Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:52, 10 November 2012

Does anybody truly understand what its like to have an IP engage in an edit war with you on an article you worked really hard to produce from scratch, then create a new account and continue to revert and place unwarranted tags on an article, then go back to his old account and pretend to be a different editor, continue to revert, and then request his old admin tools in the heat of an argument even though he hasn't edited for 4 years? And then in a blink of an eye despite the edit warring and context its somehow OK for him to have his tools restored very quickly by an editor I had a tiff with a long time ago after I said Pokemon cruft had no place in an encyclopedia. The editor has done nothing in 4 years, left wikipedia in a dispute back in July 2008 and has shown no evidence of actually why he needs an account let alone the tools again. Its sooo wrong, policies are valued here more than human decency and input. Why is this sort of thing accepted on here? I seriously question how wikipedia is run, I've seen some things during my time on here, but the way this has happened I find most outrageous. I'm not finding fault in admins for sticking to policies, I understand the need to stick to rules which have been made, but I'm finding fault with whatever consensus decided its fine for a desysopped admin to be given back his tools after doing nothing for 4 years and after he was engaged in an edit war as an IP and what appeared to be a sock account and how wouldn't stand a chance in a new RFA. I welcome anybody returning I really do but such individuals really should at least undergo a trial period if they want to return to wikipedia and have their admin tools restored, a lot can change on here in 4 years. I worry that this editor will intrude upon me in the future, even if it isn't this article. I have made a proposal to User talk:Polarscribe which I think is perfectly fair and would right a wrong if you want me to return to wikipedia and restore my faith in the community. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh NO!!→ When things look bad, you can rely on Dr Blofeld to arrive and stubbornly and tenaciously establish some order. The main thing we are doing here is sharing the world's information with its rightful heirs. There are a number of things that make this difficult and others who just make it difficult. The comradeship is what makes it fun sometimes. There are some great people here with thousands of edits on talk pages. The ones who create real edits and real articles and still manage to establish some cool arguments are too rare to lose. Oppose Victuallers (talk) 22:03, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose retirement - Your contributions have been extremely valuable and I certainly hope a little sparring over content doesn't dissuade you from editing. Hope you return soon, and refreshed. polarscribe (talk) 22:02, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
• Take a few days break off wiki but don't leave en wiki! We need people like you! :) Bidgee (talk) 22:05, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
• I trust I won't be alone in hoping this is temporary. I don't think I have all the facts, but if I understand some of them, you are concerned that you are in an editing dispute with a former admin who just asked for the tools back. It would be absurd to assume that the timing is coincidental. However, I would remind you that an admin is prohibited from using the tools in a content dispute, so if the editor in question were to block you, or fully protect the article, either action would be quickly reversed. I've only glanced at the subject of the dispute, and I think both sides have some strong held positions, neither of which can be easily dismissed. It looks to me like a good faith content dispute, (mostly, although some of the editor directed comments by both parties are unfortunate) and I hope it is worked out as an content dispute. --SPhilbrick(Talk) 22:09, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Its not over the content dispute. I disagreed with the tags he added because the article is actually verifiable and the reporting of paranormal activity is widely covered in reliable books, regardless of whether we believe ghosts are fact or fiction. I actually agreed with a lot of his edits, especially some of the sources and putting mention of pseudo science in one paragraph and took care earlier today to try to modify it. But it was the way he used 3 accounts including his IP to revert as if it was support from different editors, continue to plaster the tags even though the issues he had raised had actually been addressed, and then in the wake of conflict to be granted full restoration of admin rights with little more than a blink of an eye which it appeared he intended to use to his advantage. He claims to be innocent of both socking and intent to misuse tools, if so, isn't this extremely odd timing to return to wikipedia after a 4 year leave and start constructive editing and use of tools? It saddens me that nobody was willing to question his reasons for wanting to have his tools restored because "policy considers it irrelevant". The policy seriously needs a reconsideration, at the very least editors who've not been here for 4 years and have been desyopped for inactivity over a long period should at least have to undergo a trial for a month or so to regain their tools and the context in which they return should also be taken into consideration. Its suspicious.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Sky Fall? Goodness me, 'Blowers, those are some of the finest red link categories I have ever seen. And I don't even believe in ghosts. Moneypenny can book you a decent holiday, you know - probably not GibraltaQ, but Alcatraz can be just all too ectoplasmic this time of year, I always find.

• WTF - Oh, not again... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
  • But there aren't really any ghosts, are they? It's scary enough walking out in the dark without having to worry about ghosts. There's no such thing, right? Or if there are, don't they keep them locked up in Alcatraz or somewhere else safe? Ghosts are spooky. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:43, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
• I'm sickened by what has happened here: a total and inexcusable whitewash based on the lowest cover your arse strategy followed by a case of arming the vandals / jobs for the boys. It's a stitch up job, Doc, of the most monumental stupidity, arrogance and head-up-arseness I've seen for a while. It's a shame that it's led to the retirement of one of the best editors on Wiki and that there is one more fully armed vandal with a god complex who wants to stamp their POV on articles, regardless of the sources, regardless of the procedures and regardless of consensus. I can only hope your absence will be temporary. - SchroCat (^ • @) 04:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
• FWIW, I really do appreciate Doc's frustration here. That an absentee contributor can return after four years and automatically regain the mop is incredible, given how much has changed in that time. From what I can see, the basis for reinstatement as an admin is the outcome of an RfC. Since when have RfCs been binding? Since when has common sense and WP:IAR counted for nothing? This place is going to the dogs. - Sitush (talk) 09:42, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
• A great pity a rather stupid dispute about ghosts has come so far. It's almost as if the ghosts themselves have succeeded in frightening away one of our very best contributors. I can only hope that after a few days rest we'll once again be able to benefit from the tremendous competence and enthusiasm you have untiringly put into your editing. On the more positive side, it is to be hoped that this incident will lead to a revision of the existing "rules" (or dogma?) which seem to have evolved in an atmosphere of nirvana. --Ipigott (talk) 09:54, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Note of appreciation

Just appreciating your creation of Liberian Observer; sometimes I feel as if I'm the only one contributing new articles on Liberia, so it's good to know that I'm not. Nyttend (talk) 20:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

say it ain't so, Blo

say it ain't so. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 22:53, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

No!

No! I don't like it. Here's what I say:

• The ghost thing isn't fringe, and your path is to get support at talk.
• The tags were inappropriate.
• We all love you.
• Separate the two things: A) He did stuff at Alcatraz that you didn't like. B) He got tools back.
• Neither A nor B alone are enough to leave in protest over. You are doing it, I think, because you feel they're connected and that he's going to use tools as a weapon to win the Alcatraz war? No way. Never happen. If that did happen, legions would come to your rescue.
• So, you're allowing the actions of this editor to have such a huge impact on your life, and the project you care so much about: The future is Misplaced Pages without your improvements and a huge change in your life. Don't let anybody, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever affect you that way!
• You are Dr. Blofeld. You do not hand victory to others. You are all powerful, a master of evil, not one to be trifled with. Dr. Blofeld plans, figures things out, and endures. Dr. Blofeld does not leave in a huff!
• Resume editing this instant! I want that "Retired" notice gone by the time I next click my watchlist. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I fully endorse the above sentiments. Please come back.--Nvvchar. 23:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I read the thread at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard. It seems that there was no policy warrant for denying the tools. I share your concerns, but I believe that enough editors know about the issue that there is little chance that this editor can cause you more than a short inconvenience with misuse of tools, if he falls into temptation.

You've been editing a lot and deserve a break. Go see Skyfall! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ferio Desert

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ferio Desert requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 07:20, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

:) To blame is to hold someone or something responsible for a certain action. Haha. I know Dr. Blofeld has created like, what, 4 million pages? So I would not have added that "first article" template. But twinkle would. So, put the blame on him her it. :) Btw, why did Dr. Blofeld retire??

;D Why don't you give us the answer? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 14:32, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld made his first edits on 14 June 2006. The article that was nominated was created on 30 June 2006. Hence probably the Twinkle error. Obviously, the page should never have been nominated for speedy deletion, it was perfectly clear what the subject of the article was, even though it was very short. Having six years of history, and 10 interwikilinks, are also indications that speedy was perhaps not the best option here. Fram (talk) 14:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Yup, maybe I have failed to understand A1. Burj its really sooo short. Just one sentence! If that doesn't qualify for A1, what does? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 14:32, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

From WP:CSD#A1: Example: "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." That sentence provides no context about what the subject of the article is (Who is "he"?), whereas Ferio Desert stated that it was a desert, providing context. Legoktm (talk) 14:35, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Nevertheless, your talent and expertise are way above average. Hoping you change your mind...— Maile (talk) 15:24, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
