Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:45, 13 March 2008

• If you have copied text to which you own the copyright: Please read the guide to donating your own copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.

• If you have been given permission to reuse someone else's text: Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Misplaced Pages. As above, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest.

• If you were attempting to rename an article or create a disambiguation page: Compliance with the GFDL requires that the article be actually moved rather than copied with cut-and-paste to preserve editing history. Please tag the new copy with {{db-move}} and an administrator will be able to assist you.

• If the original source was itself a copy of Misplaced Pages text: Reusing the text is probably okay, but make sure you link back to the original article to comply with the GFDL. If the site CSBot found is a Misplaced Pages mirror, you may want to notify me so I can add it to the list for the future.

• If the original source is in the public domain: Reusing the text is okay, but you almost certainly want to attribute it with an appropriate template (such as {{DANFS}} or {{1911}}); this will cause CSBot to leave the article alone.

  If you did attribute it with an appropriate template, but it was still flagged as a copyvio, then it's probable the bot does not know the template you have used. You might want to tell me on this page so I can add it to the list.

Otherwise, remember that text found on other web pages is copyrighted by default. Unless there is an explicit permission on the page (or site) allowing reuse without conditions (or under the GFDL) you can not use that text in a Misplaced Pages article!

Thank you!

Lane Bryant

Since Lane Bryant, Inc. and Lena Himmelstein Bryant Malsin are two seperate entities, I split the page. I also added more information from other sources (such as the census). betselu 2-4-08

Hi There,

You have deleted our page from Misplaced Pages, we are a market utility and are entitled to coverage.

We accepted that copying and pasting text was not sufficient so the section was amended and now you have blocked it again.

Please resolve this situation or provide agreeable edited text.

Nabari no Ou

Coren, the contents of the Nabari no Ou page in Misplaced Pages does not include a substantial copy of: http://www.xanadu-dreams.net/timcampi.html Your bot should take this into consideration.

Bot

I assume your comment at WT:BAG was about your ANIBot. I think your problem there is that people aren't sure exactly how it would work, whether they would lose the up-to-the-second watch and maybe most of all, the quick scroll-through to see what's going on.

If I post a thread to ANI, what happens? Does it stay on my own watchlist? How do I go back to it? What reassurance do I have that someone is even looking at it? 'Cause guaranteed, if I post at ANI, I'm checking every three minutes for a response. (It appears to take betweem 8 and 1800 minutes, there's another thing - could the post be taken by someone as "checking tnis"?)

There's your two different user perspectives. Next question: is this an opt-in move or is this a quantum shift where tomorrow is a new era? How do I know you won't completely screw up ANI? Whatever you answer, prove it. Where's your simulation, the page from January?

I thought that bot proposal was not bad, I had a few different questions about it and watched for a while. Agree that it hit the rocks of apathy (or prudence). You need to grab three involved people, work the whole process out and do a full simulation, then a live two-way trial. You picked a big one, big task, big risks, big rewards. I'll help where I can.

User:The Random Editor

I noticed the user page is protected. I'd recommend he be removed from the categories he's currently in, since he quit Misplaced Pages months ago. WP:Eguor admins for example. Enigma 18:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

My request for bureaucratship

Dear Coren, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 13:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I blushed a little when I read your comment! Thank you very much. :) ~ Riana ⁂ 13:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Socket F(1207)

Please undo your wrong "corrections" where I fixed "Socket F" to read "Socket F(1207)". AMD's offical branding for the socket is "Socket F(1207)". Please see http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_8826_14266,00.html or http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/sales_sheet_opteron_rev_f_v8.pdf or http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Quad-Core_AMD_Opteron_processor_Fast_Facts.pdf where is says "Socket F(1207)" in several places - not "Socket F". Or look at offical AMD documents - you'll see titles such as "Thermal Design Guide for Socket F (1207) Processors". Dr unix (talk) 22:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. — Coren  22:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

{{NCI-cancer-dict}}

Your bot is still not registering the presence of the {{NCI-cancer-dict}} template. Please fix it! -- The Anome (talk) 13:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

SikhiWIki

Dear Coren

I am sorry to say that this is my second message regarding the above wiki. SikhiWiki is a Web-based, free content encyclopedia on Sikhi and that material at this site is copyleft and GFDL licence.

Please can you re-programme your bot to recognise Sikhiwiki as such and stop it marking articles with the template.

Many thanks, Hari Singh (talk) 21:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Block of MM and SH

Gutsy call :) You may want to leave a note on the talk page of the RfAr's proposed decision to note your action. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 03:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

g'day coren

I saw your post about Mantan et al - and per the above, I also wondered if I could ask you to pop a note onto the relevant talk pages (user and RfAr maybe?) - really just echoing what you've already said at the noticeboard... it actually really helps in keeping the temperature down at a difficult time! - thanks for thinking about it, and best regards - Privatemusings (talk) 03:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I need to go to sleep, so for a few hours my note on AN will have to do— but I'll certainly keep an eye on both as soon as I return to conciousness. — Coren  03:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

sleep well! - (if you do take two sec.s to drop a talk note before dropping off, that would be cool, otherwise upon return will have to do!) - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 03:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• There isn't a barnstar big enough. Put your seatbelt on... Noroton (talk) 03:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I hereby present you with ...

... These Baoding Balls, renowned in China and wherever Chinese products are sold, in grateful recognition of your recent block. Baoding balls are a tool for injury recovery or as an exercise tool to improve manual dexterity and strength, according to the Misplaced Pages article I stole this pic from. I expect you'll be typing more for a little while after this block, and therefore these might come in handy. Although somehow I get the impression you have a pair already, they do get banged up with frequent use, so please consider these replacement brass balls. Noroton (talk) 04:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll go one better. ~ Riana ⁂ 11:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
