:::Since a simple apology for the original sin against him won't be forthcoming, and that would, I hazard, be the only persuasive thing that might make him reconsider, the only helpful thing here would be a collective effort to write an historical essay summarizing as stringently and neutrally as possible how this punitive domino effect began, with a sockpuppet's harassment. And once sandboxed out, leave it on this abandoned page just to set the record straight, vindicate our lost editor's honour, and enable those who wonder what it was all about catch the drift in an overview. MS certainly deserves such a pittance of commemorative justice, and as a practice I don't see why it wouldn't turn out set a useful precedent for writing up cases in wikispace where bad administrative judgment can be shown to have catastrophic effects.

== Oh shit ==

Some time ago I decided to focus 99-plus percent of my efforts here solely on article improvement and eschew virtually everything else. While it has no doubt saved me untold amounts of stress and ire, it obviously has its drawbacks too. Sadly I missed all of this. During my nascent days at this project, when I had quickly developed a deep disgust for adminship-culture, you stood out to me as an anomaly: a circumspect, principled individual as well as editor, who didn't view his or her bit as a phallus. (I would later come to learn, while few and far between, there were other administrators with integrity as well.) I didn't always agree with you, but I always found your character to be beyond reproach. I was equally, if not more impressed with your work as an editor; not only were you a prolific contributor, you worked daily in some of the most heated, contentious areas of the project {{ndash}} articles I wouldn't dream of working on as anything but a copy-editor. All of this, along with the egregiously mitigatory provocation, should have been given proper weight in the original case that caused you to lose your administratorship; had it been, censure should been the harshest measure even on the table. Now this; as passionate as I am about this project, there are times when I am truly embarrassed to be associated with it. I wish I had learned of this months ago, when you would have been more likely to see this message. I hope you know how valued you were here. I'm proud to have worked beside you, friend.

Malik Shabazz,<br />
Seeing as you are active in a sensitive topic area, and<br />
Seeing as you have been a Misplaced Pages Admin for one year and eighteen months,<br />
Please note that I find the following diffs to be unbecoming of any editor on Misplaced Pages but particularly one in your position:
#'''''', in which you accused your fellow Misplaced Pages Admins of lacking testicles and/or of being cowards.
#'''''', in which you used provocative sarcasm in order to taunt another Misplaced Pages editor.
#'''''', in which you accused another Misplaced Pages editor of having been warned countless times about ] when in fact your warning was the first he ever received.
#'''''', in which you described a new Misplaced Pages editor's first and arguably good-faithed edit as vandalism.
#'''''', in which you referred to another Misplaced Pages editor as a jerk.
#'''''', in which you accused me on my Talk page of writing "mealy-mouthed double-talk," despite being asked to engage in an article's Discussion page and despite my edit being a good-faithed representation of a cited source.
#'''''', in which you reinserted a source that was shown not to support a claim being made in an article and summarized your reinsertion as "undo whitewash."


]
I note also that an article with which you were recently involved was yesterday for a period of one week on account of pointy editing on your part there.
Gone but not forgotten; you're still the GOAT.

== Always precious ==

Ten years ago, ] were found precious. That's what you are, always, gone but not forgotten. --] (]) 08:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
:# The diff cited is of Malik saying ''I'm not looking for blood, I'm looking for an acknowledgement from somebody, anybody, that likening other editors to terrorists is not acceptable behavior. The silence is deafening.'' An earlier edit he made to that discussion was his saying ''I can't believe that none of you has the balls to do it.'', which is where I am guessing Biosketch got the idea that Malik was accusing others of "lacking testicles". That is an absurd accusation to make, "doesnt have the balls" is a common colloquialism that does not mean one "lacks testicles".
:# Sarcasm isnt allowed? On user talk pages? Nuh uh, really?
:# That is the standard {{tl|uw-copyright}} warning, and he does not accuse the editor of "having been warned countless times about ]". There is a standard template and nothing else, to say otherwise is to mislead
:# The intentional blanking of sourced content without any reason is vandalism. Or, if it isnt, then neither are the edits removing "Jerusalem" as capital of Israel which are routinely reverted as vandalism (possibly once or twice by Malik, though I cant be bothered to look)
:# I was going to type a response here, but decided it would be better if I did not
:# So Malik is not allowed to comment on the quality of your edit now? I was under the impression that you otherwise, that comments about others edits that are "peripherally about" an editor were acceptable. Color me confused.
:# Your position that the source does not back the content is not exactly undisputed, now is it?

::I agree with Nab's reading of these diffs. This complaint from ], a committed Israel-Palestine POV warrior, simply seeks disparage the actions of an admin that Biosketch regards as too neutral on his pet position. re diff 5; Being familiar with Malik's actions in past, I'm guessing that if he suggested anyone was acting like a "jerk" it was probably an understatement.

== Douglas Lifeboat Station ==
Biosketch, stop being an ass. In most cases, you're lying my omission—taking my comments out of context to make them seem provocative when they weren't.
#I stand by my assertion that the uninvolved admins at A/E lacked the balls to block Jiujitsuguy. Not one of the targets of my remark has complained, but thank you for looking out for them.
#Since when is it wrong to show Wiki-love to other editors?
#Adjust your reading glasses and read ] (now archived). You will find that there are four or five notifications on the page before the message you describe as "the first he ever received".
#I don't care whether an edit is an editor's first or hundredth; if it's vandalism, it gets labelled as vandalism.
#Maybe you should visit the eye doctor. I was responding to Cptnono's comment in the preceding paragraph, in which Cptnono used the word "jerk". Trust me, I would have used a much stronger word to describe AgadaUrbanit's behavior.

As an administrator I feel I need to be seen to be complying with that principle and so I would aim never to label another editor a jerk in a discussion or say that a group of Wikipedians lacked balls as both these comments appear inflammatory and about the person rather than their actions. That's me, I don't expect other Admins to fully agree with my conservative interpretation. A pattern of disrespectful behaviour and rudeness would have to be long term and extreme before it became any more than a mild tut and seen as part of robust debate; I don't see that from the examples given and as there is only one complainant here there is no reason to look further.

:::You overreached a little, Biosketch. I see the following as problematic ''especially for an admin''
:::* was insulting and obnoxious. Not devastating but not OK from an admin he typically disagrees with. (note that it took at least one request for him to not comment as an uninvolved admin in the topic area at AE based on things like this)
:::* was simply editing in bad faith. The editor probably was attempting to be malicious but if anyone should be holding newbies hands it is an admin.
:::* However, and of way more concern concern was the edit in the same conversation where he said my comment was I suppose it is nice that he didn't say "bullshit" instead is the only defense.
:::* was a completely unnecessary and insulting comment. If he can't word it better he should not be an admin.
:::*Regarding the protection: Malik edit warred while making pointy edits: and from an admin was a little rude. At least he eventually removed his malicious edit after it was reported.
:::All of the above is not the end of the world and won't result in the block of any established editor. However, it is completely inappropriate to find this many ''recent'' diffs showing a combative style from someone volunteering to be an admin. He should certainly continue to edit but it is time for him to give up the mop and bucket if he does not show an immediate 180.

Those are hardly reasons for people to get into a tizzy and shift attention and blame onto me.

Warm wishes

I understand your desire to step away from a while, but I hope that you will return when the time is right for you. Thank you for all of your excellent contributions over the years. Cullen Let's discuss it 22:00, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Absolutely. Malik should never have been de-sysopped in the first place. Admins working in the I-P area need a thick skin and a quick brain – and Malik was one of the best. Malik, I hope you'll come back again some day. Best wishes, NSH001 (talk) 06:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Don't know what to say really, except to pitifully echo the warm thoughts expressed by others. Best wishes whatever you decide to do eventually. Pincrete (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Since a simple apology for the original sin against him won't be forthcoming, and that would, I hazard, be the only persuasive thing that might make him reconsider, the only helpful thing here would be a collective effort to write an historical essay summarizing as stringently and neutrally as possible how this punitive domino effect began, with a sockpuppet's harassment. And once sandboxed out, leave it on this abandoned page just to set the record straight, vindicate our lost editor's honour, and enable those who wonder what it was all about catch the drift in an overview. MS certainly deserves such a pittance of commemorative justice, and as a practice I don't see why it wouldn't turn out set a useful precedent for writing up cases in wikispace where bad administrative judgment can be shown to have catastrophic effects. It might teach that body to listen to the community, rather than rule it. Nishidani (talk) 15:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
That's an intriguing idea. Shearonink (talk) 15:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

After 13 years of being a volunteer and now...

Hi Mr.Malik, sorry for my bad English but I really want to say this. It was in my chest since you stopped editing. After being a volunteer and a tearless contributor for all of these years you can't just stop because of a small issue like that. If I was you I wouldn't stop. I would forget about it and move on. I hope you return back. Misplaced Pages become like a ghost town without you. Literally.--SharabSalam (talk) 18:58, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Misplaced Pages articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Misplaced Pages, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Oh shit

Some time ago I decided to focus 99-plus percent of my efforts here solely on article improvement and eschew virtually everything else. While it has no doubt saved me untold amounts of stress and ire, it obviously has its drawbacks too. Sadly I missed all of this. During my nascent days at this project, when I had quickly developed a deep disgust for adminship-culture, you stood out to me as an anomaly: a circumspect, principled individual as well as editor, who didn't view his or her bit as a phallus. (I would later come to learn, while few and far between, there were other administrators with integrity as well.) I didn't always agree with you, but I always found your character to be beyond reproach. I was equally, if not more impressed with your work as an editor; not only were you a prolific contributor, you worked daily in some of the most heated, contentious areas of the project – articles I wouldn't dream of working on as anything but a copy-editor. All of this, along with the egregiously mitigatory provocation, should have been given proper weight in the original case that caused you to lose your administratorship; had it been, censure should been the harshest measure even on the table. Now this; as passionate as I am about this project, there are times when I am truly embarrassed to be associated with it. I wish I had learned of this months ago, when you would have been more likely to see this message. I hope you know how valued you were here. I'm proud to have worked beside you, friend. Best, Joefromrandb (talk) 03:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Yepp, still miss you, MS. Hope you are doing well, whatever you spend your time on....best wishes, Huldra (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
