Canvassing

Jayen, I appreciate that you feel strongly about the issues we've recently been discussing, but please be careful not to canvass. This looks very much like votestacking, whereas your note here is clearly biased and therefore a problem of campaigning. --Moonriddengirl 15:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Noted; though please bear in mind that these comments were made out in the open, rather than by e-mail, and on two of the most widely watched user talk pages in the project. --JN466 15:22, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I didn't mention "stealth" canvassing. The openness of communication has no bearing on votestacking (which deals with cherry-picking participants to notify) or campaigning (which deals with advancing your arguments in notice). --Moonriddengirl 15:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Noted, MRG. I apologise, and will endeavour to present my concerns in a more neutral fashion and at more neutral venues in future, even if I do care strongly about the points at issue. --JN466 15:36, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Question

I am unfamiliar with the tags and templates used here and I was wondering if you could help me understand what this entry is all about? http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Werner_Erhard&diff=389602695&oldid=389602275 —Preceding unsigned comment added by MLKLewis (talk • contribs) 16:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

It relates to Misplaced Pages's internal quality rating system. The edit downgraded the quality assessment by one level, from C-Class to Start-Class. --JN466 16:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Cirt

It seems like wherever Cirt goes, you're there too. You appear to be following him to articles, such as Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant, and to be appearing anytime there's a post by or about him, like these recent noticeboard threads: . If I were him I'd be feeling harassed. "Wiki-hounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on pages or topics they may edit or debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work... " WP:WIKIHOUNDING. I suggest that you give him more space in the future.   Will Beback  talk  01:34, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Just drop it, Will. I could equally point to many occasions, including those you linked above plus arbitration cases and RSN threads, where you and Cirt turn up together speaking in unison, or where you turn up to make a point of opposing me. What was THF's COIN thread to you? Daryl's Wine bar, Kenneth Dickson, List of Scientologists, David Miscavige, and this present case, are all articles in the Scientology topic area, which I haven't seen you work in, but both Cirt and I do regularly work in. And if I see Cirt writing a clearly non-neutral Scientology-related piece like Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant or Kenneth Dickson, or violating BLP as she did in List of Scientologists for example, or, for that matter, claiming that a cardiology book by McGraw Hill does not meet WP:RS to help you over in the TM topic area, I will call it out.

There is a reason this is a collaborative project: so that different POVs are represented and we arrive at a neutral article. Besides, I respect Cirt, and if she put you up to this, you can tell her that she can't have it both ways: I have supported her plenty of times against other editors when she was right, and I have frequently expressed my appreciation for her work. She in turn has explicitly pointed out my appreciation and/or support of her position to other editors she was in dispute with, including on Jimbo's talk page. But no two editors agree all the time, and if you should observe an occasional disagreement between Cirt and me, perhaps you could think about whether it is really necessary for you to leave whatever it is you are working on just to make a perfectly predictable comment. --JN466 02:43, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I touched a nerve. You can accuse me of ignorance, but there's nothing in Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant that marks it as a Scientology-related article nor is it discussed on the talk page. The connection, if any, is very obscure. Cirt has written and promoted more articles to FA than both of use combined. That indicates an ability to comply with the most stringent interpretations of NPOV, and other policies and guidelines. It's an enviable record.

I've been following THF's career on Misplaced Pages for more than three years. What's the difference between "following" and "hounding"? It's a matter of degree. He edits many topics and posts to many administrative threads. I don't notice or comment on most of them. I pay a bit of attention to his edits when they show up on my watchlist, and I run into him here and there. We're always collegial and I respect him as an editor and a contributor, even when we butt heads. Maybe that's the kind of relationship that you and Cirt should aim for. I'd hate for either of you to end up in an ArbCom-type mess.   Will Beback  talk  11:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Will. For the Scientology connection of Daryl's, you'd have to read through Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Daryl_Wine_Bar_and_Restaurant. --JN466 21:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
