Over 45K

Hi WLU,
In X!'s Edit Counter, for users such as we, "Top Edited Articles are disabled for users with over 45000 edits."
But not for you. Your edit breakdowns are active.
Which magical power did you use? Varlaam (talk) 16:36, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

No idea. My edit count is just over 45,000 (45,155 as I check now) and it could be that the difference is due to my deleted edits. I know I've got at least a couple hundred. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 17:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps that's it.

I did "speak" to X some time back, by the way:

Since that legal case, or complaint, or whatever, the edit breakdown has been disabled automatically for everybody. You have to be pretty experienced to re-enable it, and few have.

Therefore I argued that the +45K group should get the feature back, if they want it, since virtually no one else has it active nowadays.

Fell on deaf ears, or something.

I like it; it gives you a decent idea of what the editor is expert at, or very interested in at any rate.

Mine's disabled, otherwise you would know that I'm really interested in the Care Bears, and My Little Pony. (Joke.)

Cheers, Varlaam (talk) 04:16, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

45K edits? When do you have the time dude? Seriously, none of your edits are two words. They're like dissertations. Hahahah.OrangeMarlin 19:13, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

S'not my fault my talk page comments have more in common with Bronte than Hemingway. In my mind, the problem is no-one seems to read or understand my posts so I have to explain them in minute detail. Now, what reality says about the situation... WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 20:29, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

FYI - ANI

hI, your contributions have been mentioned at ANI - Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#The_Bio_about_me_keeps_accumulating_demeaning_and_Defaming_material - thanks Off2riorob (talk) 01:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I just checked the history on Trevor Marshall and JIMBO HIMSELF has edited the page. Now I can retire. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 10:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I didn't get involved in that travesty, until I saw your name on ANI. I'm still amused that Off2riorob made the comment that I wasn't in Trevor's league. I think I graduated into the major leagues of medical research 25 years ago, and am ready for the hall of fame, based on my batting average, RBI's and stolen bases. LOL.

Yeah, but there will be an asterisk. Because of the steroids. MastCell  19:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

There has been no proof of that vicious rumor. I stand by Barry Bonds, my bro. OrangeMarlin 19:33, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

What causing trouble again! :) I read the section, you continue to keep up your good work. When you get time drop me an email. I got out of the hospital, again, last Weds. That makes three visits, soon I'm going to get a room with my name on it permanently. Went in for the same reasons, infections and bronchitis with no oxygen level. I think 911 might be getting tired of me, what do you think? ;) In case you didn't notice I was leaving this project. I had blanked my user page and was close to blanking my talk page and saying good bye for good. I know I've done this before but this time I am being trolled by an expert troll that no one knows how to stop. Isn't that wonderful, not. I am going to stick around a bit longer to see what happens but I need to know what good I can do at this point. So an email telling me what good this project does and I guess a pep talk would be helpful. I had some wonderful emails sent to me though that I still need to respond to. I was first responding to an administrator which I am sorry to say didn't go as well as I hoped it would. Anyways, send me one and will catch up on things. You should be a home owner by now if my timing is correct. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care all of you, --CrohnieGal 22:54, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I kept thinking I hadn't heard from you in a while. I'll send you an e-mail, I just hope it doesn't lead to an accusation of off-wiki collusion, like last time :) WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 23:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Off-Wiki collusion sounds like a euphemism.  :) CG, I hope all is well. I got back into editing here while sitting on a hospital bed. I had nothing better to do.  :) OrangeMarlin 06:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

OM, I don't know if you remember me but we used to chat ocassionally. I am glad you decided to return. Too many scientific editors have been banned lately I'm sad to say. I actually stopped watching a bunch of articles because of this too. So welcome back. WLU and I talk to each other a lot about all kinds of things. WLU, I look forward to hearing from you again and yes hopefully we won't be accused of collusion since we usually don't talk about this site when we do email each other. Now don't forget the pep talk that I really need. I also looked at the AN/i discussion, what a bunch of bull that was. You both take care. OM I hope your hospitalization wasn't an emergency type situation. I heard differentt reasons for your leaving and your return and you being in the hospital wasn't one of them. Well I'm off to go lay down and get some rest again. I'm getting tired of being tired all the time. :) Be well both of you, --CrohnieGal 13:32, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

How could he not remember you, you're delightful!

OM, the short of it is a paranoid dipshit thought that since I mentioned I would be e-mailing Crohnie about a completely unrelated matter, that meant we were conspiring against the account. It was almost amusing as it was annoying. And stupid. You would have loved it. But no euphemism, we mostly just chat about medical stuff and our personal lives - the kind of thing that we have policies against on wiki :) WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 14:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

There are paranoid dipshits on Misplaced Pages? Imagine that. I'm shocked. I'm gobsmacked. I'm flabbergasted. Astonished. Astounded. LOL. Apparently my teenage humor got lost. Yes, Chrohnie, I remember lots of interactions. When I came back, I actually spent time looking at articles I used to watch. Lots of mess, not only pseudoscience, but bad mistakes. Lots of good science editors are gone, some just don't have the energy to fight the wars.... OrangeMarlin 15:45, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like you'd enjoy the sadly moribund Citizendium, which actually respects expertise (to a certain extent, that project has been poisoned by pseudoexperts and I'm sure Trevor Marshall would get a more-than-fair hearing), and would support Raul's also moribund WP:CPUSH. If CPUSH had been pushed forward into policy (extremely unlikely, it would probably be akin to a paradigm fracture) then quackery would get much, much less play. It's not even really necessary - if we could simply say "prove it with explicit reliable sources" then block or topic ban the accounts that keep pushing despite that lack, most of the problems would go away. Instead, we grind editors through the sausage factory. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 16:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Wound dehiscence

You might be interested in taking a look at wound dehiscence, since it also touches negative pressure wound therapy. Regards, W n C? 15:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Given the treatment section was unsourced, I am reluctant to leave it in place and have removed it per WP:PROVEIT. It needs more sources in general, I'm seeing what turns up on google books and will try to expand with better sources. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 17:37, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Just basically rewrote most of it, have a look. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 18:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

BLP Copyedit request

Hey, I did some work on an Egyptian activist. It's my usual comprehensive, carefully paraphrased, quote-farmy c-class work. Want to give it a look over? DYK should be up in a few days.... Kamal_Abbas Ocaasi 02:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll give it a proofread. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 23:59, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

August 2011

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Paraphilic infantilism. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

In particular, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. 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 a version 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 you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. -- DQ (t) (e) 14:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Please see my latest comment at ANI , protecting the page does not resolve the central issue of a source being inappropriately cited. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 14:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Mentioned you

in a good way here. Anthonyhcole (talk) 12:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)--

Thanks for the note. I'm always surprised when I get called "calm and rational". Though I suppose I only include the word "fucktard" in my drafts.

I did say "mostly" patient and polite. Haven't seen many fucktards from you lately. I did once follow a link you posted to some very colourful language, though.

You may be interested in WP:CPUSH if you weren't already aware. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 16:14, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I'd heard of it but never read it before. Very frustrating folk. (Thought I'd just drive up your talk page stats with that edit summary.) --Anthonyhcole (talk) 17:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, if you want to see "patient and polite", have a look at talk:paraphilic infantilism. I challenge you to read an entire section from August beginning to end and not say "what the fuck" out loud. I bet you a shiny nickel you can't. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 23:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Been there. I saw an exchange between you and Fiachra on her talk page, so took a look. Fortunately I know nothing about that particular brand of paraphilia, so I was able to resist the urge to dive in shouting. On behalf of the universe, thank you both. I'm just fiddling in the lonely neglected gardens at the moment. I had a spell at Santorum (neologism) and that was enough intense interpersonal feeling to last me a while. Let me know if you ever think I can help with anything. I might say yes. What happens when you say "fucktard" in an edit summary --Anthonyhcole (talk) 03:57, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I know what that spike is, it starts with "W" and ends with "ikistalk".

The only thing the page needs is what Fiachra is giving it now - a second account that understands referencing and sourcing. There's a steady accumulation of accounts familiar with Bittergrey such that he'll either stop editing and his problems go away, or he'll end up blocked or banned. Given his approach, it's pretty much inevitable. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 11:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
