Hi Elonka, a user named [[User:Phenomenon8980]] has been repeatedly blanking my talk page. I have left several messages on his/her talk page concerning talk page guidelines. He/She is angry because I redirected a character page [[Melanie Layton]], back to [[Days of Our Lives]] because she does not meet [[WP:NOTE]]. I told the user I had no personal grievances against him/her, but I am just trying to follow rules. I have been civil, and not posted any threatening messages. This user just continues to blank my page though. Please advise. If you are the wrong person to contact, please tell me who is. Thank you. [[User:Rm994|Rm994]] ([[User talk:Rm994|talk]]) 19:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
: Looks like Bish got it. Though, I see you were edit-warring with Phenomenon at the [[Melanie Layton]] article. Instead of just going back and forth like that, a better option is to file a quick [[WP:AFD|AfD]]. Also, please read [[WP:BITE]] and [[WP:VANDAL#NOT]]... Phen looks like s/he may have the makings of a good editor who could be really helpful at the Soaps Project, so it's better to try and nurture potential talent, instead of just tussling and accusing them of vandalism. Remember, we need all the good help we can get! :) --[[User:Elonka|El]][[User talk:Elonka|on]][[Special:Contributions/Elonka|ka]] 22:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

::Hello again, I do need your help filling out a request for deletion. I would also ask that you again warn Phenonmenon8980 to stop harrassing me. I have been nothing but civil to him her, and am not trying to have a conflict. I am just trying to make this site reliable, while he/she continues the verbal assault. Thank you so much for all your help in this matter. [[User:Rm994|Rm994]] ([[User talk:Rm994|talk]]) 23:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Yuba City is located at 39°8'5" North, 121°37'34" West (39.134792, -121.626201){{GR|1}}. The [[Feather River]] lies at the edge of Yuba city.
::: I went ahead and restored the page, tagged it as needing references, and posted a note at the talkpage about a possible way to handle it. Hopefully we can have a civil discussion on how to proceed. If this doesn't work, we can always go to an AfD. --[[User:Elonka|El]][[User talk:Elonka|on]][[Special:Contributions/Elonka|ka]] 14:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of 9.4&nbsp;[[square mile]]s (24.4&nbsp;[[km²]]), of which, 9.4&nbsp;square miles (24.3&nbsp;km²) of it is land and 0.1&nbsp;square miles (0.2&nbsp;km²) of it is water. The total area is 0.64% water.
::::Thank you for all your help with this. I don't know what s/he is actually talking about, as my last post was yesterday. It seems to me that this user simply does not understand the rules regarding talk page etiquette, civility, or the rules of articles. My only intention was to help s/he understand the rules. I believe I was civil enough. I have made my contribution to the [[Melanie Layton]] talk page, and that is where it will end. I will not engage in any more debates with him/her. 3 editors have now suggested that it be merged with minor characters. It was never my intention to anger this user, simply just to explain the rules. Again...I REALLY appreciate all your help.

The Yuba City area is 40 minutes north of Sacramento and is part of the [[Sacramento Valley]]. Sutter County is also home to the smallest mountain range in the world (the [[Sutter Buttes]][http://tapestry.usgs.gov/features/33sutter.html]). The area is sometimes called the "Feather River Valley" named for the river that divides Yuba City from its neighbor [[Marysville, California|Marysville]]. An example is the minor league baseball team, the Feather River Mudcats of the [[Western Baseball League]] in the late 1990s.

Yuba City is home to the Yuba City Junior Honkers Midgets (6-0). An awe inspiring football squad and phenomenal group of kids.
I am writing on behalf of Phenomenon8980. He has not contacted [[User: RM994]] for any reason since they've had their conflict. Phenomenon8980 is highly upset and plans to now continue harrassing both users if he is not apologized to. It is clear that noone is interested in letting Phenomenon 8980 take the high road.

===Sikh parade===
== Notification of your involvement at [[chiropractic]] ==
Yuba City is known for its sizeable [[Sikh]] community.<ref>http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20051106/spectrum/main1.htm</ref> The Punjabi population in the [[Yuba-Sutter Area]] has grown to be one of the largest in the United States and one of the largest Sikh populations outside of the Punjab state of India. Each year on the first Sunday of November, Sikhs from the United States, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and throughout the world attend the Sikh parade in Yuba City, which commemorates the receipt by Sikhs of their Holy scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, in 1708. The 4.5-mile-long parade features floats and a procession of parade participants. The 2005 parade, the 26th to be held, drew an estimated 56,000 Sikhs. The parade provides economic benefits to Punjabi culture sections of the city as well. The 2007 parade, the 28th annual Sikh parade, drew approximately 75,000 to 85,000 people of both Sikh and non- Sikh background. It is believed that the 2007 Sikh parade broke a record for having the most people attend the parade as compared to the previous Sikh parades.<ref>http://www.kcra.com/news/1041002/detail.html</ref>


==Politics==
Per [[WP:UNINVOLVED]]: Uninvolved admins
In the [[California State Legislature|state legislature]] Yuba City is located in the 4th [[California State Senate|Senate]] District, represented by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Sam Aanestad]], and in the 2nd [[California State Assembly|Assembly]] District, represented by Republican [[Doug LaMalfa]]. Federally, Yuba City is located in [[California's 2nd congressional district]], which has a [[Cook Partisan Voting Index|Cook PVI]] of R +13
''An administrator is considered "uninvolved" if it is clear that they are able to exercise their tools from a position of neutrality. If they have been involved in a content dispute, were a significant editor of an article in question, were involved in revert wars, or are under their own sanctions for that topic area, they do not qualify as uninvolved.''
==History==
The [[Maidu]] people were settled in the region when they were first encountered by Spanish and Mexican scouting expeditions in the early 1800s. One version of the origin of the name "Yuba" is that during one of these expeditions, wild grapes were seen growing by a river, and so it was named "Uba", a variant spelling of the Spanish word ''uva'' (grape).


The Mexican government granted a large expanse of land which included the area in which Yuba City is situated to [[John Sutter]], the same John Sutter upon whose land gold was subsequently discovered in 1848. He sold part of this tract to some enterprising men who wished to establish a town near the confluence of the [[Yuba River]] and the [[Feather River]], tributaries of the [[Sacramento River]], with an eye to developing a commercial center catering to the thousands of gold miners headed upstream to the gold fields. At the same time, another town was developing on the eastern bank of the Feather River, the beginnings of what later would become [[Marysville, California|Marysville]].
Elonka has been involved in a content dispute with significant editor of this article.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chiropractic&diff=prev&oldid=224667329][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chiropractic&diff=prev&oldid=224894550][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chiropractic&diff=prev&oldid=224902953].

:I haven't followed the general debate on [[Chiropractic]], but the three diffs QuackGuru provided above look very mild to me. I don't see that they show Elonka can't be neutral regarding Eubulides. We allow admins to discuss issues on talk pages, and we allow them to comment on the actions of others, without them becoming 'involved'. The three specific points you mention are (a) significant editor of the article, (b) involved in revert wars, (c) under topic sanctions for that area: are any of those met? She has not edited the article since July 8. When she does edit the article, she does scary things like insertion of square brackets. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 19:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
:Those diffs show Elonka address behavior at the article in question, not judging content. Come back with diffs that show her adding or removing actual content or making value determinations on content and I'll re-consider.

The [[county seat]] for [[Sutter County|Sutter County, CA]] was chosen to be Yuba City in 1854. The same year, however, voters decided that [[Nicolaus|Nicolaus, CA]] would be a better location, and the county seat was moved there. County voters returned to their first choice of Yuba City two years later, in 1856, and it has remained the county seat since.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yubacity.net/100/history.aspx |title=History of Yuba City |accessdate=2008-10-11}}</ref>

Yuba City saw its first major influx of population after The Second World War, pushing residential areas west and south from the city's original center. Orchards were turned into residential areas as new homes were built to provide the amount of people migrating to the city.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yubacity.net/documents/Finance/2007-2009-Biennial-Budget/Chapter-23.pdf |title=Yuba City At A Glance |accessdate=2008-10-11}}</ref>
I've followed Chiro for quite a while as mostly a ''very'' removed bystander. But it's on my watchlist, and I sometimes scan the arguments on the talk page, and sometimes monitor edits for obvious POVs or to see if I can stop an edit war. I never even noticed Elonka there at all. ——'''[[User:Martinphi|<span style="color:#6c4408;border:1px dashed #6c4408;padding:1px;background:#ffffff;">Martin<sup>phi</sup>]]'''</span> [[User talk:Martinphi|☎]] Ψ [[Special:Contributions/Martinphi|Φ]]<span style="color:#ffffff;">——</span> 20:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


In December, 1955, a series of storms dropped torrential rain throughout northern California. The deluge caused all the rivers in the region to overflow their banks and to break through levees. The Christmas Eve levee break at Yuba City was particularly disastrous, with 38 people losing their lives,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yubacity.net/100/history.aspx |title=History of Yuba City |accessdate=2008-10-11}}</ref> and heavy damage occurring in the downtown section. According to Dick Brandt, manager of the Yuba County airport in 1955, between 550 and 600 Sutter County residents were rescued from the floodwater by helicopter.
=== Some concern ===
Elonka, I have some concerns about the way that this appears to be proceeding.

On March 14, 1961, a [[B-52 Stratofortress]] carrying nuclear weapons, flying near Yuba City encountered a pressurization problem, and had to drop to a lower altitude. As such, more fuel than expected was used, and the aircraft ran out of fuel. It crashed before meeting with a tanker aircraft. The pilot gave the bailout command, and the crew egressed at 10,000 ft, except for the pilot, who ejected at 4,000 ft, while avoiding a populated area. The aircraft was destroyed. The weapons, two Mark 39 thermonuclear bombs (identified from declassified Department of Energy films and photographs) were destroyed on impact though no explosion took place, and there was no release of radioactive material as a result.[1]
I'd ask, in light of all of the above, that you remove yourself from the list of uninvolved adminstrators.

:::: Hmm, I assure you that I have no preference on the article content, and I am quite comfortable that I would be able to use admin tools from a position of neutrality. As for your point about the [[Talk:Chiropractic/Admin log]] page, you are correct that I made it a couple days earlier. This was because I was using it as a scratchpad to gather information about the involved editors there, as I was considering what might be the best way to proceed. But I'm still not seeing why you think it might show any bias on my part? And anyway, this may all be moot, since no restrictions may be required anyway. As long as there is no disruption, and the article returns to a state of relative stability, I'm happy. :) If things stay stable for a couple weeks, we can probably delete the log page and all move along to other wiki projects. --[[User:Elonka|El]][[User talk:Elonka|on]][[Special:Contributions/Elonka|ka]] 03:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

::::: I agree that the point is moot. Given the level of input you've already received this time (that your're apparently rejecting) w.r.t.

Yuba City's agricultural history dates back to the 1840s when [[John Sutter]] started a stock ranch that was later set on fire by vandals. However, since then people have continued to move to and cultivate crops due to the fertile soil and great climate. The ten leading crops in cultivation are rice, beans, tomatoes, melons, alfalfa, hay, tree crops of peaches, almonds, walnuts, and plums.

::::::Given the above and some more fun at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Followup query]], it appears that your involvement in this is likely going to be the cause of unnecessary contention and drahmahz.

However, it is not going to be a good use of either your time or the time of those who would object to deal with the resulting discussions. So, to avoid further drahmahz in this, I respectfully ask that your remove yourself from the list of uninvolved admins and do not apply any sanctions. Any input you have regarding the article will still be greatly appreciated, though.

Yuba City is home to the largest [[dried fruit]] processing plant in the world[http://www.sunsweet.com/about/], [[Sunsweet Growers Incorporated]], so it isn't surprising that beginning in 1988 Yuba City was home to the California Prune Festival. In 2001 the name was changed to the [[California Dried Plum Festival]] and in early 2003 directors announced the end of the festival's 15 year run in the Yuba-Sutter area. This was primarily due to rise in costs, difficulty in securing sponsors, and competition from other festivals.

As you know, [[User:ChrisO|ChrisO]] is a classicist, who obtained his degree studying under one of the major historians of antiquity. Tundrabuggy’s page shows no record of having edited articles on antiquity, or knowledge of the field. Clearly from this remark, Tundrabuggy has undertaken a detailed review of ChrisO’s work on several related articles dealing with antiquity where the latter has formal qualifications, and now raises concerns about bias. Secondly, when challenged on this, Tundrabuggy admits he was ‘invited’ to edit these articles by another editor [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ChrisO&diff=next&oldid=242942307 here]

Both the original remark, and the admission he was invited in, without apparent knowledge of the subject ChrisO has formal qualifications in, do not strike me as being free of a certain niggling spirit.

There are still issues with this article, which I have noted at its talk page. In particular one of the online references you cite does not work for me. Meanwhile I make two procedural suggestions.
* When you make a single edit to essentially revert three separate edits made for three separate reasons, individually documented at the talk page and each with an edit summary explaining the reason, you choose an edit summary more apt than "copyediting".
* When you choose to criticise the conduct or doubt the good faith of another editor you do so (if you must do so at all) on that editors talk page rather than on the talk page of an article.

== Your message ==

I will be more careful. The problem was compounded by some sort of problem affecting Science Apologist. He inadvertently reverted much further than he'd intended due to some sort of browser or WP caching issue. When the actual state of the article became apparent to him, he stated that the edits he had made were not the edits he would have intended. [[User:QaBobAllah|Bob]] ([[User talk:QaBobAllah|QaBob]]) 19:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

:There was a problem with an out-of-date cache and an unresponsive software glitch on the wiki-end. I actually never ''intentionally'' reverted once! Elonka, you seem to be falling into a classic administrator trap similar to what others have warned you about in the past in your RfCs: namely you tend to create problems when none exist and ignore problems when they do exist. I think this is in part due to the fact that you aren't very thorough in your investigations of the full course of a discussions about edits. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to look at the user's contributions. In this case, I'm almost certain you did not do this because there was some very illuminating discussion between myself and other editors that happened outside of [[Talk:Psychic]] that you seemed to miss completely. To summarize, when you feel like you need to give sanction, you should follow the following procedure:

#Determine what the sum-total of the edits that appear to be controversial were. That requires taking long-range diffs from when the person first started editing the article to when the person stopped editing the article.
#Look at the talk page and see what was discussed.
#Look at the user's contributions and see if any discussion were happening at noticeboards, user talk pages, etc.
#Make a list of the other user's who were involved in the supposed "altercation".
#Repeat steps 1-3 for each user.
#When posting warnings or advisories on user talk pages, include a diff that clearly indicates the problematic behavior/actions. (The diffs you posted on my page were so ambiguous as to be almost laughable. If you had posted them to [[WP:3RN]] the report would have been closed immediately as no violation.)

:If you do this, people will be much more likely to be okay with you. You might consider getting an administrative mentor to help with this.

== Images ==

You'll recall that a month ago I gave you a [[User talk:Elonka/Archive 25#Images|list of images]] you uploaded which seemed problematic. In particular, four were non-free images where free images could potentially be obtained, contrary to the guidelines at [[Wikipedia:NON-FREE#Images 2]], Unacceptable use, item 12: ''Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image.'' Since you didn't dispute their status after your acknowledgment, I assume you agree with me?

: The Jerry Jacks/Bobby Spencer one is worth keeping, since it shows a soap couple that is no longer in existence. That the actors are still alive, is not the relevant point, since the picture is being used to illustrate the characters, not the actors.

Are you focusing on science editors for some reason?

: Nope, not at all. I do try to keep an ear open for where I can help out with dispute resolution. Most commonly I either spot these on one of the noticeboards, or someone asks for help on my talkpage. I also run across them every so often via my archiving work. Archiving is one of those relaxing activities for me: I try to keep the category clear at [[:Category:Archive requests]], and when that's empty, I look around for other pages that need help. For example, I'll check [[Special:RecentChanges]], filter by the "Talk" namespace, and then look for anything that's getting large comments (+1,###). If that page is over 100K, I'll archive it. It's often the case that when an article is in dispute, the talkpage scrolls fairly rapidly, so when I'm archiving a large page, I'll sometimes check to see if there's a dispute where I can help out as an admin. I don't ''feel'' like I'm focusing on science-related disputes, and the editors who are working in the Israel-Palestine topic area would probably agree!

Other than that, I think everyone did as well as could probably be expected with that kind of situation. --[[User:Elonka|El]][[User talk:Elonka|on]][[Special:Contributions/Elonka|ka]] 13:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== Pointer to discussion about TV episode redirects ==

Hi, Elonka. It's been a while since the dispute about TV episode article naming, and I'm glad to see that you've been thriving on Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that there's a new (much smaller, I hope!) discussion about whether to keep the redirects that have "unnecessary" disambiguation or not — one of the byproducts of an early compromise move in that debate. The new discussion is at [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)#Redirects]], with related discussions at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 October 8]]. Hope to see you there. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <small>([[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Josiah Rowe|contribs]])</small> 18:30, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Both yourself and NJGW seem to have stopped editing for a bit, but if you have a look at [[WP:AN]] the block looks questionable and there would be no harm in the goodwill gesture of an early unblock.

== Reducing disruption ==


{{Sutter County, California}}
The key to reducing disruption isn't to go back and right old wrongs or to deal a slew of warnings. Digging through old contributions doesn't "reduce disruption", it re-opens wounds. "Reducing disruption" isn't about righting great wrongs, it's about lowering the temperature.

Of course, if you really want to reduce disruption, it's important to approach the matter fairly. At present, you look like you're taking sides. I'm sure it isn't your intent, but your current course of action seems to be heating things up, not cooling them down.

The Yuba City area is 40 minutes north of Sacramento and is part of the Sacramento Valley. Sutter County is also home to the smallest mountain range in the world (the Sutter Buttes[3]). The area is sometimes called the "Feather River Valley" named for the river that divides Yuba City from its neighbor Marysville. An example is the minor league baseball team, the Feather River Mudcats of the Western Baseball League in the late 1990s.

Sikh parade

Yuba City is known for its sizeable Sikh community.[4] The Punjabi population in the Yuba-Sutter Area has grown to be one of the largest in the United States and one of the largest Sikh populations outside of the Punjab state of India. Each year on the first Sunday of November, Sikhs from the United States, Canada, India, the United Kingdom and throughout the world attend the Sikh parade in Yuba City, which commemorates the receipt by Sikhs of their Holy scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, in 1708. The 4.5-mile-long parade features floats and a procession of parade participants. The 2005 parade, the 26th to be held, drew an estimated 56,000 Sikhs. The parade provides economic benefits to Punjabi culture sections of the city as well. The 2007 parade, the 28th annual Sikh parade, drew approximately 75,000 to 85,000 people of both Sikh and non- Sikh background. It is believed that the 2007 Sikh parade broke a record for having the most people attend the parade as compared to the previous Sikh parades.[5]

Politics

In the state legislature Yuba City is located in the 4th Senate District, represented by Republican Sam Aanestad, and in the 2nd Assembly District, represented by Republican Doug LaMalfa. Federally, Yuba City is located in California's 2nd congressional district, which has a Cook PVI of R +13

History

The Maidu people were settled in the region when they were first encountered by Spanish and Mexican scouting expeditions in the early 1800s. One version of the origin of the name "Yuba" is that during one of these expeditions, wild grapes were seen growing by a river, and so it was named "Uba", a variant spelling of the Spanish word uva (grape).

The Mexican government granted a large expanse of land which included the area in which Yuba City is situated to John Sutter, the same John Sutter upon whose land gold was subsequently discovered in 1848. He sold part of this tract to some enterprising men who wished to establish a town near the confluence of the Yuba River and the Feather River, tributaries of the Sacramento River, with an eye to developing a commercial center catering to the thousands of gold miners headed upstream to the gold fields. At the same time, another town was developing on the eastern bank of the Feather River, the beginnings of what later would become Marysville.

By 1852 Yuba City had one hotel, a grocery store, a post office, approximately 20 dwelling homes with a population of about 150.

The county seat for Sutter County, CA was chosen to be Yuba City in 1854. The same year, however, voters decided that Nicolaus, CA would be a better location, and the county seat was moved there. County voters returned to their first choice of Yuba City two years later, in 1856, and it has remained the county seat since.[6]

Yuba City saw its first major influx of population after The Second World War, pushing residential areas west and south from the city's original center. Orchards were turned into residential areas as new homes were built to provide the amount of people migrating to the city.[7]

In December, 1955, a series of storms dropped torrential rain throughout northern California. The deluge caused all the rivers in the region to overflow their banks and to break through levees. The Christmas Eve levee break at Yuba City was particularly disastrous, with 38 people losing their lives,[8] and heavy damage occurring in the downtown section. According to Dick Brandt, manager of the Yuba County airport in 1955, between 550 and 600 Sutter County residents were rescued from the floodwater by helicopter.

On March 14, 1961, a B-52 Stratofortress carrying nuclear weapons, flying near Yuba City encountered a pressurization problem, and had to drop to a lower altitude. As such, more fuel than expected was used, and the aircraft ran out of fuel. It crashed before meeting with a tanker aircraft. The pilot gave the bailout command, and the crew egressed at 10,000 ft, except for the pilot, who ejected at 4,000 ft, while avoiding a populated area. The aircraft was destroyed. The weapons, two Mark 39 thermonuclear bombs (identified from declassified Department of Energy films and photographs) were destroyed on impact though no explosion took place, and there was no release of radioactive material as a result.[1]

Agriculture

The Yuba-Sutter area is not as developed a tourist location as the wine-producing counties to the southwest, but it has some of the best agricultural land in the United States, placed between the Sierra Nevada mountains to the east and the Coast Range to the west.

John Sutter

Yuba City's agricultural history dates back to the 1840s when John Sutter started a stock ranch that was later set on fire by vandals. However, since then people have continued to move to and cultivate crops due to the fertile soil and great climate. The ten leading crops in cultivation are rice, beans, tomatoes, melons, alfalfa, hay, tree crops of peaches, almonds, walnuts, and plums.

Sunsweet Inc. headquarters

Yuba City is home to the largest dried fruit processing plant in the world[5], Sunsweet Growers Incorporated, so it isn't surprising that beginning in 1988 Yuba City was home to the California Prune Festival. In 2001 the name was changed to the California Dried Plum Festival and in early 2003 directors announced the end of the festival's 15 year run in the Yuba-Sutter area. This was primarily due to rise in costs, difficulty in securing sponsors, and competition from other festivals.
