Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for rollback/Draft poll

I don't edit war, so it's up to you whether you revert yourself. If you think your actions will actually cause less wikidrama then feel free to leave the page closed. If you think it's likely to increase it, I'd suggest you re-open it. I'd also suggest that closing valid discussion out of the blue in line with your own opinion appears to me somewhat disruptive and also violated good faith somewhat. Still, all the best, Hiding T 20:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm preparing a response, please stand by. Nakon 20:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

There's no need. I've said my piece, it'll work itself out one way or the other. Take care, Hiding T 21:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it was just a simply mistake, but what you closed was not a poll. So if you closed the discussion because it supposedly was 'yet another poll', you might want to think about undoing your action. --Conti|✉ 21:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Over bureaucratization of WP:RFR

Hi. I saw you denied User:Sirex98 for not using the right template. With respect, this seems like unnecessary bureaucracy. It just isn't needed. It's obvious he wants rollback. Barring any revelations, you should have just given it to him without forcing him to jump through another hoop. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

For the record, Nakon did grant rollback to Sirex98. Acalamari 22:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove my edits to the MIL-STD-1553 page?

Who are you and why did you remove my edits from the 1553 page? I replaced a link that was removed by an anonymous user and you immediatly removed by changes. Please explain yourself.

Adult-child sex

You might as well lock the page again. The first thing that happened was somebody rewrote large sections inserting POV, without any discussion on the talk page, followed by 3 reverts. <sigh> I find it rather frustrating when people aren't willing to admit that they might have some POV problems. Pairadox (talk) 06:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I will be watching the page closely. If I detect that it is getting out of hand, a few people are going to take some time off from this site. I really don't like locking page for extended periods of time but if I have to, so be it. Nakon 06:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you recommend that we proceed? Considering that the users insisting on the new intro and definition are not addressing the concerns expressed by others? If there's no response to legitimate comments and reverting is no longer allowed, how are we supposed to bring this article back up to shape? ~ Homologeo (talk) 06:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Is there any way to get it back to the form it was in when it was unlocked, before the unilateral changes made without discussion or consensus? I feel really strongly that any changes after the unlock need to be discussed and agreed upon. Otherwise SqueakBox "wins" just for being the first to make changes. Pairadox (talk) 06:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

In response to User:Homologeo, perhaps you could try Misplaced Pages:Neutrality Project. That wikiproject may be able to help rewrite the intro into something neutral. In response to User:Pairadox, I'll compare the differences and see if it needs to be reverted. Nakon 06:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Whatever your decision, thank you for giving it consideration. Pairadox (talk) 07:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Much like the story of Br'er Rabbit and the tar baby, since you touched the article, I thought I'd ask you to evaluate the recent move of the article to adult-older teen sex. I've been through the talk page and I don't see a consensus for the move. Would I be out of line to move it back pending the development of a consensus to move? Would you be willing to look at the situation and make an objective determination, something I (an involved party) am not in a position to do? Thanks, SSBohio 04:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, please step in if you can. I thought everyone involved understood that big controversial edits such as this should not be carried out without gaining consensus first and giving all (or most) involved editors a chance to respond. Neither of these conditions have been met, yet the page move was carried out. I would move the article back myself to its original title but it seems the page is currently move protected. Your assistance or, at least, input would be greatly appreciated. ~ Homologeo (talk) 13:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know there's been a bit of fighting and stuff going on there, including a non-consensus move to the blatantly silly "Adult-older teen sex". I have after carefully reviewing, reverted the entire thing back to the last time you looked at it as I don't think consensus points in any direction atm. I'm a bit concerned that a fellow admin seems to have instigated the move, hence voiding the entire point of sysop-protecting to begin with. I was hitherto uninvolved with the article but saw the stuff on AN/I. If you disagree with anything I've done on this matter, I trust your judgement on this one. Orderinchaos 16:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

As far as I'm concerned, you've lost a lot of credibility for announcing and posting a revert ban on the article and then totally failing to follow up on it. Pairadox (talk) 01:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

(Is that addressed to me or Nakon?) Orderinchaos 16:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, that was addressed to Nakon. As far as I could see, Order, you tried to do your best and got tarred and feathered by SqueakBox. Pairadox (talk) 21:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

A little mistake?

Hiyas Nakon!

I noted these three lines in the AIAV history:

1. (cur) (last) 19:15, 16 January 2008 HBC AIV helperbot3 (Talk | contribs) m (1,190 bytes) (Empty. rm 24.248.36.14 (blocked 3 hours by Nakon (AO ACB)).) (undo)

I was wondering if this might have been a mistake; The first user recieves a 31 hour ban, yet the others only recieve a 3 hour one. Since this is pretty short, and considering that there are three in a row (And that 3 is an easy type of 31) i was wondering if this might be a little error. If not, sorry for the disturbance :) --Excirial 18:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I did intend for the blocks to be only three hours. Thanks for your concern. Nakon 18:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

User: 70.184.34.72

Hello! I noticed from the WP:AIV history that it says you blocked this user. I checked the page and there doesn't appear to be a block on the talk page or in the block log. just thought you'd want to know. Misplaced Pages was out for about an hour for me and some of my edits didn't get through either. joshschr (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

+rollbacker problems

About the +rollbacker, the two reversions i made to the Milan Matulovi and Adult-older teen sex talk pages were both unintentional, the Milan Matulovi reversion was because it click the wrong rollback link and he Adult-older teen sex reversion was because it contained the word 'nigger'. I have realised that i should have not used the tools to revert comments on talk pages. I hope this has clarified what happened, i would be really grateful if you would re-instate my +rollbacker rights, i will pay more attention to the page title and toggle the details to see what it fully says. Thanks.  Sunderland06  16:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll re-add the +rollbacker to your account. Please be more careful in the future. Nakon 23:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks very much, i'll remember to look at the details when i rollback and i will keep well away from talk pages.  Sunderland06  10:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

User:72.148.144.40

Isn't one month a little long for a first time block of an IP as in User:72.148.144.40? A fair portion of this user's edits seem plausibly good faith. Admittedly not very high quality -- they seem to have a problem with edit summaries and citing sources. The particular issue that got them reported looks like a content dispute (in which I believe the IP is wrong -- but not so obviously so that it couldn't be a mistake made in good faith). Perhaps a more targeted warning (regarding WP:V) and a shorter block would be in order? -- Why Not A Duck 01:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll reduce the block and leave a message about how to discuss their changes. Nakon 01:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

CelebHeights

Hey! Why the fuck did you delete this article?! There wasn't a discussion of this article being deleted too. CelebHeights has to be notable like MySpace, YouTube and so on! Pls restore this article. D@rk 12:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'd advise you read the civility policy before leaving any more messages. The article was deleted as it is about a non-notable website and thus speedily deletable per CSD A7. Nakon 12:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes but I don't see the reason why this article isn't notable. It's famous just like YouTube and so on. Many of celebrities are shown there. You can also visit CelebHeights and you will see the relevance. And why are my created articles always deleted? D@rk 12:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Please don't take this question as sarcastic or the like, but how are we supposed to verify the story regarding User:Rudget if the name is blocked? Whoever left the message on his talk page said (allegedly his mother) they would update there, but there's no reason to believe she knows how to use the tools to unblock him and do so. - Revolving Bugbear 16:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 21:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Any advice?

Hi. I see that you've blocked the editor from Rod (cryptozoology) that had made threats of legal action against me. Thanks for stepping in, though I have a question or two. He stated, even before the block was up, that he would use anon IP editing to circumvent any block. If there appear to be such edits, what should I do about them? Report them here to you? Ask for semi-protection? Not knowing what the fallout might be, I'd like to know if there's anything I should know before something unpleasant happens. Thanks, Dyanega (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've placed the article on my watchlist. I'll keep an eye on it and if he starts disrupting it, I'll step in and sprotect it. Nakon 23:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I hate to ask (I'm sure you've got other stuff of greater concern) but could you take a look at the history, and tell me if I was off-base in removing his edits? It wasn't my intent to have him blocked without at least having an admin look things over first and maybe explain things to him - I don't know if it would help at this point or not, but I left a message on his talk page trying to point this all out. But when someone inserts text into an article that reads "ORIGINAL Explanation made by Jon Watkins a.k.a. "The Cyndicate", below" then, to me, that looks pretty cut-and-dry regarding WP:NOR (and the sort of revert-warring he initiated certainly often leads to a block). Maybe if someone else talked to him? Peace, Dyanega (talk) 23:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You said that if he started disrupting the article, you'd step in to sprotect it; he has now edited the page twice, using two different proxy IPs (68.108.187.173 and 70.43.99.50). The first proxy IP was used to directly re-insert his "original material" text that started this whole mess. The second proxy IP inserted material of a similar nature - not only in content, but likewise largely redundant (as pointed out by an independent editor, who removed the new text), and likewise unsourced, leaving little doubt that it's the same individual, insistent upon inserting his OR into the article. I'd like to think that if someone could convince him to actually READ the WP:NOR policy, he would understand why his edits are being reverted, but the question at this point is whether he is even willing to acknowledge that WP policies apply to him. I leave it to your discretion as to how to proceed, but the point is that he does appear intent on continuing to edit the article, as he promised, using proxy IPs to circumvent the account block. Dyanega (talk) 00:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I've semiprotected the article. Nakon 01:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Eve Hollow Page

Hey, I was making a biographical page for a novelist named Eve Hollow. Now, I can understand that tehre were some mistakes, but I was going back to put on the final (somewhat final) updates when you deleted it. Okay, so to you, the guy doesn't exist. I'll bet to you, a lot of people don't. But I had plenty of reference notes that I found as proof that I had problems making. Other than that, I didn't see how I made a nonsensical or inappropriate article. Can you perhaps tell me what you found so wrong with it? Jadell-Leigh (talk) 21:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Please see our notability policy. The page was deleted as it did not show how the subject is notable. Nakon 21:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Uh, yeah, that's what I meant. Reference notes, right? I had plenty of that stuff, but SOMEONE deleted it before I could finish it. Jadell-Leigh (talk) 21:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

10tacle Studios Slovakia

Hi, I find your speedy deletion of this article rather unfortunate. You never gave a chance to prove that the subject is notable. Anyway, there already was an article linked from an independent source, the Slovak biggest online gaming portal, Sector, which wrote about the developing company. There are at least two other notable and important independent sources I can provide: a major Slovak gaming portal () and one of the major Slovak daily newspaper, Hospodárske noviny (). Also, the company is one of the two largest Slovak game developers, which adds to its notability.
Even if that is not enough for notability, the content was worth keeping until it's merged with the parent company.--Svetovid (talk) 12:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Outcomes Research Consortium

According to the Deletion Log this page was deleted, because there was no indication of the importance or significance of the Outcomes Research Consortium (ORC). I would like to appeal this decision and point out that the importance/significance of ORC is found in paragraphs 2 and 3 of the posting. These include a large international membership, its goal to facilitate scientific/medical exchange, collaboration, and research, coordination of a large number of clinical studies (100 or more) involving hundreds and, for some studies, thousands of patients, and results from some of its most notable studies which showed that easy, low cost interventions such as keeping patients warm and supplying supplemental oxygen dramatically improved surgical outcomes and furthermore changed clinical practice. Taken together this makes ORC one of the premier anesthesia research organizations in the world. Perhaps this posting can be edited to make the importance/significance of ORC more apparent. I hope you will reconsider the decision to delete this page and add Outcomes Research Consortium to Misplaced Pages. Thank you. Dsessler 16:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

This may help you and .--Svetovid (talk) 18:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Three more points are worth consideration about the notability of ORC: First, a Google search of “outcomes research” lists Outcomes Research Consortium number 3 of approximately 3,800,000 listings. Second, the ORC website (See: OR in the News)] lists approximately 50 news articles from 1999-2007 which detail the specialized views, expertise, and accomplishments of the consortium’s investigators. And, third, as an indication of the significance of the work done by ORC’s investigators, its published work was cited in peer-reviewed journals more than 800 times in 2006, and this number continues to increase annually. Collectively, all this seems to be a fair indication that ORC is important, significant, and notable. Indeed, ORC is “worthy of notice.” – Again, I request that you reconsider the decision to delete this page, or at least provide some guidance that would make this article suitable for Misplaced Pages. Thank you. Dsessler 20:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsessler (talk • contribs)

Unblock review

I took a look at the block you gave to The Norse and while I think that he's disruptive enough that he warrants a block, being a pain in the ass doesn't necessarily make him a vandal. I think that an indefinite block as a vandalism-only account is more than just a few shades too extreme for someone who does generally make good faith edits. You might want to look over his edit history and review your decision again. Trusilver 00:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I've reviewed the decision and find it is correct. The Norse has taken part in disruptive editing since he's been here - he's harassed several editors and has been warned many times previous. That final personal attack was the last straw. Ryan Postlethwaite 00:05, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

There is, however, a problem with the block in that the message left says it's temporary and he can edit again once it expires. Which, looking at his block log, is clearly not true. - Revolving Bugbear 00:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

That is true, he is blocked indef - to avoid confusion, he the block message could possibly be changed to "disruption". Ryan Postlethwaite 00:22, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Block review

Hello, there's a block review pending at User talk:Reliefappearance. At first sight I really can't see anything there that would warrant such a hefty block (indef, no less!). He wasn't vandalising as far as I can see. Only some minor revert-warring and poor use of edit summaries (seems it turned out he was right about the content after all), and several of his reverts on that article were actually removal of vandalism or blatantly unsourced claims. Am I missing something? Fut.Perf. ☼ 00:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the block. Nakon 00:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sami Hashmi

Hi, I don't disagree with your decision on the retention of this article. Bearcat's comments in the AfD prompted a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Local_government. The consensus reached is that London local councillors, with no other claims, are not notable; this matches the precedents that I have experienced and WP:BIO. I've read WP:DELREV, but that only refers to a disagreement with the admin's decision. I would like to relist, but don't want to seem disruptive by repeatedly relisting. Could you offer me some advice? BlinkingBlimey (talk) 11:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

HI, That consensus information should have been included in the AFD before its close. If you disagree with the close, please see WP:DRV. Nakon 14:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. WP:DELREV/WP:DRV only seem to apply when I disagree with the decision. I cannot, reasonably, disagree with the decision, so will just relist mentioning the WP:OUTCOMES decision. BlinkingBlimey (talk) 20:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: deletion of Centre for Policy on Ageing

There may be a misunderstanding. CPA is not a company - it is a not-for-profit charity and supplies information and writes reports that are of benefit to policy makers in the field of ageing and older age. As such it is the same as Age Concern, Help the Aged and the National Pensioners Convention (with whom we share premises), all of which have entries under the category Charities for the Elderly. This is the first article I have submitted so it may be that I not laid out the information in acceptable form. NatLievesley (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Largely due to this edit summary: . Such threats, in my opinion, are not to be taken lightly. Feel free to shorten it if you feel I over stepped my bounds in extending your block, or in starting a discussion at WP:ANI. Thanks... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 17:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Ruth Fowler deletion

Why did you close Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ruth Fowler (Writer) as a delete? After I rewrote the article at the request of the nominator, only one other person commented. This surely can't be enough consensus for a delete (especially without any comment from the closer)? I was expecting it to get relisted to generate more discussion, at least. — brighterorange (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Per the discussion that followed the rewrite, I didn't find that the article sufficiently showed how the subject was notable. Nakon 19:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

But isn't the purpose of the closing administrator to interpret the consensus reached, not to make a decision himself? At that point there were only two disagreeing parties, which can't be enough to establish consensus. Do you have any problem with me relisting the article? — brighterorange (talk) 19:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to relist it, I don't have a problem with that. Nakon 19:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'll note your comment there. — brighterorange (talk) 19:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Kathleen Hughes deletion

Having reviewed the the notability guidelines, i was probably wrong in creating this article and you were right to delete it. However, i have to object to the fact that you deleted when there were a total of three responses to the nomination, one delete, one neutral leaning towards keep, and one weak keep. That does not strike me as a consensus by any means. --Samael775 (talk) 01:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I've only just reviewed this AfD, and I'd agree with the article creator that it seems not to have gained consensus. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for following up on that rangeblock. The stuff the guy was adding in Czech was really quite nasty. Are you experienced with rangeblocks? There have been a few times I've thought a rangeblock might be appropriate, but I don't have sufficient understanding of the process to do it. It would be nice to know who to consult.--Kubigula (talk) 04:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I've placed rangeblocks before. The hardest part is finding the exact range to block from an address. I'd be glad to review any future rangeblocks that may need to be placed. Nakon 04:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Cheers. Fortunately it doesn't come up often, but it's good to have someone to talk to rather than me accidentally blocking a few million people.--Kubigula (talk) 04:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Why delete LogiCity?

Could you explain why you deleted the LogiCity article? It has as much right as the other global warming games to have it's own article. The some other games listed (V GAS & Keep it Cool, esp) don't seem as popular or have high notability as LogiCity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darrenackers (talk • contribs) 10:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Of My Article!!

I have recently found that you have deleted by article on the game 'Garden Gnome Carnage' citing that 'the web-site does not assert significance' but I fail to agree; YoYo Games is a very fast-growing game development site with over 11,000 games and countless hundreds if not thousands of members. It was recently entered for the Open Web Awards Finals and came pretty high. I'm sorry, but just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it isn't enjoyed by numerous people and 'significant' as a website. How much more significant does it need to be exactly? Does it require millions of views every second? Sorry but to be quite frank I think you're taking the mick here.

Wargames Research Group

I notice that you deleted this article recently after a fairly marginal AFD with one keep, one delete and one weak delete. The thing is that WRG were THE major publishers of wargames rules during the 70s and 80s, as big and as popular as Games Workshop or Wizards of the Coast were later - facts I would have added to the AFD if I had seen it. If you have no objection I would like to undelete this article. DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Go for it. Nakon 18:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Would you mind having a word with User:Trialsanderrors. He seems to have got fixated on the proper procedures and objected to my undeletion. He isn't listening to me, but another voice might make him see reason. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Nakon, have you considered re-creating your old name to avoid it be re-created by someone else? Acalamari 20:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Optionstar

Hello Sir,

Please kindly reconsider undeleting optionstar as it definitely is important and significant to the derivatives trading community. Optionstar is referenced by several high volume trading magazines which have been in publication for over 20 years. These publications have a much larger existing user base which make it well known in the financial derivatives markets.

When you do a google search on optionstar there are close to 3,000 results: Results 1 - 10 of about 2,860 for optionstar. (0.16 seconds)

I am also the key reference in the wikipedia option arbitrage article http://en.wikipedia.org/Option_arbitrage

Deletion of external link to Hempsteadcommunitypage.com

The Hempstead Community Page is a free resource directory for the Village of Hempstead anyone can use it to add their business profile to the directory list. I feel that the Village of Hempstead and the chamber of commerce is doing a poor job of promoting the small business in this community. The site is sponsored by a few of the local business in the Village and it is free for anyone in this community to use. I would ask that you would reconsider this addition by simply taking a look at the site for yourself.

Royal Shakespeare Company performance database

I'm amazed at how quickly & thoroughly you reverted a bunch of my edits just now. Quite impressive.

After reading the relevant Wikpedia guideline, I'd like to suggest that this database somehow be included or adapted to be an "acceptable" source of information for Misplaced Pages as it contains important historic biographical information about some significant artists that currently isn't available anywhere else. I don't see it as being any different, less relevant, or more commercial than the Internet Broadway Database. --Dizzy hiss (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Teacher entry

Well, I suppose as a practicing teacher and researcher I'm not qualified to remove any of the ridiculous drivel floating around in the entry I revised. See my comments in the talk section of the entry, and block me if you so choose, but those sections have to be removed, as they in no way pertain to the entry at hand and present a ludicrously biased and misguided view. But, this *is* Misplaced Pages, afterall. A hotbed of plagiarized and misinformed material (I've caught it and reported it many times to no avail). This is yet another reason why I won't allow my own students to use this site. Ever. Peer-reviewing means something is reviewed by a group of people who are experts on a topic, not Joe Schmoe who has an opinion to put forth.

Misplaced Pages:PROMINENCE reversion

I agree with your reversion of the above redirect when an IP user changed it to a proposed policy and added text, but your comment that WP:namespace is for redir only - didn't make sense, this sounded like you were saying that WP:Project namespace is only for redirects, which I doubt was your intent.

Blocked account

Hello Nakon! There just occurred a little misunderstanding, which was entirely my fault: You blocked SebastianHelm who wants to be Sebastian (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), which was an account I created for WP:USURP#Sebastian_.E2.86.90_User:SebastianHelm_who_wants_to_be_Sebastian. I should have known better; I could either have used a name that refers to the usurpation page or write a note on the new user page. Either way, don't worry about it; I'm just writing to you to let you know that I'm unblocking it for now so that the 'crats are free to proceed in which way they deem appropriate. — Sebastian 15:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
