Warning
Was this a mistake by any chance? If not, well... an only warning was a little harsh for what appears to be trivial vandalism. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 00:18, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- It was not a mistake. For this user, I saw some worse vandalism from them that was stopped by the edit filter. I gave the final warning for the vandalism caught in the edit filter + the vandalism that wasn’t caught and I reverted. I usually do this with accounts that are evidently VOA. Do you disagree? They have been blocked now. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Did not notice the filter edits. I really need to check those more often. ;) Apologies, 47.227.95.73 (talk) 00:23, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- That’s how I find the vandalism to revert is by watching the filter log, if I’m not using SWViewer or AV. I know you won’t, but you really should create an account so you can use these great tools. As a former IP editor that created an account to user counter vandalism, it’s definitely worth it. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:31, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Same, but sometimes I miss more stale triggers, like in this instance, and even when I do, I don't usually give very high warnings right off the bat, both for moral reasons, and to distance myself from a certain user who evades their block by using IP addresses to revert vandalism, often giving high warnings to vandals. So, overall, I usually just start with a level 1 warning, except in egregious cases, obviously. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 00:37, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- I can definitely see your point of view. In my opinion, I will assume good faith for accounts exactly 1 time. If an account vandalizes, or attempt to vandalize, I will usually issue a warning and immediately report to AIV if it persists. I am much more lenient with IPs as they can be operated by more than one user. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:40, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- If you try to edit my user page, you will see an edit notice with the number or times people have tried to vandalize my user page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Special:AbuseLog/35124903 Shows this user was #10. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:43, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

- Haha. I enjoy looking through those filter hits. I also didn’t realize how long you’ve been active. 2 years!! And you still haven’t made an account? Please do! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:49, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Mostly active. I have taken two or three big wikibreaks over that period of time. I think my last one ended in February. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 00:55, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Makes sense. I joined in February, so I probably missed your Wikibreak. Crazy to think I’ve only been here 3 months. I feel like I’ve learned so much in that time. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:56, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, I have noticed that you manually archive your talk page. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but you can have a bot do it for you, like ClueBot III (the one I use). You can see the bot's userpage if you want to know more. Cheers! 47.227.95.73 (talk) 01:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Question from WikiChaserA (23:49, 22 May 2023)
Hi! I would like to make some edits before I create an article. I would like to know how many edits I should make before I create an article on Lloyd Grant. Thank you! --WikiChaserA (talk) 23:49, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Why do you delete or remove pages just created without reading it?
I just created and published a page with hours of work and review with our team. We just published an article and you removed it within 2 minutes and the articles was just published 1 minute before with more than 9,000 words... it clearly means you didnt read it and just remove it... I'm looking to help young entrepreneur to also get started by sharing Sacha Vandermeersch journey. This is really not fair and Misplaced Pages is not what it was before with people reading the info before updating the content... Sacha vandermeersch (talk) 02:01, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I did read it before I tagged it for deletion. Misplaced Pages is not a place for you to self-promote. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 10:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Sock tag
Hello Illusion Flame. Do you have a link that proves this? I frequently deal with socks, and I've never had any admin oppose such a edit. In fact, these tags help tremendously in keeping track of socks and dealing with future ones. HistoryofIran (talk) 23:04, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am just basing my edit off of experience. I once did what you did, tagged a Sockpuppet, but was reverted and told not to tag socks unless I was a CU or SPI clerk. I believe it was @Spicy that told me this. I don’t care if you do it, but I have been told otherwise. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Administrators instructions explains more. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:12, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, but where does it explain that only CU/SPI clerks are allowed to use the tag? I only add the tag on the talk page of obvious IP socks. If I have ever done it on the talk page of a user, then that would be because it was blatantly obvious. I would be disappointed if only CU/SPI clerks users are allowed to make use of tags. Without them, I wouldn't have rooted out so many socks, as the tags greatly help me keep track and be aware of the IP ranges they make use of. Bests. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:16, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- See . Spicy stated that unblocked users should not be tagged per WP:HSOCK. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I can't see how your example is similar to mine. Perhaps I don't know the context, but the user you added the tag to has never been blocked, which I assume means they weren't even a sock to begin with? The IP I added the tag on was blocked earlier (I was just too slow to add the tag) and was a obvious sock, restoring the edits of the other IP socks of User:Syntaktis123 and also operating in the same range (they operate through several ranges) as some of the socks . --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:32, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- You can keep doing it, I don’t care. I would ask an SPI clerk or CU for clarification though. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Question from Mane Desire Khachatryan (16:37, 25 May 2023)
how i can be in google knowledge panel --Mane Desire Khachatryan (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hello @Mane Desire Khachatryan!
- Misplaced Pages has no control over what appears on Google or other search engines, including what pictures and information occur in the summary at the right of the search results, so you will need to contact Google directly if you have an issue with content that appears on Google.
- The box on the right side on Google searches is generated by Google's Knowledge Graph. This uses a wide variety of sources, so while there may be a section labeled as "Misplaced Pages", images or other text before or after the Misplaced Pages excerpt may be from sources completely unrelated to Misplaced Pages. We have no control over how Google presents our information, but Google's Knowledge Graph has a "Feedback" link where anyone can mark a field as wrong.
- If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:34, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Question from Stopthepresses2023 (19:06, 26 May 2023)
Hello:
I am trying to page the introduction of my Wiki page and "I dream of horses" keeps changing it back. I need a review.
Please look at my page for Dr. Chris Bart. The opening introduction description of my career at McMaster is highly prejudicial and one sided.
Here is what I have proposed:
Dr. Chris Bart, FCPA, FCIOD, C.Dir. is an internationally renowned academic who retired from McMaster University's DeGroote School of Business in 2013. Bart and 5 other professors were accused of harassing other faculty in an effort to deny their faculty's Dean a second term. Rather than accepting a suspension, Bart chose to retire and put the past behind him.
However, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), chose to launch a formal court appeal and judicial review on his behalf. Jim Turk, the executive director of CAUT at the time, publicly stated that the McMaster process was so fatally flawed that the only just response was to overturn the entire decision. "This was a staged trial ordered by the university under rules that violated every concept of natural justice in this country," he said. "It had some of the character of a show trial, except it was in secret." In addition, none of the three academics on the McMaster panel had any training in law and the process allowed no right of appeal, leaving an application for judicial review as the only available response.
The result of the appeal was that court ordered McMaster into arbitration which resulted in an undisclosed settlement for Bart and the other professors --Stopthepresses2023 (talk) 19:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

- Buist, Steve. "Suspended M".
- Hello and Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I see you have re-added the content, and another user has adjusted it for readability and to better fit our policies. If you still disagree with the editor, discuss it on their talk page or on the talk page of the article. I am not a judge to determine the result of an editor disagreement. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:34, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Epping Secondary College
Hi, Sorry reverted you on this article, when I meant to roll it back to Oct 2022, which seems to be the last good version. TigerShark (talk) 04:14, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. I agree that Oct. 2022 was probably the last non-vandalized version. My apologies for not seeing that myself. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 04:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
NPP
Hi Illusion Flame, I noticed you have asked for the NPR right a few times, you may wish to consider NPPSCHOOL, which shows you have been taught the policies regarding NPP. I would recommend Atsme, as they are the lead NPP tutor (and they taught me). Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 11:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
I am a little busy right now, but I will probably enroll sometime soon. Thanks for the teacher recommendation. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 11:27, 31 May 2023 (UTC)- Done. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 11:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Draft submission
This is a little baffling. Why did you submit an incomplete/unsourced draft on behalf of the creator? Sam Kuru (talk) 15:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- They requested in on WP:VRTS. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 15:18, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- That's probably something that should be mentioned in the edit summary so it does not give the appearance you've made the evaluation yourself. Did you give them any feedback on the draft's unsuitability? Sam Kuru (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, and some pointers about sourcing and notability. I also shared details about our AFC process and the backlog time. I wanted to put it in an edit summary, but the tool doesn’t allow that. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 15:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Look I understand you want to teach students but you need to ne a bit more patient.You can even go months without getting a new student but it's no big deal. I don't think you should go to other users' pages and directly ask them if they want to be your student. By doing so, you come off as desperate which could harm your wiki career in the future. 223.223.128.252 (talk) 05:29, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
