Welcome, Chairlunchdinner!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Utilities
- Wikipedia:Cite your sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette
- Wikipedia:Civility
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

Deletion of 'liberals wikipedians' category
[edit]Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 23:32, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for voting! Larix 16:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Translation request
[edit]did a lot of work on this UNIQLO translation tonight... but it's very incomplete. some sentences were just too complicated for me to translate coherently. some help would be appreciated. i didn't touch the bottom sections at all, though, just the top. Tmkain 13:24, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Looks good so far! Hopefully someone can translate the rest. Thanks a lot for your help! —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 19:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Warning to the vandal
[edit]Thank you for warning the vandal on Jun Choi's page. You'll see I caught one yesterday. Clearly vandalism to say something's been going on "for months" when the man's been in office 5 weeks. By the way, where can I find the user templates? By the way, if you are one who claims to support good grammar, how can you put up the template that mentions you are one who "rates their professors" [sic] :D ? Bruxism 02:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- No problem... I'm happy to counteract vandalism. The warning templates can be found at WP:VAND. As for that template, how do you know I don't rate others' professors? MUHAHAHA. >:D —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 02:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Good point! Actually, I meant the user templates for POV, NJ res, et al. Bruxism 02:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind - I found them. Now if I can only figure out how to line them up right. Bruxism 02:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oops... yeah, those are userboxes. I use tables to arrange them... you can find more info and help on tables here. —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 03:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Jimbo Wales' sex life
[edit]I assure you, as Jimmety's younger brother I can verify this with personal experience, and his lack thereof. Jack Wales 22:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

"The Unfuckables"
[edit]lol, don't worry, it's ultimately just the circumstances of things. I wonder how long this one'll stick around, and whether or not it'd be gone by now if certain things went differently. Karmafist 22:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- I just read the article, and laughed my ass off. It definitely deserves a place in WP:BJAODN. —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 22:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Eh, maybe. I guess i've just become a bit jaded lately. Then again, i'm closing in on 1,000 edits today, so it's getting hard to get excited about the little things. And oh yes, the ultimate stub would likely be an article with one letter, it's questionable if a blank page even is an article, and in order to be a stub, you need to have an article. Oh well, that's for the philosophers to figure out. Talk to you later, my friend. Karmafist 22:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- I was pondering that myself... which came first, the article or the stub? Congrats on the 1000 edit milestone. —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 22:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Haven't made it there yet, but i'm closing in. Oh well, I did break the 13,000 edit barrier today, so that's something I guess. Karmafist 22:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- I just had a stupid moment and realized you meant 1000 edits in one day, rather than 1000 total. In that case, you're even more bored than I am... :p —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 22:52, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- And not a moment too soon... Eric Netterlund. —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, eh? Jeez, they made a mistake when they decided to piss me off. How many of those things would be deleted by now if things remained the way they were? In any case, it's not out of boredom, but mostly to prove to myself and to others that it can be done. Karmafist 22:58, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know the details, but from what I gather, the whole userbox debate is a giant mess... so I've stayed far, far away. —chair lunch dinner™ (talk) 23:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for participating in Wikiproject New Jersey. In an attempt to create articles for some of the non-existing pages related to New Jersey, NJCOTW was recently created to bring members of WP:NJ together to work collaboratively on a certain selected topic, which this week is List of Governors of New Jersey. Please help by nominating/voting/commenting on articles on WP:NJCOTW, or by helping to improve articles in the scope of the topic for the NJCOTW. AndyZ 00:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
109th Division (?phantom)
[edit]You listed 109th Infantry Division on Formation of the United States Army, but you made it redirect to the 19th Infantry Division, a World War I division which's activation was cancelled. Why?--SOCL 15:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Content Removal
[edit]Please do not remove content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. 70.48.250.87 23:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- This is a content dispute, not vandalism, and you know that perfectly well, 70.48.250.87.
Unhappy with censorship
[edit]I think what you are doing is fair. I am a big fan of wikipedia but this is my first time posting to the site. How is anyone going to be able to post anything with all these hoops they have to go through? If you have other people posting immoral topics like auto-fellatio and pimping, then I don't see anything wrong with my Freehold Raceway Mall topic or the Deflowering Room topic. Both are true and something I have researched. What more do you want? I just thought it would be cool to actually throw it on wikipedia for everyone to see.
I would like to submit this again. So how about you explain to me what it is exactly that offended you and let me know what I can't say so I can repost this. I'm happy I saved it. The internet is a domain for truth, no matter how immoral or wrong it may be. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thejax (talk • contribs) 02:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! I reverted your edit to Freehold Raceway Mall because Wikipedia does not permit original research, and content must be verifiable. If the information you added has been published by a reliable third-party source, feel free to revert my edit. It isn't about anyone being personally offended, it's just that there are certain rules and standards the Wikipedia community tries to adhere to. And just so you know, even if you didn't save the removed content, it would still be in the page history (see Wikipedia:Reverting).
- If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to respond on this page. Don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes (like this: ~~~~) —chair lunch dinner™ talk 13:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your reply. The topic about Freehold Raceway Mall is true. I don't understand your original research idea. Original research s what you do to find that the topicd is actually verifiable. I have a few confidential memos from the management of the mall to mall security over this matter. I have obtained these through an anonymous friend who works for the mall's management company Macerich. I also have a newspaper article from the Asbury Park Press pertaining to this matter. I hope that is good enough. And regarding the pictures. These are my pictures. How can I provide proof that the pictures you see are mine? They are on my camera. SO I will revert this and let me know if what I said is ok. I just want to add to wikipedia to make it a better experience for everyone, just like everyone else. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thejax (talk • contribs) 10:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- The Asbury Park Press article is fine, but the confidential memos might not be. WP:RS states "We may not use primary sources whose information has not been made available by a reliable publisher." So unless these memos were published by a newspaper or other media organization (for example), they probably won't suffice. The images are also fine; I only nominated Image:Freehold-dress.jpg and Image:Freehold-legs.jpg for deletion because the context in which they were used didn't seem encyclopedic. But since that's now been addressed with the citation of the APP article, I'll withdraw the nominations. Also, thanks for adding the copyright info for Image:Exam-dress.jpg and Image:Exam-table.jpg. The article Deflowering Room could also use some citations and external links, but assuming the information is verifiable, it looks quite good, especially for one's first article. Thanks for contributing! —chair lunch dinner™ talk 18:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- If you are going to withdraw the nomination, then why are you bothering again. I thought we agreed on this. Come on man. Isn't there people on here that are really vandalizing stuff on here? Can't you bother them instead. I'm sorry if you can;t handle the topic I am posting and that you have to use every single excuse in the wikipedia rules to get rid of it. Hey, what can you do. Some people I guess don't have a full time job. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thejax (talk • contribs) 11:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Deflowering Room was deleted not because of me, but because it was tagged as either a hoax or vandalism by several other people. The images are nominated for deletion simply because they are orphaned (not being used on any page). —chair lunch dinner™ talk 16:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
User:DCNanney and the report to WP:AIAV
[edit]Hi, I saw your report on WP:AIAV about this user. Looking at his contributions, I don't think it's fair to say that he is committing vandalism, but it looks to me more like you are in a content dispute with this user. The information he added to Daily Kos and Markos Moulitsas Zúniga does not qualify as vandalism: it is not patent nonsense, and it's not at all clear it is being added in bad faith. It may very well be WP:NPOV or tendentious editing, but these are content disputes. Please bring this dispute to the talk page of the various articles or to the user's talk page. If the user violates WP:3RR or becomes disruptive, then he can be blocked, but you'd report that in a different area anyway.
WP:AIAV is for WP:V in progress. Looking at User:DCNanney's contributions here, it looks like this user hasn't editted for at least 10 hours. Even if his edits had been blatant vandalism, a block now would not be appropriate, as it would have stopped long ago.... typically if a user has had no activity in the last hour, they are removed from WP:AIAV without a block.
For purposes of transparency, I'll also add a link on User talk:DCNanney linking to this conversation.
Hope this helps, and please feel free to add questions or comments here or on my talk page. --Deville (Talk) 15:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tips... very much appreciated! —chair lunch dinner™ talk 15:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- No problem! -- Deville (Talk) 03:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually it is vandalism - DCNanny keeps adding patently false information into a biography of a living person. There's really nothing to mediate. There is nothing to suggest that Markos is a socialist - he's a conservative democrat (or as he describes himself, a libertarian democrat). Guettarda 15:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
See User_talk:Deville#Chairlunchdinner.2C_DCNanny_and_Markos_Moulitsas. Guettarda 15:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
My goal is to slap you silly.

Image:Richsexton.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Richsexton.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok ☠ 19:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Junchoi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 13:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 119 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |

New Jersey Collaboration news | New WPNJ members | ||
WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer.
Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process. |

Reboot progress report | Help Wanted | ||
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |
| ||
Editor's Notes | |||
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller | |||

The Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist. |

Wikipedia Release version 0.7 | New WPNJ members | ||
The Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the articles tagged for cleanup, or nominate additional articles for inclusion.
Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.
The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 119 articles that have not been assessed. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

Education Task Force - The conversion of the former WikiProject Education is New Jersey has been completed. New Jersey education-related articles are now supported by the Education task force. The project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings. No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes. These pages were not widely watched, and are often a hidden location for vandalism and BLP violations. WPNJ has 104 articles that used these pages. A complete list of them, along with their contents, can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Deprecation of comments. It is up to the members of WPNJ to decide what to do with this information. |

Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete | New WPNJ members | ||
Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles. School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles! |

Editor's news. OK, so I am going to try this again. It's been a little over a year since our last edition, and activity at the project was a bit slow during that time. Things have picked up again over the last few months, so once more into the breech I go. I will try to produce this newsletter on a regular basis (bi-monthly?) to see if we can get some more activity going at WPNJ. Help is always appreciated, and there is plenty to do. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |

In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||
