TPB Trial

You did a great job with the article. Floker (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but most of it I didn't actually do. I got the article rolling, that is about it. JeremyWJ (talk) 17:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's the way things get done, isn't it. Floker (talk) 18:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Home Improvement

Actually, I sourced the Home Improvement edition of E! True Hollywood Story which aired December 18, 2005. In addition, I simply linked Hollywood Story to its Wiki page. Would that suffice, or do I need to link to online video footage from the Hollywood Story episode? I frequently see citations from books or TV episodes without links to the actual information as available online. And regardless of whether or not it will suffice, the Home Improvement article definitely should have the information I included regarding the show's end and ideas for a ninth season. Cale (talk) 03:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You must source where you actually got the information from. Saying it came from E! is not enough. You can't reference another wikipedia article either as that violates WP:RS. I agree this is valuable information you added (if true). If you can actually source it, a direct link to the video would suffice, that would be great. It would probably be better though if you could find a site that has an article about it. If this is true, I'm betting one exists. JeremyWJ (talk) 03:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TPB

Just wondering if you have any affiliation with the TPB. 86.43.178.17 (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. However I do support them very strongly. JeremyWJ (talk) 18:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Me too... sort of. They probably should have removed the autopsy torrent. 86.43.178.17 (talk) 20:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sick, yes. But I stand behind them on that decision. The only torrents that ever should be removed are fake ones and child pornography. Beyond that you can't start drawling lines in different places or you destroy what TPB stands for. You may wonder why I'd say draw the line at child pornography then. My stance on that (outside of it being extremely wrong) is that just accessing it could get your users (from anywhere in the world) in serious trouble and land them in jail because its illegal everywhere basically. So that line must be drawn to protect the users. Keep in mind that sharing copyrighted data is not actually illegal in most of the world. Its a civil offense, not criminal like child pornography. Although the MPAA and others may claim its stealing, that is not the case. If it was, people would be locked up for it. JeremyWJ (talk) 20:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. Big greedy corporations get away with overcharging on their products everyday. I wouldn't lose any sleep over them making a big fuss over it. I hope TPB takes down the cp torrents though, that stuff is simply evil. 86.46.219.9 (talk) 15:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You Seem to Be The One To Ask This...

How are those who downloaded torrents going to be affected? I've used TPB before, and I was wondering if this makes all of us who do, legally vulnerable. 86.46.200.106 (talk) 23:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Pirate Bay verdict does not affect in anyway the site itself or the users of the site. You are no more or less "vulnerable" to getting caught than you were before. Keep in mind that you have a better chance of dropping dead ... now.. then ever getting sued or anything for filesharing. JeremyWJ (talk) 01:04, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TPB

[1] I do trust in your greater knowledge, but the site is definitely down for now. --87.79.175.237 (talk) 21:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That does not matter. Wikipedia is not a play-by-play. Since this is only a temporary outage, the status must stay as online. Besides, for some people it is still online. We simply can not be the Internet's status house. Websites by nature have down periods. JeremyWJ (talk) 22:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Must"... no, nothing must, see WP:IAR. But I agree, I similarly despise people updating live scores for ongoing sports matches etc. --87.79.175.237 (talk) 23:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the wide established general consensus on this issue, you can never apply that to this issue. If you tried, it would be struck down right away. Therefor, yes ... its a "must". The only way you can change that is to move to change the general consensus. Good luck with that. JeremyWJ (talk) 23:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I take somewhat categorical issue of the word "must" (in my country, there's a saying that the only thing one "must" do is die one day), and after some 20.000+ edits I daresay I know quite a bit about the inner workings of this project, and I already said I agreed with you, but ok. 87.79.49.26 (talk) 07:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe "must" was not the best word. But that doesn't take away from what I said or the Wikipedia policy on this issue and the general consensus. JeremyWJ (talk) 18:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TPB

Oh, I see. Yes, I misunderstood that and other articles. Thank you for correcting me on this issue. Quinxorin (talk) 02:54, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. JeremyWJ (talk) 04:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrinkles' last meal

It was definitely that i was confused rather than not believing it. Being a Brit, it's a little outside my realm of experience. Thanks for the explanation - makes complete sense, really. tomasz. 02:50, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Organization/organisation

FWIW 'The Pirate Bay Trial' article appears to be evenly split between organization/organized and organisation spellings with about a half dozen instances of each. :-) Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 17:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not anymore. Its better for you to correct this yourself than inform me really. This happened though because people changed it or added it and it just wasn't noticed. JeremyWJ (talk) 19:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I, and my browser's built-in spellchecker, prefer the 'z'. Thank you for making the spelling in the article consistent. :-) Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 01:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My browser, firefox, also likes the 'z'. However, that is because we have the en-us version installed. There is en-gb which would have the correct spelling in this case. JeremyWJ (talk) 01:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just had a edit conflict as I was editing at the same time as you. Here is the conflicted edit -- Interestingly, "British usage accepts both -ize and -ise (organize/organise, realize/realise, recognize/recognise)." http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 01:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GAR for TPB

The Pirate Bay has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are here. Pcap ping 23:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation?

This is getting us nowhere, except an edit war. Would you be open to mediating this content dispute? --Muboshgu (talk) 19:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
