Misplaced Pages does not care about you or me being qualified scholars. Misplaced Pages is not a scholarly site, but a summary of sources that speak for themselves. We all have the right to edit, but there are rules to make sure that proper sources are used for appropriate articles and editors are civil. -- In other words: duh only book-lurnin we likes 's frum books, not school-folk wit deir fancy-shmancy deeplomas. Ye ain't gots to be unschooled to edit, but ya bettah bring yer damn sauces like uh chef at tha Italian resteeraunt.

If I'm not responding, that's probably because

I'm asleep or otherwise having a life outside of Misplaced Pages.

Quran proves Jesus was not crucified

Hey there, thank you for your help in moving this along. As we both agree that the Quran is the word of God I understand you want to help get rid of some of the racist bias on wikipedia. Thanks for your help!! Teetotaler 19 May, 2015 — Preceding undated comment added 11:03, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

1) We are in disagreement over the Quran. I'm a Christian.
2) Your comments here and here were racist. Discussing the historical assessment of everyone on the planet who is not a Muslim is not racist, it's providing due weight. So, yes, I do want to get rid of racist bias on Misplaced Pages, which is why I'm not helping you.

The Holy Quran IS the word of God. Maybe you have no Quran? It is a beautiful book, especially when it teaches that an ordinary fellow named Jesus was NOT crucified. Thank God!!!! And thank God Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world!!! -Teetotaler 19 May, 2015 — Preceding undated comment added 16:46, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Please do not proselytize on Misplaced Pages. It is considered inappropriate, in addition to being a very poor replacement for argument.--Mr Fink (talk) 20:01, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Oh don't worry, he's already blocked. And for the record, I have a paperback copy of the Quran and a few digital copies, and read about a third to half of it in high school. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:06, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Chitral

hi, Thanks for your contribution chitral district. Please not revert with page. The previous page of chitral full consist of vandalism about many topic which are not true. I make these correct... And you undo? Why??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqraat (talkcontribs) 04:33, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

You replaced sourced information with unsourced information, and clearly got the wrong official website. Plus, you're a sockpuppet of a blocked editor. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:39, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

chitral district

please!!! You can not change solid history by editing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqraat (talkcontribs) 04:46, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

That's not what I'm doing. I'm reverting your vandalism. Chitral's website is Chitral.gov.pk. That is plainly obvious, and any attempts to change it to something else are obviously vandalism. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:49, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

sockpuppet

who is sockpuppet can you explain? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqraat (talkcontribs) 04:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

I explained on the sockpuppet investigation page that I already gave you a link for. You are behaving exactly like another editor that we blocked for vandalizing articles -- so there's no reason for us to believe that you are not that person using a different name. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:51, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

hi, This is my one and only account I have no another account Who are you?where are you from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqraat (talkcontribs) 04:54, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

You mean that that account is the only one you have right now. This edit you made is an indication that you are just a new account for the same user we blocked before. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:57, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Chitral District

It does not matter where users live, what matters are sources. Your edits removed a source as well as sourced information. Your other edits were also just like those of a vandal we previously blocked. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:14, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Should headings maintain neutrality?. Sundayclose (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Saw, I keep that page on my watchlist. I think we saved our responses around the same time. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:45, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Out of town

I am currently out of town for my uncle's surgery, and will not always have a reliable net connection. Ian.thomson (talk) 10:25, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Back in town

...For at any rate. There's a family reunion next week but that family's wifi is a bit more reliable than the hotel's and hospital's were. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Quick message

I'm sure it's me, and I apologise, but which diffs do you require? Cassianto 23:46, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

It's not simply for me, it's to make sure that any claim of behavior can be readily proven so a previously uninvolved observer can come to an impartial judgement. Every claim of any action or behavior needs a diff to back it up if things are going to go anywhere, either to firmly settle that the repeated reports about your civility have merit or are just common hounding.
You said "Again, I was called a "cunt" directly, but I opined that Bugs's behaviour was twatish." Ian.thomson (talk) 23:52, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. The incident whereby I was called a "cunt" is inadmissible because that was dealt with by way of a block. I opined that another user's behaviour was twatish as he was trying to instigate me into an argument which had long died. That diff is available at the report. Cassianto 23:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Furthermore, the current report is a result of a logged out user - possibly Caden - who has posted on my talk with the sole intention to create this whole drama. I told the IP to fuck off, as I am entitled to do, so this report has no legs from the start. Cassianto 23:57, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:00, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Your link to a copyvio video confuses me further. I think it best we stop talking as you are clearly only here to provoke. Cassianto 00:03, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
See Fair use. Nice try, though. I'm actually looking to settle this with a proper record of behavior. If you haven't been misbehaving, then there's nothing for you to lose. If Bugs or anyone else has been provoking you, then you've got plenty to gain. Just letting the threads close with no resolution only opens the door to continued accusations. As for your accusation that I'm here to provoke, how does that reconcile with your attitude that "If someone, in my opinion, is being like a twat, I will tell them. There is no harm in that." Multiple users have explained to you (in just the latest thread alone) that that's provocative and generally regarding as insulting. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Your view of it being "provocative and generally ... insulting" is a subjective one. Others would find it to be a reality check. I can't prove anything, I have mere suspicions which is certainly not enough to waste people's time at ANI. I'm one of those users who like to create and expand articles at Misplaced Pages, not waste my time on this bollocks. Cassianto 00:17, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Here is a reality check for you: If you want to continue being a part of this community, you have to at least be aware of other editor's subjective views. You have to be aware that saying someone is behaving like a twat is itself behaving like a twat. You have to be aware that the only way to be sure that people don't keep bothering you about this sort of stuff is to not address them in ways they might find insulting. While drafting any message, contemplate on any little bit that someone could use to argue against you. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:21, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Of course I'm aware of that. My point to you is that not everybody thinks alike. One person's "don't behave like a twat" is another person's "don't behave badly". Bugs knew what I meant, and that's why he didn't file a report. He left it, as I expected he would have done. This whole thread has come about because I told a troll to fuck off. If it weren't for people like me, this whole encyclopaedia wouldn't exist, so it wouldn't be possible for prissy people to feel insulted during interactions. Cassianto 00:28, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
That's what I'm getting at: you need to understand that saying "don't behave like a twat" will be read as an insult, and people will read instructions to "fuck off" as a violation of WP:CIVIL. It doesn't matter what you intend, that's what's going to happen. If you understand that, it's your fault when people get insulted. And elitism doesn't help anyone. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:37, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Well it certainly helps this site. It's becoming more frequent where I question myself as to why I bother! People need to stop being so prissy and precious and wake up to the world without their rose-tinted spectacles on. Cassianto 00:52, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Articles will be written with or without you. Articles will be improved with or without you. The site will receive funding with or without you. Yes, you've helped, but that doesn't make you irreplaceable, and that doesn't excuse being insensitive. You need to take off your Cassianto-mirroring spectacles and realize that you are not the site. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:56, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello Ian, I'll be very thankful for your help in improving my article about Alexander Klevan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuliagrig (talkcontribs) 06:44, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
