Revision as of 13:38, 19 June 2005
Hi MARMOT, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 15:17, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, I will do that.
Marmot
Hi Marmot, I've just uploaded a picture of a Marmot that I took in France. Thought you might be interested. Do you know what type it is? --Silversmith Hewwo 14:44, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Alpine marmot, if you say it was in France.
- That is a beautiful creature
- Great, thanks. I've updated it's information. --Silversmith Hewwo 10:40, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

it would seem you have a legitimate basis for complaint with regards to the situation outligned. justice can be done by my self, and a few of those like my self. - James Jones
- What do you propose? --Cool Cat 01:16, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
"Begin by voting against the establishment here 777. The next time you need to file a complaint, inform me in advance and I will provide the backup."

I'm sorry no. It's a waste of time. There is no way that one of the lords of Misplaced Pages is going to be censured, no matter what he does. He's above the law, I'm afraid. Grace Note 02:26, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Administrators are not monsters, you know. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:44, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages policy
- Which Misplaced Pages policy forbids a VfD within an hour of a page's creation?
- Blanking comments on one's Talk page, as you do, isn't against policy, but is described in Misplaced Pages guidelines as suggesting that a User has something to hide... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:59, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comments on user page
You may be right, those comments could have been better put here. So instead of deleting them, move them to the talk page. For another, see Misplaced Pages:Vandalism. Good faith edits do not qualify as vandalism. You have set up that section of your user page as a soapbox, so you should expect comments there. My goal was not to repeat the context, but if you don't want comments there, here is the place. Here are the comments and the context:
A social experiment
A few days ago I created an article entitled "Administrators cannot vote" under the "Policy Proposals" section. The policy outligned a new proposal that would prevent current adinistrators from nominating new ones to serve alongside them (or from opposing new candidates).
What happened
- The page was listed on Votes for deletion, within 1 hour (contrary to official wikipedia policy)
- That is incorrect, see talk. - Taxman 07:39, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Within 24 hours there were 10 votes to delete, out of a total of 12
- Within 3 days there were 19 votes to delete, out of a total of 25
One might say, a firm rebuttal, until I did a little investigation (thank you, Steven). As it turns out, of the 19 votes to delete, 15 were made by administrators, as you can easily check against ].
- Even if the page weren't an abvious attempt at disruption, what you mention would not be evidence of any problem. Your statements are a weak form of an ad hominem attack. - Taxman 07:39, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
