The Signpost: 6 November 2024
- From the editors: Editing Misplaced Pages should not be a crime
- In the media: An old scrimmage, politics and purported libel
- Special report: Misplaced Pages editors face litigation, censorship
- Traffic report: Twisted tricks or tempting treats?
I'm so confused
With all the page moves etc, but I created those pages by clicking links that were all in my face so I assume you know what is up and i'm not (completely) insane? Just Step Sideways 10:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Just Step Sideways you're not insane (at least in this regards). Somehow the pages all got created as JSS (Alerts 0) which messed everything up. I have mostly fixed this; you have 1 or 2 more steps left to do. The step I definitely know you have to do is go to Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2024/Candidates/Just Step Sideways/Statement and uncomment the template that is on the page (and I think delete your statement that's on there). You may also have to transclude the page to the candidates page. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:30, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't remember this being the least bit difficult in the past. I'm lost. I'm not running for template editor. I think I got it? Just Step Sideways 17:50, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have no idea what the behind the scenes setup is for all this. I think the lesson learned is to not accidently have some weird text present when you create the candidate pages :). You are showing as a candidate so I agree it seems to be all worked out. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

More agile
Regarding this comment: "more agile" is, of course, a relative term :-), as the arbitration committee wasn't all that quick in modifying the discretionary sanctions framework. But true enough, the community as a whole is too big to reach consensus agreement on major changes, and too ingrained with the idea of deriving procedures from the bottom up to worry about aligning discrepancies in its procedures. (Not worrying about trying to align everything has certain practical advantages which probably outweigh the negatives on the whole, but it leaves a lot of room for argument if everyone isn't willing to go along to get along.) I'm guessing there will have to be a bigger divergence between the contentious topics and discretionary sanctions frameworks before the community is willing to invest time to reach a consensus on the matter, and I imagine that once again they'll just say "like that, with these small differences". isaacl (talk) 18:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- It wasn't quick to modify DS as a whole. It has been quick to make more granular changes. And despite it being slow to modify DS as a whole it's done it a couple of times where as - as you note - the community never has. So even on that front it is "more agile" if not exactly "speedy". Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes – the committee being a much smaller group is actually able to generate real-world consensus, and it can fall back to voting if necessary. So changes everyone agrees on can get done quickly, and larger scale changes stand a much better chance of being considered and eventually implemented. (The vocal segment of the community that gets involved in process discussions seems less interested in that practical example of moving forward, versus ensuring their dissent will be strongly heard.) isaacl (talk) 18:31, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research
Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
Kind Regards,

Tban violations
Hello @Barkeep49:, I want to make sure someone is monitoring @Nishidani:'s violations of the topic ban you placed. Two days ago, they made these edits on their talk page , which clearly breach the ban. A similar violation happened a couple of weeks ago, where Nishidani also uploaded content violating the ban . @ScottishFinnishRadish: reverted them and pointed out the violation . There’s also this minor edit on an ARBPIA-related article , which seems to follow the exact same pattern. I think this situation calls for fair enforcement, consistent with prior cases.
