We've had a problem with an editor using multiple IPs and usernames using those identities to abuse consensus. Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Socks of Shran/CantStandYa. Rather than blocking the IP addresses an ArbCom member sugested it'd be better to sprotect the articles that he edits. The intent is to get him to stick with one identity. It's not an ideal soultion, but the best I know of. We should keep the semi-protection on for only short times, but hopefully it'll help. -Will Beback 17:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rationales to impeach George W. Bush (2nd nomination)

You are invited to vote at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rationales to impeach George W. Bush (2nd nomination). All this is is ramblings/blog/rants about Bush. Not encyclopedic, should've been deleted long ago. Happy editing! Morton devonshire 21:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

MEChA logo

I think the one Bfraga uploaded (and that currently appears on the article) is fine, although one common aspect that is missing is the three vertical stripes on either side of the águila. If I remember correctly, they are green, red, and blue, in that order, to symbolize both Mexico and the United States. I remember reading about this somewhere. But failing a new image, the current one is acceptable.--Rockero 15:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

naming immigrants

If you have a strong view on the subject please read and then change or comment on the proposals and arguments at Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (immigration). Please don´t revert to an alleged 'standard' which does not exist while neglecting to contribute to the creation of such a standard. Kalkin 23:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Re Plyler v. Doe, there was a revert war a while back on the issue of "illegal" vs. "undocumented" immigrants. It seemed to die down after the June 26 edits. I'm concerned that your most recent work may open up old wounds. Please check Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (immigration). A simple appeal to the AP style book, without regard for the larger overall discussion, doesn't seem appropriate here. Richwales 18:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks much for your contribution to the standards debate. I responded there yesterday - forgot to leave a note on your talk page, making up for it now. (Don't get misled by this. I will not be checking Misplaced Pages more than twice a week for another month at least.) Kalkin 23:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Violation of 3RR rule

You are either dangerously close or have violated the 3RR rule on the Reconquista article. Please be aware of it. This is just a warning.Mosquito-001 12:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Note to all who might view this: I never was even close to commiting the above violation, and the record reflects that. TheKaplan 04:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:American liberals

  • Looking on your userpage I see that you are somewhat conservative in your views. Even though there is a category labeling "American conservatives", the category labeling "American liberals" is up for deletion. This is obviously by liberals who don't want the bias pov of liberal celebrities and public figures to be known. So they don't want them categorized as what they are...liberals. I'm asking you to go to "Category:American liberals" follow the link to the nomination page and please vote to keep the category. -- AmeriCan 18:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hezbollah Userbox

Hello, would you kindly remove your Hezbollah Userbox. There have been discussions about tsuch a userbox. is a link to such a discussion. If you choose not to remove it, I will kindly assist you in such an action. Thanks for your help. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

On a random note, I just noticed this ("And I probably would have cleaned this one out with all the other superfluous ones, but since someone tried to remove it"). above the userbox. It appears as though the only reason you have left the box there is to Make a point, which is not a good idea. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
