You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Thank you for your work on the FLC for another one of my lists!--GrapedApe (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Of course! It was excellent. So... when is the featured topic nom? ;) Jujutacular T · C 18:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- You read my mind! Once I get Washington & Jefferson College up to a GA, which should be in the near term. I have one more FLC to go (List of Washington & Jefferson Presidents head football coaches) and some GA nominations for Burnett Center and Technology Center (Washington & Jefferson College) and Washington & Jefferson Presidents football, if you're interested in checking those out. I'd really appreciate it, if you're interested!--GrapedApe (talk) 02:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- I have minimal experience with GA, so I probably won't be reviewing them, but I'll be glancing through to see if I can make any improvements! If I have some time I'll take a look at the FLC. Jujutacular T · C 00:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Did I ever tell you I started learning classical guitar because of you? Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
- Really? Very nice! I haven't really gotten any pieces up to FS quality as of late, but I still play a bit. My dream would be to get Bach's Fugue from Violin Sonata No 1 up to par, but it is quite difficult. What pieces have you been into? Jujutacular T · C 03:31, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Mainly Sor's 24 progresssive lessons. Thought it was a good place to start, no? Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, a great place to start. A good resource if you haven't found it is http://www.classtab.org. Sheet music is of course preferable, but it has an extensive list of free material. Jujutacular T · C 19:40, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge
The thing about it is, is that you don't go off the !votes. You see what people are saying then a decision is based off of that. There have been lots of mergers that don't get done based on the validity of the what people are saying against it. You just went ahead and merged without any real closure to the vote. See if there was a Nataly Dawn article, would you want to merge it? I mean she does her solo stuff, Pomplamoose, and her new project called My Terrible Friend with Lauren O'Connell. I still think if you look, then you will more information to put in the Jack Conte article even if it's a little bit of information. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 21:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Honestly I didn't go by # of votes, I did go by what people were saying. That said, I think it would be a good idea to make an inquiry for a third opinion to close the debate. Like I said, I really have no strong feelings either way, just that a decision should be made. Jujutacular T · C 21:40, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- I've requested Arbitrarily0 to close it. Just keep checking to see what happened on it. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 13:50, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Jujutacular T · C 13:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- Mr. C.C., I understand the closure did not go in your way, and so I hope you do not think that I simply picked a side. It seemed that merging was a reasonable solution that was more supported by consensus. Thank you both for remaining so civil throughout. Sincerely, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:12, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

- Splendid! I have received your email and am now constructing a quaint nomination which shall be ready soon. While not necessary to know, it is somewhat helpful to refer to you in the nomination as a 'he' or 'she'. Is there one which you prefer? If you'd rather not say (which is perfectly fine), feel free to revert this message. Talk to you soon, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 18:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- You may refer to me as "he" :) Jujutacular T · C 18:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

- You're welcome, don't mention it. It all looks perfectly fine to me. You'll likely get a lot of questions in the next couple days, but take you're time with them - make sure your answers are just the way you want. Other than that: good luck! :) Take it easy always, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 22:21, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, it looks like I was four minutes late to the . If you check my contribs for the last five minutes you will see that I tried to rally WP Hungary and one of its members to support this debate. There are several assertions of notability in the article. I had begun to edit the AfD before you closed it. Here is what I wrote:
- Comment - No assertion of notability? His article states, "Next year he won the Pazmand Quake competition, considered as an underdog. If I do the math right, that would be approximately in 2005. It also states, "In 2009 he switched to the newest version of the Quake series, called QuakeLive. Varga became an ESL Major Series Player, and finished 4th, in the 5th season." He gets plenty of ghits but I don't speak Hungarian otherwise, I'd try to save this article. ----moreno oso (talk) 04:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Keep - per WP:IAR and the assertions of notability in the article (cf above).
Unfortunately I got the ultimate edit conflict known as an AfD closure. I don't know if any of this makes a difference to you but I think this was a malformed AfD that did not list the right WP for notification. ----moreno oso (talk) 04:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- I've relisted the AFD so discussion can continue, per your new argument. Thanks. (P.S. my first AFD closure as an admin lol...) Jujutacular talk 05:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I know Dr. Blofeld through another editor who I've encountered in my Wiki-travels. In the past month, I've DB get several DYK (Did You Know) frontpage items and sincerely hope that he can save this article. I will post my comments as per above, place a Rescue tag on the article and then post my same comments or thereabouts on the article talkpage. ----moreno oso (talk) 05:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Well deserved, glad to see you got the mop. J04n(talk page) 20:16, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, congratulations! You might also like to know that you are currently the youngest admin account by creation date (Except for 4 adminbots and a replacement account, but those don't count). You could consider that a special honor, since it means that you managed to get the communities trust extremely fast - not many editors manage to do so, and even fewer manage to do so while receiving unanimous support. In other words, have fun with the mop! I have no doubt that you will put it to good use. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 00:01, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Sega Dreamcast
Hi Jujutacular. I just noticed that my nomination for the Sega Dreamcast was closed under "Not Promoted". How come? A majority supported the nomination (in fact, it was a 2:1 ratio), so can you please explain on my talkpage why it wasn't promoted? Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 20:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Voters that express a support that is not full (usually denoted by 'weak') are generally counted as 1/2 of a full support. Recent example: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Uranium Billet. Thus, I counted J Milburn's and Gut Monk's support as half, leading to a 5:3 ratio (~63%). Jujutacular talk 20:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, but I'm still confused by the outcome of the nomination. Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 20:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- For promotion, it would need two-thirds majority in support, as outlined at the top of WP:FPC. Since it had less than that, I closed it as unsuccessful (three-fifths < two-thirds). What, specifically, is confusing you? Jujutacular talk 20:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Apparently there are several Ross Allens, such as an English footballer & perhaps someone involved in cricket. There are also many hits in google with a search for Ross Allen. Although there are not articles in Wikipedia now on these individuals, it is conceivable that one will be created in the future. I considered this when I created the article name as Ross Allen (herpetologist). You can see some of this by the “what links here”. Accordingly, I reverted this recent name change move. If you disagree, please take it to the discussion page. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 13:09, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Pls help understand deletion of "Cyprus Peace Bazaar"
Re: Your DELETING of "Cyprus Peace Bazaar"
Dear Jujutacular
I am relatively new to Wikipedia, but I am trying hard to help document some very important aspects of the Cyprus peace process. As you may realize, the struggle for peace in a conflicting society is not a very popular subject and many times those involved are victimized by society and are not always willing to stand up and report their roles.
In any case, being one of the key players in the Cyprus peace movement (this can be verified by contacting the Head of the UN program in Cyprus) I am in a position to know that certain events have been historically instrumental for the creation of the peace movement on the island, and it would be helpful to be able to find a short description in an encyclopedia such as the wikipedia. One of those events, was the Cyprus Peace Bazaar. This event has been organized and supported by the two most active organzations in Cyprus: UN & Fulbright.
I might have not been the right person to post it on Wikipedia, and having it deleted makes me feel responsible.
I would therefore like to have your advice what would it require to highlight and validate the significance of that event so as to re-publish it.
Also I would greatly appreciate if you could guide me how I could re-list it.
Futuristas (talk) 16:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Futuristas, thank you for leaving a very courteous note.
- For starters, you should take a few guidelines that are relevant here:
- Wikipedia:Notability: Wikipedia requires that all the subjects it covers have already been discussed in detail in reliable sources (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources). Searches on google yielded nothing pertaining to the event ([1] [2] [3]).
- Wikipedia:No original research: Wikipedia is not a place for original research. Every fact here should be backed up by a reliable source. Also see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
- If you believe that there is significant coverage of the event in reliable sources, I would suggest reworking the page at User:Futuristas/Cyprus Peace Bazaar (click on the red link to begin the page). It is a subpage of your user page, where you may work on the article without it appearing in the main encyclopedia pages. If and when you feel that the page meets the above guidelines, you can let me know and I will submit it for you at Wikipedia:Articles for creation.
- I hope this helps. Regards, Jujutacular talk 16:48, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Jujutacular I appreciate your detailed response very much. I appreciate the time you put into it. It helps me become a better Wikipedia contributor. I would appreciate if you could place the text I developed for the Peace Bazaar in my user space because I did not keep a copy. Some colleagues wish to re-write it, it would therefore be useful to recall what we wrote before. Thank you in advance.
Futuristas (talk) 16:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, not a problem. I have restored the article and placed it at User:Futuristas/Cyprus Peace Bazaar. Regards, Jujutacular talk 17:44, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Signpost "Features and admins" column
Hi Jujutacular, The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.
Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from last Saturday to this Friday will be eligible. They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I would definitely be interested and willing to do so, I'll take a look this Saturday. Thanks! Jujutacular talk 04:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! Dabomb87 (talk) 16:54, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Of course, my pleasure. Jujutacular talk 16:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

the bobby mc gee's
Hello, I saw that you deleted again the page for Bobby McGee's. Ibelieve I had pointed out on the talk page before it was deleted that I do not think two people agreeing with each other really counts as a "discussion" in the phrase "deletion discussion" - would you be interested in recreating the page so a proper deletion discussion involving more than two people can take place? I am doing this as a first step before possibly opening a deletion review. Many thanks, The Actual Salman Rushdie (talk) 15:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- I've userfied the article at User:The Actual Salman Rushdie/The Bobby McGee's. You can also evaluate the original version of the article that was deleted in the AFD discussion. The discussion actually involved 3 users, and yes this is generally considered sufficient when unanimous. I would suggest letting others discuss it before recreation in the mainspace at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Jujutacular talk 15:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
VFactory
Thanks for the delete and move of VFactory/V Factory. One thankyou for a generally thankless task. Si Trew (talk) 07:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Not a problem! Regards, Jujutacular talk 07:22, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Keeping you busy...
[4]. I thought he might reconcile, but based on the history, he's obviously a long-term problem. Dabomb87Public (talk) 19:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, dealt with. Jujutacular talk 19:39, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't think whack-a-mole will work for long. Do you mind temporarily semi-protecting the articles at Special:Contributions/68.218.39.224? Dabomb87Public (talk) 20:14, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- A better idea, done. Let me know if any other articles come up. Jujutacular talk 20:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. 1978 FIFA World Cup is the only other target for now, but I'll post more here if/when Supersonic moves on to them (if you don't mind). Dabomb87Public (talk) 20:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done. I don't mind, but I may be headed out pretty soon however. Suggest pinging another admin if I don't respond promptly if any more come up. Jujutacular talk 20:28, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Last one: I found User:Messi is D10S, a possible throwaway account; based on editing behavior, he looks like a probable duck. Thanks so much for your help! I owe you a beer (or three). Dabomb87Public (talk) 20:30, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome, and don't worry about the drinks. Just promise to turn this link blue soon :) Jujutacular talk 20:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Question about deleted page
Hi Jiju,
I would kindly ask to discuss with me the subject`s significance of the page Khan Wars. If the problem is in the references I can find you right away tons of References to this page. Thank you for your time! Have a nice week!Hanovete (talk) 13:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Juju, I would like to discuss with you the possibility to re-edit the page Khan Wars. I can provide you with a tons of References. Thank you for your time! Have a nice week! 13:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanovete (talk • contribs)

When you feel it is ready you may inquire at Wikipedia:Articles for creation where other editors will discuss its merit. Make sure that the page follows relevant guidelines, specifically:

Protecting templates
Hello! Just a friendly FYI, when you protect a template, please remember to wrap the <noinclude> tags around it, like I did here. As is, the protection template has now been transcluded as well, causing Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates to go from ~15 to 329. :) Dunno if it's all related, but a good deal is. Since I fixed the template above, the job queue will eventually clear it out, so no worries there. Thanks, and keep up the great work! Avicennasis @ 20:15, 7 Elul 5770 / 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oops! Sorry about that. Thank you very much for the correction, I'll be more careful in the future. Jujutacular talk 20:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Photo rights changed
Hi Jujutacular,
I have had the author of the photographs we discussed on my talk page change the rights settings for the 3 photos in question on his Flickr account. Can you let me know if this now qualifies to be reuploaded?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/superiorview/
Thanks -- Subx (talk) 14:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- That looks just fine, thank you! I used a bot to upload them to the Wikimedia Commons - where the majority of images on Wikipedia are stored. The files are:
- Let me know if there is ever anything else I can do for you. Happy editing! Jujutacular talk 15:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Illinois peer review
Please see here I figured this might interest you. As always, please respond on my talk if you have something to say. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:26, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the edit on the AfD.
And my apologies for putting subsections with notes and bibliography on what should be a simple AfD nomination. I appreciate you changing the heading levels there right away. I'll look out for that issue and try not to let it happen again—I'll just assert facts to the POV-pushers and let them look up the footnotes. Keep up the good work. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 03:40, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Not a problem, I just happened to load the AFD log page after you put it in. Happens commonly. Happy editing! Jujutacular talk 06:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Listed buildings in Rivington
I have been away but it was pointed out to me that you picked Listed buildings in Rivington as your choice in Signpost Choice of the week. I'd like to thank you for your very kind remarks and I'd like to visit too as I haven't been there for over 40 years!. Thank you very much:-)--J3Mrs (talk) 15:39, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
