I would like to continue this work but I am frustrated by the zealous activity of ] who keeps making significant reverts, and blocking accounts wherever he suspects the work of a 'banned user'. (Fram claims s/he doesn't understand "the people who feel that content is more important than anything else").
I can't find anything that says redirects have to be kept in the case of merging a page. (Which would make sense in most cases, I'm sure, but not when the name of the merged page is not one that someone would likely search for.) I can, however, find support for deleting them. ], item 1. states, "The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine."


Can I please be left in peace with the present account to complete this work. 'History of logic' is a flagship article for Misplaced Pages, and is an argument against those enemies who claim that nothing serious can ever be accomplished by the project". ] (]) 09:58, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Having to slog through 15 extraneous "hits" for non-useful redirect pages seems unreasonable to me; it's nearly a third of the search results. The redirects aren't useful as they are too specific to be considered likely search phrases.


It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).
User:24.167.138.84 may exist, but 24.167.138.84 is a volatile IP address. Keeping a comment directed at a particular user of a volatile IP address that may never be used by that particular user again, about a page that has been merged/deleted, seems needless. While equally useless, for some reason he doesn't show up in the search list. (More evidence that there's something wrong with the index.)

] and ] show up further down on the list as well; neither of these pages contains any reference to GayVN (they're both blank); I'm sure they did in the past as they were probably sandboxes for articles. However, there has been no activity on either page since 16 June.

== Black pepper and course of world history ==

Yes,black pepper can claim most of it. It was black pepper that was known as black gold, not nutmeg or any other spice. It was probably the first commodity ever to be called that, long before coffee and even longer before oil.

It was not to the lands further east that the Europeans were seeking a route, but to India. And in this case India was Kerala from where virtually almost all the spices came, although they didn't know what Kerala or Malabar Coast was. The main ports from where spices to Europe (i.e. before the Europeans discovered their sea route) were loaded were in Kerala.

It is unfortunate that you are trivializing Kerala's role in the whole matter by editiing adding the 'lands further east' phrase.

By the way, the word Kerala existed long before that became an official name of it as a new state in the Independent India. Therefore Kerala and Malabar coast are practically interchangeable (although Malabar coast is usually a foreigners' term.) However, Malabar, (without the 'coast') is the norther region of Kerala.{{unsigned2|21:31, August 16, 2006|Esesk}}

:Well, ]s and ],during most periods, were worth far more than pepper pound-for-pound. (Yes, the pepper trade has generally been worth more overall, since it was more plentiful and popular). You are right that De Gama and followers didn't know cloves and nutmeg *didn't* come from Kerala and that *all* the spices from the east flowed through the Malabar ports before moving onto Europe. So, Kerala was hugely important for the spice trade, but the emphasis on that importance should be more in ] and in ], not so much in ]. If I have a Malabar / Malabar coast nuance wrong, feel free and change that. &mdash;] (]) 21:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

=== Bunchofgrapes recall tally ===
Bunchofgrapes has asked me ({{admin|Lar}}) to clerk more formally. He has decided that if he gets 6 valid requests to be recalled (using his metric of what a valid request is) that he will stand down from adminship (ask to have his sysop bit turned off by a steward) at this time, and submit himself to an RfA immediately to get reconformed

The following section is a tally of those who have asked for recall and who Bunchograpes (not me) acknowledges as qualified to so ask. Only submissions are counted, and then only if Bunchofgrapes does not say "I don't accept this one" or words to that effect. Those voicing support or opposing recall, etc. are not counted here. I base my putting people on this list on the discussion immediately below. I copied the bare user link and put it in an informational template, and the date, from the posting.

Everybody, please. Deep breaths. This thing is going to waste exactly as much time as we allow it to. I'd really rather not get into the business of judging good-faith/bad-faith here; after all, it is likely to be someone you are in conflict with who initiates a recall petition, and if you are in conflict with someone, you are unlikely to be able to judge that question accurately. I would much rather sit back and, hopefully, watch the additional petitioners ''fail'' to roll in. We should let the petition quietly die its natural death rather than speedying it for reasons of time-wasting or having it make us look bad. Of course, that means we should all try our hardest to ''not'' have it waste time, or make us look bad. The best way I can think of doing that is to not give it another thought. &mdash;] (]) 20:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

== My edit summary idea ==

Thanks for your note on my talk about my offhand comment regarding configuring Preferences so as to prompt for edit summaries when not initially entered. You wrote:

:The idea has its drawbacks. Take a hypothetical individual that would not have, without this coaxing, entered an edit summary. He'll do one of several things:
: 1. Prodded by the message, he will enter a good edit summary
: 2. He will enter "skjfsda" or the equivalent, and be annoyed.
: 3. He will be so annoyed that he will enter "I hate edit summaries".
: 4.He will be so incredibly annoyed that he won't contribute at all.
:I won't venture to be able to accurately assign probabilities to these outcomes, though I would predict that #1 wouldn't outnumber 2, 3, and 4 combined. 2, 3, and 4 are all bad outcomes, I think. (Especially 3, soon we'd have people slapping warning templates on pages about it, and fighting about whether they can be removed, etc. etc.)

Having thought about this some, I suppose you are right that my suggestion is not an ''unambiguously'' good idea. Still, I think it could be done in a way that would eliminate 95% of the bad outcomes above. I would set up the "no edit summary warning to read something like this"

:''Would you like to enter a short Edit Summary of your contribution to Misplaced Pages?'' (Link to What is this?)
:: '''Yes''' Enter edit summary here:_________________
:: '''No''' Please post my contribution without a summary

Given these choices, I think the bad outcomes are all unlikely. It will be a lot easier for an "annoyed" user to click "No" than to type in "I hate edit summaries" so option 3 will be unlikely. I also find it unlikely that a serious contributor would forget the contribution rather than have the trouble of merely clicking "No" so option 4 would be unlikely. And vandals would have already had the opportunity to input a garbage edit summary before even hitting this page, so option 2 should also be unlikely (and an edit summary of "xzskdfkjafe" probably presages a contribution of equal value so seeing it might actually be helpful to RC patrollers).

And we would then know that a decision not to leave an edit summary was intentional, thereby avoiding RfA opposed based on "only 80% edit summary usage" for long-term contributors who are just a little over-eager to hit "Save Page."

Anyway, that's my reaction. But I still don't know where or whether to post the idea to see if it gets any wider support. Thanks for paying attention, anyway. I guess I won't sign that recall petition after all. :) Regards, ] 15:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

:That's not a bad idea w/ the Yes/No choice. I think, though, that to eliminate the bad outcomes, you would also need a "don't ask me again" checkbox; otherwise, after the fifth or sixth time you get the confirmation question, the frustration would really start to build up. But saving the "don't ask again state" would be problematic, because we couldn't do it for anons... still, that sort of thing might work. &mdash;] (]) 15:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism to your userpage ==

You'll want to revert your userpage. I almost posted to ANI that there was a problem with anons blocking admins before I figured it must just be some kind of joke. The edit summary was "take that!" ] 16:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

:He's fascinated with sockpuppet, impersonation, and doppelganger tags of all stripes. I've seen him create accounts with names like those before, but I admit I can't recall him creating userpages for non-existent users before.

Request to WP:AN

"I would like to take the article History of logic to FA. I have already sought input from a number of contributors and have cleared up the issues raised (I am sure there are more). I wrote nearly all of the article using different accounts, as follows:

I would like to continue this work but I am frustrated by the zealous activity of User:Fram who keeps making significant reverts, and blocking accounts wherever he suspects the work of a 'banned user'. (Fram claims s/he doesn't understand "the people who feel that content is more important than anything else").

Can I please be left in peace with the present account to complete this work. 'History of logic' is a flagship article for Misplaced Pages, and is an argument against those enemies who claim that nothing serious can ever be accomplished by the project".

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Eddie again

Bunchie, there's a new ban appeal by Eddie Segoura here on AN which looks to be going well. I'll wait for your opinion, if you have one, before I jump one way or the other. I was quite impressed by the stubborn disruptiveness of Eddie in the distant past, but they say people can change. Anyway, nobody knows more about it than you. Bishonen | talk 09:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC).

I guess my comments from the 2009 appeal (which I did not actually oppose) still stand. I'm willing to believe there's a decent chance he won't be malicious, and if the community wants to put up with what a pain-in-the-ass he can be is even when he's being good, there's little reason not to give him another shot. A quick look at his edits as WikiBaseballFan actually have me wondering if he hasn't grown up some in the last six years, even. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Tulipface spin.gif

You uploaded or restored , File:Tulipface spin.gif, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Misplaced Pages needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work, please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add |claimed=yes and an |author=to the {{media by uploader}} or {{presumed_self}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, then please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).

Happy New Year

Hi BOG, I just thought I’d drop by to wish you a prosperous New Year and say it would be nice to see a little more of you around the place. Giano (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi and thanks, Giano. Is everything all fixed around here, then, or are you all still slaving away for the glory of our "betters"? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:54, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Yep, everything’s fixed. The place is a positive Utopia, never been better - Jimbo asks me in for a weekly beer to sound out my views for advice. Glad to see you are still looking in. Have a great 2020. Giano (talk) 00:24, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
