ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
 | Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2021 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add |
Looking for help arbitrating a page you frequently edit
Heya. I'm taking this one step removed from the talk page of IGN because I know that it's super gross here to self edit and I'd rather not discuss this on the Talk page. That said, if that's where you guide me, that's where I'll go :)
I was the co-founder of IGN way back in 1996, along with Jonathan Simpson-Bint. For the last 15 years Jonathan has been the only person listed as founder and because of the rules against self-edits, I've left that sit. A few months ago someone added me as the co-founder (with source) and that was then reversed a few days ago as a "fake reference" by an anonymous user. I was fine not being listed in the article, but being removed bugs me for some reason. There are a dozen reputable sources on the web, including TechCrunch, Business Insider and AllThingsD, that reference me co-founding IGN. What's the best way to resolve this?
Thanks. Bpm140 (talk) 21:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Category:Cook Islands knights
I processed the speedy request since there were no objections, but apparently the Cook Island(s) categories were subject to a CfD discusion in May 2020, Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_May_2#Cook_Islanders, which went the other way. Fayenatic london, who (unlike me) was aware of the discussion, now added the category for reverse move.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: I just saw the note on the category talk page, thanks for letting me know! PohranicniStraze (talk) 08:33, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Ymblanter. PohranicniStraze, you nominated only one category out of a hierarchy. It's usually worth looking around the parent categories and checking their page history or talk pages before making such nominations. – Fayenatic London 08:37, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Project: Elementus Wiki
Hello. I would like to politely but firmly ask why you requested deletion of my wiki for G11, which I do not at all understand because I posted one link to my Wattpad page where the series is because I am the author. All I wanted to do is host a page of information for my community of fans. I am very new to Wiki, so if I am getting this wrong I apologize, but I spent several hours figuring out how to make it. TimmothyJimmothy (talk) 16:46, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- @TimmothyJimmothy:Hello! The page in question had multiple issues. First, it was created in the wrong part of the project. The Misplaced Pages namespace (the pages that start with Misplaced Pages, for instance Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines) is not the place to try and write an article. In this case, though, the subject didn't appear to meet our notability guidelines and would probably have been deleted under criteria WP:A7 even had it been created in article-space. Second, the page appeared to be promoting the subject in question, rather than being written from a neutral point of view. Finally, it appears that you, as the article creator, had a conflict of interest. It is very strongly discouraged that editors write about subjects with which they have a close connection; if the subject is notable, eventually there will be sufficient reliable source coverage that it will get an article. I understand what you were trying to do, but Misplaced Pages isn't a free webhost for non-encyclopedic material. If you need a copy of the material from the deleted page for your own records, you may be able to contact the admin who deleted the page to get a copy; I'm not an admin, so I can neither delete pages nor see material from pages that were deleted. I hope this is helpful, and best wishes in your endeavors! PohranicniStraze (talk) 17:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
