New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Director! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you. If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Query

Is there any connection between you and PRODUCER? You both have names in all caps (which is unusual) and edit the same articles and pages. Just curious. Liz 00:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Sure. Strangely enough - no connection whatsoever . We're not even in the same country, as I gather. As I always say, if I were so stupid as to create a sockpuppet, I certainly wouldn't call it "PRODUCER" :). Also, my username is not derived from movie-making terminology. -- Director (talk) 00:56, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for politely answering my question, Director. I'm now sorry that I brought it up! Happy editing. Liz 00:02, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I'd find it suspicious too; I did my share of sock hunting :). -- Director (talk) 09:17, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Listing/Not canvassing

Hi Director, since you know how to list a discussion for additional comments, can I ask for your help please? There's a requested move at Talk:History of the Jews in Russia#Requested move (2014) and it needs to be listed in Russian and Jewish history sections for additional comments. That's not canvassing, right? Can I please ask for your assistance? I think it would be nice to do something together for a change. What do you think? USchick (talk) 02:21, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

@USchick. That's not canvassing, and you can do it very simply by viewing the other added entries once you click to edit the page. I really don't have anything against you as such, USchick, and I admire your interest in these important issues. That (plus my general reluctance to report anyone), is why I have not yet moved to request sanctions. It is, however, inexcusable that you persist in such disruptive behavior. I won't go into details again, but some of the stuff you wrote displays a staggering lack of information on this subject. To the point of absurdity. Again, in itself, that is not a bad thing, but persisting in said course of action, spitefully opposing for opposition's sake, even when the folly is explained to you, is disruption. On Misplaced Pages, we #1 read the sources to find out about the subject, #2 edit, and #3 discuss the subject. You forgot about "step #1", apparently. -- Director (talk) 15:04, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of Split history, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pietro Orseolo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You know what they used to say about Stalin? He was cunning without being intelligent. Nothing gave him joy like burying the fools who underestimated his deviousness.

It's always the bigots who are the manipulators and tattle tales. They taunt and gloat then cry to mommy when their feelings are hurt, or god forbid, someone calls them what they are. Giant egos with no self esteem.

Enjoy winning the internet. You show those Jew bastards.--Mazelov (talk) 04:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
