There are not a single contemporary scholar (academics university professors) linguistics, historian population geneticist on this planet, who support that fantasy theory. Wikikpedia is a 💕, however it is not the place of the popularization of pseudo-scientific politically-motivated fantastic nonsenses. The best option would be the permanent ban of Maghasito. --] (]) 10:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection cutting discussion of other threads

I understand why this is necessary (I participated in the original community ban of Kumioko), but it's killed discussion in at least one thread where the OP isn't autoconfirmed yet (see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive261#Forgeten vandalism and User talk:Joshua Jonathan#Forgeten vandalism). 206.117.89.4 (talk) 20:33, 4 May 2014 (UTC) (User:Ansh666)

The OP of those threads appears to have been blocked as a sockpuppet. So while, yes, semi-ing AN can definitely be problematic (as can not semi-ing it...), in this case it doesn't seem to have done active harm. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
I don't know about AN but it seems like AN/I was getting blanked daily by different IPs. It caught pretty fast but it's a vandalism magnet. Liz 21:00, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
...which is exactly what I thought they were, but I couldn't post it. Thanks anyways. 206.117.89.5 (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Bold move of Melancholia during RM

In a good-intentioned wp:bold to resolve to problem, user: Jytdog moved the page to a new mainspace title. Whatever the merits, it is entirely inappropriate to do so in a discussion that's less than a day old, RM is a deliberate process that can drag on for weeks, especially in potentially more complex ones like this one. I would therefore ask for an administrator to revert the move, as it brings confusion and derails the process. victor falk 22:50, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm fine with that. Jytdog (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

edit request on 28 May 2014

This edit request to Misplaced Pages:Administrator's noticeboard has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

hi

regarding- http://en.wikipedia.org/Flag_of_New_England

there is a sentence under the third paragraph of "history", line 2 & 3.

the sentence claims blah blah blah "...a red flag..." then gives a link to the painting.

the image of the painting clearly shows a blue flag.


i propose this "red" gets changed to "blue" in the text.

How do things work here?

Can a non-admin close an active discussion topic here? I posted a request for intervention last week, and it was closed rather abruptly with a closer's comment that I disagreed with. I assumed at the time that this was done by an admin, but on closer examination, I find that this was not the case. Joe Bodacious (talk) 15:34, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Are you referring to this? ANI is pretty unstructured and it is common for non-admins to close discussions that experience suggests are not going to result in any admin action. Such closures can be reverted, but there should be a good reason for doing that—a reason should address any issues raised. I am yet another non-admin, but I have not examined the linked section. Lots of people read ANI and it's likely someone would have objected if they disagreed with the close. Johnuniq (talk) 01:54, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Those who close discussions are normally not involved with either side. And in this case you picked the wrong venue. RFCU is the correct place your your dispute. Werieth (talk) 18:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
