I agree about balancing the views on Sheffer. My problem with it before was that it was too much a black-and-white "critics love him, fans hate him" kind of thing. I guess I went a bit too far in the other direction, in trying to make it less one-sided. Thanks for adding back the "opposing viewpoint". I'm actually not in love with his work myself. I think he's not bad -- better than most of his immediate predecessors -- but he also seems to think he's far more innovative than he really is, and that irks me.--] 10:20, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC) | |||

==Toilet humo(u)r== | |||
Hi there, Juppiter. I reverted your changes on that article, because both "humor" and "humour" are acceptable spellings on wikipedia, and the article was originally started with the variant "humour". (I'm not sure what the situation is with ] -- the mix of styles there probably means you were correct to standardize on one spelling of color/colour.) But please take a look at what the ] says about variant spellings/conventions used in English. Best, ] 00:54, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||
Thanks for the message. Slightly more than pathetic, fighting over the national ownership of toilet hum... er, funniness. Not even a worthwhile article. Oh, and you did it out of boredom? ''Boredom?!?'' Take a look at the Open Tasks at the top of this page and I'll give you ''boredom,'' young man -- as my grandmother would no doubt have said, had she been a Wikipedian. ] 01:34, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||
== Spelling standardization == | |||
There are many reasons why we Americans cannot expect Misplaced Pages ever to conform to "American" spelling. Just a few notable ones: | |||
* The English-speaking ] (which doesn't even include ''all'' English-speaking nations besides the U.S.) has a greater population than the U.S., so majority does not imply American spelling. | |||
* Misplaced Pages earnestly endeavors to be an inclusive, global encyclopedia. Right now, the world is getting fairly sick of the U.S. trying to impose its own ideals. Frankly, as an American, I find it particularly embarrassing that this form of cultural imperialism completely contradicts one of our founding principles — liberty. | |||
* Most damning of all, as I've said many times in many of these debates, when it comes to writing style, ''there is no such thing as "American"'', whether for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or any other style elements. Anyone can cite simple examples like "-ize" vs. "-ise", or single-or-double quotation marks, but style issues are ''vastly'' more complex than these simplistic assessments. If you've ever read the many style guides available in U.S. libraries (which I have, in my efforts to contribute to the ongoing debates at ] and related articles), you'd find that the professionals frequently disagree on many issues. | |||
For what it's worth, I wish we did have a practical way to make style issues standard. Unfortunately, it just isn't in the cards. I believe that the Internet, with its legions of incompetent writers posting all manner of indecipherable nonsense on rapidly propagating blogs, is going to make writing standards even fuzzier than they already are. I'm reminded of one of my favorite ] from '']'': | |||
:'''Tara''': Well, I-I go online sometimes, but… everyone's spelling is really bad. It's… depressing. | |||
— ] ] 01:31, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||
:Here's another way to look at this issue. I thought I might suggest that, because the content of Misplaced Pages is freely available for anyone to copy and modify for their own encyclopedia (as long as appropriate credit is given), one could create an "Americopedia" that would be Misplaced Pages with rigidly enforced spelling and other style rules based on a single authoritative source, avoiding most of the typically cited practical problems. The glaring problem with this is how to correct hundreds of millions of misspellings in half a million articles, especially since no robot parser can be sure to catch every instance that should be corrected. (One problem would be intentional alternative spellings used in examples, but that's only the most obvious one, perhaps.) It would have to be done on an ongoing basis as well, with frequent refreshes from the error-plagued source. | |||
:Clearly, one would need many eyeballs (and keyboards) on such a project to make it effective. But the more people one added to the project, the more disagreement one would get on what the best authoritative source is. Should it be ''Webster's'', ''American Heritage'', or another respected source? Which edition? Should it perhaps be an online version, more likely to keep up with the times? Should one create a melded American standard (which is the Misplaced Pages way, without the "American" part), and if so, how to decide what to include? One would essentially replicate the angry debates from Misplaced Pages in miniature — though it wouldn't seem "miniature" to the people caught up in it! | |||
:Misplaced Pages's utility and robustness come from the vast number of contributors who participate, but in such a large population of free thinkers (in the generic sense, not ]), with such varying backgrounds, one cannot hope to achieve consensus on many controversial issues, and any such consensus will frequently be revisited and revised. U.S. political and legal history provides innumerable examples of this principle. | |||
:It comes down to this: when you have a hundred thousand decision makers, no decision can be ideal. This is a basic principle of democracy. It's one of the things that makes it so ugly, and yet so effective, because people can grudgingly accept that compromise is necessary if they believe they can have an impact on the decision-making process. Misplaced Pages is essentially an experiment in real-time, world-wide democracy in publishing, with all the warts and blemishes that inevitably accompany the heady power of mass involvement. | |||
::''"… it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." — Winston Churchill'' | |||

::''I want to thank you for debating ME and not my ]. Some of the response I got made me ] how ] this ] is.'' — ''] 04:54, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)'' | |||
::: I don't think it's so much elitism as it is impatience with rehashing old controversies with no likely conclusion. People tend to get vituperous and preachy (as even I must confess to) when they have to reiterate arguments they've made dozens of times before. It doesn't help when people use words calculated to get a rise out of opponents, like ''cultural imperalism'', ''egocentric'', and ''caste''. We're all human, after all. Just today, I read an amusing '']'', in which the prototypical geek has something relevant to say: | |||
::::'''Dilbert''': People are so conditioned to take sides that a balanced analysis looks to them like hatred. | |||
:::I would add to that that, in this age of attack journalism, a calm argument for one side can look like mincing resignation. I mourn the loss of rational debate. — ] ] 06:28, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||
Hi Juppiter: No doubt you are feeling a bit bruised just now. You made a proposal in good faith and reacted defensively to some responses that appeared dismissive. It seems to me that everyone in the debate has WP's best interests at heart and I admire you for sticking with the discussion when you felt so beleagured. It is a problem with any established open-access group that newcomers will make suggestions that have already been discussed and will take the jaded dismissal of their predecessors personally. Each new generation challenges the values those before it. ] reminded me at the weekend that it is the job of jaded old men like me to challenge the assumptions of naive youngsters like him when they do their job of questioning the status quo. There was an element of teasing of me and him in this but the underlying message feels important. So, please don't retire hurt. Your commitment to this great project benefits us all. Do, please, continue to question the behaviours and attitudes that you find here. I imagine that this experience has already taught you to research the history of policies before making any challenge, and to consider the way that your readers might feel about any assertion. Now lets go and have some more fun doing good stuff. --] ] 10:51, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||

== Removal of fair use images from your userpage == | |||
You may find "copyright paranoia disruptive" (), and you are welcome to that opinion. However, you are not welcome to violate Misplaced Pages policy on the subject of having fair use images on your userpage. This is proscribed by ] item #9. Three images were removed from your userpage in February () and you reverted those removals () in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. Also note that the removal in February was conducted by ], a member of the ]. These same images were again removed by me (), which you then reverted again (). I have removed the images, again. Adherence to this policy is not optional. Any further re-insertion of these fair use images or any other fair use images onto your userpage will constitute vandalism and you may temporarily lose your editing privileges here for doing so. If you need help in identifying what are and are not fair use images, or need further explanation of the policy prohibiting the use of fair use images in userspace, please feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to help. --] 14:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
*Misplaced Pages isn't just an internet website. It is run by a non-profit organization and can be sued in a court of law for copyright infringements. If you do not think this can happen, just look at what happened at ]. Companies take protection of their copyrights very, very seriously. The policy against fair use images in userspace was established to prevent lawsuits. I should think you would be in favor of this since preventing lawsuits aids in the continued existence of Misplaced Pages. --] 17:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
**In removing fair use images from your userspace, I work to protect the project against copyright lawsuits so that it can exist for all of us. Removing such images is boring and mind numbingly dull. I'd rather not do it. But, it must be done. I am motivated to do it because the violation of trademarks and copyrights is one of the most serious threats facing the very existence of Misplaced Pages. --] 18:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

:*I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to write an encyclopedia and further efforts of the project in that regard. As an administrator, I do a number of things that are not likely to gain me friends. If I were concerned about whether I would make friends doing what I do, I wouldn't do it. If all people were of like mind, Misplaced Pages would be rife with all sorts of copyright violations. If you think my behavior is rude, then say so at the RfC and perhaps propose alternate solutions that do not incur the significant inefficiencies that would happen if I were to notify everyone in advance. --] 18:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

Revision as of 07:20, 4 July 2006
I'm currently blocked :-( The WikiAristocracy, a group of people who go around imposing rules on people cause they have nothing better to do, have made me their latest target in a crusade against ideas contrary to their own.
If you disagree with my block, please vandalize User:OrphanBot as a show of support. If you agree with this out of control pack of lunatics, then you are part of what will ruin this great project :-(
