== Mutual funds and Wikibooks ==


] from the past month (August 2020).
Hi Pakaran. I saw your note on Jimbo's page. Note that investment advice might or might not be acceptable on wikibooks: the info itself would probably have to find an existing book, as something not even a page long is not a book (or, a larger book could be started that would include that in a section, but it's a bad idea to start books that don't have people interested in writing the rest of them). We've absolutely asserted that WB is not a dumping ground for WP content. Wikicities might be a better suggestion. ] 18:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

==Majel Barrett image==
:] ]
Is there any way of reinstate the image that was deleted for ]? I'm willing to bet a proper Image tag could be added and all would be fine, but that's hard to do when the file has been deleted. Someone may just re-upload the same image anyway. For a page that is part of a major project like Star Trek it might have been more sporting to drop a message on the Discussion page rather than doing a speedy. (I disagree with Jimbo on this particular edict, especially with articles that are part of a set like this). Cheers. ] 04:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
: I guess my issue with this is that I wasn't aware this image was in danger of being deleted (I assume that it did go through the ] process, correct?). Had a note been dropped onto the discussion page, I or someone else might have been able to rectify the situation as I have that article on my watchlist. (PS. I did not upload that particular image, so I have no idea what it was. Most likely it was either a screenshot or a promotional image, both of which are kosher under Free Use; all it needed was the proper image tag notation.) I personally don't spend time looking at Jimbo's personal page; he should add this latest instruction to the front page or do some sort of blanket PM about it. Cheers. ] 04:48, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
:: I left a suggestion on Jimbo's talk page that his instructions should be posted to the main page and/or the Upload Images page so more people are aware of what's going on, otherwise a lot of these deleted images are simply going to reappear, probably without anything changed regarding their image tags. ] 04:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
: I'll throw in a "me too," since you deleted one of mine as well... I don't have all my images on my watch list (would make it excessively long and probably add extra server load; I do however have the article it was on watched), and had no idea one of my images (which stated its source and the rational for being able to use it in a gfdl environment, but didn't have a specific tag) was going to be deleted. Now I need to track down the original again (hopefully, might be impossible), as when my laptop's hard drive crashed, it went poof. Of course, I know you're (probably) not responsible for this policy, but I still am going to have to mess around all night trying to re-find the image. :) ] 06:46, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

==Bush jr. Branding==
I realize it sounds far-fetched when you read it, but I would never report something for fact on dubious authority. The BBC World Service is without a doubt the most credible journalistic source in the business- it's the only one I never found in error (not counting futlities such as the pronunciation of a name in my native Dutch) in decades of critical listening. So if they report something without reserve, and even include it in the weekly digest "Pick of the Week", I take it, though I have no access to their documentation, that the burden of proof is on the other side.
Surely every self-respecting government knows what the BBC broadcasts, so if it had been an utter lie there should have been a denial, which probably would have stirred a scandal, especially now the Blair-Bush axis is accentuated by the Iraqi 'peace front'. If yoy know of a denial, I'ld be happy to include that; you will see that I nevertheless chose the cautious phrasing "widely reported", leaving room for doubt which I personally don't see room for. I'm afraid we can't wait till it makes the history books.

As for the ''freshmen'': organizations haze those that are initiated in ''their'' circle, regardless which academical year they are in, so it is impossible to haze but not freshmen in that sense- so I change the word freshman to initiant to clear that one up ] 20:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== NPOV stuff ==
I am not sure why you wrote

"Hi, I was wondering if you'd like to read our NPOV policy before editing further? Thanks :) Pakaran 04:54, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)" but I don't think it is cogent - whatever I was doing.
A major problem with Misplaced Pages is the people who believe in ESP, PK etc fill the pages with their POV, people who adore Ayn Rand's works overfill the pages of Objectivism and watch like hawks for changes, people who believe that the Earth is young and the story of Noah's Ark is literal truth fill pages with strawman arguments against themselves which they then demolish with their arguments, and they, too, watch like hawks for changes, and so on.
The Noah's Ark story is important allegory and may have deeper meanings. It is also part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. But if you want to take it as the literal truth, then it makes no sense to conjure up "scientific" objections and then shoot them down. To do so is mucho POV. If you believe that the number 88, for example is a lucky number - OK. But if you then come up with objections against beliefs in lucky numbers, and fill up Misplaced Pages with these concocted objections and your own "scientific" rationalizations as to why 88 is "lucky" - nuts to you, as McAuliffe once said. Anyway, where did you see me doing NPOV stuff in your opinion? Thanks ] 01:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

==User Jtdirl==
Hi could you unblock ] he has been unfairly been accused of being a sockpuppet, the person that I am allegedly a sockpuppet of has been unblocked. The one edit that I have made has since been shown to be accurate but this admin abuses his power to block users.

So are you going to unblock me?

==Blocked ip==

Hi,

Re the IP block, the user in question is suspected of being a particular troll who under an arbcom ruling is automatically blocked indefinitely for posting such comments. (They have been blocked indefinitely at a variety of IPs and usernics already.) As to their comments, they have left themselves open to criminal prosecution. If any one of the millions of users visiting WP sees that edit in the edit history of the article in question they could report it to the police. Indeed in many jurisdictions where mandatory reporting exists, the mere suspicion that someone may be a child abuser due to their comments would produce a legal requirement that someone finding that comment would ''have'' to report it to the police and the police would ''have'' to investigate it. The identity of the user making the claim would then be traced (as can be done relatively easily in most cases) and then the complaint passed on from whichever jurisdiction the report was made in by police forces to the local force of the person who made the comment. There is as a result a strong possibility that at best the person who made that claim in the edit summary could have a visit from the police. There is a possibility that a criminal investigation may be opened against them. Even if there is no evidence that their claim is true, posting it would be an instantly sackable offence in most jobs if a work computer was used, and would earn instant expulsion if posted from a school computer. It is quite a serious matter, far more so than was actually conveyed by the message. (A lawyer friend to whom I described the edit earlier reckoned that it if reported to the police the comment, even if as is likely to be the case merely a joke, could get the poster into ''massive'' legal hotwater. Given the nature of the comment an indefinite ban was the only option, not least to protect WP both from possible media attack and from any of the legal complexities that could arise from such a claim. As mentioned, comments implying criminal behaviour by the poster or anyone else in an edit summary have generated an automatic instant indefinitive ban.) ]]\<sup><font color="blue">]</font></sup> 00:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello there.

Incidentally, I apologize for using the rollback button on what was clearly not straight vandalism (nor vandalism of any kind). That can give the wrong impression. My concern is to avoid an unnecessary altercation between administrators. ] ] 22:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I saw the discussion on his talk. One-sided, admittedly, as Jtdirl didn't see fit to respond (which is unfortunate). While WP:FU does indeed indicate that fair-use images shouldn't be on user pages, it does not specify what kind of action to be taken in this case. While we're quoting policy, I do believe it's frowned upon to edit a protected page, especially if you're involved in the dispute. I think it best to let well enough alone in this case, and await Jtdirl's response. Regards, and thanks for your prompt response, ] ] 22:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::I'm coming round to that view, although I'm uncomfortable with the manner in which this has been handled. Surely this could have waited until his page was unprotected? I was also fooled by the notice at the top of WP:FU, which proclaimed the page a guideline (not seeing that a section below was marked official, and included the permissive sentence). I suppose that's what I get for preferring to work article-side.

== Request For Protection Until Dispute Resolved ==

Hi, i want to know if its possible to protect the ] article. A while back i performed a revision of the page after a near 2 month dispute on the articles contents. After intense discussion and several revisions of the talk page on the since deleted ], one of the users has proceeded to start vandalising pages ive edited. This user is ]. This user was involved in the debate in opposition to the revision i wished to make, which was made due to consensus being reached on the revision and the argument being abandonded against it being posted. Since the users return he has demanded that i am vandalising pages, and has claimed me of using sock puppets to make edits to pages, and has claimed several users dislike me and refuse to work with me. Both of these claims are unsourced. Dante also seems to exhibit Meglomanical Point of View, reverting any edits made to pages listed on his user page, on the basis he 'owns' the articles. I do not know clearly how to deal with this user, and i have posted this message to several admins as i wish to ask advice from several admins i have had no previous contact with, as i do not wish to seem biased. I hope that the page can be protected against this vandalism, as it is disrupting Misplaced Pages to prove a point, which along with the users other actions against me, is in violationg of several Misplaced Pages policys. Sorry for having to seek help this way, but i am at a loss at the best way to handle this users personal vendetta against me. ] 17:17, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

== Advocate at Depleted uranium mediation? ==

I noticed that you are active in several topics on the boundary between physics and chemistry. Would you please consider advocating for my position in ]'s upcoming ]? I ask because it's currently 3-against-1. --'']'' 23:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind consideration and reply. I did see that you were listed as an AMA member on one place (your userid was the only visited link of the membership) where it said, "just ask." But I also saw that you were not listed on the page where AMA members indicate their willingness to accept new clients. So I understand completely if any or all of this isn't feasible.

My most important hopes are that you (or another advocate -- any recommendations?) might be able to make sure I get all the questions posed if I am off-line while the moderator is on-line, because over the next few weeks I'm probably going to have to put in 100 hours for a new client, which means my wikiparticipation will plummet until the end of January. And that if I am slow in responding you/my advocate can calm the moderator to prevent any railroading or the like.

Further, you/my advocate are most welcome to get as far in to the technical details as you like. I can offer you my best-guess cache of on-line research as follows. I predict these will be the most important sources in the mediation that I already have on line:

:# First U.S. military proof of the method and magnitude of chemical toxicity, (compare to showing uranium ten times worse than plutonium);
:# Proof the U.S. military didn't look for uranium trioxide gas (a/k/a UO<sub>3</sub>(g) a/k/a uranyl oxide gas) (search for "75 percent"; observe only particulate measurements);
:# The 2000-era vet birth defect stats;
:# Evidence of uranyl ion near DU munitions fires;
:# Health Physics Society's study of particulate (non-gas) dispersion patterns;
:# Asaf Durakovich's review of uranium toxicity; and perhaps
:# see also my open directory for more.

There are a few essential papers that I only have on hardcopy right now, especially the 1960 Ackerman paper which you may have seen in the most recent talk page archive, with its citation search of seven supporting subsequent papers. I can make all my hardcopy available if need be, but I'm not going to scan them all in until I know which in particular are needed.

Do you think you can make sure that I get a fair chance to respond to questions from the mediator, to let him or her know that I'm not around if I'm not around, and I'm not trying to ignore or delay him or her?

Anything more would be icing on the cake, but if you want to, the above should get you ready.

If you can't or don't want to do this, would you please recommend someone?

Thanks again. --'']'' 01:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, then. Let me know if schoolwork gets too heavy; if so I'll find a less busy advocate. I promise I'll check email and my talk page daily, but some days I might have to just mention that things will have to wait until the weekend. I hope that's okay. --'']'' 02:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

In what way are adding the words of Samuel Alito from his application to the Reagan administration, to an article about Samuel Alito POV. I would think anything factual would have to be considered NPOV] 21:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

== Depleted uranium dispute resolution ==

As agreed, I had the DU article unlocked and replaced it with the /basic verson with links to the Health effects and Gulf War syndrome pages, bringing this round to an end. I think the fact that we managed to hammer this out by ourselves is a feather in our caps and an example to all who are in conflicts on the 'pedia. I thank you all. --] 01:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

==Seeking guidance==

I am seeking your guidance and advice on a particular issue. ] page on wikipedia was initiated by me, and I have contributed to the page from time to time. As per policy of the wikipedia anyone can use the contents of wikipedia, but I understand that use of such contents should indicate the source, that is, the wikipedia. The contents of the page Mahuri have been used in the site without giving any reference to wikipedia - though I am glad that they have used our contents. In this case, a problem may arise at a future date if that website takes a stand that the contents of page ] on wikipedia have been copied from that site and thus violates copyrights. In an alternative scenario, a user here may tag our Mahuri page with copyright violation under the impression that our contents have been copied from that site, reference to which was given by me long back as an external link when that site was not active and having only a welcome page. Although I am not aware of any such issue, which wikipedians may have encountered in the past, I believe that such a situation may have arisen earlier too. I seek your advice and guidance to deal with this issue, which you are requested to kindly on . I also utilize this opportunity to say Hello to you. Thanks. --] 13:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, thank you for your help over the past month. I am so glad we got a settlement before a mediator took the case. Your help was instrumental. I think the agreement will hold.

By the way, nickel is in platinum and palladium's group, but your recent comment which claimed it wasn't was associated with a good edit because other group's metals have been claimed by some CF researchers. --'']'' 12:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see ''']''' and ''']'''). As a result, '''] has been ammended''' twice (see for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the ] for more details). Also of note is the '''Valentines ball''' that will take place in on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, '''the spamlist has been dissolved''' - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming ''']'''. These will take place from '''12:00 UTC on ]th to 11:59 UTC on ]th'''. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are '''already listed on ]'''. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, ''if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again''. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,<br />

==New wiki==

Hey Pakaran. I'm looking around for people who might be interested in a new wiki I'm working on. It's about depression, and hopefully it will be a real resource for people who suffer from all types of the disorder. I see you mention your past problems with depression on your user page, and I wondering if you would be interested in contributing. I think people who have gone through this, or still going through this, are going to be the best people to help make it a useful place. The wiki is at Wikicities, which I'm sure you know is a project of Jimbo and Angela's. If you want to have a look, the new depression wiki is at http://depression.wikicities.com .

== Can you help me with ]? ==

Greetings; thanks again for your help months ago with ]. I once again find myself in a situation where I have a whole lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to devote to Misplaced Pages. Hoever, the content disputes have, more-or-less, gone favorably for me, with DV8 2XL placing some of the disputed content from ] into the ] article, although there are still some questions about whether he was acting in good faith.

However, at this point I am having some serious problems with ], who has, as a non-party, asked for an injunction against me in arbitration because he didn't like the fact that I insisted on (1) keeping the discussions in chronological order, and (2) compiled a Table of authorities so that the arbitrators could easily compare the quality of the sources I am using with those of my opponents in arbitration.

Yesterday, he blocked me of 3RR for what I believe was simple reversion of vandalism. Please see ].

I don't want to ask for Nandesuka's joinder to arbitration, because that would just complicate things for the arb com. However, if Nandesuka believes that his behavior has been correct, then I will.

Would you please ask him, as a third party, what he thinks about his actions?

Thank you again. --'']'' 18:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== Templates on WP:CHU ==

Hi Pakaran. On ], we have been requested to use the templates <nowiki>{{done}} and {{not done}}</nowiki> when we grant or deny a request, so that ] can archive those accordingly (it recognizes the templates). Cheers, ] 20:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

:Hi again. You're welcome. I guess we could add it to BUR, but we'd have to stay on top of it, since those circumstances can change quickly -- I mean, not a month ago it was a different bot doing the archiving (EssjayBot II), which used to cross-reference our signatures and the timestamp, achiving everything that was 48 hours old. In the not-so-distant future, a different bot might require a different procedure -- I don't mind, it beats having to do the archiving ourselves. ;)<br>Speaking of news, here's one that I don't know if you've seen: soon we will have no more email addresses to rename. The software has been modified not to accept names containing the "@" symbol. It just happened 2 days ago, so we'll have to rename the accounts created until then, but that should be the end of that. Cheers, ] 22:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

==Regarding ]==
Hi, you are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as an active member of ]. If you aren't currently accepting inquiries for AMA, or if you have resigned, please de-list yourself from ]. If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on ]. We're going to put AMA on wheels. :) Sorry for the template spamming - we're just trying to update our records, after we had a huge backlog earlier in the week (if you've been taking cases, then sorry, and please ignore this :)). Again, sorry, and thanks! <strong>]]]</strong> 21:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by ], is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Misplaced Pages policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Misplaced Pages because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
