President of the United States

The Presidential election has not occurred. Do not put false information into Wikipedia (i.e. Bush leaving office in 2005). Your political views are your own opinion.Jwinters 1412, 30 Oct 2004 (PDT)

But, it was SO worth it. AdamJacobMuller T@lk Sat Nov 13 04:30:19 GMT 2004

Tokyo

Hello AdamJacobMuller, I changed the population of Tokyo back to the number that remained in the text. Here's the difference: for Tokyo itself (Tokyo-to, the governmental district covered by the article), the population is 12 million; the figure of 33 million is for the Greater Tokyo Area, which includes not only Tokyo, but also Chiba Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture (and thus has a much larger population. Hope that clears up the discrepancy. Fg2 06:24, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

Protection

Hi, it's nice of you to try and intervene, but some people might think you were trying to be misleading by placing a {{protected}} notice on a page that isn't actually protected. I'm afraid actually protecting a page from editing is a feature limited to administrators. Anyway, I went ahead and protected the page now. --Michael Snow 23:05, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I thought adding {{protected}} actually protected the page. Sorry for the mixup. --AdamJacobMuller T@lk Sat Oct 30 00:04:04 GMT 2004

The Randi Rhodes Show

You put that your changes were a 'rv changes by Mkrupnic'. Not sure what that ment, can you let me know what i did wrong, i am still learning. It appears you only removed the changes by User:Sverdrup. Does this mean you reverted to my version? -Mkrupnic 20:26, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I actually only removed the changes by User:Sverdrup, keeping your version, saying 'rv Mkrupnic' was a gaffe on my part. AdamJacobMuller Talk Sun Oct 31 00:26:41 GMT 2004

Adam, can you add a note to Image:Randi.rhodes.jpg concerning its copyright status & terms of use? While I assume that it's covered by fair use, lack of the necessary information will likely lead to it being deleted down the road -- which has been happening to many images. Thanks. -- llywrch 18:08, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Pace University seal controversy

I have retrieved a Spring 2005 "registration confirmation" which, sure enough, features the "old" seal. It is one of those large blue envelopes you receive prior to each semester.

It is true that most universities has both a logo and a seal. But, I think the precedent is to use the seal, if it is available; for example, see Boston University. The BU website displays only the logo with the seal nowhere to be found, just like the Pace website. Yet, the seal is still used in the artcile. Not sure what the reasoning is, but I think it makes the article (and the university) look more professional. -Ld | talk 01:17, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image for Future TV show template

Fair enough. Could you put in an image to replace it? Maybe a GFDL image of a TV with a GFDL image of a clock? ShutterBugTrekker 21:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

to be honest, my drawing skills have been the same for the past 19 years (i'm 21 now :P) and are mostly limited to the most basic of stick figures. So, while I probably could do that, you most certinaly would not like the result AdamJacobMuller 19:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks

Regarding you comment in template:user OS:GNU/Linux, I would like to remind you to please refrain from personal attacks. Furthermore, just because I like the name GNU/Linux, it does not mean I am an "RMS fanboy" (which is also a sexist remark, BTW). It could also mean that I think that "Linux" is ambiguous as it can refer to both the operating system and the kernel, and thus can be potentially confusing to users and make people think that FUD attacks against the kernel (such as that by SCO) are really against the whole operating system.

Thanks for the initiative. Semi-protection would help, but I don't think that it'll be approved because the page isn't being vandalized, only the external links are being messed with.

Image Tagging Image:Michelle.Trachtenberg.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Michelle.Trachtenberg.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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.

Survivor image

Please stop changing the image on the Survivor front page, the Exile Island logo that is used is an old screengrab from the reunion episode of Guatemala and looks out of place amogst the other clearer images. There is absolutely no order to the logos, it makes zero sense. Furthermore, the Palau logo is oddly shaped. If you don't like the image I put up then make your own, but until you're willing to do that, leave it how it is. HeyNow10029 07:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor: Panama location

The reason I removed "Pearl Islands" is because I never recall anyone saying that it takes place within the Pearl Islands. The most specific location that we're given is Panama. Unless you can cite an official source that says they're in the Pearl Islands that should be removed. Jtrost 22:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite clear on if you actually think that Survivor 12 isn't actually in the Pearl Islands in Panama. In any event, the fact that they are back in the same location has been well documented.

Reply to Wikipedia:Userbox_policy_poll#Oppose

Note that this proposal specifically supports "free expression [by users] on their userpage without censorship or other hindrance", and states that users "may, if they so desire, declare their point of view, and may arrange the space as they wish (including the use of any userboxes)." Claiming to oppose it because "userspace was never indended to conform to encyclopedic goals" seems to be a major misunderstanding. JesseW, the juggling janitor 09:53, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Templates designed for use in userspace should only be permitted where they are of benefit to creating an encyclopaedia hence, you are proposing limiting userboxes to those that conform to encyclopedic goals. AdamJacobMuller 11:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Minor edits

Marking an edit as minor or not is a matter of personal opinion. I think that a revert is a minor edit because I'm restoring an article to an earlier state. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 00:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

Hey, would you mind explaining why you reverted these edits that I made? I felt that information was crufty and unverifiable. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 01:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC) Sure, you reverted substantive edits such as the addition of the line to the table for next week, you also reverted an interesting bit from the trivia which is definitely noteable enough to be included. and you removed the information on next weeks episode which is in fact sourced (listed as being said by Probst). Would you mind explaining how any of this is fancruft or unverifiable?[reply]

The air date (which is the only info that was added), is definitely neither fancruft or unverifiable.
The "next time on survivor" bit could possibly be misconstrued as fancruft, but it's the only verifiable bit of information about the episode next week beyond the date/name so it's notable enough to include for the next week.
The bit about the voting history is (IMO) very interesting, and something even *I* didn't know. I did check that episode (off my DVDs) so what they say did happen, I can't say for a fact that that has never happened at any other point, but to my knowledge it has not occured at any other point.

AdamJacobMuller 02:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad your not going to "get into" an edit war over it, but, quite simply, there is no reason *not* to link to CBS in both places and it makes more sense to link to CBS in both places. What exactly makes it "not look right"? Also, please don't misrepresent the situation, the word is linked twice in the same paragraph, not twice in the same sentence. Also, please pay attention to your spelling, it makes your comments very hard to read. AdamJacobMuller 05:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

This user believes that only articles need reflect a NPOV, and that displaying political, religious, or other beliefs using userboxes and user categories should not be banned.

You have a userbox User:Hexagon1/UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

This template was deleted on 17 February 2006 by Drini. Please stop recreating it. Recreating deleted material accomplishes nothing, since such pages are immediate deletion candidates.

Hi, subst'ing the code onto my page is not helpful and I would like you to never touch my userpage again, and you know if you have absolutely any sense about you whatsoever that you are the one being unreasonable. I am warning you not to delete the page again. I will recreate it per Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/userbox_templates_concerning_beliefs_and_convictions the decision of which was to Keep. Simply because someone else violated policy does not mean that you should follow suit. I do not believe that a reasonable person could look at what you are doing and believe that I am the one that is being unreasnonable and that you are the one who is not. Recreating this page accomplishes much, It is an affirmation by myself and the community that we will not stand for your censorship. We do not agree with your unilateral deletion of pages that are a benefit to the personal freedom and expression of the community.

Category:Nobel Prize in Economics Winners

Why did you add this category to Ronald Coase? It's a redirect. I don't know what's going on with this category, but people keep changing it without discussion.

Honestly, I just looked at the anon users vandalisim (the edit summary gave it away, there is no way that adding a category about winning a nobel prize to an article about a nobel prize winner is POV) and reverted that (you beat me to it actually), I didn't see any good reason not to have both categories in there (seeing as the article says that he won both prizes) but if the Nobel one is no longer being used...

Considering Luria did the original research, his book (even if it is in Russian) is the only one that should be cited.

Reverting or 3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

I know that you mean well, and that reverting vandalism doesn't count towards 3RR, but as this user has a rationale for his removal (although his personal attacks are in my view not helping to state his case...), I think this issue should be discussed rather than repetitiously reverted. --Joann e B 10:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do entirely agree with you, I was mostly operating under the assumption that there was a community concensus about the fact that this non-logged in user who was making personal attacks was not operating in good faith, especially since I was not the only editor who reverted him, there were at least five different editors who reverted his edits. In addition, his edits were POV section blanking which I believe counts as simple vandalism. I just want to make a strong case for exactly why I took those actions.

Survivor Images

Who authored those Survivor images you uploaded. They do not look like official images to me. HeyNow10029 05:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, They were given to me by a friend on a survivor spoiling board that i'm on, I asked and he agreed to license them under the GFDL to put them on wikipedia. They are raster copies of vectorizations of the official logos, basically what this means is that the original raster logo is converted into vector art, which is converted back into vector images. The result is a logo that is sharper and clearer than the other logos and most likely look more like what the original logos looked like. The logos are offiical in the sense that they duplicate every aspect of the original logos. AdamJacobMuller 05:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Academy Awards page edit

I visited a link on the Academy Awards page. The link was to someone's blog and had a biased opinion. As someone who works in the film community, I did not believe that the person's opinions reflected the true nature of the Oscars and what they stand for. The blog was a personal site and critical of Oscar choices, no coherent with Academy procedures. I felt it was important to delete the link to the blog to ensure the neutrality of the Oscars is upheld.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.50.30.76 (talk • contribs) 2006-03-14 19:22:13

Simply because something does not conform to the rules that are established by an external entity does not mean that the content does not belong on wikipedia, if we followed the guidlines for what was acceptable commentary as established by a particular orginzation then most articles would be devoid of any critical commentary whatsoever. I'm not saying that the people who are commenting on the situation are right, or wrong, it's not the job of wikipedia to jude but the job of wikipedia to inform people that there are questions being raised. You are right however that the section, as written that you reverted was highly POV. It was written in a very bad tone, if you check the article as it is now it has in fact been re-written and is now re-written in a much more neutral way. To remove the content as you did is to deny that there is a discussion going on, to re-write the content as Spangineer did is to fix the actual problem, in this case that the text was written in a highly POV way. It is always preferable that you simply correct things that you find objectionable rather than simply blanking sections. In addition, your edit summary does not help (remove absurd POV bilge) and is something that does not make people believe that you are acting in good-faith.

The article I'm trying to get rid of is "Dieties of Kobol", the proper name is "Lords of Kobol" (as it's refered to in subsequent articles and redirected to Dieties of Kobol. I'm trying to get rid of the redirects by putting under it's proper name. Cyberia23 05:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you can't do that as a non-administrator, and for a very good reason. Use one of the appropriate tags to request an administrator to move the page for you, copy/paste is never an acceptable solution AdamJacobMuller 05:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I doubt it really matters, not like the "Lords of Kobol" is such a pivotal article and essential to the development Wikipedia. Cyberia23 05:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, What's your deal? The histories are there! Nothing was ruined. Cyberia23 05:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does matter though, the GFDL requires for purposes of copyright that all parts of an article be attributable. This means that when you copy/paste move the page it appears that you were the sole editor and creator of the page in question, which is not the case. While the original contribuitors could be tracked down not having the content in the right place is going to make things substantially more difficult if the question of copyright should ever come up. I treat every article with the same care, every article is equally important to wikipedia. AdamJacobMuller 06:01, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could see the problem with it if it were a major article, but not something like this> I'm merely trying to correct someones mistake. It shouldn't have been named that, and IMO you're really making big deal out of nothing. Anyway, I've rewritten quite a bit of that article to begin with. Cyberia23 06:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lords of Kobol (Battlestar Galactica)

I moved Lords and Dieties of Kobol to Lords of Kobol (Battlestar Galactica). Hopefully that will solve the problem since I used the MOVE function to copy over the history. Are we cool now? Cyberia23 01:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about Moving things...

If you think I'm bad, check out waht Xornok did to the List of Battlestar Galactica (2004 television series) episodes, check the last history since Topace10. Talk about killing histories. Cyberia23 01:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PNG to SVG flags

Hello. I notice you were doing this. While what you are doing is good, I was wondering if you were doing this by hand or not? If so, I can help you use software to change the images, or if you need a break, let me know and I can finish for you. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wrote something that is semi-automated to do this, basically it does it for me but I monitor the process and make sure that it doesn't cause any problems, At the moment it's a bit of work to set it up, it's basically a PHP class. If you know PHP (your not going to be able to use it without a rudimentary understanding of PHP and/or PCRE) and want a copy hit me up on AIM or ICQ (see my user page :). AdamJacobMuller 04:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you can of course contact me here, it just might not be as easy :) I don't want you to think that i'm forcing you off-wiki AdamJacobMuller 04:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi if this script is running at bot speed you should stop and post on the bot request page. Doing anything at a fast pace can get you a block. Mike _{(T C)}

05:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In general, this really isn't a bot, since all changes that the program makes are monitored by myself, the bot does not take any action that I do not explicetly approve. It's probably closer to AWB, but without the annoying interface. Basically, it works something like this. I gather a list of page names, from, for example the File Links on image pages, I craft a regular expression to do the replacement, for example, something like this:

"#[Ii]mage:[Tt]exas[_ ]state[_ ]flag\.png#" "Image:Flag_of_Texas.svg"

Basically, this covers all possible ways that a page could link to a file, both captilization and underscores or spaces. I take both of theses things, and then run the script, it logs in to wikipedia, fetches pages till it finds one that has the target string (with file links, if you include (not subst) a template on a page it will show in File Links even though it's not directly included in there. Now, once it finds one that is changed, it shows me a diff of the old and new revisions (similar to what would occur with the preview function). I can then accept or reject the change. Basically, this isn't really a bot, it's more along the lines of AutoWikiBrowser, it doesn't ever do anything without my interaction AdamJacobMuller 08:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh i know its not a bot, but editing at bot speed is a bad bad idea as well. What your doing is fine imo, but some admins block bots first, ask questons later. Mike _{(T C)}

After re-reading some of the stuff in WP: i'm going to limit the speed at which I edit AdamJacobMuller 23:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert my edits on Zakir Naik?

Zealous Muslim apologists want to use the page to puff a below-the-radar religious speaker; I keep NPOVing the page. You intervened and reverted my edits, without a word of explanation. Why? Zora 09:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing large blocks of text is generally a bad idea, if it's NPOV re-write it, don't just delete NPOV content AdamJacobMuller 09:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sugar Rush (TV Series)

I note that you keep deleting the information I have added to this page.

Odd how you first declared that my published source didn't exist, then when proved wrong, came up with a patently bogus statement about "people you know" who checked the (now presumably existent) source for you and declared it invalid. To add insult to injury you wrongly asserted this in the edit summary instead of the Talk page, making it difficult to discuss further - presumably your intention. This is not the mark of a good Wikipedian. -- DickTurnip 00:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Jackson.browne.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jackson.browne.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 08:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Resetpass extension on Countervandalism.org

Hi there!

I wrote about this to Essjay on Wikia, but I think he's not going to respond for a while - so I deciced to bug you since you're the only one with dev access on Countervandalism.org, right?

Fair use rationale for Image:Daniel pearl highres.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Daniel pearl highres.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 10:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You were responsible for the redirect target of "Truist".
