| ==The Snoqualmie Pass photo== | |||
| I was the one who deleted the Criticism section of ], because I feel it's somewhat POV to confine any negative comments to a separate section, and because it's somewhat confusing to have discussion of the same subtopic in two different places. This isn't specific to criticism of the iPod; I don't like Criticism sections in general. | |||
| The photo you added is nice, but I do not believe it is actually from Snoqualmie Pass. There are 2 major problems with this to be a SP photo. First, the railroad tracks shown on the photo are below the road. The Milwaukee Road rail lines were never located near the road anywhere on Snoqualmie Pass, especially below the road. Also the lack of trees makes this photo appear to be taken in Eastern WA, possibly near Ellensburg. It might be a photo on Highway 10 'on the way to' Snoqualmie Pass, but it could not have been taken on Snoqualmie Pass. ] 22:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Replaceable fair use Image:HectorRuiz.jpg == | |||
| What I did was not just delete the section, but instead I split its information into the various subtopics, where relevant. is the diff, if you'd like to see it. I'm more than flexible on how things are split and where they go, but I'd rather see ugly Criticism sections gone whereever possible. | |||
| ] | |||
| Thanks for uploading ''']'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under ], but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our ] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please: | |||
| # Go to ] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''. | |||
| I'll hold off before splitting the criticisms into the relevant sections in ] for a bit; I'd like to hear your reply. ] 00:42, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| # On ], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all. | |||
| Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, ], or by taking a picture of it yourself. | |||
| :Actually, you moved almost none of the substantive criticism of the iPod into other sections when you deleted the Criticism section; most of it you deleted entirely. Examples: | |||
| :*You completely eliminated any mention of the iPod/iTunes combination as a potential vertical monopoly (in my opinion the most important criticism of them all). | |||
| :*You soft-pedaled the FairPlay system's incompatibility with non-Apple music players to the point of unrecognizability. | |||
| :*You eliminated most of the criticism of the iPod as being technologically inferior, in the eyes of some, to competing players, retaining only a narrow and somewhat esoteric criticism regarding gapless playback. | |||
| :I don't know whether or not your motivation was to whitewash any and all criticism of the iPod and turn the article into a big wet kiss for the device, but that was very definitely the effect your changes had--which is exactly why it's so important that the Criticism section remain in the article. | |||
| :"Criticism" and "controversy" sections are by their nature POV. This does not create a problem when they are presented in context, in an effort to fairly and appropriately report upon legitimate criticism that the subject of an article has engendered. Often partisans of the subject being discussed come along and pair some or all of the criticisms in such a section with rebuttals, which can be entirely appropriate if done well. In some cases a subject garners so much criticism that it gets broken into its own article entirely, as for example ] and ]. POV? In some sense, yes--but in a larger sense such articles are necessary to ''eliminate'' bias by ensuring that all sides in a dispute are fairly represented. | |||
| :You may not like criticism sections in articles, but they've evolved as a widely accepted means of achieving compromise on topics that tend to create controversy, and it's not up to you to unilaterally decide that they should be removed from articles. I will oppose any attempt to eliminate the Criticism section in the iPod article. --] 05:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ::The third point was partially intentional and unrelated; the same language, changed slightly, could be applied to <i>every single electronic device in the history of electronic devices</i>. To say that there are those displeased with the performance in a general way is a tautology. I retained the battery complaints and the gapless playback complaints; what is left in that paragraph, besides some vague references to subjective sound quality complaints that aren't much bourne out by reviews? | |||
| ::That aside, these are fair points, and I probably didn't do a very good job of integrating them into the other sections. My goal wasn't to eliminate criticism per se, but to eliminate the ugly Criticism header where all of the negative comments are sequestered, a full screen away from the origina subtopic being criticized. Why isn't criticism of the iTunes integration under the iTunes header? Likewise the vertical monopoly comments? Why not put the criticism of the battery with design? Why do we need a pouporri of negative comments all in one place? | |||

| Hm. After reading Wal-Mart, I'm having trouble seeing how it could be restructured. The elements of criticism are topics in their own right, rather than downsides or caveats to other topics mentioned. For example, it's reasonable to talk about both the functional and negative implications of the iTunes/iPod integration in the same place, much of the critical commentary in ] is strictly critical commentary.<br> | |||
| On the other hand, there's no reason to have the "Employees" section separate from the "Employee/labor relations" section. Hmm.<br> | |||
| Not entirely sure if it was an earnest challenge to take on those articles, but I'll see if I can't do something with ] once the protection is taken off of that page.

| Dear roads editor, | |||
| Yours, | |||
| You may have noticed some changes at ] lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing. | |||
| ] ] 19:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC) | |||
| This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors. | |||
| == ] Stalemate == | |||
| After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Misplaced Pages for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation. | |||
| I know we're not trusting eachother's references and sources at all at this point. I've taken the initiative to list the article section at ] in the hopes that someone neutral who hasn't been involved with the battle can come in and take a look at it. I'm hoping that you and I can come to some sort of conclusion based on third-party intervention on it as opposed to what we've been doing. Thanks. --] 16:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC) | |||
| The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us. | |||
| ==Thanks== | |||
| Thanks for the map images... they look great! --'''] (] - ] - )''' 02:23, 8 October 2005 (UTC) | |||
| In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification. | |||
| For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness. | |||
| In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests. | |||
| == Washington State Route WP == | |||

Having driven the road for many years, I can tell you that the State Route starts at an intersection just west of I-5 / SR-18 and intersects with SR-516. From there is travels north past Sea-Tac to a short freeway section, which then intersects with the map you have. If you could please update your map I'd greatly appreciate it.

If there is no consensus for a change, the status quo wins out and the pages should remain as they were until and unless the situation changes.

| ::It's obvious here we're using disambiguation wrong; the official names for state routes in California are State Route Number X or State Route X, not the proper noun California State Route X. Hence, the the word "California" is the disambiguation mechanism much like how "Lugo" is the disambiguation mechanism for ] or ]. If the article was at ], which is an obvious violation of the disambiguation policy, and several people wanted to keep it at Lugo Río Grande "just because that's how it's always been," that would only contribute to disorder. If you want road examples, ], not Quebec Autoroute. Furthermore, the current 'status quo' system was also devised by spui a few years ago (all the article names were all over the place when CA/SR first started, and spui had moved all of them to create a uniform system). He realises that it's wrong now and is trying to fix it. ] 00:37, 29 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::I disagree that your interpretation is the best way to meet the requirements of ], which says at the very top: "When choosing a name for a page ask yourself: What word would the average user of the Misplaced Pages put into the search engine?" The page itself gives a dozen examples of articles where the common name used for the article title is at odds with a more "correct" name. My belief is that an average user, knowing that Misplaced Pages is a global encyclopedia, when looking for information on ] would be most likely to search on a variation of "''california state route 87''" or "''california state highway 87''". I can't imagine that someone in, say, Amsterdam or Singapore would ever think that "''state route 87''", disambiguated or not, would be the best search term to use when looking for information on a highway in California specifically. I may be wrong. But I may not be wrong. | |||
| :::Look, you seem like a reasonable person, and this is an issue on which reasonable people can disagree. I truly believe this is an impasse that can be resolved. I honestly ''do not care'' that much which standard ultimately prevails, so long as it's arrived at in a reasonable and civil manner. It's just wrong for one person to unilaterally decide that he knows best and that no one else's input matters. My contributions are as valid as the next person's, and so are yours, and SPUI's contributions are no ''more'' valid than anyone else's.

| ::::I have been wanting discussion, but now everyone on eiher side has turned so stubborn that it's practically impossible to resolve anything with a objective view now; everyone is caught up with what spui does that no one is discussing the acutal thing that matters anymore -- the naming convention. So with a lack of anything better to do i've been sort of inclined to join the move wars... but as of late i've been moving to editing other sorts of articles besdies highways now since it's going nowhere. | |||
| Anyways, I agree with what you're saying -- no one would search "State Route 76 (California)". This is also the point Rschen has been making a lot. However, I don't think many of the disambiguated pages WILL be the common search term. If I didn't do wikipedia, i'd prboably never use parenthesis in search things like "]" -- I'd type "]". I'd search "]", not "]" and like the example I gave above, I'd search "]", not "]". Hence, I think all the disambiguation with parens IS at odds with the common anmes policy; nevertheless, it's the way things are disambiguated now (with the eception of City, State) ] 20:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :You may be right. Personally I'm beginning to think that there's enough inconsistency among the way people talk about highways, with ''state route X'' over here and ''state highway Y'' over there and ''"Illinois Z"'' messing things up, to make it difficult or impossible to guess how users are likely to search for highways anyway. (One last thing though: why is ] an article, while ] isn't even a redirect?) | |||
| :Either way, the wars have been going on far too long over something that's so ridiculous I feel foolish bringing it up anywhere. There's more blocking going on ] and ] and we both know it's not going to make any difference. What's really needed here is for a group of people on both "sides" to agree to start from scratch, listen to each others' arguments in good faith, come to a decision that's grounded in policy, and agree to abide by whatever decision comes out of the process.

As stated on my user page, I am leaving Misplaced Pages indefinitely, so I may not immediately see any messages left for me here. If you need to get my attention, the best way is by sending me an e-mail by using the link in the left-hand column. Thanks. —phh (/c) 19:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
The Snoqualmie Pass photo
The photo you added is nice, but I do not believe it is actually from Snoqualmie Pass. There are 2 major problems with this to be a SP photo. First, the railroad tracks shown on the photo are below the road. The Milwaukee Road rail lines were never located near the road anywhere on Snoqualmie Pass, especially below the road. Also the lack of trees makes this photo appear to be taken in Eastern WA, possibly near Ellensburg. It might be a photo on Highway 10 'on the way to' Snoqualmie Pass, but it could not have been taken on Snoqualmie Pass. Mrhyak 22:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:HectorRuiz.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HectorRuiz.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 09:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

An offer
I've noticed your appeal to the Committee. While I don't have any connection to the specifics of your case or your appeal, I do have a standing offer to anyone who gets sanctioned at arbitration (short of sitebanning) that I'll give out the Barnstar of Resilience if they start a new article that gets into Misplaced Pages's main page under "Did you know?" See User:Durova/Did you know? for tips.
I don't know whether the Committee will accept your request, but a barnstar or two would speak in your favor. Best wishes, Durova 17:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

An important letter
Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Misplaced Pages for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,
Fair use rationale for Image:Eric Porter as Moriarty.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Eric Porter as Moriarty.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:ChicagoManual15thEd.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ChicagoManual15thEd.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Rollback
Rollback granted
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SnoqualmiePass1946.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SnoqualmiePass1946.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
