• Misplaced Pages is a volunteer curated encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing medium or a free web host. You are expected to be familiar with the goals of this project before you post here.
• Think. Use common sense. Read this before posting; failure to do so may result in your posts being ignored or mocked.
• If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to be read our conflict of interest and spam policies before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions.
• I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response.
• I do not consider unblock or undeletion requests sent via email. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Guide to appealing blocks to appeal your block. You may request undeletion here.
• Off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing must not be posted here. These, and complex cases of paid editing will not be acted upon. In both cases, please email paid-en-wp wikipedia dot org.

What do you mean it was a non-existing user's page? So you mean someone who use to have a user page, its name was User:Jordanrschroeder Contributions? Jordanrschroeder 13:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Zongshen 200 GS

Greetings Sir!

May I ask, why the articel Zongshen 200 GS is nominated for deletion? We understand that the article may sound like an advertisement, but many other bike models of other companies (i.e. Honda, Kawasaki, Aprillia, Benelli, etc.) are existing as articles in Misplaced Pages?

May we seek explanation, because many of us who wish and like the article to be here, feels like descriminated. Is it due to the fact that the motorcycle featured in the article is "Made in China", and no one recognizes products from China? And other bike models from well known companies are given more priority in Misplaced Pages, than those "Made in China".

We hope to have a common understanding regarding these, before you proceed with any deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.9.52.160 (talk • contribs)

My rationale for deletion is at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Zongshen 200 GS. Not because it is spam, but because it is non-notable and unverifiable. Not to mention an impersonator.

By the way - when you go fishing, do you catch all the fish? MER-C 05:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages != myspace

What exactly constitutes a zero tolerance approach? I'm guessing that one would need to inform an admin and have the user(s) blocked. I've found several users (notably User:Driski555 and User:E-abulous) who are using Misplaced Pages as a social networking site (presumably because it isn't blocked at their high school). The only edits they've made to actual articles have been vandalism (e.g. changing the first line of the article on evolution to read "evolution does not exist", adding their names to a list of famous people from Wisconsin, etc., etc.). I hate to waste time on Misplaced Pages chasing down users that are abusing the system, instead of making constuctive edits, but... if these people are allowed to continue using WP in such a way, it will show others that this sort of systematic abuse is tolerated. I've already warned them both, and one has even apologized to me. But they're still using WP as a sort of myspace (they even have links to myspace under a "Friends" section on their user pages). So, where should I go from here? Fuzzform 20:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

locateme tags

Hi. I've noticed you've been putting the {{locateme}} tag onto articles. I've been moving them to the articles' talk pages as, according to the Template:LocateMe page, they should be on the talk pages. Cheers, A bit iffy 10:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

OK. But I would still contest the prod, since I believe the article is worthy of further etymological expansion: which newspaper coined the spelling, the political climate in which it was first used, why it seems to stick to only certain mayors of certain big cities (for example, I remember it used extensively in NYC in the Koch and Giuliani years, but not very often for Bloomberg or Dinkins). Yeah, yeah, not a dictionary and all, but that last part seems beyond wiktionary and within the realm of wikipedia. You can tag it as needing expansion/context/sources, which I will try to find.
