Notice: This is a Misplaced Pages user page, not a Misplaced Pages article.

As such it may contain opinions and unsupported facts...even possible HUMOR.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I'm sure Sue gets it. I'm sure it's not gonna happen again. Let us get back to building an encyclopedia. §FreeRangeFrog

Oh, let me explain, then. I hear from many people who are BLP enforcers that they feel unsupported and there are constant concerns about whether they will be fully backed if they do what is necessary. In general, I think those fears are overblown, but the point I am making today is that I am standing firm on this issue. BLP enforcement is important. Speedy deletion, blocking people violating the policy, protecting pages, sprotecting pages, what needs doing can be done confidently. First, protect the reputations of people who may be in a position of being victimized by someone by using our resources. And sort out the details later, there is no rush. If there's a horrible murderer out there somewhere and if for a week Misplaced Pages doesn't have an article at all, until finally some reliable sources are fine, that's perfectly ok. What's not ok is BLP violations. I think everyone agrees with that, but not everyone yet fully understands that those who disagree are quite simply wrong and will have no power when a decision comes in judgment of whatever may have happened in a difficult situation.

What I do on Misplaced Pages

I'm a participant in Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation and Misplaced Pages:Recent changes patrol. I also seem to be pretty good at negotiating and mediating disputes before they turn into edit wars. In real life I often act as impromptu mediator when two people are arguing, it seems to be a natural talent of mine, or my background in psychology. So now I find myself searching wiki for potential edit wars and anything else that looks interesting. I click the revert button a lot. I also cut and paste parts of other people's user pages and add them to my own if I think they are nice or if I think they fit. This is particularly true of Userboxen.

Outlaw Articles

These are mostly humor articles that rubbed some admin or other the wrong way. I either created or contributed content to each of these. All have been up for deletion, speedy deletion, or are in a state of deletion as of this writing (any red ones).

	The Civility Barnstar
	You're capable of remaining (almost painfully) civil even when people are complaining about your edits or other actions, or when offering feedback even in opposition to something. I wish you could teach that skill to others! —Darkwind (talk) 03:04, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
