What is "ff"?
You deleted the page I was fixing (Harvard Graphics) with the comment "deleted -- content was ff". What is "ff"?
Also just curious, is this (editing a user's discussion page) a correct way to contact people? Also, just curious, did you come to the (obscure) page I was working on by sheer coincidence, or do you cruise pages being edited, or what? Thanks.
Arbitration - subject: User:Mike Storm
I was just wondering if you could please post your vote on the subject of User:Mike Storm on Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration. I would like to get this matter dealt with with quickly, but you're probably busy so please take your time. Thanks! ] 17:07, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Malicious Deletion Attempt=
Hello. Sorry for the imposition, but I thought you might be interested to note that an article you supported in the past on vfd has been listed again under malicious circumstances - the 3rd such attempt in 7 months. Please feel free to review the discussion and cast your vote as you feel appropriate: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Atlantium --Gene_poole 10:28, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Athos
- As for Athos, Greeks typically (at least in modern Greek) simply refer to mountains using the name, as typically only well-known mountains are referred to by name. Hence, the mountain is simply "Athos" (similarly, what would be called "Mount Olympus" in English is simply "Olymbos" in Greek). I suppose something like "to vouno Athos" ("the mountain 'Athos'") would be acceptable as well when context was unclear, but it is certainly not common. Delirium 07:43 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hello. This acknowledgement comes very late, but thanks for the explanation. Michael Hardy 00:44, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Ellas/Ellada
Hello. In view of your ability to clarify the situation concerning the name Athos, maybe you'd know the answer to this one too: During the recent TV coverage of the Olympics in Athens and on some web sites I find Greece referred to sometimes as Ellas and other times as Ellada. I guessing that the former is nominative and the latter is accusative. Is that it? One page on the web that lists the participating countries in Greek gives Ellada. But I'd have thought the nominative would be used by default. Does that make any sense? Michael Hardy 17:05, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Zero0000 sysop abuse claim
Delirium wrote in wikiEN-l:
- That's an odd position---you say he's making a dishonest claim that the
material is from a book, yet you have not actually checked whether it's in the book or not? How do you know it's dishonest then?
- -Mark
Well said! The book currently is available in Hebrew only (to the best of my knowledge). A language that Zero0000 does not read despite residing in the area. He asks Danny to translate for him when he wants to read something. Evidence of this is available on Zero0000's talk page. Lance6Wins 19:09, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"Dishonesty"
I don't get mad easily (not once so far on Misplaced Pages) but you pushed the wrong button buster. There was nothing "dishonest" about my marking an added return as a minor edit. No text was changed, no secret agenda, no POV, nothing. (As to the actual matter in question, your browser may show a huge space; mine, without that return, shows the stub text crammed up against the text of the articles.) — Bill 23:23, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Reverting news
Hello Delirium, could you please explain the rationale behind reverting my revert for the same reason I reverted the article in the first place? It seems to me that either we remove all the entries that do not link to an updated article, or we change the guidelines. As it is now there is no consistency and the guidelines are blatantly ignored. The Iraq article you removed received a major update (albeit it to a list type article), and was listed for 2 days, so it seems to me it should have stayed. Regards, ] 15:59, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

US Election issues
Do you and maybe a couple of others working on this article want to meet on say wiki IRC, to discuss it, so we can try and mutually agree a consensus on its progress? FT2 00:18, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
Actually Exit Polling Is Reliable
There are 2 issues, exit polling is historically reliable, but in any given situation like this one data may be wrong. Which is why it is important to figure out why there were exit polling vs actual results discrepancies (assuming there was no fraud) so exit polling techniques can be improved for the next election. So I believe you should have said it's the data that may be wrong for one reason or another, not exit polling in total.
Trend
- Do you have any sources to verify this alleged trend?
- Also "however" and "corrected" are subtle pov.
- And in general statistical analysis should not be "corrected". They should be done on raw data, and synthesized afterwards.

Keeping "In the news" NPOV and credible
Following various attempts to add partisan and fringe stories to Template:In the news, I've proposed a new criterion to keep such stuff out. Could you please take a look at Misplaced Pages talk:In the news section on the Main Page and let me know what you think? -- ChrisO 19:12, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
list of exponential topics
- This list does nothing that categories don't do, as it's just a list of pages with membership in the semantic category. I can see an argument for keeping lists with a particular sort of organization, but if it's just a flat "on the list" or "not on the list" distinction, categories are equivalent and more maintainable. --Delirium 19:36, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
This list now does something that categories cannot do. I have added invisible links so that edits to discussion pages will also appear when one clicks on "related changes". Even lists that cannot do what categories cannot do have the potential to do so with some editing. Not only what I just did, but also consider list of combinatorics topics or list of geometry topics, in which the lists are organized. Categories cannot be organized -- only alphabetized.

Wikinews demo up and running
Hi!
I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later.
You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles.
If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.--Eloquence* 01:58, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
Arb against Ta bu
Can I ask why you withdrew the request, and what specifically made you want to place it? -- Netoholic @ 22:57, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
Lilypond
You're right. Lilypond as a markup language leaves a great deal to be desired. It is difficult to understand even for people with both a musical and a software background, and as you point out has a great deal of typographical cruft that has nothing to do with the musical idea being presented.
However, it is the best of the free solutions that we have today, and the situation is unlikely to change. There is a "music XML" project that is, at best, early stage, and that is encumbered by copyright. There are the widely used proprietary formats. And there are some "way out there" standards being proposed, that appear to me unlikely to come to fruition.
There are several barriers to a standardized music markup, chief among them being that proper music notation really can't be reduced to a simple grammar. There are so many instrument-specific, period-specific, and genre-specific things to portray that it's hard. I play organ, and organ notation uses heel and toe markings that, as far as I know, are not used for any other instrument (except maybe pedal piano). Accordion notation is another similar can of worms. This leaves aside more common instruments, like piano and strings and voice, that each have their own unique (albeit well understood) notational conventions.
Anyway, you probably already know most or all this, but the point is that with all the complexity, and the market fragmentation, and the small size of the classical music community, and the fact that music publishing is not particularly profitable, it is unlikely that any future standards effort will be more successful than the previous ones.
So we are left with Lilypond, which with all its shortcomings for what we want to do, is the best available and likely to remain so for quite some time.
The Uninvited Co., Inc. 23:16, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I noted in your abstain comment that you acknowledged that punishment for violating 3RR is somewhat "retroactive". I fully agree, and wonder why then you support the extremely harsh remedies for my past violation of this "rule" of hitherto uncertain status in the earlier proposed rulings. VeryVerily 11:13, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Your status on the Arbitration Committee
When I originally raised this question, you commented that "I would have resigned already if I was under the impression that there were suitable candidates interested in the position." I understand that the experience with the last election persuaded you that this was not the case.
However, discussions of the current election have continued with at least the possibility in mind that your position could be up for election. As the election approaches, I think it would be best to settle this question so that we know for sure how many positions are being elected, and I have brought the issue up again at Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2004#Time to make some decisions.
It seems clear that this election is rather different from the last one, and that more qualified candidates have come forward in response to the additional openings. But obviously everyone will have their own opinions on the current slate of candidates and whether there are actually enough good ones to fill all of the potential vacancies. Accordingly, with your earlier statement in mind, I wanted to ask you if you would simply comment on whether you believe resigning at this point would be suitable or not. I'm not trying to push your decision in either direction, just looking to get some closure on the issue, and I'll respect and support your choice either way. --Michael Snow 19:08, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...
- ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
- ...all articles...
using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Misplaced Pages is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles.
- Nutshell: Misplaced Pages articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}}. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. -- Ram-Man 18:02, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Abusive behaviour
Could you take a look at this diff

When Fennec asked me my opinion about what changes should occur on the Misplaced Pages, I honestly stated that I feel Jimbo should resign. What business is that of yours? What business is that of the arbitration committee? Has Fennec complained? What possible reasoning could you have to vote that I should be in any way censured for such a statement? Lirath Q. Pynnor
Is it too much for you to answer my questions? Is it too much for you to state just what exactly I did that you consider "petty vandalism"? Surely, the accidental insertion of "da" into an article is not something you can honestly feel to be vandalism. Which raises the question, of where do you feel I committed vandalism? Lirath Q. Pynnor
Herschelkrustofsky
Hi Mark, I'm writing about a decision made by the Arbitration Committee regarding activism on behalf of Lyndon LaRouche in Misplaced Pages; see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche/Proposed decision.
If you have time, would you mind taking a look at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche/Proposed decision? Herschelkrustofsky, who is one of the LaRouche supporters the decision involved, has initiated a query of the Arbitration Committee for clarification of the ruling (under Regarding this Arbcom ruling, as it applies to the dispute between SlimVirgin and HerschelKrustofsky).
I agree that clarification is needed, because I feel the wording of the ruling has left loopholes that the LaRouche supporters are exploiting. I have therefore written up a long response to Herschelkrustofsky's query and have requested clarification from the Committee on three specific points, as I feel this is an opportunity to put the matter to rest. I wondered whether you'd be prepared to comment on the page. If you don't have the time or inclination, however, don't worry about it. Many thanks, Slim 05:25, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
RFC pages on VfD
Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted?

One Question
In most legal situations, policemen whose conduct is undergoing criminal investigation tend to be temporarily suspended from duty.
Since Fred Bauder is currently undergoing arbitration himself as to his neutrality or accurate reportage, should he actually be allowed to take an active part in other cases?

Agia Sofia
I find it hard to believe that an intelligent person could be making such asinine edits. Of course Agia Sofia could mean "Saint Sophia", but the fact is that it doesn't. Sophia is a very minor saint and I have never seen it suggested that the basilica was named for her. Its name is the Church of the Holy Wisdom and that's all that needs to be said.

issues about school articles
In November 2003, there was a VfD debate over Sunset High School (Portland). The debate was archived under Talk:Sunset High School (Portland). What to do with the article is still being contested and has been recently re-nominated for VfD at Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Sunset High School (Portland).
I am writing to you because you have participated in such debates before. There still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school. My hope is that a real consensus can come out of the debate, and a real policy can take shape. Take part if you are so willing. Kingturtle 02:34, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sexual compulsion
Hi, I noticed you redirected Sexual Compulsion to Hypersexuality. These are not the same things. It's too early for me to think about the difference, but it's something like: sexual compulsion or sexual addiction can be related to many, many things like drug use or, an unhappy childhood, etc., while hypersexuality is associated with manic disorder. However, sexual compulsion is often a symptom of hypersexuality, although is not necessarily an indicator of hypersexuality, as the physiological aspects of sexual desire are not always present in sexual compulsion.
Vfd: Fictional websites in Doctor Who
Can you have a look at this? It's been hanging around since May 18, and I think the proposer didn't put it on the VfD page and that's why no one's noticed the consensus. I don't want to do anything as I am an interested party. Thanks. --khaosworks 21:51, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Hellenic Genocide
I take issue with your arbitrary decision to re-instate this article. Please discussa the the talk page. DJ Clayworth 17:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Maybe Hellenic Genocide is a little too public to have this talk. I'll restate my case here.
1) Misplaced Pages:Deletion policy says that a 2/3 majority is considered consensus by some; in this case the votes were 3:1 in favour of deletion.
2) If you disagree with a deletion, there is a policy for dealing with it, at Misplaced Pages:Votes for undeletion. You should follow it.
Please don't second-guess other admins. Also please don't say that things were deleted 'improperly'; it carries the suggestion that the rules weren't followed. DJ Clayworth 17:57, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. No hard feelings. Nobody can keep up with all policies here. I'm going to delete the page now, and since it's been the subject of repeated recreations I'm going to create a 'blank' page and protect it. That won't affect your recreation of a redirect, when you get to it. Happy editing. DJ Clayworth 18:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

slight vandal problem
Hi, I choose you mostly at random as an administrator to help deal with a problem. The user, Vorash, has been making some POV edits to the article on Italo Disco. He also re-writes or erases things right after I add them to the page. We have been having discussions but he seems quite immature and doesn't compromise. He also makes many small edits in a row, leaving the history page full of a long list. I, along with other users, have told him to use the "show preview" button in order to combine his edits into one update, but he insists that he can't. His English is not so good either and he constantly adds incoherent sentences to the article. He also recently deleted the external links I added (which have been in the article for a long period) and replaced them with cheap websites that are not of good quality, and I've told him that Misplaced Pages is not supposed to be a web-directory. Anyway, I could keep going on, but if you take a look at the article and look at different versions in it's history, you'll see what I'm talking about. I'd like you to block him from editing just this article if possible. Or at least give him a warning and remind him how to edit correctly, and follow the rules. I realize Italo Disco is an obscure genre, so maybe another administrator is more suited to deal with this issue. But let me know what can be done. Thank you. - Milk 05:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- User:Milk doesn't tell the truth, i didn't rewrite or erase things right after he added them to the page. I always try to discuss disputed issues on talk page.

Now there's a POV term. I see that you participated in the mailing list discussion of the Edmond Wollmann/Astrological Consulting matter back in early May. In some respects, Romath is similar. In case you never heard of her (I never had) Romath is (apparently) a perennial candidate for Usenet "Kook of the Year" just like Wollman. Now Romath herself has joined us to edit her article. Yes, wikihumor ensues. I am not very familiar with Usenet, and I'm not sure what the consensus is on handling Usenet characters. But we do have a character who needs handling, in case you have any interest in these things. Cheers, -Willmcw July 3, 2005 10:39 (UTC)

The page (as it stands now) move can not be undone due to editing of the original page (Macedonian Slavs and Macedonians Slavs Talk page ) so an admin’s help is needed.
I would like to draw your attention to the matter and respectfully ask you to undo the move, considering that you are aware of the poll and the whole issue.
Thank you.
P.S. It should be noted that Bomac attempted another bold (to say at least) page move on 14:14, 4 October 2005 Bomac m (Macedonian Slavs moved to Macedonian Slavs (Macedonians)). -- DanielK 16:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
