Since I am blocked, and unable to post anywhere but here, please, someone pass along my thanks to ] for trying to work with me to make a solution. It is silly that so many people in here seem to think that an "evolution" page should be about a narrow branch of evolution and not even mention how that narrow branch fits into evolution, but I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A COMPROMISE and as far as I got before being BANNED FOR TRYING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Biological_evolution&oldid=639325201 | |||

Revision as of 06:27, 24 December 2014
NOT FEELING WELCOME AT ALL
What is it about hard work that is so despised within the Misplaced Pages community? I added to the evolution page, to make it about evolution rather than just about evolution through biological reproduction, and ONCE AGAIN, MY HARD WORK IS IMMEDIATELY DELETED!
Here are the first two paragraphs as I had corrected them...
Evolution in its broadest sense, is the accumulation of change. In this sense, anything in which changes accumulate, evolves. This is true of culture, language, computer software, technology, knowledge, automation, and so on. A quick web search for information about the evolution of any such thing should provide plenty of reference material.
Probably the most well known type of evolution, accumulation of hereditary modification, also known as descent with modification, causes the accumulation of change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Such evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including the biodiversity of species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.
Notice that there is NOTHING off topic or off point, and I DID NOT NEGLECT TO INCLUDE REFERENCES!
Here is what it was reverted back to....
Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including the biodiversity of species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.
In my opinion, that constitutes VANDALISM! I can think of no other reason why anyone would HIDE THE DEFINITION OF EVOLUTION on a page ABOUT EVOLUTION!
Welcome!
Hello, DonaldKronos, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Esper (language), may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and may not be retained.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Tea House, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- Starting an article
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! I, JethroBT 02:38, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Esper (language)
The article Esper (language) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No sources discussing this language in-depth (Wikibooks is not sufficient). Does not appear to have a connection to Esperanto discussed in any sources, either.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I, JethroBT 02:38, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Talkback
Hello, DonaldKronos. You have new messages at I JethroBT's talk page.Message added 01:05, 30 September 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I, JethroBT 01:05, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
User:DonaldKronos/Esper (language)
Because of your circumstances and the current state of your article, I've moved it to a subpage of your userpage here, so you have some time to work on it. I'm concerned it will be removed, and this way, you have more time to add needed sources to the article. I, JethroBT 17:13, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
December 2014
Thank you for trying to keep Misplaced Pages free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Evolution, are not considered vandalism under Misplaced Pages policy. Misplaced Pages has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Misplaced Pages:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Also, go to the article's talk page (Talk:Evolution) and seek consensus for your changes -- that's the standard, not making wild accusation. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- And seeing your post here, I have to point out WP:OWN and WP:Assume good faith to you. No editor owns their edits here, and you need to assume that editors have good reasons for doing what they do. If you don't want your edits to be revised, modified, or even removed or undone, you probably should not edit here. This is a collaborative project, not just your project. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
How is any of this off point?
Evolution in its broadest sense, is the accumulation of change. In this sense, anything in which changes accumulate, evolves. This is true of culture, language, computer software, technology, knowledge, automation, and so on. A quick web search for information about the evolution of any such thing should provide plenty of reference material.
Probably the most well known type of evolution, accumulation of hereditary modification, also known as descent with modification, causes the accumulation of change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Such evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including the biodiversity of species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.
That was removed, why?— Preceding unsigned comment added by DonaldKronos (talk • contribs)
- New talk page posts go at the bottom of the section. Most of the material there has nothing to do with biological evolution. The intro summarizes the article, and the article in this case is only about biological evolution. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:10, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Evolution shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
From the Dispute Resolution page... "When you find a passage in an article that is biased or inaccurate, improve it if you can; don't delete salvageable text. For example, if an article appears biased, add balancing material or make the wording more neutral. Include citations for any material you add. If you do not know how to fix a problem, ask for help on the talk page.
To help other editors understand the reasoning behind your edits, always explain your changes in the edit summary. If an edit is too complex to explain in an edit summary, or the change is contentious, add a section to the talk page that explains your rationale. Be prepared to justify your changes to other editors on the talk page. If you are reverted, continue to explain yourself; do not start an edit war." -- Why am I NEVER given such courtesy in here? Am I upset? YES! Should I be? I don't know... but I am! I feel like I am considered less than dirt in here. Should that not bother me? Okay, in this case... there was a message saying not to change the first paragraph without....whatever it was... but I did not notice it at the time, because I do no know of conventions for such things, and they are not obvious.... so I apologize to the community for NOT NOTICING what I should have noticed... but I'm STILL FRUSTRATED AS HELL!
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Look, calm down and quit taking it personally
Seriously, read WP:Assume good faith and WP:OWN. We've explained how to go on about your edits, no one's punishing you for having made them, and you have every opportunity to get over it and find something productive to do instead of throwing a tantrum. If you keep taking every single reversion personally, call editors in good standing vandals for cleaning up your messes, and give a contrarian "nuh-uh!" to every attempt to explain what you need to do, you will wear out your welcome and you will not last for much longer. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Evolution. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Calling the people who have reverted you vandals when their edits do not meet the site's definition of vandalism and were made in good faith is considered a personal attack. Seriously, your hissy-fits are just digging you into a deeper hole. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:42, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but this "community" has yet to answer the simple question I have BEGGED for an answer to, which is HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN HERE! It's like trying to get a message to someone in a big city without any way of knowing where they are, any of their contact information, or anything else useful for figuting out how to get in contact. It's EXTREMELY frustrating, and nearly eveything I have EVEry WRITTEN for Misplaced Pages seems to end up deleted.... ALMOST ALWAYS with no explanation, and no way to contact the person who deleted it! I don't even have a clue how to know if you will ever see this, so what am I writing it for? :(( DonaldKronos (talk) 00:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- I gave you an explanation for why your edit was initially reverted and replied to your post on my talk page. You ignored both and called me a vandal. Why should people take the time to be civil with you when you insult them and ignore their feedback? Zarcusian (talk) 01:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hello. So what exactly is going on? If you want to I can help you.--Mishae (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Again, please, I've no doubt your edits are in good faith, but please discuss them on the talk page instead of making major revisions to the page itself. Zarcusian (talk) 03:01, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hello. So what exactly is going on? If you want to I can help you.--Mishae (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Explanations were given repeatedly. You refused to pay attention to any of them, and have even responded hostilely calling other vandals instead of bothering to learn how things work here. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring at Evolution
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution.

- You can reply to the complaint at WP:AN3#User:DonaldKronos reported by User:Ian.thomson (Result: ) if you wish. But if you continue to revert at Evolution a block is likedly. EdJohnston (talk) 04:39, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Copying
Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from Evolution into Biological evolution. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Vsmith (talk) 11:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm doing the best I can. Suffering from a major headache and felt like i was being attacked for trying to fix something that was badly broken, but I did mention on the page that it was an offspring of the other page. Perhaps that was not the language expected, but to me that was giving credit. Anyway, I appreciate you letting me know, and taking care of it this time. I hope the community will find what I started to be a good launching point for a solution. I am considering inviting people from a different community to help out, but I hesitate due to not wanting others to feel as unwelcome as I have. Your politeness and helpfulness is certainly refreshing. :) DonaldKronos (talk) 11:46, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- %!&!!! Well, so much for that. I just got done saying thanks for the politeness, and my work was being attacked WHILE I WAS TYPING THAT!
I give up on this place! DonaldKronos (talk) 11:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry that you feel that way. Did you even notice that the material you restored had a featured article icon at the top (the star) and a protected article {{pp-semi-protected|small=yes}} note at the top that were the result of your copying. Also your "shouting" (all caps) in your Note to the Misplaced Pages Community section was essentially screaming revert me. We simply don't do stuff like that in article space. You need a big helping of patience to work here and learn to avoid incivil comments. Vsmith (talk) 13:51, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
December 2014
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Biological evolution. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:28, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Edit warring at Evolution and Biological evolution
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
The full report is at the 3RR board (permalink). Please be aware that you can be indefinitely blocked if you have no interest in following our policies. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:19, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I followed policies, and my work was censored. I have no desire to to be unblocked. Why would I want to be part of a community that condones censorship, approves easy deletion of hard work over efforts to do something good for the world, threatens rather than helping, and bans people for trying to find a reasonable compromise while others are walking all over them?
