Re: I will RESPECTFULLY honor your request; please see my reasoning and request to you. Thank you Ginsuloft (Wiki Moderator)

Ginsuloft,

Per your msg this afternoon regarding not to make a statement regarding "Not making any changes," I DO UNDERSTAND and have removed it. Please KNOW that the ONLY reason I added such is b/c there are pathetic individuals who have nothing better to do than to try and "damage" Misplaced Pages by removing CURRENT, VERIABLE INFORMATION.

I updated information this afternoon on an Airport: ALL Sources/References have been documented. I respectfully ask that you NOT remove information that is BOTH CORRECT AND VERIFIABLE via current references. Thank you.

Respectfully

No problem, I just saw your edit in the recent changes and that commentary you added really jumped at me (I didn't even realize you had made so many edits). Also, I'm not a "Wiki Moderator", just a normal user like you. Thanks and happy editing. Ginsuloft (talk) 00:00, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Re: Respectful POSTSCRIPT

Ginsuloft,

I have one simple question, I'm very aware of what a Wiki Moderator's job is. It is NOT to REMOVE CORRECT, UPDATED, VERIFIABLE INFORMATION, right?

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT accusing you of such but there ARE other moderators who HAVE done this: removed HARMLESS, NON-PERSONAL, FACTUAL INFORMATION! Why would they do this (sadism?)? Moreover, if this DOES occur in the future, I would VERY MUCH appreciate it if you would provide me with the correct link address of whom to report such infractions to (of course I can find it myself but your assistance would be appreciated and duly noted to your superiors).

Thank you Ginsuloft and, again, Respectfully,

T. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.198.42.213 (talk) 00:05, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

RE: Snowden Edit

Congratulations on (and thank you for) catching the "traitor" Snowden page edit, and upholding the values of Wiki. You rock. Cheers A University of Otago IP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.98.227 (talk) 09:35, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Undid my edit!

Why would you undo my edit? I removed your vandalism... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.62.233 (talk) 14:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for protecting Bradley Manning on Misplaced Pages!

I read how you blocked the US Senate IP address from further attacks on Manning. I donated $50.00 to Misplaced Pages when I read that! Keep up the good work. We need more people like Manning and YOU in this world! Sincerely, Catherine Todd

Hello, I'm Ginsuloft. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Edward Snowden seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ginsuloft (talk) 20:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

User talk:156.33.241.5 - Misplaced Pages, the 💕 en.wikipedia.org

Excerpt:

The following is a personal opinion based on my own ideas of what is true: A prime example of Government entities trying to influence the thoughts and opinions of their own citizens and others through any means necessary. Wake up United States Senate, people are learning the truth for themselves no matter how hard you try to sweep it under the rug.

Not only that, but the mere fact that you are trying so desperately to discredit Edward Snowden only shows how deep your web of internet surveillance runs. If your ultimate goal is and truly was to protect American citizens, wouldn't you be spending more of your time and resources defending yourselves rather than using it to sling mud at a so called "traitor"?

Feeling depressed?

I saw this on your page, and don't know what it means:

"This user thinks you ought to know he's feeling very depressed."

I don't know how to use Misplaced Pages for edits or comments etc. but use it all the time for information. I really appreciate your standing up for the neutrality of the description of Bradley Manning and hope you aren't feeling depressed. If so, I'm sending good wishes. If not, I'm still sending good wishes! Thank you for all the good that people like YOU do, along with people like Manning. We need more good people in this world. Now more than ever.

Catherine Todd

My recent revision with numerous links to copious references to TILA TEQUILA Misplaced Pages post

Richard Warren Lipack (talk) 02:12, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ginsuloft - As you probably remember, we communicated last week about my TILA TEQUILA revised post Misplaced Pages which you reverted back because of it primarily lacking good reference links. Then, as I had alerted to you, QUICKIWIKI mirrors all WIKIPEDIA pages and when ALL WIKIPEDIA links are clicked, all links DEFAULT to QUICKIWIKI - which keeps users such as myself unable to write WIKIPEDIA editors.

In any event, I just uploaded my current revision of the TILA TEQUILA post with over 70 references and a substantial amount of links, and instantly editor FLYER22 reverted the post and left me no comment and because of QUICKIWIKI, I am having an impossible time trying to contact FLYER22 about this to discuss all of this. I was instantly reverted and had actually provided a message to FLYER 22 as you suggested - about your previous communications with me and how my edits and work on the TILA TEQUILA post has been properly constructed with proper links, many of which are books.

Please let me know what can be done here and also - can you contact FLYER22 on my behalf? They seem to never have seen my message to them and certainly did not read my re-post. Is FLYER22 a ROBOT? It seems that I can not institute communications with FLYER22 since FLYER22 never provided me a comment, or because of problems I am having circumventing the QUICKIWIKI default situation.

Regardless, YOU WIKIPEDIA EDITORS NEED to talk to WIKIPEDIA management about this QUICKIWIKI problem.

More on Tila Tequila repost

Hi Ginsuloft -

I just wrote you about my Tila Tequila revert executed by FLYER22 and hope to hear back from you shortly. Now I get this Misplaced Pages email from KKK - who says

"Illuminati conspiracy theories

If you continue to post Illuminati conspiracy theories as if they were factual, your account will be blocked from editing.—Kww(talk) 02:03, 7 August 2013 (UTC) - See more at: http://www.quickiwiki.com/en/User_talk:Richard_Warren_Lipack#sthash.0OSEyDx5.dpuf"

Everything I wrote about is factual with appropriate links and references. WIKIPEDIA has categories to all I have written about. I am also a published author that has a book on this very subject in the libraries of HARVARD and also CORNELL universities and the Journal I discuss in the WIKIPEDIA post for "WILLIAM FOTHERGIL COOKE" which I predominately wrote for WIKIPEDIA has now been translated into SPANISH WIKIPEDIA, and my top of the page posts I wrote and submitted for the WIKIPEDIA "COCA COLA" post category has been up for over a year and embodies as well at least 4 photos and captions I submitted.

TILA TEQUILA is currently now an activist and started a new website on these types of subjects and I have given proper links and reporting just on the facts. I am not making 'conspiracy theories' up. I am just reporting what Tila Tequila is doing in that regard. Why I am having a problem now about reporting these facts about her new life with actual links to full documentation?Richard Warren Lipack (talk) 02:31, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you.

Congradulations on your promotion to "Misplaced Pages staffer"

Damn it. That revert sure opened a can of worms. Ginsuloft (talk) 12:55, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Re Roehampton edit

My edit to the article is not a matter of opinion; it is a statement of fact. The large black birds so commonly seen around Roehampton are, in fact, jackdaws, easily recognisable by the distinctive silvery sheen to the backs of their heads <rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/j/jackdaw/index.aspx>. Therefore the postulation that Roehampton's name is derived from the large number of rooks found in the area is a complete fallacy, as there are no rooks in the area. If you would like a photograph of these birds, I will provide one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.252.101 (talk) 08:21, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Why?

Why can't I talk about anal sex, especially how my girlfriend won't give me any? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigOnAnime (talk • contribs) 21:28, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Why did you review my user page and my sandbox? Does that do anything? BigOnAnime (talk) 21:40, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

@BigOnAnime: I just marked them as patrolled. The "review" notice you see is a bit misleading. All I did was make them not show up as unpatrolled new pages. Also, I don't want to see you get blocked for vandalism, so cease the obscenities, please. Thanks. Ginsuloft (talk) 21:43, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Austrians

I think you've made a mistake because Hitler is nowadays the most popular amongst Austrians. 85.202.44.245 (talk) 19:39, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Did you discuss the picture removal/replacement on the talk page of the article first? If not, go do that. Ginsuloft (talk) 19:44, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Shikhar Dhawan Page

Hi , The information mentioned on the page - http://en.wikipedia.org/Shikhar_Dhawan is incorrect. This part of the article is not true - He completed his education from Lovely Public Senior Secondary School, Priyadrashini Vihar, East Delhi. This information is false and I am trying to remove this content. Could you please get this reviewed and work on it accordingly. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.191.2.16 (talk • contribs)

Assuming you're here because of a revert, please note that I have not reverted any edits by you or anyone else in that article; you must be confusing me with someone else due to a previous comment on your talk page (shared IP address!). In any case, if someone else reverted your removal, just try to do your edit again and explain your edit in the edit summary box (by the way, do not add commentary into the article itself, as I see you have done). If it's some unsourced false info, your removal should be completely valid. To avoid further confusion, I recommend creating an account and always explain any potentially controversial edits with an edit summary; some users even recommend using an edit summary for every single edit. Thanks and happy editing. Ginsuloft (talk) 14:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I understand Misplaced Pages's policy but frankly speaking, Misplaced Pages should change its policy of asking for reference for every sentence, atleast for India. Otherwise most articles will remain useless. I urge you to add the changes I have made, after taking advice from some expert on the subject, who will definitely approve my views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.21.163.122 (talk) 17:14, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there's anything wrong with Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. If you add information and it is correct, it isn't that hard to google a couple references and add them with the <ref> tags. If you need help with the syntax, just ask me. Please note that Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox to promote your own point of view on subjects. Ginsuloft (talk) 17:25, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism on MS talk page

I could have sworn I reverted that second addition of trolling on Materialscientist's talk page. I remember when I issued the final warning to the IP, twinkle automatically generated the page of the last rollback revert as usual. Must have been some sort edit conflict because MS did edit his talk page right when all that happened. Strange that he left it there, but anyways you got it.
