Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:20, 13 January 2013

"German Nazi perpetrator of genocide" is not an occupation, a defining characteristic, (usually) what they are best known for, nor always sourced; having contact with the Wannsee Conference is not even evidence that they supported the goals of that conference, and would sometimes be a conclusion, hence WP:OR or WP:SYNTH, even if it were what they were best known for. Please do not add inappropriate information to year articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Your addition of relatives of Anne Frank are also inappropriate, even some do have their own Misplaced Pages articles. There are probably other errors in your edits of year articles, and I may not have reverted all of them. Yet. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Glenna and Lawrence Shapiro

Just trying to get in touch with you since you seem to be responsible for posting this article. As for my edits, if you were to look at Maricopa county property records, it would show that the Shapiros built that home and lived in it beginning in 1971 (although some remodeling took place in 2004). Thanks for writing the article, or to whoever wrote it. Bobloblaw1965 (talk) 16:42, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Undoing my formatting.

Why did you undo my formatting fix that coincides with the Manual of Style? The only thing I did was remove the HTML mark up as accordance with those recommendations. I did not change the content and only did proper formatting which did not break the page. Under MOS:NDASH if it proper to insert the en dash in rather then use the mark up. If you take a look at the revert you did you will see that only a harmless space and change from the en dash mark to the actual dash was performed.

It looks like you don't understand the difference between an en dash character and the html call for an en dash. There is nothing wrong with the formatting and the simplification is proper. I do not use 1/2 to express one-half when it is better to use. ½ instead. Or I could type the HTML equivalent out. I'd appreciate that you not be combative to other editors either as noted on that page. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

superceded by WP:RY - you are wasting your time here - if you disagree with WP:RY argue it at talk there - although i will tell you that it is well veted and you are likely to fail--68.231.15.56 (talk) 18:47, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Do you even know what those fixes were about? I'm curious because you made comments against them from other pages in the past. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:15, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

2012 Article

This is a pretty obvious copy and paste which is against policy to do, "This page describes how you can determine if you are infected, and how you can clean infected machines. To check if you’re infected, Click Here. If you believe you are infected, here are instructions on how to clean your computer." Secondly because the information is wrong, I removed it. The program will NOT end on that specific date and it will continue, like many other serious botnets and infections which have gotten plenty of attention in the past. I removed the Nustar one under crystalball simply because every time it got close the date changed. and and from the wiki "Engineering reviews in April 2012 consider an opportunity to launch in June 2012." Yet then again the update on the website pushes it back to the end of June and this doesn't even confirm the problem has been fixed. Every few weeks the date changes and has changed since LAST YEAR. It is not a 'done-deal', it will happen but seriously after many months of delays it shows no signs of being confirmed. The actual announcement doesn't even state they WILL, but they are considering a launch in June and that's best case scenario. One or two delays is fine, but this has been delayed since August 15th 2011 and the wording 'postponed indefinitely' states all we need about the reliability of those announcements. Let the event happen then list it on 2012, since it was originally for 2011 and it didn't pan out that way. I gave good reason for removing them. One copy-paste straight from a website with false information about end date and the second a continually changing date for a future event that has been delayed for more then 6 months, with it getting pushed back 3 times in the last month. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I know you worked hard on the article, but do not assume I am trying to damage it when I quite clearly pointed out that the first is false information and contains a copy-paste violation. The second as I've stated above is as you (i guess) put it 'June 1st to postponed indefinitely', considering the date changed 3 times in the last month and the current is a launch window opportunity and no way a guarantee, I've removed it. Put it back if you care so much, but at least fix the copy paste on the other. Then please remove your false warnings for vandalism because removing copy-pasted material is not vandalism. Please take a look at WP:OWN because your comments imply you possess ownership of the article and I don't think you do. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:00, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Cream example

Sorry, but we try actually not to supply examples, except if the example in itself is notable (which means, generally, that the subject of the example has an own Misplaced Pages article, and the specific fact in itself has independent media coverage). Saying 'product X has this ingredient' with a ref to the product sheet is, by far, not enough. That invites other examples, many/most not notable, but all 'true' because they can reference it to their product sheet. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra 05:38, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

June 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding or significantly changing content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to 2012 in the United States, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 15:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

Hello, I'm Srich32977. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Survivorman, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. S. Rich (talk) 14:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Survivorman

Can you cite the episode he stated it in? That should be good enough. Otherwise, you probably should remove the statement until you can state the source. See WP:V. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

TOC limit

Regarding the change from {{TOC limit|2}} to {{TOC limit|3}}: I don't know of any US year pages (off the top of my head) that have TOC depths greater than 2. You might consider just removing the TOC limit template. —Mrwojo (talk) 19:46, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

months cannot be quickly accessed as i or anyone else actually edits them--68.231.15.56 (talk) 19:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

That's fine. I'm just saying that {{TOC limit|3}} is effectively the same as no TOC limit at all (right now). —Mrwojo (talk) 19:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

i dont want it higher than 3 cause it may come to pass that a month will have a massive unforeseen branch in the future as the articles get filled in--68.231.15.56 (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Sure. I don't expect that'll happen though because pages have a rough size limit. If a page grows too large people will start recommending splits, such as by month or by topic. The recent years are about as large as I would expect them to get. (2011 in the United States in particular is 185 KB of wikicode and takes a while to load; see WP:LENGTH.) —Mrwojo (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

i see the idea of it but look here - 2011 in the United States dosent even make the top 500 and i would resist any division on those grounds--68.231.15.56 (talk) 20:07, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

My point is that there's not much room for it to grow massively. 3% more would put it into the top 500. It's about as big as I'd expect those pages to get. —Mrwojo (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

2008 in the United States

Hello, and thank you for your contributions. You have added red links to In the United States, an article that does not yet exist. May I ask, do you intend to create this article? What would be its purpose? Also, it would be helpful to other editors if you would provide an edit summary each time you make an edit. Thanks. – Wdchk (talk) 12:23, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

patience--68.231.15.56 (talk) 12:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

OK, I can see what you're doing now. However, I think your fellow editors would thank you if you could find a way to do it without such a large number of edits, all of them without any explanation. You could use edit summaries, and try to avoid unnecessarily inflating the number of edits that other editors have to pick through in their watchlists. – Wdchk (talk) 13:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

January 2013

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — ΛΧΣ 07:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
