| *] (who appears to also contribute as ]) has been adding disclaimers to the top of ] (an African goddess, though Mwhs disputes even this) essentially dismissing the article's anthropological approach to the topic and stating that " overall depiction of Mami Wata known to those born and initiated and trained to serve in its priestess- hood is considered suspect." Judging by ] uploaded by the user, this person is apparently affiliated with a Mami Wata-worshipping group in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, who host the website . I am sympathetic to the point of view of those who actually worship this deity, but all attempts to reason with this person are being ignored. See ] for the discussion. Other users have branded this person a vandal, but I have been trying to reason with them. In particular, the disclaimers placed on ] seem to violate ], ], and ]. Help in getting this person to engage in a dialogue is appreciated, but if they refuse, administrative help would be needed (as an active disputant, I must recuse myself from administerial duties regarding this person). A similar notice has been posted at the ]. Thanks. 17:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| * {{user|Gzlfb}} is adding dozens of links to ] in response to requests for verifiable sources (see talk page) and has referred to other editors as nazis (on talk page). 17:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| * A user at {{IPVandal|216.45.219.162}}, {{IPVandal|216.45.224.76}} and {{IPVandal|216.45.156.46 }} has been deleting the article {{article|Willis Stephens}}. They may be part of a political campaign. I can understand their interest in removing content that may be damaging to a candidate, but they have not responded to any attempts to contact them. Several other editors have been reverting the deletions which I think shows that there is no merit to deleting the article. I am not a registered voter but I did compose the original article, which is why I am dismayed that it is being removed without any constructive edits. | |||

| '' ::: It's a Polish nationalist masturbation, that's why.'' | |||
| When another user commented his remarks he replied: | |||
| ''I don't think my comments in this respect were overly harsh. You have to understand that for eastern Europeans the English language is like a international ethnic property court, putting the name in one language claims ownership for that ethnic group, and gets one over their rivals. That's why all those Ukrainian nationalists want to rename the Russophone city of Kiev Kyiv on English wiki, but don't give two craps what its name is in other languages; and why the same people who were propping up the Polish name Władysław II Jagiełło were going around calling Vilnius Wilno.'' | |||

The discussion has been going on for some time, but my attempts today to actually insert a summary style section from ] have been reverted repeatedly. I think the inclusion is important, but an outside opinion from people who don't frequent Islam-related articles would be useful. Thanks. :) ] 17:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| On ], a user by the name of ], in the course of an as-yet unresolved dispute over a claim in the article ] regarding the band's Holocaust denial, has begun to make offensive accusations and insinuations against the other editors of the article. He has been to remain civil on Misplaced Pages. His comments on the article talk page do not specifically target an editor but accuse all editors who oppose his views of ''"obsessing over these two young girls"'' and ''"cyber stalking"'' them. Overthrow has responded by the editor who welcomed him to Misplaced Pages. I am in the process of composing a reply to his substantive points and have no desire to be put in the false position of defending myself or other editors against his odious insinuations. He clearly won't listen to me on the subject of civility. Could someone else please try explaining to him why ''ad hominem'' arguments are inappropriate here? Thanks, ] 17:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| User 213.237.21.242 has taken over the ] page with lengthy "rebuttals" of perceived slights. Attempts to answer the points raised have only led to more lengthy responses. Users have attempted to resolve the dispute and to continue the discussion on an archive page but nothing seems to stem the flow. Any help available? -- ] 17:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| {{user|Maddyfan}} has performed several wholesale reverts of edits made by {{user|Extraordinary Machine}} to article {{article|Christina Aguilera}}, violating the ] in the process. Aside from reverting edits related to an NPOV dispute and whether a section of the article is too detailed (currently being discuss on talk), Maddyfan has rolled back removal of uncited material and MoS/formatting corrections. She seems to have a misunderstanding of the ] policy, as seen by comments such as "We will boot your butt right out of here!", "please edit again, so we can just boot you", "You come here first, discuss and WE will decide what to do. Not YOU"; she has also falsely accused Extraordinary Machine of vandalism. Maddyfan is generally incivil, and personal attacks directed towards Extraordinary Machine include "don't be ridiculous" and "Get lost". Generally, she seems unwilling to work collaboratively with other editors. 18:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| A heated discussion over the security of the networking application ] has been ongoing at the ] page. One editor is take a strong stand against the security of ] on what could be seen as unfair grounds as his major concerns are not necessarily ]-specific. The other editor is involved with the company developing ] thus make POV balance tricky. A diversity of opinion would greatly benefit the resolution of these differences of opinion.21:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ''']''' has an ongoing discussion on whether the number of consecutive qualifications to World Cup can be used to make a comparison between teams from different continents.00:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ''']''' has active discussion with many people backing up their positions with general knowledge but reluctant to cite sources. 11:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ''']''' is turning into an nonproductive, escalating war between two editors with no end in sight. I think this page, and the dispute over the ] article in general, deserve more attention from the community. | |||

| ''']''' rapidly approaching a revert war. Two users (1 registered, 1 anon) have posted edits to the main article which are highly critical of the game structure and administrative policies. Two registered users have reverted the edits (or re-worded them to be more neutral) for not being NPOV. The first two have then continued to revert their disputed edits back, claiming attempts to exclude or reword their edits amount to "vandaliz by proponents of the game." A neutral NPOV opinion would be appreciated to prevent a revert war. Some discussion on talk page, although last revert by anon user was not discussed. 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ''']''' (account created today, and probably connected with anon edits under ]) has been adding sections and external links to the following UK bank articles ], ], ], ] and ]. The links are to the Bank Action Group website and the text details their standpoint in a relatively unimportant real world dispute over the application of the UK Consumer Credit Act. I feel that I have too much involvement in the subject to get too involved, but feel that these edits are very close to ] and ], and perhaps give undue prominence to the issue. Opinions and suggestions welcomed. Many thanks 00:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ''']''' ] and ] are getting rather agressive in discussion with ] over NPOV of the article (it has recently been delisted as a ] for NPOV reasons). They also seem to be in a minor revert war on the article.02:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ''']''' Has reverted three times in less than 24 hours. He continues to insist on adding a category to the ] category list that has been discussed and removed many times. This is a regular pattern of behavior. Invitations to discuss, and other such remedies have not proven successful. Many of the editors on the ] page are tired of the fact that Doright apparently is allowed, with impunity, to launch personal attacks and revert like this with impunity. Efforts to have admins deal with this have not produced positive change. A ban is in order. ] 11:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

In anyone's objective opinion, such accusations do not belong to reasons of AfD, and moreover are just personal attacks, but Cfvh has presumably recently found AfD process as his tool, apparently to insult other editors. A long block for Cfvh would be in order, so he can contemplate his behavior, style, and how disruptive such are for Misplaced Pages processes such as AfD. ] 16:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

He has become a source of extra work for editors of royalty-related articles with his undiscussed moves and ill-thought articles and redirects.

Nothing of those are reasons for deletion, but anuway Charles tries to use them as such - actually, doing personal attacks. Charles has celarly not understood instructions how to make a proposal for AfD. Also, this Charles seems to edit warnings away from his usertalk page: , (Accumulated earlier warnings to Charles are not easy to dig, beceuse sometime two months ago he had had his user talk pages deleted, on pretext of "leaving Misplaced Pages" - which did not come to happen, the only that happened was deletion of the talk edit histories and warnings). A long block for Charles would be advisable. ] 18:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::No, I am merely proving a point: You must be accountable for your actions before you can hold anyone else to be. I understand how to make a proposal at AfD. What you need to understand is that your work will be removed and edited if it falls below par, you will be warned for infractions on WP and you must stop holding double standards. Consider the things you have said about many fine administrators and editors. You are guilty of personal attacks but your victims can obviously handle it while you label constructive criticism and observations as personal attacks. It is understood between myself and other users that your work needs to be combed through and the many, many errors must be fixed. Many of these violations of basic WP "law" occurred after warnings for such (i.e, your undiscussed page moves). Maturity gains respect. ] 18:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::The "warning" by you is unwarranted, and something you are guilty of. The (late) warning by Shilkanni was for an extremely old page move done in the infancy of my time at Misplaced Pages. The latter is irrelevant, the former is absurd. ] 18:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :The complaints mad by ] against ] are absolutely justified - and not the other way around as ObRoy maintains. ObRoy has moved dozens and dozens of articles, leaving an absolute mess behind him.

Nevertheless, the naming of European nobility is quite controversial here; probably more controversial than it in reason ought to be. ObRoy is relatively new, and may not realize this. While I sympathise with several of ObRoy's moves, they should not have been done without discussion, as many of them appear to be. I cannot hold Charles's words unwarranted: they serve to justify a collective deletion, and alert the rest of us to actions which may require consideration. ] 14:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

Wikiquette assistance was an informal process, set up in March 2005, available to editors who felt that they were being treated uncivilly. There was discussion among the community about its effectiveness, and a consensus was formed to eliminate the Wikiquette assistance process. This page was formally marked inactive in September 2012.
