Okay quit acting so immature StewieGriffin!. This is why we younger editors get critised.

Radio Misplaced Pages

Okay I know what your doing. Where are you hiding the new episodes? Gears of War 2 23:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry... hiding episodes? Yes i do not like the iTunes idea but i have been away from Misplaced Pages for a short period. At the moment Radio Misplaced Pages has been put as historical, since it has become inactive. Many issues by Red Thunder have been removed for copyright violations. Since the project has become inactive without my help, i'll return to it today for a new episode. OK? StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 10:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if I offended you. Just wanted to know what was going on. It was more of a joke rather than trying to make you mad. Cheers. Gears of War 2 16:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
No It's Fine. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 19:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way to obtain the issue of Webuser in the United States that contained the Radio Misplaced Pages mentioning? RedThunder 11:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Ok. I'll try. RedThunder 12:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
It is only a paragraph. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I would like to clarify that I also had to delete one episode produced by you as well stewie. Please make sure you clarify this when telling other users about what happened. Its unfair for you to place it all on redthunders shoulders. Seddσn 19:05, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes, using RedThunder's trust! I trusted him into making these public domain. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 19:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Just because i've reverted yours...

A friendly warning

Stewie, I've been taking a great deal of interest in WP:RADWP and the goings-on at WT:RADWP. I am concerned that you feel that you have some special status within that project because you created the page. Alas, this is not so - yet you are acting like you are in charge, dictating rules, removing contributors without so much as a word of discussion, etc. Misplaced Pages is a collaborative effort: just as we cannot individually own articles, we can't have hierarchical groupings where people "own" projects either. For an example of why this doesn't work here, go and have a look at the wreckage that was WP:ESPERANZA, a similarly hierarchical group who appointed members, etc. My point is not that anyone should be allowed to upload anything, but that you should come to agreements via WP:CONSENSUS. Don't try to dictate alone what rules are applied, and where. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 09:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you explain to me why? Reporters have agreed I am the founder and head reporter. No, this doesn't give me special status. However, sound is much harder to edit than text. Instead of "editing" clips, any user can contribute to them. But still they can't put them seleves in charge of the project. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 11:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
It's partly that sort of language that I mean - "in charge£. It's fine to be the one who has volunteered to do the editing together of clips. It's another to give yourself the special status of a title like "Founder". It's another thing altogether to take that extra step and starting to kick contributors off "your" project without discussing it first - that's not consensus building: that's verging on treating it like your own personal playground. All I'm saying is try to do more consensus-building rather than dictating activity Fritzpoll (talk) 11:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Founder only means the one who makes. I founded the project. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Yet does that mean you can do whatever you want with the project? Shapiros10 My work 12:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Shapiros has echoed my sentiments on this one. It is alright to say "I am the founder of Radio Misplaced Pages", but you seem to have made this a title and conferred powers upon yourself as a result. All I'm saying is that these powers do not exist and you have no more right to make rules at Radio Misplaced Pages than I do. Fritzpoll (talk) 12:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Re

Eh, don't think so. I might have ideas, though. Shapiros10 My work 12:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Casual reporter. But I might be more active at WikiUpdate, Shapiros10 My work 12:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

News
Feature: Reliable Sources

A common issue with writing video games articles is that it's often natural for editors to turn to the internet for all their information. However, using only online sources can be problematic, especially if editors are not familiar with Misplaced Pages's sources guidelines. First off, for every notable, reliable web site about gaming that exists on the web, there are twenty-five fan sites or personal blogs. As per Misplaced Pages's, content guideline about reliable sources, a proper source that should be used in an article must meet the following criteria:

  • Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

How do you determine if website X meets the criteria? Look around for information on who owns the website or if the website has a staff and established editorial processes; if the site doesn't have information posted online, send an email to the webmaster or editor. It can be hard to definitely prove the a website has a "reputation" for accuracy. Thus, it's probably easier to go with established sites to begin with, such as IGN or GameSpot. If you use a source with borderline qualifications, be prepared to justify the site at content review or to other editors. WikiProject Video Games has a partially-complete listing of vetted sources in print or online at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games/Sources, as well as more detailed information on what constitutes a reliable source.

To find sources on the internet, checking Google News as well as simple web searches can help spot references you might have missed. Often, however, older news articles are locked behind pay gates or subscription services. A workaround is using a service like ProQuest or LexisNexis, although unless you have access to these through a college or education institution it will likely cost you money regardless. Libraries can have old newspapers and copies of magazines; to assist in finding print sources online, WikiProject Video Games has a Magazines Department where you can contact users to get copies of certain reviews, previews, or features from old magazines. If you have gaming magazines of your own, add yourself to the list!

Stewiegriffin92j (talk · contribs). Hi Stewie, do you know what's up with this account? Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 23:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

As you can see, excluding me, there are 14 StewieGriffin accounts. I have no idea what's up with this account. Why? StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 10:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
And to be honest, if users are trying to accuse me of sockpuppetry, I don't do bios. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 10:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Nobody's accusing you of sockpuppetry. Seriously. I didn't know your username was based on the Family Guy character until I looked at the other StewieGriffin names—I don't watch television, I thought you invented the name. I thought it could be somebody spoofing your username, messing with you. If a new account, User:Darkspots92j, popped up and started making edits, I'd really want to know about it. You might want to put something on your userpage for out-of-it types like me, but maybe I'm the statistical outlier here. Hope that didn't bother you too much. Darkspots (talk) 11:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
No, I hope I didn't seem nasty. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

please remove my name from the list. Your antics aren't amusing. Shapiros10 My work 00:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiUpdate

Please dont mess around with the page, however GF your edit was. WikiUpdate is something anyone can contribute to, but we meant audio recordings, not the page. Ironholds 10:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

There's no need to act like a baby and leave me a standardised warning message to show off. I'm not saying you can't, but think of it like a userpage. You're perfectly allowed to edit someones userpage but it's normally polite to leave them a little note asking to do so or telling them you've done so. Ironholds 10:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Come on, one word. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
See my suggestion below. Ironholds 12:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion

Rather than nominating each other for deletion or posting silly changes to spite each other, can the users working at WikiUpdate and Radio Misplaced Pages simply agree to stay away from each other in terms of discussing it? If this escalates to an AN/I report or similar then everyone looks bad. I'm not interested in petty games and arguing, i'm here to edit the encyclopedia and make some podcasts on the way, and I'm sure you are too, so if we can't get on can we at least set up some kind of invisible DMZ? Ironholds 11:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

This will seem nasty, but can't you lot shut up and work! We're here to build the project not go on about podcasts. I reckon WikiUpdate is bascially a copy of Radio Misplaced Pages and that is my view. StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen 12:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
And you're entitled to that view, but if you're so interested in working then don't disrupt the system just to try and cause trouble for us. I've asked you nicely to stop disrupting our running because you don't like how it's going, but if you're so interested in "building the project" then stop interfering like a five year old. I'd also like to point out the double standard of the houst of Radio Misplaced Pages accusing us of "going on about podcasts". Ironholds 12:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

End this now. Stop it. It's not helping anyone. That's to both parties. Leave each other alone please. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry but not so. We have already ended this. Were over it, but StewieGriffin!, he keeps dragging it out. Gears of War 2 13:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Everyone just don't respond then. He's entitled to his opinion, we're entitled to disagree with it, but this doesn't need to turn into a big deal. If we can't all get along lets simply avoid each other rather than this turning into a He said/She said situation. Ironholds 13:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
