2018 FIFA World Cup bid

I am looking for your immediate help in improving the 2018 FIFA World Cup bid article. I have no wish to engage in the sort of "edit war" that I was blocked for last week. I wish to bring to your attention however that after five hours of editing the page per the discussion on the talk page, User:Fronsdorf (talk) has again reverted my edits without explanation or comment on the talk page. I resented last week when you told me that my activities should be on the talk page, which is where I have been trying to reach out to users for two weeks now. I have directly contacted this user requesting that they explain their activities on the talk page, but without success.

I was intending on continuing my editing tonight, probably to standardize the references, and am wondering if reverting his edit, so as to continue this, is considered part of an edit war. Will I have to stop every few hours and wait for another user to restore my position before I can edit the article again? Can you help solve this situation?--Patrick Ѻ 22:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

His edit has been reverted by someone else and I agree with that. I'm hoping that it won't go into an edit war again and would advise you to avoid breaking 3RR, but one or two reverts won't be a problem given that consensus appears to be going your way. Since the reverting editor has very few edits I doubt you will get much response. Do please continue to improve the article - I think the direction you have been taking it in is working well. violet/riga (t) 23:00, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject Accessibility

turn into standard WikiProject format - hope the changes are ok...

Yes, it looks lovely! Thanks for being a voice of reason... we can be pretty crazy over there, typing messages willy nilly! Might you consider joining? Pay's not great but the benefits are nice... Big grin -- L'Aquatique 03:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Glad you like it. I'll try and help out when I can - good work so far. violet/riga (t) 08:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Great! L'Aquatique 20:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Page move

Yes, My move can be left undone. I intended to create a new page but due to other events that took place almost immediatly after the move I won't have the time for a while. Maybe in a month or so--Phoenix 15 (Talk) 19:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Question

Hi Violetriga. It's been a while since I last saw you and I wish you the best in recovering from that bike accident. It sounds nasty. I was wondering. Your userpage doesn't say, but since you wrote Bold Lane, I'm wondering. Do you live anywhere near Derbyshire? I'd love to see Eyam improved with a few more photos and info from local sources (for me sources are particularly hard to get), so if you ever are in the area, please consider making it a WP excursion. :) - Mgm| 11:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for the well-wishes - I'm almost fully recovered excepting several scars and a missing tooth! I used to live in Derbyshire but now live in Worcestershire, so I'm no longer that close to Eyam. I still go up there but I don't get much time for excursions nowadays, especially with the lead-up to Christmas. I'll see what I can do, though I can't promise anything. There used to be various "Wikipedians that live in..." categories/userboxes - that might be a possible avenue for finding someone. Cheers, violet/riga (t) 12:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:Three fried eggs.jpg

Would it be possible to reduce the size of this picture by at least 50-75%? Currently this picture is used as a tool of vandalism by the banned user Mmbabies to justify some sort of warped math in his mind for 'death threats' to celebrities (see his long term abuse page for more details), and he doesn't reduce the image at all, causing chaos to the pages he vandalises. I tried to reduce it myself but I was locked out from being able to. I apologize from even having to ask about this, but I don't want to see your picture deleted just because of vandalism from someone else. Thank you. Nate 02:21, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

My AfD closures

Thanks for removing the AfD templates for me. After a long stretch of creating articles, I had a momentary lapse of thought and kept assuming that the templates were removed automatically. Thanks again. NF24Editor review) 02:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

American films

I have created these lists entirely by myself from scratch and I also created the template. If it wasn't for me we wouldn't have these pages started or indeed any template at all. I'm happy with the template the way it is - it makes the decades stand out. Now what is the problem? Couldn't you help fill in the lists? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 10:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on Misplaced Pages, but I'm sure you are more than aware of how the wiki process works. violet/riga (t) 10:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I;ve reduced the size from what it is before. Can we agree on a medium? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 10:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look, but please remember that my edits were intended to improve accessibility (makes it harder to read if the text has no spacing around it, visual style (I believe the smaller version looks nicer), and the code used (there were no closing tags). violet/riga (t) 10:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Having taken a look I'm still convinced that my version is better, but I don't like edit warring. The obvious next step would be to get a third opinion. violet/riga (t) 10:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I've asked someone for another opinion. violet/riga (t) 11:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

MOSLINK change

Hi—your recent addition was: "Years should not be linked to articles, such as 2003 in music or 1985 in film, especially when part of a date." Do you mean that piped links to years shouldn't be used? Unclear. Tony (talk) 23:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not entirely clear is it. I'm meaning that we shouldn't link "2000" to 2000 in music as an Easter egg link (ie. "The album was released in 2000"). violet/riga (t) 23:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

We get the WP:POINT

Please, this has gone far enough. There is no need for you to do a weekly sweep of every music article to make sure that the word "sophomore" is never, ever used in this context on Misplaced Pages. Chubbles 00:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Why not? violet/riga (t) 11:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


Vandal message

"Stop being so stupid"? Violet, how could you ? Don't you know you're supposed to say "Welcome to Misplaced Pages, thank you for being so stupid"? :-P Bishonen | talk 12:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC).

I apologise for my lapse - I know that the anon didn't realise that replacing articles with "MY FREND IS GAAAY!!!11!" was wrong and I should have assumed good faith. violet/riga (t) 12:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Damn straight! WP:BITE! Bishonen | talk 12:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC).
Maybe the anon's friend really is gay. Next time, you should just request a citation.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 13:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps, though I must confess to being unaware of the link between friendship, homosexuality, and wrought iron. I should have left the edit for an expert to review. violet/riga (t) 13:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
