Revision as of 20:49, 27 March 2006
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- Poche120:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Jamie's talk page! Vandalism or hate mail from anonymous users, vandals, POV-pushers, and link spammers will be recycled in the bit bucket.
I removed your speedy deletion tag from this article. "El juego" means "the game" in Spanish, so it's a legitimate redirect IMHO. howcheng {chat} 00:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Removed my redirection from the Spanish name for The Game, 'El Juego' as supposedly nonsense vandalism . Later apologises to another Misplaced Pages user saying 'I guess I was too hasty in tagging that one'...
Removes my addition that Aphex Twin (aka Richard D. James) grew up in Carharrack whilst leaving the info about his album. Which is more important, that he named a remix after it or he grew up there?
Removed etymology of skunk (cannabis) from the strain Skunk No. 1
Removed a link to my How to Skin Up Guide (Skinupperology), more informative and detailed than any of the other guides and including photos, all the other inferior links were left untouched.
Removed my link to LoseTheGame.com, from page, even though it is by far the most comprehensive Game-related website.
A look through OhNoItsJamie's contributions reveals a rampant deletionist attitude having no respect for the opinions and knowledge of others. Jonty23:42, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Response I'm not the only one who has reverted your edits, most of which consisted of link spam for your losethegame.com site (your registration of that domain can be confirmed via NetworkSolutions whois). The spam warning template that's been applied to your talk page clearly states the policy regarding using Misplaced Pages to drive traffic to your site. The other edits were reverted because they were unsourced and/or unencylopedic. The info about Aphex Twin was reverted because it accompanied a spam link to your site. You're welcome to restore that information (assuming that it's verifiable). I'm sorry if you're upset that the "Pez" article of your that I nominated for deletion was removed via an afd vote (which now has been recreated with no attempt to address issues raised in the afd vote). I stand by my editing history. OhNoitsJamie03:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Re: Bill Clinton
Regarding your comments on my talk page. My nullyfying your edit and bringing back vandalism was an accident. While you were reverting the page, I was doing a revert of my own. However, I was accidently reverting the vandalism back, not the trusted article. Just a little error on my part. Sorry for the problem. --John / Cloud10918:37, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I didn't even notice it was paraphrased. The first sentence of both paragraphs sounded very familiar and I assumed this was more stubborn editing from the same anon editor with that other ip address. Feel free to unrevert me if you think it is the right thing to do. Sorry! ApolloCreed02:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
3rr noticeboard
Hi. I've just archived the noticeboard, including some of your reports that didn't get an answer. They are now stale, so need to be archived, but you may well have got a raw deal. If the problems continue, leave me a message next time you leave a report. Sometimes these things slip through, especially as there is no-one responsible (formally or informally) for checking that page. William M. Connolley14:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC).
Spam
Great work reverting that anon spamming hockey pages! However, you rv'ed my category additions in the process. I partially reverted to restore them. Just thought I'd let you know. Take care. SoLando (Talk) 20:29, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
67.49.215.174
This is a public IP adress of my road runner cable modem. I have it hooked up to an unprotected wireless network. I live in an apartment complex. I know that some vandalism comes from this IP adress(probably from my neighbors), but I do legitimate contributions here. Could you please not block this IP? If the vandalism continues, I could possibly encrypt the network. --67.49.215.17404:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Chonga
Chonga was an article that went through AfD a few days ago about the exact same racially stereotyping bullshit only about hispanic girls in south Florida. See here. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) – February 20, 2006, 05:01 (UTC)
Hey, Ohnoitsjamie, I'm afraid that the answer to your request for semi protection is no. SP not an option here. Unless the page is being heavily vandalized, semi protection is not applicable. For major disputes full protection can be an option. As I am rather unfamiliar with this situation, (since my protection of the article a week or so ago, I have not given much attention to it) I have the article on the CVU's watchlist in #wikipedia-en-vandalism so it is being monitored for major changes. If you would like to request protection please list it at WP:RFP. Thanks KnowledgeOfSelf02:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
lol, I'm pretty sure I missed some of the reverts even with that huge list. I originally made it thinking it might be useful if RFAr comes up, but I don't think it will come to that. ~ ApolloCreed03:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I posted one more good faith request for reasons on the talk page and both anon editors pages. If this is not answered, we will wait a day and then remove the tag. At that point, any anon actions are vandalism. pschemp | talk04:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Wow, I didn't notice the scope of the problem when I left that note on the anon's talk page! Other than trying to discuss it with them, all I can think of in response to your request for suggestions is to continue reverting and warning the IPs. They'll eventually get themselves blocked, and surely when one of his/her IPs gets blocked, surely the others can be too, right? Thanks for the tireless cleanup work! Peace, delldot | talk18:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I actually brought this up on #wikipedia-en-vandalism on IRC. I was just talking to joanneB, and she said that it probably should not be treated like vandalism, and that maybe it should become an RfC if the problem persists. She also advocated discussing it with the person and linking to policy. Sorry I couldn't be more help here! Peace, delldot | talk19:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Jamie, i'm drafting a RfC right now. Let me know the next time the page gets reverted by imposter and socks etc.. I will go over it with you and get it started. I fear that this is going to be a long term problem that comes back every time the page is unprotected or that a sock is unblocked. Later. pschemp | talk22:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if I am to sign the endorsee line or the certifying line (I don't think I was involved enough in the attempts at resolution to certify). I am digging through some old RfC's to determine the correct choice. Congratulations on your first, second, and third impersonators, by the way. :) Kuru01:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I've confirmed that 212.142.140.149 is in fact an open proxy; if you know of other IPs he has used that are not listed at the RfC, let me know and I will scan them as well. Essjay08:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Account Unjustly Blocked
Dear "Ohnoitsjamie",
I have discovered that my account "Happyjoe" is blocked from editing due to some sort of misunderstanding over the Big Spring, TX article. I am not certain how to contact Misplaced Pages Technical Support or management to resolve this issue. As you were involved in the recent discussions over the Big Spring article I was hoping that you may be able to offer some assistance in having the block on the account removed. Please remove this block so that I may complete necessary editing on other articles. Thank you for your timely assistance in resolving this problem... Happyjoe69.145.215.20604:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to guess that the block has something to do with this RFC; specifically, the use of open proxies to circumvent Misplaced Pages policies and procedures. I'm afraid that I can't support a removal of the block based on your behavior documented at the RFC and here. OhNoitsJamie15:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
removal and accusation
Encyclopedias are supposed to be an objective, unbiased, and accurate account of an event. By not allowing disclosure of this entry you are breaking the fundamental principle this site must maintain to protect the integrity of its information. Misplaced Pages is ultimately acting as a third party bias between the author and its audience and I am disgusted that some stranger suggests, on a whim, that some event they know absolutely nothing about is nonsense. In essence, your ignorance and power to alter a historical account is nothing short of vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.192.242.71 (talk • contribs)
We're on the threshold of a no concensus here. I've moved relevant text into the appropriate section of Robert Moog. As I continue to contend that "Moog records" is protologism, would you support a merge and delete? -- Krash (Talk) 23:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ohnoitsjamie. Following your request, we've scanned User:69.145.215.206 and concluded that it was most likely not open. Note that this scan doesn't preclude the possibility that the IP address is a zombie computer or network; if you have reason to believe this is so, please list it at Vandalism in progress noting your suspicions. Thanks for your contributions to the WikiProject on open proxies. // Pathoschild (admin / ) 23:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
That makes sense. It's registered to Bresnan Communications, which "currently serves over 300,000 customers in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah." I suspect that the user is a student at the University of Wyoming, because two of the non-proxy attacks came from IPs registered to that school. OhNoitsJamie23:45, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome! Haha, I was actually just writing you a message about them when I was checking the names of the articles under my user contributions when I noticed you'd left me a message. :-) Jude(talk,contribs) 00:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you!
Thank you! Hi Ohnoitsjamie, thank you for your support in my Rfa! It passed with a final tally of 86/0/0. If you need help or just want to talk let me know! Again, thank you! – Dakota~°23:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Michael Hammer and James Champy
Hi, you voted 'keep, here. Could you have a look here for discussion on a related article? Those pages have my response and I have improved the articles as well. Both of them are well-established authors in their fields and sold more than a million books individually, so they are notable. btw, I am under some time constraints and cannot research right now to improve James A. Champy to the same level as Michael Hammer, but I'd get around to it soon, in case it is not deleted ;) TIA, --Gurubrahma18:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Please stop removing my edits
Please stop removing the links from the hangman page. I don't believe any of the group are particularly commercial. The friendlydragon one certainly is not. GameMan GameMan03:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
The domains of all of your external link additions are owned by the same individual and have Google syndication links. Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle to increase traffic to those sites. OhNoitsJamie04:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
That would be more honestly worded as both (as in two) of your external links are registered to the same person, and one of them contains google adsense. But an honest portrayal is not what you had in mind, is it?
Yes, please do post everything. All 2 of my external links? Friendlydragon.com and perfectpixelpage.com for any other editors that care to take a look? Oh, and all two logons. The one before I registered, and and the one after I registered in order to be able to set up a permanent personal page to speak to you both have the same IP? Wow! I'd say that's pretty deceitful stuff! Definitely should be tagged as "Sockpuppets".
What did I do to you that you are pursuing me to be a nuisance? I have done nothing inappropriate. I have added 3 links in my entire 2-weeks on Misplaced Pages. I added my link to the hangman page after others that existed. On the pixel ad page, I added content as well as my link. If you don't want links on that page, fine, but don't harrass me elsewhere, where you removed relevant links that had been there for months, presumably so you could claim impartiality. Don't accuse me of spamming for 3 different links on 3 different topics, and don't accuse me of using sockpuppets for registering.
Yes, friendlydragon.com has adsense ads. A free gamesite for hangman, concentration, and nim is a big moneymaker, generating almost 1/2 what it costs to host it. The site has been online for nearly 10-years and has a higher page-rank than the wiki page I posted to. Yeah, I'm wildly spamming the Wiki for personal gain.
Anyone who takes the time to look at that site can see that adsense or no, it is done for fun and as a service and not for profit, but then you wouldn't want to be confused with the facts, would you. The other of the whole 2 domains you refer to, perfectpixelpage.com, has no revenue source and exists merely as an art experiment.
I used to have a lot of respect for the wikipedia community - still do actually - but you are sure leaving a sour taste. Just because you don't like an edit I make, does not give you the right to be rude and slanderous. Bring it to other editors if you like, but don't imply things you must know to be untrue. If you are smart enough to be this much of a pest, you are smart enough to know there has been no attempt to mislead or distort on my part, so watch your accusations.
Perhaps you should educate yourself on polite web etiquette, instead of pursuing others over your personal pet peeves. Oh, and by the way, I have my email listed, so instead of misrepresenting my actions to the community at large, perhaps you could email first in the future.
If you are picking up a note of anger here, it is because I am furious at the moment. Your self-annointed-god-like attitude doesn't help, but your attempts to portray me as deceitful with the misleading wording of your comments about me truly ticks me off.
GameMan
Response I'm just calling it like I see it. Your anon IP address did nothing much else besides add external links with Google ads whose domains were registered to the same person. I removed the ads (as well as other commercial links that were on those pages), User_talk:24.149.205.186 warned you about it and responded on the talk page. You then registered an account and added those links back. I sockpuppet tagged that account and warned you again. These actions and the fact that you seemed to adament about retaining the links led me to think you were trying to increase traffic to your sites through Misplaced Pages (which many folks attempt to do). Yes there were "only" three links, but I was trying to nip the issue in the bud. I'm sorry that you think this is harassment, but when a user does little else besides add external links with ads, I always check their history, and remove ads from any previous contributions. I believe strongly in keeping Misplaced Pages free of adverts and not letting it degenerate into a link farm.
If you've set up an account to contribute other things besides links to personal pages, great. We welcome your contributions. Assuming good faith, I'll remove the sockpuppet template. Regards, OhNoitsJamie15:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I do not agree with you about the links, as I obviously felt they were relevant, but as you have been around longer here longer than I have I will defer to your opinion, at least until I have reason to be convinced otherwise.
I was pretty angry when I wrote the last post, and in light of your more polite reply feel less attacked. As a suggestion for the future, you might want to pay more attention to overall context before replying in a way that could be considered insulting. Whether it was intended or not, your attitude came across as extremely insulting to me.
I had taken care to ensure the links were relevant to the topics, I noted that on the hangman page, which was the only one I particularly cared about, there were several longstanding links. I posted mine discretely under the others as the last link, and tried in every way to be low-key and non-offensive.
When you removed the link in the pixel ad section, I went back and read the history of the page, noted there had been a long-running problem with numerous links, and did not repost there.
I did the same on the hangman page, and noted the links were longstanding, and had never been an issue, so reposted there.
When I registered, I left you a note asking that you please stop remove my links. Would I have done that if I were trying to pretend to be someone else?
There was really nothing to add about hangman, so I added nothing else. I had additional relevant comments on both other topics (the concentration addition is on the main page noting another meaning, not the game page).
I was miffed that you just bulk deleted on the pixel theme, without even noting the additional comment, which is not only relevant, but would seem to reinforce the reasoning for not wanting the external links on that page. I also noted that while you were very quick to remove the labled links where I placed my link, you left the dead link to tic-tac-toe hangman, and then in your haste to revert the page, restored the dead link I had removed.
Perhaps I was being oversensitive but the fact that you just undid every change, without bothering to separate the ones that you objected to from others I made did make me feel attacked.
Again, I understand the reasoning on the pixel page, but on the hangman and concentration pages, which are unlikely ever to attract more than a handfull of links, I think you should reconsider restoring the removed links. I would think links to a few relevant examples would be a usefull addition. However, it is not something worth arguing about.
If you had simply asked that I not include links on the pixel page, without making the comment "sorry spammer" in the edit, which came across to me as rather snotty, I would not have had a problem or felt offended. The fact that you felt you should then look at my post history, and remove everything without bothering to read what else was there also annoyed me. The three other additions may have been short (one sentence in the case of the pixel page -- one dead link removal on hangman, which I researched and spent a good 1/2 hour trying to find and correct before deleting -- one addition to the main concentration page on chemistry) but they were thoughtful, well considered, and carefully worded. They certainly took a lot more effort to post than you spent removing them.
Anyway, I would send this privately, but can't seem to find how to get an email from your registration. It's wordy and picky, because I still feel a bit attacked and want to feel vindicated. However, the tone of your last post indicates some of that feeling may be overreaction on my part. I often remind others that straight text contains no inflections, and can be misinterpreted, but am having a hard time following my on advice in this instance.
I would suggest that in the future, especially when writing to someone you've never had interaction with before, that you put some thought into how you could be interpreted before making comments, and that you take the time to check the totality of a change before removing it in total. It would have been nice to see the dead link remain gone in hangman, and the comment about link farms remain in the pixel page.
Meanwhile, I'll try to remember my own advice about written messages before becoming angry in the future.
P.S.
I know this is wordy. Feel free to delete it after reading if you like.GameMan
Response I rarely leave "snotty" edit summaries, like the "sorry spammer" one. I suppose I did in that case because it was on the Pixel advertising page, which is a hotspot for spamming; also, I feel very strongly about not letting people turn Misplaced Pages into a link farm. Nonetheless, I apologize for failing to assume good faith on your edit. Regarding the edits to the two game pages; I'll admit that it's debatable whether or not those pages need an external link section. I try to maintain a pretty strict interpretation of what articles really need external links. For Concentration or Hangman, a quick Google search will yield hundreds of free games; I lean toward the attitude that unless there is a particularly notable one, or a completely advert free, public domain one, let the user find examples via web searches. If you posted a question on the talk pages for those games to see what others thought about adding a few example links, I would respect the consensus opinion.
I tend to make my reverts very quickly; the idea is that if a vandalism or link spam is reverted within seconds, that endeavor will be abandoned as futile. In my haste, I do occasionally make mistakes.
Fighting link spam can be more frustrating than fighting vandalism, as (1) there's already a lot of existing link spam and (2) link spammers are often able to operate faster and cause more disruption before they're blocked. Here's one of the more egregious examples that I had to cleanup with the help of another user. I tend to take a hard-line approach when I see a few instances of what I think is link spam in an effort to avoid situations like that. I have a few personal sites with lots of info relating to a few topics here, but I've resisted the temptation to add them to the articles (even though they have no ads). Unfortunately, there isn't a black-and-white rule for what's an appropriate link and what's an advert/promotional/vanity link. Just today, I changed my mind about a few travel links a user had added (travel links comprise a large portion of spam links) after examining the link contents and deciding that the site seemed to be non-commercial and useful.
I appreciate your taking the time to write a thoughtful response and consider both sides of the issue. Your constructive criticism of my handling of the situation is noted and appreciated. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie03:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Long-deserved and well-deserved award
Greetings: It's high time someone gave you one of these, for your tireless efforts at NPOV, especially (at least that I have noticed) on articles on towns and cities, and in spite of persistent attempts by sockpuppets and meatpuppets to subvert our core policy of NPOV:
For tireless efforts toward keeping articles NPOV, I award you this well-deserved barnstar. Antandrus, March 8, 2006
Hangman
As you suggested, I posted a request for comments on the hangman page, but no response. What is the next step?
Thanks, GameMan
You can dump a {{PUB}} on them, though I'm not sure how many admins are watching the category as of yet. Theoretically some of the vandal fighter tools do / will check for that template and make admins aware of it.
Just thought I'd let you know. Of course, dumping PUB and reporting them to WP:AIV has twice the chance of getting them blocked. ;) --Syrthiss21:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
India Online Classifieds
How do I talk to you. Sorry I am new to contributing to wiki. - bluesargam
When an article is written about the online indian industry and there is a reference to the top classifieds. There is a need to list some of the popular sites. This is not an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluesargam (talk • contribs)

My post on the india page: Hello, I am the author of the online classifieds in india article. I would like to request that the original article be reverted to on the main site so that knowledgeable users on India can review it like ohnoitsjamie mentioned. bluesargam23:37, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Heya, you and I had edit conflict with you about about that breeder spam guy, you were a little faster than me :)
Just as an FYI if you see him do it again and need to report him on WP:AIV.
It's actually spam4 instead of spam1 - he has added those links under two other accounts and has been warned there.
OhNoitsJamie, please stop deleting content that has been created, edited, and maintained by dozens of other Wikipedians. Rather than deleting the content of others, perhaps you could focus on adding to and improving Misplaced Pages. Then instead of people saying OhNoitsJamie, they will say HoorayitsJamie, he no longer indiscriminately deletes content, he is a valued contributer. PoolGuy15:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Response Dozens of users could contribute to an article called My Favorite Ice Cream Flavors. That doesn't make it appropriate for Misplaced Pages. The Pet Peeve article was degenerating into "post your favorite pet peeve here!" The consensus on the talk page was that the list was unencyclopedic and more importantly not verifiable. OhNoitsJamie02:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Please do not attack me personally by calling me a spammer. According to Misplaced Pages "Spamming is the abuse of any electronic communications medium to send unsolicited messages in bulk." I have not sent any messages in bulk. I have sent individual messages to a finite group related to an AfD. My postings have not strayed from Misplaced Pages:Spam guidelines relative to internal spamming (which is actually linked at the top of your user page). Based upon your familiarity with this guideline, it is my opinion that you are personally attacking me by using this negatively connotated expression. At Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks it states that users can be banned for repeatedly engaging in personal attacks. GoldToeMarionette04:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Response Your only contributions thus far have been to post messages to over 80 users asking for support in an afd (who's author has already been blocked once for violating Misplaced Pages policy ).
I don't appreciate being accused of vandalisim for acting in the best interests of the public. I have a six year old son who came across a page about the vagina when doing biology homework. I was horrified to see a photo of a real vagina, as was my wife. I have no problem with the diagrams, but is there any reason for the real thing to be shown? No there is not.
Rather than making suggesting I am defacing this site, you should appreciate that I am spending a portion of my very limited time improving it for the benefit of others.
Repeatedly? This is the first time I have ever edited something for crying out loud. If this site is truly uncensored, perhaps you wouldn't mind me making a page about how much I hate Misplaced Pages, and especially 'Ohnoitsjamie'. —This unsigned comment was added by 88.108.27.142 (talk • contribs) .
Why would "such a page be tagged for Misplaced Pages speedy deletion"? Because you wouldn't like it. This site is about informing, so surely I should be allowed to give my honest opinion about Misplaced Pages whether it is good or bad. Or is Misplaced Pages immune to criticism?
I think that you, ohnoitsjamie, should be tagged for speedy deletion in accordance to Hotspur Warrior policies.—This unsigned comment was added by 88.108.27.142 (talk • contribs) .

VantageScore
Jamie, please do not remove the Credit Help Guide US link from the Source section of my articles. It adheres to Misplaced Pages guidelines in that the content I am helping to create is in part based on information on Credit Help Guide US (www.credithelpguide.us). This site, also according to Misplaced Pages guidelines, is free to all consumers and charges nothing for access to any of its content. Dwcusc00:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Jamie, explain to me how you feel the SOURCE link I placed is considered advertising? Real content was produced thanks in part to this FREE site. Where do you see signs of advertising? Dwcusc00:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
From the site: The site is trying to make a modest profit by promoting credit services.. That site is certainly not the only source of information mentioned in that article. It's clearly a promotional site. Misplaced Pages is not for advertising. OhNoitsJamie00:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Jamie, Credit Help Guide US displays sponsor ads or links just as many other for-profit sites that are quoted throughout Misplaced Pages. The site does not charge its consumers a single cent for reading its articles. On that very same Misplaced Pages article, Payday Loans, Slate.com is listed as an External Link. When I go to Slate.com I see 3 different sponsor ads to the left, bottom and top of the actual article. I also see an "advertiser link" advertising to "Get a $200,000 loan for $833/Month." Sites like Yahoo News, MSN Money and many more have the same links. Why do you feel you can indiscriminately single out sites that don't have large corporation names behind them? All the sites mentioned are open to the public to read their content, but place ads to allow consumers to help support the site IF they choose to. Please reverse your edits and add back the Source links to Payday Loans and VantageScore. Dwcusc09:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Slate has ads, but it's also highly notable and frequently cited along with other major news outlets and magazines. The Credit Help Guide article was already afd'd because it did not meet the criteria in WP:WEB. As I said before, there are more authoritative sources for that info (such as vantagescore.com). Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle to promote your website. OhNoitsJamie16:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
My RfA
Thank you so much for supporting me in my recent RfA, which passed with a final tally of 56/1/0. I thank you for your confidence in my abilities. If you ever need anything or find that I have made an error, please let me know on my talk page. — Scm83x21:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I didnt know were to put this, so I am putting it here. Yo ucan remove it after you read it. I have added things to Dwight Morrow High School to make the page more neutral. I have removed the tag. You may add it back on if you feel that the artcile is not yet beutral enough. Dmhsgarduate200619:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I have edited the page once again with new information. Let me know if the new edits are within wikipedia's standard so I have a basis of writing good articles with proper sources. See the talk page of the artcile as well. Dwight Morrow High School. Put any personal comments on my talk page. Dmhsgarduate200620:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I have added some citations to the arctile, but it needs major clean up to make it look more ncie and presentable. Can you help me clean up the page to make it look more presentable? Dmhsgarduate200622:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Misplaced Pages to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Misplaced Pages's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
The Stress alertsprogram aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
Put at bottom so as not to mess anything up. Is there a simple way to discuss article I submitted? It is an addition and should be in there someplace. I see your point but it does follow the whole chimpanze/man discussion. It is a scientific study so I don't think their is disagreement that it should be added right? Sorry for sending this way. I'll watch your change to see how to discuss appropriately with you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Questioning (talk • contribs)
Well, there are scores of articles about human and chimp/monkey DNA homology. That particular study has a pretty tenuous connection to the Evolution article; it deals with evolution specific areas on the DNA strand (recombination hotspots). How exactly does that particular topic fit in with the rest of the article? OhNoitsJamie04:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
My RfA
My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again.

I noticed that you just tagged this article with {{db-bio}}. This explains that they are real people but don't assert any noteriety (sp?). As the first sentence says, they are characters in series of books, not real people. Just thought you might want to rethink your tag on that. I have no ties to the article, I was just patrolling the recent changes log and noticed it. Dismas|07:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
There is a lot of content in those photos and I give a heads-up about the commercial nature of the site for those who might feel that they will not be able to resist the offer for sale of the images. Those images have a lot of content in them and you are being a hair-splitter by ripping them out just because copies of them are for sale. To do shun all art museums that have a shop atteached to them? Get a life: I am putting that link back. -- 70.231.170.16019:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
You are as empty-headed a Wikipedian as I have ever met. You obviously do not know, nor do you want to know nor do you want anyone else to know why San Francisco is a great city to live in. You are acting like a child because you refuse to view the images as they are offered for free. Historcal, exciting images of a great city. There is no other site on the web such such a good collection of images of that great city available like that for free and you want to sit there and whine because copies are also availble for ordering. -- 70.231.170.16019:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Look, you pathetic, authority-obsessed whiner: you cannot find a better set of historical and contemporary images on the subject matter for free on the web, can you? Huh? -- 70.231.170.16020:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
