| :A fair clarification, to be sure. I still wonder, though, if it doesn't smack a little bit of "when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife," in that being a member of an interest group - even if it clearly has an agenda - doesn't automatically rob one of all ability to be balanced. Back to my original analogy, when a justice is appointed by a president, one presumes s/he will automatically stick to the "party line," but history has shown that not to always be the case.

| == ] == | |||
| Hi Frank, | |||
| I noticed that you re-added the ] disambiguation link to the top of the ] article. Please see ] for the reason why this hatnote is inappropriate in this case. The guidelines state: | |||
| ''While there is no specific prohibition against it, adding disambiguation links to a page with a name that clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term is discouraged. For example, Solaris (1972 film) is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of "Solaris". It is very unlikely that someone arriving there would have been looking for any other "Solaris", so it is unnecessary to add a link pointing to the Solaris disambiguation page. However, it would be perfectly appropriate to add a link to Solaris (novel) (but not, say, Solaris (operating system)) to its "See also" section.'' | |||
| Another clearer example of this type of hatnote error can be found ]. This is a very common error, but the rationale behind omitting these hatnotes makes sense. If we were to add these types of hatnotes, then we would have to add a link to ] at the top of every article about someone with that surname. In the case of Walter Raleigh, no one would type "Walter Raleigh" into the search bar when searching for ] or ]. | |||
| I hope I have stated my case clearly. I tend to have to straighten out this particular misunderstanding fairly often. Let me know if you have any further questions. | |||

| I think you are misunderstanding me. I think you may be afraid that I will say "I am a doctor, therefore my opinion is the final word". Nothing could be further from the truth. | |||

| Hello, ], and thank you for your recent participation in my ], which was closed per ] after reaching a vote tally of '''5/15/2'''. While I am disappointed in the outcome, I understand that it - as well as the comments left by yourself and others - was in the best interests of Misplaced Pages at this time. I plan to take everything that was written to heart and improve myself here on Misplaced Pages with a goal of perhaps accepting a nomination again in the future, should someone choose to nominate me. As a way of gathering further feedback, I have created a page in my user space for other editors to leave comments about things that they might have observed during my RfA and to continue my "education process," as it may be considered. If you would like to contribute to that page, it may be found ]. Again, thank you for participating and I appreciate your comments! --] (]) 18:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ] offers a good rationale for the move. I think it's important to note that the article was moved from ] to ] without discussion. When I raised the issue over a year ago, there was one supportive comment and no objection, so I assumed the move would be uncontroversial. ] (]) 14:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :I think ] is the more appropriate place for the article, with a redirect from Harland. ] of that page spells it out clearly, in my opinion. I think people are far more likely to search for "Colonel Sanders" than for "Harland Sanders", just as they would search for "Bill Clinton" rather than "William Jefferson Clinton." This is especially true now that he is dead and current pop-culture references to him are pretty much exclusively "Colonel Sanders". You've got the and on the menu, not to mention a of references to "Colonel" and zero for "Harland" in the shopping area. | |||
| :Sure, having a redirect solves the problem, but I think it is more appropriate (and more consistent with overall practice on Misplaced Pages) to have the main name by which a person is known be the title of the article, and then have their other name(s) in the introduction. <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">] | ]</span></small> 15:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Except that it's not a name, it's an honorific. Or, viewed another way, the references you cite suggest a persona or a character that Harland Sanders played rather than the man himself. By the same token, ] was almost universally known as ], but the latter redirects to the former. Whether one views it as an honorific or character name, however, the point remains that WP naming policy suggests they be avoided in favour of the individual's actual, best known name. I am certainly open to taking it back to the talk page for a discussion, if you feel strongly about it. ] (]) 21:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder
This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
