Somehow, I doubt we'll GET anything official. A/K seem to be AWOL and of course I don't have any contact with Bob...

Seems they just took the easy way out.

Sgt_Nick_Fury Posted: 17 Sep 2006 20:04

I have to say I'm more then a little bit annoyed that there isn't anything official.....I mean I've bought the T-shirts, and Bumper stickers, and while I haven't been able to make it to any PW events as they are never CLOSE to my area, or work schedule.......I really have tried to support PW from the beginning, I think it would be at least nice to know what happened, and get a statement.

NEW FORUM at ....Fighting The Left.com NEW FORUM at ....Fighting The Left.com Until PW's site comes back up you can all use Fighting the Left.com

10/5/2006

Where: Uniion Square, New York, NY

Leader: Rct ddwnyc (New York City)

Status: Failure

Description:

Depending on how many people show up, I'll be there. The morons from "The World Can't Wait" are going to be yelling about everything Bush does. Lets be there to show these people that there is another side. They will be marching to Union Square. I figure that's a great time to meet up. I'll try to post or update later for more information on this event.

This is cancelled due to lack of PW's in attendence on this date.

Thanks Ex-Warrior!

Hey NBGPWS

I know you must be upset by the happenings on the ACLU page. What can I say? I cant blame you? However, now is the time to let the dust settle. Further antagonism on the talk page can only lead more conflict. We further our own goals by acting in a civil and polite manner. From now on, lets try to respond to commentary and not create our own. I think this will help us in trying to improve the ACLU page. Stepping back helps us prevail in the long run. We should prove beyond all doubt that we are the responsible party in this matter. Jasper23 03:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I will see how Scribner responds. He already refused to address the bogus 9.5 Million dollar claim, but added it back into the article. He also keeps repeatedly deleting my well sourced and documented 'religious liberties' section. He also has accused you and me of being sock puppets. I'm having a hard time AGF in light of his actions. NBGPWS 03:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I totally understand. I would be mad too but I came in right in the middle of your edit war. Lets be respectfull civil and kind, but lets also never give up. Eventually people will take notice and we will be able to make the article less pov. In wikipedia, how you say something is more important than what you say and as important as what you do. Let the other editors be mad at themselves. Also, imagine if I was your sockpuppet. This would be the weirdest conversation. Jasper23 03:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I only got here a couple days ago. Scribner immediately started any 'war' that exists. He thinks he owns this article. NBGPWS 03:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I understand. Let's let it go for tonight. We can take another stab at it tomorrow. What do you think? Jasper23 04:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I won't edit anymore tonight unless he reverts the article. I'll won't add to the talk page except to counter any false charges either. Hopefully, he'll cool down, especially after he finds out that his paranoia about sockpuppety was unfounded. Nite! NBGPWS 04:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
That is exactly what I plan on doing. Yeah, that sockpuppet thing is pretty funny. Jasper23 04:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Bush as Hitler

You have recently re-created the article Bush as Hitler, which was deleted in accordance with Misplaced Pages's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a deletion review. --ArmadilloFromHell 04:57, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Ooops too late! It's a valid topic. Check the link for dozens of citable refs. NBGPWS 04:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Philip Gronowski 05:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It was unintentional. People were deleting the article without notifying me. I'll take it to the deletion board before recreating it again though! NBGPWS 05:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Please undelete my article! Thanks NBGPWS 08:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

How about having an article 'people compared to hitler' as its hardly an allegation unique to Pres. Bush. Damburger 17:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

People compared to hitler would get fast deleted for the same reason that Bush as Hitler would, unsubstantiated opinions and flaimbait. Any article for "people compared to hitler" should quite simply re-direct to hitler himself. Piuro 19:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. I think Hitler comparisons are notable enough for mention, but too trivial for the article on Hitler himself (I have the feeling theres some more important issues that should focus on...). It wouldn't be partisan because a large portion of the people compared to Hitler have also compared their political opponents to Hitler. Its a classic cheapshot, which should also be mentioned. Damburger 00:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Like you said, it is a classic cheapshot. Almost nobody who is compared to Hitler warrants the comparison, and even then, it is nothing more then unsubstantiated opinion. Now were someone a neo-nazi on a crusade against the Jews, then I might see a reason for a mention in a comparison article, but if we're going to break wiki down to covering articles of who petty insults are directed at then things are just going to get silly. Piuro 02:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Petty doesn't mean not notable. When Silvio Berlusconi compared a German MEP to a concentration camp guard, it was extrordinarily petty - but it was also newsworthy throughout Europe and mentioned in wikipedia (I'm actually surprised at how little coverage it got compared to something like Nipplegate, but I guess thats to do with how many Americans we have here). Damburger 13:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

DRV

The consensus on DRV supports the actions of me and other administrators who deleted your article. Is there anything else we can assist with? I'd be more than willing to help explain further if there's still any confusion about the 'why' of it. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 21:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes - Please suggest a neutral way of naming this important topic so it doesn't get deleted. As the link proves, it's a documented wordwide phenomenon. After more thought, I agree it shouldn't just be limited to Bush. Some on the right are fond of calling Senator Clinton "Hitlery", and some compared President Clinton to Hitler.

User:GabrielF/911TMCruft

I'd strongly encourage you to take your thoughts to WP:MFD instead of edit warring; probably better for everyone involved. Luna Santin 04:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I've blocked you for 24 hours, for 3rr violations related to this dispute. Please reconsider disruptive, WP:POINT sorts of things in the future. Thanks. Luna Santin 07:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

OK - no problem. Please have some admins check into the deletionists schemes. I'd willingly accept a 30 day block if we could weed out these malicious POV pushers! NBGPWS 07:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

That's part of why I've only blocked you for 24 hours. If you find a healthier way to seek resolution, good; if not, bad. Please try a less disruptive path. WP:AN and WP:MFD both come to mind. Luna Santin 08:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
In case you don't know, you've been listed on WP:AN/3RR for over an hour. I would consider being more civil; it seems to mention on WP:3RR that although users do not own their own subpages, their user space is "theirs" for project-related purposes only, and users can thus decide against other users over what content can go in their own user space. Tuxide 07:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Didn't see it till too late. Thanks though. NBGPWS 07:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

24 hour block

On the one hand, this is a 3RR violation, and probably a WP:POINT problem. When I suggested a more productive means of resolving the dispute -- namely, MfD -- I was ignored in favor of continued disruption. On the other hand, it's out of article space. I'm not opposed if anyone cares to review this, but for the time being I've given NBGPWS a 24 hour block for continued disruption and edit warring. Luna Santin 07:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Squad History What an outrageous misuse of the AfD process! Deleting articles 'for fun'. NBGPWS 05:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The 911cruft page is a PUBLIC page, and I cited WP saying so.

in general, if you have material that you do not wish for others to edit, or that is otherwise inappropriate for Misplaced Pages, it should be placed on a personal web site.

They are just upset that their schemes have been made public, and deleted anything I posted to that page. Tbeatty edits my comments ALL the time. Take a look at HIS history! tbeatty's history These POV deletionists are RUNNING rampant over Wiki, and you better get a handle on them. You can ban me for all I care. Conservative POV pushers are making this place nearly worthless to research ANYTHING related to American politics, and then they actually even go back to their far right-wing sites and BRAG about how they 'got over' on the Commies who run Misplaced Pages. NBGPWS 07:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

If you want to propose far left-wing articles for deletion, on that page, go ahead. Porn (or sexual positions) just aren't relevant. (Oh, and I would have given you 48 hours for 3RR, WP:POINT, and WP:CIVIL.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
The proper venue for discussion is WP:MfD, not disrupting the page. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Derex!

This is a dispute over a user page, and an extremely controversial one at that. It co-ordinates editors with a particular outlook for AFD snowballs, which I can't differentiate from vote-stacking. The whole situation is really ironic, since the usual snowball swarm has now turned into a revert swarm of someone posting an article that you'd think they'd want to AFD. Anyway's I'm not even sure 3RR applies outside of article space, much less on a subpage of user talk page. At the least, Tbeatty's call for a LONG ban is inappropriate, unless he is referring to himself, in which case I fully endorse it. This is really a matter to be settled at RFC or at the Village Pump. Derex 05:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Bud! I'm gonna give you one of those cool gold star things once my ban expires! The deletionists are SURE upset that their evil schemes are being brought to light. Good work on your behalf too! You might take a look in the Protest Warrior article archives, where they BRAG about 'getting over' on the 'Commies' who run and admin Wiki! The Cons will all be crying on Nov 8! They're so sure that they're going to lose power that they're already crying like little girls! NBGPWS 07:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Of course, I'd be glad for a change in the real world; the great majority of people would. However, I'd be just as apalled and opposed by this crowd's techniques no matter what their agenda was. In fact, I've voted to delete several of the articles they post because many really don't belong. Just goes to show that the page is completely unecessary, since clearly bad articles get the boot regardless. I suspect that GabrielF started that page in relatively good faith for his own use. However, someone (Morton I think) has advertised it to several of his political compatriots, hence the recent evolution into a conservative AFD noticeboard. Regardless, whatever policy may be, it's wrong to have these private noticeboards. And despite their claims, it was private, because notice was passed around on user talk pages instead of publicly announced. How the hell is anyone supposed to know about a user sub-page serving as a noticeboard? Their claims that it's harmless since anyone could read it are hollow because you can't read what you don't know about. I hate this sort of gamesmanship. I'd like to see a small yellow-box template at the top of every AFD listed there making notice of that. Another one for every AFD that gets votestacked. They shouldn't object, since they claim it's all aboveboard. Derex 08:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
What votestacking? Telling people about an ongoing AFD is not stacking anything. Rogue 9 19:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh really? Informing people of an AFD cannot stack anything? Might I direct you to what the official Misplaced Pages position actually is? WP:SPAM#Votestacking. Users have been banned for mass contacts about votes before. Derex 23:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I'm well aware that the official Misplaced Pages position is unmitigated bullshit; I didn't need that pointed out. AfD procedures are supposedly an open debate; closing the proceedings to people who are interested in the article in question just because someone else happened to tell them isn't very conducive to that. As it stands, AfD is already heavily biased towards deletion because there is a not insignificant number of people who hang around AfD all day looking to off someone else's work rather than helping with articles. Rogue 9 07:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, we at least agree on the last sentence. As to the rest, no, telling people is not in itself votestacking. Doing so in any sort of selective manner is. For example, it's perfectly fine to notify all past commentors on an article talk page, but not only those who dislike the article. Or, to tell past AFD participants, but not only those who voted delete, as the chap I referred to has a habit of doing. Derex 07:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Here's an example from one chap heavily involved in the noticeboard in question. Found 50 people with conservative user boxes and and informed just those people, based on that criterion. Is that not votestacking? That's exactly why Jimbo wanted userboxes gone. Interestingly, one Morton devonshire, well-known at the page in question, attempted to delete that Votestacking of policy the day after an admin referenced his actions under it. Derex 20:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
You might also take note of the arbcom response to a request for clarification on this issue "If what is happening is getting everyone upset then it is a problem. Often the dividing line is crossed when you are contacting a number of people who do not ordinarily edit the disputed article". People are upset, a dividing line has been crossed. Derex 21:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Also see "Don't attempt to sway consensus by encouraging participation in a discussion by people that you already know have a certain point of view," from same policy. Also to the remarks, "precisely" isn't really a very helpful comment, particularly when a shorter equivalent of the dittoed comment was "you're wrong". Derex 21:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't recall being contacted. I get my information the same place you do. Centralyzing information is what Misplaced Pages is all about. --Tbeatty 00:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review#Andy_Stephenson

You need to seriously tone down your personal attacks and hysteria on the Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review#Andy_Stephenson. WP:NPA is policy, and you could be blocked if you continue. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Calling my contributions 'hysteria' is perjorative and incvil (I'll let it slide this time) - but perhaps more importantly - if you had been paying attention, or read the voluminous postings above - you might have figured out I WAS blocked - for 24 hours! Cheers. NBGPWS 06:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I erased your comment about relisting in the course of erasing my own (without which it makes no sense). I hope you don't mind. I decided that rather than truckle to ridiculous off-point arguments, I ought to just say what's right. I had been trying to refactor for a while but kept getting edit conflicted. Strange how if you disagree with someone, then you somehow forfeit all rights (in their minds). Derex 20:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes that's fine. I had to figure out who did it though. It's amazing how some of the people I'm dealing with just delete or refactor other people's comments. One of 'em even crossed out all of Ben Burches comments on the Stepehnson DRV then kept reverting me when I tried to restore them, leaving MY name there to try and have people believe that *I* had crossed out Ben's comments! NBGPWS 20:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm dealing with the same thing right now with Zer0. I decided to amend my comments to reflect my considered views (see above). He persists on reverting. This business of editing and "re-factoring" other people's commentary is just about the most obnoxious thing I've seen here. It's one thing to elide a curse word or insult with an asterisk, but this crowd feels free to completely change things. Fascinating how the acolytes' manners mirror the prophet's. Derex 22:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I had NO idea that Nuclear was ZerO till just now! Zero's Past Behavior NBGPWS 22:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
This is the second time you've referred to N as a NeoCon, which confuses me as I'd say he's pretty plainly not a neo-conservative. I'd say that arbcom has already assessed Z's behavior, without help from N. My brief experience with Z has been entirely congruent with that assessment. As to removing remarks; it's well-established wikipedia practice that editors can cleanup their own talk pages as they see fit. Derex 02:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Do you know him from elsewhere (online pseudonym)? I think you actually can delete warning templates; the diffs are enough to show you've been warned. Z has deleted 3 or 4 today alone. I might add that I _really_ dislike people involved in a conflict adding templates themselves. It just seems, well, prickish & more intended to bait than to inform. You ought to just say your piece in plain words if you're involved. Derex 02:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • MY BEHAVIOR??? You want me to post some saved text from the Protest Warrior Infiltration Crew where you all trolled forums trying to disrupt them, including a BLACK NATIONALIST FORUM where white PWIC members posing as Blacks posted EXTREMELY insensitive race baiting taunts???? HUH? NBGPWS 03:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
RB knows me orginally from the forums of the obscure 'counter protest organization' named Protest Warrior, where he posted as Wrathbone. I came into contact with a group of 4 or 5 of these pro-war 'warriors' at a antiwar protest a few years ago. Their MO is to try and incite antiwar protestors, using provocations and insults, into violence, and capture it on video. (think college republican version of the Westboro Baptist Church) I joined their forum after seeing their signs, and reading their outrageous lies about 12,000 members and active chapters in every state ( RB admitted not long ago that he would likely be the ONLY protest warrior in all of NYC/ NJ at one of their smoke-and-mirror 'operations') made it my mission to expose the lies, and found other kindred souls who they pissed off to no end like Rev Tyler Protest Warrior Exposed Sadly, the founders abondoned the dying org built on hype, possibly because they failed to turn it into a 'cash cow', closed down their forum and now the 'warriors', and their conservative supporters are bitter.

Let Wiki get overun by Conservative axe grinders who go back to their far-right wing boards and BRAG about 'getting over' on the 'Commies' who run Wiki - since that what your actions are, in essence, helping to accomplish. It doesn't hurt ME one bit, just Wiki. NBGPWS 05:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll continue my campaign here

I will be bringing Tbeatty, and another's BLP actions up for Arbcom review. They are on the BLP patrol, but many feel they apply BLP to try and exclude valid sourced criticism. They apply BLP whole classes of people, orgs and even payal! Tbeatty argued that an article which mentioned problems with Paypal fundraising violated the BLP of PayPal!!! VIOLATED THE BLP OF PAYPAL! LOL ! He slapped a BIO template on the political org Protest Warrior. Some feel that these actions are done VERY knowingly, and with a plan and purpose not in accordance with Wikitruth, or whatever it's called. I thought it wise to ask Tbeatty to explain his actions first. He said he had violated WP POINT in the past, when he introduced a list of Suspicious Deaths Associated with President Bill Clinton, admittingly violating Pres Clinton's BLP rights. More documentation coming to the proper venue soon.

You will find that there was good reason for my outrage, and might trim down that ban to 24 hours, then instigate a formal investigation into Tbeatty's intentional misuse of BLP, while acting as a self-appointed member of the BLP patrol, who insists he has 'special powers' as such !!!

Thanks - I'll post the links here. Nothing enflames me more than editors misusing WP to grind their political axes. NBGPWS 05:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Deleted tbeatty's comments as an attempt to bait me further. Please ask him not to post here too, Mongo. Thanks NBGPWS 05:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I have instructed him to not post his comments here again. If you are planning to file an Request for comment ofr a case with arbcom, I will unblock you, so long as those pages and your own userspace are the only ones you will promise to edit on.--MONGO 05:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, but I don't have that much self control, and would probably get axed for good! LOL ! NBGPWS 06:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  1. incident one - Tbeatty, a self-appointed BLP patrol member who presumably must know BLP, argues that BLP should apply to unnamed 'conservative bloggers' on an unnamed site, and that BLP should apply to PayPal! incident one (I even have better documentation of that coming)
"I asked earlier, I'll ask again: how is it possible for this article to violate WP:BLP when it's not a biography of a living person? VoiceOfReason 03:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)"
"The good people who were defamed at PayPal and the conservative bloggers accused of contributing to Andy's death are, indeed, living people. --Tbeatty 05:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)"
incident 1b
NOTE TO DEREX - THIS HAPPENED ON OCT 24, 2006, NOT MONTHS AGO NBGPWS 07:32, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm not agreeing with what he did there. However, I'm much more concerned about _adding_ violations than a probable misuse of policy to remove something. The former makes me outraged, the latter just indignant. .... Keep in mind don't let yourself be baited. I did a few days ago, very stressed, and got myself blocked for the first time. Really annoyed me that I gave my antagonist the satisfaction. Derex 09:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, well I took that malicious act REAL personally cause I 'knew' Andy Stephenson (albeit only via email exchanges) so the Wiki RepubliCon Cabal who deleted his entry SOLELY because it reflected VERY badly on the (mostly) Conservatives bloggers, Freepers and Scamdy Posters who HOUNDED Andy Stephenson, even on his DEATH BED, and even SENT Conservative MOLES posing as 'investigators' INTO the HOSPITAL, now want to ERASE ALL EVIDENCE of their EVIL, possibly LIFE shortening MISDEEDS from Misplaced Pages. They won't like the new 'Hunting of Andy Stephenson' piece due to be released (by people who can document every exclamation mark and comma) soon. Not one bit! It NAMES NAMES, and websites too! (insult to Repubs refactored by NBG) NBGPWS 10:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I saw mention of that something about that "hounding" in this nascent article. I would imagine that the deletion would get overturned because there clearly wasn't a "consensus". However, if there is indeed new stuff coming out on him, then that makes it easy to re-create the article. Ordinarily, there would be a prejudice against that, but not if the objection was notability, and there is new evidence of it. Patience. It is customary here to pay more attention to civility than to substance, so keep it civil and your substance will be much harder to dismiss. Derex 21:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
That editor is living in an alternate reality in another galaxy far far away from Galaxy Wiki Reality if he thinks he will be able to enter 'notable' events about what may or may not have happened on CU, unless they have been documented by WP RS V NP MSM sources. I worked with the editors and mods on the Protest Warrior article for months, and every claim they made regarding events and forum 'happenings' was rejected unless it was reported in the MSM Media. One of their most 'famous' operations was one high school kid posting racist islamophobic signs (a PW Trademark) in the class rooms and halls of his high school. This was in the article for ages. The kid submitted his sorry account to tons of far-right wing blogs, and because it had been posted on David Horowitz's blog, the PW's argued that this was a MSM documentation of the event. When an Wiki mod looked at it, and saw that it was merely a reposting of the kid's childish screed word-for-word, it was axed too. I'll keep an eye on that page, thanks. NBGPWS 22:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
This was EGREGIOUS INTENTIONAL VIOLATION of WP for outright political axegrinding, using a BOGUS BLP defense by a self-appointed BLP 'expert' ! NBGPWS 06:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
That entire DRV is a mess...and I try (ususally) to stay out of messes. What I will do is request that a neutral admin take over examining your links by posting at AN/I.--MONGO 06:29, 25October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, I'm sorry that I'm a hot-head at times, but truth and justice are more important to me than faux civility with people whose unconsionable actions I abhor! I've been called part of the 'angry left'. There might be just a smidgen of truth to that ! LOL ! NBGPWS 06:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for posting to the ANI Mongo. Note to any other admin visiting that I have MANY more documented cases of Tbeatty violating BLP, including him slapping a BIO template on the political organization Protest Warrior and claiming that BLP applied to the whole organization (which he supports) but it will take me 12 - 24 hours to compile them all. NBGPWS 06:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I have reduced your block to expire in 48 hours. A resumption of incivil behavior may lead to an extended block.--MONGO 06:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reprieve Mongo. I think I have this thing figured out. I've been studying the masters. They just edit, put as brief a description as possible in the edit summary and engage others in discussion infrequently and then in a perfunctory manner . I'll give it a try. NBGPWS 10:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Keep cool. I've poked around, and can see that some people are itching to get you booted. Don't take bait, or fall for a 3RR set-up. And please, don't yield to the temptation to add your own spin when others do so. It's much more satisfying and productive just to neutralize theirs. Not meaning to be preachy here, but it's an easy pitfall when emotions are high and you're dealing with a POV-pusher. Good luck. Derex 12:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I saw that. They're wrong about my name! It now stands for Nothing But Goodness, Protest Warrior (and others) Spincontrol. If PW's cofounders and members (many who are active here) had been honest about the size and efficacy of the group, they wouldn't have had so many problems. The cofounders repeatedly counted every person who ever signed up (including the 33% sockpuppets) on their (long disbanded) message boards as 'active members' of the ORGANIZATION Protest Warrior. They fed these fabricated falsehoods to the gullible right wing press like David Horowitz and Human Events. The PW's started repeating them here. Look at the archives of PW, For many moons it was nothing but spin. One prominent PW who is active here, repeatedly claimed on Wiki that PW had '12,000' members. They claimed they had active 'chapters' in every state. TOTAL LIES. One national chapter leader who was actually honest admitted (on PW) that he HOPED that 100 people TOTAL, spread out accross 5 cities, would participate in their most important event. The PW's are VERY bitter after their cofounders gave up on the org after one of them was attacked by Freepers over a year ago. http://www.rocknrev.com/pw/pwned.html They were the subject of derision all over the internets for months after this, and it totally took the wind out of the cofounders sails. They were never again active politically with the org, or on the forums. They pulled the plug on the forums weeks ago, but somehow the PW's never got the message. I did sign up to concentrate on PW, but now enjoy editing many other subjects and topics too. I wish the PW's well. They're going to be VERY upset and possibly vindictive come Nov 8! I'll probably take a Wiki break for a week after the elections to let the Cons cool down. Cheers. NBGPWS 19:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
You know that PW / Freep thing is sourceable? You clearly can't get rocknrev in, but the San Francisco Chronicle should do the trick. Derex 22:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Sure it is. It's in the PW article too. In past events. They always delete links to Rocknrev. Too much documentation on their evil deeds there for them. I don't even try to add them anymore. I just found another gem to add where Kfir claims that the real agenda of the Anti War Movement is to promote Communism! He's still fighting the Cold War. Wow... just wow. LOL NBGPWS 00:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Provocations and Incivility by Ruthfulbarbarity who was advised NOT to post here by MONGO deleted in accordance with WP. (Wiki needs the equivalent of the Ignore feature) NBGPWS 04:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

You should think twice about baiting a blocked editor, particularly over the blocking admin's warning on the matter. NBGPWS has already made clear to you that he doesn't want you on his page. Derex 02:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Derex - I could post his quote where he promised a Mod he would NEVER post on this page again. That was weeks, and dozens of broken promises ago. Truly man of his word, like so many of his political ilk. NBGPWS 04:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh really? Well here's your edit which my remark followed. I see some pretty obvious baiting there. I do not see anything else at all, no discussion of facts or the article at all. Derex 05:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

New section

Mongo:

I just read this post of yours:

"I reduced his block and he should be unblocked in a day and a half from now. There is a method to my madness".--MONGO 20:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Care to elaborate? Thanks NBGPWS 04:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

My hope is that faced with a long block, that it can be used as a method to inspire you to follow our guidelines better.--MONGO 06:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying that NBGPWS 06:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Derex,

You, or Edison or Ben Burch might want to take a look at the latest additions to the Democratic Underground article by Jimxchue, about the Secret Service contacting them. I know from many months working on the PW article, that unless and until this gets WP RS V coverage, it's totally against WP to include this info. I used to post about significant events described on the PW forums, (one of their Chapter leaders used to dress as a Suicide Bomber with a fake bomb vest, until he was detained by the SFPD Bomb Squad!) and they got axed every time. Had several mods explain WP about blogs and forum postings in detail. Jimxchue knows better than that.

  • Interesting. So you don't consider Skinner to be either reliable or verifiable as a source? I believe I was very fair with my addition and I applaud Skinner for protecting people's privacy, even if he doesn't agree with them. He got something right (for once). I'm taking that part back. In reading DU's privacy policy, it seems that Skinner normally would have no problem handing over people's information to others (who are probably willing to pay money for the information). His tune obviously changed when it came to the Bush Administration, however. Jinxmchue 05:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm absolutely sure that what he says is 100% true, and is probably even notable enough that some other source will cover it, at what time it will be inclusionable. At the moment, coming only from DU, an online forum, it's not acceptable under WP RS V, and I think you should know that. NBGPWS 06:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Jinx:

"Self-published sources, as the WP:RS page you linked to says, are not acceptable unless they are, for example, a professor publishing an article about whatever subject. In this case, it can be externally linked but not cited as an assertion of fact". --Kuzaar-T-C- 17:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC) See

NBGPWS 06:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Bulletin boards, wikis and posts to Usenet

Posts to bulletin boards, Usenet, and wikis, or messages left on blogs, should not be used as sources. This is in part because we have no way of knowing who has written or posted them, and in part because there is no editorial oversight or third-party fact-checking. In addition, in the case of wikis, the content of an article could change at any moment. For exceptions, see the section on self-published sources.

The same reasoning applies to trivia on sites such as IMDb or FunTrivia.com, where the degree of editorial oversight is unknown. However, film credits on IMDb are provided directly by the Writer's Guild of America and can be considered reliable.

Self Published Sources

Come on Jinx, you really didn't think you could get that in did you? NBGPWS 06:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Posted on another user's talk. Beatty agrees with me : "DU and the Secret Service - This is a primary source and probably should be removed." but then complains that my comment above is a violation! "Latest violation of policy. Let me know if you file ArbCom or RfC. It's not hard finding evidence."--Tbeatty 08:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Wow .. just wow.

re The PW Article and CWC's last edits

Re: (2) Re numbers at RNC 2004: MTV quotes Alfia as saying "there's 200 of us" but has nothing else about how many were there at the time, so I went with 200.

The MTV link says 75, and this is actually a very well sourced and documented article. It lists names, hometowns, ages, etc. Secondary reporting sources will ALWAYS take precedent over a 'claim' by a primary source. Remember, Kfir is the person who claimed that PW had 12,000 active members!!!(up from 7200 at the RNC) Cheers

NBGPWS 00:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

CWC's Funny! Kfir was quoted as claiming 'there's 200 of us' at the exact same event where the reporter counted 'roughly' 75. Whose claim do you think is more accurate? I KNOW whose claim gets precedent under WP, and it's the indepedent non-involved third party reporting source. 75
