Welcome to Misplaced Pages from HJ Mitchell

Hi, 220 of Borg. I welcome you to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for all of your edits. I hope you like editing here and being part of Misplaced Pages! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); when you save the page, this will turn into your name and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or put {{helpme}} (and what you need help with) on your talk page and someone will show up very soon to answer your questions. You also might want to consider being "adopted" by an experienced user who would show you how wikipedia works through a program called adopt-a-user. Again, welcome! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

G'day

Yeah, you know your way around, but I thought I'd leave you a template to get rid of the red link! ;) Now to give you everything I would have given you months ago but which the software won;t let me give to IPs! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

We'll start with the easy bits:
  • You're confirmed, so no more CAPTCHA, you can move pages, edit semi-protected pages and I think there are a few other perks
  • Rollback: You'll now have a little button next to undo that says ""—makes whacking vandals much quicker (only vandals, mind—stick with undo for everything else)
You probably won't have much use for the other things I can give you, but if you ever have a burning desire to create vast numbers of articles or move images, I can help. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

November 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Danny Rios has been reverted.
Your edit here to Danny Rios was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://tokyoyakultswallows.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/rios-suspended-for-doping/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Misplaced Pages's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:28, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Atlantis Vertigo Rave

Hello 220 of Borg. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Atlantis Vertigo Rave, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to raves. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok! :-/. Is there any particular CSD criteria that does apply? I feel we may need a "This article sucks" criteria. ;-) --220 of 05:33, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Bushwick

Yeah, the contributor is trying to erase the bad, yet factual history, and then to make it worse is trying to distort reality. Often time when trying to edit this particular page I encounter people like this. Even if you try to offer a rational solution or compromise they lash out. Unfortunately much like the wikipage the neighborhood itself has an identity crises. I am from the neighborhood and I would love to edit but my view would be biased too. But I will try to see if we can get somewhere with this contributor.--El Mayimbe (talk) 22:34, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Additionally, i think this contributor is perhaps an ip that made a profile for him/herself. If you look at the discussion page it is riddled with the same nonsense.--El Mayimbe (talk) 22:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your attention El Mayimbe. Indeed I saw some correlation between IP edits and the current situation. I was unsure about the value of the edits as, sometimes, apparently dubious edits such as these are removing vandalism/s or unsourced statements. AGF, but with your input, editors' failure to communicate, multiple section blanking, and as much of the deleted content was sourced this certainly seems not to be the case. As you feel ' involved' I would think that a full revert might be in order? But I see you have already boldly done so. I fully support your 'mega-revert' here. :)
I note that Bushwick, Brooklyn has nearly 300 page views per day, at least over the last 6 months. This seemed rather high to me, but Queens gets about 2,000, so it seems normal for these types of articles. Regards, 220 of 03:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. andy (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for notification. I assume this note is only because I edited the page? - 220 of 03:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
That's right - politeness is my middle name. andy (talk) 14:11, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Surprising, I didn't think politeness could be spelt with a 'j'. ;-)
ps. I have "subst" your AfD template, otherwise when I attempt to edit this section, I end up editing the template. - 220 of 14:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Eh?

Got an account, eh? HurricaneFan25 — 18:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Shhh! - 220 of 18:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm quite sure it's "low-level circulation center". HurricaneFan25 — 18:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, page updated! Credits in the Edit Summary. How about sentence seven in the same para "On September 29, by the time Nesat managed to re-develop at 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) ragged eye," which also appears in the section Meteorological history, (secon para.) except it says "ab 10 nautical miles". - 220 of 19:28, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I think what it means is "By the time Nesat re-developed on September 29, a ragged eye with a diameter of 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi)" — a ragged eye is basically an eye that is, well, ragged in appearance on satellite imagery. HurricaneFan25 — 19:56, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
After a few reads that's what I thought too! Fixed. - 220 of 20:09, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Saab

Hi, Im not so expoert with Saab, but have to try keep on eye on that article, there seems to be lots of editors now when it went to bankruptcy -->Typ932 17:46, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Typ932, I have been back there since, and reverted an edit calling the company defunct. The general view, without actually discussing it on the articles talk page, seems to be is that this is a bit premature. Companies do trade out of bankruptcy/receivership or are bought by someone. Some IP editors seem to be very eager to bury the company (without sources!). You might want to cast your 'expoert' eye over the relevant section (Youngman#Saab) of the Youngman Page too. It seems more than a little out of date. Regards, 220 of 18:09, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

A Happy New Year to All



Please Click!


I am 220 of Borg. I partake in this human seasonal celebratory event in order to more successfully infiltrate the Misplaced Pages collective, facilitating the addition of it's technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile!. Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Christchurch 2011 Earthquake

Dear 220 of Borg, Thankyou for your message and sorry for such a late reply.

- I have done some editing (also wrote what I have edited in the page) letting people know what I have done. I have also removed some information and made it my graph a simple one. - I had originally posted the earthquaks from September due to February actually being considered a Aftershock of the 2010 Earthquake, I have removed the September ones off the graph though, as It does not apply to the 2011 Earthquake. - All the facts and information that is on the page is from GNS Science, Earthquake programme "Geonet New Zealand" which is funded by the Earthquake commission in New Zealand. I have gotten all information from and only them. I have not used information from other sources, as Geonet is the New Zealand earthquake seismology and the Information they get is much more accurate then other places in the world.

If there is anything else in which you are unhappy with I'll be happy to read and will reply a.s.a.p, Rifled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rifled (talkcontribs) 02:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

  1. Thank you for replying Rifled (talk · contribs), though it may have been better to reply on your talk page to keep the conversation together. Don't worry about that, it doesn't really matter.
  2. I did also drop a message at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Earthquakes on the talkpage, asking for an editor more experienced in earthquakes to review your edits. I'm not sure anyone has even seen the message yet!
  3. Thank you for the edit summaries. They don't have to be quite so long though! Common words such as "remove/d can" be contracted to "rmv" or even a minus sign "-". See Misplaced Pages:Edit summary legend for more abbreviations.
  4. As for sources, what I care about is that when you make a change, it is easy for other editors to see why the change is being made ie. sourced figure has been updated, where it came from, and even when it was obtained (as some figures change frequently). The problem we have is that some vandals (whether 'registered' or 'IP' editors) delight in randomly changing figures. But if each figure or chart/table has a citation for it, then they can be verified much easier. The tools to do this are in your editing toolbar, at the far right where it says Cite. Click on that, go to the left side, click where it says Templates, select a template (probably cite web for your purposes, and then you merely need to fill in the various boxes. You can even "drag and drop" text from the sources page into the templates field boxes.
  5. I have edited the source URL as it did not link to the actual page the data was on. I have also added a cite for the "Canterbury region long-term probabilities" charts.
  6. Signing your talkpage comment does not mean typing in "Rifled". You either type in ~~~~ (which the software automatically converts to your signature when you save or preview it), or use the signature button on the editing toolbar above the editing window, which just enters the four tildes anyway. - 220 of 09:56, 26 December 2011 (UTC)


Hi thanks for your messages, I must say I'm not a expert at wikipedia but I am experienced in Earthquakes, my only problem is im not 100% familiar with wikipedia, and thus I must apologise and your messages are helping me do it right. Please message me if theres something I need doing. I am currently looking at how wikipedia is used, to help me in the future. Rifled (talk) 11:52, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

You are very welcome. I am glad that I have helped you. One of our 'behavioral guidelines' is "Don't bite the newbies". I seem to have suceeded!
My best suggestion is to just look around the articles that interest you and look out for errors, or the need for updates. Also look out for vandalism and learn how to revert it. You can pick pages to watch using your watchlist.
When editing use an informative (not too long!) edit summary.
Don't be too eager to write a new article. Many new editors do that as their first edit to WP and get a nasty shock when it is very quickly deleted. You have started learning what is needed for an article to be encyclopaedic. There is still more to learn!
If earthquakes are a special interest then I would suggest joining WikiProject Earthquakes.
I hope you had a good Christmas. I am available to help you any time I am on-line. You can also get help at Misplaced Pages:New contributors' help page. Or type {{helpme}} on your talk page, and an editor will visit you there to try to help you! - 220 of 12:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Thankyou my Misplaced Pages teacher! :) I had a great christmas, and I wish you the same for you and your family, I have started making edit summaries shorter, (eg, saying "rmvd" instead of removed) I shall look at those help pages now, thankyou for your time, Merry Christmas! Rifled (talk) 21:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC) (2 indents added by 220 of )
No worries! One small thing though, I have added 2 indents to your post as it is the standard practice on Wikipædia(WP) to indent succeeding posts in order to make it a bit easier to read. You do this with a leading colon mark :. Each one adds another indent:
Like this! (four colons) :::: text
and this! (five colons)::::: text
You will also see that I have left a little note to say what I have done. Usually though it is very much frowned upon to alter another editors comments. (And even changing your own comments if you already have a reply and you change the meaning of your post).
If an editor makes a mistaken accusation, even a warning template in error, then they may 'strike-through' it thus: <s>You are a bum</s> to produce You are a bum, rather than just deleting it. This indicates that the comment is withdrawn while preserving the 'history' of the discussion. Admins may revision delete a particularly offensive comment or prohibited material, even from the pages edit history, if required. See also Talk Page Guidelines. 220 of 03:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Merry Christmas to you, too!

Thanks for that! I hope your festive season is merry and bright too :) Grutness...wha? 00:04, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

I will be able to enjoy this Christmas pud, at least until the Borg implants take over fully! (Strangely, the decorative plastic berries and leaves on top seem particularly tempting! ) - 220 of 04:22, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Argh! Looks like you emailed me... but I stupidly deleted the message before I could read it! Grutness...wha? 01:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that I was considered missing! :O That's perfectly fine. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays! Thanks, NiciVampireHeart 06:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Good, but you were 'absent' for at least 6 months! (At least you weren't editing from that account.) Unfortunately, I also added to the list admin TFOWR (talk · contribs) who has now been MIA over 12 months! At least one notable editor (80K edits) has 'left', or at least abandoned their account for reasons I don't know, in late November. - 220 of 06:54, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Sarin attack

Glad you found it useful. Your changes are perfectly fine. Thanks for letting me know. wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 04:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

It was a very good find. It also cleared up a misconception I had about the wanted poster already in the article. Until I looked at it closely I thought that it showed 6 people, whereas it actually appears to be 3 photos, with 3 police(?) drawings of the same people. The Metro Police poster clued me onto this. (Funny they haven't removed Hirata from it yet, perhaps pending formal identification?)

A Solid Knock

Ok sir i am agree with you but problem with editing is that writing on wikipedia is too much controlled and regulated. I do not know why other users look for so much the extent of rightness in already right thing.There tens of wiki are there which simply shows that they are not neutral, they directly so the user relation with that religion,place,person why do n't you neutralize them.I am reading them from long time. First thing is that its too much difficult to decide which word will be better I do not know that "impressed" word was ok or not at place of "attracted" but what i can do, i think there is no else popular " young sufi singer" in india. And for that city that sentence was very very important. Secondly i do not understand if you know what is right and what is wrong why don't you made correction instead of deletion or reversion. I am on wikipedia since last one year but posting of such messages on user page and reversion is really bothering. Some one add text for information not for entertainment or publicity it should be understood by top users.

A man from Matrix (talk) 21:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dharam00000007 (aka A man from Matrix}
When you reply to a note on your talkpage it is a good idea to make it clear what you are talking about, by linking to the article concerned, which in this case appears to be Punahana. I have tried to answer your questions (numbered) below.
  1. Misplaced Pages is an Encyclopædia not just a 'wiki', that is why it is "much controlled and regulated".
  2. I do not want to dissuade you from contributing to English Misplaced Pages (enWP), but if you have trouble editing WP in English, then perhaps there is a WP in your native language that you may find more suitable? You say elsewhere you have only been studying English for 2 years, so that is a barrier to your editing here. On the other hand you have knowledge that India related articles need that I will never have. So that is an area that you can almost certainly help En:WP with.
  3. It is irrelevant that "for that city that sentence was very very important". What is important is wp:verifiability and wp:notability. If you cannot find a source to show a persons notability then it seems that they are not notable, and therefore should not be on WP. When such text about a living person is added to a page it MUST have a reliable source. You may know it is true, but you have to be able to verify your knowledge. Far too much complete rubbish ie. untrue, defamatory, badly biased and nearly impossible to understand text is added to many articles.
  4. I am a fairly normal (possibly 'middle' ranking) user as I have been editing regularly on Misplaced Pages since September 2009. I started by just wandering around articles that seemed of interest and either correcting minor mistakes, or updating out of date text. I then spent a lot of time fixing references and then got more involved in current events. You have relatively few edits, so I suggest that you look around WP and do as I did. This is very important work.
  5. I have not even, on my own created an entirely new article, though I have a few drafts floating around. But because of the time I have waited I know how to do it correctly. I see that you created a new article on your 4th edit. Nothing to stop you doing that, though it has been discussed and I think it is a bad idea because many new editors have no idea how to do it 'properly'.
  • On an unrelated matter your username is problematic. I think it is far too long, why so many (seven)zeros? Dharam seems to be a fairly common part of many usernames but Dharam 7 is available. You can get a user name change, if you like. See Misplaced Pages:Changing username (I see from your edits you already know this, and have also been advised by another editor to alter your username)
  • Secondly your signature is slightly deceptive. I assume good faith here, but your sig. says "A man from Matrix". If it said "Dharam from Matrix" so it slightly resembled your username it would be better. Please see wp:Signature for more details. The relevant section says "Signatures which include no reference to the user's username (for example by signing with a nickname, as in User:Nickname) are strongly discouraged, as it can be confusing for editors (particularly newcomers). The actual username always appears in the page history, so using just the nickname on the relevant talk page can make it appear to be a different person." which is at Misplaced Pages:Signatures#Dealing with signatures' behaviour issues.
  • Finally, It is not necessary to refer to any editor by the honorific title "Sir".

2011–12 Los Angeles arson attacks

Based on its current state, it's pretty clear that 2011–12 Los Angeles arson attacks needs some serious work. I've started a discussion about how to go forward at Talk:2011–12 Los Angeles arson attacks#One cleanup possibility, and you're invited to participate. Thanks in advance, DoriTalkContribs05:33, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dori,
Sorry for late reply. I have just got back from giving YummyDonutsmmm (talk · contribs) a spray for removing maintenance templates without addressing the issues. Some were actually restored before I finished my 'rant'. They seem to be overly concerned with their DYK nomination ie "(removed tags for DYK nomination)" . I also strongly suggested that they should listen to experienced editors (mentioning your and Bar Code Symmetrys' edit counts, hope that was ok :-/ ). I may now be trouted for biteing a noob!  :-o
 • I'm not sure that I want anything to do with the page, considering the state it is in.
I am (AGF fail) suspicious about the number of 'new' accounts that are editing the article. Three have come in, 5-6 edits to this page are their only edits then gone, seems odd! Even using edit summaries. (Spidey senses tingling!) On a second look all their edits were related to the arrested persons. (Harry and Dorothee Burkhart) Odd. - 220 of 09:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I see now you have welcomed 2 of my aforementioned 'suspects'. ;-) --220 of 10:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
The more I thought about your suspicion, the worse it smelled to me—enough that I've now opened WP:Sockpuppet investigations/YummyDonutsmmm. Please feel free to add your thoughts there, as well. DoriTalkContribs02:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know DoriSmith. Looks like a real 'can of sockpuppets' may have been opened! I was tempted to just ask YummyDonutsmmm if they knew that sockpuppeting was not allowed. BTW the article actually looks much better now, courtesy of Bdell555 (talk · contribs). Regards, - 220 of 02:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Buckling restrained brace, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Connection (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you

You wrote a long paragraph to make me understand, thanks for that.I was having many queries and I asked few question from two three users but they are like robots. They behave like very professional persons. I don't know what's wrong in sharing information with others ;because they are approved good users.I am thankful to you that you replied in really good descriptive manner. I have many constraints.Everything is achievable but it just need time and lot of practice I was trying them in short time that is my mistake.But whatever I am writing on WP is just for information, knowledge and convenience. Because the area I have covered in my edits is the most backward area of India so I was trying to highlight these areas because I don't think it will be done by someone in the future. People here don't believe in study and area is full of illiterate people, no bus services,inferior roads, no power supply. But this area is part of India's most developed state.The information I am sharing hardly have any reference because no one bothers about these people and area so without reference information is useless (a/c to WP). But that sufi singer definitely having many references. As far as my name is concerned ,there is no need to worry about that because I will be no longer here on WP for edits to disturb the status of elite panel of WP. And I am sorry for my poor command over English language. It's not my tongue language and I started learning it few years ago.

Thank You Very Much.

Reply to message

Hello. I received you e-mail where you notificated my inclusion in the Missing Wikipedians list. It's true that I haven't been active as an editor for a while. However, I continue to enjoy reading Misplaced Pages every few days. I reply to all messages I receive on my user page. I don't know if this qualifies me as missing or not. Maybe missing is different from inactive. Anyway, All the best, Anna Lincoln 12:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Very nice to hear from you Anna!. If you wish I will remove you from the list.(unless you want to do it yourself?) Perhaps you need a Wiki-break message on your page? Regards, 220 of 12:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

aggh, that person is such a pest. I did around 20 corrective edits last night and I checked over many more that both you, User:Hawaiian717 and others did as well. That info box slipped past me. I did not keep a record of all the IPs being used but this person has been engaging in mischief editing with a clear and discernible pattern and style. On some of the articles it goes well back into december. I assume it is an established editor who has gone feral. I noted some standard corrective edits mixed in with earlier mischief edits. Some of the erroneous content is quite well disguised. Good work with all your clean ups, and thanks for saying hello. I hope this person soon sorts out whatever aircraft and airline information demons that have found their way into their cranial cavity. -- Felix (talk) 04:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

AGF! As far back as September 2011 actually I think. They also seem to have an interest in TV station pages, but not recently. I am just now finishing a Google translated note to 'Utilisateur:Noel.guillet' on Fr:wp as they have created some new airport pages recently and appear to have copied some false airport information from our en:WP pages. - 220 of 04:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I will correct this mad things.Noel.guillet (talk) 07:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, an odd trifecta of obscure Saudi airports, Indonesian airlines and TV stations. I suspect mind altering drugs have been ingested, possibly with an excess of enthusiasm and leading to a less than subtle cerebral confusion. Certainly they seem to be having some trouble with sustaining a match between the published aviation schedules and the television broadcasts and have somehow got them seriously confused. I certainly hope they don't work in ATC-- Felix (talk) 13:58, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your post. I think that SVT is largely dormant, however I know that a few people actively watch the page, including me. I'll definitely take a look at the link you posted. This is exactly the sort of thing that SVT was created for. Thanks again. Shadowjams (talk) 23:04, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Shadowjams. I spent at least 6 hours on Thursday chasing this person, others have probably spent similar amounts of time. AGF (gone now!) with my final note to 78.101.101.192 (talk · contribs), which I have no way of knowing they even read as they seem to have changed IP about that time, but they have been totally unresponsive to all communication (I'd almost welcome a rant of harassment from them!). Some of those fake airport names ('LUX', a soap reference?) are a give-away, this is just a troll, or a silly kid. Or maybe someone 'experimenting' to see how long it takes us to fix their vandalism? Edit 'warring' suggest otherwise. Regards,- 220 of 23:34, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Warning levels

Hi 220_of_Borg. May I rustle your pines? Thanks for this revert, but if you check the diff, you'll see you used Template:uw-unsourced2. The 2 means it's a warning at level 2 on the 1-4 warning scale. Is there a reason why you chose level 2? Normally, first warning would be level 1, next=2, next=3, next=4, next=blocked. Please see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_user_warnings/Usage_and_layout#Levels if you've not read it lately.

Actually there's no harm done, as the user again misbehaved, so I gave him a lvl2 also!

Anyway, I see you've taken to WP very quickly, and it's great you use TW to revert vandalism.

Happy editing, Trafford09 (talk) 16:30, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

That's a common misconception, and precisely why I hate the current 1-4 scale. There's no obligation to start at level one or finish at level four. I've been known to start at level three and then block without further warning. I'm of the opinion that nobody should ever receive all four warnings before being reported/blocked, because they all have a slightly different purpose and tone. Level one is an assumption of good faith ("it might not have been your intention..."), while level 2 makes no assumption of faith ("please refrain..."), three is a cease and desist ("please stop..."), and four is a last warning ("If you continue ... you will be blocked"). You should start with the message most appropriate to the edit, and if the edit is obviously not just a test and not intended to improve Misplaced Pages, then start with a level two or even level three. The reason automated tools and bots increment by one each time is that they can't make a judgement on the severity of the vandalism or the user's history. Humans can, and therefore should. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:43, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Point noted - thanks. Trafford09 (talk) 16:53, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

@ Trafford09.
Hi, Trafford09, thank you for your POV. I class the welcome template I used as roughly equivalent to a level 1 warning. I think this is better than a immediate level 1 (agf) warning-only template as I; welcome the noob, 'chastise' them (without 'biting'), and point them in the right direction with links in case they are just a little misguided. They can't complain they weren't warned! So I would suggest upgrading yours to a level 3 warning.

In fact, having another look at their edit history (Esp. since your post) they have added un-sourced information to Costa Concordia 7 times across 3 hours, 5 times after first warning (and 3 more since your post here). They should be are blocked now! The last 5 edits was also the same text so edit warring and 3RR violation too. And that text was rather un-encyclopedic and, potentially, needlessly distressing for any readers who knew passengers aboard that ship. On the other hand if it was true, not particularly relevant unless a RS mentioned it or a passenger was attacked by a predator.

As a matter of procedure I have therefore added a {{uw-ew}} Edit warring Template to the editors collection.
And I agree with HJ, the warning level depends on the nature of the edit in question. A particularly bad, blatant and badly sourced or un-sourced BLP vio could and should result in an immediate higher lvl warning or even an immediate preventative block. Pines un-rustled. 220 of 02:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

And as I was typing above reply they came back and vandalised 'Costa Concordia' 4 more times! (bringing the Cosa Nostra and Israeli submarines into the picture. So much for AGF!) Blocked @ 02:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC) - 220 of 02:56, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for Keit to "assimilate"

Thank you for your request to me via the Reference Desk (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science#Why_do_consumer_electronics_use_DC.3F) to register.

I have been much discouraged from registering by peanut admin folk discussing whether to block me on their (publicly accesible!) Admin noticeboard, admin discussions on whether I'm a troll, or someone else quite unlikely, and by their occaisional bizare discussion on blocking others. (notwithstanding that certain nuisances I could name popping up with impunity when they are bored - they will know who they are). As my IP address changes each time I boot up the PC, I can come and go as I wish. Registering would only make it easier from them to block me.

I always, unless it is obviously otherwise, assume OP's have posted their questions with genuine need to know.understand, or a genuine desire to know/understand, and I only post if the subject falls within my competence and I believe I am being helpful. I do challenge folk who have posted things incorrect. So it's a bit mystifying why Admin folk think I'm a threat - perhaps they have either too much or too litle to do. Keit120.145.23.26 (talk) 15:13, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Well if they annoy you on the Admin board, imagine what thay say when they talk privately (e-mail etc) to each other! (just kidding ;-).
Re Ref desk, yes some of the answers on the DC query were made in good faith, but were just not correct.
It's naturally up to you if you want to register. I myself spent over 2 years as an IP editor (static IP) and did over 12,000 edits. But registering made many tools (like Twinkle) available that help me a lot, so I wish I had registered earlier, though I am not editing as much as I used to. The trick to being block-free is not to get into hassles with anyone. (and not edit warring!) The only threat of blocking I got was from an editor (IP) whose vandalism I reverted. AFAIR they were later blocked, very amusing! Regards, 220 of 02:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

2012 Aurora shooting

there must be some sort of error.the only change i have made to this account is changing the infobox title to "2012 aurora massacre" other than that i don't recall any other edits.talk) 21:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I think that I was referring to the message at the top of your page ""i pray to god ...". Such things are probably, technically, by strict enforcement of the rules, not allowed on Misplaced Pages(WP) but if you make a lot of good edits it is likely it will be ignored. (And I did say "I share your feelings about the Aurora shooting".) Some people, for instance, have very strange theories and ideas that they try to use WP, especially their user page, to promote. This is called 'soapboxing'. These editors are likely to be warned first and if they continue they are probably blocked from editing and eventually banned from editing if they continue to infringe WP:policy.
As for your edit, The title of the page was 2012 Aurora Shooting not massacre.
1) The infobox title should match the page title. Your edit was made in good faith, but be wary of doing similar edits.
- If you had a good reason for changing Shooting to Massacre than you should have said so in an edit summary.
2) If it was only your opinion or point of view it is contrary to the Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view policy which says "Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources."
3) As Misplaced Pages is an Encyclopedia, we try to keep our personal opinions out of it. For example WP is not censored. I have seen things here that made me feel uncomfortable, but that is the way it is. To be 'encyclopaedic', WP must cover subjects that we find distateful and ideas that we strongly disagree with or even find extremely offensive.
4) I see that you have 115 edits on WP, (see here) but 75 of those are edits to your userpage. Remember thet WP is not MySpace or FaceBook. See Misplaced Pages:User pages for more information.
5) You have made only 3 edits to a WP article page. I suggest that you find some pages on subjects that interest you, and try to expand/correct/improve them or find a notable subject to write a new page about. Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games may be of interest.

Glad to hear you take WP seriously videogamesbeast. I do not think that you are 'abusing' your account in any way. Just that if you are serious, then having a much higher usepage edit count than article edit count is not an ideal situation. Having so much information about yourself could be interpreted as a bit "MySpacey". Many editors have a lot of userboxes, you just need to balance your edit count.
By the way, I think you need to 'fix' your signature, as you can see it just shows as "talk)". As "videogamesbeast" is fairly long, ( videogamesbeast (talk) or Video (talk) ), perhaps you could shorten how it displays to "VGB" or VideoGB like this VGB (talk), or VGamesBeast ? No username change required just, in your preferences,alter how it is displayed .
ps. I suggest that you capitalise the start of your sentences, and leave a space after a full stop, makes it easier to read! Sorry for nagging - 220 of 17:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Response to your comment on my talk page about Gas flare and Blowdown stack

First of all, a "Flare stack", a "Gas flare" and a "Blowdown stack" are all one and the same thing. In my 50 years of designing refineries and natural gas plants and operating them, the most common usage is "Flare stack". Flare stack exists now, but it redirects to Gas flare.

A flare stack, alternatively known as a gas flare or as a blowdown stack, is a gas combustion device ......

Merging Blowdown stack into Flare stack would require little if any actual merging. Perhaps your added reference to the BP explosion is all that is needed.

I would urge you to make those changes because I simply don't want to get involved in what may turn into a hassle. mbeychok (talk) 15:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your response Mbeychok (talk).
If it's of any interest my edits followed seeing a TV documentary BP: Profits and Disaster, which was all about BP's supposedly lackadaisical attitude to safety,"Long before the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, BP was widely viewed as a company that valued deal-making and savvy marketing over safety, .." etc, (Blurb from a TV guide here)
In view of the fact that the Gas flare page apparently needs to be moved to the existing re-direct Flare stack, I think that an Admin is needed to perform to move. A source to support your assertion about the common usage of 'flare stack' (Which I do not doubt! - "50 years of designing refineries and natural gas plants" ) would be good.
Interestingly the TV docu. segments on the BP Texas City Refinery explosion seem to imply, if not actually say IIRC, that a "Flare stack" and a "Blowdown stack" (they also say "Blowdown drum") are not the same. The main difference being the absence of a 'flare' to burn off the 'vented' gases perhaps? Variations of the same device? I'll have to re-watch the program. The related NASA article "Refinery Ablaze – 15 dead", System Failure Case Studies. January 2008, Vol.2, Special Issue (pdf) which I added to the 'Blowdown stack' page, might be of interest. - 220 of 16:06, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
If you look at the schematic flow diagram that I drew for the current Gas flare article, you will see a "liquid knockout drum" which is part of a well-designed flare system. The drum is often referred to as a "blowdown drum".
I don't think that an admin is needed to move articles to new names. I've done it many times. But now that I am 89 years old, I just don't want to get too involved.
As for a reference source for my saying that flare stacks and blowdown stacks are one and the same, I seriously doubt that anyone has ever written article on that subject. The petroleum industry has a terminology (jargon) of its own ... and there are a great many things in the industry that are called by different names. Regards, mbeychok (talk) 16:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Nice diagram. (FlareStack System.png). The problem with the name 'move' is that there is an existing page (re-direct) at that name. If the re-direct was not there, then it would indeed be a simple matter to 'move' Gas flare to Flare stack. I believe that the 'Flare stack' re-direct will need to be deleted first to 'free' the name for use, hence an Admin function. I'll try to see how it can be done but it's late here (UTC +11 ≈ 4 am+) so I'll 'sign off' for now. Regards , 220 of 17:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I Goofed

I Goofed

I am sorry I lost the citation and could not find the documentation again. I am not very good on the computer. I tried and gave up. "Petraeus stated "Clearly, she (Broadwell) connived her way into my pants to destroy the good name of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.” Was from a news article that I did not cite because I lost it. I did not think it was tripe. I was surprised at Petraeus' statement and suspicion of Broadwell's motives. I thought the quote had value. The statement was copied and pasted. I did not make it up. I am not that creative. It is on a news bulletin on line somewhere. Sorry, I goofed. It was not an attempt to vandalize. I keep forgetting every word I add on the Misplaced Pages without a citation has no value and is looked on with suspicion by others. I have also found citing from a published book that is somewhat obscure has no value. Even if the just of the material can immediately be found elsewhere. The curiosity of others is not at the same level as mine. I imagine you will never do a search for the quote and document it yourself, since you think it is tripe. We have different values and perceptions. To me a quote is only a quote. It has historical value. Kazuba (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:13, 10 November 2012‎‎ (UTC)

I found it again. Kazuba (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:30, 10 November 2012 ‎‎ (UTC)

I am sorry 220 of Borg. I now see the source I used for the quote is flaky and cannot be trusted. I apologize. I was totally fooled by my haste and the impressive format. Please forgive me I meant no harm. Kazuba (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:08, 11 November 2012‎ (UTC)

No need (I hope!) to be quite so apologetic Kasuba! However, such a statement, because of it's nature and effect on the person/s involved if untrue, means that it must be cited from a reliable source. If it it is such a nature that it is unlikely to be challenged, then you can 'get away' with not providing a source, though you should per WP Biographies of living persons policy, epecially Verifiability which says "Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it "
By the way, it was not I that removed your edit, it was an IP editor, but I thought it was worthwhile advising you of the care that needs to be taken with BLP's
PS. your signature (sig) is not putting the date/time on your post, suggest that you fix this. Regards, 220 of 00:44, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Lech Kaczyński

Hi, The Magnificent Clean-keeper
The silliness at Lech Kaczyński continues, 212.14.57.130 (talk · contribs) (at West Pomeranian University of Technology by the way) has re-added their unsourced fringe theories at least twice since you reverted them last. I have given them a lvl 3 warning for unsourced edits and also told them they are edit warring, here. Just FYI, regards, 220 of 09:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. It's good to know I'm not the only one watching the article. A block or better a lengthly page semi-protection seems to be in order soon.TMCk (talk) 19:10, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Just stumbled upon it really. As far as I can recall, I was reviewing some of my old edits (as an IP actually!) at his wifes' bio. I popped over to have look at his bio as I heard recently that there were concerns that some bodies from the plane crash they died in had not been identified properly and that he was exhumed for re-testing? But, no mention. 220 of 19:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
OMG apparently they did mix up some bodies! Ryszard Kaczorowski, "Poland's last president-in-exile reburied heraldsun.com.au-AAP November 04, 2012". "At least four more exhumations are planned, in a situation embarrassing for Poland's officials and straining already tepid relations with Russia." ! Should that be included on his page? It doesn't say much about his death at the moment anyway. --220 of 19:37, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Just a thought

Have you considered archiving this page? You can get a bot to do it if you want (there's some code at the top of my talk page you can copy and change my username to yours), but manual editing is easy enough when you don't have a very busy talk page. It just makes current discussions easier to find and reduces the page load time. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:19, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi HJ!
It is (just) over a year long now isn't it? Happy pseudo-wiki birthday to me! (having started IP editing on 11 Sep. 2009) So last Sunday (11 Nov. 2012) was my wiki third +2 months! I will consider archiving. BTW did you get my e-mail? (If so, see related posts above ). How about your internet access, still limited? - 220 of 10:54, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Happy wiki-birthday, my friend. Yes, I got your email (it's what led me to take a glance at your talk page when it cmae up on my watchlist) but I don't think there's much to be done except what you've done already. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:06, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mareklug,
Thank you for correcting my edits at IL-76 and Aéro-Service that, as it tuned out, erroneously attributed the crashed aircraft to the wrong company.

Username patrolling

I was going through CAT:UAA when I noticed that you had made a username-policy notification at User talk:Angliss. Although it's not that important, and there's no real harm done, we usually ignore any improper usernames that haven't edited in a while, since they're likely to not edit again. In this case, the user last edited in October 2011, so that issue could have been ignored. But, like I said, no real harm done. Happy holidays.--Slon02 (talk) 21:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of 2012 New Zealand primetime television schedule

I have declined your request to speedy delete 2012 New Zealand primetime television schedule. I did this because WP:NOT is not a reason for speedy deleting a page - see the first example at WP:NOTCSD. If you think it should be deleted, feel free to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Ok Od Mishehu (till now I thought it was Old Mishehu ). I missed that criteria, but I can see your point. I looked around and found a few interesting discussions at the Village Pump, AFDs etc, on the subject of these types of articles. (IIRC I once came across someone putting an un-encyclopaedic list of bus routes on WP.)
I have no experience in AfD, a hangover from my IP editing days when CSD was much easier to do than AfD (couldn't create the AfD page as an IP!). I'll see what I can do, but it's getting late here (1.30 am!). Regards, 220 of 14:32, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
I see you use Twinkle. In addition to the "csd" link it gives you, there's also an "xfd" link. Use it and everything else should be self-explanitory. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Queensland government articles

Yes, there is a lot of updating needed on Queensland government articles. Some of the responsible Ministers have not been updated and some still need name changes. There are links to epa.qld.gov.au and now derm.qld.gov.au is out of date. As far as I can see updates have only been done on an ad-hoc basis. - Shiftchange (talk) 09:17, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like a job for a bot! I did a search for "fisheries.qld" and couldn't find any. There are ""dpi.qld" though, It appears that simply changing "dpi" to "daff" does not work, - 220 of 10:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

      Concur Ian.thomson. I added a message and lk to Subjects contact info page on IPs talkpage: Misplaced Pages:Contact us - Subjects which has info-en-q@wikimedia.org for contact. (and have just added it to Yees' talkpage too). Is that best email for this issue? --220 of 02:03, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
      When I was at ANI, there's a message saying to report threats of violence there, so it seemed the best choice at the time. Are there other options? (For reporting threats of violence that is, your actions were also a good idea). Ian.thomson (talk) 02:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
      Your action seems correct, I assume you Emailed to emergency@wikimedia.org. This contact is also noted at the top of Misplaced Pages:Responding to threats of harm (shortcut wp:EMERGENCY). I went to the Yee talkpage expecting a message from the IP there per their last edit summary, but appears they meant their IP talkpage, so I posted there. Then after being offline a while, came back and as they had been blocked, I posted to the Yee talkpage too. --220 of 03:31, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

          Hi, I got your message on my talk page, and I see the banner at the top. Can you tell me the specific sections that require redress? This is for Logan River Academy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgottesfeld (talkcontribs) 13:17, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

          You have already made some improvements. That 'banner' is not exactly what I was after, perhaps tone would be a better way of saying it. The page just seems to be rather negative in 'tone'.

          The reality is that it is quite a terrible place, and that's part of why I feel the need to document it on Misplaced Pages. We've been doing a lot of investigate work, and I have primary sources, which we and others have now vetted (they corroborate) and made available online. If you've never looked into the Troubled Teen Industry, it's pretty shocking. It rocked me to my core, and we are not exagerating, Logan River is actually not the worst program kids can end up in. So, while I'm sure there are some positive aspects of the school, from the school's own perspective, there is little positive mention of it anywhere. We do note that their educational program is properly accredited, and that they are state licensed. The note about residential accreditation is very important, and relevant. It is also backed up by reliable U.S. government sources. Also, please check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN5hIcSIH78

          Invitation

          There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

          As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil 06:33, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

          I have a loose end with another editor. They reverted my edit to the censorship page, and we appear to disagree about what actions would constitute censorship. I think I asked about it on their talk page, but can't find that in their history anymore. I'm not aware of a reply.

I can't find any evidence of its existence, and being founded in 1900 in Ireland by someone with what looks like a West African name is rather unlikely. BTW as an educational establishment, it wasn't liable to A7 anyway. Those, if not copyvio as this undoubtedly is or spam, have to go to prod.

          Thanks for your feedback, and kind words. I will fix the punctuation around the references, and add some wp:categorys. I will be adding a section on same-sex marriages shortly. I will see about adding a brief section on the main Marriage page linking to the Marriage and Health article. All best,

          Mufti Mansurul haque

          Hi, thanks for message. It's quite common for people writing about themselves to put the text on their user page either at the same time as posting an article or when the article is deleted. In this case, another editor then saw the user page posting, moved it to a sandbox and warned that it shouldn't have been on a user page. At that stage, fairly routine, and the editor hadn't even created the sandbox version himself. However, creating a new account to avoid the deletions is sockpuppetry, and I've blocked the user.

          In terms of actions that an editor can make, warning the user with Twinkle or similar, CSD tagging, or notifying an admin are, I think, all that's possible. Deletion, protection of the page title and blocking are all admin actions. CSD requests are normally dealt with within a day , but it's worth letting an admin know if there is a pattern of recreation which might be missed.

          FWIW, the page title was also incorrect, "mufti" is a title and not a name. Thanks for your help, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:34, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

          A11 speedy deletions.

          Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages, but WP:CSD#A11 was not the right tag for pages like {{Horeisa]] and Hot Sandy Desert. A11 is restricted to cases where the article "plainly indicates that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally" - e.g. "Flooble is a word invented by me and my friend Jackie". It was devised for cases which were not hoaxes in the sense of attempt to deceive, and didn't qualify for A7, but were obviously made up one day.

          Horeisa etc didn't have the evidence that they were made up by the article author (though I expect they were), but they qualified for WP:CSD#G3 blatant hoax, and that's how I deleted them. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:05, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

          Speedy deletion nomination of Eric charles wilkinson

          If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

          You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

          A tag has been placed on Eric charles wilkinson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1414139/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

          If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

          If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. reddogsix (talk) 04:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

            Daniel Bell (Australian swimmer)

            Hello, thanks for your edit to this article, but I've partially undone it because FESPIC Games is by far the most common way to refer to the event in my experience; spelling out the acronym is like saying "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" instead of "NASA". Graham87 15:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

            Thanks for message Graham87.
            Having never heard of the 'FESPIC' event I wouldn't know. But isn't it a good idea to 'spell it out' on first use of the term? I often come across acronyms that may be familiar to the creator of the page, but are not obvious to me. I wonder how many people don't know what NASA is? I am editing from a tablet which doesn't give me the pop-ups of linked pages that a laptop would, so I am more aware of this than previously. 220 of 15:25, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
            Nope, because its expanded form is almost never used. I don't get popups of linked pages either because they aren't read by my screen reader (by personal choice), and I also hate It when acronyms are used where their spelt-out forms are just as common and less ambiguous (New South Wales versus NSW, for instance). But I think terms like the FESPIC Games, the FINA World Aquatics Championships, and the IPC Athletics World Championships shouldn't be expanded because their spelt-out forms are so obscure and unwieldy.

                Morcombe infobox

                I just realised that changing suspect to something else removes it entirely from the info box, so leaving it as it is, is certainly fair enough. However in future, is there another type of info box? Or since the perpetrator is discussed in the lead, do we even need to address it in the info box at all? Ashton 29 (talk) 06:57, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

                I am not sure. I think there used to more types of infobox but they were combined into fewer, with lots of fields. I rarely add them myself, so not expert on the issue. It is actually template:infobox news event that is used, and it has a 'convicted' field, so I think you can change perpetrator to convicted, and it should work. As to whether it is required, 'normal practice' would be my guide. 220 of 07:17, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

                Blog reference for 2013 International Child Pornography Investigation

                Not sure if I should answer you here or in my own 'talk.' I found the original of the piece that was mirrored in godlikeproductions.com . The cited appendix of contact and photographic offenses is highly reliable - I have laboriously re-checked the figures from the newspaper articles and the web-linked court documents for all 54 publicized arrestees, and the figures check out (I've made a 600-page Word document that has the primary news articles for all U.S. and most non-US Spade arrests pasted into it). The original posting of the article I found in godlikeproductions is at http://en.boywiki.org/Pedophobe_of_the_Year:Paul_Krawczyk%2CToronto_Police

                I can't immediately propose a solution for the dilemma that some readers may doubt the information because of its source. I wrote for the LGBT press in the 1970s and everything we said was considered politically self-interested and discreditable; nowadays grad students email me because the material we wrote about is part of their thesis. Perhaps history will need to repeat itself with information from the automatically discreditable deviants of the present day. To insert the information without using Mr. Najarian's compilation would require inserting over 50 references, and it would appear to be primary research. If this aspect of the story has to be omitted, we'll leave it to the grad students of 2025. Boywiki.org is offline for software upgrading until Apr 2 according to a notice that was posted the day I was looking at it. Godlikeproductions.com is - not surprisingly - a paranoid website, but it only rejects primary IP addresses like yours if someone has used them, or has maliciously reported them, for spamming. People generally should be able to see it with no problem as long as they're not using a proxy server, but it did reject one server host I was at that had been briefly subverted by a bot net.

                Thanks again for giving me the benefit of your experience.

                If you were answering a query/comment I left on your talkpage then it would probably be best to answer it there to keep both sides of the discussion in the one place. You can the use a wp:talkback template on my talkpage to let me know there is a message for me.
                Boywiki.org does not sound like a reliable source. 'Wiki' strongly suggests it is a wp:Self published source. I don't know all the ins and outs of sourcing, but we do have wp:Reliable sources noticeboard which may help you check a sources acceptability. This is pretty controversial information about living people (arrest/conviction for child pornography offenses!) so per wp:BLP it must be reliably sourced. I'm not even sure if we would normally list all convictions in huge cases like this, the case is notable, not necessarily each convicted person. 220 of 16:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

                Hello, 220 of Borg. You have new messages at 220 of Borg's talk page.
                You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

                Unfortunately, this is an interestingly marginal case, because even though the source itself is probably considered self-published, the information referred to is an accurate compilation of data from 50 - 80 ironclad reliable sources (Daily newspapers or Justice Dept. documents). The individual cases mentioned in the sources are mostly not notable, but the data, as compiled in numerical form, are highly notable (or 'is notable' if you take 'data' as a singular). Can a case be made for compilations merely summarizing reliable information? (I have some deadlines coming up and I may not be able to pursue this wiki-cratic conundrum promptly). In any case, the biographical information associated with the names of arrestees is impeccably protected from falsehood, and the persons are not mentioned in wikipedia in any case. Dan Perrens (talk) 14:57, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

                I can only again suggest you take it up on the Reliable sources noticeboard or perhaps ask at the Village pump. Oh, and you don't need to use a talkback unless you want me to see a message posted elsewhere, I get a notification any time my talkpage is edited. - 220 of 15:13, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

                The Ryan Loskarn information

                I'm still tracing where the confusion might have come in about the statement about the basement, but http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/196635-loskarns-mother-releases-open-letter-he-wrote-before-committing still says, today,

                "The former chief of staff to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) who committed suicide left behind an open letter where he says he was drawn to child pornography because he was abused as a child.

                Jesse Ryan Loskarn, 35, hanged himself in his parents’ basement in Sykesville, Md., last week, just over a month after he was arrested on child pornography charges."

                It's not a major point, but I check all facts with life-or-death attention because I like accuracy Dan Perrens (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

                I did see other sources mention it but they appeared to have got it from that hill.com blog. It's not that important where it happened, just they he did suicide. But if we say it was in the basement, we need a wp:Reliable source to support it.
                Odd, I am quite certain I couldn't find basement mentioned, but it is certainly there! :-\ 220 of 16:31, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

                100% agreed with your comments on my talk page, I know about WP:Notability. I don't have any connection with Miller Henry and Asif Ali Laghari. My job is to tag the pages for deletion and removing copyrighted material from Misplaced Pages. I saw the page during editing when Miller created it, I go through Laghari's contribution that purely show significance of the article since he is young researcher. The article written so for is about the person whose notability can be judge by his contributions, Reliable Publications at this age. I just uploaded his photo on Misplaced Pages when I go through his Social page and there were clearly written that he himself gave permission to use his photos and I clearly declared Licensed on File.

                While we're on it, my 'suspiciousness' led me to follow the 'other' editor, Nechilson's archives (they removed the CSD from Laghari's page). They led to the pages of user 'HitroMilanese' (HM) that the struck-out talkpage post happened to come from. Interestingly 'Nechilson' seems to have copied the entire talkpage layout from HM's talkpage. Funny that!  Looks like a duck to me

                I didn't realise that tagging it for translation would mark it as reviewed, though I had some suspicion it may have been promotional. Is that why you un-reviewed it? --220 of 07:30, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
                I thought that instead of just marking the page as needing translation, it would be good to get some reviewer who knows the language to actually see if it is a candidate for speedy deletion. Thus I unreviewed it. M. Caecilius (talk) 08:17, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
                No problem, though it took me some digging to find the log where you unreviewed the page. Still have a feeling it'll end up being a promo piece. --220 of 08:28, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

                I made these edits, despamming, removing a dead link and spam links to commercial sales sites like iTunes and discogs. The only surviving ref is to Sunskull which is not independent nor does it verify the text. Do you think the prod should go back on? Feel free to undo or modify any of my edits, i do tend to swing thescythe vigorously Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
                Ducks scythe! (Swish!!!!) I think you undid a few of my edits there! I didn't look at the refs as I was 'fiddling' with removing the dreaded red Cite errors, which brought me to the page in the first place. Yes, he has been going around adding and linking 'Sunskull' to their webpage. He did it at Zoltan Bathory too, I removed that, but other text he added is unreferenced. Was also using WP pages as a refs, though I've told 'Kiss' that's not allowed.

                Sorry about this. On Chinese Misplaced Pages not many people use edit summaries, therefore I am still not too used to do that. I'll definitely try to use summaries a bit more.

And since most of the other articles using these graphs are deleted (Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_military_dictatorships, Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_dictatorships, Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of modern dictators in Latin America), I could not see why these graphs should not be removed.--Jsjsjs1111 (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

If we had a title for the page at monorail.org we would have a better chance of finding it. I have tried, and haven't found it there.

                  Maya articles

                  Hi 220 of Borg, I've gone through the list of Maya articles that you provided. Many were culled from articles that I had written, but the refs had been stripped out - I've reestablished the referencing. Others, while apparently genuine, were referenced to other Wiki articles. There were also a lot of assumptions being made about birth- and death- places (i.e. if a king ruled in a place, he was born and died there... not so!) Anyway, I've put refs into most of the articles, hopefully they look a bit better now. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 14:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

                  Thanks for that, as I said, exactly the right person. I think I can see how the cites/footnotes got seperated from the sources then. Did they actually copy your text without attribution? --220 of 14:28, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
                  Yes, from fully referenced Misplaced Pages articles, mainly from Copán, but also from Nojpetén and Spanish conquest of Petén, possibly from others. There are also a number of articles that aren't based on stuff I wrote. Simon Burchell (talk) 14:41, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
                  Well that editor has been rather naughty, but if the refs are all sorted there are much more important things to worry about, like the Nigerian sockpuppets I have been chasing recently. Only been socking since 2012!
                  I had a similar ref fix once, someone had copied all the text in a section, then opened the edit window and pasted the 'raw' text in again. It had everything there, even the boxes but no actual refs! Easy to fix, once you work out WTF was going on! --220 of 14:58, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

                  Hi there. To respond to the message you left on my talk page, I created that page. I still have access to the "soulbust" account, and I actually made a request to change my name back to that username. After realizing that I created the article on that account, I realized the confusion that could cause, but I have no real idea what to about that or my username. I do have access to both the soulbust and bobcatwaterlion accounts, and I edit on the latter, but what I want to do is have my contributions and username to be registered under the soulbust account, as the previously were. I figure that if that can't be done, however, that it would be fine to keep having them registered on the bobcatwaterlion account. Bobcatwaterlion (talk) 13:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

                  Reply to your message about the page "Colin Moriarty"

                  Hi, this is Kayne Fegeley. My reply is that I was unaware of a rule of no external links in the body of the wiki as I've seen other pages who have done so. So I put the external links there and what not. But when I came back and saw that you edited them out, I was like "Oh". But I decided to put them back because after you had edited it, there must have been a mistake because they were left as red links and so, still not realizing there was a rule against external links in the body of the wiki, decided to put the links back. I acknowledge the mistakes on my part. Sorry. — Preceding undated comment added 13:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

                  This is Kayne Fegeley. There is most likely multiple Colin Moriarty pages for the reason that on an episode of The GameOverGreggy Show posted at 0:00 PST/3:00 EST on YouTube when Colin Moriarty himself asked of people to make him a Misplaced Pages page, and thus how the internet works, multiple fans of Colin and the show decided "Hey, I'll make a brand new page for him!" instead of assisting the already created pages in creating a proper page. And here we are with multiple pages. — Preceding undated comment added 13:40, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

                  @Jenks24: Highly likely same editor. Can't see much encyclopaedic value in a description of exactly what bits of female anatomy, interesting as they may be visually, are on display. The calendar issue is IIRC effectively covered (or uncovered?) on the Matildas page. The name of the calendar, and that it was apparently un-successful, may be worthwhile mentioning there, though that may 'encourage' Nixon. Misplaced Pages:CSD#G5(created by a banned user) is a possibility, or WP:CSD#A10(duplicates an existing topic) or maybe WP:CSD#A7 (No indication of importance).

                  @Jenks24: Meant to ping you back (again) actually. Didn't realise you were an Admin! The calendar page wasn't too bad, apart from their obsession with describing what body parts were on show, though as I said before, it can easily be covered on the main 'Matilda's' page. Even the individual pages about each player involved may not need a mention of it, certainly not that "... her left boob was exposed." Especially when some of their BLPs are, or were, very short on the details of her sporting achievements. (I wonder what would happen if the media got wind of this: Misplaced Pages Nude Calendar Editing Shock Horror Scandal, etc!)
                  • However, being created by an almost certain sock puppet of a blocked editor is a problem. Is it required, or merely 'standard practice' to remove any edits by blocked editors? I presume you've had a peek at the SPI I added five socks to yesterday? Several of the Matildas BLPs were created by recent likely Nixon2 socks. ie. Traci Bartlett & Kim Revell.
                  • They may be branching out beyond the Matildas too, see Nizam002 (talk · contribs) and this edit.--220 of 16:28, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
                  Must admit sockpuppets and whatnot aren't my forte (might be the first time I've ever deleted something as G5 now I think about it), but my understanding is that contributions from blocked/banned users can be deleted, not that they must. So my thoughts were we really don't need an article on the calendar, but for the Matildas players who obviously are notable it makes more sense to try and salvage them. I've tidied up the Bartlett article a bit and removed anything about the nude calendar. Just glanced at the SPI, good to see that a range block has been applied, hopefully it's effective.

                  I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

                  • dates
                  • years
                  • commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
                  • common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

                  This applies to infoboxes, too.

                  Spotahome

                  Hi, I got a message at that my article Spotahome may not meet Misplaced Pages guidelines and may not be retained. I have contributed articles in the past and am generally familiar with the guidelines. I tried my best to use quality references. Is there any way I could get more specific feeback about this article? Is there anything I can do to improve it so it's not deleted, or is it simply a problem with the subject matter? There are articles on similar companies with about the same level of notoriety, therefore I don't see why an article about this company wouldn't be allowed. I look forward to your feedback. Sweeeedishfish (talk) 11:57, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

                  @Sweeeedishfish: I noted that a page of the same name, written by you, had been deleted before in April, See here. Because "Article ..., which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject".
                  I sent you the 'Welcome' because you may find it helpful in learning about WP policies. Not necessarily because there is anything wrong with the page. However, "Founded .... in March of 2014", suggests a definite lack of notability. Each page is 'judged' according to WP policy and that page's merits, other pages are not really relevant. See Other stuff exists.
                  I assume good faith (till demonstrated otherwise). However, if, if, you are connected to this website in any way, then you have a conflict of interest and should not be writing a page about it. Regards, --220 of 12:35, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

                  You deleted an article I was writing about Pádraig Ó Caoimh and put a link to an article about a different man. They are two different people with the same name. How do I get the text back? I was just about to add the references. Thank you. Dunmanus (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Dunmanus

                  As shown above, I linked to the article and it is still there. It has not been deleted. See also: Padraig O'Keeffe and Patrick O'Keeffe (politician). Hope this helps. – Paine Ellsworth  18:48, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
                  @Paine Ellsworth: I should have removed that 'help me'. I copied the post back to the editor's talkpage and sorted it out there. Apparently they are different political people of exactly the same name, both took part in the Irish War of Independence (Tan War), and were born only 20 years apart. With the musician of the same name (in Irish) I can see a dab page coming.--220 of 19:17, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

                  I see you've 'hat-noted' the appropriate pages. Coming up on 5 years editing WP (first ≈2/6 on a static IP), I have "less than 30" page watchers now, but as an IP I had 32 watchers! Perhaps a static IP that had so many edits was a novelty, or they wanted to keep an eye on me? More likely some have left WP, or haven't noticed that I have a registered account, though a few recognised 'me' without being told. --220 of 03:23, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

                  @Shirt58:

                  Hi Pete (Not 'Shirty' as I said once ;-) As per your edit notice, on my talkpage.

                  I don't know if you noticed, but I heard a lot of 'quacking', on the Sreeja Chandran page. The three red linked new registered accounts all seem to be SPA's as they have only edited this page. Valid deletion templates were removed at least 4 times. (3 different editors nominated the page for deletion.) This edit here for example, before your first one. Leaning towards meatpuppets rather than socks a bit now. 'Balan25' for example is the only editor that made large deletions. Do you think I'm being too suspicious? --220 of 14:07, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

                  Hi! No, 220, I don't think you are being too suspicious. Maybe they are the same person; maybe they are different people pushing the same agenda. I can see their deleted contributions, and it looks like it would support an WP:SPI. Looks like it's somewhat over-enthusiastic but well-meaning fans, though. Or, as you point out, a somewhat over-enthusiastic but well-meaning fan, in the singular.
                  Even if some or all of 'em got blocked, it would appear that Sreeja Chandran is probably a notable enough TV actor to have a Misplaced Pages article: the TV network is for real, the TV show is for real, and there's no indication that the person is anything other than what is presented in the article. (I've come across some stuff that is faked like you wouldn't believe - I'll let you know next time I see something.) You could take the article to AfD if you want, but there may well be enough Hindi and Tamil language press to get Ms Chandran over the line as well.
                  Oh yeah: JackofOz still calls me "Shirty" and he's been around even longer that I have, so that's fine by me. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:39, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
                  Thanks for message. Considering what you say, I think I'll leave the ducks alone for now, so long as they don't 'quack' more. Getting a bit fed up with such things. Been getting far more involved in page deletions (NPP) lately and running into socks far more than I expected. See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Anzwalla for example and very 'enthusiastic' editor Boraj Tanwaran (talk · contribs), who asked me to recreate their deleted page for them. --220 of 10:07, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

                  Thanks for your edits to the Cdh Proton Center page. How can I better establish notability, other than the links/references I included?

If by capitalised, you mean 'CDH Proton Center', see wp:Move. Don't forget to wp:sign your posts.

                      Michael Guider

                      What is the problem with the ref system at the above article? It's the system I've always used and I can't see a problem with it.

                      Sardaka (talk) 12:01, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

                      @Sardaka: I am possibly particularly picky about references, having spent a lot of time doing them manually for ~2 years as an IP editor before registering and having WP:Reflinks (currently un-available) and other tools become accessible.
                      I have also seen the problems that bare URLs, for example, or simply insufficient information about the source, can cause. With just a title (and maybe author) it is often possible to re-locate and re-link to the source document, web-page, or news article. Or to find an alternative with the same information. With an ISBN, for example, it is fairly trivial to find/ re-find a source in a published book. Without enough data, if a good source is moved then, especially with BLPs, facts can become unverifiable. So even if true, an important event in a persons life, especially if 'controversial', may have to be removed from their page.
                      Compare the current refs #2 (formerly a bare URL) and #5, which I used cite templates on and added data to with Ref. #18, for example:
                      Sun-Herald, Sydney.
                      This ref. can be expanded simply and quickly:
                      Tim Barlass "Sex predator who killed Samantha Knight denied parole" May 18, 2014. Sun-Herald, Sydney
                      In my opinion, the original reference is insufficient. Why link the source newspaper's name to the information? Why not at least add the title of the source and link that to the source? Even better, show both!
                      • I have given #5, manually-no cite tools used, the 'full treatment' though most of the data was already there, eg.:

                      I found the information to expand and link this formerly 'unlinked' ref., purely from the title. I added the ISBN and link to Google books, now anyone on-line can see fairly easily that the source book exists, and can theoretically find a copy and confirm the information, (though it appears to be a fairly 'rare' book)
                      Ref. #18 at least has a title as part of the URL, making finding it again on-line easier, but this is not always the case. (Ref #2 for example only has a string of digits as an 'identifier'.) #18 also had the name of the newspaper source, but how old was it? When was it accessed?, who wrote it? All this information is, in my view, important from the point of of view of maintaining WP:Verifiability by ensuring that the source can be re-located, if 'moved'.
                      Another point to consider is that if you are expanding a page, you obviously have access to the source/s, and it is far, far easier for you to add its details than another editor having to first re-locate the (possibly moved or archived) source later, especially if it is not available on-line. --220 of 18:54, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

                      Army Men: The Game

                      Please help me.. How am I supposed to keep this article if every time I put work into it then it gets deleted. Most of the content on the Army Men series is copied word from word when it comes to the contents. Every game pretty much is that way to on here even without my involvement. It would be great to have more sources for using that are reliable. Yet there is very few out on the internet about the game. The only one's that I can even use have to be from a site that doesn't have a copyright symbol. Which would be the other wiki sites. If it was easy to make this article by finding reliable sources I can actually use. Then maybe I would be able to keep the article without deletion. However it's a old video game and most of the content about it is either gone from the internet or not able to be found. --JoshaGibby (talk) 06:06, 9 September 2014 (UTC)JoshaGibby

                      @JoshaGibby: Nothing on Misplaced Pages is really ever totally deleted. You can usually recover the text with the help of an Administrator.
                      You are able to use quotes from WP:reliable sources. Irrespective of the © symbol, you are able to use the basic information from other sites, but NOT the exact wording. That is WP:plagiarism and not allowed. You need to write it in your own words. Misplaced Pages is not regarded as a reliable source, so other Wikipedias can't be used as a reference, though the original sources may be useable. Any Wiki would not be regarded as a reliable source.
                      Perhaps the reason there was no existing article on Army Men: Video game was that there are few sources, or perhaps it is not WP:Notable enough for a stand-alone page, hence the Army Men page covering the whole series. A possible source would be gaming magazines, or newspaper coverage from the period. Coming from 1998, indeed there may be few on-line sources. --220 of 08:24, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

                      Hello brog, can you please let me know whats wrong with article? Since sources are clear and shows notability of person to be decent article, no matter if it was deleted before when sources were not quite enough to show notability. I've seen you have opened SP investigation, since one day some one will write an article about that person then will you again delete it? Maxiz7 (talk) 13:27, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

                      The Asif Leghari article (and it's many other titles) is pushing original research and the person writing it has been Banned from Misplaced Pages for pushing their unproven personal theories. And you are likely to be another one of the many (21-confirmed, 15-suspected) Sockpuppets that person has created to evade their ban, despite promising not to do so. See WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Princeneil/Archive
                      Any article that consists of Original research will be deleted, any biography about a non-notable person, or that doesn't demonstrate notability will also be deleted. Have a nice day. --220 of 13:57, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

                      Hi, you have tagged Mehar Singh (pilot) with peacock and tone tags. I think you missed checking the reference link I provided. The official website of Indian Air Force calls him the Legend of IAF - http://indianairforce.nic.in/show_page.php?pg_id=296 - please refer the link. I'm removing these tags, hope its fine. Vinod (talk) 17:04, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Vinod (talk) 17:04, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

                      @Vinodtiwari2608: Actually no, I think those tags should stay. (And the correct links areWP:Peacock and WP:Tone) The word "legend" is far from the only 'peacock' term used. As for 'tone' "A worthy life was thus cut short abruptly!", one example of many on the page, to me sounds 'fannish' and wp:POV rather than encyclopaedic. And it is un-cited, though it is a direct quote (which should be acknowledged!) of which is also ref № 4.
                      This seems to be a good source, if you need another one. And I note that this seems to be the source of the short poem at the end of the page. Such quotes must be acknowledged!

                      @Vinodtiwari2608: As far as I know, the copyright holder would have to be willing to place the content into the public domain, which seems unlikely. All I can suggest is reading up about Singh, and then writing his Misplaced Pages page in your own words. You have to avoid close paraphrasing, though you can quote from sources. Singh seem worthy of a page, just try not too be too laudatory about him, which some of the sources seem to be! --220 of 18:16, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

                      @Derek R Bullamore: I've got 'that' feeling again! . Some of those new source titles at Dlasthr look a little 'odd' though: "No Cookies"?? All seem to be 'The Daily Telegraph' sources.

                      The Telegraph has a weekly 'free article' limit Do we have a special template to add to the ref to indicate that, or is {{Subscription required}} the one to use? I also found {{link note}}(intended for external links) and {{link note|note=Weekly free article limit}} gives (Weekly free article limit), which seems correct.

                      Apparently this is called a 'metered paywall' and allows 5 free pages per week.
                      (Metered paywall-5 free articles a week) perhaps? But if you register, "then an additional 10 per week at the Herald Sun and 15 per week at The Daily Telegraph."

                      @110.20.234.69: You're welcome, though it only takes a few mouse clicks using a utility called Twinkle for the edit summary message. The other was a 'custom' written message, but I actually copied it from somewhere else I recently used it. (They weren't so happy to get it and just deleted it! )
                      The 2014 Sydney hostage crisis page is now Semi-protected due to numerous, repetitive 'un-constructive' edits, here, by one IP editor, here. They were blocked at that IP addresss, but started hopping to other IPs and continuing on. I see you did some decent work on the 'Reactions' and 'Evacuations' sections, sourced too.
                      You can still contribute to that page by checking it for typos, other errors, or looking for sources and mentioning such on the talk page. You can even double-check whether other editors edits are correct! Especially newer editors who may not be aware of policies like Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons (WP:BLP). That applies to things like naming the 'perpetrator'.

                      Thanks for that - it's really disappointing. When are the clamps likely to be taken off? I also worked on the transport section. I didn't think that just saying the person was known to police, with a reliable news source, would be problematic. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 10:50, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Not long. It was only a short protection, but I think it is likely to be quickly protected again for longer as I think the vandalism will start again. Not sure what you mean about the naming. WP policy requires that you have very reliable sources when dealing with wp:Biographies of living persons (WP:BLP), especially for 'controversil' information.--220 of 11:10, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

                      Actually, so far I've found that I don't get "notifications", just the orange bar when someone posts on my talk page. I don't see a red number against my user name, because I don't have one. Perhaps the social media style notifications don't work for IPs? I find it difficult enough to edit Misplaced Pages without being expected to know exactly how to work all the different bells and whistles (notifications, pings and talkbacks) that let me talk to someone. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 06:03, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

                      Yes 110.20.234.69 (talk) that would be the "Annoying Orange Bar", as I call it. At least it's hard to miss! I wasn't sure, but thought notifications wouldn't work for IPs. Takes time to learn "bells and whistles", but there are so many templates that you are likely to only learn (manually anyway) those you use frequently. (See WP:UTM) There are utilities like wp:Huggle, wp:AutoWikiBrowser and wp:Twinkle, which I use, that make many tasks a lot easier, but are only available to 'registered' users. I even learned a new trick from you, that talk-page reflist thingy {{reflist-talk}}, which I don't recall seeing before. 220 of 13:30, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Annoying it may be, in a "What Have I Done Wrong Now" kind of way, but it's the only way I can easily see who's talking to me. There are so many rules and so much special etiquette involved in editing Misplaced Pages, even in an uncommitted way. According to the 'notifications' page, the interface changes dramatically when you sign up to when you edit as an IP. :( The high level of assumed knowledge is even addressed on the criticism of Misplaced Pages article. I can't remember where I found the reflist talk template, but I hope it helps you. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
                      110.20.234.69 (talk) it certainly changes, and you get the ability to customise it a lot with 'Preferences', which IPs don't have any control of. Not sure about 'dramatically', as I find I don't notice when I have been 'automatically' logged out. A few 'tabs' disappear, but nothing dramatic. I have the standard 'skin' I think, so its not that apparent, but it is apparently possible make it look totally different, even screen colour I think.
                      I need some sleep, as that siege happened just as I was just going to bed (almost 2 days ago!) and I haven't had enough since so I'll be off-line for at least 6 hours (if I'm lucky!)

                      Hi 220, regarding this edit, you might be interested to know that User:Pigsonthewing is indeed the same person as Andy Mabbett. All the best, Wittylama 14:03, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

                      @Wittylama: You're not telling me a 'porker' are you? Thanks for that, I was slightly tempted to link it, there not being that many 'Andy Mabbetts' about, I imagine. (and most definitely the first Google search result, hell the first 20 plus!) Should he be linked on the WP-in-residence page then?
                      Dictionary of Sydney eh? Maybe you can confirm for me whether Arthur Stace (Mr Eternity) was born in Redfern-1885, or Balmain-1884? 220 of 19:42, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      • I don't think this or even is 'Pigsotw' though. --220 of 19:59, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Certainly true that neither of those images is the Andy I know - although he does have an excellent beard! The link between user:Pigsonthewing and Andy Mabbett (editor of a Ping Floyd fan magazine The Amazing Pudding), is that Pigs on the Wing is a Pink Floyd song :-) Up to you two to decide how the linking should go!
                      With regards to Arthur Stace, both the ADB and the DoS say he was born in Redfern in 1885, and the 1884-Balmain claim in the WP biography is uncited so I don't know where that claim comes from. Wittylama 20:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Indeed uncited! I think DoS used ADB as a source. I might have to drop an Email to ADB for more info! Maybe Trove has a newspaper source? See Misplaced Pages:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#Arthur Stace birthplace etc for 'dramahz' over the issue. --220 of 21:04, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

                      • I too have a hirsute chin (not so much on top, a bit like Johannes Brahms 'in mid-career') enjoy it while it lasts!)
                      • If you haven't checked out the pics I linked to ↑, see the whole series here.
                      • Before I de-linked that Mabbett link it was going to your WP:userpage! I'll leave it for now, and I was going to UzT (sleep) about 2.5 hours ago! Zzzzz ZzzzZzZz 220 of 22:34, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      @Wittylama: Ping Floyd fan magazine?, "Which ones Ping?" 220 of 22:34, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      oh, Ping Floyd? That was their earlier experimental phase - only real fans would know about it :-P :-P Wittylama 23:02, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Perhaps they foresaw the Internet 'Ping'. Or, maybe you were thinking of 'Pig' Floyd (aka, Pigs-on-the-wing Floyd' er... 'Mabbett Floyd'?). Now time for 'breakfast' (it's ≈ 14:45 local), and then time to 'start Christmas shopping! 220 of 03:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

                      Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aindra Dasa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shyamasundara. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

                      A barnstar for you!

                      U Welcome and follow up! Heads up on that. —Sadat (Masssly)TalkCEmail10:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
                      @Masssly: Thanks for the barnstar. I gather this is in relation to those unsourced Indian village pages that certain new editors are edit warring over? I've left a message on the India noticeboard about them here. (One complicated sig you've got there! )--220 of 11:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
                      Certainly, happy editing & happy new year. And here goes my sig again :) —Sadat (Masssly)TalkCEmail11:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

                      Article tagged for Notability

                      I am a new contributor to Misplaced Pages and just read this article http://searchengineland.com/open-letter-to-wikipedia-editors-yes-matt-cutts-is-notable-10216 and it seems that Misplaced Pages is not really following its own guidelines. Another example in this article - https://en.wikipedia.org/Rahul_Mewawalla You tagged the article for "notability." As a test, I used Wiki's notability guidelines and ran some tests - the subject has been featured in both Wall Street Journal and CNN, not to mention Forbes, FastCompany, TechCrunch, Harvard Business Review etc. I also did a Google News search and the subject comes up in over 20 publications and also ran a number of different other wikipedia notability guidelines tests that the subject fulfilled. So I'd request you to please do the same and see if you may change your judgement. If not, then please go ahead and lets just delete article per speedy deletion.

                      Please check back at the discussion of Polaroid Kiss on BLPN

                      Would you please weigh in again at the above discussion. It has become even more of a wall of text. I thought we had reached a consensus on the matter but it seems not. JBH (talk) 20:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
