Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:43, 15 May 2006

Operation Clambake

Hi, I saw your edits to Operation Clambake. Have you considered yet joining Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Scientology? The questions of how the various Scientology-related categories are arranged are the sort of thing that gets debated there. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Im a relatively new wiki user, but if you feel I may be of value to the project, I'd love to participate. Any information I should have before adding my name to the participants secion of WP:SCN? AKMask 06:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Nothing besides the basic policies you need to know on Misplaced Pages anyways. It's actually surprising how few problem users WP:SCN collects; mostly everyone there seems truly interesting in getting the articles up to an NPOV standard. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Epitaph/RIAA connection, etc

replying to: Im just posting this because I wish to avoid any sort of edit war. Is it possible for you to cite a notable source defining a major record label the way you are asserting? It's a new one by me. AKMask 16:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your efforts to avoid an edit war (I don't want one either).

Regarding the RIAA/indie label issue, it's difficult to find authoritative sources for the absolute definition of "independent" as it is mainly a matter of rough consensus of the indie community. However, increasingly RIAA membership has served as sort of the litmus test for a label's independence (I'm sure you're familiar with the RIAA Radar).

In that sense, here are some links attempting to document the consensus regarding RIAA membership:

Indie Labels join RIAA
Indie Labels Upset About Incorrect RIAA Link
Indie labels: "RIAA is NOT the whole music industry"
17+ indie labels go to RIAA

I'm willing to concede that some (perhaps many) don't agree with the anti-RIAA definition of indie, and that fact should be included in both the Epitaph and the independent record label articles. --Bk0 (Talk) 16:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

FL quest

Thank you for the FL quest on List of Oh My Goddess episodes --Cool Cat 12:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem. It's a very detailed list. You guys worked hard, I want to see it make it. -AKMask 12:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Cisco

Hi, I'm new to wikipedia, so don't mind me if I'm doing things completely wrong. Anyhow, I edited the article 'cisco (wine)' recently, but you changed it back. I just wanted to let you know that the only ones I've ever seen sold around here are 18%, and also, "berry", "orange", and "Red" are all flavors I have seen first hand. There are even more flavors that I've seen also, but I didn't want to speculate... I only wrote the ones I was sure about. I thought maybe raspberry was the same as berry. So anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I believe you if you say that there is a 19.5 and 17.5 version of cisco, which I'd really like to see, but the info I added, specifically the flavors, should have been kept on the page. There is a liquor store about 30 minutes out of my town which specializes in bum wines which I'll be driving past in the next week. So I'll stop in and check up on the flavors for sure this time.

I actually hadnt noticed you added flaors into it. By all means add your 18% figure, but keep the 19% one as well. I have bottles and bottles of Cisco Peach 19%. -AKMask 14:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

The Black List

As you are aware, we are all listed on the black list. Do you think that everyone who is listed on that list should be informed (in case they don't know) so that they can avoid giving out personal information? In fact, I find it most disturbing that he has taken my quotes out of context - elsewhere in the same comments, I am praising him for finding out who wrote that stuff about Seigenthaler. BTW what's he got against Gmail? I have one of their accounts. Izehar (talk) 18:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not planning on revealing any info - I like being mysterious John Doe#16. Anyway, I daren't e-mail him. My e-mail address is subject to a fundamental defect - see here. Izehar (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

7 Up

I'll look at it again after shabath. Thanks for bringing your complaint to my attention. Cheers, Tomer 23:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

RE: Titoxd's RfB

Hello. I wondered if you could clarify something for me. You said that Bureaucratship is nt the next logical step from Adminship. Why isn't it and what is the next step? If a user has been an Admin for a goodly long while and an editor for that same goodly long while surely they can be trusted with the powers, hereby openning up a new chapter in their WikiLives? I don't understand - do they not deserve that right through their long service to the project? --Celestianpower 10:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

RfC against Young Zaphod

An RfC has been filed against Young Zaphod. See (and endorse) Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Young Zaphod. --Karnesky 12:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

First Family of the United States

Hey, someone redirected the entire First Family of the United States article into First Family. I just wanted to let you know, seeing as more people voted to keep it than to redirect. I'm reposting it. History21 16:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)History21

Argox

Thank you for your comments on Argox's AfD page. Ruby has been wikistalking me, and it's very annoying. For instance, DAP Technologies and Virtutech. I don't exactly know how to deal with this problem. Jehochman 18:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD for Acellus

I know you're just being humourous, but your vote isn't really clear and may be mistaken for a keep vote. There is a cople of sockpuppets already and your vote could actually turn into lack of consensus - which defaults to keep. Please consider revising your vote. Ifnord 18:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD for Jeremy

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jeremy_Rosenfeld_2 --Candide, or Optimism 22:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Out the road article.

===>Thanks Sometimes I get too ahead of myself on "new page patrol" and you were right. -Justin (koavf), talk 22:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/We Belong Together

The awards ceremony image has been removed and I'd appreciate it if you reanalyzed your vote. However, the chart graph remains. —Eternal Equinox | talk 15:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! I see you are just getting started in helping with tropical cyclone articles, and us at the project are happy you joined. There are numerous ongoing projects, including greatly improving the retired hurricane/typhoon articles or finishing a database encompassing tropical cyclone seasons in every basin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or at our headquarters. Have fun, and see you around.

Re: Messier

Well, Messier played junior 'A' in my hometown for my favourite team, he was a great two-way forward, he was a terrific leader, he could score with the best of them and I'm surprised he never won a Selke trophy (they've always had a thing against giving it to top scorers)...I have to support him! Lord Bob 01:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

St. Albert, Alberta. Messier played with the Spruce Grove Mets and the St. Albert Saints when they moved during his junior 'A' career. Lord Bob 01:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

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, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). 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 ForteTuba, 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 13:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your support.. This guy resurfaces on this and other articles ever so often, check his contribs... Actually he's already gone way past 3 reverts today, but it was good of you to warn him... ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 18:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Huerta

Could you explain me why the article Huerta should redirect to Murcia instead of provide a propper definition? --Edmont 16:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your vote

Hey, we have made a lot of improvements on the Hinduism article that you voted for removal in FARC.1 I would urge you to take a look at it again and hopefully change your vote or offer suggestions for further improvement. Thanks for your help. (Blacksun 00:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC))

Classic Rock

I've updated my Classic Rock List with your songs. You might find that some of your votes aren't present. If that is so it is because I felt that those songs weren't truly classic rock. If you have any comments feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. RENTA 02:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Various unseen or stub Star Trek Classes

Mass afding is bad practice. I am quite displeased. --Cool Cat 20:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

(crossposted on my talk page and yours for ease of following)

Perhaps you may wish to look at WP:AfD#How_to_list_multiple_related_pages_for_deletion where it's explained as part of AfD procedure before you say it is a bad practice. -M 20:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the fact is it hasnt even been one week since I recreated those articles. You went ahead for mass deletion without even discussing it. Frankly I find that rude. --Cool Cat 22:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

There was a previous AfD that mandated returning many of the ship class articles back into the list. You should have checked the history before recreating.Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Hokule'a class starship covers that class plus a number of others. Frankly, disregarding previous AfD's is what I find rude.-M 22:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Interesting point. I will remeber this incident and I can assure you the memories are not pleasant. I see this as a continunation of the censor of fiction and pop culture on wikipedia. --Cool Cat 02:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Makemi RfA

Thank you for voting on my RfA. It passed with a consensus to promote of 45/7/1. To those of you concerned about the fact that I am a relative newcomer, I encourage you to poke me with a sharp stick if I make a mistake. Or better yet, let me know on my talk page, and I'll do my best to fix it. Makemi 05:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

List of Starfleet ship classes

I have no problem with a short summary. However the page is already very long, so I'd prefer them to be short. AlistairMcMillan 01:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I've edited the two classes where you added summaries. Is something like that okay with you? AlistairMcMillan 02:06, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, you are being discussed at WP:ANI#Stalking by user:AKMask - I didn't know if you knew. --Latinus 15:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Userbox deletion vote

I don't appreciate being told what I 'may' and 'may not' remove. Try being more diplomatic in your wording and please assume good faith. I was removing comments that could be construed as offensive because they do not positively contribute to the discussion, I wasn't vandalizing. Look and think. Thanks. — natha(?)nrdotcom 22:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if my wording was less then diplomatic, but you 'may not' do those things per the rules. I'll couch it better next time... I end up doing so many little reverts throughout the day that I dont really put too much thought into those messages. -M 22:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

DaGizza's RfA

Hi AKMask, thank you for supporting me in my RfA which passed with a tally of (93/1/2). If you need any help or wish discuss something with me, you are always welcome to talk to me. Gizza 11:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

FL Tallest structures in Paris

You recently voted oppose for this article's request to become a featured list. The main or sole reason behind your choice to oppose was that there were many red links on the article. This was in the process of being attended to by Metropolitan well before I nominated this article for FL status, so I apologize that the article was not ready to become an FL as of then. Now, though, all but a few red links have been replaced by blue links.

For the time being, your oppose vote has been stricken out because your reason for opposing has been attended to. If you still believe this article should not become a featured list, please de-strike your comment and state a new reason. If you think that because of the lack of red links, it now deserves a support vote, kindly note that below your original vote and write "support". Thank you for your vote on that page. → J@red  _ubx  02:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thurrock Paranormal

Dear 'AKMask', Would you please try to be a little easier on the creators of Thurrock Paranormal, users here overly criticising them and their site is doing Misplaced Pages a disservice and has resulted in some long term members loosing faith in the community here. Thanks - Solar 18:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

err, yeah, sorry about that... he was being pretty childish and I just felt the urge to smack a bit. Wont happen again. -M 18:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for commenting on my recent request for bureaucratship. I deeply appreciate the comments and feedback that you left me. I hope that I can improve and gain your support in the future. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)== ICJ ==

user against Iraq war of aggression

Just saw your userbox that you put up. It'll probably be speedied, but just so you know: The US is not under the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice. They are not entitled to rule on American actions, so no case against those Americans pictured would be brought forth. Blair, on the other hand, since Britain agreed to be under the Court's jurisdiction, could. See the jurisdiction secion on the ICJ page. -M 01:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You are probably thinking about the International Criminal Court. The International Court of Justice has jurisdiction over all countries. And the ICC, too, has, as long as crimes were committed in a country that signed the Statute of Rome. That is why the US was trying to get an exemption from the ICC but failed after the war had started. Bush can be tried in the US as breaking the UN Charter is a crime there, too. ROGNNTUDJUU! 08:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The ICJ page states that the US pulled out in the mid-80's. There are a few other countries who pick and choose where it has jurisdiction (Austrailia doesn't let it rule over maritime boundaries, for example) -M 14:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please stop deleting the Misplaced Pages:Wikiethics page. Deletion of some section is considered to be vandalism. Resid Gulerdem 00:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

He did not "delete the page"; he edited out some text. Vandalism does not, as I've said on your talk page, equate to "changes I don't like." --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

my reasons were clearly spelled out. Do not violate WP:OWN. -M 00:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

The discussion pages are for discussion. Please refer to WP:VANDAL blanking section. Reverting vandalism doesnt count as violation of 3RR. Resid Gulerdem 00:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

They were not vandal edits. You have been reported to an administrator, and if you continue will be writtin up on AN/I. -M 00:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

You look like a fool Resid, your not an admin, cant block me, and I never vandalized, so those are inappropriate. -M 01:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

3rr on Misplaced Pages:Wikiethics

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 00:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rikki Lee Travolta

Please reconsider your opinion on this article. Just having a imdb entry doesn't make someone notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. Two of the parts are just uncredited extras and the veracity of the film in which he stars is highly doubtful. Arniep 01:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

"Vandalism" warnings removed

I have removed the vandalism warnings added by User:Rgulerdem, since it is clear the changes in question did not fall under the purview of vandalism. I have, however, left his more verbose messages above for context. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Next time when you want to delete an article or redirect you've created don't blank it, just apply {{db-author}}. See ya. - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 17:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Infestation

I found this proposed policy, and I really like the way it's starting to shape up. I've made some spelling changes and whatnot, but no substance additions yet. I believe if this policy continues developing in an acceptable manner it could become accepted by the community. Any specific help you might want on it? -M 15:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, for one we need spesific examples of what can be considered "infestation".

Greek/Macedonian conflict over the naiming of Republic of Macedonia may be a good example.

I prefer not to present conflicts (I am biased in conflicts I am involved with after all) I was a part of as examples but I do not mind you presenting them.

Your vote on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Buffy_body_count

That made me laugh. Thanks! ...Scott 08:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Pchurch

Why did you delete the things Pchurch wrote here? -Wieners 14:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

He was doing nothing but trolling and looking for a rise out of people, not just on my talk page. Best thing to do with trolls is ignore them. -M 17:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

We Belong Together

The article has undergone a major rewrite and I was wondering if there are any comments you have before it is nominated at FAC (which will likely occur at the end of May)? —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I am always going to cooperate on an FAC from this moment. After all — and you know that you were right — pressing down on the minority is never the way to complete a project. However, a month has not passed; you posted a message on Talk:We Belong Together dated April 29. —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
