This is a Wikipedia user talk page. This is not an encyclopedia article, or even the talk page for an encyclopedia article. It is a miserable little pile of secrets. Do not consult it for term papers, doctoral dissertations, Congressional committee reports, ecumenical statements, et cetera. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror, or one of those ersatz knockoff sites that make fake profiles of Wikipedia editors and claim them as users. Be aware that the page may be outdated, or stupid, and that the user to whom this talk page belongs to may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself. The original talk page is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JPxG.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

On 11 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aramburu Island, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Aramburu Island is named after its creator, a Marin County supervisor who ordered it cut off from the mainland because he "did not think any homes should be built" there? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aramburu Island. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aramburu Island), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Have this pumpkin flavored beer for quickly and awesomely tableifying giant pumpkin, a task I dreaded :) CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:46, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! If you're interested, the way I make tables is with find-replacing stuff in Sublime Text (i.e. I replaced * with \n! scope="row" | ). It helped that the rows were all formatted consistently to begin with. Happy to help! jp×g 22:49, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can we know with this has been relised? There is a clear consensus and all arguments for deletion has been met. -- Maudslay II (talk) 07:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

	The Citation Barnstar
	Congratulations on achieving a new Wikipedia record by sourcing Passive attack as part of your extraordinary efforts to improve unsourced articles at AfD. It had no inline or explicitly-cited sources from 1 February 2004 to 14 April 2021 (17 years, 79 days) -- the longest interval of any article in the history of the English Wikipedia.

Please do not retroactively apply deletion sorting to closed nominations, as you did with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Article about a non-notable item of non-English slang.. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:54, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LaundryPizza03: Yeah, as soon as I checked the output of the script I saw that it had been added to the top of every category. Not a 200IQ move, I have to confess. Oopsies! jp×g 22:01, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop clerking threads at ANI. You're archiving them too quickly. Just because someone was blocked does not mean that it's time to close a thread, and just because the thread was closed does not mean it's time to archive it. If you insta-close threads and shuffle them somewhere else, it's a real pain for me to find them and look into socking concerns. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JPxG. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kimball Island".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:01, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pythoncoder: I have a large number of userspace pages, and am unaware of any POG requiring me to edit them every six months. This was neither a draft nor an AfC submission; is there a reason you tagged it as G13? jp×g 19:29, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the page is deleted now, I can't speak to the specific reasons why I nominated it, but if you go to WP:REFUND/G13 and request its undeletion, I'll leave it alone. Sorry about that. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 22:05, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you find yourself G13-tagging content in other people's userspace, you need to be more cautious about G13s. Vaticidalprophet 22:07, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Largo, California (AfD discussion)

I have just discovered an entire area of California. (See User talk:Drmies#Puppetteer report for what the brown box is, if you aren't familiar with this.) Uncle G (talk) 07:06, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Uncle G: Wow! A splendid discovery. It looks like Ukiah Valley, California is a rather pitiful stub, so it looks like there's lots of fun writing ahead of us. Assuming, of course, someone can point fools like me at the proper sources! jp×g 08:36, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

		The Sewer Cover Barnstar
		You have been awarded the Sewer Cover Barnstar because you can read through anything. You don’t know the meaning of attention deficit disorder, laugh in the face of boredom, and are wasting your talents if you don’t become a patent examiner.

JPxG, thank you very much for toughing through the Sewer Cover Barnstar challenge. You not only read through one of those date articles (2008), but you made substantial copy edits to it. I might ask if you were frightened by the prospect of wading into an endless fountain of disconnected trivia. But I expect you might answer something along the lines of this:

Frightened? You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death -- sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe. I was petrified. Then suddenly I felt a burst of, editing energy and I greatly improved the article, after which, I came to your talk page where I was acclaimed First Editor of Trivia de Luxe!

You, sir, have joined an elite club that is populated exclusively by those who can tough through abject boredom and prevail using nothing but shear willpower. Greg L (talk) 04:38, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
