			<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>The article ''']''' is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to ] or whether it should be ].
	* First, take a look at the ], and perhaps dabble a bit in the ].

	* Remember to use a ]!
	* If you need any ], feel free to post a question at the ]

			The article will be discussed at ] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
	Also, here are some odds and ends useful from time to time:

			Thanks for uploading ''']'''. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the ] status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the ''exact'' source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself.

	== Dr. Andrew Wakefield ==

			== creating an article on the Brain ==
	Hello, Ombudsman. Looking over the edits made to the article, it's very clear that although they are a series of large edits, they are not vandalism. If you have any disagreement with the author, try posting them to the article's (or user's, even though he is an anon) talk page, and work it out. I find that most of our editors are rational and willing to comprimise, and I have no doubt that you can reach a mutually agreeable solution. – ]] 23:48, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
	:Have done so. A partial response from the anon makes evident the evisceration of the article was probably due to a combination of boldness and inexperience, rather than simply bad faith. The edits incorporate material from a source known to be engaged in an ongoing smear campaign against Dr. Wakefield, and salient material repeatedly has been deleted by the anon. Edits to the first sentence evidence distortion. Use of terms such as "admission" and "non-clinical" are gratuitous at best. But what is most disturbing is the fact the article is no longer about Dr. Wakefield, and his career and scientific contributions, it is now simply little more than regurgitation of detritus from the ongoing smear campaign against Wakefield. ] 23:37, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) (original 23:56, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC))

			The pattern matching Brain theory developed by http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Johnatpatom seems useful. I am brother of the inventor and note you have created a page on a like issue before. It isn't new research. It is a validated methodology with profound implications. Any advice/tips about starting an appropriate article? ] (]) 08:34, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
	== Copyright Policy ==
	Good work creating new articles and contributing to exisiting ones. When you make contributions, be careful that you don't include copyrighted material. Copyright rules are complicated, so take some time to review ]. A good general rule is that most things on the internet are already copyrighted by someone else, so they '''cannot be''' contributed to wikipedia. Again, content from webpages is usually copyrighted and cannot be added to wiki. Keep up the good work, and feel free to contact me with questions.

	I applaud your enthusiasm and dedication to fill in Misplaced Pages's gaps with respect to research around the use of ] and ]. I hope you might be willing to consider a few points.
	*The largest part of the discussion regarding a link between thimerosal and autism probably belongs in those two articles.
	*It's not necessary to repeat the entire debate or add a similar set of external links to the biographical articles of each scientist involved, except where those researchers are intimately involved. Trust in our readers to be able to follow hyperlinks when they need more information.
	*The link between thimerosal and autism isn't proven, and it isn't accepted by a majority of scientists or clinicians. It is inappropriate to present honest scientific opinions that the link is unproven as being solely the result of industry lobbying or government suppression.

	== Care with article sources ==
			:]? Are you not aware of the fact that the FBI was all over suspect one for years and years, and Russian intelligence sought cooperation with the FBI both before and after suspect one's travels to strife torn nether regions of the former USSR? Are you aware that analysis of terrorism by Mother Jones and the NY Times has demonstrated FBI complicity in 80% or more of terror plots that have been carried out in recent years? The salient issue here is the degree of notability that should be applied to the mercenaries dressed in Craft uniforms, well corroborated pictures of which have now saturated virtually all areas of the media, at least beyond the ] of the tightly controlled mainstream press. The Washington Times would have pulled these pictures instantly if there was any hint of the type of photoshopping allegations that have plagued attempts to legitimize the citizenship of current occupant in the White House. These photos are everywhere, and there are no credible sources that back up your mistaken assertion that the suspicious gang of Craft clad mercenaries might not meet the Wiki's notability standards. To quote ], "You look at photos of men standing near the Marathon finish line, the men in identical uniforms, who have variously been described as Navy Seals, Coast Guard, and Craft International security personnel. What were they doing there? Running a drill? Watching suspects or patsies or bomb-planters? What was going on?" These issues 'trending' throughout cyberspace have reached a crescendo against the backdrop of mounting blowback against US drone strikes and military encroachment across the Middle East and Africa, and yet you audaciously hope to whitewash the serious questions about these photographs with tendentious terminology, just because the FBI emphatically pronounces that photographs of any other suspects will not be deemed credible? ""The photos and videos are posted for the public and media to use, review, and publicize. For clarity, these images should be the only ones and I emphasize the only ones the public should view to assist us," DesLauriers said. "Other photos should not be deemed credible and they unnecessarily divert the public's attention in the wrong direction and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources."" Well, thanks for your opinion, Thargor. Peace out. ] (]) 06:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

	Hi Ombudsman. I appreciate your invitation to review the article. I'm a bit concerned about the heavy emphasis on mercury/thimerosal and MMR. Despite the opinions of a few scientists, we still don't have any good theory to explain autism, and I think our article should reflect that—there isn't necessarily a conspiracy by the pharmaceutical companies and the "medical establishment" to cover up the evils of vaccines. There ''are'' a lot of good, honest scientists and clinicians who have published solid work that shows the evidence just isn't there. (Not that they have proven a link ''doesn't'' exist, just that we lack good epidemiological or biochemical data to support one at this time.) Hopefully you'll cover other theories in more detail as you continue to revise the article...? --] <small>(]/])</small> 03:19, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

	:If this is roughly accurate, then the number of active admins is probably around 300 or less. (I don't know how many total editors were active in the last 30 days). While some admins involve themselves in setting policies (which anyone may participate in), others seem to confine themselves to truly janitorial work. For that reason I'm not sure if "]" is the best way to describe the corps of admins, or the dangers threatened by their expansion. The more plausible fear, I think, is that too many admins will result in a "]", with more sped-up deletes, heavy-handed blocks, and POV enforcement. I am certainly opposed to any movement in the direction of stifling unpopular POVs. I'm not sure that the number of admins is the major factor though. Another view, which I don't endorse either, is that having more admins broadens involvement and reduces the relative power of any one admin. I think that the most important issues are probably the rules and procedures, official and unofficial, that admins follow and/or enforce on others, Those powers should stay limited. -] 05:26, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

			>WTH?!? The above recalls previous a previous allegation of 'tedentious editing'. After taking basically a decade's breather from the Wiki, this sort of meddling is at once not surprising, given the devolution of this here Wiki into a pov artistry sinkhole, and yet simultaneously it takes one aback, miffed by the startling abrasiveness and abusiveness that now seems to pass for the current arrogant nature of your evident 'standard operating procedures. Too, it appears someone has edited my comments on the ''Plague of Corruption''' talk page. Rather than just trying to work with me, a passage has just been summarily removed, prior to any chance being allowed for me to tweak the oh, so mild, clearly unintended transgression. Simply replacing the 'artists' with the more politically tolerable 'artistry' ought to suffice, if you can fathom that sort of deference, ever so kindly. In any case, you are talking about a decade old warning that, if memory serves, was only to remain in effect for 3 months. If I'm wrong about the original wording and restrictions, or otherwise, please find and point out the specifics. Lacking such, as I believe you'll find, you ought well rescind this apparently and simply harsh, punitive, juvenile, reactionary over reaction. Even if your interpretation of the 'ancient' finding proves valid, this sort of over-wrought over-reaction is hardly conducive to promotion of the ideals behind 'good faith' assumptions. If y'all wish to continue along the path downward through the sinkhole this Wiki has sunk into, that's on you.

			>Aha, found the 2009 edit specifying a 'permanent ban', per the link inserted above. The particular 'permanent' status was unbeknownst to me, as is the situation regarding the justification thereof.

Picture of the day

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. It is the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest and most massive of its four rocky planets. About 29 percent of Earth's surface is land, with the remaining 71 percent covered with water and much of Earth's polar regions covered in ice. Earth's interior is active with a solid-iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates Earth's magnetic field, and a convective mantle that drives plate tectonics. Earth formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. Within the first billion years of Earth's history, life appeared in the oceans and began to affect Earth's atmosphere and surface. Since then, the combination of Earth's distance from the Sun, its physical properties and its geological history have allowed life to evolve and thrive, including more than 8 billion humans as of 2024. Earth is orbited by one permanent natural satellite, the Moon, which orbits Earth at a radius of 384,400 km (238,900 mi) and is roughly a quarter as wide as Earth. This photograph of Earth straddling the lunar horizon was taken in 2015 by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter while located 134 km (83 mi) above the crater Compton, visible in the foreground. To capture the image, the spacecraft had to be rolled 67 degrees to its side, and slewed with the direction of travel to maximize the width of the lunar horizon, while traveling more than 1600 m/s (3600 mph) relative to the surface.Photograph credit: NASA / Goddard Space Flight Center / Arizona State University; edited by Bammesk Archive – More featured pictures...

Thanks for uploading File:Newfreedomcommission.gif. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Proposed deletion of Buffalo Chips Running Club

The article Buffalo Chips Running Club has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article appears to be self-promotion, and has been tagged as not meeting WP's notability requirements since 12/2007. No secondary reliable sources have been added to the article since being tagged. Refer to Misplaced Pages's Notability guidelines to determine if the subject of this article is notable. Please remove this tag ONLY if providing reliable sources as references, the article is long overdue for valid citations.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 14:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Craft International

Howdy. i just wanted to call your attention to Craft International. I've nominated it for deletion, but more importantly, I've removed the claim you entered regarding the conspiracy theory surrounding their supposed presence at the Marathon bombings. I assume you weren't aware of this being a conspiratorial point of view, and perhaps were unaware of the Washington Times community page being a blog anyone can sign up for, but I just wanted to give you the heads up about the deletion and removal. Thargor Orlando (talk) 23:59, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Howdy? Are you not aware of the fact that the FBI was all over suspect one for years and years, and Russian intelligence sought cooperation with the FBI both before and after suspect one's travels to strife torn nether regions of the former USSR? Are you aware that analysis of terrorism by Mother Jones and the NY Times has demonstrated FBI complicity in 80% or more of terror plots that have been carried out in recent years? The salient issue here is the degree of notability that should be applied to the mercenaries dressed in Craft uniforms, well corroborated pictures of which have now saturated virtually all areas of the media, at least beyond the walled garden of the tightly controlled mainstream press. The Washington Times would have pulled these pictures instantly if there was any hint of the type of photoshopping allegations that have plagued attempts to legitimize the citizenship of current occupant in the White House. These photos are everywhere, and there are no credible sources that back up your mistaken assertion that the suspicious gang of Craft clad mercenaries might not meet the Wiki's notability standards. To quote Jon Rappoport, "You look at photos of men standing near the Marathon finish line, the men in identical uniforms, who have variously been described as Navy Seals, Coast Guard, and Craft International security personnel. What were they doing there? Running a drill? Watching suspects or patsies or bomb-planters? What was going on?" These issues 'trending' throughout cyberspace have reached a crescendo against the backdrop of mounting blowback against US drone strikes and military encroachment across the Middle East and Africa, and yet you audaciously hope to whitewash the serious questions about these photographs with tendentious terminology, just because the FBI emphatically pronounces that photographs of any other suspects will not be deemed credible? ""The photos and videos are posted for the public and media to use, review, and publicize. For clarity, these images should be the only ones and I emphasize the only ones the public should view to assist us," DesLauriers said. "Other photos should not be deemed credible and they unnecessarily divert the public's attention in the wrong direction and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources."" Well, thanks for your opinion, Thargor. Peace out. Ombudsman (talk) 06:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Misplaced Pages:Template index/Speedy deletion, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

DS alert

(The DS alert that was here was deleted by Ombudsman. -- Valjean (talk) 14:30, 21 May 2020 (UTC))

This is related to your edit at Judy Mikovits and your edit at your stub article Plague of Corruption. That book is written by advocates of discredited and pseudoscientific ideas, and content from RS that is critical must be included in such articles. Attempts to whitewash such content is not allowed and can be seen as a violation of NPOV and as forbidden advocacy of fringe ideas not supported by scientific evidence and RS. -- Valjean (talk) 01:15, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

To put it mildly, your wholesale hogwashing of the Plague of Corruption article goes beyond the pale. To add insult to the injury you've inflicted upon the article, the above indicates you have little in the way of constructive inclinations in the area of collaborative editing, the basis upon which many of us early, constructive contributors based our decisions to lend efforts. Rather, you have taken an overtly aggressive, uncooperative stance from the get go. This type of harassment is not only unjustified, it is undignified, and reflects poorly not only upon yourself, but upon the Wiki as a whole. If you would, please, get off your pedestal for a moment and consider that not only have I taken about a decade off as a 'breather', but you have come along, all high and mighty, and renewed the sort of harassment that has exemplified the descent of the Wiki into an acutely biased, unmitigated factory of dominant narrative tripe. Now that you have poisoned the well with your own op-ed insinuations, innuendo, and character assassination pejoratives as a substitute for my good faith article submission, you might want to consider where the high road might take you from here. May I suggest that you recuse yourself from any sort of admin role while others arrive on the article page to make constructive, rather than obstructive, edits, at least until the initial article iterations have progressed beyond the stub phase? Ombudsman 21 May 2020 (UTC)

These kind of personal attacks are unacceptable. I would also like to remind you that you are subject to a permanent topic ban from editing articles related to autism or vaccination, and creating an article about a book written by anti-vaxxers, and which discusses these topics and includes anti-vaccination quotes, is a violation of that ban. AmbivalentUnequivocality (talk) 06:04, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Ombudsman, I see you were permanently banned from the topics of vaccination and autism in January 2009, and I can't find any record of that ban having been lifted. The article Plague of Corruption is clearly related to both autism and vaccination. The ban was a long time ago, so it might be reasonable to assume you have forgotten it - or it might have been lifted and I have failed to find that. But now that you have been reminded, please either show us where and when the ban was lifted, or keep away from those subject areas. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Ombudsman, I am not an admin. Anyone can place a DS alert when it's warranted. -- Valjean (talk) 14:30, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions, pseudoscience and fringe science

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in pseudoscience and fringe science. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

The subjects of "Plague of Corruption" and Judy Mikovits fall under these discretionary sanctions. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:38, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Blocked

You are now blocked for 72 hours for violating the terms of your topic ban. The ban notification says you are "banned permanently from all pages relating to vaccinations and autism. This ban includes talk pages, templates, categories, and images as well as articles". Earlier today, I told you "The article Plague of Corruption is clearly related to both autism and vaccination. The ban was a long time ago, so it might be reasonable to assume you have forgotten it - or it might have been lifted and I have failed to find that. But now that you have been reminded, please either show us where and when the ban was lifted, or keep away from those subject areas". You have not demonstrated that your ban has been lifted, but have still edited at Talk:Plague of Corruption. If you wish to be unblocked, please either demonstrate where your topic ban was lifted, or make a convincing commitment to adhere to it. If you do neither and carry on editing the same subject once this block expires, you will be blocked indefinitely. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

For further information, your topic ban originated here. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

>WTH?!? The above recalls previous a previous allegation of 'tedentious editing'. After taking basically a decade's breather from the Wiki, this sort of meddling is at once not surprising, given the devolution of this here Wiki into a pov artistry sinkhole, and yet simultaneously it takes one aback, miffed by the startling abrasiveness and abusiveness that now seems to pass for the current arrogant nature of your evident 'standard operating procedures. Too, it appears someone has edited my comments on the Plague of Corruption' talk page. Rather than just trying to work with me, a passage has just been summarily removed, prior to any chance being allowed for me to tweak the oh, so mild, clearly unintended transgression. Simply replacing the 'artists' with the more politically tolerable 'artistry' ought to suffice, if you can fathom that sort of deference, ever so kindly. In any case, you are talking about a decade old warning that, if memory serves, was only to remain in effect for 3 months. If I'm wrong about the original wording and restrictions, or otherwise, please find and point out the specifics. Lacking such, as I believe you'll find, you ought well rescind this apparently and simply harsh, punitive, juvenile, reactionary over reaction. Even if your interpretation of the 'ancient' finding proves valid, this sort of over-wrought over-reaction is hardly conducive to promotion of the ideals behind 'good faith' assumptions. If y'all wish to continue along the path downward through the sinkhole this Wiki has sunk into, that's on you. In any case, this tempest in a teapot seems simply designed to censor both myself and the invaluable contributions of Judy, Kent and all the rest of us who wish to to pursue conveyance truth and knowledge, despite the sort of heavy handed Orwellianism evident here, on the book article page, and elsewhere... Ombudsman 21 May 2020 (UTC)

>Aha, found the 2009 edit specifying a 'permanent ban', per the link inserted above. The particular 'permanent' status was unbeknownst to me, as is the situation regarding the justification thereof. Obviously, the heavy handed nature of that sanction went way over the top, and beyond that, there is no evidence that any confirmatory, much less reasoned, discourse ensued. The reasoning behind making the ban permanent certainly needs evaluation and negotiation, rather than unilateral, uncompromising, arrogant application. Please, outline any possible avenues you might make available for discussing an appropriate resolution, to the end of demonstrating how such censorious and abusive admin wikilawyering might be properly mitigated... Ombudsman 21 May 2020 (UTC)

As you are disputing the current validity of the old topic ban, and it looks like it might not have been logged appropriately, I am replacing it with a new one...

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement topic ban

The following topic ban now applies to you:

You have been indefinitely topic banned from all pages and discussions related to vaccinations and autism, broadly construed.

You have been sanctioned after returning after a long break and immediately resuming your chronic pseudoscientific POV-pushing, in this instance creating this article pushing pseudoscientific claims by a highly controversial former research scientist and an anti-vaccination proponent.

This topic ban is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. Please read WP:TBAN to understand what a topic ban is. If you do not comply with the topic ban, you may be blocked for an extended period to enforce the ban.

If you wish to appeal the ban, please read the appeals process. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:51, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

As I placed your block under the old topic ban, and have now replaced that ban by the new one, I have lifted the block. But you must not edit any pages falling under the new topic ban while it is in force. If you wish to appeal the new topic ban, there is a link to the process in the notification message above.

(See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
