== Task force climate change ==
Hi {{u|Tony Sidaway}}, Apologies for the interruption. I thought that this {{tq|I deliberately stepped back a few months ago to give new editors a chance}} ] was worthy of recognition. I think it's the kind of attitude that Misplaced Pages could use more of; on all sides of all disputes. - ] <sup>]</sup> 12:28, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


Hello Tony Sidaway,
: It's my long established practice. In my view the Gamergate fuss bears certain parallels to the "global warming hoax" nonsense that immediately followed the theft of emails from CRU in East Anglia. So you will not be surprised to hear that I first consciously exercised this disengagement strategy after a brief period of intensive involvement at the article on that topic. Others who failed to disengage didn't have a very happy time, irrespective of their stance on the issues. --] 18:05, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


You are currently noted as a participant of the ]. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral.
== Fair enough ==


I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

== A Grand Statement ==


== How to control global warming listed at ] ==
"An encyclopaedia is not amoral. It either supports evil through complacency or it embodies an overall force for good by refusing to flinch from the delineation of all, both evil and good. When we flinch and turn a blind eye to violent attempts to subvert our great work, then we face the true test.” -- Tony Sidaway

Hi, FYI the climate change task force is now a stand-alone project (]). You were once listed as active at the task force but from your contribs it appears you are in (semi?) wiki retirement.

== Hope you're doing well, whatever you're up to ==
There is now a concrete proposal on ] re article scope. It is in line with the sentiments of several editors in the (rather confusing) discussion earlier on that same Talk page, but the earlier discussion had both a different proposed change as well as comments that led well beyond discussion of just the scope of this single article.

:If I could find it, I'd send you lyrics to a song where the singer, in first person, places a cell call to someone else, asking if the other party received his email. The conversation goes live into the mens room when the singer walks in on an occupied stall. He wants to talk about techno weenie who piled it all up on a sheet of plywood, doused it with crisco, set it afire, and disappeared into the Rockies leaving only an address at the corner store.

: Arbitration enforcement is unpopular, and those undertaking it face difficulties even when their judgement is sound. There is also a public perception that some valuable editors are treated harshly. The end result is that arbitration enforcement often causes fresh problems which may occasionally be worse than the problems the remedies were meant to fix.

Task force climate change

Hello Tony Sidaway,

You are currently noted as a participant of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral.

I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

Re: Time I stopped being a curmudgeon about signs of appreciation's barnstar

You did THAT to the Gamergate article—in 2015?!?!!! That is one well deserved barnstar, lemme tell you! The nostalgia! My best friend and I were following The Jimquisition, Unskippable, Zero Punctuation and other then-The Escapist fare of the time, several days a week, so we saw that blow up real-time! Dude, I mean...dude. Dang.

...

Thank you for all your hard work, there and elsewhere! Thank you very much! —Geekdiva (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I worked hard on several controversial articles for a long time, and I think my work was appreciated. Global warming is one, Gamergate controversy is another, and there were many others. TS 22:23, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

How to control global warming listed at Redirects for discussion

Moving to inactive

Hi, FYI the climate change task force is now a stand-alone project (WP:WikiProject Climate change). You were once listed as active at the task force but from your contribs it appears you are in (semi?) wiki retirement. I've therefore taken liberty to move your name to the inactive list, but feel free to rejoin us any time! NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 20:40, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Hope you're doing well, whatever you're up to

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm largely disengaging from all social forums, as indicated here . There's still time for me to reconnect with my solipsistic side, I hope. Only by shutting out all you zombies can I have any peace, which for some reason seems to involve lots of microcontroller stuff and obscure programming languages. --TS 13:38, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

If I could find it, I'd send you lyrics to a song where the singer, in first person, places a cell call to someone else, asking if the other party received his email. The conversation goes live into the mens room when the singer walks in on an occupied stall. He wants to talk about techno weenie who piled it all up on a sheet of plywood, doused it with crisco, set it afire, and disappeared into the Rockies leaving only an address at the corner store. But the ironic refrain claims the speaker isn't a victim of the techno world "oops, didn't know the stall was occ-uuuuu-piiiiied....." Good for you, and if you can stand a bit of zombi speak, I have just what the doctor ordered NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:28, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I've returned to the coastline between the rivers Tyne and Wear, which I choose to call Mesopotamia for obvious reasons. Nature is very much evident here, where I grew up. I get out onto the coastal walks whenever I can. --TS 19:05, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Awesome! I just returned from a forest school outting (classic version) with multiple families. The kiddos turned up many species of mushrooms, saprophytic vascular plants, a tree frog, multiple salamanders, various aquatic creepie crawlies which in our area indicate a stream has high water quality. This made me quite happy since not that long ago that stream had problems. Enjoy your anti digital reawakening! I haven't managed to pull the plug yet, obviously.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Triassic turtles

A tag has been placed on Category:Triassic turtles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Liz 17:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Username Eligible

My username is suitable for Misplaced Pages editing? User:WeTalkWiki 14:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. I see no problem with your username, though I'm hardly up to date with current practice on Misplaced Pages. If you find the username being challenged, and this makes it difficult to improve Misplaced Pages, I believe you can ask for it to be changed. I'm sure you realise that the purpose of the wiki is to produce a great encyclopedia, it isn't for experiments in what constitutes a valid identifier. --TS 22:43, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of locations in Pirates of the Caribbean

Notice

The article List of locations in Pirates of the Caribbean has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:LISTN. It's all WP:PLOT information aside from trivial filming location details. It is in no way a justified spin-out.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:SuperOffice Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:SuperOffice Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 04:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gradient Analytics

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gradient Analytics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – S.
