I came across some interesting discussions off-wiki about how to spam Misplaced Pages, so I check to see which of the participants in that forum had links on Misplaced Pages. As I was doing this, I came across some potentially odd linkages between ] (] <small>•</small> ]), ] (] <small>•</small> ]) and possibly ] (] <small>•</small> ]) as well as a host of IP accounts ] uses for spamming. See the details with links to diffs at:
*]
On the whole, I lean towards believing that ] ≠ ] and that they're just peddling the same rose water. I suspect, but do not know for sure, that ] = ]. I may be wrong with both guesses.
In any event I thought you'd want to know, given your involvement with the past ] dispute. --] ] 05:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
:Not sure if they are someone else, but I have warned both for their behavior and added them to my watchlist. Thanks. ]<small> <sup>(Need help? ])</sup></small> 17:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I put the vandalismwarining because of edit, not for any other reason. This user is being thoroughly unpleasant and keeps insulting me ie YOU don't really understand the topic. So, please leave the editing to people who actually know something about the topic., which I dont find easy, ] 20:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, the debate on leakage in ] DID cite the ]. That is a model in ] which has been around for at least the last 60 years and is still taught in economics classes today. This is not "original research", but proven economic fact since before the internet and Misplaced Pages was invented. ] 20:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Yopu cant source from another wikipedia article and in t erms of the first paragraph you have to prove relevance as well as good citations. If your claim on Keynesian politics is true please (a) cite and (b) prove notability, ] 21:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
::Squeak, that edit is also not vandalism. Neither are impolite words. This user does not seem to have been exposed to our rules yet, it is not uncommon for new users to not understand our civility and verifiability rules.
Well in that case I was wrong to stick the <nowiki>{{test#}}</nowiki> on his talk page but that was why I did it, ] 21:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Don't worry about it, many people make the mistake thinking something is vandalism when it is not, the main reason being is that Misplaced Pages has it's own private definition of vandalism. It is always best to go directly to the rules the person is violating and educate them. This will either educate them, or act as proof in the future they were aware of these policies. ]<small> <sup>(Need help? ])</sup></small> 21:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
::24, I have already responded to this on your talk page stating that Misplaced Pages does not source itself, I also gave you links to the pertinent policies. ]<small> <sup>(Need help? ])</sup></small> 21:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Please examine ]'s comments from the ] history section. He vandalised the page by blanking the content. He was uncivil by making these comments, "rm lecture in economics followed by rant with western POV but this is not a westernj encyclopedia we are international", "rv take your lecture elsewhere and you just added your own pov not a selection", "rm nonsense and pointed out that companies need offshoring to remain competitive". ] 21:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
::(edit conflict)Yes I actually support the use of the NPOV tag and only remove them when a dispute is resolved, outdated or no comment on the talk page after a good few hours and wouldnt in any case dream of claiming that its insertion into an article was vandalism. But on a talk page? On my rather large user talk page? Anyway I certainly agree with you that newbies need to be treated with especial care and thanks for getting involbved (as you may have seen I run an offhsore business so I am passionate on the subject whereas obviously you are (I imagine) uninvolved in this particular topic in your life. Regards, ] 21:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
:As I said on your talk page, per the ]:
'''The obligation to provide a reliable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.'''
Again, take your pick of the possible sources of information: This is all covered in economics 101 and is considered common knowledge. ] 21:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
:It is true that the edit summaries of squeak were less than civil. I apologies for that, you are welcome to politely ask him to be more civil in the future. Removing unsourced information is not vandalism. ]<small> <sup>(Need help? ])</sup></small> 21:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Go back and read my ] page from the beginning. ] was extremely rude, calling me both a liar and a troll. You should bring up the ] and ] policies with him as well. He obviously doesn't understand them, which is worse than me since he's been around longer and should know better. It appears that you're slapping my wrist while doing absolutely nothing to him. ] 21:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I was only responding in kind, stop attacking then playing the victim, accusing HighinBC of taking sides is plain wrong, he has never been afraid to disagree with me, ] 21:33, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
:It is best to avoid responding in kind. ]<small> <sup>(Need help? ])</sup></small> 22:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Indeed, this for me is a general life lesson and not one restricted to wikipedia, ] 22:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, okay, I really am giving a lot of consideration to relations on wikipedia, the good ones make you feel so good and the bad ones so bad, will apologise myself, ] 21:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Revision as of 16:02, 15 January 2007
Please post new messages at the bottom of my talk page. Please use headlines when starting new talk topics. Thank you.
No, 1 leading zero will results in 01-09, 10-25. I may adjust the instructions to make that more clear, I will run it know and see what happens. HighInBC19:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I had to fix up the optin command a bit, the bot does not follow redirects. I fixed up the mask and set the leading zero's to 0 to match the actual placement of the archives. Should work now. HighInBC20:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Brilliant! Sorry to cock it all up, thank you for fixing it. Do I just leave everything alone now and it'll do its bit when it runs? Steve blockTalk20:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Yep, the rest is fully automated. It will download new archives, as well as old archives that have changed, and update the index as needed. It is currently running when I run it, but once I am fully approved it will become twice daily. HighInBC20:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message at my Talk page. Once I saw the context of the original diff I understood your concern (that's the problem with bare diffs; they often don't give the whole picture, and need to be accompanied by explanation). It's difficult to tell whether he's as unpleasant as he sometimes seems to be, or just completely socially inept; I hope the latter, and that he can be brought round. From what I saw, he's perfectly capable of contributing usefully, and even getting on OK with other editors. We'll see what happens when the block expires. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
