Page move warning
I was acting in good faith moving those pages and thought I was simply doing WikiGnomish work. I won't perform requested moves ever again until I know when to move and when not to move. I'll find some other WikiGnomish work to do instead. Happy editing! ChromaNebula (talk) 20:38, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- You were asked not to move pages that were under discussion a few days ago and then more today. I apologize for the severity of my warning but it wasn't clear to me that you had understood that you were not helping. Perhaps you were confused by the name "Request Move". Some RM's are simply requests because the editor cannot do it themselves for technical reasons. Those are listed as "technical requests" and almost all of them must be executed by an administrator who can get around the technical issues. Regular RM's are requests for discussion about a page move and no action is taken until after the discussion has completed and usually an administrator or savvy editor closes it all out and executes the move.
- I find a lot of gnoming tasks at WP:CLEANUP. Jojalozzo 20:48, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- I forgot my first warning and saw all three of the subsequent ones at the same time. I'm the one who needs to apologize; from now on I'll only do technical requests (at least until I get more experience). By the way, I must compliment you for being a quick responder.

Energypedia link
Thanks for letting me know. However, I don't actually agree. The Energypedia resource is pretty comprehensive (covering a range of technologies), and is much more relevant to the topic than the link to the US Bureau of Lands, which only relates to one country is is very specific. I also added a link to Energypedia to the 'Energy and development' page where arguably it is more relevant - but I think that if the Bureau of Lands link remains then the external links section on the 'Renewable energy' page could be much more comprehensive. Either that or this link should also be removed. Thanks. O-Jay (talk) 11:47, 16 February 2012 (EST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.38.181 (talk)
Editing "The Gospel" Page
I received your email on the "edit warring" and I took your advice and have created a talk section about the portion in question. Is this the way it' supposed to work? If I don't have any correspondance what then?
Thanks for your time and help. God bless — Preceding unsigned comment added by GadsDad (talk • contribs) 23:49, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yes! Good work! Welcome to Wikipedia. I am sure you will get a response, but if there's no response after a few days, then consider restoring your edits with an edit summary that explains no one responded to your request for discussion. I have posted a welcome message on your talk page with some extremely useful inks that will help orient you and get you started off on the right foot. It has basic editing help plus tips like adding 4 tildes (~~~~) after a talk page edit to leave a signature with a time stamp like this: Jojalozzo 00:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the help. An editor and I are corresponding, but he or she right away stated my edits are a Sunday School leaflet. I don't believe that is the character of my edits, but who get's to say what's right? I don't believe this user and I going to come to a consensus.GadsDad (talk) 14:18, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw that. Some editors forget we are all working together and forget the usefulness of everyday manners and basic respect. I find the best response in such cases is to ignore the tone and address the core issues being raised. It's also possible the tone is a response to bias, POV or lack of respect in your entry, so it may be helpful to review the way you raised the question.
- Often in these discussions, you may have questions that you'd like answered. That approach is especially useful when different parties appear to be working from different sets of assumptions.
- Specifically in this case, I understand your correspondent to be saying that a Christian gospel article can benefit from information about how the topic is viewed from non-Christian perspectives. If you disagree, you need to explain how you think that information detracts from it. Jojalozzo 14:41, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks again for all your help, I've updated the Talk area. I wasn't aware of a lack of respect in my entry, but I'll try to avoid that. I believe the bias coming into play here is not one from a Christian perspective, but quite the opposite. The inclusion of material calling into question the validity of scriptures the Gospel is drawn from, is that of a specific religious system that believes contrary to what the Gospel stands for. If there is a perceived bias from (my) Christian perspective, that still does not invalidate the fact that the paragraph in question doesn't relate to informing the reader about the Gospel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GadsDad (talk • contribs) 15:58, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- These are questions and issues to bring up on the Gospel talk page. However, I recommend you first become familiar with the content about Islam and the Gospels so you understand why others think it's useful. You might also be interested in Wikipedia's article about the Qu'ran and it's relationship with other religious literature. Did you know that Muslims accept Jesus as a prophet of God and that Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an more often than Muhammad? Jojalozzo 18:04, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes sir, I am aware of Muslims viewing Jesus as a prophet, they also view Him as only a man, inferior to Muhammad in authority, of which all of this is actually part of the problem. Islam and Christianity are diametrically opposed. Christianity places Jesus as the Christ (the Anointed Messiah), the only begotten Son of God, who died and rose again according to prophecy. Islam and the Qur'an adamantly deny these core central beliefs of Christianity as particularly outlined in the Gospel. The word Gospel itself denoting the Good News of these truths. Muslims in particular deny that Jesus was God's Son (believing that Allah had no son), an integral part of the Gospel message that the Son of God sacrificed Himself as an atonement for man's sins. These beliefs are completely alien to Muslim's belief. Which brings me again to the point that the two sources of information should not intermingle, specifically for the reasons that both belief systems are opposed to each other, and I'd be very surprised if you could find a Muslim familiar with the teachings of the Qur'an that wouldn't verify that.GadsDad (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

- Hello again, It's been around ten days now, and I was wondering if there's any further action that can be taken on the matter of the Islamic perspective in the summary area of the Gospel? I have not deleted the entry as you said, and have tried to have a discussion on the talk page, but there was no resolution. Is there someone like a moderator/administrator able to make a determination if the entry should remain or not? I don't want to be guilty of instigating or maintaining an edit war. Thanks again for your help.GadsDad (talk) 21:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I saw that you were listed at Wikipedia:PRV. Would you mind coming by to help Jayne Mansfield? Her article needs a lot of work. The problem remains that she existed a long time ago, so sources are lacking, but I noticed many sentences are awkwardly written. The article seems misleading or even confusing in some parts. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! ★Dasani★ 04:26, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Requesting review of Folding@home
Hi there Jojalozzo,
I saw that you've listed your name over at WP:PRV. I've been enthusiastically editing pretty extensively on Folding@home, and achieved GA status early last month. It's an article about a powerful distributed computing project which simulates protein folding for disease research, so you might be interested. I'd like to improve the article as much as I can, and perhaps even reach FA status, so if you have a moment, I'd sure appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have. Thank you for your time, Jesse V. (talk) 21:27, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Your Abuse Response Filing
Greetings! Thank you for filing an Abuse Report for abusive behavior originating from 209.6.3.150. We wanted to let you know that the case has been opened and is currently under investigation.--Damirgraffiti |☺Say Yo to Me!☺ 00:02, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jojalozzo! I saw your name listed at WP:PRV under Philosophy and religion as well as Society and social issues. I think Spirit Fruit Society might cover all those bases. The article is about a commune started in Ohio in the late 1800s which lasted for more than 30 years. This article is a pet project of mine and I'd be very interested in your thoughts on it if you have time for a review. I started the article over a year ago and it reached GA in January. I would like to take it all the way to FA. If you have any time and a bit of interest, I'd love to know how I might improve the article. In any event, thank you for your time!

Martin Green
Re those ridiculous redirects to Martin_Green_(professor):
- there was a perfectly good article lurking beneath the redirect at photovoltaic engineering in Australia but I will not complain that you missed, since I missed it too.
- if you do actually need to start an RfD discussion, as well as starting the discussion you must place an {{RfD}} tag on the redirect - Twinkle will do it for you automatically
- {{db-redirnone}} was the wrong db tag, since the target of the redirect does exist
- {{db-redirtypo}} is the appropriate tag but with that one we have a problem that Rossami (talk · contribs) has an obsession about enforcing the "recent" clause in the speedy criteria - keep an eye on buried contact solar cell and laser buried grid and take them to RfD if they reappear.
— RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the assistance. I did notice the old article but figured the redirect may have been an improvement over the old "advert". I have edited out as much promo content as I could find. I didn't think any of the db-redir templates were quite right so I picked one that appeared to be close. I didn't think redirtypo was correct unless it's misnamed. I thought I had put the rfd tag on the page but must have screwed it up. Anyway, I appreciate your help. Jojalozzo 12:25, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

your comments appreciated
I have received your suggestion to name an intended page " Buddhist humanism" with lower case h, (as separate from Humanistic Buddhism page - and which is the recognised name of a certain particular school or temple). This I did on Buddhist humanism to include the essentials of Humanism as converged on generally through various Buddhist schools all over the world. I also read the Wikipedia rules regarding Talk page, and understand now few new things, especially keeping the chronology in comments. But I still do not know why my name appears in red! I just sign by putting 4x these "~" stokes as recommended, but apparently there is somethimng missing, and I'd appreciate your opinion on what to do?SafwanZabalawi (talk) 05:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am glad to hear you have addressed the issues with Buddhist humanism. Good work. It is a very helpful contribution to the project.
- I am also glad you are learning about talk page chronology especially if that includes indenting with colons (':') to indicate a response to a previous post.
- Your user name is red because you do not have a "user page". If you select your user name here: SafwanZabalawi you will be offered the opportunity of creating your user page. You don't need to put anything on the page unless you want to, but once you have a user page, even a blank page, your user name will be displayed in blue. Jojalozzo 07:02, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review Request
Dear Jojalozzo, I saw on the peer review page that it is encouraged that the nominator of a page for peer review directly seek out help from peer reviewers such as yourself. The page that I nominated is Touro University California. I would deeply appreciate your help in giving me detailed feedback after a peer review of the article if you're willing to work on this with me. Let me know on my talk page! Sincerely TylerDurden8823 (talk) 08:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jojalozzo, I just need to know either way if you're willing to peer review the article I mentioned. If not, just let me know and I'll seek help from someone else so I can get moving on this. Thanks.TylerDurden8823 (talk) 04:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- My apologies. I'm recovering from a cold and getting back from vacation. I will have a look and give you some feedback. I don't think you need to restrict peer review to one person, do you? (I'm unfamiliar with guidelines on this.) If not, then I have no objection to others working on this project. Jojalozzo 18:07, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for helping me out Jojalozzo. I honestly don't know if peer review is restricted to one user or not. I don't see why it can't be but this is the first time that I've ever done peer review so I'm unfamiliar with the process as well. Feel better! TylerDurden8823 (talk) 23:21, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Verifiabilty, Notability, and Recognizability
I noticed the RFC on Verifiability (and Truth). I think that Verifiability needs to be explained, and the article Search engine tests and Wikipedia policies seems to go a long way towards explaining it. Likewise the word Recognizability is used but not defined in Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title; surely it is close in meaning to Notability"", and Wikipedia guidelines related to using search engines to research both Verifiability and Recognizability (Notability) are explained in the Search engine tests and Wikipedia policies article. I think it would make sense to link Recognizability (and Notability) in Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title to the above Search Engine tests article, but an attempt to do so has just been reverted again.

A barnstar for you!
Sir, Please remove leasingacar.biz from blacklist. I won't submit that more than once in Wikipedia. Regards Prano1989 (talk) 03:07, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- No, thank you, I can't accept it. That web site is promotional and Wikipedia is not promotional. I don't think you understand what this project is about. After you have spent some time making some real contributions and improving articles here I would like to have a good discussion with you about this. Jojalozzo 03:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Reading notices
I'm not going to clutter the policy talk page with this, but shortly after our discussion, an experienced editor completely ignored a notice at the top of my talk page AND my talk page editnotice, and when that was mentioned to him, responded in a fairly hostile fashion. It's like cosmic karma is smacking me. So yes, you're right, people don't bother to read notices. Of course a policy page is a bit different, but I thought the timing was amusing. KillerChihuahua?!? 22:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think the Arbcom notice in Article titles is rather obscure. It's is only a pale yellow light icon with a tiny string of text. Easy to miss and not that easy to find out what it's about. I suspect many people who weren't around for the arbitration have no idea that it's there. I hope you feel better soon and feel free to rest and stay offline. I promise we won't decide anything until you come back. Jojalozzo 02:12, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you! That is very kind of you to say.
- There is a clickable link which leads to the case, do you think that it is really hard for people to learn what the notice is about? I would think that yes, the notice itself might might escape someone's attention, since as you note it is not particularly loud or colorful; but once noticed surely anyone Internet savvy enough to be on the talk page to begin with would know to click the links for an explanation.

Re: RFC advice
Jojalozzo, at this time I think it is a bit premature. I'd like to see how the current discussions at WP:Title play out. What's clear is that there is confusion over: Discussing article title changes and Executing article title changes. It actually doesn't matter where a title change is discussed and consensus reached. Many times it happens in project pages, not on article talk pages. What does matter, IMHO, is that the execution of potentially controversial title changes, is governed by a well-thoughtout process (in this case RM, RMCI and MRV) which holds admins and non-admins accountable for following a set of guidelines. In my experience with RM (I have closed a lot of them), most require admin descretion and admin permissions, as well as a lot of work to deal with double redirects, move warring, and history merges. In many cases, RMs are initiated because of ill-concieved or POV moves made without consensus where there is an expectation that an uninvolved admin will set the title straight. I think forcing the issue of RMCI and MRV at this point is premature, because the current language being proposed at WP:AT actually strengthens the requirement to use RM instead of other methods to execute title changes. As long as there is not a proliferation of out-of-process title changes that flow out of the current RfC, I don't think we need to push the issue. RMCI and MRV are not going away. --Mike Cline (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's just what I wanted to hear. Jojalozzo 19:58, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Re user talk: Scandash.
If you can find any idealogical issue and opinion in my additions, then I would expect you to point them out. Furthermore, if you can find a false sentence, then I would expect you to point that out. If you can find none of these issues, I would expect you to retract your previous comments. Scandash (talk) 07:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- The problem isn't ideology or opinion, it's verification. I suggest you first become familiar with Wikipedia's policy on verifiability and then use article talk pages if you have questions on how to apply that policy to any particular article. If you have problems with the policy itself then you can bring that up on the verifiability policy talk page or at the policy village pump. Until you understand how Wikipedia works you'll find little satisfaction editing here. Jojalozzo 02:27, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Links at Public adjuster
Jojalozzo, I know I am in the wrong place - but I didn't see where to start a new thread? Anyway, I was just reading a topic on Public Adjusters - I have recently become one. My intention was to clenn up references to topics that are actually no longer there, nor accessible from the link provided. I did plan to come back and do more, but now I am scared to make any further changes. The topic could definitely use some help! Can you please explain why Wikipedia would want to keep broken link references and non downloadable PDF references?
Also please direct me to a better location / way to send you a message?(Wagnerg123 (talk) 14:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC))
- Hi! You might be interested in reviewing the talk page guidelines.
- I suggest using the talk page of the article to discuss issues related to its content. If you do not get a response, then feel free to ask for input on other editors' talk pages.
- Please use edit summaries to explain what and why you are editing a page.
- Rather then blanking out a reference to a dead URL, it is preferable to mark it as a dead link with the {{dealink}} tag. It is possible that someone may be able to revive it.
- Cheers. Jojalozzo 14:36, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Ok - noted. I am quite wobbly on my legs with editing Wikipedia - it's obviously complicated once starting out. Like anything, we are obligated to know the rules, but I am seriously concerned about the category of "vandalism. I really didn't mean to do the wrong thing - definitely trying to help... so what does that mean to me? Can that be "undone" now that I have the understanding that was a bad thing I did?

Barnstable County
Hi there. I note your zeal in marking up the new section I am adding. While I appreciate the zeal - I'm usually zealous myself - it seems to me you have gotten over-zealous. For example, you tagged something as possible original research that is clearly annotated. Did you check that reference? Moreover, you placed requests on sentences that are mainly in the references. Be that as it may, I am not finished with this section by a long shot. Some refs I have not added yet. If you want to tag along while I create this section I do not mind at all. I'm used to it. It can use a good condensation. I don't know why you'd be doing this but it really does not matter. We can work everything out I am sure. I will insist however that adequately referenced material stay in. What is your goal here? What drew you to this section being developed? I am sure you have good answers to all of these things. I will ask you for them in the discussion and I will give my reasons. Thank you for your concern.Branigan 20:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- I should have explained on the talk page. I really like this section and appreciate what your are doing. I noted several phrases which express conjecture without indicating who is expressing it. The reader can only assume that it is Wikipedia that is conjecturing, i.e. presenting OR. Even if the conjecture is supported by the source we need to write it so it's clear that it comes from the source, i.e. "which, Joe Doe says, must be the coast of Maine" or use a direct quotation "is clearly be the coast of Maine". Sorry for not starting the discussion myself. Jojalozzo 21:41, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- All right, can do. I may not do it immediately. I need a break. I will do it. Thanks for edit. Carry this on as long and in as much detail as you like.Branigan 21:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I responded to your post at Michael Pollack WhisperToMe (talk) 01:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Since the discussion just closed, I decided to state this here. You said " am not seeing support for your position nor much understanding of the consensus on your part and I had hoped to express the prevailing view in a new way that you might better hear. The number sources is only one of several criteria for determining notability. What do you think are the others?" But the issue is "undue weight" - Everyone agrees he has enough sources to meet GNG - the issue is undue weight and it's all merely about "improve this before moving it to the mainspace" - that's all it's about - therefore it's about undue weight which is controlled by the # of sources WhisperToMe (talk) 02:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Revisions in Dec 2012 that you undid
Hi Jojalozzo, I don't seem to find the revisions that you undid. I added a link a while back but it appears to still be there. Could you give me a better idea of what was changed? Mkelly15 (talk) 04:31, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- Usually the revisions may be found in the page history. What article are we talking about? (I'm sorry, if I'm being dense.) Jojalozzo 04:33, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- I figured this out. You will see my edit here. Jojalozzo 04:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- By the way, it looks to me like your edits were made to Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, not Obsessive-compulsive disorder, which may explain why you cannot find the edits I undid. Jojalozzo 04:49, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- I figured this out. You will see my edit here. Jojalozzo 04:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
L. Teweles Seed Company
Hello Jojalozz, on the edits you did for L. Teweles Seed Co. were appreciated but The company name was always referred to L. Teweles Seed Co. in all text and around the city. See the listed references and product labels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quwancho (talk • contribs) 18:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- I used the unabbreviated name because the web site you provided for the company and its history uses it in the first sentence. Let's continue this conversation there. Jojalozzo 19:21, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
On all other cited material it is referred by Co. and the website is a 3rd party site. Maybe the website in the info box needs to be removed completely since the internet was never in existence during the life of the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quwancho (talk • contribs) 04:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Editor reviewing before submission
Thanks for the great feedback. How do I specifically request you to review a draft before publication? Do I leave a note here with link to the draft? Thanks for your time. Xena77 (talk) 22:25, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Xena77
- Yes, that would work, though I'm not sure what you are referring to. :-) Jojalozzo 03:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
I have contested the proposed deletion here. If you want to take it to AfD, that's up to you.
Incidentally, while as the creator of the article I was technically the one who should have been notified, it would be preferable if you had actually notified editors who had been active on the article more recently, or relevant WikiProjects. --RFBailey (talk) 14:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Good catch on my incorrect dab at End time. I was on autopilot and not thinking using Dab fixer and that was one of the choices to change. Thanks for babysitting the article. : ) Lenny Kaufman talk 20:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
