Hi Juliancolton, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrbtalk 18:49, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not contesting the PROD, but I was wondering if you could userify it at User:Giants27/Brock Christopher. Cheers,--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 00:50, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Julian. It may be prudent to at least semi-protect this. I realise the chance of this page getting vandalised by a hit-and-run vandal are fairly slim, but I still think that do to its' nature, it should at least have semi-protection. @Kate (talk) 00:52, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
I think you made a mistake, you deleted the talk page but not the article --Yankees10 01:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey. I noticed you promoted this FL. I'm all for being bold, and I don't entirely disagree with your decision, but I had intended to keep this open for more eyes. Even though there were three supports, TRM, Matthewedwards and Scorpion—all former/current FL directors who have many FL credits and are veteran list writers—had several issues with the article (none supported, and note that TRM said "I'm finding it difficult to agree this is our 'finest work'"), and even after several long reviews, I found many errors in the lead. Now, I don't grudge you at all for this, nor will I revert your action, as I am confident that the list was close to FL quality at the time anyway. However, in the future, if you could consult with me first or stick to closing FLCs that are without a shadow of a doubt ready to be promoted, that would be great. Hope you don't mind my bluntness.

Hi,
I'm the artistic director of the Icebox Radio Theater in International Falls, MN. It's just come to my attention that our Wikipedia page has been deleted. I feel the reason given is inaccurate in that we are not a Part-15 radio station, but theatre group creating new and original plays about our region with a growing podcast audience and a presence on American public radio. We did operate a Part-15 transmitter for a time purely for our own listening convenience (Part-15 FM seldom travels more than one city block) But it is hardly our mission.
We are a registered non-profit organization and recipient of three regional grants. We have letters of commendation from the Mayor of International Falls, and currently operate a studio and streaming radio station in the local community center. The streaming station, Icebox Radio, is listed in the iTunes radio directory and is currently the only station online featuring new audio theatre exclusively. We stream many other new audio theater groups in addition to our own content, a service we provide for free.
Would it be possible to reverse our deletion on Wikipedia? If I need to further clarify things, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

Your closure of the AfD on "List of mainstream films with unsimulated sex" is probably the worst one I have seen in 6 years of experience with AfD (and its predecessors). Not only were the editors opining overwhelmingly on the "Keep" side, but the Keep side gave actual policy arguments, while the few "Delete" votes amounted to absolutely nothing other than WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It seems apparent that, for whatever reason, you don't like the topic, and hence decided to ignore process and consensus. Obviously, this needs to go to deletion review... but I, frankly, feel it rises close to user RfC level, or ANI. LotLE×talk 03:37, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, You've protected a version of Global warming that includes a rather large recent addition on the whole email hacking incident. I usually wouldn't say anything about this, per WP:WRONG, but (1) the article has had a long-standing focus on the science, not the politics, and (2) the whole section is completely unsourced, which is unacceptable for a featured article. Especially for the second reason, would you please consider reverting to the version by Short Brigade Harvester Boris? I'd rather the protected version not be one that violates its FA status.

Your conclusion about that AfD is bs. 5 delete for 18 keep isn't a consensus for deletion, and if "mainstream" is that subjective then prepare yourself for a dozen other deletions. The truth is that one user had his sensibilities hurt by the article so he butchered it, removing large chunks both sourced and unsourced, then asked for deletion on the dubious pretext that, let me quote, "it would be a crime to hire people to have sex." The whole ordeal smells of bigotry. Marcus1979 (talk) 00:11, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.
It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

[[User:CD historian| Hello, thank you for all you do... I am so troubled that after extensively refining the page after the last discussions on the page, that you deleted it. I don't believe the discussion addresses the final changes I made. Could you please, please, please look at the following. 1) The balance of the references: Now the balance of the references has shifted dramatically: the vast majority are now non internal, as opposed to what the discussion above says. Please review this, as I spent many hours addressing this concern and putting in all of the external non oasis references requested. 2) Since the American Management Association catalog has been published, I was able to pull a copy of that and verify that the new 180+ hardcover Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit: The Secrets of Five Star Customer Service Organizations is a lead title in their catalog, featuring as the main case studies only The Ritz Carlton Hotel Company and Oasis Disc Manufacturing, thus showing the notability beyond doubt, I would say, of this company. Neither of these points is addressed in the discussion. Please review as well as the general reworking; I think this is a strong, verified, well referenced article on a notable subject now. THANKS!

Dear Juliancolton,
I believe there are some oversights on both sides that may have contributed to your actions. However, I'd like to walk through them for your consideration.
Firstly, there were two other contributors whose recommendations were "Do Not Delete."
Comment. I'm hard pressed to understand how something with several assertions of notability (remember, that's all an article has to do to avoid speedy deleting) is "close to A7". That said, I very vaguely remember trying to spiff this one up last summer and welcoming a new user and guiding her on the COI guidelines. The references are thin, but they are there. She has appeared on national television (US) programming and several high profile local programming as well. I'm not around anymore, and frankly forgot about this article, but at the time I felt it worth inclusion and spent a brief amount of time on it. Reading it again, it does need more cleanup, and removal of some spammy language. Not delete though. Overall, a Weak keep. Keeper | 76 17:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, Janette, I think you should have every chance to prove "notability" by Wikipedia standards. So I went to your article and inserted a few references, and I deleted the complaint about the article not having any references. For more information see Wikipedia:Notability (people). Summary in a nutshell: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." --MelanieN (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2009 (UTC)MelanieNSummary in a nutshell: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." --MelanieN (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2009
Does not Hosting 7 years on one of the former top Home Improvement shows on the DIY NETWORK w Specials on HGTV, a 17 year journalism career on notable stations -serving 5 of those years at 2 top ten stations. along with articles written by the following publications not meet that notability criteria?

For 7 years I was the Dir. of Media/ Exec. Producer for one of the most highly notable Mega Churches in the country Producing a program that is broadcast into nearly 1 billion homes worldwide but Creflo Dollar and Creflo Dollar Ministries is not 'Notable' He was notable enough to be on Larry King Live 2 times over the last year and a half. He was on President Bush's Faith-based initiative board to which I served as well. I couldn't mention it because there was no article mentioning me in that regard. He was the subject of a Time Magazine cover story and had half page articles written on him by both the New York Times and New York Post. I won't regurgitate my full rebuttals here, but it was evident some of your wiki helpers didn't even check your own source for verification on Dr. Dollar or his 'notability'.
I also presented conflicting numbers for 'hits' your 'wiki' commentators reported.
Lastly, the only fault I find is that I was not aware that you should not have someone from your staff or yourself recommend your page.
I also was working to add the appropriate reference materials and dates when with guidance from Wiki helpers when the page is promptly deleted. There are some newpaper articles (from 1999 - 2005) that are no longer available online, however I managed to get the cache' version links to prove they exist. Otherwise any one could lie and say they were written about. Though online access to the original printing/posting is inaccessible - the works and contributions should remain.
Thank you for sharing some of your gift of time to fully read my review request. Respectfully,
Janette Smith

and hope you're good :-) - having been bandying your name around the wiki and mailing lists a bit for the last little while, me popping in here is probably overdue! - I thought I'd swing by just to mention a few things, and see if you were up for any more of a chat...
First I wanted to say that I don't feel you've done anything particularly wrong, nor particularly outrageous, but the issues that your (very minor) edit to a sexually explicit image raise are, to me, worth discussing - in fact, I feel that it's important to try and get some positive discussion and ultimately change in this area - I hope you don't feel that I've been aggressive, or mean, or in any way personal in my mentions of you - I don't think we've interacted much, but you surely seem the very model of a wikipedian :-)
Second, I noticed your reply at jimbo's talk page, and, as I noted there, it interested me that you highlighted the fact that you didn't actually view the image in question, and you don't intend to. I wondered if this was because you might agree with me that it would be inappropriate for you to do so? - that's sort of the implication that I got, but I thought it was worth clarifying :-)
Finally, I've discussed in the past with a number of wiki users the idea of a 'parents and partners' podcast at some point - this issue being only one of those that may be of interest in such a discussion. Would you and a parent (or partner!) be interested in something like this in the future? I've found that voice chats have a greater chance of making useful progress than the reams of circular text that can sometimes accompany on-wiki textual chat :-) cheers, and a merry chrimbo anywhoo.....

Hey Julian, are you still on call? I have a problem on Roy Gutman--a quick glance at the edit history should make it sufficiently clear that we are dealing with an SPA sock, now that the prime "gutter" of the article has received a 3RR warning (after 4 reversals, mind you). I'd love to file a 3RR thingy and all, but I haven't done that in a while--and it's really past my bedtime. Would you do me a favor and look into it, or delegate it? Maybe after performing a speedy close on SpacemanSpiff or Ucucha's RfAs and letting them do the work? Seriously, I gotta go, but this seemed urgent to me.

Thanks, but now is not a good time for me to be thinking about running an RfA. Mainly because I'm too busy to be able to commit any more time to Wikipedia than I do right now. It's possible I'll have a lot of free time over the Christmas break if the internship I'm looking at doesn't materialize, but that would only be a month, and I think I should wait at least a few months so I can get some experience working in areas of the wiki where I haven't spent much time so far. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 02:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Juliancolton. You have new messages at Coldplay Expert's talk page.

Yes we can verify everything as I have stated....which pretty much means the wiki editors never checked anything. From what I am learning, pushing a delete button is easy; checking the truth takes more time, effort and skill.
A simple search on imdb.com website under actor "Cliff Taylor" would have saved trouble and a guessing game. How hypocritical to question truth without any verification or investigation.
If you wish I will run through a point by point analysis of the material in the article if that is what it takes with you or any so called editor. I do wonder what qualifications are used to come to that conclusion since anyone can call themselves an "editor"Abdulfez (talk) 21:02, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Julian. I tried out your initial advice of waiting until toward the end of the year to run for RfA, although it ended badly (roughly 37% support). I agreed with the users in the oppose and neutral sections that I needed more experience, and I withdrew the candidacy. I was hoping we could work on the issues people opposed over?

Hello
I was trying to find an answer to my question about having the abdulfez entry put back up on Wikipedia again.
As I said, it was not a "HOAX" as described by the editors that deleted it and I have no idea why it was deleted as no email or any notice was sent to us of any kind.
A simple check on GOOGLE or the imdb.com data base would reveal that abdulfez aka actor Cliff Taylor exists.Abdulfez (talk) 00:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
imdb is not a reliable source?? imdb just happens to be one of the largest repositories for information in show business. I will forward your comments to them.
Since the information on abdulfez is mostly relating to his resume (and I will tell you again that every word of it is fact) what does an artist have to do--provide written affidavits from every employer he has ever worked for? That would be next to impossible. So where are those verifing sources to come from? The media? Do you want TV guide or Radio Times?
The abdulfez page mentions that he is an actor on MTV-Europe, a voice actor on the hit comedy show Spitting Image in the UK. That could be checked if your editors did a proper job? Television productions logs? Those are not an actors property.
The "unanimous decision" by your editors does not count when based on heresy; a Wiki policy that is silly and simply unworkable. You do more harm than good without helping your credibility in the community.
I will challange this and make a complaint to Jimmy Wales whom I have spoken to in the past about doing a concert to help RAISE money for Wikipedia since abdulfez has worked with Bob Geldof and Max Headroom in the past for Fashion Aid and Sports Aid...but I would not expect you would believe that without an affidavit either.
All I see here is blatant incompetence.
PS/
imdb checks sources and are usually very accurate....of course that is not a perfect universe is it.abdulfez 01:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdulfez (talk • contribs)

Running away is always the easy option.

Hi, you deleted this article about a year ago due to this AfD. The article was recently recreated and from a glance it doesn't appear to have addressed the notability problems presented in the AfD. Can you look at the deleted version and see if this new page qualifies for a G4 speedy? If not, I'll probably have to send it back to AfD. ThemFromSpace 03:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Juliancolton. :) You said on my talk page that I should ping you if I wanted to collaborate with you on writing an article... As you are not on IRC this is quite impossible, but a message on your talk page should do the trick!
I recently rewrote the article on origami. However, I feel as though it is not as up to par as what should be expected on wikipedia... I was wondering if you could help me improve the article, and perhaps even improve it to good article status. Some guidance in this process would be much appreciated!
Let me know what you think, either on here, or on IRC.
Thank you for your time!

Hi Julian,
I've been watching the David A. Steinberg article for a while now and usually check on it once a month for vandalism. I noticed that it has been deleted through the auto-tools for not meeting notability standards. While I would agree he is not a historical figure of significance like George Washington, he was the founder of a major online marketing company. Based on the historical vandalism for his article, he has quite a bit of notoriety good and bad for that company's rise to billion dollar internet darling and fall from grace into bankruptcy. I would like to bring this article back from the deletion log since I believe that it meets the criterion set by what wikipedia is not.

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
