She is notible enough to be on Misplaced Pages. Plus - A character like Farah Mir who only appeard 1nce gets an article. Leyla also. And her middle name is Antonia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.243.29 (talk) 01:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC) Alright. But I finally got the info. I'm giving it to Misplaced Pages. It's not called vandalism if it's better when I edit it. But I have to respect that. So I'm beging my own Encyclopedia. Well... That's it. Farewell. --76.69.243.29 (talk) 02:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Good luck. Please respect the community's wishes and stop editing. You have been blocked more times that I can easily count and continue to come back. Please, just stop. None of the articles you claim to care about will be improved as long as you continue to edit here. AniMate 02:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I think he's back

Would you please review this and also what happened after I deleted the "statutory rapists" category on the Gerry Studds page? David in DC (talk) 02:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Frtizl case

Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Fritzl_incest_case/Archive_1#Similar_cases_section_could_get_out_of_hand

I am reverting again. We need to be very careful re WP:BLPnot to suggest that there are aspects of other cases (e.g. murder) which have not been proven in this case. Harry the Dog WOOF 08:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

citations

I am making mistake or... RFC question is:"Are eye witness accounts from a controversial work, Magnum crimen, considered reliable sources ?". Dispute about me and DIREKTOR is:"can we put eye witness accounts in any article because of POV pushing and NPOV rules ?" (and many other things). In my thinking this are 2 different problems ?!--Rjecina (talk) 02:11, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

This will not solve dispute between me and DIREKTOR because for example this RFC can end with decision that Magnum Crimen is not good enough, but few days latter we will have new book and new citations. Because all reasons which I have writen earlier on talk page citation can't be used !

Can you please explain me why we do not use victims citations in article about Rudolf Höß and other Nazi criminals but we must use citations about Ustaše criminals. Please do not write me that this is not important because in my thinking we are having 2 editorial styles for 1 similar crime ?--Rjecina (talk) 02:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

For me this is dispute about editorial style nothing more nothing less.

During last 12 months I am reverting puppets of banned user Velebit (and now User:PaxEquilibrium) which are trying to put this citations in all WWII Croatia related articles and we are now having respected editor which is supporting position of banned editors ???

If we are having right RFC question I will let go (if others disagree with me) but not with today RFC question. In today situation I will ask for mediations.--Rjecina (talk) 04:41, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

To tell you truth I am ulmost always winner in discussions. You know why ? I choose only discussions in which my arguments are stronger of another person. If this person show evidence that I have made mistake he is winner but in this situation we are having POV pushing, NPOV, way in which other similar articles are edited and Quotations policy and I can't imagine that my conclusions are wrong. On talk page of article Miroslav Filipović I have asked DIREKTOR to stop destroying his reputation but ...... We will have new discussion about this edits when he will be nominated for administrator. I will be very interested to hear answers--Rjecina (talk) 18:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Re

He apparently thinks that the RfC is inappropriate if it deals with the reliability of the book. However, it does not, as we've both pointed out. He also said that "citations and not book are problems". For some reason, he believes the addition of these citations is a violation of WP:NPOV (not WP:V, though he' mentioned that as well), since most WW2 war criminals articles do not have citations. I think he believes that's Serb propaganda and demonization of Croats. Also, an RfC might bring in the Serbian guys that he's been having a problem with.
Yup, I failed the objectivity test :). I'll remove the tag. --DIREKTOR 11:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Re Warning

Maybe you would "refactor" (whatever that means). But the words I used pretty much express what I was trying to say. I get involved here only because I get pissed off by the rubbish I see on Misplaced Pages on subjects about which I know something. So being blocked or banned holds no terrors for me. Regards Kirker (talk) 10:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

If, in the end, Misplaced Pages finishes up banning a good-faith editor in order to protect a gossip-merchant, then I'll wear the expulsion as a badge of honour. But thanks for replying and explaining.Kirker (talk) 23:02, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

thanks for th edit re: General Hospital Night Shift

ihave a feeling that the "slut" comment was considered encylcopedic but I wanst sure if it was okay to just delete it since I didnt want this eo end up trodding on some hypersenstivie toes and I would end up on WP:ANI. Thanks for being bold! :D Smith Jones (talk) 21:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

COI question =

The COI page says it is "strongly discouraged". It does not prohibit it.

Am I reading this wrong? If so, state to me the following sentence... "Editing a page which you have a relationship to the article's entity is strictly prohibited and will result in an indefinite block". Please confirm this and state it and get an administrator to also state this. I want proof. I will comply with proof. I want to follow Misplaced Pages rules to the letter. Presumptive (talk) 01:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Should we write in the COI Noticeboard that the COI guideline should be policy and that the policy should be modified so that COI editing will result in indefinite block? If you are willing to make such proposal, let me know the exact language and I will let you know if I can support it. Let's move forward with this idea! Presumptive (talk) 03:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Talk message

He sent me an email asking to use my account. I declined. What's the problem? —Celestianpower 16:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, sure. Sorry - I didn't mean to sound so aggressive in my post. Yeah - the email went as follows.

Hi Mr. Power,

You are an administrator but don't edit much at all. May I edit for you? If so, I'm willing to change your user name to Celestianpower Jr. so as not to confuse others with you.

If you don't want to, just e-mail me or write a hint on my user talk page (such as saying "Hello! From Celestianpower")

Regards,

Presumptive

If you need anything else, just ask :). Regards, —Celestianpower 15:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: your msg

It had to be said. Rjecina does not, as far as I can tell, do very much to improve articles. See you around :-) AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 00:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:AniMate&action=edit

In article Rudolf Höß (or others) you will never find witness quotations. This is my problem with article Miroslav Filipović.--Rjecina (talk) 05:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

.If you look persons in category Executed Nazi concentration camp personnel you will never find witness quotations. For me demands that we must have witness quotations is example of Balkan POV editing (1 rule for Balkan articles another for all others)--Rjecina (talk) 06:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: FOX censorship

I never, ever, thought I would be defending Fox News either. I just told my roommate the same thing. My feelings are the same as yours concerning this network. But I do respect Shepard Smith, and have always enjoyed his programs for years. I can't believe Shepard Smith (the only anchor on FOX, in my opinion, who has ethics) is being held up to the world as "The Poster Boy of U.S. Censorship". After The Fox Report it's a race to change the channel before O'Reilly's show comes on. And you are correct, there are no NPOV news articles out there concerning this; it's all propaganda. What to do? C'est la guerre. Jason3777 (talk) 00:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I noticed you removed the YouTube link

I copied this link from 2008_South_Ossetia_war#Cyberattacks_and_censorship (last paragraph), under your correct copyright justification it should also be removed from this location to be consistent. Jason3777 (talk) 02:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed the YouTube link. I guess I'll be taking the flak. Jason3777 (talk) 03:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I put the full video back up using a link to Fox on 2008_South_Ossetia_war#Cyberattacks_and_censorship. Check it out. Jason3777 (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore while I can understand this article is emotionaly charged it's lack of a NPOV makes me wonder if I should even bother trying to work with Misplaced Pages. --Mrmcuker (talk) 04:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I think I'm going to leave that article alone so long as the {{NPOV}} sign is up.

Attacks in the article Robert M. Carter

Please do not make personal attacks as you did at Robert M. Carter. Misplaced Pages has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Misplaced Pages and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images, especially those in violation of our Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons policy, will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Thank you. Northwestgnome (talk) 19:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:World War II persecution of Serbs

My thinking is never important in deletings of or revert. Kirker has writen:

"I would suggest that the edit-warring on this subject be suspended while consensus is sought. In my view "genocide" is justified"

Because banned use is not allowed to edit in article there is no edit warring and Kirker comments are false and misleading. He is looking for consensus in article where we are having consensus about name. Even Pax has accepted this name until his ban !--Rjecina (talk) 19:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Question for administrators --Rjecina (talk) 20:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

• 1) "The Misplaced Pages ban is a formal revocation of editing privileges on all or part of Misplaced Pages"
• 2) "The standard invitation Misplaced Pages extends with the statement "edit this page" does not apply to banned users"

About other things maybe it will be OK to ask administrators ?--Rjecina (talk) 22:06, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense

The kind of stuff he states on a daily basis is bordering on the outright comical... --DIREKTOR 21:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

The Judaism Newsletter

The Judaism Newsletter Issue III -- Av, 5768 WikiProject Judaism (/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (/to do)

"Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday.

Comment back

Hey, I commented back on your remarks on your input for my RfA. I am specifically not asking you to change your vote -- you have a right to your opinion and I am just weighing in on what transpired. The whole Gp75 thing left me with a bitter taste, since I hoped I could make a serious reform effort. But if I lose faith in people, I lose my purpose in life. Oh well, life wobbles on... Ecoleetage (talk) 04:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and posted more rationale on your nomination page. Sorry, but I just cannot support. AniMate 04:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I greatly respect that you would stand up for what you believe. Stick to your convictions and present your opinions with a clear, cogent voice -- that is the sign of leadership. Ecoleetage (talk) 05:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Ecoleetage (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and Happy editing!

User:Presumptive

Just to let you know that his user page still has a copy of the Murder of Joseph Didier article. It's down at the bottom, after a bunch of white space and some absurd message about "end of page, don't scroll down any further" rubbish. It is rather obvious that this user is trying to game the system. Frankly, I think he should be blocked. Since you removed the material from his talk page, I thought you might want to check this out too. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

AN/I

That's ok I only just woke up lol and headed for ANI before my own talk page. You were under no obligation or anything to message me- you messaged her, so you did your bit. She has to learn for herself. Let's just say it wasn't an emotion I was particularly familiar with in the past, but now I suffer frequently from dismay:) Sticky Parkin 12:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I would like to call your urgent attention to Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Insults_again_and_again_and_again. Outrageous. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 01:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

This time I do hear you (re your "cool it" proposal on Alasdair's page). I don't yet understand that procedure you mentioned, but I'm learning, slowly. But as long as my "send" button works I will describe conduct as "pathetic" if that's how I see it, and regardless of how many do-gooders implore me to call it "sweet reason." If it gets me banned, well it will have proved that Misplaced Pages wasn't worth my efforts. (A reckless attitude that on its own should be enough to set me apart from my fellow meatpuppets, LOL.)
