Thanks Altaileopard. Just learning. Hope I didn't step on your toes. I tried to keep any previous authors' thoughts intact and merge mine with it. My first time. Jobberone 02:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

February 2012

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Bidgee has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 11:06, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I see what happened. I left the least offensive thing I could think of since Bidgee looked solid. I just misread his own revision. Not sure what happened in clearing the vandalism. The IP address that left it was not warned. Thanks.Jobberone (talk) 11:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

Well, this is the first time in my Wikipedia career I've been accused of vandalism! I replaced some reverted overwriting with some minor tweaks, that's all. kencf0618 (talk) 02:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ken. It was the word cum that I was looking at. It triggered a vandalism alert. I couldn't really tell if it was the bad word or not so I reverted it. If it really means something else then please revert it back to the way you had it. Cheers! I'll leave this on your talk page as well.Jobberone (talk) 03:01, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify March Mini Drive

Delivered by benzband (talk) on behalf of WikiProject Wikify 18:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to bother you [again], but the March "Mini" drive doesn't start until March 8, 2012, 00:00 AM UTC (see drive page for dates), due to some complicated organizing. I realize other users may have gone ahead and started logging, but i have left them a note too. Thanks again, benzband (talk) 20:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

World War

Hi, with this edit you changed World War II into World War 2. However, throughout Wikipedia "World War II" is/seems to be the preferred notation; so i'm changing it back (unless you have an objection). Cheers, benzband (talk) 18:56, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually I changed it from WW2 to WW II while wikifying it. Left you a message on your talk page.Jobberone (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Dispute question

Hello, I and one other author have been going back and forth with edits on the Stress Field Detector article. I stopped editing the article but have continued documenting on the talk page. However, not sure if or when any other editors will look into this. The other author who goes by 173.180.170.31 or Alik 72 claims to have been involved with the technology at an early stage and I question whether he should be editing. Overall the article has become sloppy (lots of unreferenced claims) and I'd appreciate if someone else could take a look at it. Saw Feynman above so thought this might of interest. I started the article in 2008 when I first discovered wikipedia. Probably should have left this to the pros. --Hmatos (talk) 21:46, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify and the future of wikification

DRN needs your help!

Hey there Jobberone, I noticed you've listed yourself as a volunteer at the dispute resolution noticeboard but you haven't been very active there lately - I was hoping if you had some spare time if you could take a look there and offer some assistance. Thanks again for your help :-) Steven Zhang ^{Help resolve disputes!} 11:26, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I've been busy lately but I'll try to do a little work here and there. Thanks for the invite. Jobberone (talk) 21:49, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I came to answer the question from my talk page. When closing thread you need to (all within the case):

1. replace the first unnamed argument of {{DR case status}} (it should be "open", "stale" or "review") with either "resolved" (if resolved on noticeboard) or "closed" (if resolved elsewhere or DR failed);
2. replace the string starting with "" with a template {{DRN archive top|rationale here ~~~~}};
3. put {{DRN archive bottom}} at the bottom of the case.

So it would look like this:

== Example article ==
{{DR case status|resolved}}
{{drn filing editor|Example|13:49, 1 September 2012 (UTC)}}
{{DRN archive top|Consensus on wording was reached. ~~~~~}}
<span style="font-size:110%">'''Have you discussed this on a talk page?'''</span>
<...>
{{DRN archive bottom}}

Hope I wasn't too late to answer. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Nope not to late and extremely helpful. You sir are a gentleman! Thanks! Jobberone (talk) 19:21, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

The article Mixed breed dog

Thank you for your help. I noticed from your talk page that you are interested in improving articles about dogs, and you seem to be knowledgable about them. You are familiar with the article Mixed breed dog. Are you interested in working with us on improving that article? There are several talk page sections that could be responded to, and, needless to say, feel free to edit. Chrisrus (talk) 03:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite and I'll try to get by some but right now I'm having problems keeping up with the work I need to do. I was asked to help more at the DRN and I'll try to do that some. Thanks again. Jobberone (talk) 04:11, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

The citation we are using for the lead distinguishes crossbreeds, the result of artificial selection, and mongrels ("mixed breeds"), which are not intentially mated looking for a particular intended result. I find in my personal experience that most people do repect this distinction in context; few people call Maltipoos and such "mixed breeds", although some proponents of purebred dogs do. So I undid your shortening of the lead based on the fact that this is what the citation says, but besides that, it seems to be true, and we have another article about crossbreeds and they are outside of the scope of the article about naturally selected mongrels, only. For example, many of the things you improved the article with about, the problems of inbreeding inherent to purebreeding, seem to be also true of the breeding of crossbreed dogs, which are also deliberately back-bred and inbred in order to get the to breed true. I hope you will agree that it's natural to that referent of the article mongrel naturally seems to want to be unbred dogs, only, not artificially selected dogs, but more importantly that's what the citation says.

Invitation to comment at Monty Hall problem RfC

Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:

Talk:Monty Hall problem#Conditional or Simple solutions for the Monty Hall problem?

This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Do you mind clarifying who you are replying to with your latest comments in the "Defining the problem and your goals" section. It seems pretty unclear to me :). -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 12:03, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure. TransporterMan. Everytime I bring up the subject of moving dispute resolution to mediation then arbitration he brings up his proposal which I have never even seen. I'm happy to look at it but I really don't care who proposes what and how as long as we move to fix the dispute process. IMO, it will remain mired in bureaucracy and stalemate unless we change the current process. It wasn't my intention to offend anyone although I expected my comments would some as it conflicts with the status quo. I'm not trying to be controversial or adversarial. I also addressed Amadscientist. Best. Jobberone (talk) 18:41, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that.

Editor Assistance Request

Dear Jobberone - We have had difficulty reaching accommodation with another Wikipedia editor, GrandDrake, and would appreciate any “Editor Assistance” you may be able to provide regarding Wikipedia policy in order to reach one.

Please see the “Talk” page for MPEG LA specifically, the conversation under the section entitled “MPEG-2 License Agreement.” GrandDrake’s criticism is based on secondary sources, which he/she has admitted have some inaccuracies. I have offered factual information from undisputed primary sources with proposed language for the “Criticism” section in order to allow users to draw their own opinions of GrandDrake’s criticism. Although I have made various wording revisions to satisfy him/her, GrandDrake continues to reject the revised language, citing WP:PRIMARY and WP:NOR. I do not consider the sources I want to cite as being “original research” as they are reliable, published sources. While I would agree that the sources I want to cite are “primary sources”, Wikipedia states that “primary sources” can be used to make “…straightforward, descriptive statements of facts…” which is what I have done.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Otherwise, I look forward to any assistance that you are able to provide. Thank you. --Oemtom (talk) 20:11 17 June 2013 (UTC)

It is the opinion pieces used as references in the criticism that are being used to advance a position. I only want to present the facts for balance so readers can have the benefit of knowing them and draw their own conclusion. I'll think about possible next steps. Thanks for your help. --Oemtom (talk) 15:58 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Editor Assistance Request - White Privilege

Dear Jobberone

I am having difficulty with a number of editors on adding criticism to the "White Privilege" page. This situation is complicated.

I went down the route of an RfC on the idea of creating a Critique section. This was rejected and I accept this. However, a number of editors are now claiming that, in the process of rejecting the Critique section, all the criticisms are also rejected. This I do not accept as the criticism have good RS. These editors refuse to engage with a discussion on the RS and revert my edits. I am a bit lost as what to do next, and I need help with resolving this dispute.

You can find reference to the talk page here http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:White_privilege#White_Privilege_as_ad_hominem_attack and here http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:White_privilege/Archive_11#RfC_should_this_article_contain_a_"Critique_section".

Im sorry the debate is so long, and hope you can help me identify the best way to resolve this. Thank you.Keith Johnston (talk) 10:35, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Dear Jobberone, I had posted requesting help but then saw your previous post saying that you were going in for surgery. I hope that you are doing better soon! Best, Murray Daw

Research Project

Hi Jobberone

I'm an anthropology student doing an online research project on wikipedians and their motivations and ideals for writing and editing wikipedia pages. I was wondering if you would be interested in answering a few questions I have - sort of like a small online interview.
