banned , or not?

Hi you claim Joe Circus is banned, diff - is he banned, please provide a diff to the discussion ? Youreallycan 21:52, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. There was an initial discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive727#Inappropriate block of Joe Circus, in which there was strong support for indef blocking; after events at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joe Circus/Archive, HelloAnnyong imposed an indef block. I don't think anyone ever questioned that. Jakew (talk) 22:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, so, it seems his account is blocked WP:Block and not banned then. WP:BAN - WP:Banned users Its of little real world value but on wiki there is a difference between being banned and blocked and its best imo if we refer correctly to users status. Regards - Youreallycan 22:20, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it qualifies per "Editors who remain indefinitely blocked after due consideration by the community"; it doesn't seem all that important that the discussion re indef blocking took place before, rather than after, the block. But I guess one could argue the point either way. Jakew (talk) 22:29, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes - imo - if you want to refer to him as WP:Banned - you should return and get community confirmation. Its relevant to your revert of his comment, banned users can be reverted on sight, even if it is beneficial to discussion or content. Youreallycan 23:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's necessary to open another discussion for its own sake. That feels too bureaucratic for my taste. Jakew (talk) 09:28, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Article author?

Hi there, User:Tftobin, in a roundabout manner, stated that you're the "JAKE H. WASKETT" listed as an author of the following articles: Hospital Discharge Data Underestimate Circumcision Rates, MEDICAID COVERAGE OF NEWBORN CIRCUMCISION: A HEALTH PARITY RIGHT OF THE POOR, Fine-touch pressure thresholds in the adult penis, Errors in meta-analysis by Van Howe, and CASE NUMBER AND THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF CIRCUMCISION IN REDUCING PROSTATE CANCER. Are you? Thanks! Banaticus (talk) 00:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, that's right. I've coauthored a few letters & papers, as I mention on my user page, and these are among them. Jakew (talk) 08:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation

I withdrew my AfD on this article, I'm gonna re-work the article as List of campaigns against female genital mutilation which may be notable as there are several high profile organizations which have campaigns in and of themselves. Vietminh (talk) 01:11, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Jakew (talk) 13:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Searl Effect Generator

Hey, I left a comment at the AfD but I will leave the same here as you are the AfD author: "Meco has just restored the text of the badly sourced Searl Effect Generator. I would suggest including this into the AfD as well. " IRWolfie- (talk) 11:27, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I've responded at the AfD. Thank you for taking the trouble to notify me. Jakew (talk) 12:23, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Agh!

I'm very sorry! That was accidental. Morrowulf (talk) 20:13, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I think that was some sort of edit conflict that I didn't notice or deal with properly. Sorry again.

And yet another comment (I do this a lot, don't I?): do you happen to have copies of or links to your letters published in journals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morrowulf (talk • contribs) 20:32, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry. Yes, I've links to a few of the letters, and have electronic copies of all of them in some form or other. If you want a copy of any in particular, do feel free to use "Email this user" (in the toolbox on the left-hand side). Jakew (talk) 21:04, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Moved comment

Jakew, thanks for moving that and bolding the statements, everything looks good. Morrowulf (talk) 16:40, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Jakew, thanks for moving my comments. I was crossing a line I didn't know existed. Sorry to have been a nuisance. Tftobin (talk) 19:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry — you aren't the first person to have done that. Jakew (talk) 08:12, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

User talk:50.98.133.211

Hi Jake. Your last revert of the IP to Circumcision was commendable in the sense that it was done with a nice welcome message and explanation. I fear there is speculation that every IP is Joe Circus and consequently might be a bit rough or even block an innocent volunteer. On the other side of the coin, if it is Joe Circus we still have to treat all IP's equally unless a check user has verified they are in fact a blocked editor. I am surprised and concerned at the large list of blocked IP's here [1] and truly hope they are all in fact socks of said editor. Garycompugeek (talk) 13:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't have any reason to believe that 50.98 is Joe, Gary: there's no behavioural clues that it is Joe, and the IP isn't an open proxy. I think it's just an IP making a misguided edit. Jakew (talk) 16:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
