Hello. It is POV to say that his actions were "egregious" (''Wordnet: conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible''). Misplaced Pages is not here to judge what is "outrageously bad"; we present information in an npov way and try to not abuse adjectives. You can leave it up to the reader to judge whether his actions were "egregious" (and especially whether they were the ''most'' egregious). I'm not defending his actions, but if we present the facts, then readers should be able to judge for themselves that he was egregious without us preaching it to them. ] 00:15, 31 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

Hai '''Ali''', there are intresting articles about '''Ayyavazhi''', a new religion on both mythology and religiosity. Misplaced Pages is rich with this topic in English, but poor in other languages.

Ali-oops, why don't you like my politics?? I am not the one who erected a statue to a Nazi, Sean Russell, in North Dublin?? I am not the one who told de Valera to stay neutral during the seminal battle of good and evil of the entire millennium?? I am not the one who refused to let refugees in, which would have saved thousands (or many thousands) of lives (but nobody in Ireland seems to care about that since they were Jewish lives), unlike such good countries as Bulgaria, Denmark, Albania, Dominican Republic, the UK (yes, the UK--Hail Britannia), and even Japan, who tried and saved as many lives as they could while de Valera was preparing a list of the names of virtually all the Jews in the Free State to turn over in case of an Axis invasion. By the way, why don't you check out the website for www.stormfront.org (many of your compatriots and co-religionists have a lot of interesting things to say that you might or might not like hearing)!! | |||

What I '''do''' care about is your ridiculously ] and unencyclopedic edits, the fact that you refuse point-blank to enter into dialog about your edits (you're right and that's it!) and the fact that you use sockpuppets to revert other editors to allow your sectarian POV to bubble back up to the surface.

::I know, so it's a kind of Beckettian microcosm we live in. I revert, they reverse the revert, and I revert again. I find it very difficult to believe you are not Roman Catholic considering that you are from the "Southwest" of Ireland, but whatever. You did not of course address any of the horrific things I pointed out in my previous email, and there are so many more from the beginning of the 20th century till almost its end. Check out that website, www.stormfront.org -- it will prove enlightening, I believe. I was trying to cut and paste something heinous form the Irish stormfront commentaries, but I lost it so I cannot paste it herein and I have to go, but I'll try to copy/paste another time. Irish Catholics censored American movies and television programs for almost 30 years in the 20th century, and I will not allow them to censor me. | |||

== Weird Censoring Issue from 2011 == | |||
Since joining Misplaced Pages recently I have learnt an awful lot, and one of those things is the value of teamwork. It has become increasingly apparent to me that there are absolutely tons of people out there devoted to editing the Scottish articles, but we communicate only haphazardly. To begin to attempt to remedy this, I have initiated a notice board for all Scoto-fans! | |||
I know this is from over a decade ago, but I was looking at my contribution history and it made me think of the time when my browser was inexplicably censoring everything on your page and the page of ] and you ended up having to be in the middle of it. Not sure if you even remember it occurring, but I thought you might be interested in hearing an update all these years later because it was so bizarre. | |||
You can find it using this shortcut: ] (yes, I know that it ain't very "short", but our nordic neighbours had first call on ]). | |||
Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again. | |||

Did you take the Burning Man image? Currently, attendees at Bman who want to take photos and put them to potential commercial use (such as the GFDL allows) you have to get special permission of the Bman media people. Was this the case to your knowledge in 1999 when you took the photo? I would not be surprised if these restrictions were more recent, but I am trying to make sure that we have permission to use all the images on ] so I would appreciate any info you have on your picture.

I know this is from over a decade ago, but I was looking at my contribution history and it made me think of the time when my browser was inexplicably censoring everything on your page and the page of User:Jolly Janner and you ended up having to be in the middle of it. Not sure if you even remember it occurring, but I thought you might be interested in hearing an update all these years later because it was so bizarre.
Anyway, just for context, I was just short of 13 years old when that happened. Age-wise, I could see my parents maybe having some sort of filter on my computer, I'm pretty sure it was not some sort of computer virus. I never specifically asked them about it, my mom could get kind of reactive about things so I didn't want her assuming I was doing something inappropriate. The only thing I can think of on why it never recurred again is that they took internet away from that computer (for reasons that stretch outside of this conversation, nothing terrible though, mainly staying up too late and being lethargic at school) and they maybe never thought to do that again.
It definitely was not malicious on my part, I was as confounded about it as anyone else, plus I curse like a sailor in certain environments so I am not against profanity as a rule. --Thebirdlover (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, @Thebirdlover:. Yeah, it's been nearly 15 years since that incident. I can tell you what happened. Back then, I was an Oversighter, and had responsibilities for personally-identifying information and for children's privacy. Back then, you were a minor, and I was alerted to remove certain information from your user page for your own safety. It's usually done very discretely and even administrators can't see the edits. So that's what happened.
- The issue with User:Jolly Janner was unrelated to yours but involved Doxxing, so I had to dive in there and do some redaction - Alison 22:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I know what the oversight issue was about (that was going back to when I started here), I was talking about this situation that you were involved in related to my computer haphazardly removing expletives because I was reminded of it and felt like trying to explain what was going on as best as I possibly could (even though I still don't completely know what happened). --Thebirdlover (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I had no idea what happened there, and still don't. It looks like there was some weird censorware on your computer, as it wasn't retroactively censored on the WP side, from what I can see - Alison 19:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for pointing at him! - I have Michael Ruetz on the same page (see story), and music to express happiness and sadness. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding Michael Ruetz, and condolences on his loss, too - Alison 22:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I didn't know him but was fascinated by his photo series. The loss of a friend was in real life. Today, you can listen to the (new) Perplexities after Escher --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm in work right now, and cued it up to listen to in my office. Last week was very much a Bach week as the Netherlands Bach Society just livestreamed Bach's Christmas oratorio - have a listen - Alison 19:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! A pic of our last performance is in the article ;) - I came to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Just got a notification that my IP block exemption is about to expire, and would love to have it renewed. Hope it's ok to contact you as a CheckUser directly on your discussion page, and that I haven't misinterpreted the guidelines on WP:IPBLOCK. Many thanks in advance!

- Hi there. A quick check and everything looks fine to me. Can you ask @GeneralNotability: as I've no access to the ticketing system? - Alison 19:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- GeneralNotability has been inactive for several months. However, it just happens that I have all the needed accesses, and have extended your IP block exemption by one year, Listz3. Hope you don't mind my jumping in, Alison! Risker (talk) 02:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oh - thanks, Risker! Problem solved :) - Alison 03:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
