| Well, well. This is how an "Admin" behaves: He posts an incorrect assumption in our discussion at his Talk page, I respond, He deletes my response. Clearly, cutting off my reply implies his was the correct interpretation and no other Admins were involved. (See ] for more details on this nasty little Admin vendetta, and his odd claims about what he has and hasn't done, what he was and wasn't concerned about, and his repeated claims to "not understand" and "you're not making sense", same as he did here. VERY odd, but I've seen other Admins make such claims in conversations with others. Perhaps their standard way to attempt to derail conversations?) Still, he has the right to edit his own Talk page. So, I post "(Note: Bbb23 deleted my reply to this.) 71.23.178.214 (talk) 16:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)" and his friend deletes it. I revert, Bbb23 deletes it. I finally delete the entire conversation with an edit note requesting '''all or none''' of the conversation remain posted, but not an edited version. He restores his edited version, and threatens an ANI. Wow. So incredibly determined to protect his fellow Admins ('''Arthur Rubin, Binksternet and Plastikspork'''). So, here's the conversation in full:<br> | |||
| '''Judgepedia'''<br> | |||
| The template, with all its parameters and all its uses, was DELETED - see discussion - based on a similar deletion aka stare decisis. Those links can be found at Judgepedia, but the "consensus" at Misplaced Pages was that NONE of them belong here. There was no discussion about individual parameters on the template's Talk page. That's how things are done now, apparently. If you have a problem with that, you can ask the Admin why he dud what he did, then request a review, and so forth and so on. Shouldn't take you more than a year or so to get through it all. Good luck. 71.23.178.214 (talk) 13:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm sorry, but you're not making any sense. Your earlier edit summary mentions {{tl|JudgeLinks}}, which was deleted per the discussion you link to. But you weren't removing that template. You removed two external links, both of which simply pointed to websites. Now, you're talking here about Judgepedia, which has not been deleted, and you're not removing it anyway. I can't logically connect anything you say.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::Sorry you're having problems. The templates were used to provide broader web resources. They were deleted because the consensus was to NOT provide ANY such links in EL. Readers who want such information are therefore now being directed off-site. Judgepedia is the offsite resource for SCOTUS judges, and includes all those sorts of links in their EL. Another example of an offsite resource used in this way, which you may be more familiar with, is DMOZ: see Point 3 in WP:EL which explains the reasoning. In this particular case of SCOTUS judges, DMOZ provides much less than Judgepedia. Such offsite resources are intended to be replacements, and (other than official sites) not have overlaps in listings as that defeats the purpose. Those two links I deleted are in the Judgepedia article's EL, and therefore shouldn't be repeated in the Misplaced Pages article's EL. 71.23.178.214 (talk) 15:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::I understand now where you're coming from, but it doesn't necessarily follow that the two external links you removed must be removed just because the Judgepedia article, which is very long, supposedly has them in it (I didn't verify it). You've been reverted again by yet another editor. The Kagan article EL section is very short. I don't see any need to remove those two ELs based on your rationale. I suggest you take it to the article talk page if you wish to push the issue.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:29, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::"the Judgepedia article, which is very long, supposedly has them in it (I didn't verify it)." HAHAHA. I clearly said it was in the EL. You stated the articke is "very long", so you obviously went there. You had time to post a reply, and check to see if my change was reverted, but scrolling down to that EL section would take too long? Really? That's your excuse? HAHAHA. Look. Everyone knows you Admins will do and say absolutely anythingp to support other Admins, no matter what. Congratulations on publicly proving my point. Now you can go tell those sick puppies they owe you one. What a racket. 71.23.178.214 (talk) 18:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Well, I can see this conversation has stopped being constructive, but, just so you know, the only administrator involved in the Kagan article dispute is me. The other two editors reverting you aren't admins, so it's not clear whom I'm supporting.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Is that your CYA attempt to avoid answering my question about how you managed to go to an article but not see it? I was obviously referring to the Admins involved in deleting all those links from all those templates - but you go ahead and pretend you're too dense to understand anything. As I said, you're publicly proving my point. Keep it up.. 71.23.178.214 (talk) 23:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC) | |||

| Posted on Ronz's Talk page:<blockquote>Ronz, I have asked you and your "friends" numerous times, on numerous Talk pages, to explain why you insist things such as voting records, statements on the floor of Congress, campaign contribution, etc., etc., etc., are "not relevant" in articles about U.S. politicians. NOT ONCE have any of you provided a real response. All you do is smirk and bat the ball back over the net, demanding I convince YOU that such things are relevant. You think that's cute? It's not. This has gone on long enough. Time for you to explain yourselves and act like adults. If not, accept the consequences. You are NOT going to destroy Misplaced Pages as an educational resource for our readers.

| *Please do not make negative statements like this (about other editors being delusional). Not only is that not you showing ], but it can also be seen as an attack against another editor. I don't know the whole story here, but there is never a good reason to make a personal attack against another editor. Also, I redacted the name you placed on here. Unless Champaign Supernova posts her name on Misplaced Pages you should not refer to anyone by an IRL name. This is for several reasons: first there's the obvious issue that you may have the wrong person. What if you claim that she's a certain person and it's not? Then you've doxed a completely random person. The other obvious reason is that in some instances people see doxing as a personal attack and in many instances they're right. If you honestly think that someone has a conflict of interest the answer is '''''NOT''''' to "out" them on Misplaced Pages. (See ]) This can actually lead to your IP getting blocked if it's believed that you are harassing someone. What you should do in this instance is to go to ] and report the individual to one of the ], preferably via e-mail since doxing another person in this manner is not acceptable regardless of where you post it on Misplaced Pages. However at the same time you should also take into consideration that Champaign Supernova may not actually have a conflict of interest and it may just be that the two of you just want different things on Misplaced Pages. I have no opinion on that, but I do have to severely warn you that this sort of doxing, especially when combined with an insult, is not kosher on Misplaced Pages. ]] 06:32, 10 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| **Well, I certainly learned MY lesson! The next time any editor claims ownership of an article, bullies and threatens others, refuses to AGF, makes baseless accusations, then immediately runs off to make an official complaint - I will praise her intelligence, insight and acuity whike sending her a little kitten WikiLove message and beg her forgiveness for having the temerity for trying to discuss an article's issues in a grown-up, adult way on the article's Talk page. Will that do? Thank you ever so much for pointing me in the right direction! In future I will consider following the lead of Champaign Supernova in dealing with fellow editors I disagree with: immediately threaten to have them blocked. (I checked her edit history, and she has form for that.) And as you seem quite unaware, "Kelly" is a humorous, slang term referring to a "Kelly girl": a temp who smiles a lot but wreaks havoc by misinterpreting directions while she's convinced she's following them to the letter, regardless of whether or not they make sense. So much for your "outing" claim. Clue: "outing" would involve an actual name (unless one's first name is something like Cher or Beyonce), not some common first name. You used the slang terms of doxing and kosher and expected me to look them up if I didn't know them, but clearly you don't believe I deserve the same courtesy in return. So, you jumped to a remarkably odd conclusion. Am I supposed to send you a trout for that? ] (]) 16:41, 10 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ***Huh. Do you have diffs for me "claiming ownership of an article," "bullying and threatening others," "refusing to AGF," and "making baseless actions." Also, where in my edit history do you see me having a "history of threatening to have users blocked?" Your explanation of why you weren't engaging in outing is ''incredibly'' sexist and offensive. If I understand your explanation, you weren't ], you were just engaged in a good, old-fashioned personal attack, with a heavy dose of sexism. Cut it out. ] (]) 17:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::*Maybe you meant it as slang, but you have to understand that not everyone has tried to out a Misplaced Pages editor all at once. There have been instances of people doing it a little bit at a time, dropping a little nugget of information here and there. Since you are not here in person we have no way of knowing what you meant by using the name Kelly. Also, I do have to say that being overly sarcastic is not a good way to argue your side of the argument and defend yourself. '''''IF''''' what you are saying is true, the worst thing you can do is to react the way you have to any of the admins here on Misplaced Pages. That's not exactly giving me a good impression of you. The proper thing to do in this instance is to show proof of your claims. If Champaign Supernova is doing any of the things you claim she is, then give edit diffs. Just saying that she's doing these things are not enough: you have to show proof and while you don't have to fall all over yourself to be super nice to her, you should be ] to other editors on Misplaced Pages in general. ]] 22:40, 11 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
