- Heh, Congrats Jimmy ;). I remember when I uploaded the original from the Foundation website to commons, and it almost got deleted because we couldn't find evidence of you releasing it under cc-by-sa ;). Its still a great photo though and I'm glad to see it made FP :). Mifter (talk) 04:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
New revenue stream?
It's a long-shot, but forewarned is forearmed. An idle thought crossed my mind that AIs being tested on Misplaced Pages could harm the project, so I proposed this policy Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy)#Artificial Intelligence User Accounts. There is some uncertainty about the seriousness of the motivation, but looking at it objectively, it does make some sense. Even if it at first sounds off the wall.

arbcom notice
You are involved in a recently-filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration#Javert, Rjd0060, and Jimbo and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. Additionally, the following resources may be of use—
Thanks,
nb: I'm just posting this here because Drew seems banned from this page ;) See diff diff. Cheers, Jack Merridew 04:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh dear...
- This is priceless; see, it wasn't "Drew" — someone else did it. See User talk:Javert#ARBCOM, too. Cheers, Jack Merridew 11:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Précis
- The arbcom case is gone. Drew's blocked, for a week at the moment, but an indef is quite possible once all the cards are face up on the same table. Most of the discussion is on User talk:Drew R. Smith. Cheers, Jack Merridew 14:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Today's WP:RESTATEMENT OF THE OBVIOUS
"We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." — George Orwell
Today's WP:RESTATEMENT OF THE OBVIOUS is brought to you by The International Euphemism Institute. Nasty-twentieth-century-political-philosophy-guilt-by-association update: The article about the recently-coined political epithet Israeli apartheid became Israel and the apartheid analogy because .... mumble mumble mumble. The article about the recently-coined political epithet Islamofascism, however, must remain under the title Islamofascism because ... well, these matters are controversial, and discussion of them is best left to the experts.

Here's my day job. Here's my total edit count, now approaching 7,000.
- Other than the fact that you know what electricity is, and that you're not familiar with "signing" your posts - may I ask what your point is? — Ched : ? 12:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Pedophilia/Censorship
Please, Jimmy, wait. Just, like, don't delete this right away. This is so a legitimate question. To what extent is Misplaced Pages censored? I mean, fine: I'll ask one question: Are pedophiles allowed here at all? I mean, if pages like: Child pornography and List of films portraying paedophilia or sexual abuse of minors are allowed, why shouldn't they? It's natural, and it's happening in the world even today. I mean, come on, don't just give me crap (pardon the language, if that somehow violates "civility" on Misplaced Pages) about Misplaced Pages policies. You're a big part of modern society; respect that and learn from it. You're seriously gonna swear that none of the editors, maybe even sysops, aren't pedophiles? My point is this: If we don't care about it at all, why are some articles marked freaking "controversial", then? It's almost laughable. Some users, it's almost positive they're pedophiles, but say one word to them about it, and you're, like, banned forever; like, who contributes to an article about raping little girls or sacrificing children as Satanists? Well, heck, as long as it's constructive editing, in some people's eyes... But no one effing cares. Cute. Wales, look, I don't want to give you trouble, but this is just tiring me, seriously. Misplaced Pages's awesome, but, like...See, like, Child Pornography was nominated for deletion a few months ago, give or take, but, listen, the nominator was banned and the deletion template was removed before anyone could give evaluation. But I'm cool with that; none of my business. But, Jimmy, look at User:Squeakbox]. I mean, an old man with two dogs and who deletes the Deletion Nomination Tag on Child Pornography, like, right after it was posted...Well, I don't know what to say; please don't get mad. I won't talk to you at all after this if you don't want me to. Just give one comment, one response. Even telling me to f*** off and that you don't care could be fine; it is your own personal, honest opinion, after all. Bye, Jimbo. Please, I wouldn't be here wasting my time and yours if I really didn't think it important; there are Anti-Pedophilia agencies, you know. I just don't understand...are you sure your policies about Censorship are unflawed? Because, I personally don't know. Please, just enlighten me.

- Background: I'm going to assume Arnold is referring to this prod tag placed by Sparaca12 (talk · contribs) who was indefinitely blocked as a SPA back in July. Interesting that you turned those two edits up on your first day on Misplaced Pages, Arnold, and that you found the discussion with Squeakbox as well (nice veiled accusation, by the way).

- This isn't a difficult question to answer that requires Jimmy's specific response, because it's already outlined in Misplaced Pages policy. Misplaced Pages is not censored (WP:NOTCENSORED), however like every organization, Wikimedia must comply with the law which is why they won't host actual child pornography. Possessing and distributing child pornography are both illegal. Discussing child pornography or media involving exploitation children is not. Suggesting certain subjects should be taboo on Misplaced Pages is censorship. The fact that NAMBLA supporters may edit Misplaced Pages is disturbing, but it's not the place of administrators or Misplaced Pages staff to ban people for having certain controversial points-of-view, for the sake of protecting broader society. The broader effects on society are beyond the scope of the project; it's merely an encyclopedia.
