Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:02, 14 December 2011

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Hi,

I amended my old profile a "friend" found, to link to my new one, is this OK? Thanks, John T, JOT. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnOThomson (talk • contribs) 22:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Yep, you were reverted because that wasn't clear at the time. Just make sure to indicate on the old account that it is no longer used and you are instead using this one. Calabe1992 22:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Reverting to old Information on HMS ROOK 1806

Why do you keep reverting back to old information when i try and improve the information already given on HMS ROOK 1806? You keep saying my input is "unconstructive" or "vandalism" how is it? I am not deleting any information, i am just making the sentences sound and flow better

Willrook95 (talk) 23:04, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

The tone you were writing in is not very good, frankly; there were even some spelling and punctuation errors. Also, see WP:CAPS. Calabe1992 04:00, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

...For reverting those vandalic edits on my talk page Greetings мιѕѕ мαηzαηα (talk) 23:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks from me too! Yossiea 05:39, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Too quick?

Hi Calabe, You may be too quick with your controls. I had just started a new article on "Shifting" in grammar and was in the process of creating example sentences. When I went to save my work, I got an error message, and now the article has already been tagged as incomplete/insufficient. This experience reduces my interest and motivation to contribute. It shouldn't be like that, right? Timothy Osborne — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjo3ya (talk • contribs) 04:13, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Timothy, what I would recommend doing when you start an article is to first create it in your own userspace (for example, User:Tjo3ya/examplearticlename), build on it there, and then move it into the mainspace once it's more complete. Out in the mainspace, if it's incomplete, it's more likely to get tagged for deletion (especially without sources). Since this article is already in the mainspace, by tagging it, I acknowledged that someone other than the page creator (you) had reviewed the article, and determined that it does have a place in the encyclopedia. It's now less likely to be tagged for deletion, and you can build on it from here and remove the tags as you fix the issues. (Also, the article will show up in the category for articles needing cleanup, so others can help out as well.) Calabe1992 19:20, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Calebe,OK, I understand. Thanks for the tip.Best,Tim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjo3ya (talk • contribs) 19:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

New Page Patrol

I never really counted myself as part of the new page patrol. I'm wondering if my editing style automatically makes me a member.

--Thebirdlover (talk) 03:32, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

That's just part of the template. I just came across a page you speedied and didn't mark as patrolled, so I thought I'd let you know. Calabe1992 03:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)]

I can not find a template to indicate that. --Thebirdlover (talk) 03:29, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

It's Template:uw-patrolled. Calabe1992 05:01, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

I mean to tell people I patrolled the page. --Thebirdlover (talk) 05:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh, misunderstood. :) It's down at the bottom right of any new page - "". Calabe1992 05:04, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Consider nominating it at MfD as a stale draft. It doesn't really belong there, it's a fake article, and it's a BLP violation. Take care, 207.157.121.52 (talk) 18:43, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

But blanking is not the way to go about getting rid of it. Calabe1992 18:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Edit Tecmo Super Bowl

There is no spamming of the Tecmo Super Bowl site that hasn't already been done, I have tried to correct these and my edits get undone. If you deem the tecmo.us external link as unneccessary and spam, the same thing must be done with the puretecmo.com link as it adds nothing additional to the site. The original external link to tecmo.us was not set up my me, I am just the one to correct it as there are external factors of immaturity that tightly control this fact based article including at times 3 links to the same website, which is in itself spam and misuse. All I ask that if this is to be a fact based article it be done so 100% and certain users be addressed that prevent this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by InformationalONLY (talk • contribs)

You need to further read over the guidelines for external links, and discuss this in the talk page if you want. Calabe1992 18:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Changes to Jeffrey Epstein's profile

Dear Calabe,

Thank you for your editing note. My colleagues and I are hoping to change Jeffrey Epstein's profile as you can see. You mentioned that there is a conflict of interest but we represent a large group of people who have been aware of his work, background and contributions for more than twenty years.

Jeffrey Epstein is a very important contributor to the sciences around the world but most critically in universities in the United States. He is also a philanthropist to numerous foundations. All of this can be verified. We are trying to post information on him that is accurate, verified and dignified and does not include all the slanderous and obscene press about him in the tabloids.

The current profile is clearly anti-semetic, slanderous, immaturely written and demeaning. It comes across as a tacky tabloid.

Jeffrey Epstein in our view should be depicted accurately and with the dignity that he deserves.

Could I please resend you and the other editors involved, our summary for your review and approval?

Many thanks, stgeorge12
