Mark, Mark here. My level of stress is high over this article. My concern is factual information in context. What we have here is one partisan ramrodding his view into the article. Many have noticed a pro-Iranian slant. It's no accident. No one is disputing the actual US actions in this conflict, only the inflationary puffery propaganda as arranged and selectively sourced in the article as it stands now. No one can add context and sources without having it reverted repeatedly and with insults to anyone trying to participate as a "POV Pusher." I'm an Internet crap magnet when it comes to bluntness. It's a family trait. I say what I think, but this is beyond the pale. Look at the evidence and weigh in if you would. Thanks. ]

This is not a joke and no jokes should be made about it. The message above was a template found in the image in question; see {{no rationale|month=November|day=24|year=2006}}
The uploader (Raul654) according to his signature in the image history) needs to provide a rationale or delete the image entirely from Misplaced Pages Commons, as it is violating copyrights and not within fair use without any or a convincing rationale for fair use given. It is entirely inappropriate for User:Essjay to reply as he has done above.

:Oh lighten up; if you knew anything about Raul654 or myself, you'd know we both take the fair use policy very seriously, and are both quite experienced with it, what with being long-time en admins and Commons admins. The fact of the matter is, Raul uploaded the image long before fair use was an issue on Misplaced Pages, and he's not given it a second thought since then; somebody uploaded a new image over it, and a third person went back and reverted it yesterday, triggering you to tell him it needed a rationale. He'll get to it when he's next around, and if in the meantime, we decide to have some witty banter over it, well then that's just too bad. <span style="font-family: Verdana">] ]</span> 00:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

is ''at all relevant'' to these issues about the tagged images?! (See ]: "Comment on content, not on the contributor.") I was simply following Misplaced Pages policy--commenting on content not the people making the content; the content of the message to Raul is a ''template'' provided by Misplaced Pages! Of course, ''I'' knew you were joking, but there are new Wikipedians who follow links, and ''they'' need to know that the matter of this content is no joking matter (they need good examples, not bad or misleading ones). They have no idea who you are either. Being an administrator should mean setting a good example.

== Administrators will no longer be ] ==
The uploaders just need to supply the rationales (which they probably cannot, since the images are ''not'' within fair use but copyrighted properties), or (as will eventually probably happen automatically) ''DELETE'' the images entirely from the Misplaced Pages image database. ''When'' they get around to doing it. If you know Raul so well, perhaps you can ''alert'' him to this problem via ''e-mail''. I don't know either of you from Adam, and you don't know me either. "Comment on the content, not the contributor." That is, stick with what you might know rather than something or someone about which or whom you know nothing. Your reply was unnecessary and frivolous, funny as it may have been. If you want to joke with Raul--do it privately, not in such a public way. The idea is to solve the problem relating to these images; not to make jokes back and forth to entertain people.--NYScholar 04:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


A ] Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove ] from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with ], choose to ] this permission to yourself.

I dispute the relevance of the statement "Raul uploaded the image long before fair use was an issue on Misplaced Pages. . . ." See the image page. He is the original uploader; the tag says there needs to be fair use rationale; he would know that (even in 2003, and he's been around since 2003, according to his talk and user page and the discussions on this talk page.)

== A somewhat premature New Year's greeting ==
"Fair Use" has been an issue on Misplaced Pages for at least a couple or a few years or more. Policies about uploading images have had "fair use" tags and all kinds of criteria that many Wikipedians have ignored for too long, but the issue has been an issue throughout the history of establishing those policies. Please do not mislead people who might come to this talk page via links to the tagged images in the articles using the photos. The matter is really no cause for frivolity. Misplaced Pages is concerned about potential lawsuits due to copyright violations throughout it. Fair use and copyright are legal matters, not causes for joking. Most people who read Misplaced Pages have little interest in the personalities of its contributors. They just want to read useful and reliable articles. I would have preferred if the article in question on ] could have kept the image that is more recent, but it is not within fair use either. Pinter is a living author, and most photographs of him are copyright-protected by their professional photographers, not in the public domain or within fair use. Images from the Nobel Prize site are not within fair use (despite people's protestations to the contrary); they are both copyrighted and trademarked; the whole issue has been hotly disputed in Misplaced Pages in previous articles relating to the ]s. --NYScholar 04:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

:I've removed the tag, as it doesn't apply here. Note that the tag clearly says "uploaded after May 4, 2006." In all other instances of a lack of a rationale, you should just ask the uploader to provide one, it's not speediable.

Hello Raul, I just had a question about an upcoming Main Page FA, specifically the December 2 date. I requested the ] for that date (the 201st anniversary) but was somewhat disappointed to see that you had selected another article. I'm not really sure how this works, but I very much hope that you can give Austerlitz another consideration as I believe it to be more qualified than the current selection. I also noticed that the Battle of Midway had been given the December 1 date some time ago (probably why you decided not to go with another military article the next day), but that battle is in June, though I don't mean to suggest that military articles are selected based on anniversaries in any way. I was just hoping you could take one more look at Austerlitz for December 2; I firmly believe it is more appropriate given the circumstances. Thank you very much.] 01:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

==Question about FA requested for main page==

Hey Mark, I'm just writing to satisfy my curiousity about why an article another user and I requested be on the main page a few months ago hasn't been on yet. The article is ] (was requested ). I know the question makes me sound kind of disgruntled or jaded or whatever, but, really, I ask this in total innocence and good faith. I suspect that it isn't suitable for one reason or another and, if that's the case, I'd just like to know for sure so I can stop thinking about it.

== a message from a revert weary user ==

Mark-
(met you briefly at Wikimania and Philly meetup)
I’m writing to you because I know you are involved in a lot of behind-the-scenes and policy type discussions. I almost never participate in that type of thing; I just like to work on articles. Anyway, I wanted to express my opinion to someone sensible who also has a voice in ‘the community’.

I’ve been contributing since June 03, and it seems to me that something has changed lately. Recently, every time I look at my watchlist there is nothing but 1000 vandalisms that need to be reverted. It has begun to feel like more of a chore than a hobby.

I think that there are many proposals for policy changes to improve this situation, and I am sure that they have been argued over at length. The only thing I would like to convince you of is that ''something'' needs to change. This project only works because enjoy working on Misplaced Pages. I think that most users who stop having fun won’t raise a stink, they’ll just slowly fade away. I don’t want to see that and I hope things can change. ] 22:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== Ann Coulter ==

Could you please explain your recent reverts here? Coulter wrote one or more columns critical of the U.S. government's response to 9/11. She was particularly hard on Norman Mineta. There is a section in the article on that. Someone renamed the section, to imply that it was about Arabs and Muslims. (They had of course been mentioned in 9/11 columns, but these columns were far from ABOUT them.) Then more Arab/Muslim stuff percolated into the section. (BTW, that stuff has an aroma of malicious editing, since there is a bad match between the what the citations say and what the edits say. I know it's not YOUR stuff, but it IS questionable stuff.) Then the section got cleaned up, with invitations to put Arab/Muslim stuff in its own section. Now you've put the old stuff back in, including the malicious-smelling stuff. IMHO, things are pretty misleading in this section now. ] 04:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:The section is *not* about her 9/11 comments; it's about her numerous racist comments regarding Muslims and Arabs (many, but not all, of which also pertain to 9/11). It was always that way; the name was changed to '9/11 comments' about a month ago, and should not have been.
:As to the citations - if there is anything that is not backed up by the citations, feel free to point it out. However, I checked half a dozen quotes in that section, including all the ones I added back, and they all appear verbatim in the citations. ] 20:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::When one reads the Coulter columns that are cited and discussed in the section, it's pretty clear that they're about airport security, and that they mostly criticize the government. I would certainly disagree with you that the section covering them is about "numerous racist comments," though she often makes silly/stupid/racist comments to illustrate her substantive points.

::Regarding the citations in the questionable paragraphs, it would help if you could point out the verbatim words you found about the Jyllands-Posten Muslim cartoons controversy. When I checked them, I didn't find Jyllands in any context that applied to what was said in the paragraph that cited them. ] 21:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:::The second half of the quote appears in - ''"Ann used the term 'raghead' when describing what our homeland security policies should be: 'I think our motto should be post-9-11, "raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences."'''
:::As to the first half ("What if they start having one of these bipolar episodes with nuclear weapons?"), I can't verify that she said it in that particular speech, but it has already appeared in her columns, along with a nearly identical second half - "''Iran is certainly implying that it has nukes. Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but you can't take chances with berserk psychotics. What if they start having one of these bipolar episodes with a nuclear bomb? If you don't want to get shot by the police, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, then don't point a toy gun at them. Or, as I believe our motto should be after 9/11: Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that's offensive. How about "camel jockey"? What? Now what'd I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?''" -- ] 23:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::::Maybe my question wasn't clear. I'm trying to find if either A) the ] material is in the citations and I missed it, or B) if it is NOT in the citations and you put it in your edit anyway.

::::The Jyllands-Posten controversy involves a blasphemy against the Prophet (PBUH), for which the blasphemers and their enablers have famously been condemned to death. I don't believe that Ann Coulter has ever gotten involved in it, and I can't find it mentioned in the citations you use to support your assertion that she has. I DO believe that malicious editors (not necessarily including you) have persistently and wrongly tried to tar Ann Coulter with the blasphemous Jyllands-Posten brush. If they are doing it here, it needs to be dealt with. ] 04:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::You're right, in that those two citations don't appear to relate to that particular controversy; you're wrong in thinking she's never gotten herself involved in it. Just read the first paragraph of the citation I pointed out above - ''"The amazing part of the great Danish cartoon caper isn't that Muslims immediately engage in acts of mob violence when things don't go their way. That is de rigueur for the Religion of Peace. Their immediate response to all bad news is mass violence."'' ] 04:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::Thank you for finally pointing it out. The citation wasn't in your edit of the article (and still isn't, unless you've added it). When I saw the edit, it sure seemed to be ], and therefore to qualify for immediate, discussion-free deletion.

::::::Now if we can just get past the point where encyclopedia editors think that saying "camel jockey" turns a pithy, notable column into a hateful racist screed. (They don't think that way at ''Britannica'' and ''World Book.'' Nor do most readers, IMHO.)] 05:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::::"Camel jockey", like "nigger, "spic", "chink", "raghead", and "kyke", are all racist terms. Period. It may not invalidate her point, but just because she has a point it doesn't exhonerate her from making racist comments either.

::It's definitely another page to add to the watchlist. However, it doesn't require any more edits than already used.

== A random "Thank You" for your efforts ==
== ] ==


Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.
Hello,


Cheers!
I have a habit of asking stupid questions. Comes from being a PhD student. Moreover, my questions are frequently so stupid that people almost invariably take them as sarcasm, instead of the straightforward requests for information that they actually are.

This user may have left Misplaced Pages. Raul654 has not edited Misplaced Pages since April 2023. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.
For your tireless work in making Misplaced Pages better, for keeping Template:Feature up-to-date, for doing the grunt work of cleaning up Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates, for mediating in disputes, for adding lots of really nice pictures, and for still finding the time to work on articles!

Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized
Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States.
Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a
moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of
Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to
escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens
from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Proposed deletion of Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope'

Notice

The article Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope' has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Consensus has been established via discussion at WP:PLANTS and previous AfDs/PRODs that individual cultivars are not presumed notable in the same way as natural species, and must meet GNG to have a standalone article. Database and commercial catalog entries are not considered sufficient for this purpose. I did not find any reliable in-depth non-commercial non-database independent significant coverage of this cultivar.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

Information iconThis is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Parr

A tag has been placed on Jack Parr, requesting that it be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is a disambiguation page which either: disambiguate only one extant Misplaced Pages page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"; or disambiguate zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title. (See section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 2pou (talk) 20:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Established policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of June 2023.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 02:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

A random "Thank You" for your efforts

Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.

ITN archives

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Misplaced Pages:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives I hope you see this message someday. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Joe Valachi.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Valachi.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tim Landy (talk) 10:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of TeleZapper

Notice

The article TeleZapper has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable product that has been unreferenced since 2006. Found one in-depth review but not enough to satisfy WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nthep (talk) 18:32, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of TeleZapper for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article TeleZapper is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/TeleZapper until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
