Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:09, 23 January 2007

Kilkenny other places.

If you deleted the references to the U.S. cities of the same name. I think you should reconsider. Irish emigrants probably settled in these places and it is good to know that they exist. Michael O' Carroll 19:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what you're referring to. Can you provide some links or some other context? older ≠ wiser 19:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I suppose you're referring to this edit. I removed that partial list because that is the purpose of disambiguation pages, such as Kilkenny (disambiguation), which is linked at the top of the Kilkenny page. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 19:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I've restored your lighthouse images to Commons. —Angr 18:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

You probably want -when you are able to login- to enable mail notification of changes on your commons talk page. Platonides 22:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, not being able to log in is an as yet insurmountable initial hurdle. older ≠ wiser 23:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced warnings

Thanks for the heads up. I've been using Martinp23's NPWatcher and noticed the problem last night, but didn't have time to follow up. I'll get him on the fix! --Steve _(Slf67) 23:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Dublin, MI

Hey I was wondering why you merged the Dublin article with Norman township. It was under the Michigan wikiproject for things to be done/created and it fits criteria for being unique/of interest because of James Earl Jones being from there....Strunke 07:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I dislike short, stubby articles that are unlikely to be expanded. I generally merge such stubby content about places into the next higher sub-division, which in Michigan is usually a township. If you have more detailed, and verifiably sourced, information with which to expand the Dublin, Michigan article, then by all means do so. BTW, being the birthplace of someone moderately famous is not necessarily a reason to have a standalone article about a place if that is the sum of what makes it notable. older ≠ wiser 23:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

It's just frustrating for someone to just merge the article after you took the work to make it. Stubby or not and whether you like it or not. It was on the list for creation and should be left alone. It is not going to be an elaborate article because it's only small town without any real history available on the internet. Strunke 19:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the frustration. It is however common practice to merge stubby content, not merely a peculiarity of mine. As you acknowledge, there is very little prospect that this would ever amount to anything more than a stub. Simply because something is on a list somewhere or other does not mean much of anything as far was what happens to it after it is created. There is a sizable contingent of veteran editors here who will merge such stubby content into articles that provide more context. Besides, it is not like the content is gone. And a link to Dublin, Michigan will still take a reader to that information, so I'm not sure what the objection is. older ≠ wiser 20:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Suburb

Rather than removing this template, I think we should improve it. We could use the talk page to hash out ideas for how this could work. I don't see how it is misleading at all.--futurebird 21:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The template implies a clearly defined hierarchy, while the precise relations of the hierarchy is nowhere very clearly established. Some of the steps of the hierarchy ended in "to be determined" or some such vagary. In all, the template is, as my edit summary indicated unusual, rather inscrutable and somewhat misleading. older ≠ wiser 23:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i need your help

One of your admin, Doc glasgow , is threatening me and blocking my account. We have a dispute in the definition on living person.

Please contact me for more information.

Thanks

Please...

I don't got time to fight with people like you. If you don't like what I do, please leave a comment on my Talk Page. Asher Heimermann 20:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Who's fighting? You made a cut and paste move and I reverted you. We can talk anytime you like. older ≠ wiser 20:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

However, I feel you are making unconstructive edits. And I belive that is considered vandalism on Misplaced Pages. Asher Heimermann 20:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Undiscussed moves, let alone, cut and paste moves, are also unconstructive edits. older ≠ wiser 20:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, please! Asher Heimermann 20:23, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

"Oh please" what? Are you saying that either undiscussed or cut and paste moves are acceptable? older ≠ wiser 20:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I just don't have time for people like you. Feel free to contact me at asher@asherheimermann.com Asher Heimermann 20:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, with an attitude like that, why should I bother? older ≠ wiser 20:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

(vandalism spree)

I dont know if you could help me. You would know me user:knowpedia. I have contributed to wikipedia for about 6 months. I enjoy making edits and creating new articles. I recently ran into a group of wikipedians who had it out for me. I AFD a controversial article. From that, a campaign against me began. All involved began reporting that I used vandal proof once (my first time using it), in a manner that disruptive to wikipedia.

They blocked me from editing on wikipedia. The reason stated was vandalism only account. Thats why I came to you. You have come across me in the past. Many of my edits also had been edited by you. I do not deny the vandalism; however it was to user pages who had been using there user pages as way to have some fun at my expense. I did not vandalise wikipedia articles. I would like to be able to use my user:knowpedia account and not create a new one. Please help if you can. Thanks --71.10.138.47 07:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
