| Indefinitely blocked ] was an editor I did not care for and am glad to see gone, but deleting his well referenced material as copyright violations is absolutely appalling. Some of these "violations" were no more than one sentence! | |||
| This fanaticism by these laymen "self-appointed guardians" who have no real grasp of copyright law, makes any prolific editor a target. | |||
| == My Response == | |||
| I've posted my thoughts in the ANI thread. To sum up: I see what you did as a bad idea, but not a violation of anything in specific. The sentiment seems to be that the indef block is excessive, even from some people you wouldn't normally count as fans, but I'm not going to take any action on it one way or the other. I expect that some totally uninvolved admin is probably going to look things over and demote the block to "time served" within the next few hours. Once that happens, we should have a serious conversation about how to best help newbies deal with Wikipolitics, too. For now, hope you're off taking a Wikibreak and de-stressing. If not, do so--the thread will absolutely be just fine without you. Cheers, ] (]) 17:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
| == Concerned == | |||
| I'm concerned that you seem to think I have some sort of vendetta against you. I don't. In general I am happy for AfD to lead to rapid improvement of articles and I'm on record as supporting its renaming to articles for ''discussion'', as we do for some other content areas; keep and delete have not been the only outcomes for a long time, after all. I don't think much of the whole business of pretending to be the Coastguard saving lives, most of the rescued articles are still marginal even after rescue, but that's just my own personal inclusion standards which I recognise are above the community norm. I am rather more concerned about giving poor advice to people whose behaviour needs modification, and ascribing motives where none exist. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 18:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

| ::On closer inspection, you're right - I see that Okip's 'pathetic liar' comment was in reference to AniMate's comment about A Nobody. My apologies.

| :::The first categorical difference is that one comment was made on Misplaced Pages, the other one was not. The second categorical difference is that Animate's Wikia comment was a ''conditional'': He said that A Nobody was "pathetic" if several conditions were fulfilled. We all know they were, but Animate did not claim that, thus he didn't even "call A Nobody pathetic" at Wikia. Whereas Okip ''did'', in fact, call Animate pathetic on Misplaced Pages, outright and went scot-free another time. Just noting the facts. --] (]) 08:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

| Today my 25th article was featured in DYK. It's my 6th DYK for an article that someone else started, it was at AfD after being created by a new editor, and I was able not just to advise him/her (I see they made another new article today) and save the article from deletion but to expand the article and get them joint credit at DYK. I didn't know about DYK till someone nominated my ] article. I have learned so many useful things, like categories, dropping text below a pic or table, the basics of templates . . . from people patiently editing my articles, and from looking at examples edited by other people. From adding various lists of AfDs to my watchlist once I became aware of those, I've been able to save numerous articles and learned a lot from their topics. From that "Save a BLP" widget you used to link to on your userpage, I came upon ] - which led me to create the page for his mother, ]. Somewhere along the line I found the Pages Needing Translation into English project, and from there Category:Rough Translations - both have provided not only fun articles for me to clean up (I'm a geek that way, I genuinely enjoy making a good translation, and the assortment of topics and original languages keep it exciting) but inspiration for new stuff to translate, expand, or write up from scratch. I seem to have had a fairly rapid learning curve - no one objected to my first article, ], which was written in MS Word based on another biographical article, because I wanted to learn the markup language for a private Wiki (which came to nothing) and I had this newspaper clipping on this fascinating guy . . . What I wanted to remind you is how connected and collaborative it all is. You inspired me and showed me resources to help me find my way around here, whether you knew it or not. You did so for many others too, probably far more than you think. Whatever Jim Wales' defects as a founder or a leader, and no matter how top-heavy the structure is here (it may be inevitable that a large project attracts those who like bossing others around and rewards them for it), the crowd-sourcing model does work. A bunch of us together spot vandalism and revert it. A bunch of us together see weaknesses in an article and make it better. A bunch of us together see an AfD and fix up the article. I am glad to see you telling someone you are happier now you are away from here, but I wanted to stick an embarrassing reminder here of what good ripples you put in the pond, and a public notice of how Misplaced Pages really does work, still. ] (]) 21:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

Retired This user is no longer active on Misplaced Pages.Indefinitely blocked User:Galvin collins was an editor I did not care for and am glad to see gone, but deleting his well referenced material as copyright violations is absolutely appalling.
