Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 14:18, 17 October 2006

NOTE: I frequently do new pages patrol. If you have come here to debate an article I have nominated for speedy deletion, please take the time to review the speedy deletion criteria policy and attempt to improve the article. If you are new to Misplaced Pages, please take the time to review WP:WELCOME. Review of the relevent policies will help everyone in building the encyclopedia. Thanks!

Username Warning

Per WP:USERNAME and WP:SIG, obfuscation of your actual username in signatures is discouraged. An admin who hides behind a nickname lacks accountability; it would be difficult to find you on the administrator's list. Please change it soon or request WP:CHU.

My signature is fine the way it is. Thanks and happy editing! Orane (talk • cont.) 06:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

First of all, yes. WP:Sig points out that it may be seen as disruptive. The operative word is may be. The rule is not set in stone. It does not say, "you must change your sig if it doesnt match your username." I've had this sig since I became an Admin over a year ago. Its rare that you'll find that sigs and usernames are complete matches. If someone wants to look me up on Admin list, then they should come to my userpage first and use that name. It's that simple. I'm not hiding, and I regret that you feel that I am. There are other, far more profound problems plaguing Misplaced Pages nowadays. I doub't my sig will ruin the encyclopedia.

Now if you will excuse me, I have Bio and Soci tests to study for. Orane (talk • cont.) 16:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Please, don't let Misplaced Pages get in the way of your studies. —Malber (talk • contribs) 18:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I wont. Orane (talk • cont.) 19:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

May I remind you too, since you are so assiduously devoted to upholding rules and regulations, that you are not allowed to single-handedly institute a policy, especially one that has no consensus with the community. I am referring to your addition of "For reasons of accountability, administrators should never obfuscate their username in their signature" to WP:Username. This opinion is one that only you share. Please do not force your principles and beliefs on others. Also, please discuss proposed changes on project talkpages or other appropriate places. Thank you :D! Orane (talk • cont.) 03:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, why are you doing all of this (, , , )? Trying to prove a point are we? Well, BE CAREFUL. Orane (talk • cont.) 14:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

"And don't you have some studying to do rather than track down all my diffs?" Oh touché :D. Anyway, werent you the one who was at RFA a few days ago? By the looks of things, you aren't planning on returning any time soon. 'Cause with ur behaviour... Orane (talk • cont.) 19:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Well I never! <cry>I'm shocked and deeply saddened that you'd think that I opposed your RFA because of a grudge!</cry> Please. I have moved on from the "We Belong Together" farce. I'm now getting approval for my writing from the editorial team at the newspaper at UofT. I certainly don't need your approval. And I can see that the community was right to deny your promotion — at least the process still works (for the most part). Hope to see you at FAC soon— that should be fun ;-). Now again, if you'll excuse me, I have some tests to fail. Orane (talk • cont.) 20:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

<wink>Well to be honest, I don't quite know how I became an Admin either.</wink> But I am one, and no one's complaining, so.... Orane (talk • cont.) 22:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, at least it's some kind of victory:P. Orane (talk • cont.) 23:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah, Courtni and Cruz both say hi too. They hope you don't take your RFA failure too hard. They also want you to know that there are other areas on Misplaced Pages where you can lend a hand. For example, some Admins (like Journalist —or is it Orane?) arent using their usernames as signatures, and it may bring Misplaced Pages to ruin! Maybe you should look into that! Orane (talk • cont.) 01:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I was just gonna remind you remember to sign your post. Good job. You earn your first star! Template:Rating-5. Orane (talk • cont.) 01:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

"How many socks and meatpuppets did you have to use for your second?" You know, I wasn't counting! Anyway, anything I did worked. Maybe I can help you come up with strategies for your second attempt. Orane (talk • cont.) 01:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know which. Surprise me :D. Orane (talk • cont.) 01:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

By the way...

Wikistalking

Please stop wikistalking me. It's rather disturbing. —Malber (talk • contribs) 01:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Plus you may want to discuss things before deleting them. Actions like that have brought down better admins. —Malber (talk • contribs) 01:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

First, I am not stalking you. You are the one who keep speaking to me, so I reply on your talkpage. Secondly, the page that I deleted fit the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have a problem, then you know where to go.

And is there a reason that you keep making new headings for one continuous discussion? Is your aim to draw attention and paint a good picture for yourself. Well, no one is gonna buy it. Orane (talk • cont.) 04:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

"Actions like that have brought down better admins." Is that a threat? Orane (talk • cont.) 04:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Ignore him, Orane. Malber does not show a nice understanding of Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. You will only end up replying to his pointless arguments. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick 10:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA questions

Asking about their view on IAR and WP:SNOW are tough. My best answer is relating it to how policy pages get rewritten constantly. But I thought up a tougher one, "What is your opinion and view of the websites wikipediareview.com and wikitruth.info that are critical of Misplaced Pages?" Anomo 21:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Stalking

Hi, I've seen some signs of you possibly stalking User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington recently, and would just want to remind you that wikistalking is not good etiquette. – Elisson • T • C • 14:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
