Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:46, 13 August 2005

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Reported

I just reported Walsh on the administrator page, after posting his claim to have taken a break he VFD'd yet another recently posted article clearly in the process of being edited.

The scope of the articles suggests that what Walsh is doing is simply tracking some 'recently posted' page and deciding if the articles there meet with his personal approval. Walsh clearly has no understanding of many of the issues he is posting VFD on.

Walsh has since attempted to revert this notice of report.

Walsh will be reported for breaking the three revert rule as well if he does this again.

Disclaimer

Please note that I am now taking a two month Wikibreak to Bermuda, during which time my cat Salem will be filling in for me on RC Patrol, etc. Unfortunately, he is unable to answer talk page queries for obvious reasons. Bye! Erwin Walsh 15:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

This appears to me to be an excuse to not answer any criticism of his abusive behavior.--Gorgonzilla 16:09, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

VFD Complaints

Ignore this request: Walsh is not the arbiter of VFD policy he presents himself as. Comment here and in the VFD section. Further attempts to block criticism will be reported.

As of today, all VFD queries should be made at the appropriate VFD page. Queries left here will be deleted or ignored. Erwin Walsh 15:22, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

You seem to do a good job of ignoring them anyway. The comments here are about your arrogant and abusive behavior. It is not for you to decide VFD policy 24 hours after registering your account. --Gorgonzilla 16:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza

Excuse me? How could the word esperanza be interpreted as being racist? -JCarriker 12:35, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Oh no, you misunderstand there are no restrictions on who might join. I'm not even Spanish, I'm Southern. Thanks for your concerns though. -JCarriker 12:48, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Delete tags

Hi Erwin! Thanks for spotting that Maximum delay was something which ought to be deleted. It's gone now. Remember to use the {{delete}}-tag, or {{db|Reason this page should be speedy deleted}}-tag for suggesting speedy deletions, because the {{csd}}-tag is used for category deletions. (Also {{subst:vfd}}-tags are used for "regular" deletions, {{ifd}} for image deletions and {{rfd}} for redirect deletions. A lot to keep track of there, isn't it? :-)) Cheers, Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Sheesh

Thank you so much for adding a VFD tag to an article just three minutes after I saved the first draft. Your helpful intervention is what makes Misplaced Pages so rewarding to contribute to. Not. --Spliced 16:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Same for the copyvio on material in Abramoff-Reed Indian Gambling Scandal copied from elsewhere in Wiki that was about to be edited anyway. The text is entirely replaced with the version of the article from the Abramoff piece I was about to merge in. --Gorgonzilla 00:49, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

there is no way that you could possibly have made a considered judgement on the issue of a copyright violation in the three minutes between the article being created and you slapping on the copyvio. You clearly did not take any time to look at the material and did not even bother to write a talk entry. Your account was created only a few hours ago and you already have done this more than once.--Gorgonzilla 01:29, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Find another cure for your boredom

- Your activities are almost exclusively in the area of VFD and already you have an impressive track record of pushing your unconsidered personal opinion and generating work for other people in the process. In one case you slammed as "your own private website" an article about a company in business since 1936. You are a loose cannon. Mirror Vax 13:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

VFD Walsh?

I suggest that if this twit does not stop plastering VFD and copyvio over every page he sees that he be reported. No, strike that I think he should be reported. Many of his deletes seem to be within minutes of the original post, far too little time to read the article or consider whether it really is a problem. --Gorgonzilla 14:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Scrumpy Jack consensus KEEP
• Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/The GNU Organisation DELETE
• Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Momoloe Only one delete vote
• Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Rental Monster DELETE
• Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Toggled DELETE
• Quad Electroacoustics WITHDRAWN after complaint

So your average is 3 out of 5. That is only 60%, much less than the 90% you boasted about on my user page. Your average in copyviolations is 50%. That is not a good record for your first day.--Gorgonzilla 14:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/MathPlayer has 4 keep votes already, 100% keep. Walsh's reason for deleting was, "No place in wikipedia. Perhaps move to geekpedia." Mirror Vax 14:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

The page of mine that he VFD'd after three minutes was Quad Electroacoustics. He's now withdrawn that VFD. (I just mention that in case anyone's looking for the page.) The guy is behaving like a monumental pillock, has annoyed several users in his first 24 hours, and if he doesn't desist pronto I will happily vote him to be shitcanned. --Spliced

• Erwin, your VfD nomination of Dark Lords Council is well-founded, but the personal attack ("Get a life") is unacceptable. This isn't your first warning about your conduct. I suggest reading WP:Civility and WP:NPA and adhering to them. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:24, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
