Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 14:01, 23 July 2006

I archive this page semi-frequently. If you want to continue a discussion that was archived, just post here and I'll thread it properly.

User: Social personality abused

Hey there.... thanks for your help on User:monkey power.... I think the same user is at it again, using the name User: Social personality abused. This user has repeatedly posted the same bizarre statement about the Scientology article Suppressive Person being "unfair" as long as there is no article called Social Person, and generally just trolling. This user's edit to Ethics (Scientology) takes up exactly where User:Olberon left off, right down to his same accusations of everyone else but him being "vandals". That he has chosen to call himself User: Social personality abused to post about that very topic on Suppressive Person seems to indicate that someone is just trying to make a WP:POINT. Any chance you can run a CheckUser of him versus User:Olberon and User:monkey power? Thanks in advance for your help....... wikipediatrix 03:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

MedCom

Hi Ral, thanks for that, my spelling clearly isn't up to much! --Wisden17 15:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Signpost RSS revisited

Thanks for getting this going again, but when I tried to subscribe just now neither my RSS reader nor my web browser could find the domain wikipediasignpost.com. Hopefully just a temporary glich... - dcljr (talk) 08:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, apparently it was just temporary. I was able to subscribe just now, but the first article tried to be Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2006-06-19/Welcome RSS readers, which doesn't exist as I type this. I would create a redirect to Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2006-06-12/Welcome RSS readers, but then that wouldn't be the same issue (i.e., if you were to follow a link at the bottom of the page, you would end up reading the previous week's issue). Minor glich there. Not very important, unless it's gonna try to welcome new subscribers every week with a nonexistent article! Anyway, thanks again... - dcljr (talk) 06:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Signpost

I see. Never mind, was quite looking forward to the French version though! Perhaps a little cleanup of the intro etc would be warranted? I'll get round to it later if I remember. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME 23:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Yes, I am. But the nomination seemed to have hit a standstill, and I didn't want to bug anyone in fear of possibly ruining my chances of enough support votes. -^demon /00:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Signpost this week

Posted a 'mania article.. sorry about being late. Next week is fine to run it; hopefully I'll even improve it some :) Brassratgirl 06:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Next issue

That's fine, it's the perfect week for me to do the publishing because I'm taking Monday off in any case. --Michael Snow 16:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The 17th I can do even if it's not as fortuitous. Not sure I can promise the same for most other weeks, though. --Michael Snow 02:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Signpost RSS yet again

My RSS reader (Thunderbird) has been refusing to give me this week's Signpost (Vol. 2, Iss. 27), complaining that it's "not a valid RSS feed". I think the problem might be the first line of the feed, which is:

h<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I guess Thunderbird doesn't like that "h". I can't believe I'm the first one to notice this, seeing as how it's been out for so long, but... there it is. - dcljr (talk) 07:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Spamlist

I can run it if needed. Treebark (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to contact me

Oh and I know I'm new here, but if there's anytime you are on wikibreak and you need someone to publish feel free to contact me. Treebark (talk) 22:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Question about probation

Ral,

How does banning me from editing on the article have anything to do with what you believe to be disrupting behavior on the talkpage? Why does notifying individuals who have edited the article previously of a discussion taking place a disruptive behavior?

Guy Montag 16:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Article ban

Ral, I'd like to ask what the basis was of your ban of Guy Montag from Battle of Deir Yassin. I don't know any of the details of this, so I'm not questioning your judgment, but I'm concerned by the fact that Guy was reported by KimvdLinde, who appears to be developing a vendetta against pro-Israel editors, which Guy is. My understanding of Guy's probation is that he may be banned from any Israeli-Palestinian article that he disrupts with inappropriate editing. Can you say in what way he was disrupting the actual article? SlimVirgin 18:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note, Ral. I can see that you exercised good judgment. The problem with these pages is that they're edited by people who take every opportunity to make anti-Israel edits and to attack editors they perceive as being pro-Israel, and they do this regardless of the issues, what the sources are saying, or what the facts might be. It makes it harder than usual for everyone to judge what's going on. SlimVirgin 14:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, as someone who has been involved with User:Guy Montag before, I'd like your input on a recent ban, see here and here. I'm wondering if I've done the right thing and perhaps I've been a little hasty. I'd appreciate your input. Regards, - FrancisTyers · 01:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Signpost

I'd like to write for the signpost. What do I have to do? What do I have to know? Reply to me on my talk page as soon as you can. Carmelapple 14:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Message

Did you write User talk:Treebark#I don't appreciate the bad support? Because some user is pretending to be you, I think. Treebark (talk) 03:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Deir Yassin arbcom case

I have filed a ArbCom case against Guy Montag for the violation of his probation, see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Dier_Yassin. -- Kim van der Linde 14:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
