Move

I suppose that discussion is in the archive, it is not on the talk page. There is a note from someone who did the same thing as me though, at On the Jews and Their Lies (Martin Luther)#Title. Maybe there should be a comment there, with link to the prior discussion. // Habj 13:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: batting averages

I respectfully disagree. I know of a user who (as of last week or so when the tool server stopped updating) has made 891 edits to the same article, but somehow only averages 2.20 edits per page overall. Incredible, I know, but this user (you may know whom I'm talking about, so I don't have to mention his name) obviously does enough other work here to offset his apparent obsession. Also, he very rarely uses his admin tools at all, and never in matters where he's personally involved. For what it's worth, my edits/page is 1.39, so I guess I'm sort of useless. Will we be able to say that much for the present candidate in a few months? If I was more confident in that, I might support. Knowing the details of the 3RR block would also be helpful. — Apr. 20, '06 <freakofnurxture|talk>

Thank you for your prompt reply. And thank you for the links regarding the incident. Here's some links for you as well . Feel free to remove them at your discretion. I'll take a look at the 3RR thing. — Apr. 20, '06 <freakofnurxture|talk>

I owe an apology

Slim Virgin, I owe you an apology, and with this post I am offering one to you. I am glad that we have administrators as well versed in WP policies as you are. I want to be constructive, not destructive. I will try to be more helpful to Misplaced Pages. Drboisclair 22:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Anon IP using talk pages as soap box

Hi Slim,

Anon IP 195.70.32.136 (talk · contribs) has had a history of making inflammatory comments in talk pages (out of the last 50 contributions, only 2 have been to non-talk pages). Several users have commented on this on the IP's talk page, but the anon hasn't got into too much trouble as (s)he only comments once in any given page. It seems like the anon knows a bit about the rules, as POV is expressed in talk rather than main articles. Is a user-conduct RFC a good idea, or could it make things worse? Thanks, Andjam 12:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Since this is a new user, I suggest you try talking to him, rather than threatening him. Also, since this is on a page you are editing, I want it on record that you have a conflict of interest as far as admin duties go. If you do not like what he is doing, call in another admin. --CTSWyneken 13:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


Yes, and here's an interesting thought. I was reading a certain person's user page and notice that she lists these two principles first as how to behave on Misplaced Pages. Maybe you ought to listen to this advice from a certain person I think you know:

  1. Be nice. Praise people when you see things being done well. Write personal notes to people on their talk pages saying what a good edit such-and-such was. You can make someone's day with some positive feedback.
  2. Don't engage in unnecessary personal criticism or personal attacks. At the same time, let people know that you're able and willing to stand up for yourself and your edits, but not to the point of being obnoxious. -PTmccain

May I ask why you reverted MonkeySage's removal of Askolnick's comment? It seems close enough to a personal attack to merit removal. JoshuaZ
