Revision as of 02:03, 24 March 2009

The "perfect" Misplaced Pages article is built on solid research (remember to cite your sources). Contrary to popular belief, not all information is available for free on the Internet. Some research is only published in scientific journals and books (ask your library for remote lending services); some material is available only in commercial, password-protected electronic databases. If you have access to useful research material, please add the relevant information to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Resource Exchange, a central portal to find Wikipedians with access to such resources. Remember we can only use facts from sources such as these, not a particular copyrighted expression thereof.

If you are a qualified user you can request access to the databases of paywalled resources proctored by The Misplaced Pages Library. Qualification usually involves having 500–1000 main namespace edits and 6–12 months tenure editing on Misplaced Pages.

Welcome to my talk page!

Message Area Below

I saw your revert on the Horizon League tournament. If possible those parts of the bracket should either be removed or say "BYE" because the way it is now is somewhat confusing.

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

RE: Francophonie

Please use better judgement when reverting a correction (in edit summary); I have restored 'polities', as 'politics' in the lead makes no sense as is. Thank you.

"Jesse50"

Thanks for the heads up/revert. He's a persistent one; he's got something like 125 or so sockpuppets that he's tried to use on an ongoing basis. --Mhking (talk) 02:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Explanation

When adding to an article, please be very careful to not delete (blank) earlier content, which in this case was all very carefully selected to produce the most encyclopedic article possible. Thank you for this consideration. Badagnani (talk) 19:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Recommendation

I hope you don't mind a bit of advise: Ignore the incivility and disruption per this extremely helpful essay. Follow WP:DR, be civil, don't get caught up in the drama. --Ronz (talk) 03:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

At some point, ignoring isn't enough. If you want to start an RfC/U, I'll participate as well. --Ronz (talk) 21:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

If you start a RFC, I bet definitely more than 10 editors on good standings would join in you. Several admins have recommended it already.--Caspian blue 19:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Isn't mediation already under way? If you think the RFC will be useful go for it, but I suggest focusing on the actual dispute. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Are you talking to me or Eugene2x? Well, the content dispute is being dealt by the meditation, but RFC/U is purely on user conduct.--Caspian blue 19:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Mediation Underway

Hello. I am your mediator that you requested to solve your situation in this article. Please come to this mediation page and state your side of this issue in clear terms. I have tried to read over the talk in question and it is circular. I wish to clear up this issue. Thank you. --NewSinew (talk) 15:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Badagnani is quite a problematic editor who, not only on your medation case, but on nearly all List of X-Americans, reverts and calls for fake 'discussions' OR 'consensus' he never participates in. He uses the same cookie-cutter response on those articles too 'rv massive page blanking; see talk'. That type of BS. Check out the list of Hungarian Americans, as well as the history of List of Norwegian Americans. Bulldog 21:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I have been made very aware of the situation with Badagnani. I am aware of his previous track record at this time and we will see about the results of the mediation; it is likely drawing to a close. Thank you for your input. --iAdem (talk) 19:17, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Badagnani RFC

Thank you for the notice, I will join in it. I think getting broader opinions from editors who've known him and edited with him for a long time would be helpful as well.--Caspian blue 23:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Although I don't know you at all, but I truly sympathize your agonies to keep Misplaced Pages "encyclopedic".--Caspian blue 02:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Ice-cream headache

Is there a reason you are hounding Badagnani and blanket reverting his edits as you did here? The caption by the original photographer says, "He was dancing the pain away" and Badagnani copied the information to Commons. Viriditas (talk) 01:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I've honestly never heard of such an uncivil and rude message on Misplaced Pages before. Just because I made a mistake and I did not go all the way to Flickr just to see the picture's description does not mean you have the freedom to attack me. Please be mature here. Additionally such text is unencyclopedic, and "dancing the pain away" would hardly be taken in a serious manner. Eugene2x► 01:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Please try not to be rude, and respect talk page guidelines. I'm responding here per the message posted at the top of my page. The facts are 100% clear that you hounded Badagnani, followed him to a page where he recently made an edit, and blanket reverted his contributions with no justification just to provoke him. This facts are incontrovertible, so your attempt to back pedal on the issue and blame me for wikihounding and reverting another editor are humorous at best and disturbing at worst. These are the facts. You are welcome to ignore them. Viriditas (talk) 01:51, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

This edit summary is a blatant attack. Do I even know you? I mean come on, attacking someone at the first sight is not the way things go around here. Eugene2x► 01:49, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

You are free to continue rudely blaming me for your behavior, but it will not fly. There is nothing remotely resembling a personal attack in the link you provide, but I encourage to keep pretending that there is one so as to avoid the topic of this discussion, which is your behavior and actions, not my own. Viriditas (talk) 01:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

To provoke him? I don't know if you're complaining on behalf of his request, and additionally, where did I blame you for "wikihounding"? I would also like remind you of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. Just because I may have made a mistake does not give you an opportunity for a personal attack. Geez. Eugene2x► 01:57, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Regardless of your accusations, that is indeed a personal attack. I honestly feel that there should be some kind of block feature to stop such uncivil and rude users like you from commenting here. Eugene2x► 01:57, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in but Viriditas, but I feel very relieved to know that you're not an admin (I'd thought so until today) for your very incivil behaviors and absurd accusations. You're the one who behaves rude here.--Caspian blue 01:55, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. I don't know how he even gets away with this type of behavior. Eugene2x► 01:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Contrary to what you claim, the bad behavior appears to be coming from you and your tag-teaming friends, and I'm watching it and saving the diffs in real time. What we need is an admin to put an end to the wikihounding, which you appear to be encouraging. The entire tag-team RFC, hounding, and reverting everything Badagnani does that you, Eugene2x, Ronz, and other editors are engaging in is beginning to fall apart in the face of the behavior I've described above. And continued reverts by Eugene2x like this one in the face of contrary evidence shows that your RFC case is extremely weak and based on hounding Badagnani until you can provoke a reaction from him. I'm glad to say that I call a spade a spade without worrying what other people think. Viriditas (talk) 02:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
