==]==
I am posting this comment for the purposes of public record. A number of editors, among them senior WP admins, have communicated with me to identify the above as a single-purpose troll account. In the spirit of not feeding the trolls, and in anticipation of an indefinite block being applied to said account, I will no longer respond to, or consider as valid any communication posted using the "Milomedes" account, as its sole purpose is the active disruption of Misplaced Pages. Should any administrator require clarification or further information on this subject they should contact me privately via email. --] 21:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:Do you have any proof of that? --] (]) 07:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
::Of course I do.
::In my private communications with a well-known senior admin, the "Milomedes" account was explicitly referred to by the other party as not only an "obvious" troll account, but also a "particularly nasty" manifestation of the species. The context of the comments also seems to infer that this admin is not alone in having arrived at this conclusion.
::A second editor has found it necessary to warn the "Milomedes" account against posting comments that constitute obvious trolling on at least one occasion.
::A third editor is in no doubt that the way in which the "Milomedes" account is used inherently, persistently and deliberately to propagate extensive civility-based discord with other editors as well as generating ongoing disruption of Misplaced Pages, over long periods of time, constitutes clear evidence of systemic abuse. The editor has identified the "Milomedes" account as being used to introduce massive volumes of largely indecipherable talk page content into discussions. This filibustering technique actively discourages time-poor and univolved editors from contributing to the consensus-building process, helping to turn spectacularly trivial points of contention into epic, intractable, months-long campaigns of labyrinthine complexity. "Milomedes" typically casts these vast, disruptive episodes as some sort of apocalypic war pitting the forces of darkness (anyone who disagrees with the POV Milomedes supports) against the forces of light (Milomedes). Editors whose opinions are not aligned with Milomedes' are subjected to relentless bouts of incivility and personal attack in the context of these battles. If they are articulate/experienced they find themselves slapped with accusations of COI and civility abuses. The less articulate/experienced are sneeringly informed that since their opinions so obviously lack the profound depth of philosophical understanding and incisive intellectual capacity with which Milomedes has been blessed, and which he has so generously and unselfishly made it his mission to bestow upon WP, they really should, to paraphrase, 'just run along now and let the grownups sort this one out'. "Milomedes" apparently does not consider this sort of discussion technique to be classifiable as an abuse of ], because in the "Milomedes" universe, telling other editors that they're intellectually inferior to "Milomedes" and don't really know what they're talking about anyway is actually doing them some sort of favour.
::Finally, a personal investigation which I recently concluded and subsequently referred to an uninvolved third party editor for further analysis, seems to indicate a strong correlation between several of the accounts investigated. This suggests that there may be at least some truth to the longstanding sockpuppet / meatpuppet abuse allegations that numerous editors have made about Milomedes. They certainly warrant more granular analysis, and that process is presently being pursued via the appropriate channels. --] (]) 14:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm attempting to track down an Arabic-speaking editor for some assistance on an article we're looking at as part of an Article for Deletion debate. The article, ], appears to be entirely in Arabic. I'd love to see the article translated, but I'll settle for some indication that the article is worth translating as written, or whether it should be deleted in favor of a fresh start in english. Your user page indicates that you speak Arabic, and you appear to be active - could you have a look for us? If you're too busy, no trouble. Either way, thanks for your time.

== UT and Atlantium ==

Need I say it? Sure I do. You outdid yourself again with UT 682. Have you played Burmer and Brennan before? That's what I call ''headphone music''; it's just not the same on speakers, although I did try listening to it on an iPod alarm clock, and it sounded fine. I don't think it's possible to hear the texture and nuance ''without'' good headphones. This particular music reminds me of the best ambient film scores. BTW, don't forget about sources for EoA, or even UT for that matter, as I'm chomping at the bit to get started. &mdash;] | ] 12:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

== Sealand ==

I thought the new editor was genuinely interested in cleaning up the Sealand article and making it Featured, which is why I spent a lot of time cleaning out old cruft, marking the potentially bad references, copyediting etc. Unfortunately I'm now beginning to believe he's working to an agenda, which is that Sealand is a state. That's really too bad, because if he can't see the big picture he arguably shouldn't be editing the article at all. --] (]) 20:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

== Another sockpuppet of you know who? ==

Hi David. I wonder if you wouldn't mind looking at the contributions of ] on the talk page of ]. This new editor appeared a little while ago, and as the weeks have passed his comments have become less and less coherent/rational, and more and more troll-like - to the point where they now seem to resemble those of you-know-who, to a rather uncanny degree. Let me know what you think. --] (]) 06:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

:I spent a few minutes looking it over. I don't honestly think he has anything to do with Johnski, however I think the person who is editing the article is highly involved in PoS in some way or another. The user does have the same talk in circles mentality though. That's got to be a headache. ] (]) 10:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

::No - I'm not a sockpuppet of any user. And also I'm not trying to rewrite the article to say that Sealand is a state, I just thought that the first paragraph was not completely accurate - and I wasn't about to let it be controlled by those that support the opinion "Sealand is a micronation". This is an assumption, but the Misplaced Pages users that edit the article who consider Sealand nothing more than a micronation probably greatly outnumber the people who consider Sealand a state - I have seen this before.

::On the same day as the above was posted I suggested using a solution that has been used for the past week with success. Maybe this could solve the problem? ] (]) 15:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

== ArbCom ==

In the event that it does go to ArbCom, I want to be notified. Basically, that's it. Also, it gives me a chance to make a statement. I was a party to the discussion of how that editor insisted that Sealand was a part of the scope of the European Micronations Project, and how the stamping of passports by a few countries was proof of being a microstate. I would certainly consider at least adding that information to the statement as well.

==Dispute resolution==
As an uninvolved administrator I have left ] a rather lengthy disruption warning. The present dispute hardly seems worthy of ArbCom. If you or any observers have any evidence that suggests any sort of bad faith editing, such as sock puppetry by a banned user, please let me know.

Additionally, it would help resolve the situation if you avoided calling Onecanadasquarebishopsgate a vandal, troll, POV pusher, etc. ] is just an essay.

==Micronations==

Hello, I know that there has been a dispute for the past two months, but ever since the dispute resolution has been restored there has been a lot of progress with the micronation articles and the discussion pages, so I don't think the dispute needs to continue anymore. I do have a question about Atlantium - the capital of Atlantium has been moved to Concordia - yet I don't understand how Atlantian territory exists Would that not mean seccession from Australia as it is Australian land, or is that land more like an embassy or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta?

==Good article==


After creating those tables I think that the Atlantium article can be, after some more improvement, nominated for good article status (probably better to get good article status first, then eventually featured article status). Atlantium's website has plenty of information and images that could benefit the article, but some of the images require permission. Can I use those images? Since you are the Emperor, I think that your contribution to this will gain the article good article or even featured article status.

== Johnski Part 378 == == ] ==


Hi Gene, I think in dealing with this article we need only deal with the obvious outstanding content issues. If what you say about said editor is true, I would personally avoid engaging in any debate other than that which relates directly to policy, and the manner in which this article deviates from stated guidelines. I was threading softly becasue I realise the points I'm raising will seem contentious to some. I haven't looked at all the published sources cited, other that the 10 pages dedicated to 'space music' in Lanza (1994) but that was enough for me to see that there are some glaring omissions and many inaccuracies in the article. I wasn't aware of the HOS radio program before seeing the article but having looked up the website I now see it is a commercial operation, this automatically undermines all of the cited material taken from this site - it was already problematic insofar as it is self-published. I think a drastic cutting back of citations and removal of synthetic material is inevitable. I would suggest waiting for further responses to the tagging before taking action. ] (]) 20:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

This is going to be messy. ] (]) 22:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
::Well I had never heard of this HOS show, but in the UK & Europe 'space music' is the English translation of 'kosmische musik' which is interchangeable with 'krautrock', I would refer to what HOS are doing as largely 'New Age music' at least judging by some of the music they are endorsing. ] (]) 01:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Its clear both you and Davidpdx have paid no direct attention to my edits on the solkope page because then perhaps you would have noticed '''my edits pertain not only to DOM but also to the geographic nature of Solkope which is pertinent,unbiased and could certainly be left'''. I'm not interested in a petty editing war: read my edits and you will see the sense in them. Look at my contribution history!

::I humbly beseech that both you and Davidpdx desist from these needless editing of my work on Solkope. My statement about the ABSENCE of DOM on Rotuma couldn't be further from DOM propaganda. The reality of the situation is that people who called themselves DOM went to Rotuma and tricked a lot of people, before being found out for what they were and ejected from the island. That actually happened and it deserves to be reported on the page. Reporting these facts is not an endorsement of DOM (personally, as a relative of some of the disenfranchised victims I am far from a supporter) but rather a goal of this fine website and community.

AfD SM Lifestyle Center

I'm baffled by your comment on this AfD. I looked in Mandarin and couldn't easily find reliable sources. Moreover, it's a small mall by SM standards: it turned out to be one-quarter of the originally estimated size, and their smallest mall in China. Was the language in my Merge comment confusing? Matt's talk 10:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

My comments supporting retention of a discrete article on the above subject refer to the prior comments of Blanchardb and Edison, which suggest that citable sources about the mall exist, and that the mall itself is the largest in the district in which it's located. --Gene_poole (talk) 18:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Space music

Hi Gene, I think in dealing with this article we need only deal with the obvious outstanding content issues. If what you say about said editor is true, I would personally avoid engaging in any debate other than that which relates directly to policy, and the manner in which this article deviates from stated guidelines. I was threading softly becasue I realise the points I'm raising will seem contentious to some. I haven't looked at all the published sources cited, other that the 10 pages dedicated to 'space music' in Lanza (1994) but that was enough for me to see that there are some glaring omissions and many inaccuracies in the article. I wasn't aware of the HOS radio program before seeing the article but having looked up the website I now see it is a commercial operation, this automatically undermines all of the cited material taken from this site - it was already problematic insofar as it is self-published. I think a drastic cutting back of citations and removal of synthetic material is inevitable. I would suggest waiting for further responses to the tagging before taking action. Semitransgenic (talk) 20:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

OK well I can see this is a somewhat sensitive issue then. The way I see it, that is, relative to my understanding of how various genre definitions have evolved, inaccuracies exist in the article, the historical assessment is somewhat muddled, and I now understand the point you make about the HOS influence. This is going to be messy. Semitransgenic (talk) 22:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Well I had never heard of this HOS show, but in the UK & Europe 'space music' is the English translation of 'kosmische musik' which is interchangeable with 'krautrock', I would refer to what HOS are doing as largely 'New Age music' at least judging by some of the music they are endorsing. Semitransgenic (talk) 01:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gene, it seems your assessment was correct, my WP:GF efforts were wasted. Said user bluntly refuses to deal with the content dispute in a constructive fashion and seeks only to lower the tone of proceedings with juvenile taunts. Would you mind offering your opinion here so user:Will Beback can get an idea of the pattern of behavior on the 'space music' article. I suggest we move forward by posting on WP:NORN, WP:RSN and WP:RFC. Do you have any suggestions? Semitransgenic (talk) 04:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gene, in an effort to try and move things forward, would you be prepared to put your differences with Milo aside so we can all try and tease out matters relating to the HOS source? I am suggesting the first step be a WP:RSN posting before editing continues. If we could begin some kind of civil discussion on the talk page that would be a positive step, how does that meet with you? Semitransgenic (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
OK thanks, lets see what comes of this, hopefully we can hammer something out that we are all be happy with. Cheers. Semitransgenic (talk) 00:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Space music MedCab

Hi there! You have been named as a participant in an informal mediation regarding the article Space music, which I am mediating. I would like you to drop by the case page and indicate whether or not you agree to participate in the case. Please know that participation in the case doesn't mean you've done anything wrong! It's just a way to take everyone involved in a dispute away from whatever has caused the dispute and discuss the issues with a third party helping to keep the conversation on track. I look forward to working with you to address the problems and resolve them. //roux   10:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

WP:V and Blue Mountains panther‎

Just as a reminder:

  • WP:V: "Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed."

and its subsection

  • WP:BURDEN: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation."

It is clearly up to you to do the citing if you wish that material in the article. I am asking you to either undue your edit returning improperly sourced material, or for you to properly source the materisl. And also be aware of : WP:3RR. -- The Red Pen of Doom 13:47, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I do believe that you are not interpreting our policies correctly. Removing unsourced and improperly sourced material is not vandalism. But returning unsourced and improperly sourced material is. -- The Red Pen of Doom 15:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Please read WP:CITE - simply making a bunch of claims and then stating that one of thise many links here at the bottom should verify that claim, is not proper sourcing. Each claim in the article must be verifiable by noting which reliable source supports that particular claim. and repeating our policy: the editor who adds or restores material is responsible for providing the proper inline citation to support the claims. -- The Red Pen of Doom 15:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Your statement "There is no WP policy which states that it is appropriate to delete links to as-yet uncited sources then immediately blank article content, without either prior talk page discussion or appropriate tagging" is wrong. WP:V: "Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed." - without a source, material in an article can be removed with no tagging and no discussion. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Arms Aramoana.GIF

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Arms Aramoana.GIF. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

File source problem with File:Nan Tien Temple 01a.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Nan Tien Temple 01a.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:VirtualSteve. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Given the notice at the top of your talk page "Personal attacks, harrassment, trolling, incivility, threats and all other forms of abuse will be removed from this page without comment", this comment here is interesting. I guess everyone else has to follow your rules, but you are free to be as incivil as you like. WP:NPA applies to everyone, even you. Mattinbgn (talk) 02:46, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

After more than five years as a valued contributor to the WP project I ceased being a part of the community on 16 September 2009, when User:VirtualSteve applied a 3 month block to my account on wildly spurious, entirely manufactured grounds, which were concocted by he and small group of other similarly malevolent admins. As such, WP policies are no longer of any concern to me. However, for his systemic misapplication of WP policy and general abuse of admin authority, Virtual Steve deserves every bit of the contempt with which I have today elected to greet his long-overdue resignation from the project. Have a nice day. --Gene_poole (talk) 03:42, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
For the record: --Gene_poole (talk) 03:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that while you continue to post here you remain part of this community and still are required to follow the basic behavioral rules that everyone else does. If you do not want to follow those rules and don't consider yourself part of the community, then don't post here. There are many other venues where you can attack others to your hearts content.

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil 12:10, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Blue Mountains panther

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 Blue Mountains panther 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 specific animal, but it 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 removed 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. —PermStrump(talk) 05:28, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:JRG/Flags of micronations

Hello, Gene Poole. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Flags of micronations".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. 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. 10 03:02, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
