Re:Thank You

Well, thanks :), I didn't have to carry the message because he has already been blocked. . Next time, all you have to do, is to report vandals at WP:AIV. See ya around -Flubeca 01:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Bit of Advice

I know vandalism can be a pain in the neck. I have an article on watch for a favorite actress of mine, and it burns me up every time it gets vandalized (which has happened quite a bit), to the point where I want to give them all vandal4 warnings. Don't become too personally attached to articles. I'm not saying don't revert the vandalisms and warn vandals, but do so in a way that is adherent to policy. I encourage you to check out WP:WARN. There's a complete list of all the things someone can be warned for at various levels (I usually start with level 1 or 2, unless it's a massive amount of vandalism, and work from there), as well as templates to place on the user's talkpage. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.--Ispy1981 07:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, if you (Wilhelmina Will, not Ispy1981) ever become an administrator, don't block for one test edit. FunPika 11:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Your message

OK, Which image do you think's been tagged unfairly? Sfan00 IMG 20:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Wilhemina Will, I'm sorry you feel that Sfan00 is being unreasonable about the image but this work is necessary and is not a personal campaign on their part. If you tell me either here or on my talk which image has been tagged I can try and help with adding a fair use rationale to prevent the image being deleted. I've looked but I can't immediately see which image you are referring too as there are a lot of people who Wendy could be! I understand your frustration as image processes are quite complex on Misplaced Pages but please try and be civil towards the image taggers who are, after all, contributing to Misplaced Pages just as you and I are! Regards Farosdaughter 20:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Update: I believe I have found the image you were referring to, Image:WendySP.jpg and I've added a rationale which means the image should not be deleted. Please have a look and see what is required so perhaps you can do it in the future if other images on that page get tagged. If you need any help with anything please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards Farosdaughter 21:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
No problem whatsoever. Farosdaughter 21:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

South Park characters

For the record, referring to a fictional character as a fictional character is not an "insult" but fact. Paul730 22:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Iggy Arbuckle Requests

I would agree to assist. However, I'm still new in Misplaced Pages and possess little knowledge on how to deal with the administrators.

It should be guranteed that the article will have images and other things required. But this could take time. Misplaced Pages is so strict regards to the embedding of images. This is why a lot of pics from other articles have been speed deleted after being added for some period. Their policy also makes very difficult obtain images. FoxLad 00:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

That's of little help seeing as that's wrong, it's fairly easy to add images and keep them on articles if you can justify it correctly. Nothing hard to it, just requires you do it right, those image deletions FoxLad refers to are because of sloppy tagging of the images, little else.
First of all, RTFM as getting help needn't involve admins. Consider reading WP:UPIMAGE and then WP:PIC for the ways to upload and put them into articles. Don't forget to add the copyright template for it or it'll be deleted (in this case {{Non-free television screenshot}}). If you need more info, I'll be happy to clear up any problems you might encounter, just come and leave me a message on my talkpage as it's unlikely I'll be replying anywhere else. --treelo talk 15:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


Message to MartinBot

Hi, I saw your message on MartinBot's talk page. Unfortunately, not only is that bot broken right now, but it's only purpose is to revert vandalism. In fact, most bots just have one or two purposes and they won't take care of anything else. However, these purposes are still really important to the project. I actually can't help you with images either because I am blind, but I thought I would give you this information about bots.Academic Challenger 07:50, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Kira and Jiggers

This is a reply to the last message you sent me. Maybe Jiggers and Kira are attracted to each other. To be honest, I only seen a few of the episodes.FoxLad 10:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Plots summaries

The plot summaries you made regarding those episodes on my talk page aren't bad. They're one of the few episodes I have seen. If you plan to make articles regarding those episodes, add a category at the bottom of the page and named it like "Iggy Arbuckle Episodes." Also, they should contain sufficient info so that they won't become candidates for speed delete. FoxLad 04:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

You're planning to make summaries of each episode into separate articles right? Once you wrote all the information needed, just create that category at the bottom of the page.

The administrators these days are so critical regarding the information of a newly made artical which is why you have to put enough into it. Whenever they would put speed delete tags or anything that indicates that the article contains inadequate info, you may try to contact and convince them to let it stay. FoxLad 06:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Your request

Hello,

I am sorry, I'm not an administrator and have never been, but good luck with your editing.

Leafyplant 01:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Original research

Just because some person on a fansite says that she dreamt about the characters doesn't mean they exist in an alternate universe. I dream about Buffy characters sometimes, it doesn't mean they're real, it just means that I watch the show a lot so it's part of my subconscious. I really hope you'll drop this theory now because frankly it's getting boring. Respecting another person's beliefs is one thing, but claiming that the South Park characters are real is just ludicrous.

Original research is "unpublished facts, arguments, concepts, statements, or theories." To find out more see WP:NOR. The reason I objected was because the South Park character articles are written from an in-universe perspective. They discuss the character's hobbies and make assumptions about them based on their actions. None of this information has any real world context or is sourced by the writers or critics of the show, which makes it irrelevant and original research. That might be okay on South Park Wiki, which I see you are a member of, but not on an encyclopedia like Misplaced Pages. (That sounded snobbier than I meant it, I like Wikias.) You have even objected to characters being referred to as fictional, and reverted people who have tried to include this because it is an "insult" to the characters. When I challenged you about this, you claimed that we can't know the characters are fictional because of some dream some fan apparently had. None of this is a valid defense for the state of the current articles. For good examples of how fictional character articles should be written, see Jason Voorhees, Jack Harkness, Jack Sparrow, and Jabba the Hutt, among others. Paul730 21:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Tidying up Iggy Arbuckle

As you can see, I haven't changed anything to a great extent, I've just compacted things somewhat. HalfShadow 03:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Categories

To categorize an article, use the following code at bottom of an article:

]

I noticed you used the {{ }} brackets, but these are used to transclude (in other words, include the content of another page), usually a template.

You can read more at WP:CAT. I have fixed the article you were talking about. Also for future reference, you can remove the {{uncat}} tag once you add at least one category. Hope this helps. :) --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 06:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes that does help. Thanks three tons! (For three handfuls!) Wilhelmina Will 06:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

No prob, glad I could help. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 06:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Please note:

User:Agweybana is indefinitely blocked due to impersonation of User:Agüeybaná. The imposter was most decidedly uncivil, and any comments they may have made, you should completely disregard, and not worry about. Additionally, you might want to remove your comment on their talk page, as it could probably just feed them. I'm sorry that you had an unpleasant encounter with this editor, but they were taken care of as swiftly as possible. I hope this helps clear things up! Ariel♥Gold 03:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 22:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Do not remove AfD messages

Do not remove the template until the discussion is over. There is no getting around it now that it has been placed. TTN 18:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not make demands

This edit in which you present a list of demands is entirely inappropriate. Trying to coerce editors into agreeing with your position by threating to pester them "for decades", as you say, is not an acceptable venue for conflict resolution. In addition, TTN is under no obligation to help you improve articles. I understand your attachment to your articles and your reason for wanting them on Misplaced Pages—I really do. Please try to remember to TTN is only trying to enforce Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines. Thanks, Pagrashtak 18:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Help with episode articles

You should take a look at Homer's Phobia if you want to see an example of what Misplaced Pages considers a well-written article about a television episode. Note the Production and Reception sections in particular, which are written from a real-world perspective (that is, they describe the real world and not the fictional world in which the show is set). Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have any more in/out of universe questions. Pagrashtak 18:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Your civiliy

I would remind you that you must keep a civil attitude. Edit summaries like this are not civil at all. While TTN may be brusque, and at times incivil, that does not give you license to do the same. Also, do not revert on others' talk pages. They have to right to remove comments as they please. Thank you. i  19:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad you're able to take suggestions. Always a good trait. And what about WarthogDemon? i  04:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Uploading a file

To upload a file or an image, look in the left handside of the screen, and underneath the search box, there should be a toolbox, in it, it should say "Upload file". Click it, and follow the directions. Dreamy 11:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for putting that redirect on MOSHEAD. I'm not good at some such simple technical things. Tony (talk) 02:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: What was that all about?!

Umm, yeah... if you're talking about the vandalism by Tha Chronic, you're in the wrong userpage. I'm The Chronic. So...

The Chronic has given you the blank stare and no longer cares what you say. Possibly due to Hanlon's razor, which states "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.", or because this user knows he is correct no matter what you say. Spread the indifference by ignoring someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. The Chronic 03:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (headings) merge

There seem to be a number of issues that have yet to be reconciled regarding the merger of WP:HEAD into WP:MOS:

  • At least some information was not moved from WP:HEAD to WP:MOS, such as information on linking headings
  • The Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (headings) redirect is anchored, but not to a current WP:MOS heading
  • There are still links to WP:HEAD in WP:MOS
  • There are still links to WP:HEAD from other pages, such as WP:GTL

I am not familiar with the full extent of the nature and overlap of the merged information. I only discovered the issues while looking for information (on linking headings), and went in a few circles before finding it only on the old WP:HEAD. I'm not sure what the best solution is; I'm just responding to your edit summary of WP:MOS at 01:30, 27 October 2007. ENeville 17:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Erich Hartmann

I don't think it would be considered original research to post such a fact on Eric Cartman's page, as I did no research other than my own mental processes to arrive at that conclusion, but it probably would be considered unsourced trivia, which is admittedly worse as far as Misplaced Pages content goes. I'll see if I can find it mentioned in someplace reputable, but like you said, I doubt I'll come up with anything. Thank you for the suggestion, though! Sestet 22:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I specified its likelihood as trivia because it's a mere nuance of name-association that warrants, at maximum, a single-sentence. "Original research" isn't solely limited to personal ideas that have yet to be published in some form. For example, if Product X were to have an article on Misplaced Pages, I could design a scientific experiment (going beyond the realm of mental processes) to test the efficacy of Product X in my basement, but I could not post the results of it here. If Scientific American performed an experiment on Product X's efficacy, however, that would be fair grounds for publication. Anyway, this is a long response to a simple comment. Thank you again. - Sestet 23:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Nothing especially illuminating, but I did find a few .org websites that mentioned the possibility in passing. I don't think any would make for particularly acceptable sources, though. If you'd like to have a look you can drop me a line: Sestet@gmail.com. - Sestet 23:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Messages

Re your message: I must disagree that the user's edits were not vandalism nor unhelpful. Neither this or this were constructive edits. About your other question, while I do have an account on Wiki Commons, I am not an administrator there so I did not delete the image. -- Gogo Dodo 06:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007 personal attack in edit summary of Image:WendySP.jpg

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. UserDoe 21:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Comment on my talkpage

  • First: I use templates for warnings. Second: Calling an editor "Idiot" is considered a personal attack. Your edit summary looked like this

    You idiot! Miss Testaburger is not a minor character! She may not have been in any recent roles, but dammit, she deserves better than this! Until season eight, she was secondary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Image:WendySP.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=170179227

    Third: You don't need to agree with Misplaced Pages's policies, they exist and editors ought to follow these policies. I will not comment on your language and the rest of your text. Without words. UserDoe 21:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • The editor who placed the WP:NFCC tag is simply saying that the image fails #3 and #8 of WP:NFCC which states:

3. (a) Minimal usage. As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article and in Misplaced Pages as a whole. Multiple items are not used if one will suffice; one is used only if necessary. (b) Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/sample length is used (especially where the original could be used for piracy). This rule also applies to the copy in the Image: namespace. 8. Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Non-free media files are not used if they can be replaced by text that serves a similar function.

I can't tell you if the character is indeed not significant to the whole topic. I'm also taking no sides here, I'm neutral. I mainly posted a warning on your talk page, because you were calling another editor names in your edit summary. You should resolve your dispute with user Rettetast by yourself and without using any more personal attacks. Reasonable discussions are more helpful than attacking each other.

Kenny

I know it's a fact, I watch the show. However, we should have a source confirming that the reason Kenny is allowed to swear uncensored is because of his hood muffling his voice. Obviously that's why, but unfortunately "obviously" means nothing on Misplaced Pages because what might be obvious to one person may not be to another. Everything needs to be sourced, we cannot jump to conclusions, no matter how small a jump it may be.  Paul  730 23:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

The vandalism of TTN

I'd like to think your work would help, but to guys like TTN, no episode is safe. Besides, your Iggy Arbuckle article is tagged too, along with the episodes. If you can improve them, good for you. Just don't ever think they'll always be safe with any members of the deletion crew. ----DanTD 01:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Interesting trick. I wonder how well that works. Most of the Kim Possible articles aren't mine either, but I still think they shoule be revived, even the episodes that I think sucked. ----DanTD 02:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
For the record, there is a Kim Possible Wiki. In fact, there are more than one. The trouble is, I can't seem to get it up to the standards of the current wikipedia page. I also tried to make an Even Stevens Wiki, and nobody on the fan wiki wanted to give me any help. And some revelations on other articles TTN deleted, has given me even more bad faith in his motives, despite the fact that he handed me a sandbox link. ----DanTD 05:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: Of course they're free!

The images are not free because you don't hold the copyright to those images. They are from a copyrighted TV show, not your personal collection. -- LAX 05:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, the show is copyrighted and unless you get permission from the copyright holders, your (technically) stealing the images (unless you provide a detailed, well-written fair-use rationale). -- LAX 06:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Huh? -- LAX 06:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Bottom line is that...

1. The images you upload from the show Iggy Arbuckle, are non-free.
Solution: Tag the images with the appropriate copyright tags, probably {{Non-free television screenshot}}.
2. Just because you took the screenshot yourself, doesn't mean you hold the copyright.
Solution: Don't claim fair-use images as your own.
3. Provide a detailed, well-written fair-use rationale.
Solution: Read Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline

Please refrain from threatening Misplaced Pages users, as you did on the talk page of 67.168.95.70. This is not only impolite, but against wikipedia policy.

Blocked user

I assume you're referring to User:Phermannronald? That user was the latest reincarnation of a notorious sockpuppeteer. See Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/IP check#Pee Wee Herman vandal and User:TigerShark/PeeWee. Also, for future reference, what the user was doing absolutely was vandalism. Did you read their list of "demands"? GlassCobra 21:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Are you serious? The user wasn't asking for MoS guidelines to be changed; he was asking for two editors to leave totally, and for all his sockpuppets to be granted administrator status, as well as permanent changes to any references to McDonald's, Ronald, and other articles that he frequently edits. You clearly need a fuller grasp of the situation. GlassCobra 21:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea how you could possibly be reading what that user said in the way that you have. They were not requests, they were demands, and he said that he will continue to vandalize if they are not met. Misplaced Pages does not cater to users attempting to hold process hostage. GlassCobra 23:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Also, if this isn't vandalism then I don't know what is. And that was his/her first contribution under that name. - Jeeny 23:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Maybe this link is better. Please read what he changed the article from and then to. This is an actor, not a character. :) - Jeeny 23:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

As I said earlier, you clearly don't have a full grasp of this situation. This user has abused several sockpuppets in order to vandalize Misplaced Pages. See , , and , on this sock alone. See the links that I pointed to you for other blatant vandalism edits committed by this user under many different names. GlassCobra 00:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I happen to have TTN's talk page on my watchlist so I just saw your most recent post there about s/he not liking you. Please take this as friendly advice but I get the impression that constantly trying to interact with someone you've been in conflict with can be rather like constantly pestering them and can be an annoyance. I know you want to try to make peace but it might be best to simply leave TTN be and not constantly jump into every conversation on his talk page (I know I say that as I'm doing the same thing!) Unless you are in conflict over a specific article in the future I recommend just going your own way, it makes your life on wiki much more pleasant not to dwell on the old issues! Stardust8212 01:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand just wanting to help (look at me!) but sometimes trying too hard to help only annoys people (I've certainly fallen in that trap). Anyway, as far as the way TTN handles episode articles goes, that's currently part of an ongoing arbitration case and it will be dealt with by that process. It'll probably be about a month before any real results come from it but you might be interested in whatever the outcome is. Just something else to think about.

I found the Polish one {{User Polish Ancestry}}, I'd recommend just doing some searches for things like "Polish User", "German User", etc., that's how I found that one.

RE: Why do they do it?

Maybe they don't know South Park Wiki exists. I usually link to Buffyverse Wiki at the bottom of Misplaced Pages articles so people have a place to go to find the info not available or suitable for Misplaced Pages. It's a bit cheeky, since I'm trying to advertise the wiki and divert some traffic over there, but I do think it's important to link to external wikis since Misplaced Pages does support transwiki-ing info. In my experience, people trying to add trivia-type info are larely happy to be directed to a place where their contributions are appreciated rather than reverted, and I see some editors at Wikia who only found the site through Misplaced Pages. Some editors here complain that Wikia doesn't always pass WP:EL, but I argue that the ends justify the means because if people are directed to the site, then it stands more of a chance of passing WP:EL. I believe they two site should co-operate. Not to mention the fact that we link to IMDb and other cites, and they're not always reliable. Try gently directing editors adding inappropiate material here to the SP Wiki, or linking there on Misplaced Pages articles. Why do you ask anyway? :)  Paul  730 01:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it can be frustrating, I agree with you. You feel as though there's a perfect solution and noone's taking advantage of it. I think the more developed the Wikia is, the more willing people are to contribute to it. The Buffyverse Wiki is becoming a bit more active lately (that's not saying much, but it is encouraging). The SP Wiki seems quite good actually, I'm sure how active it is but your articles are a lot less stubby than some Wikias. One way you might be able to lure a few editors over is with images - Misplaced Pages is very strict with non-free images and I think (not certain though) that Wikia is more welcoming. Maybe if you decorate the SP Wikia with lots of images and screencaps from episodes, people might think "Ooh, that's pretty I like it here." That's just a theory though. :P I've barely been on the Buffy Wiki lately, and my edit count over here has been lower than usual as well. I'm still full of intentions, like yourself, just been distracted with other things.  Paul  730 01:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Lol, sure thing. You might want to re-add some basic info to the Misplaced Pages Kyle article though. It barely even mentions that he's Jewish, which is one of his most basic character traits. Definitely get rid of the Death section from Misplaced Pages too, that's total fancruft. One thing when moving info to Wikia is fixing links. I often don't do it because I'm lazy but articles will sometimes have different titles and you'll have to adjust the links accordingly. For example, an article might be called "Imaginationland (South Park)" on Misplaced Pages but on SP Wiki it would just be "Imaginationland", if you know what I mean. Also, if you're linking something basic which SP Wiki doesn't have an article for, you might want to put ] to link here instead. And remember to link to SP Wiki in the Misplaced Pages article "External links" section. :) See Help:Archiving a talk page.  Paul  730 05:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

yup, i know what it means

""Dit artikel is nog niet gereed voor Misplaced Pages"."

it means "this article isn't ready yet for Misplaced Pages", literally translated· Lygophile has spoken 04:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

ah yeah, i was hoping the literal translation was gonna make sense in english or with the context you would have. i can't really figure what it would be in more typical english, because this sentence in dutch is i think as unspecified as the english sentence i gave, so it would depend on context.
i also think the Dutch sentence may be a somewhat inaccurate translation form German or English itself so..
but as the sentence is is supposed to mean that it fails requirement for inclusion in Misplaced Pages. which i find somewhat odd..
i would guess what they're trying to say is that the article is a stub and requires more contend· Lygophile has spoken 04:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

No position from me

I simply made the move because I felt it was the best way to help the project. I also placed a references-needed tag on the article, and someone more invested in the page than I am needs to attempt to find at least a few out-of-universe references to some of these fictional species, or it it may be back to the list, and out with the images, in order to keep the article from being deleted as unsourced.

Minivan Vandal

Hey Man.

It is nice to see you stick up for Maxim, but really, just don't talk to the vandal.

This guy is just mad because we reverted his constant adding of POV into the GM Minivan articles. And now, he is doing this because he wants to get a rise out of us. Every time I dealt with a vandal, they eventually grew tired and stopped, and this guy won't' be any different. You see how he personally attacks me, yet I never say a word to him. We just need to not give this assfuck attention, as that is what he wants. If we just RWB (Revert warn block) this guy, then he will eventually grow tired and stop, as he sees that he won't get a rise out of us. If you threaten him, that is just incentive for him to keep doing it. So, please, don't threaten him, and just let this pass. When he sees that we aren't going to give him any special attention, he'll stop. So, in a nutshell, don't feed the trolls. Karrmann (talk) 03:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

South Park - Why do you call it Vandalism?

Are you referring to this revert? If you do, please undo it. What caused this particular revert on my part is my lack of understanding of the South Park culture. Jazzeur (talk) 05:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Try to refrain from abusive edit summaries

Your edit summary for List of The Fairly OddParents characters‎ that says "Please go away. You're not helping here." is a bit uncivil and not needed. You and TTN obviously don't agree on things, but that doesn't mean you need to post an abusive summary. RobJ1981 (talk) 05:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Unless he is somehow banned from editing that article (which could happen I guess), you are going to have to just deal with it. Telling someone to go away isn't the correct thing to do. Why post something that he probably wont even read or listen to? Just revert and if he continues, keep an eye out for 3RR violations. RobJ1981 (talk) 20:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop yourself

You have taken it upon yourself to undo thousands of hours of work by hundreds of editors without even trying to discuss this on the South Park project page. You are a wholesale vandal and need to be stopped. Captain Infinity (talk) 00:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, you will be blocked from editing.

Good Goal, Bad Technique

I see you took off after South Park, which I wholly endorse. However, you can see that it hasn't worked out well, so I would stop for a bit. Each of those articles that needs cleaned up, put a cleanup tag on about the problems. Put a notice up on the talk pages for the list of episodes indicating which ones need cleaned up, and set a time that you will merge them. After that, you stand a chance. Just cold redirecting them won't work well.Kww (talk) 00:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

A request, with all due respect.

Please stop stalking me. Thank you. Captain Infinity (talk) 02:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Fine. Understand, then, that I am a part of the South Park Wikiproject, and watch just about every SP article. My edit was reverted by TTN, and he explained why in his summary. That was enough for me and I considered the case closed, and I made no further action to revive the article. I fail to understand, then, why you need to pop onto my talk page with a borderline insulting question written in an arrogant tone. "What on Earth are you doing?" is not a question conducive to a civil response; its tone is combative. I do not wish to engage in a confrontation with you. It may be best if we both try to keep out of each other's faces. What do you say? Captain Infinity (talk) 02:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but you'll need to send another message if you want the last word. You have said, and I quote, "Misplaced Pages's articles on South Park don't deserve to be as good as the information given in South Park Wiki." I find this attitude towards Misplaced Pages offensive, and indicative that you have an agenda to disrupt and damage Misplaced Pages's South Park articles in an attempt to make the South Park wiki "better" somehow. Perhaps you should concentrate more on developing the South Park wiki and less on removing content from Misplaced Pages. Both can exist on the same internet, you know. Peace, out.

RE: How do you do it?

LOL, well, I don't really "get other users to notice" me. I am usually very active on RCP and people just notice that, I guess. Don't worry; Barnstars in no way represent anything really. Keep doing what you're doing. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I have restored the image as requested. Please fill in all the gaps in the templates I have added to the description page and restore the link to the article. It is still tagged for speedy deletion, so you have 7 days to do so :) Papa November (talk) 09:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Userpage images license problems

Hello! This is probably a simple clarification, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. The text on the image pages you have on your userpage seems to indicate that the images are "for Misplaced Pages only" (for example, stating that you give Misplaced Pages or other wikis permission to use them). This type of license is not compatible with free content, since one essential component of free content is that anyone must be allowed to use the content in any medium and for any purpose, whether the original or a modified version. Nonfree pictures may not be used in non-article space such as user pages. I see you have public-domain license tags on the images, did you really mean to release them public-domain (no restrictions on use whatsoever?) This would be fine, as would the GFDL or certain Creative Commons licenses, but in that case the text restricting the pictures to nonfree status should be removed for clarity's sake. If you need any help getting the licensing in order so the pictures can remain, please let me know! If you would prefer not to release your work under a free license at this time, please let me know as well and I will delete the images. Seraphimblade 00:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Not sure about hexes, but I'm not really clear. Does your permission extend to uses other than Misplaced Pages and other wikis, or is that something you wish to prohibit? As it stands, the images aren't under an acceptable license, since use outside of a certain medium (wikis) appears to be prohibited. I'm not really clear on whether that's your intent or not, since they're also public-domain tagged. Seraphimblade 02:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Thank you for your comment on my talk page. The semi-automated tool that I use to revert vandalism automatically puts the link in the warning. This is to show evidence to possible blocking admins that vandalism has been done. This also points out where the user has gone wrong. My edit to that page that mentioned may have been in error. Feel free to revert me and/or remove the warning from the I.P.'s talk page. If you require any help whatsoever or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me :-) Take care, friend!

Most likely all the SP articles attract a lot of attention. Just in case you didn't know: WP:RFPP would be a good place to request for article protection if an article is being vandalised heavily and incessantly. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask :-) Scarian 23:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


Non-free use disputed for Image:EntireIggyArbucklecast.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EntireIggyArbucklecast.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 05:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not used to replying on my own talkpage, but since you preferred it, okay:
Well what am I supposed to do? What sort of a rationale would be suitable for this kind of an image, in that case? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 06:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The license needs to be corrected. It is not a screenshot at all, but a promotional image. The image need to be reduced in size to comply with fair use. No more than 800 pixels on the longest side, at best. See Image:TrinityBloodMen.jpg for an example of the appropriate license and fair use template this particular kind of image needs. Collectonian (talk) 06:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, I did all that you asked, and I even cleaned up the fair use rationale as much as I could think to do. Is it all right now, or is there something left to be done? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The size is good and that's better. I've gone ahead and finished the last bit it needed. Collectonian (talk) 07:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, regarding this edit, please don't add info without a source. WP:V is non-negotiable and any material that is challenged can be removed at any time, thanks. Spellcast (talk) 08:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I saw the edit summary, but the burden of evidence is on the person who adds the info. You say it's not fair to remove info which could be true. If that's the case, why not let people add random speculation? Afterall, they could be true. Adding a ref is not optional. Otherwise, how do we know it's not being made up?

Vandalism

Please stop damaging the South Park articles. There is no contest going on, and your attempts to somehow make your beloved South Park Wiki "superior" to Misplaced Pages by deleting Misplaced Pages's South Park content is misguided and and unwelcome. Damaging one does not improve the other, and believe me the South Park Wiki needs a LOT of improvement. Please concentrate your efforts there. Thank you. Captain Infinity (talk) 23:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

You're behaving like a child. Grow up. Captain Infinity (talk) 01:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Avoiding me is a great idea and I encourage it as I'm sure we are both tired of each other. However, if you continue to try to sabotage Misplaced Pages by vandalising its South Park articles I will continue to be there to repair damage you do. Captain Infinity (talk) 01:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Wilhelmina

Thanks for the message, Wilhelmina. With great power comes great responsibility, and no admin should be so self-confident as to think that they can't make errors. Anybody who deletes images without permission has to live with the possibility that they might do so in error, and should keep accurate records in order to undo their mistake if necessary rather than blaming the victim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhodgson (talk • contribs) 05:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
