Looks like our ] is on its way to FL status. Let me ask your opinion on another list &ndash; ]. I recently created this list with the intent of bringing it to FL, but held off on the nom because I thought the lead was too short. However, no one seems to have mentioned this as a problem in the nom for ], which also has a very short lead. Do you think this list has a chance of making FL? ] 21:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:The only holdups I can see on ] would be if someone said the lead was too short or if someone complained about the red-linked amendment. Do you have enough information to stub that in?

Hi Golbez!


== ''The Signpost'': 2 March 2024 ==
You've done a really nice job on ]. It's really impressive. However, I wonder if you wouldn't consider making some changes to it. It appears you used ] for the basis of the map, but British Columbia is drawn with its modern-day boundaries (with no ] (1867-1903)). On the east coast, it isn't shown that there was a Labrador Boundary dispute; Labrador should be marked as maroon (disputed) from 1912 to 1927, and a small strip of Labrador on its southern border from 1927 to 1949 (or present day). I realize the disputed Alaska boundary would be hard to show, as it's rather narrow, but at least a label with an arrow could make it stand out, and all but a mile of coastal Labrador was disputed from 1912-1927, so it should be colored maroon. Can you fix these? <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 12:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for the (incredibly swift!) response, Golbez. The 1949 Labrador boundary decision was odd because Newfoundland was granted more land than it had even claimed in the boundary dispute, and Quebec still apparently claims that southern Labrador strip. Thanks for considering some map modifications. It really is a great map. Best wishes and happy editing, <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 12:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Andrew,


Hi,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture ] is due to make an appearance as ] on {{#time:F j, Y|2007-08-01}}. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at ]. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">''']''' <small>{]}</small></span> 23:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:
== ] ==


1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?
Hi Golbez, how are you? Please, I would like to ask, if you have time, for a quick peer review of ]. Btw, any copyediting would be greatly appreciated to cover my dismal English. :-) Thanks!--] 05:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks for your edits :-). I plan to put it in FLC this week. What did you think about the list?--] 14:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.

== United States historical maps, again ==


Hi, Hi,


I noticed that your new Pacific Ocean maps aren't to the same scale as the others. Would you be willing to make a series of maps of just Hawaii to the same scale as the others?
I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Boston College, and I am researching the development of the Misplaced Pages article on the Virginia Tech Massacre. You were among the top 2% of editors for that article, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to answer a few questions by email. Please also indicate at the bottom if you’d be willing to participate in a short follow-up phone/Skype interview as well.

Thanks in advance! ] (]) 01:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't mean to be rude, and I know it'll probably take a while, but are you working on the labeled maps? It's been quite a while since you uploaded the last corrected change map.

== Using your map ==


Hi Golbez,
== Colours ==
I swapped two illustrative colours as pink is not appropriate and you had an issue with red. Pink is not appropriate. You said it was just for illustration so I swapped. "pinko" and other epithets have bben used and I suspect the choice for the republican was not by accident. Red, blue or green are all acceptable. Pink and yellow are not. These are political parties and it's silly to ignore that these colors have meaning. Please pick another color that doesn't have an inherently offensive interpretation. --] 03:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
:Not kidding and since it was not offensive to you, why did you revert? I would have thought that a swap would be fine if you didn't really care, but you did care enough to revert the swap. republicans have found it offensive and have made it known to me and I agree that a more neutral color is called for (Neutral as in Neutral Point of View). The ''colour'' pink is not offensive. "pink" in the political context IS offensive and it's pretty obvious since ] is considered a political epithet. Use pink to highlight numbers on a balance sheet, don't use it to make a political statement about a political party. Find another color. Don't care which. red or blue is historical. Pink is offensive. Yellow would be considered offensive as well. Don't insult my intelligence by pretending that color has no meaning in political or national contexts. Political parties and nations identify with these colors. Please don't offend them by using non-neutral or colors they find offensive. Its no skin off your no nose if it means nothing to you, so why oppose other editors attempts at neutrality? --] 03:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
::No colours are offensive to me. I just recognize that pink and yellow would be offensive to either republicans or democrats in the U.S. Democrats would be mad if they were portrayed as pink. Pink and progressive have some historical ties though (at least in the U.S., e.g. Code Pink ). Did you read the ] article? Red and Blue are historical colors and national colors and would not be offensive to either Republicans or Democrats. Acknowledging that colors have political overtones as you did with your cute rhyme, why would you oppose neutrality? Again, if the colours hold no meaning to you, why do you oppose changing them to a neutral color? Do you not see how the color might be perceived as non-neutral? --] 04:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
:::You are wrong again and your lack of AGF is disappointing. I was contacted by a person who would have a COI if he edited. I have never even seen the shaded articles before the complaint was made. Like it or not, the association of colors exist. Yellow and pink are unacceptable. Red and Blue are historical. No one will care if it's green or other non-offensive color. I don't understand why you don't want to accomodate such an easy neutrality request. This is not an extraordinary request. In politics, image is everything so I don't see what you are opposed to. We accomodate requests such as this all the time. See ] as well. --] 13:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Why are you edit warring over colours you say you don't care about? --] 04:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to say, great job on the map but, ]. I don't mean to be annoying or rude but your portrayal of Labrador is flawed.

:I don't at all claim to be an expert on the subject, but what I do know is that the boundaries of Pre-1949 Labrador shown in the Atlas of Canada referenced, were established by the proclamation of 1763, and due to misreading of the law, eventually allowed Labrador to claim title to land as far inland as the watersheds of rivers that run into Labrador and drained into the Atlantic and St. Lawrence. The 1927 boundary commission as far as I understand, agreed that Labrador was entitled to these claims and advised the King, but honestly I don't see evidence the new boundary was implemented until Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949, but I could be wrong, perhaps contemporary periodicals from that era would hold the answer. --] 09:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Years ago, an editing war broke out over ]. Kian, who has no connection to the project and has never used it, decided to edit it, accusing the developers of using GPL'd code and "stealing" from ]. He made sure to make edits that compared SkyOS unfavourably to BeOS.
-
-
He knew nothing about SkyOS besides what he read on the website and what he heard via rumor and when this was pointed out to him, he attacked us.
-
-
I, in my ignorance, decided to tinker with his user page. This is where you come in. You asked how the dispute could be settled and I suggested that if Kian refrained from editing SkyOS, I would refrain from going anywhere near his user page. It seemed a fair enough compromise and it would call for trust on both sides.
-
-
Know what you said? You said "Kian can edit any page he wants". That's right. None of us can go to his page, but heck, Kian can edit anything. That's what promoted a couple of us to leave Misplaced Pages (including Hexydes). Until Kian got his job and didn't have time to edit Misplaced Pages he would verbally assault other people and bend the rules knowing that you'd protect him. After all he could "edit any page he wants".
-
-
Don't you see? You were more worried about vandalism than looking at the big picture, how disputes could be handled. It was my way or the highway. You vandalized his page! No compromise! See what you unleashed?

It's such a shame. ] 13:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

United States historical maps

Hi,

I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:

1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?

2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.

Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

I'd also still like you to make a Hawaii-specific series of maps with the same map scale and aspect ratio as the United States in Central North America maps.

Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
