Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/ronjohn

Hello Ronjohn. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Misplaced Pages editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship, Misplaced Pages:Adminship is not for new users, and Misplaced Pages:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

If you are determined to run for adminship despite my advice, you will need to transclude your RfA at WP:RFA by following the instructions at WP:RFA/N. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Failure to listen to wise counsel would not only torpedo this RFA, but any future one. Actually running for RFA when you don't meet even the most minimum of criteria would probably add another 12,000 required edits and at least a year before you could even think of trying again. RFA is not a big deal - but the community is pretty serious about how it selects admins (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 22:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Seriously, Ronjohn, you really have to read WP:NOTNOW. While policy doesn't explicitly say it, you will look pretty bad if you don't.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I noticed you put your RfA inside of someone else's RfA, which I've undone. I see other editors above have suggested you might want to wait until you have more experience before you request adminship; I agree with them 100% and hope you will listen to their advice. 28bytes (talk) 00:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I'll give you 24hrs to properly transclude your RFA. If after that it's still non-transcluded, we can readily assume it can be deleted. It's been "in progress" long enough (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 23:41, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

RfA

If you want to activate your request for adminship, you need to go to this page and place:

{{Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Ronjohn}}

under the section that ends:

---- <!-- Please leave this horizontal rule and place rfa transclusion below - -->

Speedy deletion nomination of Max Hardberger

A tag has been placed on Max Hardberger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of V-Nasty

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on V-Nasty requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. →Στc. 00:54, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at V-Nasty

Hi Ronjohn, you recently removed a deletion tag from V-Nasty. Because Misplaced Pages policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of BAYTL

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BAYTL requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

Speedy deletion nomination of V-Nasty

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on V-Nasty, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jimmy Henchman

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jimmy Henchman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Proposed deletion of Jimmy Henchman

The article Jimmy Henchman has been proposed for deletion because, under Misplaced Pages policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bihco (talk) 14:18, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

RfA closed per WP:NOTNOW

I'm sorry, but I have closed your RfA early. I hope you don't take this personally, because if you were to continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages in a positive manner, you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. Good luck! Bmusician 04:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

This is somewhat unfortunate. WP:NOTNOW is really intended for situations in which an inexperienced editor strays into RFA without knowing what they are getting into. Ronjohn was given ample warning that his RFA had little chance of success but was insistent that it went ahead. I had hoped the RFA would have been allowed to run long enough to make it clear that the intention behind the advice offered was genuine.

Catfish Jim and the soapdish 09:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Both ronjohn and I have asked Bmusician to undo the early close (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:38, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

RfA reopened

Per your request, I have reopened your RfA. Best of luck. Also, please don't use capital letters on my talk page...that can be perceived as shouting... Bmusician 09:53, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Your recent RfA

I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 842 edits on Misplaced Pages; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.

I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Misplaced Pages editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! —Tom Morris (talk) 14:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ronjohn. I notice that you requested that your RfA was kept open when it had previously been closed. Tom closed it as it was definitely not going to pass, meaning that keeping it open is disruptive - effectively using the ignore all rules clause which one of Misplaced Pages's principles. I was in the process of doing exactly the same myself, but got called away from my desk.

This doesn't mean that you will never become an administrator, but I think you'll need to change your attitude a little before you do become one. And even if you don't, there's plenty to do here instead. If you'd like to discuss things further, feel free to give me a shout. Cheers Worm · (talk) 14:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Per your message on Tom Morris' talk page:

You are being treated the same as anyone else. It is in nobody's interest to keep an RFA open when it is clear it has no chance whatsoever to succeed. The initial WP:NOTNOW was applied prematurely, given your apparent refusal to accept the advice offered by others that it would not succeed. After 23 opposes and no supports, WP:SNOW is clearly in effect. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey Ronjohn. I'm sorry this has worked out so badly for you. Can I just say, here and now, there was absolutely nothing wrong with you submitting that RfA. Anyone wanting to take that up, can take it up with me. You do not need any "approval" from anyone to run for RfA. However, it was doomed to failure - as a number of editors have told you. These editors have watched many RfAs, and can see general trends. In fact, I've done a lot of research on RfA, which can be found at RfA Reform. When it is clear that something is going to fail, we do stop the process, because there is no good reason to carry it on - which is something that's happened here. Now, we let it run for a while to show it was going to fail, but carrying it on for a week would just be bureaucracy for the sake of it. This would be true for any editor, and I can give you a number of examples if you like.

With regards to the "attitude" comment, (at least in theory) Misplaced Pages is a community, no one voice is more important than others. It's the points that are made that matter. However, when one voice ignores what the community as a whole is telling them, it causes disruption. That doesn't mean you are wrong, or that you have to lie about your views, but what it does mean is that you have to accept that the rest of the community is saying and give it a rest. I've got your page watchlisted, I'll try to help out if I can. Worm · (talk) 07:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Sarge - Barnstars for you!

Sarge, You've been doing some good edits, so a hefty Barnstarr to, you! Gimme a call and we can work on wiki projects as you indicated — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 22:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

1776blackpantherMAG (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I did nothing wrong I was told by a Misplaced Pages editor that I could use youtube as a reference here: "Because we don't allow youtube videos as reliable sources, it would only be of use if it was Lola herself saying "I was a stripper". If she was a stripper, there will be a real source out there somewhere. I will say it again, revert yourself immediately--Jac16888 00:08, 24 March 2012 (UTC)" and I did just that with a bit of coatracking, but I didn't know what coatracking was until after, so when another editor changed my edit a bit I left it alone then another editor came by and removed it all together with no explanation or discussion. Bwilkins has been targeting me ever since I put a RFA in. I'm not sure why.

Decline reason:

You were blocked for edit-warring. You do not seem to understand what edit-warring is. Please familiarize yourself with WP:Edit warring. No unblock request will be successful if you insist you did nothing wrong despite the clear evidence in the article history that you did. 28bytes (talk) 14:22, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Sarge, the rest of us have your back. Your rationale speaks to the good in all men. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Christopher Dorner

Ronjohn, please wait for a consensus before restoring Christopher Jordan Dorner.

As I pointed out to you, under WP:PERP:

A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Misplaced Pages article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person.

Therefore, any information on Dorner should be placed in the existing 2013 Southern California shootings article, because Dorner is not known for anything outside the shootings, and he is directly relevant to the article.

Furthermore, WP:PERP says the following:

A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until this is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured.

Dorner's guilt has not been proven by a court of law. He has only been named as the suspect in the shootings. To create an article on him implies that he is guilty before he has had a chance to stand trial.

Now, to address your point about James Eagen Holmes, who has a page despite only being known for his crime.

Firstly, Holmes has been formally charged and ordered to stand trial. Dorner, on the other hand, is currently a fugitive. His guilt has not been proven; for all we know, someone killed him a month ago and took advantage of his emotional state to write up a phony manifesto and carry out a spree killing against the LAPD. I know that sounds like bad fiction (it's straight off the top of my head), but we can't prove that it is not the case. The page on Dorner should not be created until such time as he is committed to stand trial. To create a page beforehand presumes that he is guilty, which is not the way the legal system works - even if the case against Dorner never examines Misplaced Pages.

Secondly, the current version of Holmes' page weighs in at 41,217kB. In other words, there is more than enough content on that page to justify a split from the 2012 Aurora shootings article. On the other hand, your work on a Dorner page is just 1,210kB. Compared to Holmes, we know nothing almost about Dorner.

Finally, I feel I should inform you that constantly reverting the edits to Christopher Jordan Dorner so that it is its own page (rather than a redirect) is edit-warring, and may get you referred to the adminstrators and possibly blocked from editing. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 07:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

1) The discussion to gather consensus is here.

2) We cannot create a page for Dorner on the basis that he might be killed before he stands trial. That is a case of trying to predict the future, which is not what Misplaced Pages is for.

3) There is nothing known about Dorner that cannot go in the article about his alleged crimes.

4) Of course I'm not an admin. I wouldn't be an admin even if they paid me to do it.

In the meantime, I have put in a request for page protection on the Dorner "article". Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I requested that you stop editing the page to form an article of its own, and instead go to Talk:Christopher Jordan Dorner to discuss creating a full page there. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Walk with Me (Rotimi album) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Walk with Me (Rotimi album), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources.

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your RFA

Hi Ronjohn,

as you may have noticed at WP:ORCP, attempting a RFA right now would be a lost cause. And would likely actually engender some ill will against you. Would you like me to delete the RFA page you created? If you decide to try again after addressing some of the problems described at WP:NOTYET, you can always recreate one in the future. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm trying to be polite and yet still be clear. There is a zero percent chance of your RFA passing right now. You don't have 1/10th the minimum expected edit count. Please read the advice in the section below, and the advice in WP:NOTYET. If you try to start it anyway, it will be closed by someone else in a couple of hours, and people will think poorly of you - because your judgement in starting it would be bad - and that opinion could linger for quite a while. That would be a shame, and a waste. So your choices are basically:

1. Start the RFA anyway, and it will tank.
2. Ask an admin to delete it, and then it will be as if you never created it.
3. Ask an admin to move it to your user space, and then you can work on in sometime in the future (to be honest, I'm thinking a minimum of 1-2 years).
4. Continue to not respond, and the MFD will likely result in option 2 or 3.

I'd recommend options 2 or 3 equally, whichever you like better. Please let me know (or any admin, if you prefer dealing with someone else). --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

RfA requirements

Having labeled this section as I have, I should go on to say that while there are no firmly laid down requirements, there are a number of expectations held by users here; failing on these will very seriously impede your approval as an admin. You have made only a little over one thousand edits; most editors here expect to see around five thousand manual edits on your record. And your editing rate is roughly on average one edit every three days. Using edit summaries is not mandatory, but certainly is recommended. you only add a summary in about 20% of your edits. It is expected that you will spend some time in admin-related areas, such as AfD, CSD, AIV, etc. I understand that your military duties may leave insufficient time to devote enough to Misplaced Pages. If this is so perhaps you should delay further application until you have more time to devote to the encyclopedia.----Anthony Bradbury 22:10, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Moomoo Inc.

Hello, Ronjohn. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Moomoo Inc., a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Ronjohn

Hello, Ronjohn,

An editor tagged this for deletion as an abandoned RFA but I untagged it and thought I'd ask you whether you would like this page deleted. Let me know. Liz 21:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Yeah delete that shit. Ron John (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Moomoo Inc.

Hello, Ronjohn. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Moomoo Inc.".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 04:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Emmit Till body.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Emmit Till body.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

WebPros moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to WebPros (company). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Frost 17:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: WebPros (company) (July 24)

Hello, 1776blackpantherMAG! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Misplaced Pages where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! C F A 💬 22:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of WebPros

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on WebPros requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. bonadea contributions talk 15:13, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024

Hello 1776blackpantherMAG. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to WebPros, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Misplaced Pages's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Misplaced Pages must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Misplaced Pages. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Misplaced Pages is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:1776blackpantherMAG. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=1776blackpantherMAG|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. C F A 💬 15:33, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
