| == A Short Guide to ] Tactics on Misplaced Pages == | |||
| Anyone who wishes to understand the lunacy of ]-directed editors on Misplaced Pages should listen to the famous ] ]. Experience with these characters here has shown that: | |||
| * They may pretend to not understand the topic of a discussion. | |||
| * They may refuse to acknowledge the existence of verifiable data that conflicts with their point of view. | |||
| * They may falsely accuse you of a personal attack if you are able to defend your position, after they attempt to bait you. | |||
| * They may misrepresent Misplaced Pages policy and pretend their fabrications are true. | |||
| * They may attempt to change the subject of a thread if they have made a foolish statement (not uncommon) and the discussion has gone against them. | |||
| * They may ally themselves with Misplaced Pages policy makers in an attempt to change editing policy so as to make Scientology-related articles less disreputable. | |||
| * They may put nuisance comments on a discussion page, either overtly or anonymously. | |||
| * They troll discussion pages to stir up trouble. | |||
| The best solutions are to ignore or quickly end discussions with them as their malicious intentions are to waste your time and/or provoke you. Incidentally, the two ] personnel presently in charge of internet related operations are Gloria Idda and Lynn Varney. | |||

Fahrenheit451 has been an active Misplaced Pages editor since March 3, 2005. This user has a career, owns a business, and has considerable media experience, including interviewing Jimmy Wales several times. This user supports the fast track removal of admins who are abusive. All admins should be open to recall. Requests for Deadminship rarely succeed on Misplaced Pages. An admin who behaves like a Crank knows that an Arbitration Committee likely won't remove adminship. discussion
Some admins go so far to claim "community support" when they win a Request for Adminship. Such claims are not verifiable as Misplaced Pages currently has about 5.5 million registered editors. It is common for RfA to succeed with around 55 support votes. Dividing the support votes by the number of registered users quickly debunks the community support claim, which in this case would be 0.001% support and the turnout only slighly higher. In this RfA 34 out of the 74 support votes were from admins. Admins represent about 0.024% of the total number of registered Misplaced Pages editors. So, getting 45% of your support votes from admins could indicate an old boy network or elitist clique that has materialized on Misplaced Pages.
Interesting article on a formerly secret admin mailing list:
My view on the future of Misplaced Pages, 25 January 2008
The model Misplaced Pages was based on was very effective in getting it established. However, this model is not effective in maintaining it. When admins elect each other and form cliques, when admins can violate Misplaced Pages policy with impunity, and when editors are met with the possibility of article vandalism on a regular basis, the opportunity exists for Misplaced Pages to gradually decline. I think that is occuring. Anyone who is ambitious enough to use it as the basis for an encyclopedia that has stricter edit protections and more specialized and restricted powers of administrators will have a sustainable online encyclopedia.
My current view on the future of Misplaced Pages, 1 February 2009
I think the concerns that I had one year ago are actively being addressed by the English Misplaced Pages community. Since then, administrator accountability has gotten ongoing attention and vandalism is being addressed with greater concern.
My current view on the future of Misplaced Pages, 24 May 2009
Any addressing of administrator issues has only been given lip service. Administrative abuses continue. Misplaced Pages is on the road to irrelevancy.
