Great! I was a bit confused at first... haha! By the by, usually new users don't talk like this ;) Intothewoods29 (talk) 19:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Rose, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. adding irrelevant javascript JoJan (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there JoJan. I see you have recently reverted one of my edits, namely to the article Rose, as vandalism. I appreciate the speed of your edit: great job. However, the edit was not unconstructive. If you look carefully at my edit, you will see that in it I had identified the variety of rose illustrated by one of the images in the botany section. Unfortunately, my browser occasionally malfunctions while I am editing this wiki, and as a result, randomly inserts javascript into the page. It appears to be taking code from my monobook.js, and pasting it onto pages I edit. I have thankfully fixed the problem, which I believe was associated with the automated peer reviewer I use. I have removed the code from my monobook, as it does not appear to be compatible with Google Chrome. Thank you for your concern: I have now re-edited article Rose, without any problems. If you have anymore concerns, please notify me. Also recall our policies on newcomers, namely WP:BITE and WP:AGF. As you are an admin, I am sure you are familiar with them. Good day, Elucidate (parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 16:01, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm always pleased to get help with DYK. Obviously it leads to mistakes but we also overcheck each others work. Putting a note on the other persons talk page is nice, but its not essential. Thx from the wiki. Oh and we need another load filling now? Victuallers (talk) 10:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
It's not Gangsta's Paradise (song) that's DYK; it's List of awards and nominations received by Coolio. Gary King (talk) 21:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
I think we have a minor problem. You have I think handed out the credits before the article is on the main page. Our rules are that we do it after ..... I'll fix it. Don't worry. Victuallers (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding more meat to the Influences section you started at Art Deco. Sorry for deleting the bit about Restoration but by itself it didn't help the reader to understand the arc of influence from unstated 19th century styles to 20th century Art Deco. I like your later expansion very much. Binksternet (talk) 19:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Elucidate,
I ended up putting the VP idea on ice for a few reasons. One was that I was trying to get it up and started at about the same time as the VI project on Commons (separately) got started, and I thought we didn't we need to be competing with each other on implementation. The Commons one seems to be going OK atm, so haven't pursued the one here. I also saw a lot of work for myself, and to be honest I often don't have that much time to spend on Wiki due to 'real world' commitments. Having said which I am not opposed to the project getting up and running here and would contribute when available, but I'm not sure that it's really necessary at this time.
There was actually quite a bit of development, possibly more than you realise. Refer to User:Jjron/VP Trial, User:Jjron/VP Trial 2 (a different incarnation based on other user's comments), and Wikipedia_talk:Picture_peer_review#Valued_Pictures_Proposal (as well as the discussion on the FP talk page that MER-C linked to). There's also a bit of discussion of it on my userpage (and other people's, especially Muhammad's), largely to do with whether or not to get it going since June, so you can look back through that if you want.
BTW, just wondering, for a new user you seem to be pretty au fait with the processes here. Are you an 'old-timer' from Commons or another language Wikipedia? --jjron (talk) 13:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
