|25 June 2007;<br>
To all my friends;
Due to my many horrible actions, I have found it impossible for me to continue to edit under this persona. I hope that all those I have caused grief can somehow find it in their hearts to forgive me, even though that may not be possible. Geo.plrd is therefore no more, but i will return as another, starting anew and hopefully gaining the trust of the community. I humbly request that all my userpages be left intact for personal reasons.<br>

Sincerely;

== "Indo Aryan Migration " article ==




== AMA controversy ==
Please compare this http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Indo-Aryan_migration&diff=107288902&oldid=107029876.
Please note that Indo Aryan Migration is highly controversial topic bearing it's impact not only on South Asia but on world history. Migration of such people and causing a huge impact on South Asia is questioned by archeologists, anthropologists,language scholars and many others in concerned fields from India as well as Western world based on absence or presence of evidences which goes against this theory. This is just a theory and to oppose it's potryal as a fact is surely disturbing to supporters who are facing more stronger evidences and opposition even from Western world. Hence, they are deleting details which makes people to understand opposing sides ( like ] 's links )


] is now at the risk of being shut down. I am not a member of AMA but I think it should definitely not be shut down. It is a very useful and helpful project for users who are unfairly treated. ] 01:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
The problem is created by continuous deletions by Crculver or Dab.They are deleting ] 's mention in very vast Sanskrit texts, deleting ] 's paper's links , ] 's properly ref. sentence regarding ] etc.


== ] ==
Is it wrong to write that XYZ is supported by supporters ( content is already written in article as some fact ) and XYZ is opposed by opposers of this theory ? Is it wrong to present neutral situation instead of presenting something as a fact ( as done by Crculver,Dab )? This 150 years old theory has been modified from the root level as and when strong opposing evidences appeared, but it was proposed without any archelogical or anthopological evidences or literally deriving some wrong meaning from ancient Rig Veda texts ( opposed to traditional deeper Indian meanings ).


Community enforceable mediation has gone into experimental rollout. Thanks for volunteering as a mediator trainee. We'll be in touch as this develops. ]<sup>'']''</sup> 04:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
If you have any questions or doubts then do write to me. ] 05:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


==MFD==
Thanks. I think you can see the same thing happening in ] article & talk pages rightnow. Indian or Western concerned scholars' ref. sentences are deleted and instead somebody else's sentences are cited.
I have listed ] at MFD. Please follow the link on the page to the entry on MFD and offer comments if you like. Regards, ] <sup>]</sup> / <sub>]</sub> 00:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
It creates wrong impression to readers. My stand is that do not delete points which is unpleasing ( even though from many scholars of exact concern field ). If you want to write other view then write it with ref. as XYZ is opposed by ABC. Then, let reader decide whose points seems to be more truthful. I think your help will be required in Indus Valley Civilization article also. ] 05:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

: I'll just have to say ditto to what dab wrote. WIN's English is atrocious, and his additions to article and Talk space are not only incoherent and unintelligible, but extremely long-winded. He seems to have no formal training in the subject, and does not have a grasp of what the mainstream of the field considers acceptable academic sources. He has been a nuisance here for years now, and I've come to revert his edits as a matter of course, because I have honestly never seen a productive edit by him. Please note that dab and I have a long history of productive edits--though I've been forced to spend most of my time reverting vandalism and linkspam of late--, we speak English at a native level, and we are very familiar with the academic study of this field, so please do try to understand that WIN is a detriment to these articles. ] 16:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

== My case ==


Hi Geo. The events are getting old by now, and the person I had an issue with has pretty much disappeared, so I don't think I need to keep up with this request. Thank you for being an advocate, and thank you for electing to take on my request in the first place. What should be done now to bring this to a close? ] 22:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
The issue is not as clear as Dab has portrayed. Dab is doing exactly the same things that he is accusing others of doing and he is very uncivil in his posts. He frequently removes relevant, referenced material and replaces it with his views. He also misrepresents author’s positions and provides inaccurate references. To give 2 examples from current page: First, ] is Dab’s creation. I have requested reference for this theory, but none has been provided. Second his edit ] has removed Hock’s statement and is misrepresenting Paul Thieme position regarding substrata. Please see Thieme’s position at ] which is properly referenced. There are Hindutva elements that are involved in this debate, but at same time there are serious scholars who have published material against this also. Correct thing would be remove all propaganda (both for and against) and discuss published material acceptable to ]. Thanks.] 15:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Witzel is formally trained in Sanskrit and is Sanskrit professor. But then also he is found to mistranslate that famous BSS verse wrong ( forgetting basic Sanskrit grammer rules ) in his zeal to find some scriptual support to Aryan migration hypothesis. So, your point is invalid. POV should be kept aside and only published materials should be written as suggested by Sbhushan. This is controverial topic and hence published material should be refered. Dab's behaviour in the subject is like a dictator. ] 12:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

== The LaRouche intro mediation case ==


The ''']''' of the Military history WikiProject newsletter has been published. You may read the newsletter, change the format in which future issues will be delivered to you, or unsubscribe from this notification by following the link. Thank you.
Well, a lot has transpired since the request for mediation was filed. A new editor, Dking, is a published critic of LaRouche who was sued by LaRouche for defamation. He began to add his rather unusual theories to the article to the point where they dominated it. This led to a fierce edit war and ultimately to article protection. The article was briefly unprotected, at which point the edit war immediately broke out again, and it was re-protected and remains protected now.


<small>This is an automated delivery by ] 14:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC) </small>
There are a couple of editors with a strongly anti-LaRouche POV who took Dking's side in the edit war. They are Mgunn and Calton.


== MedCab ==
The other side of the edit war was a group of editors who might be described as either pro-LaRouche or, depending on your frame of reference, anti-Defamation. They are myself, MaplePorter, HonorableSchoolboy, and NathanDW.


I thought we asked you not to mediate any more cases for MedCab. --] 22:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
There were four other editors who were anti-LaRouche but did not take part in the edit war: SlimVirgin, Will Beback, 172, and Cberlet.


:Yep, completely agree with Ideogram, you were asked not to take any more cases and you ]. ] 23:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
In addition, there was one pro-LaRouche editor, ManEatingDonut, who was permanently banned by SlimVirgin and is therefore no longer in the equation.


::Following your email, I reiterate that you were requested by the previous MedCab co-ordinators not to take any more cases. Given the present circumstances where you opened a case without discussion, I am disinclined to accept that your conduct has improved. ] 13:30, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Finally, the most recent addition to the talk page is from Pascal.Tesson, who is neutral on LaRouche but says the article suffers from an extreme case of Conflict of Interest, because so much of it was written by extreme opponents of LaRouche. I agree. Check out his post ], and then I suppose you should wade through the past two months of back-and-forth on the talk page. I hope that this summary of events was useful. --] 07:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

==Indo-Aryan migration==
What is the difference between a "chatpage" and a talkpage? I find that too much time is wasted with idle chatter on ''talk'' pages already. If you want to move the article, you should make a proposal on talk, preferably after familiarizing yourself with the topic. If you find I am in violation of OWN, you should take up the matter with me directly, and failing that, open a user conduct RfC. If I "OWNed" the article in any way, it would have been cleaned up months ago. But since I recognize that the article cannot be "owned", it will probably remain broken indefinitely. The policy in question is ]. I am well aware of scholarly mainstream opinion on the matter. The article is under constant attack from editors who either cannot understand or do not want to respect WP's principle of ] means that views are presented in proportion to their academic notability. I realize that the topic is not ''only'' academic, and that it plays an unfortunate role in Indian religious nationalist propaganda. This is why we have ] which has the sole purpose of documenting the political side of the topic. We do get an endless influx of Hindu propagandist editors bent on misrepresenting academic opinion. WIN is just a comparatively harmless example of these. The only thing that stands between these editors and a Misplaced Pages that is instrumentalised for political propaganda is Misplaced Pages policy and the investment of editors ready to engage in anti-propaganda vigilantism. I am prepared to discuss with anyone who brings up clean academic references in good faith. I am not prepared, nor am I obliged by Misplaced Pages policy, to discuss anything else. regards, ] <small>]</small> 10:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== Military history WikiProject coordinator election ==
* Features and admins- Compiling all the promoted administrators, articles, pictures, sounds, topics, portals, etc. It sounds like a tough job, but once you get the hang of it, it'll only take 20-30 minutes. See this week's ] for an example of what you'd have to do.


The ] election has begun. We will be selecting nine coordinators from a pool of fourteen candidates to serve for the next six months. Please ] by August 28! ] 08:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
* In the news- This position will take a little more time. It basically means following news stories about Misplaced Pages, and reporting on them (not just articles that cite Misplaced Pages, because there are too many of those to get anything useful). See this week's ] for an example (although I'd really prefer the article to be longer than that, I had to publish a short version this week due to time).


== The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XVIII (August 2007) ==
However, what I'd really like most is a couple reporters to just fill in the cracks, reporting on things that don't fit into one of our features (things like Michael Snow's ] on Misplaced Pages traffic from Google, and Sam Blacketer's ] on the furor over ]). If they're big enough for a full story, they get one; if you can only make a paragraph's worth of copy out of it, you can move it into the News and notes report, which covers all the small stories. Most of these stories can be easily taken by reading and mailing lists. Also, if I see a story worth covering, I'll leave a note in the ] about it, under "special stories". If you do decide that you want to write about a story, just make a note that you'll take care of that particular story.

This is obvious LaRouche puffery, and the references don't even get close to justifying the claim. (You could not say "David Duke is highly regarded in the U.S." and then cite some nutty David Duke supporter that says he is a leading US politician.) Furthermore, the first citation is from LaRouche material (suspect, especially given the outcome of the previous LaRouche arbcom case) and the second citation simply doesn't say what LaRouche supporters say it says. -- ] 07:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

== ] Help Request April 2014 ==
:My removal of the line, "He is reported to be highly regarded in Russia and China" is why Tsunami Butler started the initial arbitration request. I think reviewing that statement and reviewing the sources is very instructive because it shows the silly POV puffery and sloppy research that pro-LaRouche editors often have engaged in. What does this line even mean? I think an interesting discussion on the influence of LaRouche was given by DKing on the talk page...
::"...I think the facts will show indisputably that the LaRouche movement has gained access to and varying degrees of influence with well-known and even quite powerful people in various countries at various times as well as garnering a large amount of media attention from the press in developing countries, where LaRouche's claims to be an important U.S. political leader are often taken at face value. The foreign press and apparently some foreign public figures (such as Dr. Mahathir of Malaysia) are attracted to his conspiracy theories and his criticisms of U.S. and Israeli policy. Foreign governments have also demonstrated interest in some of the elaborate and imaginative development plans that his EIR think tank churns out--for instance, EIR's promotion of the Kra Canal plan, which garnered LaRouche much publicity and government access in Thailand for some years. LaRouche has also gathered a respectful audience by his habit of boning up on the scientific and cultural achievements of the country he visits; in a speech in Moscow several years ago, LaRouche praised the work of several distinguished Soviet era scientists who are almost unknown in the West. This could not but have caused intellectuals in the audience with a nationalist bent to give him the benefit of the doubt in spite of whatever criticisms of his ideology they might have read. I think we need to distinguish between the following: (1) short-range relationships of mutual political usefulness with governments and powerful people (who often distance themselves from LaRouche when the relationship proves embarrassing); (2) relationships with senior citizens who once were powerful and/or influential but have latched onto LaRouchism in their dotage; (3) influence based on one or two issues (such as fusion energy or Latin American debt cancellation) but not on LaRouche's underlying ideology; (4) alliances of convenience (the enemy of my enemy is my friend) with notorious people such as Manuel Noriega, who called for LaRouche's release from prison while himself incarcerated; and (5) genuine longterm ideological influence (i.e., buying into LaRouche's world view). LaRouche's followers can easily provide examples of (1) through (4) from the mainstream media without relying on EIR (which makes me think the above dispute is basically an attempt to create a precedent for accepting EIR as a Misplaced Pages source). As to (5)--examples of lasting ideological influence with important public figures other than elderly retirees--this seems to be as rare as the ivory-billed woodpecker, but if LaRouche's followers can document such examples from reputable sources, I for one would like to hear about it.--Dking 00:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)"

== New deal for page patrollers ==


Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},
== Deletion by Dab in Sarasvati River for ref. sentences ==


In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the ] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.
Please check http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Sarasvati_River&diff=114746860&oldid=114729960 for my additions in ] article. They are well ref. and taken almost straight from the writer. Then also Dab is deleting in the name of `grammatical'. Dab is deleting as they gives those informations which can give reader better understanding about whole subject ( but that is unpleasing to AIT/IAM theory supporters like Dab ).


Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
So, I urge you to check it and write about it in the talk page. ] 11:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


Find out more about this exiting new user right now at ] and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. ] (]) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Farewell

To all my friends; Due to my many horrible actions, I have found it impossible for me to continue to edit under this persona. I hope that all those I have caused grief can somehow find it in their hearts to forgive me, even though that may not be possible. Geo.plrd is therefore no more, but i will return as another, starting anew and hopefully gaining the trust of the community. I humbly request that all my userpages be left intact for personal reasons.

The article Hofuptti Tribe has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

MedCab

I thought we asked you not to mediate any more cases for MedCab. --Ideogram 22:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yep, completely agree with Ideogram, you were asked not to take any more cases and you resigned. Addhoc 23:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Following your email, I reiterate that you were requested by the previous MedCab co-ordinators not to take any more cases. Given the present circumstances where you opened a case without discussion, I am disinclined to accept that your conduct has improved. Addhoc 13:30, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I guess Essjay wasn't as good an addition to the committee as you thought.

I have decided to help with the Secret Socieites page and I was wondering if you would like to come back and help me continue it. Also, could find someone (or if you know how) to make a userbox for the project?

Charles de Gaulle

Not sure whether this is the right place ... sorry if it is not. Could I ask that the article on Charles de Gaulle be looked at again? For a long time there has been a banner about a lack of citations; however, I feel that the citation issue has largely been addressed and would ask that the banner be removed. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. Mikeo1938 (talk) 22:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

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.

Shhh! We're sneaking up on the vandals. Got your guns?


Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Misplaced Pages:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Misplaced Pages:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Misplaced Pages:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Geoff Plourde,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
