ok no probs, but there is also a rule that says;
and about "The reason that DAJF put the gallery in was because you really mangled the layout of the article when you redid the section"
Well DAJF could have just reverted my edits, if he didn't like "my mangled layout".
I would like you to compare the two versions and, if you see that yours is better, I don't mind keeping this way. Cheers, Abdallah (talk) 19:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I Have re-added the information that it is simply a chicken burger in Australia.

It was me that added the reference to The Burger King being based on Henry VIII. In all honesty, i did it on a bet. In a recent discussion with a friend of mine, we were pondering the general accuracy of Wikipedia (you know, that whole, i-read-it-on-the-internet-so-it-must-be-true kind of mentality). Without controls on the content of such knowledge repositories, they cannot be deemed relible. It was determined to make a fairly random change to history, and see how long it lasted. We are fairly creative people, and spent a moment reaching for something completely non-sequitor. Then i said, "what if we post that 'the Burger King' was based on Henry VIII' ?" This was agreed as having the required level of randomness, and was subsequently posted. Congratulations to you, defender of the integrity of Wikipedia, it was reverted in a mere 13 minutes. I will not disturb or disrupt any further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nothingofwater (talk • contribs) 00:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, sorry about that, when you said GA, I thought you meant WP:WIAGA, not what a reviewer had said. That said, the reviewer cited Wikipedia:Galleries, which is a rejected proposal, so what the reviewer said is wrong. Could you please restore my gallery fixes? The table is just...awful...at least galleries can resize according to the user's browser resolution. hbdragon88 (talk) 07:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
In your most recent edit of Pizza Hut, you said you would move the "International operations" section in your edit summary. Where did you move that section to? --Jnelson09 (talk) 04:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jeremy,
there seems to be some kind of problem with the Global Locations listing for Taco Bell, the last portion of the UK and all of the Germany info keeps ending up down in the References section. I have tried removing the complete Global Locations subsection and adding it in its entirety again by doing a new edit. This doesn't work. Could you please take a look and see if maybe there is an open link (but not closed properly with "") for example? That might be the problem.
Please let me know what the problem was,
Thanks Toni S. (talk) 12:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I wonder if you might explain your reversion of my edit to the KFC article. The changing of a major brand presence is significant and I think it's appropriate that it appear at the end of the lead section. Even if you disagree, I wonder why you removed the information completely from the article instead of just moving it to a different section. It would have been nice if you had addressed this matter in the KFC discussion page when reverting. Acsenray (talk) 15:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Another editor has added the ((prod))
template to the article McDonald's Premium line, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the ((prod))
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 12:00, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 05:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I've been so freaking busy. I started teaching last week, judged an amateur culinary competition 30 minutes south of Boston the weekend before and then had to drive to Rutland, Vermont to take a written test for my Certified Executive Chef certification with the American Culinary Federation. I was then in St. Augustine Florida since Friday (drove) to compete in an ACF culinary competition which I got a gold medal in. I now get to put in my application to be a full judge with the ACF as that was the last required medal, which means even more traveling lol, but that's a good thing. I'm supposed to be in Boston on Thursday to meet with my thesis advisor, but I don't think that is happening. How have you been?--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 05:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Get the firing squad, I have offended with my horrible spelling.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 13:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I see. I'm reading a bit of the back story now. I was just a little surprised about Badagnani's comments. He (or she?) and I have collaborated on a lot of articles before in a civil and constructive way. I felt it was very confrontational to use "RVV" for edits which are not vandalism, and refer to the removal of the contentious part of one sentence as "blanking". My main objection in that sentence is the use of the "stolen dog incident" as a source. And "all dogs are eaten" is probably a bit of an over-generalization.

Thanks for uploading Image:Murderkingold.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) 06:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I readded him at AIV for you, although since the sockpuppetier is banned, all his edits will need to be reverted as banned users cannot edit. Momusufan (talk) 00:48, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia's banning policy states that "Any edits made in defiance of a ban may be reverted to enforce the ban, regardless of the merits of the edits themselves. As the banned user is not authorized to make those edits, there is no need to discuss them prior to reversion."
Thats wikipedia policy about banned users. Momusufan (talk) 00:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand this WP:AIV report. I don't see any edits that the user made. Toddst1 (talk) 17:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the citation. I don't see how reading the "whole article" would have informed me any more - the sentence you quoted was not in the article, and still isn't. It was in a citation attributed to a different paragraph, which didn't mention the target age in any way. Adding a fact tag is a request for verification for a specific point, not "a blanket statement challenging fact". But thanks anyway.Yobmod (talk) 10:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your good work on Vandal patrol. Please sign and date warnings you place on user pages so that if/when they are reported to AIV, we admins can see if there was vandalism after the final warning or not. Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 21:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your message and the good point it made. Have now restored the above and links from transcluding articles. Sardanaphalus (talk) 22:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I saw your post to AN/I about plagiarism of the articles you wrote. It's unfortunate but this happens all the time. I've seen the one good article I wrote (an article about an album called Made in the Dark), ripped off by plenty of websites. It's funny because you can hear your own words echoing through the ripped off material. The worst thing of all is that here we are, unpaid volunteers, and yet there are people ripping off what we've wrote, without crediting us and getting paid big money to do so...

You are clearly the specialist on this topic. I thought you might have been unsure as to whether I was making a valid contribution. I will assume your decisions are well-conceived.

I'm not arguing that trademarks are unimportant; it's just that it wasn't very relevant to the articles. Every commercial product is trademarked, but we don't need a special paragraph to note that fact in every single article (unless, as in your example, the trademark was subject to a highly-publicized dispute). —Chowbok ☠ 21:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand why this is so mysterious. I've explained, twice, why I'm doing it. Neither time you did you give me a response. If you can't be bothered to address my arguments, than I don't see why I have to stop removing that paragraph. Why should I stop just on your say-so?—Chowbok ☠ 23:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I was NOT disrupting, vandalizing anything at all. There is a NEW kind of Adverts that are going around depicting utter stupidity. Have you seen the recent BK ads on TV? This new form of advertising should be placed in the BK articles. I only asked who the demographic was that is being targeted by these ads. If they're targeting women, they'd be feminine in nature. If working men, they'd show men working on the job - blue collar jobs, like construction. Again, who or what is the demographic that idiotic adverts like the recent BK ads are to target? Not you and I. 205.240.146.247 (talk) 05:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

When you post vandalism warnings, please sign your posts.
When you post vandalism warnings, the "last warning" should not be the first warning. Even though PieClock had received previous notices, that individual had not edited anything since earlier in the month. A wholly new round of vandalism means the person should get a new round of warnings.
Giving someone an "only warning" after giving a "last warning" indicates that the last warning wasn't really the last and therefore means nothing. You might consider using a template like User:Doczilla/Template:Uw-vandalism4x, which some editors like but some do not. Not everyone agrees that any notice should be posted after a "last warning."
All that aside, thank you for your efforts to combat vandalism in Wikipedia. Doczilla STOMP! 09:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Jerem43, regarding the BK legal issues article, why those three cases? The article's Lead opens with "As with other multi-national corporations, international fast food restaurant chain Burger King has had its share of controversies and legal issues over the course of its existence." This statement actually appears to diminish the significance of the lawsuits. You rightly say that you are focusing on "company altering law suits that had significant impact on the industry", but there doesn't seem to be any material in the article that supports that goal. I'm not saying that BK doesn't have legal activity that isn't noteworthy enough to be covered in a stand-alone article, but why these three cases (along with the "controversies")? I'm thinking that if you could locate analysis in legal journals and sources other than run-of-the-mill publications that identify these cases and situations as having a significant impact on the industry and BK then the article value and quality would be enhanced.

Wow, I'm gone for a few months and I come back to see numerous articles which I wrote trashed, removed citations to put in stuff that makes no sense whatsoever, how frustrating. Luckily one can go back and revert items, but wow some of this stuff. I had to request a restriction on the French cuisine article as it had gotten so bad. I might have to do the same for chef and Italian cuisine. Anyways, sorry I always have issues with poor communication. I haven't actually made it back out to Boston since January, things have been really hectic. Here's to hoping my summer is a little more relaxing. How have you been?--Chef Tanner (talk) 18:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks from me, too. That "user" has caused more trouble than any I've ever seen on any wiki. Just amazing.

Jerem43, just so you know, I have grave concerns about Limetolime's actions in listing the BK article as GA given the issues you and I have been discussing and acting on. I'm unsure how he can promote it given Good article criteria #2 and #5. I am asking him/her to solicit another, experienced editor's assistance in reviewing the action. This has more to do with Limetolime's actions on a number of recent GANs more than the article itself.

I will likely be drunk on rice wine tonight lol. After working on this article I decided to invite a bunch of friends over after we go out to dinner at the Korean restaurant to make a bunch of different dishes (I have a huge kitchen with ten burners and any kitchen implement you could ever want to use form a professional kitchen) and hopefully remember to take some pictures to use for this and other articles. there might just be pictures of a bunch of drunk jerks though haha.

Don't cause too little trouble.--Chef Tanner (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
What is "rather" surprising is that you didn't notice that, in fact, I wrote the English in the Commonwealth of Nations article--assuming you weren't just kidding. I actually plan on adding more information to it, but I don't have much time right now--I'm currently focusing on North American dialects. Yet most of the articles on second-language varieties of English are either poor or simply nonexistent. Anyway, the problem is the very phrase "Commonwleath English," which is basically never used by linguists or lexicographers, since it's a gross and somewhat troublesome oversimplification from the standpoint of dialectology, sociolinguistics, and geography alike. It is mainly used by Wikipedians, open software programmers, etc. Most of the Google hits for it come from Wikipedia, Wikipedia mirrors, Wiktionary, forums of the shoot-the-shit kind--or are false positives.

I'm off to send out the newsletter now, just a few days late this time, we need lives, you have a wife I have no excuse lol.--Chef Tanner (talk) 22:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. It just seemed a strange thing to do when the sub-project was already there. --JD554 (talk) 07:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
No problem, happy to help - and it's more exciting than New Page Patrolling. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 17:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Food and Drink Newsletter July 2008
You might want to put Wikipedia:WikiProject Herbs and Spices (which seems inactive) into WPFOOD, too. I've been working on herb and spice articles for some time and have never come across this banner, which doesn't seem even to be implemented at most articles on this subject (only 15 articles are tagged). Badagnani (talk) 17:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't an accusation, but yes, I'm a bit upset because your good faith boldness did impinge on our sovereignty as a project. You did manage to offend quite a number of people between the banner change and the overzealous tagging effort, and you're making it worse by not simply saying "yes, we screwed up, we're sorry". At the very minimum, apologize instead of blaming the bot. I would also feel much more comfortable (and willing to drop the whole thing) if you removed the "beer=yes" capacity from the food tag. We have our own tag, and we're quite happy with it. – ClockworkSoul 02:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for expressing your concerns on the recent issue Issue with TinucherianBot in Project Banner Tagging for WP:FOOD . I have made some comments and explainations at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#TinucherianBot and I am leaving this note just for your information -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 08:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jerem43. I've left a message on the talkpage of the template. Currently when someone adds beer=yes to the template it adds the talkpage of that article directly to the main beer cat. I tried crudely removing the cat section from the template, but that didn't seem to work. The only way I could stop it from adding the talkpage to the main beer cat is to remove beer=yes from each template tag on the relevant talkpages. Is there a way you can rewrite the template to prevent it putting either the talkpage or the article itself in any of the beer cats? Regards SilkTork *YES! 19:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
As you are working on the banner I'm going to keep from making edits on it, but I just wanted to let you know that the To Do list is not collapsed for some reason now.--Chef Tanner (talk) 02:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Bedtime, haha. You're right about that. Badagnani (talk) 07:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
An important discussion on " Should WikiProjects get prior approval of other WikiProjects (Descendant or Related or any ) to tag articles that overlaps their scope ? " is open here . We welcome you to participate and give your valuable opinions. You are receiving this note since I thought you may be interested in this disussion. -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - , member of WikiProject Council. 13:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I take it we probably aren't using the bot thing anymore, so we still need to go through and change all of the Cheeses pages over to your new banner I think, and we will have to do the same with the colonel's Herbs and Spices pages.--Chef Tanner (talk) 13:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
You just started the talk:Biomass Cook Stoves page to add a project template. Just curious as to the purpose of this. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
wow ! both of us asked for speedy of this toegther :) -- TinuCherian (Chat?) - 07:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
But it does for food and drink. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 07:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I saw you tagged the WikiProject Bartending talk page with the new Food template. I noticed that the template still refers to "cocktail" instead of mixed drinks. Can you change the attribute from cocktail to "mixed" or something like that? Also, bartending and mixed drinks are two different (though very related) projects (well, project and task force, I guess). I haven't had the time to update the WikiProject Bartending information much yet, nor have I had time to update the Wikibooks Bartending Guide either. I am out of town half of each week, and my non-wiki work in the real world is really sucking up my free time. Since this is still all kind of new, I'd rather see it get fixed now, rather than waiting until everything is in place and then going back and making a slew of changes after the fact.
What we really need is a "mixed" ('mix = yes' to match WP:MIX) and a "bartending" ('bar = yes' to match WP:BAR) section within the template. A few things will probably be in both sections, but bartending is much more to do with the occupation, tools of the trade, drinkware, bartenders, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, etc. Mixed drinks is any type of mixed drink (alcoholic or virgin), but not plain alcohol (with is basically Beer, Wine, or Distilled Spirits). There is obviously some overlap with the Foodservice task force, too.
Currently Bartending talk is tagged as a "cocktail" page, but it isn't a WikiProject Mixed Drinks page (mix=yes), but rather a WikiProject Bartending page (bar=yes). The two projects also use different images. WP:MIX uses the cocktail sign (which is for historical reasons) and the WP:BAR uses the bartender pouring several flaming beverages at once. The template should display the proper image for the different projects.
Thanks! I really appreciate the work you have been doing on all of this. It really helps. --Willscrlt (Talk) 00:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Oh sorry Jerremy, I was talking to you. --Geronimo20 (talk) 07:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't notice that your were editing Rum Swizzle at the same time I was. I hope we didn't step on each other's edits! - House of Scandal (talk) 22:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
I will ask that you please not address me in such a manner. I am a long-time and productive Wikipedian and your comment comes across as impetuous and more than a bit rude. If the very major edits had been discussed, and consensus reached, there would be no problem. Thanks, Badagnani (talk) 04:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Badagnani has started as discussion concerning the two templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink/Herbs and Spices task force. It would be helpful to resolving the dispute if you could outline your arguments in favour of merging there. CIreland (talk) 05:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
What brought about your change of the references on this article, I have never seen them on another article like that before.--Chef Tanner (talk) 19:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jeremy, I recently did a bunch of research on Terry Teene, Voorhees and Willard Scott's side of the Ronald McDonald story today. I went to the library and found Willard scott books with him saying he created him. I also looked at newspaperarchive.org for hours to find that Terry Teene and George Voorhees story but no luck. But I did happen to find this article with a little part that said Terry Teene, 45, of Granada Hills, the first West Coast Ronald McDonald clown in 1967 and now known as Clownzo, said many clowns are the hurting-on-the-inside, laughing-on-the-outside type best portrayed in the opera "Pagliacci" by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. On the bottom are the Willard Scott books that I have scanned for you to see. But believe me I do want Scott, Voorhees and Teene to have there side of the story as well. I will be looking more tommrow. Plyjacks (talk) 02:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I did more research and a guy named Michael Polakov (aka Cocoa the Clown) also tries takes credit for creating Ronald McDoanld. I found a few sites that said it. But I don't think there reliable.Plyjacks (talk) 23:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I will help out when I can, I've been and will be pretty busy for the next few days.--Chef Tanner (talk) 12:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
If you are having problems in that one area, but writing helps you relax, perhaps I can offer you some other areas to review and edit in for a little while to take your mind off the problems while they are sorted out? If he follows you there, I'm sure he will be stopped rather fast. :) By the way, I'm glad to see you are patients throughout this matter.

![]() | I have restored this commentary for other editors to read when looking into my ANI report of User:Shaheenjim Jeremy (blah blah) 00:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC) |
It's my understanding that you're supposed to warn someone before asking the administrators to block them. So consider this a warning. Don't delete my comments again. - Shaheenjim (talk) 12:24, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
It was after this last posting that I chose to report Shaheenjim's behavior on the ANI message board. As you can see my simple request (cut and pasted from his talk page by him) for him to please focus on the merits of the discussion at the Talk:Daybreak (Battlestar Galactica) and to please try to keep the discussion civil was met by more hostility. --Jeremy (blah blah) 00:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
