| When you opened the ] on 29 March, you left out several statements previously made on the ] page, including my own ( ) and Zora's () defending statements, and several of those made against Aucaman. Is there any special meaning attached to this? Will it be okay for the authors to re-instate these on the new page? I myself plan to re-submit a new version on the evidence page anyway, but I'd very much like to have Zora's statement preserved for the Arbcom's consideration too. Also, in my earlier statement, I had argued for widening the case to a larger group of participants, on the grounds that Zmmz' role is that of a spokesperson of a whole group acting in concert against Aucaman. Can this still be done, will it be okay if I include evidence to that effect too? Thanks for your advice. ] <small><sup>]|]</sup></small> 07:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

However there is no hard-and-fast rule about this, it's just a rule of thumb that we use to try to keep the case page relatively uncluttered. Zora's statement is on the talk page and will almost cetainly have been read by arbitrators, especially as he's a well known, experienced editor whose judgement is generally trustworthy. But I'll move your statement and Zora's to the main case page just in case. --] 08:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

I'd never even noticed them in wikiP outside an edit screen until I got back last month, so browsing with them couldn't happen. Makes me wonder how many users ('customers'? i.e. not editors) are missing the same thing. Perhaps the default ought to be 'Cologneblue'. | |||
| :*Sorry for getting excited and reinventing a wheel I'd not seen. Probably part of hitting the 50's--my eyes have been a real pain for all close work until Friday when I got a computer prescription bifocal, so I can even read hardcopy and work on the screen w/o switching between glasses. It's been a trial this past two years. I've lost track of how many complaints I've made to webpages for using such small fonts when they didn't scale up font sizes using IE6. At least our software works for all browsers that way. | |||
| :*I think I'll try out the skin! Sorry to have bothered you, though someone did note that listing the Main article or articles would be useful thing, and in fact seeing some Cats like that was what inspired the idea when looking for a way up the tree. I've annoted that below the original post with 'Egg on Face' subsection reflecting the point, especially for long Cat pages, the explicit note up high also makes some sense. I'll have to explore the presentation of all the skins. | |||

| I cannot possibly comprehend the European concensus for the inclusion of that law. Anyone should be charged with rape for not following the obvious morality issue of violating another's body. Apparently European law confroms itself differently than the rest of the world's common sense. That is so far over the mark that I had difficulty believing it when I first read about it.

| ::*The Arbitration Committee considered the evidence and opened the case on April 7. | |||

The creation of the Dannyisme account is a positive step towards making sure this does not happen again, but it is not enough so far as I am concerned.

| == Aucaman RfAR == | |||
| Here's a little request to you as the Arbcom clerk. There's been a flurry of editing at the Aucaman arbcom case recently. One involved editor, {{user|Zmmz}}, has a habit of making his contributions in very many small steps and of going back to them for minor corrections and additions very frequently. I find this clutters up the page history and makes it rather difficult to react, especially when he changes his contributions after others have already commented on them. Could you perhaps ask him to use some sandbox space or offline editing for preparing his contributions? Also, if he wants to retract or modify things he said after they have been commented upon by others, wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to strike them out instead of just deleting them? Thanks for your attention. ] <small><sup>]|]</sup></small> 09:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

It appearers that the user, in conjunction with ], are gaming the system. ] submitted a set of evidence two days ago , containing false and perjured statements, which were commented on , and formally replied to in a new section on the evidence page under user LukasPietsch's own section. Now today, user Aucaman has resubmitted user LukasPietsch's evidence all over again at the bottom of the evidence page, under his own name, with minor cosmetic revisions, and with a new disclaimer that "''The following were prepared in close cooperation with ], but ] is responsible for the accuracy of the evidence''" and then user LukasPietsch simply removes that whole section of his evidence , for the accuracy of which he is responsible, and had already been submitted two days earlier and commented upon by others.

| I'm not sure Phil was the right person to do a block either given HIS past history. You two and Aaron need to stay away from each other, period. He should have known WAY better than to change one of your headings (even if he was perhaps right about the heading... The text you wrote was in my view very accurate and helpful but was it "official"? ) and you should have known better than to escalate to a block ''over a heading change'' without at least trying to talk about it or ask for help. IMHO anyway. I would ask you to let it go at this point and not escalate any further. | |||
| As Aaron promised when he stood, he's starting an RfC on himself and his time as Admin so far at the 3 month mark (coming up soon) so perhaps you might want to consider if you can say something constructive /thoughtful/well reasoned there. I feel your initial comments on Aaron's RfA were pretty amazing, they must have been hard to write for you. Even if you subsequently ended up changing your mind, my hat was off to you for that, sir.

Reply here, I'll put this page back on my watchlist for a while.<br/>As to the wider issue, you still don't seem to understand the actual problem: | |||
| *The block was bad form, but I really could give a rat's arse about that. Annoying, irritating, autoblocker makes me pull my hair out, etc. But no harm done to me, water under the bridge, etc. I'm only concerned about what the block says about your mindset. | |||
| *Clerk's don't have any authority. Full stop. Your continued insistance that the block was not only justified but required (e.g. "it's not like I have much choice") is troubling, but still not the central issue. | |||
| *The real issue is that you've apparently got ''no idea'' what it is you're conceptually meant to be doing as a clerk. You simply can not be making recomendations or observations, ''personal'' observations, and putting them under the clerk banner. The fact that I agree with those views is immaterial.<br/> | |||

In fact, there's language to suggest they're allowed, ''just like everyone else.''

| == Request for Arbitration, Administrative divisions, Tobias Conradi == | |||
| Pardon me, I'm still learning the resolution process. My understanding was that once RfCs had been processed, and Mediation had been refused, the only recourse is Arbitration. Moreover, that Arbitration is the only binding dispute resolution for which enforcement can be requested. | |||
| #Are you saying that I've merely mislabelled the request? | |||
| #Or are you saying that under the current process, as long as a sufficiently large gang of miscreants is cooperating and not misbehaving too badly, any content is permitted, no matter how badly the material deviates from standard practices in the rest of the world? | |||

| #Abuse of process appeals? | |||

| Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three, | |||
| I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be. | |||
| This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. | |||
| My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed. | |||
| This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life, | |||
| My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife. | |||
| To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy, | |||
| I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. | |||
| My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad, | |||

Task force climate change
Hello Tony Sidaway,
You are currently noted as a participant of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral.
I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

- If I could find it, I'd send you lyrics to a song where the singer, in first person, places a cell call to someone else, asking if the other party received his email. The conversation goes live into the mens room when the singer walks in on an occupied stall. He wants to talk about techno weenie who piled it all up on a sheet of plywood, doused it with crisco, set it afire, and disappeared into the Rockies leaving only an address at the corner store. But the ironic refrain claims the speaker isn't a victim of the techno world "oops, didn't know the stall was occ-uuuuu-piiiiied....."

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Triassic turtles
A tag has been placed on Category:Triassic turtles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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. Liz 17:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

The article List of locations in Pirates of the Caribbean has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:LISTN. It's all WP:PLOT information aside from trivial filming location details. It is in no way a justified spin-out.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:SuperOffice Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:SuperOffice Logo.png. 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) 04:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gradient Analytics
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 Gradient Analytics 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. – S.
