Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:02, 23 February 2008

An apology

To start I must say that I am sorry if I offended you in any way before. Also the Caps lock thing was once. I do not normally address people on talk pages LIKE THIS. Also I saw that you mentioned on my editor review that I do not assume good faith. Can you show me one time that I have not done this? Also improving wikipedia is what I am here for. As you can see I have a considerable amount of edits. I have never vandalised wikipedia. Why would you say that I need to put improving Misplaced Pages first. Again I appologize for any way I have offended you. Thank you for your time. DBZROCKS 14:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

In all fairness, I have seen you type in caps with other people, but I appreciate your apology. I just got the feeling that some of your edits were a little too blunt, and weren't as helpful as they could have been. Just my opinion. You do a good job of getting rid of fandom, and nonsensical statements though. You might want to take a look at the article, Super Saiyan. Quite a bit of it isn't quite encyclopedic, and needs clean up. For example, "Broly's final form is very similar to an Ultra Super Saiyan, but with several notable differences. His size, muscle mass, strength, and speed are far beyond that of any regular Super Saiyan to the point of being ridiculous." That last part just doesn't sound encyclopedic.

Seung-Hui Cho

Hello. I've removed Image:Oldboy hammer.jpg from Seung-Hui Cho. The image was uploaded as a fair-use image, however inclusion in Seung-Hui Cho doesn't qualify as fair use. WODUP 23:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

My mistake. WODUP 08:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Comparisons to Oldboy

The comparison is legitimate, and I have cleared editing conflicts with other editors. Please read the following citation, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18207904/site/newsweek/?from=rss

Thanks. Malamockq 15:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I've thought it over and I think it's alright, but just barely hanging on by a thin thread of relevance. As it is phrased in the wikipedia article all it says is that the photos look similar, and seeing as it is in the "Contents" section I suppose this is fine. I just hope that it stays a simple, "Oh look, the pictures look similar" and doesn't turn into a Columbine-style, "The rock music made them kill people" kind of deal. -- itistoday (Talk) 15:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Your revert to King cold

King cold was redirected to list of aliens in dragonball because of his relitive unimportance in dragon ball. If you wish to revive redirects dig it up on the wikiproject dragon ball talk page. DBZROCKS 00:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of comments

Sorry to bother you again but I thought it was worthwhile to tell you that I reverted your edit to the dragon Ball wikiproject talk page. You deleted 3 comments under the grounds that they were trollish. I have looked them (the comments) over and found nothing of the sort. DBZROCKS 21:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

You can't go around deleting peoples comments just because you don't like them. No is not trolling. the third comment may not of been exactally apropriate but it doesn't give you a right to delete it. Unless Dark Dragon Flame specifically attacks you than you can't delete it. DBZROCKS 21:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

My sugestion

I did not say go to the wikiproject Dragon Ball talk page to further the discussion I ment to go there if you wanted to talk about any other redirects that you think are unfair in the future. DBZROCKS 22:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

? What? DBZROCKS 22:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mario128.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mario128.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Deinonychus

Hey Malamockq!

It appears you have put in 22 edits on Misplaced Pages's article on Deinonychus. This article is a current Featured Article Candidate. If you could drop by the article's candidacy page and indicate how you think the article might be improved, and how it could better meet the Featured Article requirements, it would be greatly appreciated. Your input on this important dinosaur is important. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 02:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:LW3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LW3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell 14:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Page move

Hello. You were brave to "move" the Cricket article, but if it is to be moved it must actually be "moved" to preserve the article's history. Please don't just copy the content to another page. --RobertG ♬ talk 16:46, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm neutral on the merits of the move. I expect you didn't mean "afd", but "rm"! This would definitely be the right thing to do, but are you aware that it has been discussed before? Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 16:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

FYI, also here (I opposed there, but I'm not very sure I'd even enter the discussion now). --RobertG ♬ talk 17:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Please see WP:Disambiguation The basis for giving priority to popularity over meaning is contained in those guidelines. I strongly disagree with this approach but that is the current consensus. Pendragon39 03:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Assuming Good Faith

In regards to the post I posted here that you have now removed, you say that he removed the mvoe notice from the page. Please caerfully review the diff here to see he did not remove it from the page. The editor in questions moved it below the skip to TOC header. I apologize if I jumped the gun on your warning however find that before you call any editor a vandal you should check and double check the edit. If you have any questions about the edit or fail to see that he did not remove the move notice, please let me know. Thank you and happy editing. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. Malamockq 17:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Problems with an Admin

Hey, I noticed you took note of some wrong doing done by the admin, Friday a little while ago. She's harrassing me right now, and I was wondering if you knew any admins that might tell her to stop. I don't know any myself. If I'm wrong in this, feel free to tell me, but I don't believe I am. 64.236.121.129 15:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

left reply

I left you a reply on my talk page. Ariel. (talk) 15:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Conflict de-escalation

Please see . Please try to keep it cool as well. Typing all in caps is annoying, but it is not usually vandalism (though often a sign of it). Thanks. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 17:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

31 hour block for incivility

I see no point in reasoning with you, so I am blocking you in the hope that you work it out for yourself. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Why did you block me? When was I incivil? To William? I asked him not to talk down to me. I wasn't being rude. I was asking him not to be rude to me. You can't block me for that. To Asams? He was yelling at me, and I never spoke to him rudely. Malamockq (talk) 01:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh boy, I just checked your edit history. It's about Asams right? Two administrators reverted his comments, and commented on his talk page, which he already removed.

Please see, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk%3AAsams10&diff=192406488&oldid=192370037

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk%3AAsams10&diff=192343221&oldid=192332839

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk%3AAsams10&diff=192368894&oldid=192367784

Also check the edit history of the talk page for XM8. His comments were reverted by an administrator. He then undid them. I then reverted them. Malamockq (talk) 01:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Please consult with User:Stephan Schulz, who is an administrator which was involved in this incident, and ask him if it was fair to block me. Malamockq (talk) 01:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Also can you please cite an instance where I actually was being incivil? Asams10 was yelling at me in caps, and was using vulgar language. I never yelled at him, or used vulgar language when dealing with him. Malamockq (talk) 01:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Please see (notice his edit summaries, using vulgarities, and capslock), http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:XM8_rifle&diff=prev&oldid=193022803 http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Asams10&diff=prev&oldid=193022725 http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Malamockq&diff=prev&oldid=192331234 http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Asams10&diff=prev&oldid=192330859

The IP, 72.81.226.247 is a suspected IP sockpuppet he uses, which have made similar edits to amplify support in his favor. See, User talk:72.81.226.247 in particular the "Shouting" section in which the IP he was using was shouting at me.

The IP also did the following,

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=191327883&oldid=191322807 Which was identified as vandalism by user:BonesBrigade

Which he then reverted in this, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=191557434&oldid=191327883

Which was reverted by user:Alyeska http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=191707444&oldid=191557434

To which Asams responded rudely using caps with this http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=191754023&oldid=191707444

Which then, the IP, Asams is suspected of using as a sockpuppet, 72.81.226.247 made this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=192179017&oldid=191754023

You can see the whole entire mess at, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:XM8_rifle&action=history

Malamockq (talk) 01:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I have contacted Stephan Schultz, requesting that they review my actions and make comment if appropriate. LessHeard vanU (talk) 14:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Did you follow the links I posted? Many of Asams and his IP sockpuppet's edits were reverted by other users. He was making rude, shouting comments using vulgarities. Furthermore in regards to your comments on Stephan's talk page,

"I saw that Malamockq was making no effort to communicate with other editors,"

Incorrect. I have attempted communication with both Asams and other editors. Seen here I spoke directly to Asams asking him not to yell and be rude on talk pages,

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Asams10&diff=prev&oldid=192330421

Here with William M. Connolley, an admin, I asked him for advice or intervention

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:William_M._Connolley&diff=prev&oldid=192338656

And here with Stephan Schulz, we came to an understanding of how to handle the situation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Stephan_Schulz&diff=prev&oldid=192387903

Your next comment, "was re-inserting inappropriate questions on an article talkpage". I was asking a question to help improve the article. I was asking what was the current status of the XM8 and if it was being sold to other countries. Surely this would be an important piece of information to add to the article correct? User:Wikidemo Agreed that the question was useful, and could help improve the article, which can be seen here,

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AXM8_rifle&diff=193286214&oldid=193281235

Asams10 and his sock puppet IP, 72.81.226.247's, edits were vulgar, rude, and unhelpful. I strongly urge you to look into both of those user's edits and edit summaries which I have listed above, but you can also check their post histories. Malamockq (talk) 14:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with this block, and have said so on ANI. I'm going to give L a chance to speak before doing anything though William M. Connolley (talk) 18:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
