B movie FAR

B movie has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Houston

Please reread this when you get some time. There was one inaccuracy, which I noted, that will be corrected. KP Botany 19:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just wanted folks who voted against it to see if there was anything still outstanding that needed work, but others gave input on the talk page. KP Botany 19:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Wesley Clark

Hi Jayzel! Thanks for the heavy copyediting, I removed the cite needed tag as the quotes are cited to Citation #93 (right now), "To Find Party, General Marched to His Own Drummer". I cite it only once as I have then which are all cited to that article and the two sets of quotes immediately follow one another in the prose here. Hope you'll support the FAC now, thanks!

Al Gore talk page

I've asked Jiffypopmetaltop to stop editing your comments on the Al Gore talk page, and he has agreed. While understandable, please don't resort to the same level in response. Thanks, —Doug Bell  00:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocked for legal threat

Hi, I noticed you made a legal threat against another user on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Al Gore criticisms and misconceptions (diff). As stated in our policy called No Legal Threats, we ask that you refrain from editing Misplaced Pages while you consider legal action. I have blocked you indefinitely per this policy. If you retract the legal threat, you may be unblocked, but in the meantime, we are asking you not to edit while that threat is still active. Thank you. | Mr. Darcy talk 03:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I received your email. Please review the policy forbidding legal threats. If you retract the threat you made on that AfD, we can discuss unblocking you. Unfortunately, the policy states that users who make legal threats may be blocked indefinitely while the threats are still open. | Mr. Darcy talk 14:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Even though you're blocked, you can edit here on your own talk page. And that was not a "polite" complaint. It was a threat. Retract it and I'll unblock you. In the meantime, WP:NLT says you can't edit here. | Mr. Darcy talk 14:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You are the thought police now. I say it wasn't a threat, but because you feel it was a threat I can be permanently blocked. --Jayzel 15:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

If you feel my bringing other admins into the discussion is a threat, that is your issue. Good day, --Jayzel 14:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm referring to your threat on the AfD page. You can bring as many other admins into this as you'd like. BTW, do not edit my comments. You may respond as you wish, but leave my comments as is. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Fact remains I have said I have never made a legal threat and if anyone perceived it as a legal threat they are mistaken. In fact, the person who made the complaint that I made a legal threat has a long history of conducting a smear compaign against me:

Again, all you have to do is retract that legal threat and you can be unblocked. While the threat is open, you can't edit Misplaced Pages, per WP:NLT. | Mr. Darcy talk 16:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

And again, I am not retracting something I never did. This block is fraudulent and politically motivated. --Jayzel 16:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

No, it's neither. And you have no evidence of any political motivation, so I advise you to quit making that claim if you want to edit here. | Mr. Darcy talk 17:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete Wang Jun Picture

I propose deleting Wang Jun's image. The blurry picture policy (or general guideline) dictates that lowquality images are an aspect other editors cannot improve, and also harm Misplaced Pages's high standard academic image. PS. I suggested to Mr. Darcy for removal of your edit ban. LifeScience 07:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

I am looking for assistance regarding my permanant blocking for a false claim of legal action. All I did was politely remind someone not to post false information about myself (that lbel is not acceptable here at wikipedia) and political opponents of mine have gotten me blocked. I have repeatedly informed the blockee, that in no way whatsoever was I even suggesting I was taking any legal action whatsoever, yet the blockee refuses to accept my comments. I have a long and productive history here at Misplaced Pages. This block against me is politically motivated. Thanks --Jayzel 15:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The problem with the statement is that it could be read by some people as being a legal threat. I do not doubt that you wrote it with good intentions rather than a genuine desire to sue someone, but it can be read both ways. All you need to do is explicitly say "I retract the statement...." to clarify what you meant, and I'm sure Mr. Darcy will unblock you. --h2g2bob 17:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Political witch hunt

Do NOT blank comments on my page, Darcy. That is vandalism. This blocking is a political witch hunt. --Jayzel 16:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't really see how this is a political witch hunt or vandalism - Darcy removed some headers (diff), which looks to me like it's done in good faith. --h2g2bob 17:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Jayzel68, you need to retract the word "libel" in the above referenced comment on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Al Gore criticisms and misconceptions. Not only is that a mischaracterization of the comment from Derex, but as Mr. Darcy has correctly pointed out, the no legal threats policy forbids you from editing here if you make such threats. —Doug Bell  18:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
