Fancy a giggle?
I've used your name in vain (and stole your format too!) -- Francs2000 | Talk File:Uk flag large.png 20:56, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- It's not stealing (points to his PD license). Plus, User:Hallibut is also using the Ribbon bar format for his Misplaced Pages awards, so I am not alone in doing this. However, there are some ribbon bars that I have not drawn yet since I never got the award (like Minor Barnstar). But, I am glad you found and liked my format and that you are using it now.

Please clarify
Please clarify why you are reverting. There are clearly 9 popes in the category:German popes. I was the one who made the original counting back in March even before he became Pope, and who wrote that he was the 8th German pope, but I came the conclusion today that I might have left one out. Using the edit summary would be highly recommendable when you are reverting edits in the future. 83.109.158.244 03:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- I used the rollback feature and using that feature does not allow you to use an edit summary. The reason why I reverted is that we had the count at 8, and we have been dealing with vandalism all of the time. But, if you think nine is right, go ahead and change it and I will not revert you. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, the vandalism of the article is very disturbing. But I don't find it likely that the vandals would change that numbering. What I meant is that reverting manually with an explanation always is better unless you are dealing with very obvious vandalism (like the Palpatine images). 83.109.158.244 04:32, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Alright. I reverted back to your version, since you are right about the numbering. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

IFD
Hi Zach. Thanks for working on WP:IFD! A couple comments:
- You need to fix up Image:BreastsCF.JPG. Remember to remove the {{ifd}} tag for kept images! Also, I think it would be good to put a link to the deletion discussion in the talk page.
- More importantly, you deleted Image:Handj.jpg, though there were only 2 delete votes, and 3 keep votes.
dbenbenn | talk 14:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- I mainly deleted the handjob image since it was an orphan. Also, I will remember what you said next time. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 18:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/WikiProject Wikipedians for Decency
Thanks for reverting the anon who closed this VfD in my name. I just wish the anon had closed it properly as no consensus defaulting to keep instead of a straight keep consensus. --Allen3 03:02, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Page History
Hi Zach. It seems that when you moved the BoNM to the Commons, we ended up loosing the page history as well. You are more knowledgeable than me on this, do you believe we could restore the history without undoing your move? I feel it would be important to get the history back for accurate author attribution — right now, only Admins can visualize the old history, as the "79 deleted edits". Redux 12:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- I copied everything that was posted before I deleted the image and pasted it when I deleted the image. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 13:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- I know, and indeed there were no problems with the page itself. I was talking about the page history, which has disappeared (now it starts on August 21, and at this time has only three edits listed in it — all that had been recorded until then was lost due to the deletion). I was thinking that we needed to preserve the complete Page History for the sake of accurate author attribution. But I've given it some extra thought, and now I'm not so sure if this is so important, since this is not an article and the stuff written in there is not really relevant for practical purposes. I'm not completely sure about it though. Redux 22:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- Personally, I am not worried about my edit counts. If you wish to restore the page itself, thats fine with me. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- No, your idea to move the image to the Commons makes sense. And as I said, I'm no longer so sure that preserving the record of the Page History is necessary (or important) for a image/award page that only lists "trivia" (if we can call it that) about the award. My first instinct was that the record would need to be preserved, until I thought wait a minute, that's not an article, and the edits are not even pertaining to the image's status. We can leave it alone, I guess. Besides, if anyone wants to see the old History, an Admin can provide them with the information. No big deal. Redux 23:28, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians for censorship
You might want to check out the discussion page of the recently closed VFD on the Censorship Wikiproject. Misplaced Pages talk:Votes for deletion/WikiProject Wikipedians for Decency. Two users/ admins seem intent on abusing their admin powers should anyone renominate that wikiproject for deletion in the future (ie: 2 months or more from now). Both were ardent supporters of the project.Gateman1997 20:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- I am not touching that project again. Look at what I caused with just the nomination of the project. However, if you do want a suggestion, if the project is inactive, place a historical tag on it. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Wikiportals
Hi Zach. We are in a process to start nominating some unmaintained portals for deletion. Actually, we've started w/ Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Log/Today#Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal.2FSweden. I've started a new process for that (creating new templates such as WPfd instead of Vfd or Cfd for deleting portals following the process used w/ categories. That would be great so we won't mix the process of deleting portals with the Vfd process used for articles. I am almost done but need your help as you were involved in the discussion Misplaced Pages talk:Wikiportal#Only create a portal if you intend to maintain it. Your help will be much appreciated. Cheers - Svest 22:52, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, if there is ever a time where the Belarus portal is up for WPfD, you will not get an objection from me. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Abusive edit
I see this edit to User:Agriculture's talk page. Is this in keeping with administrative excellence? Just curious if you can explain...I may be misunderstanding.--MONGO 08:45, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- I was annoyed at him for telling us that he is leaving and telling us to f... off, then come back three days later to stir up more trouble. He has done that at least one or two times before. So, that is why I wrote that blunt message. Of course, an admin should not do that and an adnim should always try to show good faith, but frankly, my good faith is about to be lost (hence the break). Zscout370 (Sound Off) 13:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, tempers were high...but put aside your distain for the project and put yourself in his shoes...he was only trying to act in good faith by creating the project and it is highly unlikely that it ever would have posed any real threat to anything...and admittedly (not that you did any of it), the commentary with almost every delete vote, vandalism to his user space, people using sock accounts to post the decency tag all over the place to make the thing look ridiculous certainly was a mitigating reason for his hostility...not that I agree with his response, just that I have understanding for it.--MONGO 00:21, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I also caught a lot of heat for putting the project for deletion. While I did not do the sockpuppetry, vandalism and all of that stuff. I know why he was angry. Personally, I think he should have used another method to suggest change in the Wiki on our image policy and I would not have wanted it deleted. But at the time, when I saw the project, it was actively trying to do something that I thought was circumventing the rules (mainly the Not censored part). Plus, as I told folks, most of the images he and his group put up for deletion were deleted due to other things, like it is not being used. While in hindsight that the edit I did was harsh, but I personally think that if Ag wants to leave the project, he can do so, but leaving then coming back to cause a bit of a problem was not helping his cause. I am just glad the VFD is over, but me and Ag might have started something that will never be stopped. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

- Ok ZScout3338, I wantged tyo email ytou and here it is./ I don't have problem wiuth gyou as ma person, or anything. You were just being an ass on my page and stuff. I think you're ans awesome guy. If I want to stay or leave, it's my own fuckiung nbusiness not yours. Okay? We aon the level? Ok. Well so, this is how it is. Misplaced Pages is trash. Too many trolols. You're not thought ok? You're awesome, just a bit misguioded and mean sometimes. Anyways, so it's like I didn't like what Redworlf was doing. He was blaming the A-G_I_R_C_U_**I**ture guy, who was a vandal. And he's an ADMIN! You get it? He should do his research ok? He's su[pposed to be a person ion a position of power? He needs to rresearch his facts thats all. Still, no bad, he's cool. He's just irresponsible. Anywas, I'm goinna go now. I hate Misplaced Pages, but I'm, in a better mood thanks to Kentucky bourbon, and so I'm posting to let you know the following:

OK. Ag, email would have been fine (just click on "E-mail this user"). Well, every admin screws up every so often and yes, we do have problems with troll. Though I am on some break, I still have to block a few people in clear-cut cases. Well, I admit I was harsh, but I hope this passes over very soon. I think this break, along with classes starting, is helping me calm down. Though, I freely admit, once becoming admin, my attitude changed a bit. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 16:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Leaving Misplaced Pages
As someone who was formerly involved with one of my disputes, I thought you would like to know that I'm no longer editing on Misplaced Pages after yet another hotly contested debate over another article. In the mean time, you might want to know that the Jesse James Garrett article was vandalized again yesterday and the work that was so carefully discussed previously was removed. Feel free to leave it how it is or revert it. I just don't care anymore. I just thought you might want to know. Good luck with wikipedia. - Sleepnomore 20:51, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. Personally, I am not going to touch the page since I was blind going in, and still confused. Plus, I caused some problems recently, so I am laying low for a bit. While it is sad to see you go, just stay well. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 21:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
User talk:இ
I guess we have a "unique" user here. He/She hasn't made any detrimental or useful contributions yet, and I couldn't find anything blantanly wrong with "இ" as a username at Misplaced Pages:Username. What do you think? Sango123 23:51, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
