User talk:Sir James Paul

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Hello, Sir James Paul, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing!--Tdxiang 02:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


One more thing, Sir. Please try not to add a sig at the end of an article. Signatures are for talk pages only. Thank you.--Tdxiang 02:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


Great enthusiasm! Don't forget to ask me if you need help. Good work.--Tdxiang 03:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

Once a user has the right amount of edits (1000+) and is familiar with sysop tools and the rules and community, he or she can apply, like what I am doing now. See this page frequently. But given your low edit count now, you cannot vote in Rfas yet. Wait first, okay? Thank you for asking and have a nice week.--Tdxiang 03:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] False prophet

This article is a biased state. Please rewrite it, so it meets wikipedia standards. The life of brian 20:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connecticut

Please, when you edit an article, avoid deleting the informations that are already there, Thank you, M7 21:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pope John Paul II

Go ahead and expand it. But do not copy and paste directly from sources: plagarism is not allowed. Great enthusiasm, I see in you!--Tdxiang 02:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Point of view

Hello, Sir James Paul. Please remember that the content here is being viewed by everybody and it needs to be factual. Points of view make articles biased and sometimes seem to be critical about the cult, sect, or religion. Do review your edits, otherwise the articles will seem to be having a negative side of such sensitive matters. Thank you and God bless.--Tdxiang 02:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maine

Is there any verifiable fact which says Maine is famous for its lobsters?--Tdxiang 02:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I can vouch for that one. Blockinblox 02:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Alright, thank you. I was browsing through books and the Net and couldn't find anything about it.--Tdxiang 02:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Divine Comedy

I am sorry, but your recent page Divine Comedy already exists under the title The Divine Comedy. PullToOpen Talk 22:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Voting

132 edits, with 67 on main namespace. You can vote, but some admins might remove the vote. No harm trying, anyway. :) God Bless.--Tdxiang 01:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

It probably won't be removed. The ones that are usually removed are votes from single-purpose accounts. zephyr2k 01:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

On Monday, it will close. And... <smiling>I am not a sir!</smiling>--Tdxiang 01:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Make sure that you know our rules, know how to write articles in the proper layout and know other policies involved. That way, you can apply.--Tdxiang 02:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, anybody can run for adminship. It just depends on when you think you are ready. Just remember that it will be other editor's votes that will determine whether you become one or not. If you have better quality edits, such as mainspace edits that expand content of articles, you probably won't need 1000, maybe 500 if they are pretty lengthy additions per edit. But a lot of people have a 1000 edit requirement for them to vote a support. zephyr2k 04:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Newbie welcomes

Here! click on a newbie's talkpage and type this:

{{subst:welcome}}--~~~~

If you see any weird username, just report to me or any other administrator on duty. I will assist in its blocking. Cheers!--Tdxiang 11:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza welcomes?

Why are you welcoming so many people to Esperanza (using the {{Welcome Esperanza}} template), when they are not in the organization? Also, never, EVER sign a template in the template namespace. Your signature is appeaing on 20+ of unsubsted templates on talk pages. PullToOpen Talk 01:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acid

You have proposed the deletion of the article. It looks like you think that rewriting from scratch is faster. Unfortunately, this is a BE850 word, so we need an article on it. Next time youp propose a deletion (of not-pure nonsense articles, ie. not fast deletions, please add a request to the Wikipedia Requests for deletions page. I have done this for this time. -- Eptalon 15:06, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I do not hold it against you that you are a relatively new user to this Wikipedia. You have made some good edits. Learning the ways takes time. Have fun, and do not take it too seriously. -- Eptalon 15:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Thank you! I hope to write something useful ;-) See you soon. --Arroww 16:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your barnstar. If you keep up your good work around here I might award you one too. The life of brian 17:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] stubs

Please don't forget to place '''{{stub}}''' under a short article. The life of brian 17:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We are here for an encyclopedia

Hello, Sir James Paul! As wikipedians, we strive to make Wikipedia a place with more information every day. Your huge amount of edits in the user talk namespace aren't helping the project at all. In fact, they are clogging up the recent changes page. We really don't need every user to have an account welcomed and invited to esperanza. Thank you, and have a nice week. PullToOpen Talk 18:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

It's not that I disagree with you. It is just that you are doing almost nothing but welcoming users. In the long run, welcoming users doesn't help the encyclopedia much. A few more things: Thanks for the barnstar, be careful of your personal attacks (remember: innocent until proven guilty), and it isn't a very good idea to delete discussions on your user talk page. PullToOpen Talk 04:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do not edit my user page

There is no reason, short of reverting vandalism, for you to ever edit my user page. Please do not do that again. -- Creol 02:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


As you appear to have a very short memory: My user page history. You edit the page 2 times [1] [2] this morning. Not falsely accusing you of it when the proof of the changes are right there in the open. If the truth will set you free, you may want to look into it. -- Creol 02:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

You attack me, call me a liar, tell me to get a life, and try to get me blocked and then feel it is rude that I did not answer in a speedy manner at 10pm on a Saturday night? Not that it is realy any of your business, but I went off line after posting your changes (the message above this one) as I actually do have a life and sitting at home on a Saturday night would not be a part of it. I don't have an issue with the barnstar, it was your editing it into my user page I have the issue with. It is not up to you to decide what is put onto my user page. How would you feel if someone decide that their opinion of what was placed on your page was more important that your opinion? What if I decided the Articles I have written or editted part of your page looked bad and I went and changed it (and the link at the bottom ) on you? User talk pages are there for changes such as you made. If you wanted to present a barnstar, that is were it should have been done. If I chose to move it to my user page, that is my call to make, not someone else. -- Creol 08:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks

Please try not to make personal attacks against other editors, like in this edit. Thanks Blockinblox 02:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Please read the above warning and don't insult Creol with personal attacks as you just did again here. If you continue, I will have to block you. Blockinblox 02:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

You're doing it again. You're just aggravating the situation here, Creol hasn't even come back online yet. OK, both me and Blockinblox have warned you now, I want you to stay away from Creol. One more message like that, and you will be blocked for 24 hours for incivility. Let's just view this as settled now. Archer7 - talk 15:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Much ado about nothing

I don't see why it should be such a big deal to be reconciled with Creol when there is no real cause for such a major difference -- you gave him a barnstar on his user page and he did not welcome it because he prefers to get them on his talk page. After that, it should not be your problem any more, just be sure to use his talk page from now on for any future barnstars or comments! I'm sure he will not hold a grudge and will forgive you, but if he does not and harasses you, I will be sure to tell him to stop as well. Blockinblox 17:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza on Wikiquote?

I don't think that your motion is going to be approved by the local admins. I am sorry, but it is true. Esperanza is a very localized project (confined to wikipedias) and really doesn't have much business on other projects. I hope it succeeds, but my inner realist tells me that it probably won't. PullToOpen Talk 21:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

First off, I oppose the project on Wikiquote. Esperanza is struggling enough over at English. Second, it is currently up for deletion over at Wikiquote. People are incredulous of your credibility (which, frankly, I am as well), because you joined English's Esperanza when you did not meet the membership requirements. You also don't meet your own self-established membership requirements. I am sorry, and I realize your good intentions, but this should not exist. So, to answer your question, I will not help you write a charter. Sorry.PullToOpen Talk 02:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Be calm

Dear Sir James Paul, calm down. I understand that you find Creol's reaction to your awarding of a barnstar ridiculous, but remember to be kind (Esperanza members must show kindness), regardless of who it is, ok? As for another Esperanza, I doubt it would work out. Esperanza is only for Wikipedias. And thank you for voting. Cheers!--Tdxiang 09:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please sign additions

Hello,SirJamesPaul. When you add something to discussion pages (like The Requests for deletion page) please sign your comments. You can do this easily, by using four tilde (~) characters (at the end. This will help enormously. Thanks - Eptalon 10:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Cowley publications-Requests for deletion

I have thought carefully before adding a comment to Requests for deletion. For notable, I used the definition that it is widely known and esteemed. It certainly seems to fit the second part of the definition, however in my opion it is not as widely known as other publishers. There is not even an article on publishers/publishing yet in this encylopedia and I do not think now is the time to list every publisher in it. I have just checked who wrote the article and I realise that you may feel hurt by a deletion request but drastic changes to what we try to add to wikipedias happen to all wikipedians and the result may be keep yet. There is no article in the english wikipedia so perhaps you could add it to there, as it is in a better position to inculde this type of article. I am happy to be provided extra information but I would urge you not to ask people to change there votes, it is not very democratic. Thank you for the extra information. Ksbrown 10:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza

Thanks for the invite. I'll join wikipedia:Esperanza in a few minutes.

[edit] More Wikiquote:Esperanza

Alright, Sir James Paul, you made a good effort in starting out a new program. It is failing its RfD. Please, can you please drop your advertisements and indiscriminate vice president invitations? Esperanza over there will not last past the 26th. Also a note: be careful about your giving out of barnstars. Barnstars are valuable, and one should have to work for it. You seem to be giving them out to users who you want support of. This is not a good idea, and it is probably a good idea to stop. Thank you. PullToOpen Talk 21:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not delete my messages. PullToOpen Talk 22:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • That's right, Sir James Paul. Also, please note that we do not offer censorship to minors. We give facts only, okay? Tell me if you need anything.--Tdxiang 09:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Email

I've sent you an email, please take a look and respond. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 12:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorted. Archer7 - talk 21:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal information

In the future, if you don't want people to know personal information (such as your age), I'd suggest you refrain from posting it on your user page. Looks like someone deleted it, so you should be safe now.
