68.32.34.152

I consider deliberate misinformation to be worse than just random vandalism -- it cuts at the entire credibility of this project. 68.32.34.152 introduced sneaky deliberate misinformation to several articles, including two fake genealogy claims (that Bob Dole was the grandson of the Dole Foods founder and that Stephen Breyer was the grandson of the Breyers Ice Cream founder). When I called him on it, his buddy 75.3.141.197 started vandalizing my talk and userpages with racial epithets, blanking and replacing with "poo", etc. I see your point in general, but my opinion is that both of these particular users deserved to be reported.

Snake Liquid

Please check the talk page for Snake Liquid's RfC. He seems dissatisfied with a comment you made and that I repeated on the talk page. Please clarify your reasoning for him.

You may remove this comment from your talk page when you are done with this issue. --Targetter 23:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. Discussion was closed. Thank you for your input, and sorry for the interruption. --Targetter 23:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Clarified reasoning might actually help, especially because I was unaware of how popular I was among you people. Also because I'm under the impression that if I so much as edit a spelling error or change wording to improve an article, nevermind a picture, someone's going to pounce on it and call it vandalism and tell on me like a little kid. A bias, maybe? My own topic category on at least three seperate user talk pages, I'm surprised.--Snake Liquid 00:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Save me? Heh. Right. How condescending and patronizing of you. You didn't help me at all. You didn't get my record cleared,or my charges dropped, you didn't get me any amnesty. You came in and said if someone gets pissed off at me for whatever reason (and knowing how you guys act, it doesn't take much, and a lot of things are taken the wrong way in the wrong context), you'd get rid of me, only you changed the words around to make it sound like you were a nice guy. You're not. You can't ban me either. And no, I won't take my argument some place else,. If I can get called on civility, they can get called on contradiction, hypocrisy, and abuse of authority. And there are two sides to every problem. People provoke, and get provoked. If you ignore them, you're just as bad as they are, and for a minute I thought you were one of the good guys.--Snake Liquid 04:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Gibnews Rfc

Your comments added to the RfC are imprecise;

Since he is only making POV edits that favors one reasonable side (ie: not pushing extremist ideologies), I think we should just give him a warning, and tell him that he needs to stop or leave. He needs to make this choice himself, as I always say. Arbiteroftruth 00:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

If the he referred to is me, then a cursory check will show that I have made a lot of edits and included a quantity of images, text and references and therefore totally refute the claim of only 'making POV edits'

On the other hand, some of the other editors have been obsessed with an attempt of including inappropriate pejorative language in relation to the Gibraltar finance industry, based on references which do not actually back up their claims, and flooding the talk page with large extracts from the Spanish language wikipedia, where a link would be appropriate; I got trashed for doing just that

Can I suggest you revise your contribution.

Generally the need to invoke the Nazis, unless there is a direct connection, suggests that godwins law has applied.

User page work

Hiya!

1. Putting the sharedip tag on so many user pages: great (though the language on them is more suited for user talk pages; maybe we need a special one for marking user pages?
2. Marking user pages of banned etc. editors: great!
3. What you put on User:Incorrect -- not good at all; a personal attack, regardless of its accuracy.

--jpgordon 16:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright (In response)

That makes two of us.--Snake Liquid 23:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Drini and the CVU deletion

You, like so many other Wikipedians, seem to have felt that Drini's actions in the CVU deletion proccess were wholly inappropriate and did not follow policy. As a result, I'm forming an ad-hoc group of sorts composed of people interested in removing Drini. If you'd like to be involved, just drop me a note. ShortJason 20:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. How do you suggest we proceed? ShortJason 02:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Drini's talk page

Just as a heads up, you probably don't want to continue that discussion on Drini's talk page. I completely understand your feelings, but statements such as "How typical...this implies guilt" hurt your case. If dispute resolution on this issue does occur, those type of comments are going to severly weaken your overall argument. The entire debate will become about civility and AGF instead of what it should be about: admin over-reaction. As I've suggested on my talk page there are several productive things you can do from here. Continued discussion on Drini's talk page is not one of them. Thanks. --Nscheffey 23:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Civility in criticism, please

Comments like this one – where you compare another editor to Robert Mugabe – are not an appropriate way to express criticism on Misplaced Pages.

In future, please bear in mind these three points.

1. Misplaced Pages is an open project, and everyone can read everything that you write.
2. Our policies require civil discussion at all times, even on user talk pages.
3. Ways to resolve disputes are listed here. All of the methods are guaranteed to be equally if not more effective than namecalling on third-party talk pages.

Anson Chan edit?

I'm confused as to why you put the test1 template on my Talk page. May I ask your reasons? None of my edits were vandalism, and none of my edits were reverted either. - Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 22:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Get A Mac Ads

"RV" stands for "ReVerting", not "Reverting Vandalism". I know I used to be confused with that too. I thought I wrote why I was doing that, but apparently I didn't. The reason I reverted it is the entry isn't meant to be a script of the ad, and the fact the end shows a powerbook with its cord being pulled isn't notable. --TheTruthiness 09:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Could you verify a reference in Chinese?

On penis, there is a reference to the Guangzhou Daily, used to support the date and location of the first penis transplant. Could you please look at the referenced page and see if it supports this? Thanks. –RHolton≡– 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the confirmation. I'd like to say that I'll sleep better for knowing this is true, but... –RHolton≡– 03:49, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Help with Translation

Hi, my name is Ricardo Ramírez, I'm from Colombia and I'm working in the article of Cúcuta. Can you help me to translate it from the Spanish Misplaced Pages?

• Cúcuta - Spanish Misplaced Pages - Click
• Cúcuta - English Misplaced Pages - Click

The spanish article is very long. Could you help me with the section of stadistics?

Thanks...

Barnstar on talk page

I'm so glad you brought this up, and disappointed I was out of the country to see it. You're the second person to try. Yep, been there, done that.

You people affiliated with the CVU have this terrible idea that you are some kind of crack Gestapo, standing for justice and peace and all other royal-blue things on Misplaced Pages (when you're not even an official project!). That you assail every admin who even doubts your presence (think Drini) is further evidence of what you people think you are. Here is an excellent case in point:

The barnstar on your userpage was awarded by the Sockpupppet of a vandal. I would suggest to you kindly to remove it.

Rather than patrolling recent changes or doing whatever it is you do, your primary concern is with a barnstar that Bobby Boulders awarded me over a month ago. I agree 100% with him on his arguments on the MfDs, as did some other Wikipedians including me (you chaps at CVU are quick to gloss that over because you busted a vandal in the process). BB presented some astonishingly brilliant arguments and I supported him one hundred percent. That he wasn't careful enough to let the MfD live is a let down, to say the least, but I'm waiting for an opportune time to MfD you again. Campaign before the elections, if you will.

That said, he did not vandalize my user page when presenting the barnstar, did he? I restored the edit. Live with it. The revert I made was nearly a month before your comment. It's BEEN over for a long time. Was it just not enough to leave it alone? --JStalk 00:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please do not accuse other editors of vandalism when their edits are not intended to disrupt or decrease the quality of Misplaced Pages. Please assume good faith, especially in heated content disputes. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 09:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Calm down!

Do not use the term "vandalism" when not called for. Calm down. You, along with other users, are escalating a factual conflict into something silly. I suggest you take a one day wikibreak, research the facts, then come back with the proper references for your facts. -- Egil 09:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Your attempt to get my attention

About the messages you left on my Talk page, leaving specific messages on admin's Talk pages is not the correct way to get admin assistance unless the admin is specifically involved in the dispute. I'm not really sure how you found me as I have had no contributions to France 24 that I recall and I don't believe that I have interacted with you before (though I have seen you). Having an argument on an uninvolved editor's Talk page is generally not a good idea. Please use the standard methods to request assistance in the future. Sometimes the assistance will come slower than you would prefer, but eventually an admin will assist you. -- Gogo Dodo 17:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
