On User:carl.bunderson

Regarding the John the Baptist Article, you told Carl and I to stop editing regarding the dating system. I complied to the order, but Carl did not, and edited the article agaisnt your word. I feel the edit was rather inappropriate, cconsidering you told us to not edit the dating style or else we would be blocked, and would like to see it so that your word would be carried out. After all, we cannot tolerate disorder on Misplaced Pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhenYou'reAJet (talk • contribs) 14:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

After looking through a lot of adopters, I finally choose a few:

• User:Mailer diablo
• User:Jayron32
• User:Sephiroth BCR
• User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington
• You

And you are chosen. Do you know why? Because I want:

1. Admins that I recognize

• User:Mailer diablo
• User:Jayron32
• User:Sephiroth BCR
• User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington
• You

2. Admins that recognize me

• User:Mailer diablo
• User:Jayron32
• You

3. Admins I find friendly and easy to deal with

• User:Mailer diablo
• You

4. Active Admins

• You

Will you adopt me? --Mark Chung (talk) 14:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Adoption

Umm... I know that a user can adopt multiple users(a person can have many kids), but can a user be adopted by 2 users(Dad and Mum)? I actually asked for adoption from 2 users. They are:

• You
• User:Bibliomaniac15

I am having trouble choosing between you two. Both of you:

• are familiar to me
• knows me
• are friendly
• are always active
• are WONDERFUL!

Bibliomaniac:

• Is a bureaucrat

Master of Puppets:

• Responds to my questions more often

I really wish to be adopted by both of to at the same time,like I need a Dad and a Mum.

Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family

I appreciate your message:

Admin note: Please stop referring to Piotrus's arbcom case and/or past history, Exxess. Those are not in any way related to this AFD, whether you feel he has ulterior motives or not. Let the nomination run its course; you may comment if you want, but again, keep it relevant. Thank you. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :D 17:06, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family and a second nomination for deletion by Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, something fishy is going on:

From article's author -- Exxess: -- Quoting Poitrus -- "The family doesn't seem notable. Don't be fooled by seeming plentiful refs: they are not about the family." Equivocal statement followed by an out-and-out lie. The family is noted in several of the widely-published references. There is no reasoning of principles; no argument is required to prove fundamental rules, and Piotrus/Prokonsul is making an argument against WP:RS and {{Cite book}}. I'm not sure how to handle out-and-out fabrication, deftly hidden behind what appears to be an equitable statement on the surface. Given the boldness of the equivocation, fabrication, and insinuations from Piotrus/Prokonsul (See Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus and Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus 2 to discover Piotrus' tactics.), going straight to arbitration might be all that's possible. There's nothing reasonable to deal with. If the article survives this second deletion nomination (the first failed), Poitrus will again nominate the article for deletion (multiple jeopardy) after bidding his time until he gets what he wants (fishing for a deletion), the reading public be damned. Nor is it beyond Piotrus to resort to sockpuppeting and meatpuppet dogpiling, according to the Arbitration Requests against him. Piotrus/Prokonsul is pressing a suit against this particular article for a second time for the same cause of action (non-notability, although the family is proven to be notable in the reference works), when a judgment on this same matter was rendered previously in his first deletion attempt -- "Four Keep Votes" to "One Delete Vote". This article should not be sued for a deletion a second time for the same cause of action, when judgment has already been rendered. Piotrus is abusing his power of administration, and has been bidding his time to fish for a deletion of this article for personal reasons of his own. The existing arbitration cases against Piotrus demonstrate he's perfectly capable of resorting to sneaky and underhanded tactics. It's on the record Piotrus, a.k.a. Prokonsul, has been recently urged, cautioned, and admonished.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus -- Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family

On Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus and his second deletion nomination of Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family:

My apologies for what appears to be bad form regarding Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, but nothing is invented and perfected at the same time, and it's taken time to watch the development of his second deletion request to get a grasp of Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus's tactics, given I was assuming good faith from him and giving Piotrus the benefit of the doubt, until another editor made me aware of the Arbitration Cases against Piotrus. Upon reading this, it became abundantly clear the lengths Piotrus would go to and the tactics he would resort to.

For the record, I feel his second nomination of the article concerning the Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family (I am the author) is without merit, and is motivated by something other than a concern with Piotrus' assertions the family is not notable, which is patently false.

I feel there is justification for placing an estoppel, so to speak, against Piotrus nominating this particular article for deletion, especially when his deletion nomination is based upon fraudulent premises (non-notability), and a lame attempt to argue against WP:RS and {{Cite book}}.

This is my real concern, given I now understand who I'm dealing with (Piotrus). I'm concerned an administrator, nonetheless, is making a fraudulent and insidious argument against WP:RS and {{Cite book}}.

The family is notable. The reference works in question are verifiable and widely-published. -- Exxess (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks, mum! Now would you please take a look at SMK Semera? I really don't want it to get deleted. Make sure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages guidelines and policies! Thanks!

Ah, I also dumped Mailer Diablo because (s)he's a deletionist. FYI, I'm an inclusionist. --Mark Chung (talk) 04:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

How to post

Hello MOP,

My name is Ken Diaz and I am a partner for Travels with Friends LLC, a European Tour agency based in California. You had left a message for me on my new Wiki Page - thank you for doing so. I would like to post a company bio about our business but have read that it can only be posted by 2nd party Misplaced Pages writers to ensure that I do not breach conflict of interest rules. Do you know this to be true? I am new to Misplaced Pages so I would like to make sure I follow the rules of the land. If you have any tips on how to properly post information to gain good rankings on popular search engines, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

The Excellent Userpage Award

Hi, MoP, I'm back from the holidays and ready to get started with my first wiki page.

I'd like to create a pretty simple company page (non sales/marketing - just basic information) on my company, Pragma Systems, and make it similar to that when you read about 'Attachmate' at Wiki.

The basic information I would want to post is listed below...how would you recommend I get started? I'm reading through the tutorials on Wiki now.

Thanks!

Pragma Systems: Your Telnet and SSH Solutions Provider

The corporation of today is faced with constant challenges in providing secure and reliable access, control, and management capabilities across its network and computing infrastructure. With these challenges come seemingly endless requests for more - more information, more access, and more productivity. Unfortunately, there also seem to be more solution providers that offer 'one stop shopping' as it relates to networking, infrastructure, and security solutions.

That is where Pragma Systems comes in. Pragma Systems is not your 'one stop shop' for any and all of your networking and security needs. What we are is focused. Focused on providing the most secure, fast, scalable, and reliable solutions for your telnet and ssh connectivity needs.

Editing

Hello MoP. I have gone thru your userspace (pretty cool userpage!) and when I tried to look at something and editing, I got this giant sheep saying "Stop. Hammertime. Blah blah blah..." anyway, how do you get messages to appear like that when someone edits your page (the same applies to when I'm leaving you a message)? Let me know if you could because I'm interested! Thanks! K50 Dude ROCKS! 01:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your message reminding one not to revert. That's a very good rule which we all should follow. We should all refrain from unilaterally deleting sources from articles, then trying to force those deletions through with repeated edits (reverts?). Badagnani (talk) 06:07, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your clarification. We are a collaborative project so it's best if we all understand what all of our intentions are in improving articles. The data of our articles really is of paramount importance, so our users don't find articles with sources supporting various facts and figures presented in an article's text removed for reasons unknown to even the editor who removed them.

Oh no. They have all been deleted again. They were all candidates for speedy deletion before they were deleted before. Could you restore them and remove them from candidates for speedy deletion? Sorry about that. Should have told you before. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi:

You sent me a warning about posting on Charley Casserly's biography. I don't understand why you sent the warning. What exactly did I do wrong? My comments were supported by footnotes that you could access and were all true, so they cannot be defamatory. Can you please explain? I would also like to mention that several other administrators agreed with my edits and reverted them. I'd like to have an honest, open discussion with you about this topic.

Edit Conflict

I was hoping to start on a fun and positive note, (actually I want to learn how to edit properly first) but the advice I need most at the moment is how handle the edit conflicts brewing on my current project: South Korea. The page was protected, but now that it isn't, the Korean IP have started flooding in. Recently I left this note on a user's page:

Thank you for your interest in the South Korea page. Until recently the page was under protection due to rampant vandalism and edit-warring. Due to these problems and others the talk page for such a controversial article is especially important. Improvements to the article are welcome, but please feel free to post any proposals you have for improving the article on the Talk Page first. Concerning the templates placed, I put them there because these section are either completely unsourced, or have only one source. In this way, it is more appropriate to tag a section than simply add citation needed to every sentence in the section, (although others have done that.) If you check the "proposals" section you can find what I plan to improve, and my reasoning for the changes.

I'm assuming good faith, and trying to be polite, but I fear that this isn't going to work. Ideas? RlndGunslinger (talk) 23:52, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Although it's only a few hours later, there are twelve new edits, and four reverts. Making matters worse, no one's using the talk page yet, and double reverts are already popping up. In fact, my informal tally counts: 43 edits, 9 reverts, and three double reverts. All this in only the first 48 hours since the page became unprotected.

I'm new here, and this is the first time I've seen an edit war up close. I really am going to try hard to gather some consensus, but so far for every hour adds more contentious edits and reverts. (For the record, I've neither edited--nor reverted--anything in the article since I saw there was a conflict on my part. There's going to come a point of no return, however, when there are "too many" reverts or massive changes. After all, protection might be worse medicine than the disease.) Gotta be patient though. RlndGunslinger (talk) 07:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I support that. Those users may need help. I don't care if I have some siblings. Ahh... that's a way to get more kids without XXX - ing with Biblio... HaHa... By the way, I'm sitting for PMR this year, so I won't be that active anymore. Thus, you can care less about your son this year. Just imagine that your son is studying abroad.

South Korea

I agree with you about the edit warring and seeing my block history, I will be stepping back for a while. I wont annoy you with claims that my edits are right, that stuff is for the talk page, however Lakshmix and wondergirls seem to be one and the same. It is understandable that two people might edit the same article, especially prominent articles such as South Korea - however they both edited http://en.wikipedia.org/King%27s_College_School which is an obscure school in the UK. I have no experience filing sock puppet reports, as an admin, could you take a look at it for me please? カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! (talk) 04:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I left a message on my talk page regarding giving benefit of the doubt to possible socks etc..then I took a look at the two accounts recent history -

Apart from the single edit on the 30th, they seem to share identical dates for their recent edit history.

But hey, you probably noticed that already.

カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! (talk) 14:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I sent you an E-mail. I reverted the South Korea article, and I was reverted by Ziggymaster, he created an account one minute after wondergirls made their last edit on Dec 26th 18:33, 26 December 2008 Ziggymaster (Talk | contribs) New user account ‎ that would explain the lack of edits from the 26th till the 14th by the both wondergirls and Lakshmix accounts. I would suggest that Ziggymaster, Lakshmix and Wondergirls are one and the same. I guess that one account is home and another is work/school - but obviously I have no IP addresses. Without those three accounts combining on the South Korea article, there would be no edit war. カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! (talk) 18:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, due to vandalism, edit-warring, and general mark-up issues, I've decided not to continue my work on the South Korea page. The article definitely needs someone's help, but at this time the page is apparently too controversial and too important to nationalists (Korean or otherwise) for me to continue trying in vain to fix it up. I sincerely hope that someday the page will return to neutrality and normalcy, and when it does, I'll be there to help. In the meantime, I'd like to learn more about Wiki-gnoming. :) RlndGunslinger (talk) 04:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Reply to EVula, I meant we may never have another DYK user like him. What will happen to DYK? Narutolovehinata5 08:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, he certainly did a lot of good work. I have to say I'm sad that he lost his temper and that it had to end this way... Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :D} 22:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Tomorrow's "power editor" is today's newbie. I don't want to make it sound like we're all expendable, but Misplaced Pages is an evolving community; people leave, people join. It's just a fact of life. Three years ago, I doubt anyone would have thought that some newbie that made a typo correction to some high school's article would become an administrator within the year, and a bureaucrat in a bit more than two years.

Is there a certain irc channel for adopting? If not, what's the one for beginners on wikipedia? User:Raiku Lucifer Samiyaza/sig 02:17, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I haven't been on lately, (Im stating the obvious there) because of sports Im fine and happy late Christmas and New Years! Wikidude57_BC 18:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi, I'm kind of new to Misplaced Pages, can you adopt me? I have edited wikis before but not wikipedia itself and I think I would be able to know more if I had someone to ask questions about. Thanks! GNRY09 (talk) 03:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, My name is Eric and I'm 17 and I have been using wikipedia as a source of info for a couple of years so I thought I would help improve it. I'm interested in trains and photography so yeah, thats pretty much it for me. I guess I just want to learn more about how Misplaced Pages operates like editing and stuff like that :) GNRY09 (talk) 05:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

So anybody can join wikiprojects, right? As for editing, it would vandal fighting, it seems interesting but it gets kind of tedious clicking a bunch of buttons to undo an edit. How do you install something like twinkle or huggle? GNRY09 (talk) 05:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the help :) GNRY09 (talk) 05:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

What about the box on my userpage, can you change it for me? Thx! GNRY09 (talk) 05:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
