WHACK!

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example

Whack!

The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians.

To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

Re: User:Movement Entertainment

Sorry about that! You probably slapped the block on just before I set Twinkle loose on tacking up that deletion template. Trust me, I wouldn't intentionally advocate that kind of overkill. Thanks! - Vianello (talk) 05:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DELETION OF ARTICLE, "MATHEMATICALLY PERFECTED ECONOMY"

Why you have deleted the article "mathematically perfected economy" for "blatant advertising" is beyond me. To the whole of the article, which was dedicated to explanation which no one has refuted/invalidated in 40 years, was only the least attribution *required* by Wiki documentation. As to what else could be "advertising," I see nothing whatever. I suspect rather, that your reason for deletion is that what you cannot disprove in the article is offensive to your wrong, offensive political disposition.

If not, I think we deserve a good explanation why a singular solution to the present causes of a world-wide monetary catastrophe have been deleted from Wikipedia. Can you invalidate the thesis of singular solution? Can you disprove that the models you can download from the site project inherent multiplication of debt to this day? Can you disprove inherent multiplication of debt in proportion to a circulation is terminal?

How then can you rightly deny the world this information?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pats 1960 helmet.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pats 1960 helmet.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption Offer

See talk page; You offered adoption awhile ago, sorry I never responded, I have been busy with other things and couldn't get on wikipedia. Mainly I need help with the basics of editing and WikiCode. If you could please adopt me, and reply on my talk page, I would appreciate it. Seems like it will be a fun experience to learn how to use wikipedia better.

Hello,

I have added a tag to the Barack Obama article requesting that it be checked for neutrality. Since you’re a peer review volunteer I thought you might be interesting in coming in as a neutral editor and checking the article out. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 11:06, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American Football Abroad

Hi Jayron32, I saw that you are very active on the above subject, and was wondering if you could help me. I would like to create a page on an American Football team in Italy. I have already written the main text, however was baffled by Wikipedia's formatting. Especially, how can I insert the diagrams of their uniform and palmarés tables? Is there a specific template I can use?

Thanks in advance --Sissi 90 (talk) 22:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Kyso47sm-1-.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kyso47sm-1-.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Re. the suspected "Lyle123" sock:

Hi, Jayron. I just tried to follow your advice regarding a report to the SSP page instead of the AIV page, but there have been so many nominations that I honestly have no idea as to how to number it. Another sock with a similar name has already been blocked. He's been caught, so it's unlikely he'll edit with this account anytime soon, but it pays to block it. --70.104.7.231 (talk) 05:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning?

I am just curious, but what does the following passage from your user page mean?:

This editor was nominated for deletion on 2007-11-25. The result of the discussion was..... Your mother.

Heh. See WP:EFD, and then link on either the "hall of notoriety" or the "archived discussions". Heh. Keeper ǀ 76 22:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Declining the unblock request

Jayron32, You say that I didn't adress the sockpuppetry issue. That constituted nothing more than communicating with another editor on his talk page. Hardly grounds for extending a three month block to indefinite. Are you the kind of judge who would lock somebody away for life if they tried to hop the wall during a three month prison sentence? The issues of the block were precisely addressed. Please review your decision. I'd be most grateful. David Tombe 81.156.1.34 (talk) 14:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jayron32, Those matters have already been adequately addressed. I don't think that we need to go over them again repeatedly. I notice that you have now even blocked me from editing my talk page. I don't think that anybody should really take this outfit too seriously. People like yourself destroy its credibility entirely.

No Jacket Required

Hello there! I've never really nominated an article for Peer Review before, so bear with me. I have just recently nominated the article, No Jacket Required for Peer Review. I was a major force in turning it into the bare bones article it once was, to the Good Article that it is at the time of this message. I would love to improve it and make it a Featured Article, but I stink at these kinds of things, and usually go in a totally wrong direction! I looked at the Peer Review volunteer's page, and thought that you'd be a great person to look the article over, and see if any improvements are necessary. The link to the peer review is here. I would appreciate any sort of input, but if you are too busy, I certainly understand. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at the peer review!
