Coconut oil for deep frying

Hello!

First off a pre-emptive apologies if I muck about the formatting!

You posted on my talk page - http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:ScienceandFitness - RE: "Coconut oil should not be utilized for deep drying, as multiple use may be associated with production of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, a carcinogenic compound"

I'm not really sure how to source this? It's more of a general-truth that you deep-frying (multiple usage) causes fatty acids to degrade. It's kind of the same issue found in BBQed meats, but in a lesser amount. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScienceandFitness (talk • contribs) 14:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

As a rule of thumb, if reliable sources do not discuss something (directly discussing the topic of the article), it doesn't belong in the article. Please see WP:OR. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

A little late, but I have added an appropriate citation!

Ship of Theseus / Trigger's Broom

Can you give me some idea of what you would consider a reasonable citation for this nugget of information? It is an example of the paradox that is considered very well known in the UK, and the citation to the corresponding wikipedia entry wasn't considered authoritative by you, so I provided one from the BBC's own website.

Is this a matter of citation? or notability? or is it personal preference?

It's not worth debating hugely, but I thought it was a value add for the page. Ashleyfrieze (talk) 15:08, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Articles like this frequently attract lots of examples and pseudo-examples. As such, they tend to build up indiscriminate lists of examples of no encyclopedic value. As we're discussing the content of the article, please comment on the article's talk page. Thanks! - SummerPhD (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

reversion in error of my Eton College edit

- re your TW reversion in error of my Eton College edit - this was not an isolated 'opinion piece' but was reported by the Independent and other national news papers as well as discussed on the radio - Certainly a controversy to be asking such questions of anyone as part of an entrance exam let alone such young children- reason I cited this source is that it contains a direct image of the 2011 examination paper

thanks

Tony TonyGosling (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

The only source you cited was the opinion piece. The source is evidence that the opinion writer has an opinion about the question. To include this issue in the article, you will need to cite independent reliable sources. (Additionally, some of the author's POV leaked into your edit. Compare the author's "morally defend the murder of civilians" to the questions "after two days of protest...protesters have been killed.... How will you explain why employing the Army against violent protesters...". The question posits explaining employing the Army. You and the author have this as "murder". The question discusses violent protesters. You and the author reduce this to simply "civilians".) - SummerPhD (talk) 20:01, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Again, we do not include material based on one opinion piece. If we included every opinion piece, how long would the article on Tony Blair have to be? - SummerPhD (talk) 14:39, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

It's not an 'opinion' that this was a controversial question to ask. It's a fact. There are around 4000 references to the story online. The way to edit this would be to correct the words you disagree with. such as reverting to civilians. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/matthewholehouse/100218671/eton-boys-are-taught-they-were-born-to-rule-its-a-shame-so-many-are-not/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyGosling (talk • contribs) 20:46, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Have added an extra reference and improved the wording - do be aware that this page must include public criticism of Eton. This true and accurate story went around the world. If you have any genuine problems with this entry do please carefully edit rather than simply delete - I'm fairly new here but understand that is the protocol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyGosling (talk • contribs) 21:05, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I reverted your original addition because you backed up your claim with a single editorial. Without discussing the issue or addressing that concern, you restored the material (albeit with revised wording). I reverted the addition a second time as there was no change in the issue. Now you are providing two sources: The editorial and a blog. If those are the strongest of the 4000 sources, this will be a problem. I will take further discussion to the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 23:04, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

File:Édouard-Henri Avril (28).jpg

Hello! I'd like to talk about the changes that took place a few minutes ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JmAmO (talk • contribs) 01:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Regardless of the image in question and what an accurate description of it may be, do not change other editors' user pages as you did here. With few exceptions (such as potentially libelous material, copyright violations and such), only the editor in question should edit the page. Please see Misplaced Pages:User pages.

You have stated "The title of "Ancient Greek sodomising a goat" is false, since no ancient or modern Greek were ever wearing turban/sariki on the head. The painter was Algerian This picture is coming from a website which is selling it. So, the title is totally arbitary". I am unaware of anything about the commercial sale of images which would make the title arbitrary. Whatever your opinion/knowledge of ancient Greeks may be, the ultimate source of this image is De Figuris Veneris, a collection of ancient Greek and Roman eroticism. That Avril was Algerian/French is immaterial. As he was commissioned to illustrate an ancient Greek, the description is apt, whether or not the image in entirely accurate. If you disagree with this, you will certainly want to correct our descriptions of Michelangelo's David. We repeatedly describe the work as being of the Biblical David. However, the statue is clearly uncircumcised, while all of Jesse's sons would have been circumcised at 8 days of age. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:16, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

About the article "zoophilia"

The page "zoophilia" has a lot of inaccurate information which need a good revision by people who have real knowledge.

For example, the term "philia" in Greek means only friendship, and not love.

Then, about the picture with the title: "Ancient Greek sodomising a goat". First of all, this picture is an indirect advertisement to a commercial website, which sells those pictures. Then, the title is totally false and it has been put by the sellers (and not by the artist) for various reasons. The real title exists in this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/File:%C3%89douard-Henri_Avril_(28).jpg and it is "Shepherd sodomising a goat".

Moreover, Greeks were never wearing turbans on the head. So, since the painter was Algerian, I don't see how it is related with Greeks. I am Greek and this constitutes a negative propaganda against my culture!

And last but not least, the terms "zoophilia" and "zoophiles" (which are Greek) have totally different meanings in Greek language, which I don't see nowhere in this article.

I'd suggest to change the title of this article to "bestiality", which is the correct title for its content.

I can offer my knowledge to improve this article in a decent way, but I need good collaboration. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JmAmO (talk • contribs) 02:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

There is a lot of baggage in your comment here. I haven't time to unpack all of it. For the moment, if you wish to change the title of the article, you will need to build a consensus to that end on the article's talk page. As the overwhelming majority of the sources for the article use the term "zoophilia" and bestiality is described as an aspect of zoophilia, you will likely find this to bean unpopular idea.

Yes, the image does depict an ancient Greek sodomizing a goat. The image is not some kind of hidden advertisement for the site selling copies of the image. It is taken from a book whose copyright has lapsed. ANYONE can freely reproduce the image without paying anything to anyone. If anything, we are subverting attempts to sell the free image.

Various meanings of various words in modern Greek are not discussed in the article as this article is discussing the English use of the term "zoophilia". While "zoo-" and "-philia" are indeed taken from Greek, English usage of the word(s) are likely different. You will note that shampoo discusses the hair care product, rather than the massaging of the scalp that the word originally meant.

If you feel that an image of one individual ancient Greek sodomizing a goat is "a negative propaganda against (your) culture", I would advise you to leave the Internet at this point without looking back. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:56, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

May I see the proof that Avril was really commissioned to illustrate an ancient Greek?

Not to mention that the image is a total garbage from the side of aesthetics! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JmAmO (talk • contribs) 02:39, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

If you are contesting that Avril illustrated the French edition of De figuris Veneris, I haven't the time. This was one of his most notable works. If you doubt that De figuris Veneris was a collection of ancient Greek and Roman eroticism, I haven't the time. It is simply what the book is. If you doubt that the description is taken from that text, I haven't the time. Feel free to ask your local library to get the edition and see for yourself.

"...total garbage from the side of aesthetics". You don't like the photo. I get it. I am quite confident there are loads of images on Misplaced Pages that you won't like. Your personal dislike, though, does not dictate whether or not the image should be here or how we should describe it. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Again I don't see any proof that the purpose of the artist was to picture a Greek and not an Algerian. Could you please send me a link where I can see that proof? Misplaced Pages is an online encyclopedia, isn't it? How can information be published here without having a valid online source? Moreover, there is indeed a link in this Misplaced Pages page: https://en.wikipedia.org/File:%C3%89douard-Henri_Avril_(28).jpg which redirects people to the commercial website here: http://www.kunstkopie.de/a/avril-edouard-henri/ancient-greek-sodomising.html. This website is in fact the only source of the title: "Ancient Greek sodomising a goat".

Then, I have a question about the title of the article "zoophilia". Since this edition of Misplaced Pages is the English version, why you don't have any article about "bestiality"? Please, I'd like to see it.

As for your personal advices to me for leaving internet, I am sorry but I am on internet almost since the beginning. Thank you, but I'll stay!

Yes, Misplaced Pages is an online encyclopedia. It is an encyclopedia and it is online. Not all of our sources are online. Our policy on this specifically states: "Some reliable sources may not be easily accessible. For example, some online sources may require payment, while some print sources may be available only in university libraries or other offline places. Do not reject sources just because they are hard or costly to access."

Yes, there is a link from the image to the online location of the image. (There is also a link to the image at another location.) Yes, the site is trying to sell prints of the image. Here is another one (guess how it describes the image). That the source of the scan is commercial is immaterial. If you would like to provide a cleaner scan from another source, feel free.

The website (actually, every website I can find agrees on the title:, , , , , etc.) is not the ultimate source for the title. The caption of the image in the text is the source: "STC79198 Ancient Greek sodomising a goat, plate XVII from 'De Figuris Veneris' by F.K. Forberg, pub. 1900 (hand coloured lithograph) by Avril, Edouard-Henri (Paul) (1849-1928); Private Collection; The Stapleton Collection; French, out of copyright". Is it possible that every website, every poster seller, every library, everyone is wrong? Sure, but that is an extraordinary claim. You will need extraordinary evidence. Find the book, scan the page. Then you will have something.

Again, if you would like to change the title of the article or spin-off the bestiality content into a new article, please raise the issue at Talk:Zoophilia.

My advise to leave the Internet is based on your statement that the image was somehow "negative propaganda against (your) culture". Yes, one artist depicted one ancient Greek screwing a goat. If that destroys someone's image of Greeks against Hippocrates, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Herodotus, Pericles, Homer, Aesop, etc., etc., well, there's no hope for that person anyway! - SummerPhD (talk) 04:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it is possible all webpages to reproduce the same fake source. This is how so much misinformation is reproduced all around internet nowadays. There is no way to convince me that the picture depicts an ancient Greek, since turban or sariki was never part of the Greek culture! Moreover, I cannot see why a disputed title is so important about such a picture in such an article. The picture talks by itself.

By the way, thank you for changing the title of the picture. This is fair for everybody!

Also thank you for the clarification about: "φιλία (philia, meaning "(fraternal) love"). As a suffix, "-philia" indicates an abnormal liking for or tendency towards a given thing. Thus, the term denotes an abnormal human sexual attraction to animals."

In Greek, we have 2 words for "love": 1) αγάπη (agapi), 2) έρως (eros). The first one (agapi) never indicates lust or sexual desire, and it suits well for the Greek root of "zoophilia". For describing bestiality in English by using a Greek word, more suitable are the terms "zooerasty" or "zooerastia".

Finally, I am not interested to start a new article for "bestiality", since that subject is very repulsive for me. I leave that duty to somebody else here.

I am an active member of a few organizations for the protection and welfare of animals, so I'll only report this article to them.

Since the terms "zoophilia" and "zoophiles" are used widely in Greece for indicating organizations and people who protect the welfare of animals, and of course detest bestiality.

My regards. JmAmO (talk) 22:33, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

The Occam's razor answer is not that these disparate sources all incorrectly cite the same source the same way while zero sources get it right. Rather, all available evidence strongly supports the idea that the illustration was intended to represent an ancient Greek sodomizing a goat and that the text captioned the image to reflect that. I did not change the image caption to meet your concerns. Rather, I had restored the "Ancient Greek..." caption everywhere in Misplaced Pages before I saw your discussion on the subject. I have not yet restored the caption at Zoophilia. As of now, I intend to restore that caption unless there is a compelling reason not to. I see the caption has also been bowdlerized on Commons. I'll restore that as well.

Whether or not the image correctly depicts an ancient Greek is immaterial. The image was produced to represent an ancient Greek. Images on our article on David have him with red hair, curly hair and all manner of historically inaccurate clothing. So far as I can see, there is no policy/guideline based reason to change the caption based on your original research.

What Greek word might be better to describe the subject is a moot point. While the English word "zoophilia" was based on Greek words, it now has a meaning of its own. In English, "zoophilia" is a paraphilia involving sexual activity between human and non-human animals or a fixation on such practice. - SummerPhD (talk) 23:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

The point is that in the article about filthy bestiality, there is an image which: 1) is not at all art, but the porn of its time, 2) with a fake caption which can be easily translated as an attack against ancient Greek culture.

I don't care what was the intention of the person who created that trash a century ago. Because Avril was not artist and the image is not art! So, it is at least ridiculous to even imagine to compare it with Michelangelo's masterpieces. It is completely irrelevant Avril's intention, or the intention of those who created that caption much later (which is what I am supporting here).

The important point is that in that article, there is no other image which indicates the nationality of somebody who is having sexual contact with an animal. Like for example, "French is sodomizing a mule", or "Chinese is having sex with a chicken". But only "ancient Greek..."!!! Does it sound good? Does it serve a purpose of art, or philosophy, or science, or anything else which has a real value for humanity?

Moreover, since it was not me who changed again the caption of that ridiculous image, and it was not you..., there must be a few sensible people around the block.

About the terms "Zoophilia" and "Zoophiles", you like it or not, are Greek. And Greek is an alive language which is spoken by some millions of people today.

Zoophiles are called the activists who fight for animals' rights in my country.

Misplaced Pages is an international online encyclopedia, and as such it has to include in its articles the origin of these terms, and also how the terms are used today by those millions of Greeks around the globe. JmAmO (talk) 18:21, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Moreover, here is the link for the official webpage of the association which supports bestiality (ZETA):

http://www.zeta-verein.de/en/

"Welcome to the webpage of the ZETA association! And welcome to the unique German swarm-based project addressing zoophilia und zoosexuality."

It seems that Germans know much better that zoophilia and zoosexuality are 2 different things! And it is exactly what I am saying here:

1) Zoophilia is the act of protecting the welfare of animals and fight for animals' rights. 2) Zoosexuality or zooerasty is the sexual contact of a human with an animal.

"The most recent events: The German parliament tries to reintroduce a ban on bestiality by a revision of the animal protection law. Sexual contact with an animal is to become a misdemeanour with a fine of 25 000 Euros maximum."

Again Germans know much better that the sexual contact with the animals is called bestiality and not zoophilia!

Because zoophilia is not bestiality!

If people who apply bestiality have this exact knowledge, I don't see what is the problem with Wikipedians... JmAmO (talk) 23:05, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

You consider the image pornography, not art. Misplaced Pages does not care. You will find plenty to offended by at ejaculation, oral sex, anilingus, vagina, cunnilingus and countless others. The image depicts the topic of the article.

The image caption, is the caption from the image. If you wish to argue that every element of the image must be historically accurate, all of the images at David will have to be removed, along with images of Caucasian Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Jesus and similar images throughout the encyclopedia. To accomplish this, you will need a much broader consensus than you will find on this one article. I would recommend not wasting your time. If you wish to do so anyway, I'd suggest you take it to the Village pump.

You object to the article referring to zoophilia as "zoophilia". This is the English Misplaced Pages. The English word "zoophilia" refers to a paraphilia involving sexual activity between human and non-human animals or a fixation on such practice. If you disagree that that is what the word means in English, you will need to discuss it on the article's talk page. If you wish to argue that we should use Greek, German or whatever other language you might cite, you are wasting your time. Misplaced Pages is indeed international, but the English Misplaced Pages uses the common English terms for subjects.

On August 31, you changed the caption at Portal:Pornography/Featured picture/39, User:Putnik/porn and Zoophilia. You also made unsubstantiated changes at Zoophilia (disambiguation) on that same date. I reverted most of those. Otherwise, none of them have been edited since. I'm not sure who/where you think someone else changed this or how this supports your various positions. It doesn't matter. Misplaced Pages has policies and guidelines. If you wish to change this caption, remove this image or change the article's title in a way that directly contradicts these policies and guidelines, you will need to discuss the issue on the article's talk page and build a consensus to do so there. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 23:46, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Tarantino's personal life

SummerPhD,

Hi!

Thanks for the message on my board.

I noticed you went and undid my edit several times. Perhaps you should add a link/source of Tarantino's 2009 interview with Howard Stern. Tarantino was dating several women throughout the years, up until 2011. One of those girls is Didem Erol, whom he dated until 2011. Your edit stated that he had revealed in an interview with Stern in 2009 that he was dating magazine writer Lianne Spiderbaby. He never once mentioned her in that interview.

Furthermore, here is an interview with Lianne Spiderbaby from a few months ago.

http://liannehaveyouever.blogspot.com/2013/02/have-you-ever-lianne-spiderbaby-delving.html

She stated that they met during Tarantino's "Django Unchained" shoot, which was definitely not in 2009!

Again, (BLP violation redacted) is all over the internet, but here is one of the many links.

(BLP violation -- not a reliable source -- redacted)

Thanks, I hope we can come to an agreement here, and P.S. My intentions are definitely not contentious. I am merely trying to keep things up to date just as you are.

Peace!!

User: Gq1212

The first edits of yours that I reverted removed a valid source that I knew confirmed the quote. It also added information that was obviously not sourced, including the contentious, unsourced claim about a living person. Per our policy on biographies of living persons, "Contentious material about living persons (or in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." Whether or not this is "all over the internet" is immaterial; without sourcing, it is a WP:BLP violation. With sourcing, we would need the source to directly tie it the relationship with Tarantino. Otherwise it is simply off topic.

The second time, your edit again made the contentious, unsourced claim about a living person and stated, without souring of any kind, that he had briefly dated Spiderbaby and is now single. I had restored the source for the quote and removed Spiderbaby entirely (as unsourced).

The third removal was by another editor, who indicated that the source you used is "Not a WP:Reliable source." I would add that the blog (in addition to not being a reliable source) does not mention Tarantino at all (he is, after all, the subject of this article).

As your edits have been reverted three times under WP:BLP by two different editors, please discuss the issue on the article's talk page before restoring the material. As the claim is contentious, it is generally preferable to link to the edit in question, rather than directly making the claim again on the talk page. BLP applies to talk pages as well. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:54, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Michelle Rodriguez edit

You deleted my addition, please restore it. The Reference you'r whining about WAS THE VERY SAME GATES TV SHOW "FINDING OUR ROOTS." So move the footnote number to end of my statement. It was a mere 6 minutes after the first thing she said. The words came out of her own mouth and were particularly egregious. Unless you are the type who feel its a sin to use the n-word but okay to bash the Caucasian race. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.226.20.130 (talk) 02:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Let me get this straight: You said "please" to be polite, then begin to throw around accusations, say I'm whining, accuse me of being "the type" who doesn't fall in line with your views on race, etc. This is your way of asking me to restore your WP:POV to the article. While your approach to life is interesting, I think you'll find that flying off the handle is seldom effective in securing favors and allies. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:33, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually I would probably take the issue to ANI anyways; I asked the user to apologize for leveling a copyvio claim against a user not in the wrong, but they refused and blanked my request without comment. I came to their talk page to follow up and am not happy at all that they didn't. Nate • (chatter) 22:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Personally, I'd suggest you ask again. My goal is to get hir to respond to talk requests.

Looks pretty clear to me, I've added them to the list. I'm not really sure where to go from here.

I'll probably take it to an admin board for any ideas other than the ongoing game of Whack-a-mole. Any suggestions? - SummerPhD (talk) 21:52, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Not a one (I don't have any real experience with sockpuppet investigations or hardcore vandal-fighting). As far as I know, the only potentially productive outcome of a sock puppet investigation in a case like this would be a range block; but as those are reserved for only the most disruptive and damaging cases, I doubt one would be applied here. Might be worth a shot, though. ʍw 22:18, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Why did you undo my edit. Isn't true that it a bad movie? Give me proof that it a good movie.184.20.209.241 (talk) 05:24, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I have reverted your similar edit on the same subject on the 'films considered the worst ever' page. I'd like to explain why. Your statement that this is a bad film is personal opinion, and wikipedia does not deal in personal opinion. It deals in statements which are verifiable by different sources. If you wished to make a statement claiming that it is a bad movie, cite some evidence from verifiable (preferably academic) sources to indicate so. Which brings to the next point, namely that you ask others to prove that it is a good movie - frankly, there is no need for people to do so, because they are not claiming that it is. You are claiming that it isn't. The burden of proof for a claim rests with the person who is making the claim, regardless of what the claim actually is. Therefore, if you wish to make this claim, the burden is on yourself to provide verifiable sources to prove that your claim is accurate. I hope that this helps explain the subject a little for you. Best wishes. Justin.Parallax (talk) 12:41, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Capriotti's

Hi SummerPhD, You undid my edit to the Capriotti's page, and I apologize for reverting it without an explanation, and I apologize if this is not the correct way to reply to you. Your reason for reverting my edit is that Misplaced Pages is not the menu of Capriotti's, which is true. There are, however, many items on the page that are essentially menu items. Some examples of these are the Cap's Specials section, Hot stuff section, and so on. I don't see how my contribution was any different or any more menu-like than the components of those sections. I don't have a huge investment in the page, I don't really care if you keep it reverted. I'm just trying to make 10 edits so that I can access a semi-protected page, and I thought this page was as useful as my contributions could get. Goekster (talk) 23:41, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Goekster

The article in question needs to be scrubbed of the menu-like material that is already there.

If you are looking for a quick way to find edits to make, try Googling the site for instances of common grammatical errors "could of" for "could have", mistaking "it's" for "its" (or the reverse), "casted" as the past tense for "cast", etc. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:01, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Perri Reid 2

Please do not update the Perri Reid page anymore with personal marriage information anymore. We are removing this information through a request from Perri Reid's counsel. Thank you for your cooperation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.158.217 (talk) 03:19, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Marriage information is rather standard fare for a biography. Per our policy on biographies of living persons, the information is taken from reliable published sources. As such, I'm afraid you will need to provide a much better explanation as to why the information should be removed.

Additionally, please note that unless there is a decision from Misplaced Pages's administrators or the Wikimedia Foundation to the contrary, this information very likely will be restored to the article repeatedly because, as I stated, information on marriages is fairly basic information for a biography.

You will probably want to review Misplaced Pages:Blp#Relationship_between_the_subject.2C_the_article.2C_and_Wikipedia for more information on this. You will likely face questions as to who the "we" in your statement are, BTW. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Michelle Thomas

Hi Summer. When I updated the information on Michelle Thomas, the source that I used was an actual photo of her headstone. I looked at the talk page, and while there were several conflicting sources cited, none were vital records. As someone who does genealogical research, it is incredibly rare to find a tombstone that has an incorrect DOB or DOD on it. Furthermore, it seems that the last discussion on DOB and DOD took place over three years ago. At what point can we consider something confirmed? HarlandQPitt 04:19, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Vital records would be primary sources. We generally do not use primary sources. If you'll review the article's talk page, you'll see that we have already discussed using the tombstone, including discussion of an obviously wrong tombstone in another article. In short, before removing the reliable sources already cited in the article, discussion on the article's talk page will probably be needed. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Marcus Collins

I am curious as to whey you seem to be personally attacking our attempts to inform curious parties to the goings on of one Marcus Collins and his musical group The Texas Tenors. We are family members of Mr. Collins and are not interested in perpetuating lies about him or his group. We have been given permission by Marcus and his Texas Tenors partners to update their Misplaced Pages info. Everything we add to these pages is the truth and can be corroborated so I fail to understand your motives in regards to your actions! I see that you fancy yourself an expert on all things Misplaced Pages...instead of recommending our moderately successful relatives career and group for deletion, maybe you should offer some advice as to how we can satisfy YOUR criteria as to what is TRUE information in order to take us off of your radar.

Rahuff50211 (talk) 00:06, 24 October 2013 (UTC)rahuff50211

Please be aware that Misplaced Pages user names are not to be used by groups of individuals. Each user name should represent one and only one editor.

I am not "personally attacking" anyone or any thing. Rather, I am attempting to ensure that all Misplaced Pages articles meet our policies and guidelines. Among the applicable policies in the current discussion are notability and verifiability.

Misplaced Pages is not intended to be a collection information on everything. Rather, we aim to have articles on notable topics. In general, topics discussed in some degree of depth in independent reliable sources sufficient to write a reasonably detailed article are considered "notable".WP:GNG I have not been able to find such coverage. If you believe Collins is notable, please discuss this one the on-going discussion considering deletion of the article.

In articles that provide information about named individuals, we are especially concerned that all information provided cite reliable sources. This policy, WP:BLP, is a special category of our regular verifiability policy. All articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Contentious material (negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable) about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. The Collins article currently cites thetexastenors.com, imdb.com and "Marcus Collins Resume". The Texas Tenors own website is not independent of the group as a whole or Collins individually. IMDb is not considered a reliable source for biographical information. Collins' resume is not independent of Collins, nor is it a published source (much less one with a reputation for accuracy). - SummerPhD (talk) 01:04, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Dear Summerphd, how come you are telling me to discuss edits on the article tak page FIRST, but YOU are not doing that. You really messed up the article taking out lots of information. And I see others have added it but you revert. So is this a csse of do as I say not as I do.If so, not alright. 64.134.64.124 (talk) 13:51, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

If you take a look at the article's talk page, you'll see I've been having a nice little conversation with myself. I've also been commenting on various editors' talk pages and explaining my edits in edit summaries. Thank you for finally discussing this.

The article is a biography of a living person. We have very strict standards for such articles, outlined at WP:BLP. Unsourced information, such as the various marriages you are repeatedly adding, is simply unacceptable. If you continue to add this information without citing a reliable source, I will continue to remove it, adding warnings to your talk page each time. If you continue anyway, you will eventually be blocked from editing.

Additionally, I have removed a blatant copyright violation. If you restore the text that was directly copied from another website, I will have an administrator remove the information from the article's history and, if necessary, have you blocked.

If, rather than reverting these changes over the warnings not to do so, you would like to discuss what we can and cannot add to the article, PLEASE discuss this on the article's talk page.

(As the various marriages you are claiming are factual are not sourced, I am again blanking them from your comments here.)

Thank you. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:11, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Batman

Probably not a practicing Christian but if you read the comics, it proves he was raised a Christian because his parents were both Epi/Catholic and his parents graves have a Crucifix/Cross on top of them. Further on you can see a young bruce kneeled down and praying, pretty sure he is not praying to Buddah.

Please visit www.adherents.com/lit/comics/batman.html for proof and the comics relating and foreshadowing his religious background.

The non-reliable site in question says lots of things, including: "On rare occasions, stories have been published in which Batman has simply identified himself as an atheist or a Christian. It is reasonable to assume that, as with other people, Batman's precise beliefs, spirituality and relationship to God vary over the years, and sometimes shift depending on his experiences. The religious aspects of Batman's character also vary depending on the writer."

The Batman character has been around long enough, in the hands of enough writers that there are myriad discontinuities in various aspects of the character, including his religion. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:50, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Sock Puppets

So, it's OK for that "editor" (actually, he's more of a reversionist) to claim I'M a sockpuppet because YOU don't like me? Sounds a little like bias to me. And in fact, if you took the time to look at his edit history and how long he's been an editor combined with the sophistication of his Wiki knowledge, you might consider that he is a sock puppet.

But again, why are you sending ME a nasty gram and not the other editor who continues to claim I use sock puppets? You don't like me so you play favorites? Wow. =//= Johnny Squeaky 03:01, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

You have repeatedly claimed the other editor is using socks without starting a case. If you do so again, I will report you for personal attacks.

The other editor made the claim about you one time (that I see). I notified that editor before your response here asking why I didn't. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:22, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Start a sock case or stop making the accusation. Those are your options.

Trivia

Trivia is a legitimate section title, the PROOF being that while looked down upon, it is both ***NOT*** outlawed, and there is in fact a "trivia" tag. Again, being honest about the title of a section in reference to it's content is, well, honest. There is NOTHING wrong with labeling "trivia" trivia. What is wrong is including trivia under the complete bullshit title "In Popular Culture".

Did I mention that there is absolutely no / zero / nadda rule that outlaws "trivia" at Misplaced Pages. It must be properly labeled and in fact there is a trivia tag for doing so. =//= Johnny Squeaky 03:01, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

You are being disruptive. The consensus, as repeatedly demonstrated, is that these sections should be labeled "In popular culture". So far as I have seen, numerous editors disagree with you and none have agreed with you. You are editing against consensus, for which you have been blocked in the past.

The article was redirected because she doesn't seem to be notable independent of the band. I see no indication that has changed. Your restored version made three changes: correcting two typos and adding categories. Notability for musicians for individual articles (rather than a redirect to the band's article) calls for substantial coverage in independent reliable sources demonstrating notability for activity independent of the band. Articles about the band do not demonstrate that. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:37, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Making a correction; need citation

I just saw this message pop up for the first time:

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Hulk Hogan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 04:05, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't recall what the edit was (it would be helpful if you included it in the message). I am guessing that i may have corrected Hulk Hogan's billed height, as i see it is incorrectly listed as 6'7", when he was billed for many, many years as 6'8".

I don't know what qualifies as a reliable source, but there are probably 500 videos on youtube where they announce his height as 6'8".

Here's one of the most famous of them (skip to 5:25 for the 'tale of the tape'):

This is the edit in question. Yes, it was changing the height. The citation in the article was (and is) his WWE bio, which says 6'7". If you have a reliable source that contradicts this, I'd suggest taking the issue to the article's talk page. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Your history of following be around Misplaced Pages is in fact claer evidence of "stalking". It's unfriendly, and really quite creepy.

"Inappropriate behavior as a response to inappropriate behavior is still inappropriate behavior. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)"

First, I don't personally believe in the "two wrongs don't make a right" popular mantra. (I consider that dumbing down and a false rule, for example, the Japanese killed Americans at Pearl Harbor - a "wrong" - then we entered the War and dropped an A-bomb on them ... Why aren't the mantra people scolding *that*? On and on.)

But I'm not aware of doing anything "inappropriate" (if there was any implication), in spite of the user's accusation. To suggest the Chess.com article content is "nothing to do with ", is crass & foul ... I'm one of the first editors to get involved on issues at a related article Talk, and the recent Chess.com AfD, so it has been on my watchlist for that past issue and others. Second, for a user to accuse me of hidden motives, or to even announce he is able to discern and act on such suppositions, is both also crass, and illegitimate. (But it is apparently tolerated on the Wiki. Thanks for stepping in to warn him; too bad you are not an adminsitrator with some power to do something about that editor's hostile and out-of-bounds incivilities .)

Content editors need your support, not your lectures

Save yourself the trouble of lecturing me, I've been around here longer than you have. Go bother that little tendentious troll who is on a deletionist spree. Have you looked at his contribs? That's almost all he does! I've got better things to do than to spend any more time defending something as dumb as Charlie's Angels, but I will NOT be snarked at by trolls and someone needs to get that little twerp to slow down and start being constructive instead of taking the lazy route and insist on article deletions that contribute to the anti-woman systemic bias the wikipedia is just loaded with. I'm absolutely fed up with the ongoing harassment that content editors get when they try to add content and have to endure this sort of stuff from people who wouldn't know how to write a featured article if it bit them. If someone can't be bothered to rework an article and save it, then unless it actually violates policy, they need to just pop on a couple appropriate tags and go on. Now leave me alone, I'm done with that stupid situation, and if the other editor keeps snarking at me, then why don't you go and lecture him? Montanabw 07:03, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't care how long you've been here. I don't care who you think started it. I gave the other editor the same reminder I gave you. You were part of the problem, now be part of the solution. Discuss content not editors. If you believe another editor's edits are problematic, whining about it at an AfD, on your talk page and on mine will accomplish NOTHING. If you are unsure where to address the issue, ask. Otherwise, address the issue or drop it. - SummerPhD (talk) 07:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

This isn't worth an ANI or some other drama board, because nothing will be done but waste more bandwidth. And Pleses, spare me the "if you are unsure" crap. If you can't recognize a troll when you see one, I can't help you (I don't see you weighing in on either side of the actual deletion issue, by the way, if you want to be part of the solution). Frankly, sometimes it IS the person, and we all know that the bullies of wikipedia use these policies as WP:BAIT. Sorry to get off on such poor footing with you but I've had it with the bullies here, we just saw the resignation of the highest vote-getter on ArbCom election (28bytes) largely because of trolls, and I'm just tired of these twerps. Oh well, happy new year, I guess. Nothing changes on New Years' Day...sigh. Montanabw 07:51, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

The collapsed section of the AfD is troll food. If the other editor is, as you say, a troll, you are making it worse, not better. And no, nothing changes on New Year's Day unless you change it. If the time is right, you can break through. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:43, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Well, per this, I will take back what I said about not warning the other user. So sorry about that. As for feeding the trolls, I guess my feeling is WP:ROPE; if they escalate, they will get blocked. I don't care to be bullied and I'm not much good at ignoring personal attacks. Montanabw 22:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Cusack

Hi Summer. Thank you for your corrections of my inexperenced additions and my lack of good manners in getting back to you sooner. If you have no objections I'll take Donner60's, who seems to keep a watching brief on 'Cusack', suggestion as outlined below.

Cusack Ancestry Putting the information in a full sentence or perhaps as a clause at the end of a sentence would have been better form. This is a minor issue, of course. The main problem here is that there is no reference to the person(s) being "Norman-Irish." They are listed in the Notable Modern Cusacks section but I don't think the article establishes that all Cusacks were or are of "Norman-Irish" ancestry. Without citing a source that definitely links a modern person to a "Norman-Irish" lineage, it is technically correct to challenge the addition of that fact. If there is no definite source among those cited in the Cusack article or otherwise, I think another approach, or perhaps compromise, would be to find a stand-alone word "Cusack" in an article on an individual person and link it to the "Cusack" article. The reader could then see the information presented there and draw their own conclusion from it. Donner60 (talk) 19:28, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Claire Bonan glad you've decided to stick around. Responses to your comments under your IP address would still go there, anything new should go to your new account.

I hadn't sent you a message about your new citation as you hadn't asked for comment.

I did check your reference, though. You formatted it correctly and everything was displaying correctly. Unfortunately, the source you cited is a blog. Blogs are what we refer to as "self-published sources". Basically, because anyone can write pretty much anything they want in a blog, we do not accept them as reliable sources. I made a few changes to hopefully cover the facts of the situation. To see what those changes are (and why I made them), please go to the article, Harley Flanagan, and click the tab labeled "history" at the top of the page. Next to each edit, you can select "prev" to see changes from the previous version or "cur" to see how that version differs from the current version. If you have concerns about my presentation of the facts, you can certainly make additional changes or discuss the situation on the article's talk page.

Idina Menzel

Hi, so I edited the Idina Menzel page and didn't provide a source which you said I needed. The reason for this is because I am the source, I have loved her for years and everything I added I know 100% to be true just from years of being a fan. So I am not sure what to do so that my edit doesn't get removed, can you please let me know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serina1222 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Serina, and welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Your edit stated, "Idina's powerful voice, passion, and broadway history (mainly in Wicked and RENT) has made her a legend on the broadway stage. She has a very dedicated fanbase who refer to themselves as Fanzels." Misplaced Pages aims to provide neutral, verifiable information on notable topics. "Verifiable" is part of the problem here: Readers need to be able to check that the information came from an independent "reliable source". If you take a look at the references currently used in the article, you'll see a long list of such sources: the New York Daily News, New York magazine, Entertainment Weekly, the Times Herald-Record, The (London) Times, The Toronto Star, Variety, etc.

The second part of the problem is neutral point of view. Misplaced Pages aims to present material without bias. Your edit contains strong pro-Menzel bias. "Powerful voice", "passion", "legend", "very dedicated", etc. are all your opinion. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 14:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

National Monument to the Forefathers

Sorry but I don't believe you have ever watched Monumental. It is a very eye opening movie! The summary of the movie is that the further America gets from Judo-Christian values the more liberal( pro-gay & more violence) it becomes. Also NO ONE HAS AN UNBIASED OPION Sincerely, Truth Seeker ( I don't believe everything I hear NO MATTER THE SOURCE) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.209.247.188 (talk) 21:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I am aware that Professor Doctor high school graduate Cameron PhD MA BA AA has done a careful, unbiased analysis of a statue constructed by late 19th century Masons based on their interpretations of 17th century Brownist refugees' ideals and determined that the ideals of those religious separatists hidden in the Mason's statue represent the guiding principles of a country founded by Deists that two centuries later subsumed the territory they had formed their enclave on.

Cameron found what he set out to find. (I don't doubt you'll find "The Truth" you expect to find.) He is not a relevant academic for the National Monument to the Forefathers. He is clearly biased in favor of a conservative Christian interpretation of anything and everything he speaks about. If you feel this former actor's opinion belongs in the article, you'll want to discuss it on the talk page. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:07, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Image:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon Your recent editing history at Perri "Pebbles" Reid shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Here is the discussion on the article's talk page discussing the problems with the version you are replying to. I asked you to discuss these problems here, here and here. You responded by reverting to the problematic version without explaining why you were making most of the changes here, here and here. Your explanations for the reverts, without commenting on the issue on the article's talk page were "you dont discuss on talkbut want me to. gtfooh. i added so much meat to this article while you just revert."; "yahoo and its blog are credible."; "i added that she is 1 of 4 kids of a divorced mother, that she was preg and married at 16, and more. you didnt. just reverted. and you are still doing it. go away." and "dont write to me when YOU DONT DISCUSS. I had questions posted on the talk page and you never replied!"

Yes, you have asked me not to write on your talk page. I respect that request as much as I can. However, for a WP:3RR warning, I have no choice. Saying you asked questions that you say I didn't answer (whenever that may have been) does not give you carte blanche to make whatever changes you wish. This is still a colaborative project. (I am not sure which specific issues those are and the archiving you requested moved them to the archive before you addressed the issue.) There are numerous problems with your edit, some you will likely disagree with, some you will likely agree with. Please discuss the issues on the article's talk page. Page protection is an option if you continue to not discuss the issues. That will, however, block you from editing. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:05, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello

User:MaxBrowne has been obviously baiting me with unwarranted accusations, insults, personal attacks, and attempts to defame on a project discussion page, as a result of my good faith contribution on the thread topic, which clearly he did not like (but, that isn't my problem, and, I don't deserve the crap from him that I have received there). So I'm curious to know, who are you to decide where civility is and isn't, and how do you do that (names only? what about other forms of incivility such as harassment, baiting, false accusations, attempts to defame, as well as the personal attacks I received on that project discussion page?), how do you find consistency reverting my post on his User but not reverting any of his baiting and inappropriate, baseless, and harassing posts on WT:CHESS and my user Talk? And also, are you watching that user's page, or watching my edits? And if so, why? Last, you are not an administrator, why are you acting as if you are one? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 05:50, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Your comment stated, in part: "I have a right to say that I think you are a 100% asshole ... I don't respect you ... So I have good reason to think you are a slimeball." This is clearly a personal attack. Personal attacks are not acceptable.

Who am I to decide? If you believe that was civil and post material like it again, you will be discussing this at AN/I. I am quite confident others will find it was not civil. Whether or not you were responding to personal attacks is irrelevant. Inappropriate behavior in response to inappropriate behavior is still inappropriate behavior. That I warned you for this edit does not mean that I find all other comments made by or to you were acceptable, only that this one clearly was not. Comment on content, not editors.

I am not "acting like an administrator". You made a personal attack, I issued a standard warning. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

You're insulting my intellgence (do you realise?), by suggesting that I might not know that a name-call is uncivil. (I do. And I don't need you to point it out to me, or explain it to me.) Whether or not you were responding to personal attacks is irrelevant. I don't agree. You're taking the remarks out of context if you think that. Your philosophy Inappropriate behavior in response to inappropriate behavior is still inappropriate behavior is trivially true, but sidesteps a deeper and more significant truth that I am a fucking human being with limited patience, and after taking too much unwarranted crap from somebody like MaxBrowne, I tend to tell them what I think. So forgive me for being human. It seems to me you're getting a kick out of looking for incivility infraction and inserting yourself like a self-anointed Wiki civility "policeman". That is pretty shallow, as it seems to support enforcing brittle rules blindly, out-of-context, that are dysfunctional to begin with because other forms of incivility that precipitated a remark go unnoticed and unpunished. (What kind of thoughtful, intelligent human being would subscribe to such a system?) If you expect me to be a robot and have unlimited patience after a series of insults and attacks, then you expectations need adjustment, not my behavior. You pomopously tell me Comment on content, not editors, which is again something I did not need to be told, and, if you peruse the WT:CHESS thread in question, you'll see I did just that, and the other editor initiated a series of baits and unwarranted personal accuses and remarks which you did not respond to in same fasion. So I question your consistency. I'm also wondering who you think you are still, and why you decided to insert yourself. Enforcing rules according to shallow, brittle policy, is a form of incivility, or, haven't you thought about it? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC) p.s. Ever heard of Malleus? He has called editors "cunts", and he always gets unblocked early, if there ever has been a block for what he has said that was "uncivil". Do you like to pick on me instead of him, because I'm a less-known editor? Or how about your objective and fair and rationale comparison of it?

Recognizing that your behavior was uncivil is a first step. The next step is to be civil.

I do not expect you to be a robot. I expect you to not make personal attacks. If personal attacks are directed at you, I would encourage you to warn the offending editor with escalating warnings designed for that purpose, culminating in administrator action if required. Inappropriate behavior is inappropriate behavior regardless of any justification offered.

I do not intend to respond to blanket characterizations of unrelated situations.

I am an editor reminding another editor of our policies. If you feel this is inappropriate or a personal attack, I can only offer my assurances that it is a central part of our editing process. Otherwise, there would not be a large stock of standardized warning templates, such as the one I used. - SummerPhD (talk) 07:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

You are expecting me to behave like a robot, if you expect machine-perfection of "never not being uncivil" in response to a series of accusations, insults, personal attacks, that I was subject to. You expect perfection from me, because of an easily-spotted name-call, but you grossly overlook all the crap sent my way as explained many times to you already. (So, you're enforcing policy? That includes enforcing it unevenly? Because that is easier for you?)

As far as warning the other party of the personal attacks and incivilities he sent to my attention, tell me Summer, what good is that? (How does that get administrator solution or involvement? At ANI? ANI is a cesspool most usually. Many editors go there to be the first to say "BOOMERANG" and feel puffed up about themselves. Editors who like drama are attracted to contribute many times to ANI, making it a cesspool of irresponsibility. So, I will never go to ANI or open a thread there for any purpose, whatever, ever. Simply because I refuse to allow myself to be subjected to unwarranted abuse. Many of the arguments there are irresponsible attempts at mud-slinging and lynching, adding to the stench at ANI.) So without ANI to go to for assistance to stop harassment by another editor, what do you recommend? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 09:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC) p.s. BTW just because templates exist, does not mean it is civil to use them. Some regular editors take offense to being templated. (Am I considered a "regular" yet? ) And you know what? Essays exist and are bandied about as wikilinks, and many of those are down-right uncivil by their very nature, for e.g., WP:DICK. I'm curious what you have to say about that, seeing that it is an uncivil name-call even by its very title.)

If you do not follow WP:NPA, you will end up at AN/I, it's that simple. "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Misplaced Pages. Comment on content, not on the contributor." - SummerPhD (talk) 12:58, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't need your reminders or warnings or admonishments. I see now that you are non-responsive to any thoughtful question I have, and simply repeat stridently "You broke a rule!" That's so brittle and thoughtless, I don't know how to respond to you. I told you at least twice that your informing me of something I already know, is insulting. Your selective templating is biased, and seems to be based on "bad words", which is an incomplete, shallow, and dysfunctional view of incivility. Your warning me about taking me to ANI is also problematical, since, aggrieved parties go there with their issues, not 3rd-party parties on behalf of aggrieved parties. (Otherwise I've seen the 3rd parties questioned as to their motives from bringing ANIs where they are not involved.) You seem to have a thoughtless and shallow "wiki-cop" mentality of enforcing rules based on brittle and shallow interpretation of incivility, and frankly, that's boring and a waste of time and attention. You go in circles and never discuss anything except your shallow rules interpretation and making threats. All of that behavior is uncivil, I don't suppose you recognize that? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

As you have acknowledged, you made a personal attack. Your numerous arguments as to why your breech of our policy is not a problem do not change this. Don't do it again. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:29, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Of course I acknowledged that. But, is this a joke? Or simple harassment? I feel like I'm talking to an automaton. This might come as a big shock to you, but this has not been a conversation or discussion. You have nothing important or interesting to say. Your selective interpretation of WP:CIV by willful unrecognition of obvious baiting and construction of unnecessary and out-of-bounds attack page on a WP project thread demands none of my respect. You are not my boss. You seem to have a self-perception of "Wiki-cop", and quite frankly, that's boring and not interesting or a good use of my time paying any attention to you. Please go away and convince others you are as important to WP civility enforcement as you seem to think of yourself. And I don't want you coming to my Talk page anymore. This has not been a conversation. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 01:52, 24 January 2014 (UTC) p.s. Are you a bot?

As a general rule, when discussing your personal attacks in violation of our policy, it is a bad idea to make personal attacks. Per your request, I will not visit your talk page again unless it becomes necessary to take the issue to AN/I. At that point I am obligated to notify you on your talk page and will do so. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

That is so insulting! "Our policy" As if you are some fucking owner, and I'm some fucking visitor. (Jesus!) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry if that part of our conversation confused you. We -- you and I -- are both fucking owners. Even if you feel you are exempt from one of our policies, so long as you are part of Misplaced Pages they are equally your polices. My final note to you: You have been repeatedly warned by numerous editors not to make personal attacks. You have acknowledged that you are making personal attacks. If you honestly believe any of your justifications for ignoring our policy will suffice at AN/I, you might have to learn the hard way. I'd prefer it not come to that. It's your choice. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Preachy much? And how many times did you push words in my mouth in your above paragraph, that I never said or implied? (That is also uncivil, hello!) You ignore what incivility you like to, and go around pretending you are important by tagging obvious bad words, because that is convenient and easy. The WP:CIV policy is egregiously flawed, if you have any sense with what has been currently going on in the WP for the last years. Your shallowness and brittleness is headache-inducing. What an annoyance you are! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 15:22, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Couple theoretical Qs for you, Summer (since you are so expert at picking out personal attacks): 1) Is calling another editor a "bully" a personal attack in your view? 2) If answer is yes, then: Is telling another editor to "stop your bullying" substantively the same, or substantively different? (I'm not meaning the grammatical answer, as from an English teacher on a grammar question; I'm meaning in the real world of WP civility enforcement, of which you are an expert. ) Are my Qs clear or have I confused you? Cheers, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 20:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

This, of course, is another way of saying you were justified in your attacks because you were merely attacking back. Arguments as to why your breech of our policy is not a problem do not change anything. Don't do it again. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:25, 25 January 2014 (UTC)c

I have no idea how you got off to a tangent like that, or even what you mean. My Qs were straightforward, and didn't hint or suggest anything under cover as your paranoid thinking apparently likes to imagine. There is nothing wrong with my Qs as is, you shouldn't see ghosts in every sentence as you do, it makes your message and communication incomprehensible. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 07:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC) p.s. You took good-faith Qs, and somehow turned them into a need for another pointless warning. How the hell you did that, I'll never know, and quite frankly, don't want to know, because knowing how you got to such dysfunction won't help me any in any way.

It's interesting to see how you template me on my User talk with "Comment on content, not on the contributor", but then when you see other editors sending derogatory personal comments to my attention in the WT:CHESS thread (accusations of "bullying", falsely and without basis accusing me of "bludgeoning anyone with a different opinion", name-calling me a rude person, "having thin skin", commenting on what the user thinks my personality is like e.g. "not a comfortable combination", etc.), you call it "bickering" and collapse it and call it a day. (Consistent much!? Why haven't you templated those users since they have clearly engaged in personal comments and insults and attacks?? Where's your consistency?? Do you think their comments weren't derogatory towards me?? Do you think their comments weren't personal towards me?? Do you think their comments weren't insults and personal attacks?? How do you justify templating me to "comment on content, not on the contributor", then at same time take a blind eye to the shit thrown at me that is personal and derogatory/insulting?? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 08:28, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I also take offense to you characterizing my response to User:MaxBrowne's baits and taunts and personal accusations and insults as "bickering". (I do not "bicker". I make my case, and in my response, I didn't get personal or attack him as he did me. The fact is his taunts and accuses and personal stuff was baseless and no doubt intentionally inflamatory, and I don't take baits like that and lower myself to get in pointless emotional squabbles as he clearly was trying to trigger. I think I'm better than that. But I did point out he was issuing personal derogatory comments again, that were unprompted and without basis. How is that "bickering" exactly according to you?? Do you realize that you have insulted me by asserting that I would choose to "bicker" with such an editor? Does it make you feel good to play the superior role while insulting me that I'm a lowly "bickerer"??) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 08:59, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

• Ihardlythinkso, if you have a problem with a user you can find acceptable ways to handle it. There's RfC/U, there's ANI, there's old-fashioned hate mail with a stamp on it. Cussing and yelling on Misplaced Pages is not an appropriate way. Whatever they did, however wrong they are, you're wrong too. So drop all this commentary here, which is starting to sound like harassment. I'm not kidding: consider this a warning. Suck it up and move on; I'll be glad to look into some dispute, but first you have to leave Summer alone. Drmies (talk) 14:53, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I hear you Drmies, I've concluded Summer is over her head with understanding the inconsistency of what she thinks she's doing, the reason I continued is that I liked to think that wasn't the case and this editor could round out a bit rather than continue with all the brittleness. But I disagree with you on the point that to respond with a brief incivility to editors who initiate obvious baiting and taunting and personal attacks, is wrong. (The "two wrongs don't make a right" thing is oversimplistic view of things. For example Malleus has many times told such editors where to go. Have you advised him the same as you have advised me?) Also I need you to know, ANI is off limits to me as venue for anything, it is a completely broken cesspool of irresponsibility. And the RfC/U's I've seen haven't impressed any better in fact they have been worse. There is an overwhelming recognition on the Pedia that WP:CIV is incomplete, inept, unevenly enforced, and used as a club against editors one doesn't like. You know all these things, I know you do. I did not know anything about user Summer so my attempted dialogue with her was very informative for me. But again I understand what you're saying and thank you for stopping by. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 17:21, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

You may or may not be hearing Drmies. To clarify, he's clearly not your biggest fan. Hell, he's made it quite clear on your talk page that he does not appreciate your personal attacks. This makes it pretty clear as well. Consider this my final word on the issue: Personal attacks are not acceptable on Misplaced Pages. You feel you have no option because taking the issue it AN/I is to boomerang. You're probably right. However, you do not have the right to make more personal attacks in an attempt to avoid discussing your prior personal attacks at AN/I. Let's make this simple: The next personal attack I see you make won't be condensed, hatted, warned and forgotten. It will be discussed at AN/I. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:58, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Pathetic. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 11:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Eric Corbett just today called an editor "asshole" on that user's Talk. Are you going to template Eric for making a personal attack (as you did me)? Don't you think calling someone an "asshole" is making a personal attack?! Are you going to threaten Eric with taking him to ANI if he does again (as you did to me)? Or is it that you think Eric deserves none of your reminders, admonishments and threats, but on the other hand, those are fine for you to issue to me, instead?! If you have an answer or rationale, could you please explain it clearly. Thanks! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 10:08, 7 February 2014 (UTC) p.s Or if you don't want to do that, then can you agree to leave me alone, as you have to-date left Eric alone? Some consistency would be nice (or don't you think so?).

If you see an editor making a personal attack, feel free to warn them. That's how Misplaced Pages works. Your continued belief that you should be free to make personal attacks because either "he hit me first" or "but he's doing it too" is immaterial. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't enjoy you paraphrasing what I said according to your own over-simplified memes that toddlers use. Your "that's the way Misplaced Pages works" translates to "that's how Misplaced Pages demonstrates the moral ineptitude of its CIV policy and ongoing support for kangaroo court lynchings at ANI". And why are you stalking my edits, SummerPhD?? (You just admitted you didn't "see" Eric's edit, yet you "saw" mine.) I also notice that YOU have violated WP:CIV in ... what is it ... six or seven different ways. (Why is it you've been blind to that, and only attack others with your prudish admonishments and pointless threats? ) Do you think you have any credibility, Summer!? You apparently believe in third-party action. Fine. I just alerted you to Eric's name-calling an editor an "asshole" on that user's Talk. So time for you to rev-up your third-party Wiki-police motor and go template and threaten Eric the same as you did me. Why is it that you are not interested to do that? Because you weren't witness to it? I just made you aware of it. What's the difference in substance? A breach is a breach, you don't think so? I think what you mean "That's how Misplaced Pages works" is that you are free to selectively harass if you want, or do any other selective and inconsist thing that you want, without complaint, as long as you do not name-call someone, but it is just fine if you are uncivil in many other less obvious ways. "That's how Misplaced Pages works" ... as though it works well. (Funny.) Do you mean like never in the history of WP an admin being blocked for making personal attacks!? Misplaced Pages can "work" for you apparently, as long as you can continue your selective stalking, pointless templating, and pompous threats. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 23:46, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Your choice, not mine. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:35, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

And just how is that any kind of intelligible response to anything in my post?! Eric called someone an "asshole". Go get him. Go template him. Like you did me. Go threaten him, like you did me. Go admonish him, like you did me. Or explain why there is any difference whatsoever in this wiki-world. (And do make your explanation clear and plain, if that is possible for you to do. Else clearly and simply keep your stupid comments off my Talk once and forever.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 08:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Your comment above contains personal attacks. This is not your Talk. Your choices are to not make personal attacks or leave the project (whether voluntarily or not). That is not a threat, that is a choice we all have. If you see another editor's behavior as problematic, address it yourself. I have nothing further for you. Now it is your choice. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Your comment above contains personal attacks. Are you sure you know what you're talking about? And assuming you do, are you suggesting that personal attacks are OK if they are made on a user's own Talk? (It seems you are. Can you point to policy on that?) I'd like to see you go tell Eric Corbett what his "choices are". (And then, how he responds to you!) I'm glad you have nothing further for me, because this thread has been awesomely boring and headache-inducing. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 18:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

"And do make your explanation clear and plain, if that is possible for you to do. Else clearly and simply keep your stupid comments..." Personal attacks are not acceptable anywhere on Misplaced Pages. - SummerPhD (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

All that shows is that you do not understand what constitutes a personal attack on the Misplaced Pages. (More headache from you. Thanks.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 18:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

You have argued your personal attacks are justified and therefore acceptable. You are mistaken. You have argued I have no standing to warn you for personal attacks. You are mistaken. You have argued that fear of an AN/I boomerang somehow has bearing on this. You are mistaken. You have argued that unless I am policing everyone you should be exempt. You are mistaken. You are not arguing that your personal attacks are not personal attacks. You are mistaken.

You seem be spending MUCH less time on talk pages discussing other editors since I warned you that your next personal attack would result in an AN/I thread. This seems to indicate understanding. This is progress. The fact remains: Your next personal attack will result in an AN/I thread. All further comment from you here defending your personal attacks will receive only this response: WP:NPA. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:09, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

You draw wrong conclusions, Summer. (I don't think any of the things you said, nor have I made any of the arguments you've attributed.) I'd rather listen to someone scratching a blackboard with fingernails than anything you think you have to say. You've selectively targeted me in your self-appointed Wiki-cop activity, you disregard incivilities and personal attacks from others and from yourself, while clamoring loudly about me. You've already demonstrated faulty understanding what constitutes personal attack, and faulty understanding of who brings a case to ANI and for what. You bore me to chicken litter. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 19:43, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:NPA. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:56, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm not surprised. (Look up earlier in this thread. I referred to lack of thoughtfullness in responses as though from that of an automaton. I could program an automaton to "speak" with only templates and WP:XXX in its vocabulary.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) p.s. I asked you earlier if you thought WP:DONTBEADICK is a personal attack in your estimation. No answer. (Why?) I see now there is also WP:DONTBESUCHAPUSSY and WP:DONTBEANAL. I did not create or support them. (They seem inherent PAs to me.) I merely asked you what you think. (Personally I think if WP is serious about NPA, it s/ start with removal of those essays, which are out of tune with NPA in addition to CIV.)

WP:NPA - SummerPhD (talk) 03:34, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Summer, User:Eric Corbett just within the last few hours called an editor "fucking idiot", which I'm abosolutely sure is a PA in your book. No one is doing anything about it. So why aren't you defending the WP from PAs, since no one else is?! Why aren't you templating and admonishing and threatening Eric with ANI, as you did me?! How do you explain the consistency of picking on me?! Because I am a "nobody" and he is a "somebody"? Is that your standard? It is OK for him to issue PAs with liberal abandon, and you don't lift a finger, and no one else does either, yet you want to come down on me hard for any name-call? Do you like to pick on the weaker editor, and avoid the stronger editor, because that is easy for you? (Hey! Bullies like to pick on the weaker guys, they avoid the stronger guys, because they might fight back and give the bully a "black eye". Is that your same rationale that explains why you pick on me and ignore Eric's transgressions against the CIV & NPA pillar? I am just trying to understand the innermost inconsistency of your putrid set of principles that you so zealously uphold ... will you help me in that endeavor?! Or will you continue to avoid and deny and avoid and deny?!?) If someone else was doing something about Eric's clear transgression of NPA, then I could understand your reluctance, since then someone else would be "handling it", wouldn't they. But that is not the case. No one is. So why aren't you on Eric's Talk page right now, with your template warning and admonishment and threat, same as you did to me. If you don't do it Summer, no one else clearly is. What about that? How do you explain and defend your selective interest in CIV and NP according to the user?! I really want to know. Please give me some semblance of a logical answer. Your other option is to hide behind your WP:NPA template response. Go to it. Show me your best. I'm waiting. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 11:40, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:NPA - SummerPhD (talk) 18:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

• Ihardlythinkso, by now you're just baiting and it's time to stop. Half the world has already visited Eric's talk page in the last few days; there is no conceivable reason why Summer should do so. You see something wrong? WP:SOFIXIT. You warn him, if you think he needs to be warned. Now, Summer is a nice person and hasn't asked you to refrain from posting here, so I'm doing it. Please refrain from posting here if all you have is personal attacks (the bully commentary) and baiting. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 05:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Drmies, you seem to be missing the point also. The point is one of consistency -- how inconsistent CIV enforcement is defended and supported. I would expect a person like Summer, who seems to go by the "letter of the law", would see it fit to rethink consistency issue when presented to her. (I never suggested she wasn't a "nice person". This is about ideas and how an editor justifies possessing them loudly. Nothing personal. I was really interested in a thoughtful response. ) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:26, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:NPA - SummerPhD (talk) 12:43, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, you're kind of missing my point. The very first section in this thread is about your claim that you were being baited, and now, I maintain, you are doing the same by basically challenging her to go issue some warning to someone unrelated to this affair. The civility policy may well be applied inconsistently, but that's not Summer's fault and at any rate situations are often incredibly different--as you should know, since you yourself argue that you had a right to use profanity because you were baited. What you call "inconsistency" may also well be a different set of circumstances judged to be worthy or not worthy of a warning or a block or whatever.

But why don't you just show a better side and leave this be? Summer is not an admin, she won't block anyone, and she can hardly be made a party to the supposed inconsistent application of our civility policy. I can be--and here my judgment is that you need to stop this, since you're badgering the witness. Summer says she already answered your question, and that should suffice. If you're not satisfied with the answer, what good do you think this thread will do? You think after all the derogatory comments you heaped on her she would have a sudden change of heart and say, oh, yeah, they must have a good point after all? That is unreasonable. So stop pressing the point, please. Drmies (talk) 17:22, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The fact that CIV is applied inconsistently, in my view, s/ give anyone pause that chooses to loudly enforce CIV arbitrarily and selectively. I was insulted and a user took a project Talk page and attempted to create a personal attack page out of it, to defame me. The same editor removed posts by another user on that page that spelled out some of that user's behavior and illustrative post(s). Since no one gives a damn about me when I'm attacked, and I will forever not allow myself the venue of ANI out of disgust with the environment there, I'm left to defend myself from the crap, which might include telling someone where to go. (I'm sure you understand all of that.) The question on my mind with Summer wasn't simply inconsistent enforcement of CIV between users, but also topic of what constitutes CIV and NPA re inappropriate use of Project space to attack and attempt to defame a user. I never said or argued that I "had a right to use profanity". No one ever asked me what my defense is for using it (p.s. is "slimeball" profanity? I'm not sure but don't think so). I've already "let this be" as you requested, Drmies, the last post was not to Summer's attention. Since as you say "different set of circumstances judged to be worthy or not worthy of a warning or a block or whatever", that is all find and dandy, but I think you are describing an evaluative process that an admin makes, not a user like Summer. Even though this message isn't for Summer I would like to apologize to her for rude comments I did make. (My obective was to get her to think more about the fallicies of a broken CIV policy and consequent brokenness of enforcement endeavors, especially a black-and-white and selective one, and you are right, I blew it by being rude.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 19:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC) p.s. Drmies, Summer has on several occasions threatened (guaranteed) she'd open ANI against me on any NPA she deems she sees from me for future. Could you advise her, please, that that isn't the thing to do? (Thx.)

You may not like ANI but it's really the only place for certain things--at least after other options are exhausted. Instead of saying "you're a 100% asshole" (difficult to quantify anyway), you could have slapped a personal attack-IV warning on their talk page, maybe, and then alerted an admin. (Or, if this is a pattern with the user, start an RfC/U--but I say this only for the sake of completeness, not because it applies.) Lots of people don't like ANI, and in part that's possibly their own fault, but ANI does sometimes achieve result--but only, of course, if the complainer keeps a cool head. Now, don't say that no one cares--Summer warned the other user as well, and I would have done the same thing. (And I'm sure she's got better things to do than to start ANI threads.) Ihardlythinkso, typically in such a fight, where outside judgment and arbitration are necessarily involved, guess who wins: the one with the cooler head, the one who makes the better argument. Let me know if you run into more problems with that editor: you know, I hope, that I'll give you (and them) an honest opinion and won't be afraid to act on it. Drmies (talk) 20:16, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Interesting. Admin TParis took User:StillStanding-247 to ANI over an ill-advised off-color joke he attempted to make, all the while wailing and moaning and bellowing emotionally how his equanimity and/or life was shattered and demanding his head on a pike. He got his way in addition to a flood of support, while the cool-headed StillStanding got banned. (So much for your theory of hottest head not prevailing; or does that apply only to non-admins? Another problem with the theory that coolest head prevails, it suggests that an editor with unclean motives and zero basis can get away with murder there by being the coolest head. And I've seen a lot of that kind of dirty expertise already.) I really despise ANI and will never go there. The only thing MaxBrowne has ever complimented me on is that I "at least don't template" other users. (!) My understanding is that a worded message is equivalent if not better than a templated one!? If I alerted an admin that means I'd have to choose one, and even if I liked said admin I'm sure she/he wouldn't enjoy getting involved in the dirt. And if I asked a specific admin for help wouldn't that be considered canvassing?! And recall that I did ask for help from the only admin I know at WP:CHESS (Sjakkalle), and it is clear to me he went out of his way to find a spot on me which he then proclaimed in ANI-like fasion was sufficient cause to conclude both parties were equally at fault and to do nothing. (Besides BS, that was offensive as well, and I'll have no more to do with that admin in future as result.) I've looked thru MaxBrowne's User Talk history , and there's nothing there from Summer to MaxBrowne over the personal attack thread he created at WT:CHESS that I found tacky and underhanded and offensive and caused me to go tell him off. (I think you are confusing her post at his Talk from an earlier additional incident of personally offensive remarks directed against me by that user.) So I was right when I said no one cared in the current incident. If Summer has no interest in starting third-party-initiated ANI threads then isn't it reasonable that she should stop waving it as warning/threat? As far as turning to you if MaxBrowne continues his illegal smear campaign against me, well, though I have some decent respect for your objectivity when you need to call on it, you've already expressed your opinion (bias) that you think I'm "worse than MaxBrowne", which is really an insult because I feel that editor is an underhanded and unethical cheat, so, would it be rational for me to expect objectivity from you unless I felt your expression against me was not genuinely sincere and made out of spite!? (Actually I think your remark was probably made out of spite. But one additional thing you did was to utilize MaxBrowe's illicit Project page attack thread with same purpose/intent as MaxBrowne.) I know you hate me from the beginning, Drmies, because I criticized your friend admin Dennis Brown. And several of his friends, not only you, have unleashed their displeasure against me in various ways at various times for that (though Basalisk for one did finally recognize the faultiness of that and apologized) and these admins I never had any interaction with at all in any venue. (Admins hang together in friend-cliques, and with the crudgels held ... it has probably produced the most detrimental and poisonous aspect currently existing in the WP today. That and a hostile and abusive environment unable to be controlled, and when attempted to be controlled by individual admins, produces not only uneven attempts, but enforcement at whim, which has created a cover too, for selective grudge-blocks under guise of "helping out".)

Categories

I was going through the page list of fictional terrorists; perhaps that page should be deleted given none of it appears to be sourced? I'm not familiar with most of these characters, if their pages do not include the word terrorist I will remove the category. CensoredScribe (talk) 01:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

It is becoming clear that you do not know how to create a category, much less when you should. In addition to your additions to the new category being original research, the category has been deleted repeatedly. Had you checked the page Category:Fictional_terrorists, you would have found that the category has been deleted after a deletion discussion, Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_March_23#Category:Fictional_terrorists. Your "new" category has exactly the same problem. Please remove the category from all of the articles and seriously consider whether or not your category creations are worth the headaches they are creating. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:56, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I tagged the page List of fictional terrorists for deletion. I will be posting a very serious concern on the talk page for terrorism; this term is undefinable, and therefore unencylopedic. Rapist, arsonist, spy, soldier, criminal and murderer all have actual definitions and both real and fictional people are categorized as such. The class for the terrorism page needs to be lowered. Also it might take a day or two to remove all the characters listed as terrorists; but I will do so this weekend. CensoredScribe (talk) 02:31, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Seriously, creating more categories at this point would be a bad idea. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Disruptive user 108.48.144.42

Hi SummerPhD, I believe you previously commented on an AN/I report involving IP 108.48.144.42, but nothing came from it. I have re-reported the user, so if you have any input or just wanna gripe, the report is (for now) here: WP:ANI#Disruptive editing from 108.48.144.42. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

This edit summary of yours cracks me up every time I read it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

While I'm glad you enjoy it, I was trying to be objective. I think I came about as close as a mere mortal could. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Heheh. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

For the love of god send him to ANI again. He's creating so many shit categories that the effort I'm putting in to empty things like Category:Slave owner (added to the pages on the first 4 American presidents), Category:Fictional heartless, or Category:Fictional religious figures is causing my computer to screech to a halt. He needs to be stopped.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

In a strange twist, he sent me to ANI after I found him crying to Jimbo.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

List of gangs in the United States

Hello. Your edit to the List of gangs in the United States is understood. It turns out that "Tango Orejon" is the "Tango" gang name used in San Antonio, TX and the gang is already mentioned on this page: Puro Tango Blast.

My gift for you

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

for starting an SPI into me without bothering to do the slightest research. See my reply at the SPI....William 15:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

It must be tough living in a world where everyone else is wrong and out to get you. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:17, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Agree with the trout

I agree with the trouting but because I don't care about getting blocked I am going to call you out here. What you did was nothing more than personal attacks intended to discredit me plain and simple. I told you specifically who I was at the ANI and you still submitted to SPI. So to me this SPI is nothing more than an attempt o discredit me for calling out 2 administrators. Whether you want to admit it or see it admin abuse is rampant on this site and its driving editors away. Nyttend and Orlady have both acted abusively working as a team to show WilliamJE how editors are dealt with when they fail to address admins in the manner they feel like they deserve. Its disgraceful and in violation of policy. They both have had issues in the past, they both have been sent to ANI multiple times and they both have been mentioned in Arbcom sanctions multiple times and let go (admonished). For you to jump to conclusions here without doing the slightest amount of research does you discredit and makes you look stupid. I highly recommend in the future if you are going to submit someone to SPI make sure its a valid complaint and not just a message to discredit them for submitting admins to ANI. If policy was actuall followed on this site that action could get you blocked. 108.48.100.44 (talk) 15:49, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm wrong just as much as anyone else and I don't think everyone is out to get me. Unfortunately quite a few are and Misplaced Pages doesn't do anything about those folks if they are admins. 108.48.100.44 (talk) 03:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

It must be tough living in a world where almost everyone else is wrong and out to get you. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Your mistake "SummerPhD", it'd look better for you to say "oops, my mistake, sorry about that." The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Ah, yes, the rules of civil discourse... - SummerPhD (talk) 00:04, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Speaking of which, 108.48.100.44 has been blocked for personal attacks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:31, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Winx club

You sent me a message that asks why did I deleted some contents in the page of Winx Club. To answer your question, I deleted the contents because they were false. I have a request for you which is to remove what you have restored please. I apologise if I deleted them unexpectedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristi Islam (talk • contribs) 01:28, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I do not know if the information is correct or not, so I cannot remove it. If you believe the information is incorrect and wish to remove it, you may do so. Explain why in the edit summary. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:34, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Nazareth, Pennsylvania‎

Hi. We seem to have disagreeing guidelines here; not at all an unusual situation on Misplaced Pages. You referenced some talk, but I did not see any at the article's talk page. WP:USCITIES#External links seems to approve of using convention and visitor's bureau links; in many cities the CVB and the chamber are the same organization. I really didn't see the relevance of #13 in WP:ELNO. It is commonplace to have chamber links in settlement articles, although some of them can be very commercial. So I guess my question is, are you objecting to links to chambers of commerce in general, or to something specific about this one? John from Idegon (talk) 23:27, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Apparently you have now created a section at the article talk page so I will copy most of this to there. John from Idegon (talk) 23:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Your deletions at Talk:AC power plugs and sockets‎

I reverted you. I sympathize, but WP:DENY is merely an essay. WP:TALK is a guideline... not policy, but it's still ranked above any essays. WP:TALK pretty clearly says we're not supposed to delete or edit others' comments from talk pages, except in one of a very clearly defined set of circumstances (like copyvios or BLP issues), and none of those apply as far as I can tell. WP:DENY does not suggest deleting material from talk pages. Nor did I really see "recurring vandalism". If talk page abuse continues, the right thing is to take it to RFC/U or ANI.

Big Bertha other uses

Can you please tell me why you removed my addition to the list of "other uses" for the term Big Bertha? I had listed an Estes model rocket by that name, and you removed it. I look forward to hearing from you. GungaDan (talk) 10:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC) GungaDan, 7 FEB 2014

Your edit added a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, an item on a redirect list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. For example, I have a friend named John Smith. He's a nice enough guy, but he's not (so far) WP:NOTABLE. As such, he shouldn't be listed on the disamb page John Smith, the list page List of people from New York City, etc. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:29, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
