Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to ] was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond ] ] 19:36, 17 March 2009

== Deucalionite ==


{{User:Colds7ream/RfA}}
Hi, thanks for taking care of the Deucalionite case. He's always rather difficult to deal with, but yesterday was definitely one the more bizarre moments even by his standards. I'm not sure how serious one must take his ranting about his copyvios being part of a systematic breaching experiment. Most probably, those are just self-aggrandizing phantasies covering up for the much more trivial truth that he lacks the academic skills to summarize texts properly. He has in the meantime apologized to Diana () and what he says there sounds more realistic.


== Andrea Doria ==
I do believe there are probably other problematic cases still around. I tidied up quite a bit back in June. One that's left is {{article|Panagiotis Danglis}} (exact source unknown, probably close translation from an original Greek source somewhere.) He simply refuses to state his source. A similar case where he flatout refused to name his source was on {{article|Sclaveni}}, but in that case I finally deleted the questionable content. Since I started monitoring him in June, he has taken to avoiding exact verbatim copies and uses very slightly reworded paraphrases instead. Recently, he's been creating a large series of stubs on historical treaties (see list on his userpage). I don't know what his source is, most of the pages are unreferenced, I guess he's taken most of it from some commen print source. In a few cases, like here: {{article|Treaty of Westminster (1153)}}, cf. , one can identify a web source, and again it's a very close paraphrase.
*Original: ''"This treaty allowed Stephen to remain King of England for life. It also stated that Stephen had adopted Henry Plantagenet as his heir. Stephen's second son, William, was to inherit all Stephen's baronial lands."''
*Deucalionite: ''"The Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen to remain King of England for life. The agreement also stated that Stephen adopt Henry Plantagenet as his heir. Stephen's second son, William, would inherit all of Stephen's baronial territories."''.
From his reaction yesterday, I can't exclude the possibility that he genuinely believes that by rewording in this way he has avoided copyvio.
If you have the stomach, read our "discussions" from June ]. ] ] 11:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


{{Talkback|Talk:Andrea Doria|Andrea Doria and disambiguation}}
:P.S. The more I look into it again, the more I believe intervention will be necessary here. The guy creates problematic articles faster than anybody can clean them up. Just since yesterday, he has created three more treaty stubs: ], ], ]. Two are again unreferenced (as most of the earlier ones), the third ostensibly has an external link to a scholarly paper, but that is evidently not the real source actually used by him. From what he said yesterday, we can take it he has absolutely no intention of ever completing these articles or adding the sources to them. As long as he refuses to do that, we must assume that most of them are in fact copyvios or something very close to it just like the Westminster one I mentioned above. ] ] 20:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


== Holiday cheer ==
== ] ==


{| style="border:1px solid 3px; background-color: #FF0000;"
You warned me about the 3RR rule. Please do not assume that 'the majority must be right', and please check the situation carefully. I think this warning is unbased (it would not be my 3rd revert), and I will give you a presentation of things, how I see them, of all edits since I entered the scene some days ago, in chronological order.
|rowspan="2" valign="top" | ]
* This was my first change during the last days. It was a merger discussed ], in fact so long, that it has already been moved to the archive. One comment was given, one user approved the change. I think I have waited long enough to implement it now.
|rowspan="2" |
* I reverted a change to a section I once wrote (long ago), since the change introduced several inaccuracies. I further wrote ] an extensive comment on the discussion page and an explanation of the inaccuracies.
|style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" |<font color="white">'''Holiday Cheer'''
* In a completely unspecified fashion, ] reverts ''both'' edits as "rv pov". What does he mean?
|-
* I could only guess what he means, so I undid his change.
|style="vertical-align:top; border-top:1px solid gray; color:#FFA060" | ''']''' '']'' <font color="white">'''is wishing you Season's Greetings! This message celebrates the holiday season, promotes ], and hopefully makes your day a little better. Spread the seasonal good cheer by wishing another user a ] and a ], whether it be a newbie, a good friend, someone you have had disagreements with in the past, or just some random person. Share the good feelings. - MQS'''
* Because I am not going to go into an edit war, I am immediately editing the version, giving a shot to nothing about what he considers (how can I know from "rv pov" and no follow-up on the discussion page?) as POV. It cannot be the "Intelligent Design or Theistic Evolution" thing since it was cleared on the talk page before I joined with the first edit above (and some time ago, I wrote to the organization and they say, no, it's not a mistake, it's intended to use the former term where the latter term would normally be used). I assumed reverting the merger was a mistake, and was not supposed to be included in "rv pov". So it can only be the claim that it is biased. I ''removed'' this claim with the edit. This is a ''unique'' version not present before. Note that I give extensive edit comments as I go on.
|}
* ] reverts my change, claiming "rv: three editors have objected to your change. Make your case in talk". Not only is this version unique and has not even been touched by any other editor, I also my arguments on talk. In fact, these arguments, as mentioned above, plus a minor fix by myself, are the two most recent edits on talk, and are still the only edits on the discussion page since September 10. Note he again reverted all changes.
* Since the revert seems to be based simply on false assumptions, I undid it. ''From current sitation, this is my first revert, since the edited version was unique.''
* ] claims "Incorrect. In being reverted, your change has been rejected by four different editors now. Please open a discussion of your intended changes on the talk page." again I was only reverted once, and this one revert was "because the other three editors objected" although the version was unique. Ah, and did I already mention that I "open a discussion of intended changes on the talk page" already yesterday, and did not receive to date a follow up? So if he is saying "Incorrect" he is either mislead by trusting the comment of ], thinking a majority is against this version, or he has simply not checked the facts carefully.
*Then I received your warning.
To show good faith, I am not going to revert once more. I hope you can give me advice on what to do. Nobody replies on the talk page and I am being threatened to be blocked if I revert once more, even though it would only be the second revert in my opinion. --] 17:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

As for the GFDL, I am uncertain what aspects of it would apply or limit us here. All content merged was original Misplaced Pages editor content to my knowledge.--] 19:38, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
:Yes but under the GFDL we need to keep records of what was contributed by whom (that is why we normally merge and then make a redirect). Quoting from ] "Merging should always leave a redirect or, in some cases, a disambiguation page in place. This is often needed to allow proper attribution through the edit history for the page the merged text came from. Even if it seems rather pointless or obscure, leave it in place. Superfluous redirects do not harm anything, and are sometimes helpful. Other websites may have made links to the old page title, so we will want to redirect incoming visitors to the merged page. We do not want people accidentally creating a new page under the old title, not knowing that the merged page exists. Redirects also show up in search results, helping people who might be looking under the "wrong" title to find the page that they are looking for." ] 19:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Joshua, do you know anything about the Chebyshev theta function? We discussed odd perfect numbers about a year ago by email, so I figured this would be your field.

I was just agreeing that, like most ID related articles on Misplaced Pages, one can see a clear implied meaning of "There is no challenge to Evolution, and ID'ers are all liars" throughout much of the articles, generally through extensive negative referencing. I don't agree that there isn't a a challenge, because academically motivated or not it sort of exists anyway, but I don't see how it would make IDer's annoyed for me to say that, i'm just saying that's how most Wiki articles on the subject tend to be written. ] 01:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Rather than try to address it point by point, I think I can give you a general feel for what's wrong with your essay - it's basically just a chronicle of how you feel about the issue. There's no real attempt to address the issue, but lots of ''Well, I wouldn't mind if small cities got deleted'' and the like. There are tons of articles on Misplaced Pages I don't give a flying fuck about but if they're verifiable and encyclopaedic, what's the rational for deletion (with notes like a)spam is not encyclopaedic and b) there are exceptions (i.e. POVFORKS))? A school article that's verifiable, encyclopaedic and otherwise not spam or the like doesn't violate any policies or guidelines. ] 21:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

:::I'll give it some more thought (I've been pretty busy today) but 3 and 8 really fail to distinguish between a ''stub'' and a ''directory entry'' asserting that a stub is almost by definition a directory entry without any real reasoning. The ] argument is basically just ''Stubs are not directory entries'' in illustrational form. An article title on an encyclopaedicly viable topic with one or two facts (say, where the school is, when it was founded, who the principal is, what its motto is, whatever) is a stub, not a directory. A directory would be if we made a series of such things (presumbly sortable/searchable) such that it couldn't expand, maybe a table of whatever. They may sometimes look a little like this since regularised inspections result in certain information always being available so usually included, but it is a subtle (and important) difference.
:::Additionally, ''merge'' is very different from ''delete''. It's essentially a ''keep'' vote but just a comment on the style of keeping. I will say that as a rule I generally hate merging and find it to have all the aesthetic style of a puddle of sick, but sayings ''Let's making ] a single article from ] and ]'' is essentially a keep vote with a formatting comment. If this isn't clear, they still want to keep all the content of the article on a merge (or most) but move around the title (and probly even keep the name as a redirect). ] 20:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

==All the interest from the creationist pages==
Perhaps. But it still leaves unanswered the question of why I drew all this interest from a few people on a few specific pages and what they were told before (e.g.) they went to the AFD on ]. It also leaves unanswered the question of why, with all the completely unsupported assertions and gross violations of ] on Noble controversies, mine, which is documented ad nausem, drew such special attention. If you check the history, what little documentation is there, e.g., on ], I provided.


<big>'''P.S. You are also invited to ] on Sunday November 19!'''</big>
Also note that I am pushing Weiss et all and the Bell Labs workers case for the Nobel, not McGinness'. The fact that we were temporally between them and the Nobel winners is just an illustration of how badly this thing was messed up. I have a thing about "citation amnesia" and science fraud, which I is why I defended ] and ruffled all thos feathers, for which I am still paying the price. While there is no cabal on wikipedia, there are certainly cliques, and I seem to have run into one. ] 02:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The Portal, as it stands, reads very soberly, and I was not aware of the background, which you have communicated, so I just took it to be an examination of the idea the God created the world, as held by major religions &mdash; even if many people adjust this to also accommodate the scientific view. It's not really my field, although I am sympathetic to those who wish to provide information on such beliefs. I certainly agree with you that there are no grounds to put a joke template on it. I've put it on my watchlist. I wonder if people contributing to religious articles would participate if they knew of its existence. ] 18:22, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for helping to keep an eye on Deucalionite. I notice he's persisting in creating new "treaty" stubs. Despite all requests, warnings, pleas and whatnot, he is apparently making a point of leaving them all without sources. Two or three more just today. As these are all on quite obscure topics they will be difficult to research and clean up for other people. I can imagine them lying around for ages in this state. Of course, he ''could'' just add the bibliographical references he's working from; he evidently has some and it would cost him half a minute to add them if he chose to. But he's apparently acting in wilful determination to make work more difficult for other users.

I don't know if you'd think more admin action on these grounds is necessary; as for myself, I have half a mind of bringing this to Arbcom if simple admin action isn't sufficient. I've now reached the point where I want an outright ban on him creating new articles. ] ] 21:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Good morning. Gastrich cybersquatted the name in order to draw traffic from the maleboge.org discussion group and to his own, just as he had done with talkorigin (without the "s") and theinfidelguy (by adding the "the"). His aim is to prevent web surfers from seeing what he does not want them to see, so if they type "maleboge.com" instead of ".org," they'll see his discussion group. Of course, that group does not allow rebuttal, only Gastrich posts to it (as "Fraud Buster"), and pretty much everything he's put on the group has been exposed elsewhere, far and wide, as deliberate fabrications. It's comical because Gastrich has been exposed as "Fraud Buster" and, as a result, perpetuates fraud every time he pretends to "expose" fraud whenever he posts. "Fraud Buster" is a sock. We've got evidence for all of this, of course. Reggie Finely (''the'' Infidel Guy) obtained a trademark for the name, "Infidel Guy," and apparently initiated an action that forced Gastrich to offer to sell the hijacked domain back to him, and that deal went through. We have also obtained the trademark for "maleboge" and we'll be pursuing our options, because we have good evidence that the "maleboge.com" name was obtained in bad faith. ] 02:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Kip Kinkel

Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to Thurston High School shooting was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond Marksdaman My talk 19:36, 17 March 2009

On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Misplaced Pages's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Misplaced Pages.

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Misplaced Pages Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.

Time: Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, Edit-a-thon: 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (88th Street), New York City, New York 10128
