Newtouch Article

Regarding the deleted article Newtouch, you said those companies were not written by employees of those companies; they were written by volunteer editors who were able to demonstrate the service providers' notability. But can you be more specific to explain to me how do you know the editor is a volunteer not from the company inside and how does the editor demonstrate the notability? by what?...thx...220.248.17.158 (talk) 09:26, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

An editor establishes notability by providing reliable, third-party sources that demonstrate that the subject of the article possesses notability (see Misplaced Pages:Verifiability). And how do we know the editor isn't employed by the company? Because practically all company employees tend to run afoul of Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest very quickly and are blocked for it - You are *far* from the first to be blocked for working PR for your company, and if you were the last, the heat death of the universe would be very near. Without writing specifically what mistakes a conflicted editor makes, since they're vast and it would take me a lot of time to address (and usually not very satisfactorily), most of the more experienced editors here can detect these mistakes - of which the biggest indicators are an unencyclopedic tone and a lack of sources. -Jeremy 09:58, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I would also like to point out that VanceInfo appears to be watched by experienced editors (); Bleum less so, but it doesn't appear to be much of a piece whatsoever.

LOL...OK I got it. So what if I find an authoritative,third-party,volunteer editor who can prove the notability with an article lack of unencyclopedic tone,can I get the pass of wiki paradise?-Derek Cheng (talk) 01:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Trust me when I say that even that may not secure an article's survival. If a user finds an article that fails speedy-deletion criteria is still wanting, he can "prod" the article ("prod" meaning Proposed deletion) or take it to AfD. —Jeremy 01:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Autoblock?

I saw the note you left on User talk:89.129.54.112. I didn't see the autoblock here. Is there somewhere else I should check in the future? Thanks! TNXMan 20:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

The initial unblock request was an autoblock-removal request; hence I assumed he'd been caught in an autoblock. -Jeremy 20:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I only saw the standard unblock request. Strange that toolserver didn't pick up the autoblock. Thanks! TNXMan 21:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Request for refactoring

My first post to the EE mailing list arbcom was made on September 22: "I received a link to the web site containing the email list on Thursday and read some of them." and went on to ask for evidence presentation guidelines. You wrote of me on Sep 23rd: " Given that his first post here was to ask for a copy of the archive..." Your statement about my first post is inaccurate, and I ask that you refactor it. Novickas (talk) 15:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the refactor. Since you wonder where I came from - I was a party at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus and Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Eastern European disputes - many of the same people. I've not been as active since then, but I was taken aback by the appearance of what turned out to be members of the mailing list group at Talk:Battle of Vilnius (1655) and Talk:Tiškevičiai Palace, Palanga. They were, per the mailing list archive, recruited to support the proposed name changes. Not as serious as some of the other issues there, which is why I probably won't be participating further. Novickas (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

IP vandal

Hey Jeske, periodically I visit your fine establishment for really just one purpose: please check out the recent contributions of User:68.101.104.146, if you have a moment. I hadn't heard from the IP's band in a while, but they were back to perform on my user page fresh after a three-month block. Woohoo! Anyway, whatever you decide, thanks for your help! Drmies (talk) 18:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Reblocked for two quarters. -Jeremy 19:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:AN#Request for official unblock

Hi, that thread might interest you, since it concerns an issue with respect to which you have taken action.  Sandstein  21:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Marwat

Hello there. I noticed that you indefinitely fully protected this page in August. I was wondering if you think it would be all right to unprotect it now. Regards, NW (Talk) 22:55, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd say so, given as one side's been banned for unrelated issues. Apologies for the delay, I had no 'Net access 'till a few hours ago. -Jeremy 05:37, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Availablity,

Could I get your opinion on something?— Dædαlus 06:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

please leave me alone

with your previous comments of "slot off, fragface" and "chummer, shut the frag up", along with your other threats, i want to make it clear that i want you to stay away from me. ignore the urge to comment on me, and definitely stay away from my talk page. i am literally 100% freaked out by your language/aggression towards me. leave me the hell alone. do not respond to this. just rollback it or whatever. but leave me alone. if i do anything that requires admin intervention, i am sure one of the other thousands of admins will figure it out. you need to stay away from me because your behavior/obsession with me makes me extremely uncomfortable. i hope this request was polite/firm enough so that you understand and accept my request. Theserialcomma (talk) 10:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

And I am 100% disgusted with your behavior towards other users, myself included. -Jeremy 19:52, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry!

Sorry about that!!! Looks like I had a brain fart... Would you like me to release the block on Vanisheduser5965 , or are you just planning to file the name change request? Just say the word. Hiberniantears (talk) 02:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I've already filed it. -Jeremy 02:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Jeremy for your help . I'm leaving soon and will scramble my password , I just want to make sure that my page isn't vandalized by other editors . You were the only one who was helpful in this sea of bullies and so I thank you again. Vanisheduser5965 (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:C. Jackson Grayson

It looks like Talk:C. Jackson Grayson was deleted in error. The article exists. -- Whpq (talk) 19:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

It was... Fixed now. -Jeremy 19:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! -- Whpq (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Blocked User:Walaa_adel

Hi Jeremy, I've been asked by User:Walaa adel to contact you about you blocking her, I know she wasn't replying to your messages but this was because she's new to Misplaced Pages, I am her guide here...

we're originally from the Arabic Misplaced Pages, and we are working on a translations project using Google's new Translator's Toolkit, that is made to specially translate Misplaced Pages Articles... and in this process, we were copying the pages into our namespaces, so the translated output gets published automatically in our namespaces in our Misplaced Pages, where we finish the articles and revise them before publishing them to the main namespace...

so... the blocked user is one of our translators, and their part is mainly about using the toolkit, while the wikifying process comes back to us, as far as I know, copying the articles to our namespaces doesn't contract with the GFDL that all Wikimedia projects currently work under. specially that the User did NOT do any action that should be considered as vandalism, or attacking other users.. they just didn't reply to your messages. which isn't even enough to delete the page... aside from blocking him... please refer to WP:AGF

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me... and if you please unblock the user because they cannot continue their work.. Koraiem (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Um, en.wiki is also under CC-By-SA, which requires that the edit history be maintained; however, consensus is that translation efforts can be straight c&p moves, last I knew. I didn't block access to her talk page and had it watchlisted in case an explanation was forthcoming. I will unblock her and undelete every article I deleted. -Jeremy 19:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I've unblocked the user and undeleted every article copied. Send my apologies to her. -Jeremy 19:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank You! :).. of course all these copies will be deleted after we're done translating them.. and the original edit history in the original article will be intact... Thanks Again! Koraiem (talk) 22:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem. -Jeremy 22:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Got it .

Just email oversight-lATlists.wikimedia.org . I'm writing the request now. Thanks.Vanisheduser5965 (talk) 02:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Null perspiration, and good luck. -Jeremy 02:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Smash Bros Brawl - this game is new and still being sold

That is reason alone not to have that article on the main page - it makes Misplaced Pages look like an advertisement site. Since the game is new, then the designers might even release expansion packs or whatever in the near future (which could change the content of the article). The article isn't even that well written either. It's obvious that a bunch of Nintendo fanbois just voted their favorite game onto the main page.--70.254.46.126 (talk) 08:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Bullshit. Brawl is over a year old; most games, Brawl included, don't have a sell life of past six months. Also, please note that we have had featured articles for several businesses and products, and Misplaced Pages was not seen as an ad agency for them. Why the hell is it different for a video game? -Jeremy 09:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

It's just comments like "This is a great game. Why shouldn't it be on the front page?" that irritate me. I guess it isn't my decision though. And as for 4chan being featured on the front page, I never even knew it was there and I wouldn't have voted for it. Cheers.--81.222.64.215 (talk) 05:04, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Note that I did not have anything to do with the article's Featured Article push, and that "This is a great game" has no bearing on whether or not it's worthy for the front page; see WP:Featured article criteria. -Jeremy 05:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Adminship day

Re Jarlaxle IP socks

I've asked at WP:ANI how best to deal with this one. Any ideas? Please reply there. Mjroots (talk) 10:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Talkback

I saw. -Jeremy 23:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

To IPs

Chaotic Goods do not follow the direct or indirect orders of a Chaotic Evil person. Also, how can I be lawful if I'd sooner disrespect the law where it's a hindrance to the greater good? -Jeremy 03:57, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :)

Response

Hi. I notice you reverted my edit to the Ip's talk page. I know I am not that editor but the user who removed the unblock request had no right to do that and I have warned them accordingly. Thank you.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:28, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Usually we simply remove unblock requests that are simply trolling, as that one was. He was in his rights to remove it. -Jeremy 05:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I understand that it was a sensless unblock request, but it should really be up to the admins to remove unblock requests.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

That user (Either way) is an admin. -Jeremy 05:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh whoops. Well, he was an INVOLVED admin and there is evidence to suggest that he baited that IP into lashing outand getting himself/herself blocked which is not acceptable.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how much help I would be, not knowing the situation there and dealing with Bugs Bunny-style threats here. Mayhaps bring it up at AN/I? -Jeremy 05:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that would help at all. Hopefully my warning will be enough.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Good thing if it does. :D -Jeremy 05:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Your point?  Chzz  ►  07:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

oops

Ah, I didn't see the previous unprotection. Sorry about that. Ironically, that's the same thing I did to the vandal that decided to grace my talk page a few days ago. —Dark 05:29, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, maybe not ironically. Grawp's idiotic minions have decided to harass someone else. —Dark 05:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Where? -Jeremy 05:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I was referring to them losing interest in vandalising my talk page. —Dark 05:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Protect your page?

I know I won't be able to edit your page but at least it will stop your rush of vandals here.--122.57.91.165 (talk) 05:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Either (α) the 4chan thread feeding this will be off /b/ soon enough or (β) they'll lose interest and go annoy Scientology. -Jeremy 05:42, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Best to wait for them to lose interest. /b/ is not known for their attention span or their intelligence. —Dark 05:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Please give me a link to the edit

Which edit are you referring to (please provide diff) THanks. Proofreader77 (talk) 06:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh I see ... we probably saw the same vandalism, and hit the button at the same time. Proofreader77 (talk) 06:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

PS: Note the timestamps on this diff (same time left/right) Proofreader77 (talk) 06:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

G'day Jeske :-)

Just pootling round the wiki and saw the really rather nasty threats on MB's page - I thought I'd pop in because I also noticed that you blocked the IP for one month - is that because the IP is likely to be dynamic, so longer would punish the wrong person? - I ask, because I would presume that generally you'd go 'forever' block when related to something like that... hope you're good regardless... and good on you for dealing with such genuinely horrible stuff..... Privatemusings (talk) 08:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't ask me about /b/tards at this point. I'm too busy laughing at them trying to brute-force in their edits thru the AF. :P -Jeremy 08:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

heh! - does the '/b' thing mean that this is sort of organised at 4chan? - I don't really know much about that subculture, but it's a weird one, for sure! also, AF == abuse filter, right? :-) Privatemusings (talk) 08:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, and yes. -Jeremy 08:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Accidental rollback

No worries - there are worse things that can happen. Ottava is even now viewing it as evidence that I am somehow 'suspicious' and am being investigated by someone (not sure who - personally I hope it's Mulder). Ah well, all part of life's rich tapestry, and I understand from the notes I see flying around that you are suffering worse on-Wiki problems at the moment. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 04:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it a "problem"; "substitute to reality TV", maybe, but "problem" no. -Jeremy 09:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Jéské Couriano's Day!

(fluffy and happy horses*** removed by Jeremy ) For a userbox you can add to your userbox page, see User:Rlevse/Today/Happy Me Day! and my own userpage for a sample of how to use it. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Ehh, nein. I don't like the idea of a day dedicated to me, especially when I'm one of /b/'s most common targets. -Jeremy 00:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

How was I supposed to know about WP:RFO?

I find your edit, removing my post to ANI about the problem at the Gosselin article a bit offensive. Not only do you post in all-caps (universally recognized as shouting in type), but you lecture me about a page I had no idea existed. A simple -- and polite -- note on my talkpage would have been nice. If I hadn't just checked back in the ANI history, I still wouldn't know about WP:RFO, and even your shouting would have been for naught. My thought was that -- what with the high traffic of administrators available at ANI -- that the oversight would come much quicker that way. Additionally, is the guy who boasted that he had taken a "screenshot" blocked yet? Has he been checkusered? If not, that should be done immediately. UA 23:30, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Please hear me out. It is SOP to remove requests that would be best handled by Oversighters off AN/I specifically because of the nature of the edits Oversight works with (i.e. nonpersonal public information). In fact, the header at the top of AN/I specifically says, "DO NOT make such requests here; reports here are visible to everyone." (boldface and caps in original.)

As for CU'ing, unless you have any proof of wrongdoing by that account, the CUs are not going to run a check because CheckUser (the tool) is very invasive of privacy. i.e. Checkusers will not run a check on gut suspicion, hard evidence is needed. Also, it's worthless if that account's his only one or if he constantly hops IPs. -Jeremy 04:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Marwat article

I believe you have protected the Marwat article because of an edit war between two members. One of them is banned, while the other one is inactive for the past month and half. It would be a good idea to remove the protection from the page so other Wikipedians can clean up the article or add/remove information. Thank you (Ketabtoon (talk) 14:12, 2 November 2009 (UTC))

If there's no evidence of LoW resuming there, I'll unprot. Going to check right now. -Jeremy 20:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Done and apologies for the protracted length of time. -Jeremy 20:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Furry?

(userbox) Like a bear? lol. A8UDI 02:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

No... I tend to be more effeminate, which isn't a bear trait. -Jeremy 02:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Your deletion of my messages to your talk page

You have three times reverted my messages to your talk page on an administrative matter, and you then issued me a 3RR warning. Is this consistent with administrative policy? I understand the desire for keeping discussions about a topic to a single place; however, that does not seem to me to be a rationale for removing talk page messages directed to an administrator which pose the administrator specific questions regarding the prosecution of administrative duties. I'm looking forward to resolving this with you rather than posting to an incidents noticeboard, which would seem to be the next step. Robert K S (talk) 22:01, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Users are permitted to remove messages from their talk page free from 3RR. Constantly reposting them is a form of harassment. -Jeremy 00:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Come on, this isn't a harassment issue. I was asking you questions pertinent to administrative actions, and you were covering them up. Robert K S (talk) 00:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I was not covering them up, I was removing them because you were pursuing the same issue on TenPoundHammer's page. Now, I must respectfully ask you to stop posting to my talk page. -Jeremy 01:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Chummer? :)

Cute word. Reminds me of my boarding school days. ;) Crafty (talk) 00:32, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

This ain't the first time someone's asked about my use of Shadowrun lingo... -Jeremy 01:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah! Not at all what I was thinking. Back in mah school-days "chummer" was usually preceded by "bum". More evidence that I'm just a dirty minded schoolboy. ;) As you were! Crafty (talk) 01:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't mind me...

Don't mind me... just fundraising. — Pretzels 21:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Laura DiDio

I've refactored my own comment for clarity. Might I ask that you do the same? I feel that there is an important distinction to be made as the original quote is not mine and your comment is open to mis-interpretation. I think the refactoring makes it moot anyhow but I wanted you to know my intentions were for the best in order to bring awareness to the situation at hand, and I believe the way it is presented now is probably the most optimal (unless you disagree?) JBsupreme (talk) 10:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

It is; gimme a sec and I'll tweak my response. -Jeremy 10:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Disturbing...

Is there anything we can do regarding this disgusting edit? even legally? Thanks, Tom A8UDI 12:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Aside from block the user and report him to the cops in his area? Bupkus. -Jeremy 12:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Baldfreak's unblock

Hi Jeremy, just wanted to drop you a note. When you were unblocking Baldfreak (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), you apparently accidentally skipped the 'unblock the user' step and moved right along to 'check for autoblocks' step. ;)

I've unblocked them, so I hope that was actually what was intended on your part and I didn't misstep. Cheers. Syrthiss (talk) 15:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I thought I had unblocked them. Ah, well; I'll be over to apologize. -Jeremy 20:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you realize?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Calling someone "chummer," which you often do, is considered extremely rude by many. I have no idea if you intend to insult people discreetly, but it is unbecoming for an administrator to use a term with a common pejorative meeting. ("Chummer" is commonly a way to refer to someone as being homosexual in a derogatory fashion.) 75.100.83.178 (talk) 01:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Chummer means friend in the context I use it. Do your damn research before you blast me for using a term. -Jeremy 03:59, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware it has alternative meanings. However, given the double entendre, it might be appropriate for you to stop using it, particularly given your penchant for sarcasm. It is far from apparent which meaning you intend. 75.100.83.178 (talk) 04:35, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Not if I've already explained it. -Jeremy 05:14, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Are you joking? Do you honestly imagine users are familiar with your archived talk pages? In lieu of that, how many people are familiar with random words made up for a role-playing game? Given that in many real world communities this word is equivalent to calling someone a "fag," I'll again suggest that you refrain from using it. You are not playing Shadowrun when you are acting in the role of an administrator on Misplaced Pages. 75.100.83.178 (talk) 05:26, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Lighten up brother. I'm a fag and I don't find JC's use of the term "chummer" to be a problem. You're really getting this all out of proportion. Crafty (talk) 05:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I do find its use offensive, which is why I brought this up on his talk page. I wonder if new users may feel attacked both by this word and his tendency towards sarcasm. Is leaving a comment on his talk page "getting this all out of proportion?" I don't think so. More generally, Jéské's use of Shadowspeak simply seems inappropriate to me in this forum. This is the English language Misplaced Pages after all. Cheers. 75.100.83.178 (talk) 05:37, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Shadowspeak isn't another language; it's English-language slang. I think you're making an issue just to make an issue. :| -Jeremy 08:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:AGF. I am not "making an issue just to make an issue." I find the word offensive, as will other some other people who don't play your role-playing game and have no idea you are employing an obscure subdialect of English derived from a relatively unknown RPG. You are an admin and your actions are held to a higher standard. If a Misplaced Pages user civilly brings something to your attention, perhaps it would better not to simply dismiss me as a troublemaker. I gather from earlier comments that you are being harassed by 4chan users. I'm very sorry to hear this but I have no affiliation with them nor am I writing these comments for fun. I assumed you would be open to discussing this. If everyone here employed lexicons and unusual subdialects from their personal favorite obscure sources, communication would grind to a halt. All the more so if some of these words are offensive in mainstream English. 75.100.83.178 (talk) 17:54, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't call an RPG with four video game adaptations "relatively unknown". I'm permitted to use slang if I wish, especially if I've explained it (both early in my time here - see Archive 1 - and in #Chummer? :) above). In fact, I did not realize the term had any meaning in English until long after I started using it (which goes to show you how often I read Urban Dictionary). What do you want me to do, wikilink every single instance of the word? -Jeremy 18:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I would have hoped for more civil and productive discourse with an administrator. Since you asked, what I would like you to do is stick to Standard English and not use jargon, surely unknown by the vast majority of contributors here, that derives from a game you play that has nothing to do with Misplaced Pages. I don't see this as an unreasonable expectation or request. 75.100.83.178 (talk) 20:48, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

(RI) Jargon is unknown by the rest of Misplaced Pages editors? isn't that kinda like saying moles fly? In any case, I'm not going to stop using "chummer"; you have not persuaded me against it. If you really want me to stop it, drop a line at ANI or somesuch. -Jeremy 22:40, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Jéské Couriano. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Responded there. Now archiving this bit.

Regardless of what the term means as you see it, you should realize that its use can be interpreted as patronizing, just as repeatedly calling someone "buddy" or "pal" can be construed as patronizing, and your use of the term even with those who have asked you not to use it, as you have done with me, is callous, haughty, demeaning, and uncivil. The now-archived ANI on the above issue represents a typical failing of the process. Rather than examining the complaint against you, the discussion was directed against the complainer and quickly closed. Robert K S (talk) 19:46, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

NM, someone else got it. sorry. -Jeremy 20:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

"Chummer"

I wonder how that word comes across? First time I saw it used, it seemed vaguely derisive; is there a context for it I might be unaware of? (like a popular culture meme I've somehow missed...) --jpgordon 21:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Aye, chummer, it's another term for friend. I've also covered this above. -Jeremy 21:36, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Y'know, I think you might want to reconsider the use of the term; I know it's a term for friend the way you're using it, but it comes across as derisive, especially since you seem to use it with people begging to be unblocked. --jpgordon 02:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I sort of have to agree - I can see that you don't mean it in a derogatory sense, but given the wide variety of people here it can come across that way. Anyway, just a friendly suggestion! - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 08:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Death treat? Ban treat.

Saying it only for your understanding of such statements. This statement is symmetric to articles removal from Misplaced Pages. Removing members of Misplaced Pages from it editing called blocking or "ban". Thank you for your attention, sorry, that reading this message took your time, you can delete if for sure without any objections from me.·Carn !? 08:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

"Deleting" an editor is construed more often than not as a threat of harm, not a ban threat (since accounts can't be deleted whatsoever). -Jeremy 08:47, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Alison22

Before being blocked, this user made at least a thousand minor edits (removing a template from redirects). Do you happen to know if these were bad and need to be rolled back? Also, I'm curious how a user only 4 days old could even do this... as far as I know this can only have been possible with AWB, which the user shouldn't have permission for, or if the account is an unflagged bot account. (Maybe it's possible with Twinkle, I don't really know how that all works.) rʨanaɢ /_contribs 04:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

I only came in at the tail end of this; you might wanna talk with the established editors who contributed on his talk page. Sorry, chummer. -Jeremy 04:45, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

just so you know

At our university campus we have many internet users. Not everyone has a wirless connection, some people just use each others.

If "he" makes another account then, he will end up getting an innocent ip banned (everyone knows each others WEP password), you will not get rid of him am telling you, he is one of my best friends and i know him well.he will just use somone elses internet connection--Mirroryou1 (talk) 23:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

also, do you have the power to un-ban the Ip adress of our universities or big organizations?--Mirroryou1 (talk) 23:22, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

If the abuse gets so severe that we have to keep it perennially blocked, we will unfortunately have to. However, registered accounts can be granted autoblock immunity, allowing them to ignore autoblocks, IP blocks, and rangeblocks on their underlying IP. —Jeremy 23:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I do not think I would take at face value the protestation from Mirroryou1 that he or she is not Misconceptions2. The writing styles of these two accounts are very similar. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:47, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Xenu?

I confess I am not versed with this? Can you gie me a short breakdown? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Xenu would be a central figure in Scientology - so central, in fact, the the Church of Scientology actively attempts to suppress info concerning him. —Jeremy 07:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

To answer your question, no I don't think everything should be censored. However rape is a very hard issue. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Yet another can use *your* justification - that it's offensive - to cause a slippery slope effect, chummer. That's the issue with most nowadays - present bliss from an action that will ultimately haunt them. —Jeremy 07:24, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

You have a unique vocabulary, Chummer? The Xenu info is actually quite interesting. So I am not distorting what you mean, how am I creating a slippery Slope" Do you mean that in infringing on one image others can be removed on the basis of the one? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

By having that image removed because it is offensive, you would in effect be saying that *any* image can be removed solely because it is offensive, nevermind the reasons the image is in the article. —Jeremy 07:30, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if you noticed....I did make a mention we should at least make a caption that allows this image to be concealed unless a link was pushed to access it. I can understand that form of logic though. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt, but this sort of thing has been proposed in the past, and it was pretty much rejected out of hand. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so we know there is a problem....and we can't do anything to fix it? It's not even my intention to soapbox a issue, I know technically speaking I am but damn. How twisted is this? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:39, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

The usual recommendation made to users who object to images is to alter their browser settings to mask the image. (A show/hide box as you're suggesting has been rejected on Muhammad, another article with image disputes - see Talk:Muhammad/FAQ). —Jeremy 07:42, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

So basically, a wasted battle. It's fucked up but literally nothing that can be changed about it? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

If that's your view, than it is so for you. In my view, it's 50% MediaWiki ability, 50% responsibility as parents. —Jeremy 07:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I never said there was a problem. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok I didn't mean you said it. I said we when obviously it is a smaller group of editors that believe this way. It's similar to somone posting a pov tag and the person who authored that version saying it's Nuetral Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I understand. Except for core Misplaced Pages policy, most policy is not set in stone. It might be worthwhile going to Misplaced Pages talk:What Misplaced Pages is not to discuss modifications to WP:NOTCENSORED. But from experience, I don't think you have much hope, this sort of thing has been discussed to death and consensus has always been to not restrict or facilitate the restriction of relevant content in any way. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu)

Stop Harassment Now

I consider this to be a bad faith edit, a personal attack, and harassment. I believe you should apologize, if of course you have any dignity left, which I doubt you do. I do not think the people like you deserve to be administrators. Please have a nice day, and do not forget to ask for CU--Mbz1 (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Well then, I guess you have no dignity left. Anyway I'd like to give you an advise: before you'll ever again will threat somebody with CU please do learn your subject, and learn it well just not to look stupid as you do now. Please have a nice day.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:26, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Bulbasaur

Silly people moved the Bulbasaur article to the project space with all the history of the article and talk page with it. The article's history was moved back to Bulbasaur, but Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Pokémon/Bulbasaur still needs to be moved to the correct place. The problem is, Talk:Bulbasaur has history and some talk on it. Could you switch the two pages, put the Milestones banner and "Possible refs" section on the real page, and then delete it? Feel free to do an easier way. _Blake 03:20, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Also, if you will, can you delete the two revisions I made to Meowth on 1 September 2009 and then the (redirect) revision on WP:POKE/Meowth. After that it can be history merged.(silly conflicting histories...) Thanks for your help! _Blake 03:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jeske,

I've got it watchlisted and was just wondering if there was any reason you've protected the article Fort Albert?
