| Hey John254 -- thanks for quickly reverting the recent vandalism on the ] page. Much appreciated... ] 22:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Sorry== | |||
| I'm sorry about past remarks about you and Politician818 and seeing that he got blocked for all the things he said I hope you accept my apology. | |||
| I just got one question. Do you know if Misplaced Pages is lagging because wikipedia is the only website I go on that is extremly slow especially the loading time for pictures. --] 19:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Your edit to ]== | |||
| You added: ''However, some editors give a narrow construction to ], and claim that process should be adhered to unless there is a compelling justification for ]. It is said that the which began with a speedy deletion demonstrates the need to follow appropriate processes in most cases.'' | |||
| This doesn't make sense to me. Speedy deletion is performed hundreds of times every day. --] 02:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == {{tl|proposed}} == | |||
| That was two and a half years ago. The wiki evolves, and we strongly recommend against voting on any proposal these days. ] 17:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *Well, no. The issue is one of educating new users that they should use consensual discussion as a strong preference over voting. The reason why this is important, is that it comes up exceedingly often, and novice editors tend to jump to the wrong conclusion. WP:NOT a bureaucracy. ] 17:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| **It seems you're jumping to some wrong conclusions here. WP:DENY is ''not'' a good example (note how I am addressing the objections on its talk page, and how this cools down the war; voting would only polarize it further, and you'd get discussions on how long the vote would last, what suffrage is, and which % is required to accept, and more bureaucratic overhead). We have hundreds of proposals all over the wiki. I'd recommend you to read through some of the things in ] and ] to see how Misplaced Pages works and does not work with proposals. Some more recommended reading material includes ], ] and ]. ] 19:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: Polling is a part of wikipedia, please don't let Radient convince you otherwise. It is a tool, and it should be used properly - in a way that doesn't polarize arguments. But as a tool, its very useful and is a prime way to gauge consensus - without it, one would have to be deeply apart of the discussion to even get an inkling of what consensus might be. ] 06:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Huh? == | |||
| VIE has absolutely nothing to do with the CVU. Neither MFD nor DRV are, nor have ever been, a vote, and for the overriding principle of the closing admin to delete CVU you'd have to ask him, but it had nothing to do with VIE. Kindly stop panic mongering, you are making a mountain out of the proverbial mole hill. ] 22:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : This is a perhaps more serious warning on the same subject. Please stop aggressive campaigning on this. Leave Misplaced Pages's normal consensus-building mechanisms to work. --] 23:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Actually, it is an accepted and common practice to post information about ongoing discussions on project pages in boldface type -- for example, see , as well as the many other postings about ongoing AFD discussions accessible from the page history of ]. It does not appear that administrators have removed these postings, or that members of ] have been warned to refrain from such postings -- despite the fact that ] is explicitly partisan as to the preferred outcome of AFD discussions. ] 04:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Thank you == | |||
| Hi. I'd like to thank you for reverting vandalism on my userpage. (It's kinda my thing to thank somone any time they do that =D ) You shouldn't get too interested in it, as the Taracka thing is pretty lame, and ] already has it under control.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other ], or you can post a message on ]. ] <sup>]</sup> 15:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Not a bureaucracy == | |||
| Misplaced Pages is not a bureaucracy, and does not have a strictly formalized system for creating guidelines, or indeed most other things. As such, kindly stop opposing progress (or documenting current affairs) for purely formalistic reasons. If you have an opinion, it will be heard; if your only argument is that process isn't followed, you're not really contributing to the conversation (see also ], ] and ]; please do read up, because you appear to be misinformed about how several parts of Misplaced Pages function). | |||
| Please note that several guidelines document the status quo; if some people don't like that status quo, they are free to make a counterproposal, but that doesn't make the guideline any less of a guideline or any less consensual (until and unless the proposal manages to actually change the status quo). Thus, you are free to make a proposal for a more formalized way of doing things (in fact, the French Misplaced Pages has one, which includes actual voting) but until such a proposal passes, bureaucracy does not prevail. ] 21:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *Thanks. I'm sure that if we discuss a bit more we can make the children's privacy issue a workable guideline. ] 16:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == sampson nanton controversy == | |||
| in the ], i saw that you removed the controversy section. this information is accurate, although negative, and is the subject of an immense uproar in my country.] 20:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :The information may well be accurate, but it cannot be added to a Misplaced Pages article without a credible source. Actually, all information in Misplaced Pages articles should be referenced, as described in ]. However, unreferenced negative biographical information about living people is heavily disfavored by ]:<blockquote>Biographies of living people need special care because biographies containing unsourced material might negatively affect someone's life and could have legal consequences. Remove unsourced material about living persons immediately if it could be viewed as criticism, and do not move it to the talk page. </blockquote> ] 20:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::so if it is reported, and i can provide a link to the source for reference, then can it be posted? i just want to be clear. ] 20:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hey John, thank you for supporting my recent ]. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. I really appreciate your support. Cheers, ] (]) 22:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Comment from ]== | |||
| You were revert warring over ] earlier tonight, and you have been gaming the ] by asking other people to do the fourth revert for you. Both revert warring and gaming the system are disruptive. Do not do that again. ] 00:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :] states that "the policy specifically does not apply to groups." ] only prohibits repeated posting across multiple editors' talk pages or project pages -- it doesn't prohibit posting information on a single project's pages. Indeed, ] frequently contains boldface announcements about ongoing AFD discussions, such as those seen in the example -- and it doesn't appear that the involved editors have ever been warned that they must not engage in this practice. Furthermore, ] has been engaging in genuine internal spamming to solicit support for the protected version of ] by contacting four different editors who oppose the warning removal language on their talk pages: , but not contacting ], who restored the warning removal language. ] 02:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::I have objected to: the edit starting the war, to the edit war itself and to the block. See my comments ].--] 04:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *You know, John, it would be helpful if you would simply talk ''to'' me instead of talk ''about'' me. Blue Tie's response on my talk page is far more constructive in this matter than your complaint on ANI. ] 13:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::I noticed that you have removed the statement from Vandalism regarding the issue of warnings. Question: Is this because you believe that the concensus is in the direction of NOT prohibiting the removal or warnings? --] 04:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::1. You should express your objections on the talk page so that they are part of the history of the discussion. | |||
| ::2. Yes the current version expressly permits the removal of warnings by a user on a whim. It says: "this policy does not itself prohibit the removal and archival of comments at the user's discretion." And you were the one to put that language in there, even after Radient put in a two sided (weasle word) version. You may not "read" your edit as permitting such removals, but the "]" would read those words and say "I can do almost anything with my talk page". If that was not your intent, you should re-edit your words. | |||
| ::3. Interesting that you say there were only two editing in favor of one way. I once said on the talk page regarding concensus and voting that wikipedia does EVERYTHING by a vote. I was lectured by someone about how this is not the case, and I used the example of how, when there are disputes, the party with one extra vote will win the edit battle and thus the whole war. This was rejected at the time but it is (again) shown to be the way wikipedia works. Not concensus... but rather raw democracy, of only the interested. Which brings me to my final point: | |||
| ::4 there were many people who wanted to see restrictions. Where have they all gone? Does it mean that they do not care so much? --] 06:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Discussion at ] == | |||
| Hi there. Our discussion at ] doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. Would you mind if I notified a few people about the discussion so they can contribute if they are not yet aware of it? I was specifically thinking of the people who made good-faith contributions on the talk page of the proposal, as they are the ones that are most obviously involved. See the copy of the talk page preserved ] (as pointed out in my opening comments at the deletion review). ] 10:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Dude, you don't understand == | |||
| All right, I will stop vandalizing. But this is the reason why I was vandalizing. You see, Aaron Carter lives in my neighborhood and he always comes biking along the sidewalk next to my house and says very crude and malicious things to my kids. So I hate him. Everybody else thinks he is some kind singer but he is not. If you live in my neighborhood, you know the real Aaron Carter. He is one of the neighborhood bullies. One time, he left a malicious letter on my doorstep which said he was going to beat up my children. I really hope you understand and forgive me. ] 03:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Please see ], ], and ]. Per these policies, unreferenced negative information shouldn't be added to Misplaced Pages biographies, and will be reverted on sight. Extreme cases of insertion of unreferenced negative information are treated as vandalism. If you wish to insert your critiques of Aaron Carter into his Misplaced Pages biography, please provide credible references. Thank you. ] 03:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Confused == | |||
| Hi, I was doing RC patrol and came accross ]. After more or less finishing for the evening, I went to check to see if the user had been blocked. Looking at his talk page, I saw that he had deleted all the vandalism warnings. I then restored the vandalism warnings and reported him to the vandalism page -- he had been warned against removing warnings before. I then went back to his talk page and saw which looks as though ''I'' removed his warnings. It is conceivable that I did so by mistake, but my guess is that some of his edits were removed by an administrator because they contained offensive language. Either that or ''he'' has admin capabilities? I would very much appreciate your looking into this, if you are able. If it was my mistake, I apologize. I suppose I could have selected the wrong version to revert to? But I distinctly remember reverting to a version that had lots of warnings on it. Again, I would appreciate your looking into this if you are able. Thanks. --] <font color = "blue"><sup>]</sup></font> 02:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
