Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. — Jimbo Wales

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper. — Robert Frost


And in the event that you're here with a personal attack: "Any time something is written against me, I not only share the sentiment but feel I could do the job far better myself. Perhaps I should advise would-be enemies to send me their grievances beforehand, with full assurance that they will receive my every aid and support."
Jorge Luis Borges

3RR violation of User:Antidote

User:Antidote has violated the 3RR on List of Ukrainians. I have posted the details on Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:Antidote yesterday, but there has been no response so far. Can you look into the matter? Thanks.--Pecher 09:22, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Paul or something

I hope humor and light-heartedness isn't wholly against WP policy :-). Or as my critics would say: humour and lite-heartedness. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 21:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Funny

The log says you unprotected the pages. Glitch? -Willmcw 00:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Wow, that's great. Much appreciated. It wouldn't be as bad if it were accurate... -Willmcw 00:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
FYI, the username is already blocked, but since its his user page he can still edit it. -Willmcw 00:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Ah, you need to choose "block all" from the list of choices on the new screen. -Willmcw 00:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that username should be blocked indefinitely as an abusive sock of user:Jonah Ayers. Unless administrative steps can be taken to stop this editor, it'll have to go to the ArbCom. -Willmcw 00:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Cheers!

I just want to say thanks for your edits to List of British people of Jewish descent, in particular for pushing for credible sources, and for seeking to clarify the criteria for inclusion (even if I have disagreed with you on some issues). Have a happy Christmas and/or Chanukah! RMoloney (talk) 02:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

User:RefBot

Hi, SEWilco created a new bot User:RefBot and is using it . My question: is this a ploy to bypass the recently closed arbcom decision which specifically states that he is not to do this? I ask because I'm uncertain of the implications here. Vsmith 02:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Something Zordrac is right about

Given how cantankerous he's been, I can certainly see an appeal for "revert on sight". But browsing around (by way of another comment on your talk page), I saw one thing he actually did right. On the British Jews thing (what's it actually... something long-winded: List of British people of Jewish descent), we had proposed the comment:

Please put in {fact} tags when disputing sources and remain civil. Only remove entries when they are proven to be false. When there is a dispute, a fact tag should be added. Nasty edit summaries are particularly disruptive. Please see WP:CIVIL.

The suggestion to use the {fact} template is quite good. I forget about that, but it's much more narrowly targeted to raising concern about individual names. I'm sure it wouldn't have prevented the obsession of certain Londoners either way, but if I had thought of it, I would have tagged some names that way at the Jewish jurists prior to removal of unevidenced names. I'm going to add something close to Zordrac's suggestion over at List of African American jurists (where he's also been making WP:POINT edits, unfortunately... but where he used the {fact} tag constructively nonetheless... I've since sourced all but one listed name). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Help

Hi, I uploaded an image of Ari Meyers within the the accordance established by Misplaced Pages (source and licence) and someone put it up for deletion because "it is unencyclopedic". The image is of good taste and just because it is a wallpaper image I don't think it should be deleted. Please view and if you can, express your opinion. Images and media for deletion/2005 December 24 Thank you, Tony the Marine 03:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Explain reverts

Slim, why didn't you explain your reverts on WP:V sooner? Now you have, it makes sense. Please, please, in future explain, it goes such a long way. And I note that due to my forcing the issue, you've edited the top of WP:CITE which makes the situation much clearer. So you see, some good came of this :-). Have a nice Christmas. Dan100 (Talk) 10:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and a request

Hi Sarah. I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas as it is Christmas day here now, and I hope that you have a good one. I hope that you still consider me your friend as well. I would also like to ask that you help to talk to User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters to explain that I am not against him at all, and that my entire aim was to help people. I have written it in detail here: User:Zordrac/Poetlister, and that I would like very much to resolve all issues that Lulu might have with me, and hope that he can cease harassing and stalking me, and also ask for his friend Antaeus Feldspar to do the same. I really seriously do not want to see those two banned for their harassment of me, and that is not my intention. I just want them to stop. There is no reason for us to be enemies, and we have a lot in common. Tell Lulu that I am also a philosopher and we could perhaps go over some theories together. Please ask him if he can write to me in a civilised manner without threats or accusations or demands, and just try to be friendly. It is Christmas after all, and we should not be fighting with anyone. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Since Zordrac insists on violating Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page and Misplaced Pages:Avoiding common mistakes, or even allowing mention of those policies (e.g. ), perhaps I can comment here without the improper deletions of comments. Here's what I need to happen:
  • Zordrac apologizes for all the scurrilous and false comments placed on many, many user talk and admin pages about me.
  • Zordrac stop violating Misplaced Pages policies (see, e.g. User talk:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters/sandbox1) for a partial summary).
  • Zordrac give up all the weird delusions he's promoting, e.g.
    • That I am "friends" or "conspirators" with Antaeus Feldspar (whom I've exchanged all of two user talk messages with, and first heard of yesterday); nor am I Antaeus's enemy or opponent. He's just an editor I know nothing about and have almost no contact with.
    • That I had anything whatsoever to do with the ban of the sockpuppets.
    • I guess the delusion than I am an admin, despite the fact I am obiously not.
    • Ideally, Zordrac would also restore (at least to an archive) some of the improperly deleted content from his user talk page; but that's not crucial.
FWIW, I really seriously do expect that Zordrac will get himself banned before too much longer, given his pattern of behavior. And I suppose WP will be slightly better for the fact. But if he starts obeying policy, this is a fate he is well able to avoid. As with all the stuff improperly deleted by Zordrac, this is of course not a threat, simply an expectation (or prediction).
Sorry to bother you with the digression, SlimVirgin. Feel free to ignore it. But I assume Zordrac will read this page, and hopefully not engage in the same deletion here. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I think the two of you really need to spend some time apart. Edit different articles; don't check each other's user contributions. Both of you are using somewhat heated, somewhat confrontational, and almost aggresive language, which is such a shame any time but especially at this time of year. Both head for the moral high ground - always assume good faith about the other, never threaten (or imply a threat) in any way, criticize content not commentary - and you'll all gain a lot of respect from everyone, and have a much pleasanter and more constructive time expanding and improving Misplaced Pages. (Sorry to Slim for a bit of impromptu mediation on her userpage!) Dan100 (Talk) 17:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

User:CltFn

You seem to be one of the few people who can get through to this user. CltFn has been making some ridiculous edits, most recently at Oriana Fallaci where she changed the section title of "Racism" to "Observations about Muslims". CltFn has just been blocked for the 3RR but continues to use alternate IP addresses to edit and I really don't know what to do about it. Yuber 17:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Alright, thanks, although now I seem to be dealing with a persistent wikistalker. Yuber 05:45, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Can this edit be considered vandalism ? Yuber 17:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Do you ever stop running around getting your supportive clique of users and admins to support your constant blatant POV additions to Misplaced Pages and telling people to support your revert wars every time someone challenges your POV? --Mistress Selina Kyle 18:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Do you have some sort of past grudge against me? It really seems like we have met before. In any case, I don't care who you are as long as you act respectful. Yuber 18:17, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Nope, but: I've seen you call me a) a "vandal" (for not agreeing with your POV: When I didn't agree with you, you do what seems to be your common move which is going to several other supportive users' talk pages and trying to get them to revert war with you) b) "ridiculous" (when you went running to your meatpuppet anonymous editor to support you in adding your POV to create revert wars on Islam in the United States) c) a "sockpuppet", as well as reverting any edit I make on articles you edit on and falsely calling it "vandalism".
You are hardly the one to talk about acting "respectful". --Mistress Selina Kyle 18:36, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Reverts

Okay Dan, I'll explain my reverts immediately, but could you also please explain your additions/deletions, then we'll both save a lot of time? Joe Mabel may yet want to make changes, because he feels the current wording is a bit harsh (the bit about any unsourced edit being removable), and although I don't agree with him, I see his point and won't revert him, though if you do, I also won't revert you. Despite our disagreements, I hope you accept that I'm editing in good faith, and being fussy only because I've been up against a thousand POV pushers and their various attempts to squeeze through loopholes. It's WP:FUSSY, not WP:OWN. ;-) I sent you two emails by the way. I hope you got them.

All the best to you, Dan, for Christmas/Hanukkah. SlimVirgin 10:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Of course I know you're acting in good faith! I still have high regard for you, in particular for standing up to PoV pushers (I just can't do that), and that won't change. I honestly thought I had explained my text move, but on checking all I'd said was a short edit summary at WP:CITE. That was a mistake, which I readily admit to making. Have a lovely Christmas, Dan100 (Talk) 17:12, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

British Jews

Hi, I have renamed the article notable British Jews as you suggested. I propose that anyone who has expressed a wish not to be identified as Jewish not be included in the list. Cheers Arniep 18:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

most recent revert on PETA

Hi SlimVirgin,

Are you sure you reverted what you meant to revert with your last PETA revert? I'm just wondering if you meant to revert the vandalism from the 21st (which apparently was fixed by someone at the same IP address that created it) but ended up reverting the additional quotes and sources that 68.251.190.235 put up on the 23rd. If I'm missing something, please pardon me, and thanks for all your work on this article.

--Allen 21:54, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, SlimVirgin. I see what you mean about the quotes. --Allen 01:47, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, SlimVirgin/History 2! A well deserved pressy!--Santa on Sleigh 22:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Slim. I just want to wish you a very, very Happy Christmas. Thanks for all the help you've given me, and I hope you haven't had too much wiki-stress lately. You're one of those who helped to make Misplaced Pages a much nicer place for me in the last few months, and I hope you'll stay around and be able to offer advice when necessary. Your message just came in as I was writing this to you. Thanks, and all good wishes. AnnH 00:30, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas File:Pressie.gif

Same to you, Slim, I hope you receive many File:Pressie.gifFile:Pressie.gifFile:Pressie.gifFile:Pressie.gifFile:Pressie.gif with happy thoughts in them, and that you don't let the and trolls wear you down. You're really indispensable here. Bishonen | talk 00:49, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:PA103cockpit4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PA103cockpit4.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much.

I found a free source for this image, quality isn't as good but it's free.

Marsden again

Hi, if you see the section "Marsden again" on WP:AN, you'll see I'm wondering why User:Marsden was blocked indefnitely. User:snowspinner now says (on my talk page) that this was based on what you said. So what was the reason/evidence? Thanks, Rd232 01:44, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

An experiment

Some anon IP yanked out the Brits from the List of Jewish jurists, then pointed readers to List of British Jews#Law. I'm completely indifferent about that change. However, it was an opportunity for a small experiment. I'm certainly going to stay far away from the British Jews list, both because I don't really know most of them, and also because of all the posturing we've seen around these lists. But I did make one edit which I think may prove a good example. I tagged two of the names that had been in question on the former list (which may have eventually been annotated with the somewhat flawed source, Jewish Yearbook, I forget) with the {{fact}}.

This is much more moderate than removing the names, or tagging the whole list with {{accuracy}}, or any of those other things that cause conflict. It's just an invitation for editors to provide citational support to those specific names (who are unsupported by their WP articles). If this approach actually produces more positive editing behavior, maybe it's an idea to follow for many other lists. Obviously, there's still some case-by-case judgement needed; some people/things are well evidenced to be such-and-such on their articles, and others are more-or-less absurd to start with. But for those plausible "maybe Foo is a Baz" cases, the {{fact}} tag seems like exactly the right level of request. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

User:NoSharia

This user is a sockpuppet of User:Absent who you banned earlier, I reported the violation on the Administrator's userboard with the user contribs of both, including NoSharia replying to questions asked to Absent, etcetera, but it seemed to get glossed over and nobody replied. Sherurcij 20:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I have another request. Can you ban User:OceanSplash as well? Look at his latest edit , and his friend Nosharia's edit .Yuber 20:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
