Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 11:47, 15 February 2007

Hi, here's my talk page. Feel free to put anything you want here. If it's here, then you can assume that I've seen it. It's my policy not to delete mostly any messages here, but please don't vandalize this page. I will revert obvious vandalism that obstructs other people's view of my page. Thanks in advance for leaving a message! The reason for this policy is that I believe comments on this page- even if it's an attack against me- offer insight into what other user's think of me.

This page has never been archived. For your reading pleasure, I don't plan to archive it. Scratch that, this page is getting huge. I will blank every 100 comments, with a link to each archival copy (I want to preserve the diffs that I've often use as 'evidence').

I reserve the right to make slight modifications to people's comments, providing that it doesn't change the meaning. I promise not to change the body of people's text, but I may sign it for them if they forgot (I'll put it in , and make a note of it somewhere). I also might move comments, or add titles to people's comments if they didn't do it themselves. Whatever I decide to change, will be an obvious modification, usually denoted by . Signing under somebody else's name will not be tolerated. Do so, and your comment will be deleted without consideration.

Regardless of whether somebody has vandalized this page, attacked me personally, etc., I will deal with vandalism on THIS page on a case-by-case basis. On the other hand, reverting vandalism on my userpage would be much appreciated, and I have no problems with that. My personal policy is not to delete anything unless it obstructs other people's view of this page. I believe that messages on this page- inflammatory or not- give people potentially valuable insight on the type of contributor I am on Misplaced Pages.

This page was reverted once. I didn't see any reasonable way of preserving the message, and the user modified other people's comments.

To everybody who posts here: Please sign your name with four tildes (like this: ~~~~). It makes it a lot easier for everybody (especially myself) to find out who said what. If you have something against time stamps, then I have no problem if you use three tildes, just make sure you post to the bottom of the page, so that everything is in chronological order.

Can you please help ?

Hi Faaraz! I found you through Misplaced Pages: WikiProject Fact and Reference Check. I was wondering if you'd mind lending me a helping hand with International Institute of Management article . On August 10 an unknown person (no signature) marked it for deletion. Then —Ben FrantzDale conducted a good faith google search for “international institute of management” and it did not return a top result. – Which led him to support the deletion marking. Two other users followed saying that the website was not notable and the institute claims non-verifiable international connections. However, I have conducted a detailed research on IIM website, including IIM research section, press-releases, events and photos, as well as other independent websites and provided evidence of notability and verifiable references. However, my concern is that I’m only one vote against 4 vote and I do not know if any of them will change their mind (human nature!). Therefore, I kindly ask you to verify the links provided in the http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/International_Institute_of_Management and help verify the notability. I’m not asking for anything less than an ethical vote. I’m willing to return the favor and review a similar article.Miro.gal

VfD votes in the Template namespace

I've been deleting VfD votes out of the template namespace... I saw back in April, you said to hold off on this... but since seem to be any problems, I'm going ahead and deleting them. --AllyUnion (talk) 08:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC)I do not know how to uswe this site, and my stupid friend just edited the topic and got me in trouble. I told him to stop but he wouldn't (i do not know how to contact you??)

Links to archive 2(?)

Looks like you've forgotten to add links to the second(?) archive: 2. -- Paddu 21:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

that is indeed clever

i saw the ellipses, i just couldn't for the life of me imagine how you could express them as a single equation. thanks!--Etaonish 06:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Your vfd

Hello I know you nominated the Pasig City stampede page for deletion but might have forgot that is a current event in which many people died and hundreds got injured so read my reasons for why it can't be merged on the vfd page. Articles on the main page shouldn't be nominated for deletion but you might have not heard about it in the news. It's in the headlines of almost all Canadian tv now too. --a.n.o.n.y.m 22:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message Frazzydee. It's fine and yes you are allowed to nominate main page articles. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Fuck you you fucking piece of shit.

Main page redesign

Yeah, it doesn't look good does it? What is everyone thinking? We can only hope that 22% opposition is enough to make them reconsider. Piet 08:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Indefinite block of Bar-Ilan

Thanks for contacting me. As you've noted, this form of severe vandalism and reverse denial of service has gone on long enough, and it is high time we escalate this to the IT department at Bar-Ilan. Unfortunately, the only hope of shutting this vandal down is by escalating the problem so that it gets noticed by a faculty member or good faith contributor. They wanted attention, and now they've got it. If you have any further questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page or via email. Best regards, Hall Monitor 17:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

What happened??

I have been informed by wikipedia that someone at my IP address (my ***hole step-brother robert) had been vandalizing the site in general, your page, etc.

I hadden't realized he was with wikipedia let alone vandalizing it, if anyone has any info on it him, whatever please message me on yahoo at Nmjc666@yahoo.com
thank you

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:22, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Just letting you know that it's (hopefully) back in action -- Serephine ♠ talk - 07:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Spoiler templates deletion/hiding

Since your comment on spoilers is quoted on the guideline Misplaced Pages:No disclaimer templates, I thought you might be interested in a current request for comment about spoilers, with a structured discussion page: Misplaced Pages:Spoiler warning/RfC --GunnarRene 06:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Help!!!

Can someone help me with the disadvantage of laser machining. Ive tried any one that was posted on the pages for laser machining and nothing came of it so far. <(^_^)>

b:WB:RFA

Hello Frazzydee. I wanted to inform you that we have created a new policy at en.wikibooks that asks all admins who have been inactive for a year or more to give up their admin privledges. This is not a punishment of any sort, so I hope you don't take offense to this. The idea behind this policy is that people who are not using the tools could kindly return them. If you have any questions about this, please let me know on my wikibooks talk page: b:User talk:Whiteknight. --User:Wknight8111 (WB:Whiteknight) 17:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, regarding Template:Uncyclopedia

I'm here to ask if you were behind its deletion, and if so, why? I am the original creator of the template, and no one complained at the time when I asked if I could create it. I think it brings "interwikiness" among articles, as well as showing the fun side of things, after all Wp is considered by many to be too "dry", and a link at the bottom of articles showing alternative versions for parody reasons would in my opinion improve the Misplaced Pages experience, as well as prevent some vandalism by "smart-asses".

I thereby ask that that template may be recreated again. It took me a lot of work to create it and I have to confess, I was bold in doing so, but that's what people expect from editors, is it not?

I can't figure very well the deletion log, so I'm not even sure if it was you who deleted it originally. If not, could you please inform the original admin of my position? Or if you point me in the right track, I'll do it myself.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant 09:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Thanks!

Hi, Frazzy - great to hear from you! I'm glad to be able to help. :) Really, I have my hands very full already as the coordinator of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Project, but a few of us over there were thinking that it would be a shame to see a project with such potential languish, so I decided to put some effort into getting it back up. If you have any time, I could really use some help, even if it's just tagging articles with a {{Wikiproject Viruses}} template. Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 06:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Carole James.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Carole James.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 03:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Subject of a discussion changed to "hahaha"

re Daily-article-l

Sure, I'd love to assist. Unfortunately, there is no proper way to extract data from a webpage without anchors to determine where the data is. In cases where changes often occur, It is best to manually approve the actions of a program. So, given this, I'd still like to help you. Please provide details to me via email, IRC, or my talk page. -- Jmax- 20:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

It would be very easy to automate this process, as the SMTP protocol is quite simple, and there are quite a few Perl modules for this purpose. Go ahead and email me the source of the script, and I'll see what I can do. -- Jmax- 06:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

(Un)fortunately, Java is just greek to me. If you have any specific regex or implementation questions please let me know, but I'm afraid I won't be able to assist you in debugging this script. -- Jmax- 21:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Che-Lives

It seems the Che-Lives page has been deleted, my internet access has been down for a while, so I didn't notice whatever process it went through. What do I need to do to get it brought back? If it was just a tag that led to deletion, then I can probably identify the vandal (who had placed the tag several times). Could you look into it for me please?--] 03:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bookmooch logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bookmooch logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
