Marijuana Wiki

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Userbox Public Transit

According to Wikipedia:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Along the same line: {{Template:User heterosexual}} to {{User:UBX/heterosexual}} and {{Template:User feminism supporter}} to {{User:UBX/feminismsupporter}} —Mira 05:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Userbox

Hello. A userbox you are using (Template:User queerrights) has been moved to user space per WP:GUS. The new link is {{User:UBX/queerrights}}. The link currently being used on your page is a cross-namespace redirect and will not last. If you wish to keep your userbox, it is advisable to change to the new link. If you have any questions about why you are receiving this message, please read this and leave any questions you may still have on my talk page. Thank you. —Shayl^talk 07:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The same goes for Template:User HRC, which is now located at {{User:UBX/HRC}}. As an aside, the reason you are getting these messages is that your user page contains a link to a blacklisted website (jot.com). If you are willing to remove this link, other users will be able to edit your page again. —Shayl^talk 07:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Important Note

You will note that your userpage has been modified in two ways.

First, the "photo" has been removed. This is because you were being a jerk. There is a difference between being inflammatory to the hypersensitive, and being deliberately inflammatory. You are not Allah. Do not claim to be.

Secondly, your link to jot dot com has been removed, because it triggered the spam blacklist. DS 21:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Your username

It became clear to me that you are indeed not James Brown, which is against our username policy. I recommend you to change your username to avoid confusion. Thank you. Michaelas10 (Talk) 21:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I've opened a request for comment over your username, you may wish to respond about the case there. Michaelas10 (Talk) 13:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, if you've been following the RfC you'll note that providing evidence that your name is James Brown would wrap this up. I'm an admin, and if you send me a scan of an ID or personal mail (delete / whiteout any details you dont want to share) we can close the case. Deizio talk 17:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I strongly encourage you not to send any personal information to anyone who asks for it over the internet. This request is inappropriate under Wikipedia:Protecting children's privacy. BigDT 17:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The offer was made in order to verify your use of the name James Brown in respect of a possible violation of WP:USERNAME. I'm happy to withdraw the request, per BigDT's objection, and make clear I don't have any reason to doubt that this is your name. Your userpage also makes this clear. Deizio talk 17:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

You have my condolences....in being confused with a popular R&B singer who died today. Just H 21:40, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

The clear consensus at the request for comment was that your username is fine, you do not need to change it, and you do not need to send anyone your identifying documents. However, some concern was expressed about your making personal details public while you are a legal minor, as that might be a risk to yourself. May I ask, before any further discussion of that issue takes place here, that you consult with your parent(s) or legal guardian(s), show them your user page and this talk page, and take their advice on how much you reveal of yourself here? I think their (verifiable) involvement in that decision would help allay this community's concerns for your safety. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 03:24, 26 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Agree with SAJ above. Username seems to be allowed, I believe you can consider that debate closed. Deizio talk 03:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

User:James Brown/Napalm Deathcography

I've had to speedily delete this page per user criterion 3 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Galleries of fair use images, such as album covers, are not allowed in the user space. Please keep this in mind in the future. --Coredesat 03:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello James Brown, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Proposed deletion of Linkin Park Underground

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Linkin Park Underground, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 22

Hi. When you recently edited Bingo (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Simon Webb (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
