I will arrange to meet one of the Arbitration committee or their counsel/lawyer/notaries as they wish, and I will be able to show possession all of the following officially issued non-computerized evidences held as at July 2007, in original (not scanned or photocopied): |
|
|
|
|
|
** Passport and driving license (photo ID x 2) for confirmation of real life identity, |
|
|
|
|
|
** (Unless I lose it) a copy of an expired passport with a visa stamp for a Far East country dated 1999-02-01, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A printed bank check book from a major bank with an 8 digit number whose digits total 32, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A credit/debit card from a major bank held as of July 2007 whose first and last 8 digits add up to 43 and 30 respectively, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A bank statement from a major bank showing a withdrawal dated 15 September 2006 for 35.93. |
|
|
|
|
|
I will also be able to discuss private matters which are known only to myself (FT2) and other arbcom members via email, and show such emails dating from July 2007 or earlier for verification if those others have kept copies. |
|
|
|
|
|
I may update this note as needed, but if there is contention, I will always be able to show most or all of the items listed from the original version of this note 1.00) dated 28 July 2007 UTC. |
|
|
|
|
|
The odds are good that I will be known in person to others at some point, at which time this note will probably become redundant. |
|
|
|
|
|
This is version 1.00 of my account authentication ID note, dated ~~~~~ |

I'm a Misplaced Pages ] and ] ("Arbcom") member, so if you need help, I'm one of the people to ask. |
|
|
|
|
|
As an administrator and editor, I'm a compulsive fixer of mess, so whatever I might be doing, if I see a '''project page''' that's not well laid out, a '''dispute''' that's getting heated because people aren't talking civilly and thinking about policy instead of personality, or an '''article''' that's a bit of a disorganized heap of text, I can't help it... it's a case of "let's go see if we can't offer a hand, get the stress down." In general, I'm involved in three main areas of Misplaced Pages: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# I do a lot of '''dispute handling''' and regular '''second opinions for other administrators''' and users, including a variety of informal '''mediations''', '''dispute smoothings''' and '''other decisions'''. This includes the more difficult '''AFDs''', and cases where possible '''unfair''' treatment or '''misconduct''' is alleged. I've also taken a number of '''persistent virulent warriors and sockpuppeteers''' through dispute resolution, to Arbcom when needed. I take care to make myself available to anyone who has a need for '''wiki-help or advice''', and I get taken up on that offer regularly. |
|
|
#:: <br />''If advice on a policy, dispute, or other editorial matter is needed, please ] or ] me.''<br /> |
|
|
# I have a '''penchant for cleanup of controversial and messy articles''', especially where sourcing, balancing, encyclopedic coverage, and cleanup is at issue. I particularly like cleanup of intro's, "overviews" and section structure, and disambiguation, and I've done that on many articles. I enjoy controversial subjects because it usually isn't ''that'' difficult to create a good balance, and it's good to reduce others' stress levels. |
|
|
#:: <br />''Articles I've worked on are listed ].''<br /> |
|
|
# Last, as '''part of the community''', I stop off to help on the ], the ], the ] ticketing system, some peer review and RFC's, and ]. I'm also a regular editor and improver of '''policy pages''' and other '''reference information''' that need to be exceptionally well designed and worded, due to the reliance placed on them. |
|
|
#:: <br />''Misplaced Pages project and other pages I've worked on are listed ].'' |

I would still like to see the appearance of references and links to peer-reviewed psychological and zoological references.

FT2, I have had a difficult time here lately being accepted. I had typed it out already to them. At first, I had thought Misplaced Pages was most welcoming for all intelligent Wiki practitioners. But I have read the most childish things wrote to me these past days. One even had himself boasting to me that I was a newbie and laughed at me. This is pretty close to reaching defamatory comments. I think anyone writing such material should be permanently banned. I have spent time on Misplaced Pages writing out details that I thought would benefit the readers who come to this excellent encyclopedia site. I keep busy where I am, but I spend time reading lots of things on Misplaced Pages too. So, you could say that I'm really enthusiastic about this encyclopedia site, no big surprise! I have a pure fresh spirit that goes with my writing on Misplaced Pages. |
|
|
Late nights, I can sometimes be behind my computer keyboard fixing text and adding it as well. Wanting to participate is all I felt like doing. I have never taken away text, all I did was embrace it with additional words. |
|
|
|
|
|
Coming back to Misplaced Pages is what should be noted for because there is a lot of information to take in all at once here online. Misplaced Pages is top-notch for adding knowledge to the reader. |
|
|
I admit, I was really put off with all the negativity vibes I was getting. Misplaced Pages wasn't welcoming at all. I have felt of jaded negativity, especially the added distrust of the integrity or professed motives of Wikipedians who come on board to add something relevant. I don't think Misplaced Pages wants to be known for cynicism. |
|
|
I am a believer in Misplaced Pages, this is why I have spent hours on here adding text and neccessary citations. |
|
|
Documenting a relevant person on Misplaced Pages is a passion of mine.I am thinking that it gives Misplaced Pages much more validity with genuine thoughtful contributors. |
|
|
I have seen them on Misplaced Pages. I just can't understand why I am being the target of the month? |
|
|
All I see are harsh evolving differences in my writing. This turned into the Misplaced Pages dilemma this past week. I saw little co-operation in this matter til you and a few others spotted the presence of prolonged edits on my text. |
|
|
Issues turn into road blocks on Misplaced Pages over text that is up-to-date and relevant. Thank you for accepting me here on Misplaced Pages. I have felt tremendously isolated this past week. Thank you for looking into a few delquents who seem to relish in the redundant opportunity of vandalism. |
|
|
I appreciate your help, |

I started editing in 2004, wrote over a hundred articles, became an ], then appointed to the ] and shortly afterwards the ] in December 2007. In these roles, I have dealt with content writing, content policy, editorial disputes, community matters, privacy and sensitive issues, and a large number of fairly nasty editors and inappropriately-behaving admins. We're here as volunteers to write a reference work, which means fair handling is important. As of 2012 I'm still writing articles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I lean towards community approaches and a level field. I pushed for communal input in the ''Checkuser/Oversight appointment process'', provided the ''first on-wiki analysis'' of Checkuser tool use, and a load of others. At Arbcom itself I fought hard for better process, a formal structure for proposals to be examined and voted on, and better collaboration/workflow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of October 2009, I stepped down from some roles. I'm still round though. In 2009-10 I served on the Foundation's ], in 2010 I was asked to visit and contribute at the Foundation's ], in 2011 I was invited onto the WMF ]. In 2012 I was active in the ], primarily co-ordinating and reviewing our messages, posts, and information flow. I was also heavily involved in the 2011 - 2012 review of the site's legal ] and urged <span class="plainlinks"></span> and <span class="plainlinks"></span> the creation of the 'Draft:' namespace, eventually created in 2013. |
|

|

Areas of interest: |
|
|

I love this aspect. ] has been cited at length in a 2012 ] ] as evidence covering Misplaced Pages's self-regulation and quality control. |

I lean towards community approaches and a level field. I pushed for communal input in the Checkuser/Oversight appointment process, provided the first on-wiki analysis of Checkuser tool use, and a load of others. At Arbcom itself I fought hard for better process, a formal structure for proposals to be examined and voted on, and better collaboration/workflow.
As of October 2009, I stepped down from some roles. I'm still round though. In 2009-10 I served on the Foundation's 5 year strategy taskforce, in 2010 I was asked to visit and contribute at the Foundation's offices, in 2011 I was invited onto the WMF Communications Committee. In 2012 I was active in the SOPA community decision, primarily co-ordinating and reviewing our messages, posts, and information flow. I was also heavily involved in the 2011 - 2012 review of the site's legal Terms of Use and urged in 2009 and again in 2010 the creation of the 'Draft:' namespace, eventually created in 2013.
I also have a "real" life, and balancing the two's important. But I'm free to choose my work hours. It helps :)
I'll update this at some point. Right now the old version's just a little out of date.
