Misplaced Pages

About KillerChihuahua

Friends, Thinkers, and (more or less) Reality oriented lifeforms, lend me thine ears! Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, our country brought forth a child. Her ventures are not in one bottom trusted, nor to one place. Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, east of the sun and west of the moon, she traveled, until she came to rest in a strange and distant land. There among a great and august company she learned is no great genius without a tincture of madness. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty and so bear ourselves that if the British Commonwealth and Empire last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'. We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. Therefore, ask not what your country can do for you, ask where shall we have Lunch?

Some things which I find less than helpful to the encyclopedia:

• Misuse of AGF AGF is not a suicide pact. If someone writes a post with blatant personal attacks, signs another user's name, then starts posting in multiple places calling for the banning of the innocent party, they are a troll. Calling them such is not a failure to AGF: it is a logical deduction.
• Attacking the victim When an editor is stalked, harassed, and otherwise badgered, and they eventually respond with a snippy comment, that is regrettable; but let's be clear on who the aggressor is in this type situation. The snowball should be to jump on the aggressor, and offer support to the frazzled victim.
• Mistaking Misplaced Pages for something else Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia. While civility and friendliness make it a more pleasant working environment for the volunteers here, it is not primarily a social networking group that happens to be writing an encyclopedia. It is an encyclopedia being written by volunteers, who may upon occasion engage in friendly chit-chat.
• Accusations of Censorship or Suppressing information I see these charges frequently, and I have never seen them to be true. Misplaced Pages is not censored, and every attempt to censor this encyclopedia has met with rapid and resounding failure. These two arguments are pointless and useless, and usually a failure to assume good faith as well, if not outright personal attacks. If you find information you feel should be included is being removed, valid and useful arguments for inclusion are that the information is verifiable and notable. Argue with those arguments, and don't accuse your fellow editors of censorship.

Useful thoughts

• On Talk:Evolution (regarding the high incidence of vandalism): I'm not suggesting that we lock up this page, but rather, continue to improve it so often that the vandalism edits are drowned in a sea of positive edits. --Cyde 00:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
