My RFA

Hi OwenX, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Misplaced Pages may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Babe Ruth

I'm posting this message on you Talk Page either because you've contributed to the article Babe Ruth, or because you've edited other baseball or sports related articles. I've recently completed a revision of this article at Babe Ruth/rewrite. If you have the time, I'd appreciated it if you'd compare the articles and leave any feedback you might have on the rewrite discussion page. I'd like to reach a consensus before makeing major changes to the main article. Thanks for your help. --djrobgordon 20:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Abercrombie and Firth.

Please be careful not to remove content from Misplaced Pages without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. 71.112.12.93 04:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Please don't play games with me. In this edit of yours you removed most of the text from the second paragraph, for no good reason. If you continue this way, you will be blocked from editing. Owen× ☎ 04:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

My removal was a good-faith (see WP:AGF) accidental effect as I tried to add more content. You blindly reverted, removing my addition. Please don't threaten me. You have neither cause nor authority to block me from editing. 71.112.12.93 06:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Your text removal may have been done in good faith, but your subsequent comment on my talk page was both dismissive and rude. Offensive and disruptive behaviour is, in and by itself, cause for blocking, and you will find out that I do have the authority to do so. Owen× ☎ 13:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

66.229.17.88

User 66.229.17.88 added 'nonsense' to the Super Bowl page, by changing the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl games to 50, wins 50, losses 0, and percentage as .sweet. You can see that at this link: . I reverted the edit, but I thought you might like to know about this since I've seen that 66.229.17.88 has been blocked in the past. myselfalso 07:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

my monobook.js again

Well, I'm back, and wondering if you could help me out again.(sorry) I would like to change the test messages to read out in this format:

Regarding your edits to ]:

{{subst:testX}}

~~~~

Note the 2 blank lines above the message. The blanking and test1a warnings can be removed, I never use them. Could you explain how to do this to me? Thanks, Prodego 00:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Got it, thanks again! Prodego 01:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I have it pretty much the way I want it except, I want 2 lines above the header, not one, and I can't figure out how to change that. And also, I want 1 line above the test message and 1 above the signature. While I was able to change the header text the way I wanted it, and remove the blanking and test1a messages, the adding of blank lines lines I don't understand, I think it involves the from_page part, but I dont know how to change that. Could you explain this? Thanks,

Prodego 03:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

In case you missed the above, here is a nice new messages banner :-). Prodego 03:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! It is perfect!(well actually there was one line missing, but I saw how you added lins and had no problem adding one more) Again thanks! Prodego 01:45, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Female bodybuilding

A bit of a dispute has arisen on the female bodybuilding page about including a particular site in the "external links" section. So far, there seem to be just two of us weighing in - one (me) wants to keep it, and the other wants to remove it. Both of us have posted our reasons on the talk page. There are a few things on which I was hoping we could get some administrator input:

1. My stance is that the link should stay in the article until a consensus is reached. The other guy has removed it twice already, announcing that it's removed "pending vote". This seems backwards, since the link in question has been in the article for at least six months.

2. There seems to be a disagreement on the interpretation of policies about linking to sites with commercial content. My stance is that some commercial content is OK, providing that there is a significant amount of free content that supplements the material in the article. The other guy seems to believe that no commercial content is acceptable.

3. Is calling for a "vote" on the discussion page the right way to go about deciding this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, fbb_fan 16:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. fbb_fan 03:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Nesher Malt beer.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nesher Malt beer.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 04:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Monobook.js again again

A new problem. The warn tab at the top of diffs dosen't appear in Firefox(It works in IE though) Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed? Everything else works fine in Firefox, just this one tab... Thanks again, Prodego 23:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Error message under Javascript Console:

Unterminated String Literal(line 535)

This is line 535:

tabs.appendChild(addlilink('javascript:warn_vandal("' + vandalname + '","' + page + '")', 'Warn'));

Are quotes the problem? Prodego 00:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

It could also invove this line:

+ '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s">/script>')

Prodego 00:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, try it now with Firefox, and let me know if it still doesn't work. Owen× ☎ 20:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

No luck, it dosen't work in IE that way either. Prodego 22:52, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Never mind I'll use Maxthon instead, thanks though! Prodego 02:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Johnson, Christopher Amos

Hi, I see you deleted this article in response to my speedy deletion notice. Thanks, but.. could you restore the article? I have been discussing this with the author on the talk page and I think this needs to go to AfD given the author's objection. I expect that the AfD will result in the re-deletion of the page, but I want to give its author a fair chance to improve his article. Thanks, Gwernol 21:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply: I misread the deletion log. D'oh. I'm following up with Neutrality. Thanks for your help, Gwernol 21:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to return to this. I left Neutrality a message on his talk page, but have heard nothing back. Any chance you could help out with this. As you can see from the comments left on the article's talk page there is some support for undeleting this article and moving to AfD. Many thanks, Gwernol 23:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Beer Categories

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Jonbenet

Would you like to mediate on the upcoming argument between myself and User: Mirror Vax? He seems to me like an editor who's up for edit-warring and POV-pushing so it won't be easy unless an experienced wikipedian is present. He refuses to acknowledge my sources and continues to insist on his POV description of the events. Furthermore he keeps reverting all of my edits without giving any reason. I've already started a discussion in the talk page, but I doubt that he will ever participate (his last revert ignored my comments). Your help would be appreciated.

Why do we have so few engineers as Wikipedians?

I am trying to understand why there are so few Wikipedians who are graduate engineers. Once I get a grasp on that, perhaps I may be able to formulate some ideas on how to attract more experienced engineers to become Wikipedians. It would be very helpful if you would respond to these a few questions:

• Are you a university graduate engineer?
• Please indicate in which of these engineering disciplines you obtained your degree:
  1. Aeronautical or aerospace engineering
  2. Bioengineer or biological engineering
  3. Chemical engineering
  4. Civil engineering
  5. Electrical engineering
  6. Environmental engineering
  7. Mechanical engineering
  8. Petroleum engineering
  9. Other
• In what year did you obtain your degree?
• What attracted you to participate in Misplaced Pages?

Please respond on my User talk:mbeychok page. Or you may respond to me via Misplaced Pages's email which I have enabled on my User:mbeychok page.

If you would rather not respond at all, that's fine also. Regards, - mbeychok 04:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. It's been long time.

Hi OwenX, I suddenly remember you that you worked very hard to catch vandalism last year. So, How are you doing? In last year, I didn't have my ID in wikipedia, so I used IP. This ID I made in March, 3, 2006. Last time, I didn't know how to use Misplaced Pages, and anything about vandalism. So, Thanks for your advices in last year. Right now, I do really hard work to be administrator, so You became Misplaced Pages's administrator long time ago. I'm so glad that you came back to Misplaced Pages. I just remember Wikipedian Worker in last year. I used IP in last year. So, Some of them remember you. Anyways, Glad to see you again. I have one question about the way of becoming administrator of wikipedia because I want to become administrator of Misplaced Pages. Please Send Me message, and explain to me the way of becoming Misplaced Pages's administrator. Bye~!! Have a great time with Misplaced Pages. Daniel5127, 01:10, 8 May 2006(UTC)

Vandalism?

Hi, Apparently you sent me a message about vandalising a page about Scotiabank and PC Financial but I don't know what you are talking about. I have registered this account on WikiPedia for a while now and haven't been using it until yesterday. Also, I have not visited whatever page that you are talking about. Please clarify this. Or maybe someone used my account? Is this the right section to send a comment? I'm new here.

Thanks, FirefoxRocks 20:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

You started posting on July 13--not yesterday--as you can clearly see here. During your brief editing session that day, you made deliberately erroneous changes to List of banks in Canada and List of banks, replacing Scotiabank's name with President's Choice Bank. Please stop this kind of disruptive behaviour, or your account will be blocked from editing. Owen× ☎ 17:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

About speedy deletion and hoaxes

I noticed that you removed the speedy deletion tag I left on Banana Pod Spider. I am quoting this from the non-criteria section of the criteria for speedy deletion (emphasis added is mine):

• Hoaxes: Articles that present unverifiable and probably false ideas, theories, or subjects. Occasionally these can be deleted as vandalism if the article is obviously ridiculous, but remotely plausible articles should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum.

I believe that Banana Pod Spider falls into the loophole that I highlighted to flush obvious hoaxes down the bit bucket. First, no spider has a backbone. Second, if the animal in question had a backbone, it would go into the phylum Chordata because that phylum is reserved for all animals with a backbone. Third, there is no way one can chemically get phosphorus from potassium because the two are different elements as in the following quoted garbage from the hoax: "The spider has a special gland found in NO other animal known to man. It has a gland called the "lonomial gland". It is used for manipulating potassium, in two major functions. In the first, it uses potassium, and changes it's chemical structure to become phosphorus." One could use radioactivity to do the job, but that is physics, not chemistry. This is why I believe that this article ie not plausible at all, and therefore falls under CSD G3. Jesse Viviano 22:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Your background in arachnology and chemistry is obviously better than mine. However, the fact that you required 160 words to convince me that this is a hoax tells us that perhaps this isn't obvious vandalism, which is what CSD:G3 is really meant to handle. In any case, the 5-day Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion process should take care of this. Owen× ☎ 23:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete

Hi, I saw you changed List of Italian/Italian American Superheroes and Villians into a redirect. Why not simply delete it? The article history doesn't have to be saved (since the other one was started by the same editor) and nothing linked to the article. Garion96 (talk) 17:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate articles are generally turned into a redirect--not deleted, unless they are an implausible typo, which is not the case here. Owen× ☎ 17:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Tnx for the reply. Duh, I did know that, just totally forgot it in this case. Probably because I couldn't (and still can't) imagine anyone searching for that article. :) Garion96 (talk)

Hey

You are telling me to stop 'vandalizing' but it's my userpage. If I contribute to a page or a discussion, and someone looks at my userpage, I would like to put myself forth as I am and userboxes is part of how I want to do that. Many people have userboxes just like mine, so what gives? 71.97.211.92 01:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hepatitis B in China

Thanks so much for watching the going-ons with this article . Yet I'd be interested to know why I am enjoined from editing this article, when my edits adhered entirely to an official Misplaced Pages guideline, while user:SchmuckyTheCat's didn't. — Instantnood 20:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The article is about the prevalence of a disease in a geographical region commonly known by the name "China". It has nothing to do with the government of that region or any other political aspects. Your edit war on that article served no useful purpose other than to make the article obfuscated and aggravate the other editors. If you wish to contest my ban, feel free to post on WP:AN/I. Owen× ☎ 20:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I am afraid I don't agree. The WHO, as of one of the organs of the UN, and with its membership restricted to sovereign states, recognises the PRC as the representative of all China. Yet the WHO has no access to situation in the ROC except technically going through the PRC. Hong Kong and Macao keep in touch with the WHO on their own, except in occassions that only sovereign states can participate. For matters in the article unrelated to the WHO, everything mentioned in the article (situation, figures, etc.) are all about the PRC excluding Hong Kong and Macao (i.e. mainland China). The article is referring to the mainland Chinese population, and responses of and measures taken by the government of the PRC. As per the NPOV guideline, the PRC government should not be mentioned as the Chinese government, nor should China be used as synonymous to mainland China or PRC. — Instantnood 21:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC) (modified 21:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC))

- Please be reminded that edits unrelated to any disagreement ( in this case) should never be disregarded. — Instantnood 21:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I am not interested in sorting between POV and NPOV edits. I am here to stop you from engaging in edit wars, as per multiple ArbCom decisions. If the edit you mention is indeed unrelated to the dispute, then by all means feel free to suggest it to SchmuckyTheCat or any other editor, and they may restore it if they see fit to do so. Owen× ☎ 21:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

It is very obvious what is and what is not related to the disagreement, and as a matter of fact I've already sorted that out . Even if it was not as obvious and was not already sorted out, it's not a matter whether you are interested to sort that out or not. As far as I know " f undo legitimate, uncontroversial edits, such as by deliberately and recklessly inserting spelling errors, committing simple vandalism. " . — Instantnood 21:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Ambulance Chaser

I moved both the definition and talk page to Wiktionary, per discussions. Please dont revert it back, in Misplaced Pages. Now, according to the instructions in Wiktionary, I need to delete the article in Misplaced Pages, but I don't know how. Can you help with this? jawesq 21:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop blanking the article and its Talk page; this is not how articles are moved to Wiktionary. You can read this to learn more. Owen× ☎ 22:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I followed the directions EXACTLY on how to do this. Please see the discussion page where I quoted from Transwiki. I am trying to figure out how to do the rest. If you can help, I would appreciate it. The tag had been on her longer than 10 days. Leave it, I dont' care. What you did was not helpful. I spent a long time trying to follow the directions and instructions, then have you come in to only criticize. jawesq 22:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Instructions on Moving to Wiktionary (trans-Wiki)

In asnwer to your question, where you clearly did not believe me:

Transfer from main to transwiki

As there is currently no way of moving pages across wikis, the transfer must be done using cut and paste. If there is anything valuable on the talk page, this may be moved in the same way, though in many cases the talk may not be relevant to the wiki you are moving the article to. The original page may be deleted as soon as it has been moved to the transwiki area. You must enter in the log that the article has moved. The log can be found by going to transwiki which will be a redirect to the log page. The deletion log will also provide a record, and any transwiki article can be undeleted if the move was considered "out-of-process" or if someone requests undeletion (via Deletion review at en for example).

Page history

In order to adhere to the requirements of the GFDL, a record must be made of the original authors. If the original article had only one author, this can be done in the edit summary when the article is pasted into the new transwiki article. If a number of authors were involved, it may be preferable to copy the list of authors from the page history onto the new transwiki article's talk page. For an example of this, see Talk:Wikistress. A record of the original address of the article should also be made (again, in the edit summary or on the talk page) so that, if the history is required at any point, the page may be found and undeleted.

I am now trying to figure out how to record the Page History, before deleting the article, and am seeking help with this. Please be patient!jawesq 22:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

This was on the talk page. I quoted directly from Trans-Wiki. It said CUT AND PASTE, since there is no other way to do this. If that is not blanking, then please tell me how better to "cut and paste"?jawesq 22:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Please help

The Wiki Version is already entered in Wiktionary. I followed the format of Wiktionary. (There was a redirect to Wiktionary). I did not know there was a difference between deleting and cut and paste, since it seemed to be the same, given the instructions above. I did not know how to delete the article, though. I have spent two hours on this, and am getting very frustrated. How DO I do the contributor log? Right now, I have the article and the relevant talk page (see above, for not bringing over the whole talk page). I don't know how to do the contributor log. That was what I was trying to figure out. f you can help, I would much appreciate it.jawesq 22:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I will look at and paste the authors on the Wiktionary Talk page. What was frustrating is that I tried to follow the instructions step by step. And, I did, until I realized I could not delete the article.jawesq 23:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I checked, and the current version has 2 authors: me and KihOshk . If you would make the transfer, I would appreciate it.jawesq 23:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I would be glad to reword the instruction page, but I am still not sure now what a non-admin should do! What I would do now is (1) Create the entry in the location agreed on; (2)Locate an admin; (3) Ask him/her for help I doubt that is what we want, is it? jawesq 23:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for your help with this. The directions were very confusing, and I am glad you realize now that i was not vandalizing. I will look at the directions, and see if there is anything else that can help make it clearer. It would be very helpful if Misplaced Pages could change the software to allow for trans-Wiki moves!

If I was short, I apologize. It was frustrating, especially when two people (you and another) implied I was vandalizing. I copied the instructions from trans-Wiki on the other user's talkpage, and he finally said he didn't know what to do either. He created the link to Wiktionary, and that is where we left it until you came on. I was about ready to just hang it up and say to 'heck with it'. The instructions suggestion to look at "Wikistress" were prescient. jawesq 23:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome! No need to apologize; you followed those poorly-worded instructions to the letter. Don't get discouraged by all this--that's how we improve Misplaced Pages. We need more people like you around! Owen× ☎ 23:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!  ;-) Now would you do me one more favor, please? Where is the link for trans-Wiki instructions again? It probably is in front of me somewhere, but I am tired and developed a headache from all this (and from trimming two very uncooperative dogs today) ! loljawesq 23:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I found it. It was in front of me. I added a couple of comments that hopefully will clarify. Please take a look to see what you think.jawesq 23:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

About You

We have something in common. Before I went to law school, I was an engineering manager in telecom. So yes, I agree with your statement about that.jawesq 01:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Another question (!)

In editing the wikilinks for "ambulance chaser" I found an article Jim Shapiro that really needs deletion. I made an RfD, and one user said it is a candidate for 'speedy deletion'. Would you mind checking this to see if it is? jawesq 03:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
