Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 16:02, 27 October 2008

This user is a member of the Misplaced Pages Ultra Secret Inner Inner Cabal, a cabal so secret that not only am I not allowed to know who the other members are, I am not even allowed to know if there are any other members, and if I ever did find out that anyone else was a member I would have to kill them immediately. You can contact WUSIIC on #wikipedia-ultra-secret-inner-inner-cabal on Freenode. As a courtesy you are requested to kill yourself afterwards.

JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages after a few days.

My crap Stuff and nonsense This user is an administrator on the English Misplaced Pages. (verify) This user has a userpage on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. 15,000+ This user has made over 15,000 contributions to Misplaced Pages Smert' spamionem! This user is a member of WikiProject Spam. BEng This user has a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Reading December 2024 30 Monday 10:10 pm UTC Were this admin to act in a foolish, trollish, or dickish way, he is open to being slapped with a large trout.

I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets.

Dispute resolution, Bible style - and actually an excellent model on Misplaced Pages as well.

If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

— Matthew 18:15

Please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikibreak

I'm taking a few days off, I have some things that a re filling my time and Misplaced Pages is (as always) an irresistable distraction. Guy

TV Centre planning kerfuffle mystery

All hail, O Fellow-Brompton User! Was labouring over the lead of the TV Centre article, not because I have any investment in it but because, having just stumbled across it, the opening appearance offended my sense of aesthetics, syntax, etc. I too was puzzled by the petition/listing stuff in the final clause or two, (particularly since I know really nothing about either planning procedures or petitions & am frankly not terribly interested). Was just trying to clean the thing up. Just wondering what you meant by "inappropriate reference", exactly. So can I can avoid reinstating some ballsup :) Regards Wingspeed (talk) 14:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Fold - unfold - fold - unfold....

Online petitions are a bit of a problem; we have a lot of text which is either sourced direct from a petition with no independent coverage to establish that the petition is significant, and in some cases the petition is added as soon as it's created in a pretty blatant attempt to canvass signatures. I'm going through removing this, it's the sort of thing I do with all unreliable sources (see User:JzG/Unreliable sources for the kind of thing I routinely prune out). There is no bar to creating an online petition, no cost, and no indication of how much vote-stacking has gone into it. So if a petition is significant (as some are) then we should discuss it by reference to independent secondary sources that give context. I'm guessing you'll agree with that as a rule of thumb. I discussed this on the admin noticeboard recently and there was a chorus of approval: Misplaced Pages is not the place to pull in signatures, and is not supposed (by policy) to draw inferences direct from primary sources of unknown significance.

While this post you deleted probably breaks a bunch of policies, I don't believe WP:BLP is one of them, as the post was made by Patrick Haseldine himself. Socrates2008 (Talk) 21:44, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
