N.B.

  • Please see the tags at the top of this page. I move comments that others add to this page if I perceive them to have been misdirected and/or I archive them. This is my User talk page. I archive comments when and as I wish. That is my prerogative. You can find them in the archive or moved to where they should be placed. Not here.
  • Please do not post any more comments on my talk page (if at all possible). Having already expended a great deal of my time to respond expeditiously, patiently, and courteously to earlier comments, I simply cannot and do not want to take the time to deal with them any further.
  • As already requested above: Please place comments about making improvements to articles on the talk pages of those articles. Thank you.
  • Due to my own other priorities (related to my own professional work and travel schedule), I am turning back to focusing on my own non-Misplaced Pages related work. Thanks very much to those who do understand for understanding. I appreciate your compassion.
  • Since first posting this, I have attempted to make some corrections to and to update a few articles that I have worked hard on recently, but I really do need to focus on my own work in order to get it done on schedule. I have to go offline to do it. For extended periods of time, I will not be logging back into Misplaced Pages.
  • Earlier discussions are in my "Talk archives".
  • The abbreviation "tc" in my editing box summaries stands for "typographical corrections."

Disrupting my talk page

I have asked people to stop posting about these matters on my talk page; the posts are disrupting more than my talk page; they are disrupting my work schedule and my life. I am very tired and I want to rest. I recovered from a recent month-long illness early in January, and I have no desire to fall ill again because of what I am regarding as disruptive activity by others (not I) on my (yes, my) Misplaced Pages talk page. Please stop disrupting my talk page, my work schedule, and my life. Please demonstrate some compassion. Thank you. --NYScholar (talk) 22:40, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

For those who need such guidance, before posting anything on my current talk page, please see: WP:TPG and Misplaced Pages:User page (sec. on User talk pages), particularly Misplaced Pages:User page#Removal of comments, warnings, and the other links at top of page, as well as my "N.B." sec. Thank you. (Updated. This will all be archived shortly.) ---NYScholar (talk) 23:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

NYScholar, this page is provided for other users to communicate with you. The way you are currently conducting, telling good faith editors and administrators to buzz off and stop disturbing you is not acceptable. I think if you have 'real life' work you need to do and you find other editors on Misplaced Pages an annoying distraction, you really ought to stop logging onto the site until you've finished your work and have time to respond to people's questions and concerns. Frankly, you shouldn't be editing Misplaced Pages if you're not prepared to respond to your fellow editors. Also, please consider using the 'preview' button and ensuring your post is complete and correct before posting it instead of making half-a-dozen minor edits to every post you make, catching people in multiple edit conflicts.

When one edits in sections, the notes citations texts do not show up; "show preview" does not show them; many of my edits have been corrections to notes citations, and they have been done in stages when I have been in editing sections; I have had to return to the page in full article mode in show preview to see the results of the edits. That's just a Misplaced Pages glitch. Many people encounter that problem. It has nothing to do with "show preview" if one is in sections; one has to be in full article editing mode to see notes citations. Given the vast number of changes needed to the citation templates, editing that article has resulted in having to return from section to full many times. One does not always know how things will post in citations in "show preview" in sections. That leads to having to return multiple times. I have already said in the talk pages of articles that I do not like using citation templates; I have deferred to their use in that article, but it is hard to work with them (as many will attest); there are puncutation problems that often need correction: the problem with the citation templates as some people were creating them is already discussed fully in Talk:Heath Ledger. Please see that discussion. --NYScholar (talk) 00:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I am also a "good faith editor": WP:AGF. Everyone makes typographical errors; not every bothers to take the time to correct them. I do so in an attempt to have accuracy in articles in Misplaced Pages. (Updated.) --NYScholar (talk) 00:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

WARNING

I am following WP:POL re: talk pages. I can delete and/or archive comments after I read them. DO NOT DELETE MY OWN COMMENTS FROM THIS TALK PAGE. THAT IS VANDALISM. Please stop micromanaging my talk page. --NYScholar (talk) 00:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
