination, I wanted to ask you whether or not you wanted to be an admin. You seem like the kind of guy that Wikipedia needs to be an admin, and, to be totally truthful, you act more like an admin than a lot of the admins do. Your repeted contrabutions to the Colleges of the USA and generall tidy up of wikipedia, not to mention how you handled the userbox deletion episode shows that you have what it takes. So, should I nominate you?

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those.

Your comments are welcomed at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. --JW1805 (Talk) 03:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Hamsacharya Dan is back with his usual vandalism. Adityanath, the sysop on watch, is going on a holiday. Please see my Talk Page, Mahavatar Babaji Talk Page, and Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath Talk page to understand the situation that led me to you. We need your help and other sysops whom you might know.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for agreeing to help us, bro. He is really persistent. The pages he is concentrating on vandalizing are Kriya Yoga, Mahavatar Babaji, Adi-Nath, and Nath.

Hello how are you? :)
One question... why did you edit the Jentina page? I was updating it because there are many many wrong parts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanV (talk • contribs)
Ok :) thanks a lot for answering. ^^ will try to do my best for the next time then. Regards, DanV ^^
Hi...I'm a newbie but trying hard to help out...I monitor the Recent Changes and notice that you keep reverting the Simpsons reference...it this because the person doing it doesn't explain how the Simpsons do the parody? Thanks... KsprayDad 01:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok...so what is happening is that the Simpsons part is being caught by the rollback (I installed godlight so I could to rollbacks)...I'll go in and put the Simpsons in with a {citation needed} tag...does that make sense?
put it on my page too...gave you credit infront of the rest!

What do you make of this? I had a message asking me to watch this page. Why don't they just protect the thing? Thanks, Dlohcierekim 04:37, 11 March 2006 (UTC) (aka user:Mikereichold)
Hi, I'm going to keep this succinct. Each of the parties involved have strong opinions of what they believe to be the truth. I've made mistakes, but have made every effort to communicate analytically and come to concensus. Instead of taking discussion seriously, they have decided to pose as Sysops, sending me fake notices and aggressively altering my edits. NoToFrauds was banned already once. NoToFrauds has also gone through the trouble of tracing my IP address and figuring out my identity, in order to reveal it all over the talk pages, and I find it very frightening that he would do that. I've never condemned someone for having their own opinion, but these incessant personal attacks are unnecessary and are hurting the environment of Wikipedia. I honestly have not seen a single constructive edit from NoToFrauds.... FireStar is currently mediating the discussion on the Mahavatar Babaji page. Hamsacharya dan 05:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
My first every article was deleted by this user...but I can see why. It did look like some crazy ad for the Spam Cube, though it wasn't (it was hard making an article that didn't sound like that though, seeing as everything I'd heard about the Spam Cube was positive). I applaud JDoorjam for fighting vandalism in the Wikipedia...I just ask him to not delete anymore of my articles. ;)
JDoorjam,
Thanks for the context for the message on my talk page. It happens occasionally, but hopefully I can avoid it by using more test-n messages like I have been recently. Just as kind of a heads up on a tool that might be hidden, I've been using Kbh3rd's Vandal Warning toolbox and I've been thoroughly enjoying the simplicity. Anyway, thanks for your help, and keep up the good work! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 18:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. I was asked to look in on the Babaji controversy and have posted some comments at the above talk page. Your thoughts on the matter would be welcome. Regards, --Fire Star 21:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to protect my face from an anon vandal. I really appreciate your assistance. Regards Netkinetic 23:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I responded to a recent change on the Ivy League article at 21:59, 11 March 2006 by User:Mcorcoran where he claimed that he would take legal action "As an administrator of the University (of Pennsylvania)"against a fellow user.[4]. I responded to his claim by pointing out that he should not threaten legal action as an administrator of UPenn especially when he is not one as evidenced by his User Bio. my response (User:Mcorcoran's bio). He has responded to me with a threatening message on my user talk
<<Please do not get upset. You are insecure about the fact that you attend a low ranking state school (ok half state school) . Other than the open green spaces, your campus looks ugly. Cornell's buildings are absolutely awful. Also, hate to break the news but Cornell was not even around during the Colonial period. Just because you could not get into one of the Ancient Four (Penn, Harvard, Yale and Princeton) does not mean you can make rude comments. Grow up. Just to let you know Cornell is named after one of my ancestors. Oh, knowbody uses "UPENN" (only low class non WASPs); its "PENN.">>[5]
I am reporting this to you as an admin.--Xtreambar 00:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I passed this on to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents as I think that is a more approriate route. I am trying to figure this complaint process out. --Xtreambar
Thank you for your quick response.--Xtreambar 02:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Why do you insist on replacing Penn's founding date with an inaccurate date. The University only recognizes 1740.
Sorry man, I forgot about that. Seriously, you replied within 2 or 3 minutes from when I wrote that. You rule! NIRVANA2764 22:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Why did you just revert my edits on my talk page? 84.92.202.117 23:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I feel that, in most cases, a username that even a few people find troublesome should probably be changed, or (if the subject refuses) blocked indefinitely. A cursory glance at his userpage suggests he just might be here for the purpose of political trolling. I'd say look at his contributions and decide whether you think he should be taken seriously enough for the former option, otherwise invoke the latter immediately. — Mar. 13, '06 [01:10] <freakofnurxture|talk>
You did not "clean up" this article, you removed true information, verified by one of the sources in the external links section, and left the article misleading as a result. I have reverted your edits. --M@rēino 02:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I hereby award The Abusive Admin Barnstar to JDoorjam for (1) taking on the Cdigix corporation and its over-eager employee, User:Infinitel00p and (2) staying civil even though I got whiny about Jeremy Waldron |
Just to let you know, at the request of the creator, I've sent him the content of the article as it appeared prior to its deletion. I've also sent it to User:Henrik, who (on IRC), along with User:That Guy, From That Show! ([6]), has offered to help User:Jtakano turn it into an encyclopedia article worthy of wikipedia. Just to let you know, I've asked them to let me know prior to recreating the article, and that I'd let you know--to help allay any appearance of misconduct. Cheers, Tomertalk 11:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on becoming an admin! I was hoping you could help with something. In deletion review (and the deletion process for that matter) and article was deleted that I believe should not have been. User:Tony Sidaway agrees. The article was deleted for notability, but the person in question was mentioned in about a dozen different mainstream media articles, included a recent front page article in the New York Times. Can you take a look and vote accordingly? The review is here. Wikipedia:Deletion Review#John Bambenek. Thanks. -- Alpha269 04:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Aldeberan whiskey has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe 17:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
