I sent you no email. As is clear from our discussion on the Topalov discussion page, you seem egregiously irrational and childishly stubborn- no offence intended- so I can't imagine what good it would do to email you. It seems obvious we aren't communicating on the same wavelength. I suggest mediation vis-a-vis the Topalov article. It's far more civilized, and far more productive. ] 02:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Just wondered what you thought about this section (apparently EG is so important that its been given the second highest section position after "Writing Style") which now contains direct links to our user pages and identifies us as Wikipedians The Inquirer has complained about. I not sure what the policy on this is or where to go with it , but I'm a bit concerned that 1) it potentially acts as a vandal magnet for our user pages and 2) sets a bad precedent for participation in afds i.e. if wikipedian is a major arguer for delete in whatever meme/fad/gimmick by some tabloid style website which does have its own valid wikipedia article. The fad article is deleted and then the tabloid writes an angry article complaining about the wikipedian, and the wikipedian is subsequently included in the wikipedia article on the tabloid website as a complained-about person (this is not only potentially encouraging vandals but also possibly acting discouraging people from arguing for delete in afds). I wanted to get your opinion before I query the matter with admins. (I think if we just reverted the edits ourselves - it wouldn't stick and Inquirer fans would hassle us) Thanks. ] 02:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Its not so much on how the GameCube did as much as Nintendo right now is precieved as kiddy still. This is actually really similar to how they marketed the NES. Video games weren't popular so Nintendo marketed the NES as an entertainment center and made R.O.B. to make the system different then the competition. Either way no one really knows all of Nintendo's reasons for the systems name. P.S. I'm removing the conversation from the Wii talk page because its off topic. <font color="#000080">]</font><small><font color="#00A86B">]</font></small> 04:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why you erased Jefferson Davis's middle name. His middle name is Finis and there is no dispute about that. Davis was the last of the children in his family and they gave him the middle name "Finis" because he was the last one his parents planned on having. Is there a good reason for erasing it?

I'm not sure whether you are familiar with any chess engines/programs or whether your bias in the Rybka article is due to a vested interest. Readers come to Misplaced Pages to gain an unbiased view on topics because the authors of those products do not always state the truth on their websites.

Why would you deny people from Canada to have access to researching this individual. He appears on the government of Ontario and Government of Canada registry for active lobbyists.

Also, it should be encouraged to review already public information on google and on the government of Ontario Integrity Commission website at: http://lobbyist.oico.on.ca/Integrity/RegistrationGeneral.nsf/PublicFramesWeb?OpenPage


Having carefully considered the viewpoint you made on the The Inquirer, I can see where you are coming from. Is there an official page or response from Misplaced Pages on this issue? Do you have a source for the claims you made against The Inquirer? ]
Also, a number of collegues also have entries in Misplaced Pages including: Leslie Noble, Deb Hutton, Gerald Caplan, Ian Brodie, Rod Love

On this page http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33033 The Inquirer make several statements, "...That follows absurd and frenzied claims the INQUIRER and Jennifer Chandra had conspired to create the whole phenomenon. The deletions seem to be part of a campaign by Wikiparrots Dionyseus and Bwithh, who took it upon themselves to out the Everywhere Girl's identity and also to make derogatory comments about INQUIRER editorial."
Why is this individual singled out? Perhaps he is not in the right category on wikipedia?


How can you as a Misplaced Pages editor be making derogatory claims about the Inquirer, and then expect to maintain integrity? Do you have a record of the claims you made against the Inquirer, and any evidence to back it up? Perhaps you were "misquoted" and so presenting to the reader what you actually said may clear this up.

Hi Dionyseus. I noticed that you have marked a few articles for speedy deletion, and you have voted for "Speedy delete" a few times also today in AfD. I just wanted to remind you that Speedies are really for things like absolute nonsense, blank pages, vanity pages, etc, and not for lack of notability. You can read ] for more info.

== CSD tagging of non-notable articles ==

Please note that CSD A7 is for pages which assert no notability about their subjects. That may not mean they are non-notable.

If all the article says is "''<X>'' is a professor from Germany," it would be CSD A7 material. But if the article also mentions "''<X>'' is the inventor of device ''<Y>'' and has been interviewed by ''The New York Times'' and ''Time Magazine''," even if no URLs was given for the claim of being interviewed, the mention of multiple interviews would be an assertion of notability along ] lines and exclude the article from CSD A7. Likewise for a band article that states "Their songs charted at #7 in the UK" - even if no URL is given and the claim is eventually found to be false, it constitutes an assertion of notability along ] lines, and article is exempt from A7.

Lastly, please do not link CSD A7 with the Google test, which is not foolproof and has its ]. Regular deletions via AfD can take care of our bandcruft and bio-cruft decently. --] 13:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

*:Dio removed (sourced) information from ] that is necessary for NPOV. It concerns a mistake published by the Inquirer: the mistake was made by a source the Inquirer cited, which misquoted its own source. Thus, it wasn't the Inquirer's own mistake. Dio was removing any references to the mistake coming from a source other than the Inquirer, and was reverting any attempt to add it back. There is a very large difference between publishing false information that one made up and being misled by a source: the latter was the case, and Dio has been removing all references to that, leading the page to imply that the former was the case. He has since given up on removing the statements, but he persists in removing the warnings from his talk page. ] <sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub> 07:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw your comment from Mar 21st, and I can't believe how sad that guy's story (BTC) is! As for your question, there's no specific third party studies that document horror stories--it would be seen as shock journalism. Contrary to his self-report, it was probably an infection.

This arbitration case is close and the final decision has been posted at the link above. It is recommended by the Committee that you consider carefully the suggestions of others regarding punctuation and other matters you are not familiar with. It is no use arguing about well established punctuation conventions.


You can check out wikiproject:medicine and ask them, but post-op infections '''kill''' people all the time. Its a risk of any surgery, and these risks are just brushed off by patients all the time. Physicians are supposed to go over this with their patients, and discuss the risks. I'm personally against all forms of elective surgery, but that's just my personal belief.
It is recommended that ] be edited in accord with the guidelines at ]. Special attention is drawn to ] and ] making removal of poorly sourced negative information from the biography of a living person an exception to the three revert rule (3RR).


Anyways, I checked out your user page and loved it! You can probably tell from my screen name, that I'm a huge fan of korean starcraft, but I'm also a chess fan, and piano fan too. (although I prefer watching Flash beat Bisu, not vice versa) I wanted to drop in and say hello, and thank you for sharing that link. That story is eye-opening and I never knew that could happen in America, but maybe for those who venture to Thailand for the $499 special. I'd try to incorporate the info myself into the page (about risks of surgery in general) but its really not specific to that page, since the page is about all forms of PE, and the article would need to branch off before it warrants a section on surgery risks. I could include PLENTY of verifiable 3rd party pubmed links to cite surgery risks and mortality rates. ] (]) 18:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Just a brief note regarding (not relating to the mistaken revert of me, which was fixed afterwards, but the remaining part of the edit + edit summary). You may not be aware of the (ever-) ongoing discussion between paleontologists and molecular biologists, but it tends to be pretty heated (considering that I belong among the molecular biologists, I know far too well). To sum it up: Yes, molecular work ''may'' be more accurate than ordinary paleontological work, but sometimes it is the other way around, as it depends on sampling (N fossils available versus N alleles sampled ) and the statistic approach (bootstrapping, calibration of the molecular clock, etc). The latter is easily revealed by comparing methods on the entries for these species in . Consequently, unless one clearly is superior, the only NPOV option is to quote the figures for both the paleontological and molecular work. • ] • 01:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I am not emotionally involved but I would like to write a factual article. The fact that this band keeps replacing factual content (ie: early development and the references I have gathered) and replacing it with self-promotion and completely removing all of my edits and refernces smacks to me of an attempt to alter history. It is something they have been accused of doing and I see now it's really what they have been doing (for years, it seems)... I tested this theory before going forward, with some very slight edits (rearranging dates to be consecutive rather than what offers the best promotion, correcting the dates that members joined and what they are credited with doing, and ''listing'' upcoming projects instead of the sales pitch that currently resides there). Those edits I made are factual, based on older articles (pre-dating one very significant member leaving the band), album booklets, articles that the band's material appeared in, and even a copyright search. The band (I am assuming) is now attempting to hide all this history while promoting itself and a deceptive version of history. I ask that you look into it in more depth and consider even the comments they have left in the edit summaries. They appear very personal. A few seem to indicate that the unsigned users think my edits and a few others are some "disgruntled business partner," but that's not the case. I'd been sent a cd by this band for review, and was considering doing an interview, until I started doing this research. As a contributing journalist for two fanzines, I find it deplorable that stuff like this can happen. Also, I will be much more careful in the future I do band interviews. Anyway, it's been a little frustrating that my request for dispute negotiation has thus far been ignored, except from you. I just figured that was due to the templates being removed. ] 04:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Dionyseus. I believe the latest edits I made to ] are indeed notable and verifiable. I did not intend to use any misleading edit summary but if that is your reason for reverting I will be happy to be more specific in the edit summary. Your reversion of the Midnight Syndicate page is unwarrented, and the text you reverted to is proven to be untrue and misleading. I stated the matter in a concise manner and presented both sides of the arguement. The fact that you seem to be a game fan leads me to believe that you are too close to this matter to look at it with a neutral pov. I doubt you have taken time to look at the references I have noted and the corresponding ] article which I based my decision. You have to realize now that it is the band editing their own article and I cannot believe you can support that!

Everywhere Girl section on The Inquirer article

Just wondered what you thought about this section (apparently EG is so important that its been given the second highest section position after "Writing Style") which now contains direct links to our user pages and identifies us as Wikipedians The Inquirer has complained about. I not sure what the policy on this is or where to go with it , but I'm a bit concerned that 1) it potentially acts as a vandal magnet for our user pages and 2) sets a bad precedent for participation in afds i.e. if wikipedian is a major arguer for delete in whatever meme/fad/gimmick by some tabloid style website which does have its own valid wikipedia article. The fad article is deleted and then the tabloid writes an angry article complaining about the wikipedian, and the wikipedian is subsequently included in the wikipedia article on the tabloid website as a complained-about person (this is not only potentially encouraging vandals but also possibly acting discouraging people from arguing for delete in afds). I wanted to get your opinion before I query the matter with admins. (I think if we just reverted the edits ourselves - it wouldn't stick and Inquirer fans would hassle us) Thanks.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Philwelch

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Philwelch. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Philwelch/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Philwelch/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Thatcher131 12:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Philwelch RFAr

I don't think piling up as much dirt as you can on /Evidence is really necessary. It is certainly not helpful. Phil has thrown insults at other editors and made some unjust blocks. We know that by now. Please stop. -- Steel 02:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Not helpful to who? I am an involved party in that arbitration case, Philwelch has committed an unjust against me and I believe I am entitled to document all of Philwelch's inappropiate acts on Misplaced Pages. I personally feel it is very helpful, at least to me it is. Families of victims who have been murdered are entitled to say their piece in murder cases, it is part of the grieving process. Dionyseus 02:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Aside from the fact that it's highly inappropriate to compare unjust blocks on an internet website to one's family being murdered, the information back from May that you're digging up is going to have a minimal impact on the case. At the moment the /Evidence page says a lot more about you than it does about Philwelch. I ask that you put your grudge against Phil to one side for the sake of the wiki. -- Steel 02:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Steel. Please stop digging up the dirt; it is actually having a retroactive effect from your perspective. — Deckiller 23:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) My thoughts on the overall situation at this point are here. Of course, you have the right to post whatever evidence you wish, and to make your own decisions what submissions will be useful; I think you've made your point by now, though. Most important, while your having been unfairly blocked and called names by a then-administrator is regretable, your analogy of such situation to being a family member of a murder victim shows a troubling lack of perspective. Newyorkbrad 02:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I used the analogy to show that a grieving process is needed in cases in which an administrator has done unjust to the community. I don't know about the other involved editors but I was deeply affected by the unjust block, a part of me died that day, and now I need this so that I can put this all behind me. Dionyseus 03:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dionyseus, regarding the arbcom case, what are your thoughts about the outcome? I gather there is already a consensus that his admin powers are not going to be restored. Personally, while I agree with Steel that his problems include being uncivil, I think he edit wars to a significant extent. In your opinion, would restricting him to 1RR per day (or even per week) be beneficial to the project? Addhoc 16:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, definitely. I prefer the per day version. Dionyseus 20:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Response.

Stop following me. I have noticed that you are constantly voting in subjects that I voted on - namely, InShaneee's RfC, three AfDs, and more. And conveniently, all opposite of what I voted. This is stalking. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I did not follow you, I noticed your message on Hbdragon88's talkpage and I asked you to remain civil. As for the RfC and AfD's, we have similar interests with different opinions on those subjects. Dionyseus 04:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I checked your contributions - those were the first AfDs you participated in in a great deal of time. What are the odds that after a huge dispute over a huge article, you would randomly vote on three AfDs - the only three AfDs I voted on at the time, and vote opposite of me in each of them? - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

World's largest skunk ...

I saw on your user page that you had created the article for the world's largest skunk.

That sounded promising so I checked out the Eastern Hog-nosed Skunk, which got me interested in learning more about this skunk I'd never heard of.

Anyway, I came across some more references that I left on the article talk page; I didn't have time to do anything more with them in terms of expanding the article.

"Author of Misplaced Pages's article on the world's largest skunk" is a distinction Dave Barry and Gary Larson would appreciate. Misplaced Pages has over 3 million editors and not a one of the others will ever be able to claim that distinction unless they go out and find themselves a new skunk species.

Thanks for adding this sort of stuff to Misplaced Pages. Ultimately it's what this project is all about -- big skunks, dead poets, Nepalese towns and everything else. It's the fun of serendipitous discovery keeps millions of us goofing off reading when we should be working.
--A. B. 17:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I love skunks so I was surprised to see that there was an article on the Western Hog-nosed Skunk and not one for the
east version which is regarded as the largest skunk, so I went ahead and created it. Dionyseus 21:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Should not be used for Marketing ...

I'm not sure whether you are familiar with any chess engines/programs or whether your bias in the Rybka article is due to a vested interest. Readers come to Misplaced Pages to gain an unbiased view on topics because the authors of those products do not always state the truth on their websites. You state that moving the release date is not a criticism but for paying customers who have long been promised an earlier date this is a breach. If Microsoft moved the release date a dozen times they would lose customer satisfaction and suffer a drop in share price.Siegbert 07:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Siegbert

Please read the links I posted in your talk page, they are links to the official policies that are relevant to this matter and they explain why your edits were reverted. Dionyseus 07:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The Inquirer...

Having carefully considered the viewpoint you made on the The Inquirer, I can see where you are coming from. Is there an official page or response from Misplaced Pages on this issue? Do you have a source for the claims you made against The Inquirer? Siegbert

What claims are you referring to? Dionyseus 12:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

On this page http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33033 The Inquirer make several statements, "...That follows absurd and frenzied claims the INQUIRER and Jennifer Chandra had conspired to create the whole phenomenon. The deletions seem to be part of a campaign by Wikiparrots Dionyseus and Bwithh, who took it upon themselves to out the Everywhere Girl's identity and also to make derogatory comments about INQUIRER editorial."

How can you as a Misplaced Pages editor be making derogatory claims about the Inquirer, and then expect to maintain integrity? Do you have a record of the claims you made against the Inquirer, and any evidence to back it up? Perhaps you were "misquoted" and so presenting to the reader what you actually said may clear this up. Misplaced Pages's image as a independent resource may be compromised on issues such as this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siegbert (talk • contribs)

I've seen that article by The Inquirer and it's ridiculous, that's all I'll say about it. Dionyseus 20:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, so far you have also failed to admit any wrongdoing with your Rydermark comments. It's hard to take someone's allegations about integrity serious when they themselves show so little of it 83.135.97.168 18:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know Rydermark is a hoax, it never was released despite the claims that it would be released for free in holiday season 06. Dionyseus 20:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

VegaDark's Request for Adminship

Dionyseus

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was successful at a unanimous 52/0/0. I hope I can live up to the kind words expressed of me there, and hope to now be more of an asset to the community with access to the tools.

Notability of Vitarroz

A tag has been placed on Vitarroz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Адам12901 08:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The article asserted notability, and the speedy tag was removed by an administrator. Dionyseus 09:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Philwelch

The above entitled arbitration case has closed, and the final decision has been published at the link shown. The Arbitration Committee has found that Philwelch misused his administrative tools. Because he gave up his status as an administrator in the face of controversy concerning his administrator actions and after an arbitration case was filed against him, he may not be automatically re-granted adminship. However, he is free to seek readminship, should he choose to do so, at any time by a request for adminship at WP:RfA. For the Arbitration Committee, Thatcher131 12:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm dissapointed that none of the reasonable proposed paroles (, ) were even placed at Proposed Decision for voting, however I'm pleased that the arbitrators didn't completely exonerate Philwelch. Dionyseus 19:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Arbitration re: Abu badali

Hi. I am writing you because you were one of the respondants on the RfC about Abu badali that was started back in November. There has been no substantive comment there for over a month and User:Abu badali has never bothered to respond to the RfC. The last comment on the talk page of the RfC was a suggestion to take it to arbitration, which is what I propose we do. Accordingly, I have created a shell/draft listing to add to the list of Arbitration Committee matters here. I've listed your new there, preliminarily, as a complaintant. If you are not interested in participating, please remove your name. If you are, please add your comments as we must prepare a 500 word summary of the case. Thanks for your attention - Jord 15:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Apology

While I continue to be anti-VGCharts and do not appreciate the edit warring you did, I apologize for the edit warring that I did and my attitude (be it insults, sarcasm, or rudeness). - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I accept your apology. I however don't remember edit warring over it, I believe I intead argued politely about it on the talk page. Today the records page is better than ever in my opinion. Dionyseus 19:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Well actually, I do believe you did participate in the edit war along with me and WhiteMinority. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't remember that, it must have been months ago, but if I did participate in an edit war I apologize. I have learned that it's much better to discuss rather than simply reverting. Dionyseus 21:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Roger Federer

I noticed you added a bit to the opening to Roger Federer that was deleted a while ago. That same sentence, with references, is also mentioned in his playing style section. Does it need to be there twice? And the playing style sentence is correctly referenced using the CITE template, so you might want to re-paste it from there. Cheers, oncamera 18:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I have now self-reverted. I'll ask in the article's talkpage whether it'd be more proper for it to be in the Intro rather than the Playing Style section. Dionyseus 21:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Men's health Talk page

I saw your comment from Mar 21st, and I can't believe how sad that guy's story (BTC) is! As for your question, there's no specific third party studies that document horror stories--it would be seen as shock journalism. Contrary to his self-report, it was probably an infection.

You can check out wikiproject:medicine and ask them, but post-op infections kill people all the time. Its a risk of any surgery, and these risks are just brushed off by patients all the time. Physicians are supposed to go over this with their patients, and discuss the risks. I'm personally against all forms of elective surgery, but that's just my personal belief.

Anyways, I checked out your user page and loved it! You can probably tell from my screen name, that I'm a huge fan of korean starcraft, but I'm also a chess fan, and piano fan too. (although I prefer watching Flash beat Bisu, not vice versa) I wanted to drop in and say hello, and thank you for sharing that link. That story is eye-opening and I never knew that could happen in America, but maybe for those who venture to Thailand for the $499 special. I'd try to incorporate the info myself into the page (about risks of surgery in general) but its really not specific to that page, since the page is about all forms of PE, and the article would need to branch off before it warrants a section on surgery risks.

Just a brief note regarding this (not relating to the mistaken revert of me, which was fixed afterwards, but the remaining part of the edit + edit summary). You may not be aware of the (ever-) ongoing discussion between paleontologists and molecular biologists, but it tends to be pretty heated (considering that I belong among the molecular biologists, I know far too well). To sum it up: Yes, molecular work may be more accurate than ordinary paleontological work, but sometimes it is the other way around, as it depends on sampling (N fossils available versus N alleles sampled ) and the statistic approach (bootstrapping, calibration of the molecular clock, etc). The latter is easily revealed by comparing methods on the entries for these species in GenBank. Consequently, unless one clearly is superior, the only NPOV option is to quote the figures for both the paleontological and molecular work. • Rabo³ • 01:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Phibian (Dune)

Notice

The article Phibian (Dune) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Misplaced Pages:General notability guideline and the more detailed Misplaced Pages:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

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.
