Regarding , that is great. Exactly what I had in mind. But let me ask this. The wiki page that is supported by the AFA reference says, "The March, 2005 issue of the AFA's Journal contained an article which claimed that raising children as Jews would lead to criminal lifestyles...." True or not true, I just do not see that in the AFA article. All it says was that he grew up in a Jewish house then went on to other things. I do not see in the article that the AFA "claimed that raising children as Jews would lead to criminal lifestyles." I think that language comes from the MMfA article you removed. Because of the heat I've taken on the AFA talk page, would you please consider what I just said and consider how to resolve the issue? Then please either guide me or make the change(s) yourself. Thank you. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I now confirm that material is from the MMfA link: http://mediamatters.org/items/200504130003 In my opinion, removing the MMfA link should also mean removing the MMfA material in the MMfA article that is not supported in the underlying AFA link. Follow this to its logical conclusion regarding all the links in that section and you may begin to see why I thought removing the entire section having similar faults throughout was the best solution, especially where I gave people notice and sought input from the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. I do appreciate your assistance in this regard. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
All it took was one word. You should stop focusing on removing the content and instead focusing on improving the content. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 05:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I understand. But I was interested in the claims and found they were not supported. So in this case improving the article means removing the unsupported or inadequately supported material, no?
Also, I do not think the AFA article insinuates, instead of claims, what the AFA is accused of insinuating or claiming. That is a pure fiction whose source is the MMfA article only. No? I cannot imagine Encyclopedia Brittanica including such a statement and basing it on the MMfA article. I'm sure Misplaced Pages has a policy on such a situation, I just don't know what it is. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 05:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thanks

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The indefinite community ban of Bluemarine (talk·contribs) is still in effect, with an Arbitration Committee ban now running concurrently for one year, at which point the community may consider unbanning the user. As a result of the violations of our Biographies of Living People policy that have occurred on the article Matt Sanchez, it has been placed on article probation, which requires that editors be especially mindful of content and interaction policies.
I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Misplaced Pages and its quality!

deleting the article about me
it was completely on purpose, see the article's discussion page.
although i'm sure you don't care at all about what it says.
confirmed by the fact that you simply deleted my letter without a moment's hesitation.
That's not how things are deleted on Misplaced Pages. Sorry. If you have issues, discuss them on the article's talk page but blanking the page is against policy and will not be tolerated. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 10:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I see he has been banned for 5 days. Thanks. He wasn't just removing the casino content but also vandalising the infobox and several of the references/sources with long strings of '''''''''''''''''''''''''' - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 08:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Jay
I hope you don't think I'm being a dick. That's just one of my pet peeves...labelling gay people that don't want to be known as "the gay" person. People that prefer to be labelled or known for being gay is cool with me, just not people that don't like it. But yeah, I think the rewrite Leibovits suggested is ok as well...if that info has to be included.
p.s. I use to live in Pensacola and I made my way to Mobile, Biloxi, and New Orleans all the time. I remember reading you're a Mississippian and wondered if you ever went to Pensacola for the Memorial Day weekend festivities, or more importantly, Southern Decadence? I went to S.D. one time and almost got pregnant, so I did not return.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 08:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
All of the magazine interviews he's been in, many he proudly hosts on his own web site, have sections where he talks about being out and gay - which doesn't give much weight to the notion that he doesn't want to be labelled or be known for being gay. Granted, being gay is not *just* who any of us are but he's made sure to mention it a bijillion times so why can't it be mentioned in an article about him on Misplaced Pages? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Yes, I've been to the festivities in Pensacola. Once, and that was enough for me. The oil slick in the ocean from all the hair spray, hair gel and infinite brand names of lube was enough to give Greenpeace a stroke. As for S.D., I lived in New Orleans for 3 years and *did* get pregnant there! But I put a ring on my baby's daddy and made him pack his bags and move to Beverleeeee.. err, Mississippeeeee. :P - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 08:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree with your analysis of the oil-slicked ocean. The Emerald Coast was more like the Eros Coast. You were lucky to locate your baby's daddy. I've made 7 appearances on the Maury Povich show to find out the DNA results of my baby's potential fathers...but I have yet to locate the proper trick. Banging 27 guys in one weekend was awesome probably a bad idea.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 08:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
27 a bad idea? No, just 1 or 2 would have been a bad idea. 27 is one hell of a party and I would have liked to have seen the pics! - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 08:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thank god i didn't have a digital camera back then...not because of blackmail worries, but because i'd be posting them all over manhunt. remind me at some point to fill you in on some of the S.D. stories. hint: if you screw on the balcony of OZ, you WILL get beads...lots of them.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 09:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I was going to respond to your comment about a young gay cub by linking to a picture of one. When i did a Google image search with those three words (young gay cub), for some reason one of the pictures was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Maybe there really ARE gays in Iran.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I have nominated a couple of categories for deletion, namely the Christian Wikipedians and American Wikipedians. I'm sure they will be deleted per clear precedent established when we purged Misplaced Pages of those pesky homosexuals, who clearly did not want to collaborate, but were instead only interested in using this noble project for their sleazy sexual social networking purposes. Jeffpw (talk) 09:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Hmmmm. Both categories were closed by an admin as speedy keeps. Does this seem just the teensiest bit hypocritical to anyone? Jeffpw (talk) 10:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
As far as American Wikipedians is concerned, it was up for deletion like 2 weeks ago and survived so that one was too soon for sure. Christian Wikipedians on the other hand.. well, who knew Armageddon would begin on Misplaced Pages as the gay angels and the xtian angels duked it out. O_o Seriously though, Jc37 makes a good point about all of the religion cats needing to be nominated, not just one. And so I will do such because I have been thinking this needed to be done a long time ago. No just because of the gay cats but because of the precedent and the collaboration issues. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 11:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm watching with interest to see what happens. While I always knew there were homophobes on Misplaced Pages, I was not sure about the claimed institutionalized homophobia. After today I need no more convincing. :-S Enjoy the Superbowl when it starts. We don't have it on tv here. Jeffpw (talk) 12:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
There is a place on Earth where you can't get the Superbowl? Oy... That is terrible. 16:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Nope. The Africa Cup is on ESPN, the English Premier League is on Sport 1, and ESPN has hockey. I'm actually not bothered, since the Chargers didn't make it all the way. I just count my blessings that we finally got the Oscar telecast. Last year was the first time we broadcast it here. Jeffpw (talk) 16:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Holland. While we're very advanced when it comes to drugs, prostitution, gay rights and euthanasia, we're woefully behind the times with the things that really matter. :-( Jeffpw (talk) 16:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
En wij willen je graag zien, APK! Maar wacht tot dat het weer beter wordt. Het is vreselijk koud op dit moment. Jeffpw (talk) 16:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Have you stopped woot woot'ing yet? ;-) Thanks for fixing the wikilink on the Navy Yard/Near Southeast article. Do you think there's enough mention about the gay presence that used to be in the area? I don't want to talk about it too much or else it won't look NPOV.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
WOOOOOOOoooot! I've got a special love for the Giants since Eli Manning was also the QB at my alma mater, Ole Miss. On the article, I think it's enough. The only thing I see that will no doubt result in the info being removed eventually, is that there aren't any sources especially for the line which was one of the largest clubs between New York City and Atlanta, Georgia. since that's a pretty bold, fact based statement. ;] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 11:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
True, although it was the case. I don't have a source for it, so I'll remove it. But there were at least 2-3,000 people there every weekend...and up to 5,000 on special event nights. Where's the hot guy in the corner? I don't see him. Lemme go slip a lil something in his drink.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
p.s. click the 'something' link and note the vandalism. I'm on it like APK on dick.
How do I register the pix at the bottom of the Southeast page? I've spoken to the woman who took the pix (she created the www.jdland.com i reference in the article) and she told me I have permission to use them...plus her website states it's ok to use them. When I click on the pix, it says they'll be deleted in one week. That's not good.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I've fixed them. When you uploaded them, you didn't choose a license. No license, no keepy. Also you'll notice in the summary I provided the link to where the web site gives permission. On the Southeast article itself, I added the attribution to the photos because the woman says on her web site's permission page that people can use the photos as long as they are non-profit (which Misplaced Pages is) and a link back. So I did that. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 12:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
The creator of the website, Jacqueline, e-mailed me this morning. She said:
Looks like you did a lot of work! Nicely done. A few quick things:
1. I shouldn't get credit for the Half Street Rendering, nor can I give the rights for it to be used. You'd need to contact Monument Realty (http://www.halfstreet.com).
2. You'll probably want to remove the anticipated start/completion dates for both Canal Park and Diamond Teague Park, as I'll be removing them from my own pages. There's been no movement on either of them, and Spring 2008 is just moments away.
3. I'd prefer that the reference link under the two photos not be to the photo-use.cfm page, which seems kinda tacky. I'd link to the page the photos actually appear on:
On the Half Street rendering, I wouldn't bother messing with the image page itself. Just remove the photo credit from it in the actual Southeast article and then leave it alone. haha *wink wink* ;] - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 14:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
When I looked at your user page and saw "cock" written over and over again, I thought maybe you were trying a bold, new approach to social networking. Alas, vandals had struck again.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 14:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
In recognition of your excellent anti-vandal efforts, I present you with this barnstar. Keep up the great work. Lradrama14:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Authors blanking own pages
Hi - a word of advice: when a page is blanked it's usually vandalism and reverting is the right thing to do; but it's best to look first at the history because sometimes, as with ADVA Optical Networking just now, the author has blanked his own page. (He'd written an advertising piece; I'd explained to him that WP isn't for ads.) In that case, the thing to do is to add {{db-author}}, which asks for a speedy G7 "author requests deletion or has blanked the page". Apologies if I'm telling you things you know already! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
lmao Seriously?? Unrepentant incivility?? I didn't realize this was a church and I had to repent. Talk about excessive.. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 19:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
I'm sure no one will have the balls to go against the man, but seriously.. a week, for pointing out that I wasn't the only one being uncivil? It's not like I'm some newbie around here. Not even a final warning? Policy doesn't have to be followed by the man himself?
Decline reason:
The fact that you are not a newbie is precisely why you shouldn't require a final warning; there is no "but he did it first" clause to our civility policy. You were asked to remain civil, yet continued unabated, with a less than civil tone even while requesting to be unblock. When the block expires, please return to editing with a more civil approach. If you wish to further contest this block, please contact the blocking admin (Jimbo Wales) directly by email. - auburnpilottalk19:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Indeed, but rules for blocking/warning don't prevent you from improving or maintaining Misplaced Pages so they shouldn't be ignored, even by him. Not to mention blocking is not supposed to be used as punishment (or retaliation)- ✰ALLSTAR✰ 19:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
To AuburnPilot: Regardless of me not being a newbie, he didn't follow the rules for blocking/warning. But I guess that's ok when you're the man. I'm sure it came down to me having pissed one of his buddies off. Someone as busy as him doesn't just stumble upon my talk page like that. Oh well, not like it hurts me or anything. It just doesn't give a fair view when the founder of Misplaced Pages can't seem to follow the rules himself. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 20:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Dude - take a chill? I'd go to bat for you, but this isn't the first time you've been blocked for incivility. You're a great asset to the project - take the time off, read a book, enjoy some non-Misplaced Pages time. This isn't punishment - this is to point out the benefit of goodwill among editors (which is the whole point of WP:NPA / WP:CIVIL). We want you to contribute, but we want you to do so in a way that doesn't remind people of other uncivil editors =D =D -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 20:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Always the voice of reason, you are. That's why I admire you. Unfortunately I took the WP:BAIT and it got me in trouble, although excessive trouble. I honestly don't mind the week if it weren't for the fact that I've got a good bit of wiki-work in progress and now all of that is on hold for a week. That's enough to just make me want to walk away from this "hobby" for real. Anyway, thanks for your words. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 21:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Jimbo's been kind enough to reduce your block down to 24 hours. When your block has expired, please refrain from making attacks like you did which got you the original block - they will not be accepted. We all have disagreements here, the best thing is to rise above them and show others that you are better than what has been suggested of you, rather than resorting to tit for tat. Ryan Postlethwaite21:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Satyr, Benji, Jeff, PreachersKid.. whoever comes by and sees this.. Please revert the redirect vandalism by 76.26.107.4 on this article. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 21:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
(sigh) So much vandalism and weird stuff like that I didn't even remember doing it until I looked through the history. Benjiboi23:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
On a lighter note
I want you to watch the video found at the top of my user page. After watching it, I felt a heavenly annointing throughout my body, and my body expelled all of the demons that had been building up since lunch. For those of you that might read this after I change it (I have a new video everyday), here's the link. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Well add this one tomorrow (NSFW). And alright for the IP vandalism driveby. Me thinks it's the sock of whomever sent Jimbo here in the first place. I looked at the IP's contribs and nothing that IP has edited have I been involved in. Unfortunately I can't request a checkuser without knowing who the user was, or a suspected user name, that sent Jimbo here. It's obvious the IP was trying to bait me, probably mad that my block was reduced to 24 hours. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 23:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
As soon as I clicked the link, I hit the back button. I watched the 2 girls 1 cup & 4 girls fingerpaint videos, but I've heard about that one and APK can't stomach it. I love watching the reaction clips on youtube though.AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Argh there should be a rule against links to pain olympics videos. I didn't look this time, but when I watched it before... I could tell that at least part of the 'pain' intended by the title is mine for watching. 2girls1cup is gross, but nowhere near the same level. 23:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
All the nastiness is hosted on the same server. www.hai2u.com, www.blink-182.com, www.lemonparty.com... Goatse is on there as well, that probably isn't even all of them. —Preceding comment was added at 00:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
