No problem. Don't want to remove peoples' right to criticize, just have some friends on the team and want to make sure everything is represented fairly and accurately.

Brent Corrigan Article

Hey Schmucky. What should be done about Melbedewy? He refuses to cooperate with the consensus and he also refuses to source his material. He doesn't qualify for 3RR since he, meticulously, reverts only once a day. Any idea what he qualifies for? It gets tiring having to revert his trolling all the time.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 3

A final decision has been made in the above Arbitration case and the case has been closed.

For the Arbitration committee. --Tony Sidaway 18:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Undeletion request

Tony, is there a deleted article history at 5th Avenue Theatre? There is a talk page, which indicates there might have been material that looked like copyvio but was being added by the copyright holder. If there is a deleted article there, can you copy it to my userspace? I'd like to work on this article and that material might be useful. SchmuckyTheCat 16:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't copy it because it was a copyright infringement. I can, however, point you at the source of the material, which is: http://www.5thavenuetheatre.org/historyandphotos.shtml

It appears to be a word-for-word copy.

If you could write a clean article about this theater from that and other source material, you would be doing Misplaced Pages a great service. --Tony Sidaway 22:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I've taken a whack at it. Hopefully this elleviates any laudible cause for complaint. My writing thesis for such things is atrocious, however, so I'm certain it could use some copyediting.-Zero 19:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: What are you doing?

Please kindly take a look at what I reverted, and see what the problem was with those articles. Read also who're the people, apart from me, reverting those articles. Meanwhile, please be reminded to mind your language. Thank you very much. — TopRamen 09:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the positive response. Please do read what I've done. If he's not responding, what else I can do? I'd appreciate if you or anybody can give a hand, but not keep intepreting, in a superficial manner, some not entirely properly come up enforcements. — TopRamen 10:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Page blocks

As Instantnood is warring over legitimate content disputes I don't think these would be helpful just yet (IMHO). If he doesn't get the hint after a few blocks then permanent page blocks would be a good idea. Ashibaka tock 02:00, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Cap Hill Massacre

No problem. It's not often I get a chance to work with current events in Seattle, and that's just the kind of story where rumors and speculation can run wild. Good writing otherwise. -- stubblyhead | /_c 03:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Image speedy deletion

Regarding the article Image:Seattleshooting.jpg, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "copyvio, images found on CNN are not Public Domain. This picture at CNN is specifically labeled copyright Seattle Times/AP", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This image does not qualify for speedy deletion because only articles qualify for speedy deletion due to copyright violations, images do not. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:CP process. Thanks! Stifle 16:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why you believe images aren't speedy deletable. WP:CSD specifically has a section for Images and Media. It is critically important that copyrighted material be removed from Misplaced Pages, particularly on breaking news stories where photos and graphics of the event made by news companies are considered vital property. This pic has also been deleted at least twice already, so it's deletion of already deleted material. SchmuckyTheCat 17:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Images are speedy deletable if they meet any of the eight General criteria or any of the five Image criteria. However, Article criteria don't apply to images, any more than image criteria apply to categories, or redirect criteria apply to user pages. Stifle 17:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

question

I would like to upload images of various bands, but can't tell if I can use the pics I found or not. Can you help?

RE: User subpage articles in wikipedia article categories

Keep your subpage articles out of wikipedia article categories. The whole point of keeping non-encyclopedic content in your user space is to prevent it from being linked to from the main Misplaced Pages. When you put your user subpage in a category, it appears in navigation templates and such.

Your being mentored is not a method to avoid playing by the rules until your mentor tells you to do abide by them. Instead, you should be paying attention to other editors and asking your mentor to clarify what you don't understand. SchmuckyTheCat 07:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

What rules say we cannot have user-space articles in article-space categories? I need to read that rule, if such a rule exists.

By the way, I'm curious: How come you didn't notice this article until now? I first put it up under an older username's subpage months ago. --Shultz IV 07:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Block

Re: - Sysops can look into the edit history of deleted articles. You can't, but user:ESkog can. First, user:Alanmak did it by a cut-and-paste move. Second, "HK" can be ambiguous, and the template has existed for a really long time at template:HONG KONG. It should not be changed without discussion, for it affects many articles (but user:Alanmak had even modified article using the template). Third, it was done as part of his failed attempt to change how the templates {{HKG}} and {{HKG-PRC}} are used, which has been reverted for many times by many other users. He never responded to messages at talk pages, and he had discarded my requests posted on his user talk page, deleting them by saying "bullshit" in edit summaries. If sysops are helping Misplaced Pages to be a better project, they should not disregarded the background of dispute, and react simply from what they superficially see. — TopRamen 21:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

ITMFA

I've reverted your re-addition of ITMFA information and website link to Movement to impeach George W. Bush because it is about a commercial website. I'll ask you, as I did Rickpike, to please discuss this on the article talk page before simply re-adding the information and link. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Template redirects

Re - I'm interested to know if there's any official guideline or policy regarding the use of template redirects? If there's none, I'd like to know why it's necessary to avoid them. Thank you. — TopRamen 11:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

List of bridges

Re: " rv POV re-organization by editor who claims everyone but him has been wrong for three years. this editor is under arbcom sanction for POV re-organizations of lists. " - What I actually said was that if user:Alanmak's way of presenting the information is right, the list has been in a wrong way since April 2003. I did not claim everyone except I myself had been wrong. Please be reminded not to put your words in anybody's mouth. Thank you. — TopRamen 15:55, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for passing along the latest "hen fap" occurrence. I have no idea how to stop this guy from IP hopping and acting like a big baby. (The guy's original account was permabanned awhile ago) I get this image of some obese guy sitting in front of his PC babbling "hen fap" over and over ... I guess you don't have to be sane to edit Misplaced Pages. Anyway, I've asked a few people to see if it's possible to create some sort of anti-hen fap "bot" that can catch future appearances of this type of vandalism. Thanks again. 23skidoo 23:31, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can't do anything with that one as a legitimate user appears to be using the IP now (that's the problem with blocking anon IPs for too long) -- either that or the hen fap vandal decided to actually make some worthwhile contributions. I'd still double check the information, though. 23skidoo 01:43, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Archiving talk pages

I undid your page move at talk:Republic of China. according to Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page, we should use cut and paste, or at least a consistent method (c/p has been used for archives 1-3). --Jiang 03:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Instantnood

Could you supply some page diffs at WP:AN/I regarding your complaints about Instantnood? I'm sorry if I came off as scolding before; that wasn't my intention. Truly, JDoorjam Talk 22:22, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Overdone reverts

Please be reminded not to revert materials unrelated to what you disagree. — TopRamen 18:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh noes.

I noticed you are getting seriously pissed at Instantnood; if that's the way you approach your disputes at this point, it might be time for a Wikibreak. Of course, I won't be taking any action since you at least try to communicate with him. Ashibaka tock 01:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Attacking others in edit summaries.

This is in regards to your recent edit to the Encyclopædia Dramatica article.

Please do not attack others in edit summaries. "Don't be stupid" can be seen as a personal attack. Please try to keep cool and comment on content, not the contributor. Thanks.

Oh please, get a grip. SchmuckyTheCat 03:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree the edit was stupid (I am not the person who said that--I suspect it's an admin who forgot to log in with their gay memorized links to WP:NPA and who remembers that {{crap}}?). Seriously though, you should not keep chuck norris down. I mean... The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed miserably. FurryiamIAM 05:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Request for clarification

You said " rv, Instantnood returns from a ban and immediately sets to reverting the article that got him banned. " Could you please provide the evidence that I got banned with that article? If that's not the case, could you please kindly clarify what you've said and apologise for that. Thank you very much. — Instantnood 21:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

. close enough for government work. SchmuckyTheCat 21:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

What government work? Was I actually banned for edit to that article? Thanks for the WP:AN/3RR link, by the way, but I'd expect being notified simultaneously when it's reported there. — Instantnood 22:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Chinese naming conventions

I just made a new proposal on NPOV treatment of the different Chinese languages/dialects on the Chinese naming conventions. Please take a look and comment if you will. Thanks.--Yuje 19:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Flag

Instantnood keep stating there is something wrong with the "new" flag, something wrong about its stars and color. However I really can't find such thing. Also, I can't see any differences in a side by side comparison of the two flag. Hunter 18:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, me neither. I thought there was some reasoning there, but as usual, there isn't. SchmuckyTheCat 19:02, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I will propose deletion now. Brendenhull 21:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Hong Kong (PRC)

You are banned for one week from Template:Hong Kong (PRC) for edit warring. Instantnood is banned for two weeks for more excessive reverting. --Jiang 06:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Flag

It's pretty obvious they're different. Before it's clear which is the correct one (and in fact both can be wrong) please preserve the status quo before your and user:Winhunter's edits. I myself know nothing about image editing so I'm afraid I'm not able to help. What I can tell is that the two existing images are different. — Instantnood 07:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

So, you can't actually identify what's wrong with it, or which is correct. Wonderful thing to revert war over then! I do know something about image editing, and was willing to load the two up and fix the SVG version but you can't tell me what needs to be fixed. SchmuckyTheCat 14:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

When it's uncertain which is correct, shall the replacement drive be continued? Obviously not. It had been peaceful before user:Winhunter came around, and she/he is not listening at all. What I can only do is to halt the drive. That's hardly warring. — Instantnood 20:36, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

If you can't identify what is wrong with the SVG image, and the Misplaced Pages guidelines specify that SVG is preferred THEN YES, it is ridiculous and warring to "halt the drive". It's like you don't even know why you're doing it. It's preposterous. SchmuckyTheCat 01:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Only when the .svg image is an equivalence should the .png one be replaced. — Instantnood 19:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd agree with you, if you could state with certainty that the png image accurately reflects the specifications for the flag. SchmuckyTheCat 21:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Certainly either one of them, or both, is incorrect. The status quo prior to his edits should be kept, unless there's evidence to show either is the correct one. — Instantnood 22:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

There is no wikipedia policy respecting the status quo. SchmuckyTheCat 22:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

By common sense the status quo should be preserved until things get certain. Using the right flag (i.e. accuracy) is the top priority for an encyclopædia. Replacement of .png by .svg (i.e. stylistic and format issues) is far less important. — Instantnood 22:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Status quo, as a policy, has been explicitly rejected. Consensus and verifiability, not accuracy, is Misplaced Pages's fundamental guideline. Since you haven't actually made a claim of innacuracy, even your own argument fails your own test. I have asked you to identify what is incorrect (verifiably) and you haven't. If you would do that, I'd probably agree with you, helping to form a consensus to your POV. SchmuckyTheCat 22:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

We're not discussing which is the correct one. Rather, we're discussing what we should do and what we should not do when it's not yet certain. By common sense inaccuracy already exists. If you couldn't verify the .svg one is accurate, you cannot replace .png with it. — Instantnood 23:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Hong Kong (PRC)

Please kindly response at its talk page. — Instantnood 22:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. — Instantnood 23:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Your edit

You're not reverting only the flag image. You've got the option to revert only the flag image . — Instantnood 18:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

User:Winhunter/xsomeuser

You have the obligation to preserve useful edits, and revert only what you disagree. — Instantnood 19:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Your edits stopped making sense. When you mix in a few worthy edits with a whole bunch of crap into a complicated page, I'm not going to bother to salvage the good bits from the bad. When I can, I do. I'm not the first person to tell you this same exact thing. If you want people to stop reverting your good edits, then stop revert warring over crap, the same crap that got you banned from other articles. SchmuckyTheCat 19:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

The other persons are user:Alanmak and user:Winhunter, who're doing more or less the same thing as you do to my edits, and respond in similar ways to my messages on your user talk page. You do have the option to revert only what you disagree , but apparently you choose not to do so. — Instantnood 20:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Fuck off.

hi

Hi, I want the recent changes/enhanced changes war in the ED article. Also why do you say 7-11 is still important? I thought that was too old of a meme to be important to the site. 22:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

What war? huh? Slurpees are a foundational issue at ED. They are as important as NPOV is to Misplaced Pages. SchmuckyTheCat 22:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Well mostly the war can be seen by following the edit links on my edit. Quasidian and Aussieintn are major players. And of course "don't spam recent changes" thing is on everyone's talk page who doesn't use it--replacing the "preview is for pussies" policy of before. DyslexicEditor 22:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

That must be some kind of insider joke that only makes sense if you are involved with the site. Because I don't get it after following your links. I mean, I see what the pics say, but I don't understand the point. And, it's not a "theme" of ED even if it is some major policy war. SchmuckyTheCat 22:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

You should look at the talk pages of most people there, "Don't spam recent changes" it always says. I thought you were an admin there. DyslexicEditor 22:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

User instructions aren't themes. SchmuckyTheCat 22:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Flag of Hong Kong SAR.png

It seems the the retiring effort of the said image is finally coming to the end, and it is in use only in your user page. If you remove it from your user page and thus orphaning it, I think it's possible to propose a deletion in commons. Hunter 15:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Oops, reverted Horse back to the wrong version. Thanks for catching that. Horse needs about ten reverts a day, and a request for partial page protection was refused. --John Nagle 03:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please be informed that the simple vandalism has been reverted. — Instantnood 18:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Your picture is being voted for deletion

The picture you uploaded, Image:Tai O San Ki Bridge.jpg, is currently being considered for deletion, in both English and Chinese Misplaced Pages, because you have chosen not to release it under a free license (e.g. GFDL).

It was noted that according to your description for the picture, you have taken the photo for Misplaced Pages (by me, for Misplaced Pages), but the current license does not satisfy Misplaced Pages's picture licensing policy. Perhaps you have chosen an unsuitable license by mistake? Your picture is a highly valued one and it would be a loss to Misplaced Pages if it has to be deleted because of a mistake in choosing the right license.

If you would like your picture to be kept, please make haste to the picture page and update the licensing information from {{PermissionAndFairUse}} to a free license (e.g. {{GFDL}}, {{cc-by-2.0}}). Otherwise your picture might be deleted in no time.

Thank you for your contribution to Misplaced Pages! --Computor 11:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Re:Protected Template:Hong Kong (PRC)

Instantnood's ban expired last month. I don't really see a definitive guideline or policy on this. If there is, then please quote. I also don't see where we endorse the Chicago Manual of Style, though the Chicago Manual of Style can be quoted to arrive at a definitive guideline.--Jiang 04:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Please keep the discussion on a single, relevant talk page. It's not useful to convince me alone because once I unprotect the template, the edit war will resume. According to Wp:mos#When_all_else_fails, there are several options (including discussion itself): let's discuss and decide on an option. --Jiang 07:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Reverts

I'd say it is you who has kept implementing and enforcing your own point of view without prior and fruitful discussion. Why can't you stand with the status quo ante while discussion is in process? — Instantnood 19:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

There is no end to discussions with you. You filibuster. SchmuckyTheCat 19:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You make your changes before or right after you start the discussion at the talk page, or you don't discuss at all. You show no intention at all to discuss.— Instantnood 20:10, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Images not identical

Re - Please kindly take note of the fact that the .gif and the .svg images are not identical. Sizes of the lotus are different on the two images .

Could you please help convert the .gif image from government website into .svg format, to upload and replace the inaccurate one? Thanks. — Instantnood 17:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Re - Is this edit telling everyone you're ignoring what have already been pointed out? — Instantnood 19:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The discrepancies were actually pointed out in the previous discussions. Simply convert those flag images from official sources into .svg format, or correct the existing .svg images according to the ones from official sources, will do already. — Instantnood 20:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a proforma warning to comply with the new 3rr page. I assume you know the rule, but as a reminder:

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Hipocrite - «Talk» 00:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The revisions were done to undo damage done to the article by you in violation of AfD policy. You were in error on making those edits. rootology 00:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I would warn both of you that good faith edits are never vandalism. Hipocrite - «Talk» 00:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

This is all a bit of a mess, but you should know better than to edit war like this.

Thanks

Just trying to do what seems right... good luck. Oh, and you may find this of interest...

Comments

Brought over from my talk page....Can you provide some more rationale for these two blocks: "uploaded png image that is blatant personal attack, sleeper account" and "sleeper troll account". I am not an admin, I do not see contributions to deleted articles or images. Looking at the user histories, I cannot see either account uploading images or any rationale to being sleeper accounts. Both appear to be very casual but honest editors. In fact, I once questioned Keystone23 and the response was "don't bite at newcomers". SchmuckyTheCat 18:08, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The reason you don't see the edits in which they uploaded the PNG is becuase once it is deleted, the edit disappears also...get it? , , ...the last one was the old PNG which was re-edited with the new png image...In fact, I can find zero evidence that you "once questioned" Keystone23...anywhere......look at the editing history...no edits for 7 months, after all of them being on Jan 4th 2006, and, lo and behold, a vote for the last time the ED article was up for deletetion March 28, and then the PNG image harassment, and another vote of the existing Afd for the encyclopediadramatica....don't come to my page and spread lies...JeremyJX makes not one edit in 7 months and then "magically" reappears to post personal information about me...wake up.--MONGO 21:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

If you are unable to view the admin actions since you may not be able to without admin tools, ask any admin to verify it.--MONGO 21:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

if you have a minute

I'm hitting a couple people with this note, looking for input. Could I persuade you to take a cruising pass at, or at least leave me a note of your thoughts on, my project? Timeline of Internet conflicts.

For what its worth, my notes on what I envision the growth of that page as/scope is on the talk page. Basically a factual chronology of the online conflicts that shape the internet and its growth, ala how someone may do a break down of real world physical wars (which I actually would like to do after as a project if it hasn't been). Anywho, let me know what you think if you get a chance. rootology 23:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Direct me?

Hi, could you direct me to the page where the comment that prompted this can be found? I'd appreciate it, thanks. Karwynn (talk)

Harassment

You're bordering on harassment at my usertalk...I said "and" spineless moronic trolls...read the comment. Interesting that you try to put words in my mouth. I don't wish to recieve one more comment from you on my talk page. Thank you.--MONGO 06:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

In a list of three with "spineless moronic trolls" and an arbcom banned member, it's obvious where the inclusion was meant.

You also did not address the more serious attack that I have never contributed anything worthwhile to Misplaced Pages. I used your talk page in a good faith attempt to let you know that maybe your words were too strong. That maybe you should re-think the light in which you have cast your opponents. Instead you've called it harassment. You are a shame to the admin community. I guess I will have to take your personal attacks a little higher. SchmuckyTheCat 14:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

You may wish to contact Karwynn additionally. rootology 15:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Link Deletion

I dont understand your deletion of the link in the barebacking article. It seemed entirely appropriate as an example, of the same name, of the content of the article and as such, it would seem to be of interest to someone who is reading that article. Yes, it is a commercial site but so what? Other commercial sites are referenced, where appropriate. I know that i'm really new at this, but i'd like to understand why you felt it was innapropriate. Does wikipekia have an adult censorship policy?? Pup2006 12:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted, check WP:AN/I for info. Do you still happen to have the evidence portion of it around? --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users.

Re: Reverts that are like blackened eggs

That's something you should be told. Nobody would want to do so if all parties are willing to have the problem sort out through real discussion. — Instantnood 21:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

And as thou Instantnood dosent need to be told at all. Something tells me he gets a high out of the daily reverting exercise...sort of like the to-and-fro action which gets most normal folks high too. And "real discussion"? Gawd...tell me about it. Since when is Instantnood capable for having one? ;)--Huaiwei 17:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Kudos

This made me laugh, a rare instance lately. Thanks! Karwynn (talk) 16:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Am I not using edit summaries, and recreating anything for no reason? — Instantnood 20:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

mv misplaced comment from your userpage...

Please help I know this is NOT the right place to reply but I can't find the right place after two days of trying to find a direct link to contact you.

your question Can you please explain their relevance on the article talk page and provide a reliable source that Kyle Huff ever heard or purchased the song you are referring to? SchmuckyTheCat 13:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

my answer I am not sure where Huff heard of Owen Tate NOW KIDS NOW but I do know he was on the owen tate myspace page where the song was on the player. I could see about getting a paypal record for the purchase of the cd but I am not sure how to go about that without turning over private banking info. Again, I am sorry to post this here so please forgive me and direct me to how to reach you in the future. thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.64.84.231 (talk • contribs) .

No personal attacks, please

Calling another user a 'weasel' is unacceptable. Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 20:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

OH BULLSHIT. If MONGO can call me a spineless moronic troll then he can stand up to being called a weasel too. He's a big boy, let's all grow up. SchmuckyTheCat 20:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Let's focus on content and not on contributors. Thanks! -- User:RyanFreisling @ 20:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Instantnood

Hi Schmucky. I have read the extensive past histories of Instantnood with increasing concern, as well as his past ArbCom bans, etc. etc. Rarely have users who have been blocked so often been so persistent in editing others' opinions. Nevertheless, even if it seems a little exasperating, I don't see why we can't give the public poll thing a try? Jsw663 21:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

It has been tried, and polls aren't always helpful. — Instantnood 21:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

People's Republic of China as an emerging superpower

There were other changes in my edits unrelated to what you disagree with, but you've reverted them all . Please sort out those changes you don't disagree with, and restore them. Thanks in advance. — Instantnood 21:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

You've similiarly reverted useful changes to the list of indoor arenas . Please be reminded that such reverts are simple vandalism. " If you undo legitimate, uncontroversial edits, such as by deliberately and recklessly inserting spelling errors, you are committing simple vandalism. " — Instantnood 21:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

What did you actually want to revert ? — Instantnood 06:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Edit warring, be it on the same day or over a long span, is disruptive to this encyclopedia. If you continue in this manner you will be blocked. Joelito (talk) 23:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

You are engaging in content and POV disputes. It has little to do with WP:Verifiability. If you believe that verifiability is an issue why not engage in talk page discussion or simply tag with {{fact}}. However I believe that verifiability is not your agenda. You are well aware that edit warring is disruptive and wiki-lawyering will not work with me. Again, please stop the edit wars. Joelito (talk) 23:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/DeFRaG

Hi. You have recently voted for deletion of DeFRaG article. I have cleaned up it and added some references. I also added some proofs of game's notability here. Please, check out this article and discussion about its deletion once again and reconsider your vote. Thanks ;) Visor 14:30, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Windows-3.2-desktop.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows-3.2-desktop.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Misplaced Pages and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. jd || talk || 18:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Do not remove orfud tags

Please do not remove the {{orfud}} tag from Image:Windows-3.2-desktop.png. This image's presence on Misplaced Pages currently violates Misplaced Pages's fair use policy, which says that fair use images must be used in at least one article. If you do not want this image to be deleted, please appropriately insert it into an article, as long as the insertion does not violate the current fair use policy. Thanks. jd || talk || 18:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
