This is for all your hard work in just the past week, kicking out the most annoying sockpuppet ever to ruin a Disney article! Your diligence has definitely made it a lot easier for the rest of us to actually do some editing. Cheers, and keep up the good work! Cactusjump (talk)

You recent addded an entry to my talk page. Could you please state explicitly what you deleted, and what specifically is the basis for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikemaccana (talkcontribs)

Ok!

I will not continue but can you please let me have the code back to the article i was almost done! Also if it is illegal do not get mad at me. Like i said more than once i'm writing a paper sorry if that broke any rules :(

Accidental deletion of Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resorts involving page moves

Moved to User talk:Emmette Hernandez Coleman#Question for administrator 2

Question

Earlier today I closed an Mfd (Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Allsterecho talk redirects) that I had voted in. Usually you shouldn't do this, however, the result was "speedy delete" and was carried out by Graeme Bartlett. Obviously, as I am not an admin, I didn't delete it myself. I only closed it because Graeme seemed to have forgotten. Do you think this will come back to bite me later on? -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 04:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay, thanks. :) As to Bambifan, I appreciate the accolades, but I'm not sure that I did anything to deserve them. Maybe it was Collectian? Or perhaps I did and forgot, as this has happened in the past. Either way, I appreciate it. :) -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 04:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Haha, perhaps I was. Today has been crazy and I've been all over the place, so I probably just don't remember. I've had the privilege of running into several of his socks, and must agree with you, that I do pity him, as he's more sad than anything else. Haven't seen you around lately but hope to see you more active in the future as you are quite an asset to this site. Cheers! -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 04:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


XOP Networks Page Deletion

The recently created wikipedia page for XOP Networks was subject to speedy deletion. I justified the existence of the page by saying it was not created for promotion or vandalism. Please let me know if it is safe to begin editing the page under this new user name which more clearly identifies me as an individual, not a company associate. (I am not employed by XOP Networks, nor do I have any intention of promoting their products.) I simply wanted to begin their encyclopedia page so that others may learn about the company's history, founding, and miscellaneous facts. Again, I just want to know if I can safely make edits to this page under my new user name.

Thanks, Chirag Gupta

hello..

The World Wasn't Meant page deletion

Hello. I recently created a page for the webcomic The World Wasn't Meant. I believe it was deleted for lack of third party links/information which would verify its significance. I have links to various third party articles (reviews, etc) that I was hoping to include, but was unsure where to include them. I am new to editing Misplaced Pages. Is there some way to include these third party links, even if you are not specifically mentioning them in the body of the article? Perhaps they go in the reference section?

Thanks.

Adrenalin-NY Deleted Page

Hi,

I was hoping to continue to work on my page. I have not had time to include my references. Is it that as soon as I start a page I have to finish it.

I was under the impression that I could create a page and then return to edit it at a later date. In any case I am hoping that you can reinstate my page so that I can continue working on it.

thx for the help

thank you if u need help ask him

MT6235 Processor

I was just going to add to the content when you wiped it out. There is no information on this processor on the Internet and aggregating it is a huge task.

Trying to do a favor for my fellow man here, I posted what little I had at first.

I have more now:

MT6235consists of the following subsystems: Microcontroller Unit (MCU) Subsystem: includes an ARM926EJ-S RISC processor and its accompanying memory management and interrupt handling logics; Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Subsystem: includes a DSP and its accompanying memory, memory controller, and interrupt controller; MCU/DSP Interface: the junction at which the MCU and the DSP exchange hardware and software information; Microcontroller Peripherals: includes all user interface modules and RF control interface modules; Microcontroller Coprocessors: runs computing-intensive processes in place of the Microcontroller; DSP Peripherals: hardware accelerators for GSM/GPRS/EDGE channel codec; Multi-media Subsystem: integrates several advanced accelerators to support multi-media applications; Voice Front End: the data path for converting analog speech to and from digital speech; Audio Front End: the data path for converting stereo audio from an audio source; Baseband Front End: the data path for converting a digital signal to and from an analog signal from the RF modules; Timing Generator: generates the control signals related to the TDMA frame timing; and, Power, Reset and Clock Subsystem: manages the power, reset, and clock distribution inside MT6235.

From http://ryan.com.br/smf/index.php?topic=481.75;wap2 and http://blog.csdn.net/sergeycao/archive/2008/08/26/2832568.aspx

As well, I was going to do a writeup.

Why was this wiped out?

Immediate deletion of page

Hi,

Sorry to be a bother but I just created a page for a person in the media, Alex Hooper-Hodson and it was instantly deleted. I can provide the appropriate online references i.e. links to major newspapers sites and articles written by him to verify he falls into the category of a notable person. Other family members of his are on Misplaced Pages and he has a very similar career with appropriately important instances that can be referenced. I am not writing this entry due to knowing him or any other reason but just I heard he's finally stopped working at my favourite magazine and thought he deserved a Misplaced Pages entry for all his good work at my favourite magazine.

Can you advise how I should proceed?

Deletion of Buff Monster page

Hello. I am hoping you can explain to me why the page I began on the artist, Buff Monster, was immediately deleted. While I am aware that the article needed further citations, I would think a simple Google search on the artist's name and the list I included of his solo shows would at least position him for notability contemplation. There was no "contentious" or negative material, nor was the article written non-neutrally, so the complete deletion seems needlessly harsh. By Misplaced Pages's own policy (quoted below), time was not even allowed for users to contribute content to attempt to attain the acceptable standards (I'm guessing this includes further content and further citations).

As you can see, this is my first Misplaced Pages entry. There are a few other notable artists working in the field of toy art for whom I would like to contribute Misplaced Pages entries. My assumption--perhaps incorrect--was that other Misplaced Pages users or admins would see the couple coding/citation errors in this first entry and pitch in with correct tagging. Again, another assumption was that the page on Buff Monster would grow with information submitted by other Misplaced Pages users, but it "had to start somewhere."

I am not Buff Monster, nor have I actually ever physically met Buff Monster. I am just a fan and journalist of this genre of art. I'm hoping to recover the text I began on Buff Monster and start to contribute more. But how does complete deletion explain what I did wrong, and help me not make the same mistakes (and more work for you) in future article submissions?

Jeremy

Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed. If the entire page is substantially of poor quality, primarily containing contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced, then it may be necessary to delete the entire page as an initial step, followed by discussion.

Page deletion is normally a last resort. If a dispute centers around the suitability of the page for inclusion – for example, if there are doubts as to notability or the subject has requested deletion – then this is addressed at xFD rather than by summary deletion. Summary deletion in part or whole is relevant when the page contains unsourced negative material or is disparaging and written non-neutrally, and when this cannot readily be repaired or replaced to an acceptable standard. (Replacement might include a high quality older revision or high quality rewrite.)

The deleting administrator should be prepared to explain the deletion to other administrators, by e-mail if the material is sensitive; administrators and other editors who object to the deletion should bear in mind that the deleting admin may be aware of issues that others are not. Disputes may be taken to deletion review, but any protracted public discussion should be avoided for deletions involving sensitive personal material about living persons, particularly if it is negative. Such debates may be courtesy blanked upon conclusion.

Lorenzo Von Matterhorn

I notice you delete the image for Lorenzo Von Matterhorn. File:Lorenzo von matterhorn.jpg Perhaps there is an opportunity here. You are probably aware the page was a hoax made by the creators of the show How I Met Your Mother and although the image was deleted because permission was unknown perhaps the person who posted it can be asked to clarify since they must be connected with the show. Perhaps this is an opportunity to get a good fair use (or even better Creative Commons) image of Barney Stinson that can be used rather than an screenshot from an episode. Can the image still be retrieved and the user account that posted it be asked for further details? Since the image was deleted I see only your username and the deletion notice and I don't know if it is possible to go back and ask the user, perhaps you know?

BICRO

Hi, Ivan. I can restore it, but it will need a lot of cleanup. As it stands, it is highly promotional in nature and unsuitable for inclusion because of that. What I'll do is to restore it to a user subpage: User:Ivan Pakšec/BICRO

This will allow you to remove the promotional content and bring it more in line with the site's neutrality policy. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

PS: In order to release the content in the proper manner, please review this section. Thanks for asking and thanks for being nice. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


Hi, --PMDrive1061, I have made a some changes in a txt for BICRO. Changed txt is now on my user subpage.

Plese, can You now publish this article, I truly hope that txt is now in a line with sites neutrality policy. tnx Ivan Pakšec (talk) 13:11, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hi PMDrive, I'm kinda new to wikipedia but I'm getting the hang of it really fast. It's really awesome.. Um... anyways as I have been patrolling the Recent Changes, I see a lot of your edits blocking people and deleting pages. Are those admin-only edits like protecting a page? I think I'd like to do that kinda stuff too, if I can, but where are the buttons? Thanks Tommy (talk) 15:13, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Mentorship

PMDrive1061 -- You may recall inviting me here to feel free to ask anything.

The topic needing resolution is something to do with organizing? or structural planning?

This is a draft effort to use graphics as a tool in crafting a non-verbose response to Carcharoth's diffs here and here.

Please help me improve this with constructive criticism. What I construe as Carcharoth's main points are highlighted in yellow.

I plan to post the following in an ArbCom thread. Can it be made clearer? shorter? better?

If you please, I hope you will help resolve this situation by making a thoughtful comment at active ArbCom thread.

Arbitrator views and discussion -- Carcharoth's diffs

Note: The text highlighted in beige is already posted in the thread.

Arbitrator views and discussion
  • I note the comments of a few of the editors approached to act as mentors. I would like to know (a) how you will address differences amongst yourselves (a situation we have encountered in other mentoring situations); (b) what range of actions you are willing to undertake as individuals and as a group; (c) how the "group" will work when Tenmei is also receiving private advice from individuals not specifically included in the group of mentors. In answer to the question above, Tenmei's six-month topic ban on the subject of Tang Dynasty begins once the mentorship is approved. Risker (talk) 05:24, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
  • This can't move forward until Risker's questions above are answered. Could a clerk please notify the editors who need to comment here. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 13:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
    • Tenmei, if you want DGG to comment here, by all means invite him to do so. As for your comments about "raising the bar", it is not unreasonable for us to ask the possible mentors to lay out here what they see as their role in all this. I count, so far, Doc James and Kraftlos (of those you list) and in addition to this, Nihonjoe and Coppertwig. The layout at User talk:Tenmei/Sub-page Alerts is impressive, but there needs to be some indication of how this will work, otherwise this risks becoming a time sink if it goes wrong. Carcharoth (talk) 19:54, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
      • Tenmei, I'm supportive of you resuming editing with mentors, but please be patient and wait for other arbitrators and those willing to mentor you to respond here. I realise it must be frustrating for you, but if you wait just a little bit longer and let others speak, then we may finally get something workable set up here. We want this to work, not collapse because it was not set up properly. Carcharoth (talk) 03:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

GOOD — yes, of course
"...it is not unreasonable for us to ask the possible mentors to lay out here what they see as their role in all this"

NO -- it is unreasonable to pose ill-defined hypotheticals. Unreasonable to expect anyone to formulate crisp analysis or "answers" given that parameters of prospective mentoring issues are non-specific. The flexible role of mentors exists to address unforeseen problematic circumstances which can only happen as the future unfolds. Establishing tentative framework of organization and plan for mentoring task force is accomplished; but it was and continues to be a time sink in relation to primary mentoring objectives, e.g., addressing express WP:TLDR problems. --Tenmei (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
WRONG
"...there needs to be some indication of how this will work, otherwise this risks becoming a time sink if it goes wrong."
NO -- No one can predict how this is going to work. The only thing to be done is to see how the teamwork relationships evolve across coming weeks and months.
NO -- this is already a time sink with no observable rewards/outcomes, no difference in non-contextualized speculations, no way to distinguish "right" or "wrong", and no apparent linkages with
•cohort of allegations in record
•principles adduced in record
•findings-of-fact adduced in record
•remedies adduced in record
•record of ArbCom uninvolved inaction. --Tenmei (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
DISCONNECT? or DISJUNCTION?
Further speculative planning is unproductive.

Conventions of law of diminishing returns inform prudent decision to terminate pre-planning.

The exercise is nothing other than a discouraging time sink. --Tenmei (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


"...please be patient and wait for other arbitrators and those willing to mentor you to respond here. I realise it must be frustrating for you, but if you wait just a little bit longer and let others speak"

NO -- Frustration? Frustration of purpose?
I have now waited for NINE MONTHS for responses to questions about what happened in the ArbCom case.
•Sept 09, waiting 3 months -- Carcharoth e-mail postpones questions with delay
•Dec 09, waiting 6 months -- complaint-driven ArbCom adopts to conclusory allegations without scrutiny or discussion, ArbCom requires delay until mentors can be located
•Mar 10, waiting 9 months -- ArbCom exacerbates time sink with delay
NO -- Frustration = Aggravation? Making things worse? And this helps to mitigate WP:TLDR in what way? --Tenmei (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
"...then we may finally get something workable set up here. We want this to work, not collapse because it was not set up properly."
NO -- the notion that ArbCom has anything to do with "setting something up" is an illustration of The Emperors New Clothes which entails adverse consequences of pointless delay.
NO -- collapse or failure has little or nothing to do with ArbCom except
•avoiding time sink of parsing theories and hypotheticals
•ensuring that volunteer mentors receive ArbCom's support and encouragement and thanks in addition to mine
•determining parameters for decision-making which leads to ending involuntary mentorship. --Tenmei (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Involuntary mentorship is defined as punitive.
•NINE MONTHS of punishment for what? teaches constructive lessons in what way?

•THREE MONTHS blocked editing for what? expands comprehension or understanding in what manner?

And this helps to mitigate WP:TLDR as predictable sequelae from what methods?

Summarizing this record: Escalating alphabeticals, catchwords, catch phrases, etc. have overwhelmed coherent discussion with references to policy acronyms and loaded language.

My seriatim responses were derided as WP:TLDR ... and delay muddied an already complicated array of facts, factoids and factors. --Tenmei (talk) 18:15, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hypotheticals

In theory, it is not unreasonable to ask hypothetical questions; but in practice, the attempt can easily devolve into a time sink.

Illustrating the point with a timely issue: Is there a constructive value in examining failures attributable to ArbCom — serial incidents in which ArbCom snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?

Can you suggest a better way to solicit your help in a specific context? I have sent you an e-mail. --Tenmei (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Not sure what you're asking here

The situation you've outlined on my talk page is a bit out of my experience to say the least. I'm genuinely puzzled as to what you are asking of me. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I think it is fair to say that we are trying to work through something which is outside anyone's experience. Your guess is as good as mine about what steps are constructive in a novel ArbCom thread, e.g.,

Context. As you know, I've created a mentoring group for myself because ArbCom feels it will be helpful. I provided the names of those who are to be "public mentors" (as described in WP:Mentorship). The mentoring group also encompasses other advisors — "non-public mentors" like you — who have agreed to participate on an intermittent or episodic basis. All are interested in mentoring as described in Misplaced Pages's article on Mentorship. In response to comments from Steve Smith, Coren, and Roger Davies, I summarized my best guesses about how this would work in practice.
A. ArbCom told me to locate a mentor or mentors.
Yes — I did just that.
B. ArbCom explained that Tenmei is "required to have one or more volunteer mentors, who will be asked to assist him in understanding and following policy and community practice to a sufficient level that additional sanctions will not be necessary."
Yes — the volunteers are ready to do just that.
C. However, Risker and Carcharoth effectively moved the goalposts or raised the bar by posing open-ended, unanswerable questions for the volunteer mentors to deal with. I responded to Carcharoth's diffs in an unconventional way. I tried to use page formatting techniques (a) to focus my comments and (b) to limit the number of words.
What you can do. There are a few specific things I hope you will consider doing:
1. Please comment on this evolving effort to use graphics as a tool. In your opinion, did this help me in crafting a non-verbose response to Carcharoth's main points? Can you suggest ways in which the formatting or the writing could have been made clearer? better?
2. Please help move the process forward by making a thoughtful comment at here. Perhaps you will have a better notion of what you might add if you read what others have posted here.
3. The fact that my message puzzled you is important. The main objective of mentoring is to reduce the number of ways in which my writing is construed as puzzling. Can you suggest how I could have re-written or re-conceptualized my sentences and paragraphs. Are there extra words you think I could have left out?
My goal was to make this as clear and as easy to deal with as possible; but obviously, my best efforts fell short. I'm sorry.
As a consequence of good mentoring, I hope to do better in the future.--Tenmei (talk) 18:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. Hey, maybe you mistakenly forgot to actually block the user, but Funny96 is not blocked. I'm PRODing their new article soon.

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Misplaced Pages when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example


Whack! The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians. To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

I indeed deserved that bit of unprepared sashimi. I meant to block that account as a sockpuppet and I was distracted before I could. A bi of lemon or tartar sauce next time, if you don't mind.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The deletion of Dark Soho

I'm clueless about Wiki's system so please bare with me.

Basically i'm asking if you can reverse the deletion made or in part made by this account?

I don't know much about Dark Soho except that they have 3 albums, 2 of which are still listed on Misplaced Pages.

They are:

"Combustion"

"Sun Spot"

"Light In The Dark"

Thanks for reading and i hope this isn't posted in a bad/wrong section.
