Tip of the day... Upgrade Recent Changes in my preferences Have you tried the Advanced options in your Recent changes user preferences settings? It requires a modern browser to work and is disabled by default. Unlike the normal "recent changes" page, these options can summarize edits to the same page and let you dynamically expand and collapse the list items. For multiple edits to the same page, it also provides a single "changes" link which will show you a view of the differences (diffs) between these combined edits and the last non-recent revision. After changing the Advanced options, the "Recent changes" list takes effect immediately and can be reversed by unchecking any option.

Alan Sues Page

→ In re: Alan Sues (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I would like to create an Alan Sues page. Alan Sues is the only cast member of Laugh In not having a page, and as he is listed in several other pages in Misplaced Pages there is a need for an Alan Sues page. As this has been tried before, then several times deleted, I feel the need to clear this with another Misplaced Pages editor. Since you are the last editor listed as having deleted the page, I am posting this here. Thanks in advance. --VictorC (talk) 16:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

The version I deleted in June showed up in the CSD category with a {{db-g12}} tag as a copyright infringement of www.webpan.com. It had been deleted twice before: once as a copyvio (an earlier tag noted that the webpan copyvio was mirrored on brainyencyclopedia.com) and once for no indication of notability (after the copyvio text was removed) as per {{db-person}}. A version which demonstrates notability without copyright violations will not fall at the same hurdles. — Athaenara ✉ 22:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

It is absurd that if Colin Powell decided to edit a Misplaced Pages article pertaining to himself in order to make it more accurate that you would delete it because it was written by himself. You seem enjoy censoring people and the truth I know no other term but to call you a ravaging monarchist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtsports92 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Swiss tourism and hotels

Dear Athaenara

Thank you for your hint regarding my articles "Swiss Quality Hotels International" and "Quality Label for Swiss Tourism". Please be so kind and advice specifically what is to correct. The content of the articles are just facts, exactly the way they have to be for wikipedia. The text is written in an encyclopedic way and the references are mentioned. So what do I have to do, specifically, to avoid the impression of "Conflict of interest". Thank you --Swordfish2008 (talk) 15:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

As per {{uw-coi}}, an "impression" of COI is less important than editing in compliance with the neutral point of view policy. DGG's post on User talk:Swordfish2008#promotional will very likely answer any remaining questions you may have. — Athaenara ✉ 08:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Arbroath

→ See also: Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Coach3177

I am concerned at your deletions and edits pertaining to the Lifeboat at Arbroath, both yours and others are not from Arbroath and have no idea what an integral part of Arbroath it is.
I have entered into the COI discussion with you but as yet no reply, I have no issues with the angling points you raised. But I would like to make you aware that I am not the same person you refer to as wikadm the most important thing I need you to know about the lifeboat is that it is a charity run as a non commercial enterprise by volunteers the website link is there the same as others, which is to link to the non commercial site to give more information about the voluntary rescue service and to allow those in the local community access to safety information.

I noticed that you tagged User talk:FrancisLightHouse2 as a sockpuppet of User:FrancisLightHouse. I agree to it and had filed a checkuser request. I am now about to file a sockpuppetry case. If you can, please monitor their edits. Alexius08 (talk) 02:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

You should run for ArbCom. Jehochman 20:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I should? Say what? — Athaenara ✉ 20:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

You have very keen analytic skills, great resistance to trolling, and a tendency to avoid wikipolitics. You have a female username, and females are under-represented on the committee. Jehochman 20:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Well. Hmm. So, this would mean that I would have to be nominated, whether by another user or myself, and if elected I would have to subscribe to a mailing list? (that last would annoy me most ;-)

I am quite exceptionally pleased when analytic skills, resistance to trolling, and wikipolitic-o-phobia are commended, but I don't know about the female bit, really. Of course I am a woman, and when I was an undergraduate math major I heard similar arguments (sometimes negatively, e.g. the "you'll have it easy because of affirmative action/PC quotas/reverse discrimination" sort of thing). Being far more enchanted by math than by feminism, I became a bit averse to the issue and I guess I am still.

Truly, I'm thinking no, but when you make suggestions I'm inclined to think they have a worthy basis, so I will give it more thought. — Athaenara ✉ 05:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Think yes. --Regents Park (bail out your boat) 21:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I had feared that answering questions would take a long time, but it was not all that difficult. I decided to answer most off the top of my head, in order to provide a candid look at my thinking. In some sense, it is more authentic to answer quickly than to try to calculate how to please the most people. The worst that happens is not "winning". We need more people to volunteer who are not interested in power. Jehochman 19:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Paul Pantone

Hello,

Thanks for taking a look, I do remember when Pantone was locked away. I also added 2 sources. They come from further down the article. I don't think my memory failed me. Now that it's been added to the article 3 times could you explain where Jan 2008 comes from? I find it to be rather confusing. It is wrong and I don't see any source?

Here is the link.
