Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:45, 14 January 2011

Re:Hey

I would like very much to discuss the issue at hand with you, and resolve the issue without hostilities. Unfortunately, you keep removing the paragraph in question without even attempting to justify the deletion. Unless you can provide some kind of policy-based rationale for your edits, I will continue to consider them vandalism. Thank you, DLand 02:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Where is your reasoning? Is it the comment from the IP that claimed that BuddyTV is a "fansite"? If so, then that is patently false - the article that is used as a reference is written by Jon Lachonis, who is a senior writer on a paid salary for the website. Incidentally, BuddyTV has explicit policies that distinguish spoiler from speculation, if that's what you're worried about.--DLand 04:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Please make your argument for deleting the paragraph. I can't find where you "already posted it" on the talk page.--DLand 00:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yaksar - My fault - I inadvertantly rolled back an article which had already been reverted (thus reverting to the vandalism!) ... Please remove the notice from my talk page. Best regards, MackSalmon 20:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

What you can do is continue to warn the user on the talk page (as you have already done) every time he/she vandalizes a page. Once the warnings reach the 4th level ("final warning") and the vandalism continues, you can report the user to administrator intervention against vandalism with a brief explanation of his/her actions. Eventually an administrator will happen by and hopefully block the offender. ... discospinster _talk 23:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Vote/Newyorkbrad

Good evening. I have indented your vote on Newyorkbrad's voting page in the Arbitration Committee Election. In order to vote, editors must have 150 mainspace edits as of 1 November 2007. Per your User Contributions, you had fewer than that number. Accordingly, your vote is removed from the count - though, I note that it remains on record as a statement of your position. Please feel free to post any questions you may have at my talk page, or at the talk page for the election. Thank you for your interest in participating in this year's election. Best, ZZ ~ Evidence 03:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

You do have 155 - as of now. According to Milestone, your 150th mainspace edit was on 25 November 2007. To participate in the election, you had to have 150 mainspace edits by November 1st. As you say, the editcount is good - but it just missed the deadline. Sorry for the confusion. For what it's worth, you're good to go for future elections. You can also leave your vote in place, if you like, as a show of support for the candidate - though it'll be indented, it still says that you offered your support. That's no problem at all, several voters did the same thing. Again, sorry for the confusion. Best, ZZ ~ Evidence 04:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Misplaced Pages:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Misplaced Pages, the 💕". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Misplaced Pages and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold 01:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Next (restaurant)

A tag has been placed on Next (restaurant) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 15:38, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of people who accepted Golden Raspberry Awards. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.

In particular the three-revert rule states that:

• Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
• Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -- Cirt (talk) 18:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
