ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
Hello, Calton. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. Mdann52 (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

WP:GNG, yes I've heard of it, just as I've heard of sarcasm. If you did a simple Google search of this you would find there is enough independent coverage to qualify this article. Tag it for needing more citations, but saying it may not meet notability guidelines is clearly wrong. Garchy (talk) 05:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for your cleanup at .
After some research efforts and work expanding the page, I'm taking a step back from editing it for a while.
Not sure what to make of these edit summaries and edits: and .
Do those choice of words in those edit summaries seem appropriate to you? Might they display an underlying motivation?
Sagecandor (talk) 21:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Calton, thanks for pointing that out, now I see the topic ban by NuclearWarfare. In light of the violations of WP:SYNTH and No Original Research and then edit-warring to add back again the same violations, , might it be time for another WP:AE ? Sagecandor (talk) 15:57, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Your 3RR report
I'm sorry you feel the way you do about this situation. However, please note that the reverts of mine you reported as violating 3RR did not, in fact, do so, as they were not made within a 24-hour period of each other, as that rule requires. I am very much aware of it and checked as to when I had reverted before doing so ... if I had thought I was even close to a third revert within 24 hours, I would not have reverted.
Please take more care to be aware of the rules you report people for violating next time you make such a report. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 04:02, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- No, I did not take 3RR as an entitlement to revert 3 times within 24 hours and then stop, primarily because I did not revert three times within a 24-hour period. I made two reverts on 14 December, and two more on 18 December, yet you reported all four as if they had occurred in the same 24-hour period.
I know you may have reasons for questioning the sincerity of my apology, but please try not to voice them. I do recall that at one time you were a very helpful editor (albeit a little overzealous) in reporting suspect usernames, and as one of the admins who regularly worked that page at the time I did appreciate it, even if some other people had a few problems with your work. Daniel Case (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- Per WP:DDE, reports to WP:3RR can and should only be made when someone has reverted more than three times in a 24-hour period. It says that pretty clearly (There is also a warning somewhere, although I can't find it right now, that editors should not be reported for two reverts on the grounds that they are trying not break the rule that otherwise they really want to). Don't confuse restatement of the rule, and editing within its terms, with attempting to game the system.
Your claim that bluntly restating what I did amounted to an invocation of 3RR as a right to revert is irrefutable evidence of failure to assume good faith. Daniel Case (talk) 02:33, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- BTW, I said that you were a helpful editor because I'm not actively involved in UAA anymore, and so I can't speak to whatever you've been doing lately since I haven't been keeping track. Perhaps I should have phrased it differently. Daniel Case (talk) 02:36, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Japan
Hi, I noticed your post on Dicklyon's talkpage. Bit tough.
But more important, you live in Japan; I wonder whether you read/speak Japanese, and do you have any knowledge of jp.WP? I ask because the Signpost would really like to have a contact between it and a notoriously impenetrable WP version and community. We have never covered anything about that site, and it's one of our largest. Tony (talk) 10:28, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
You haven't answered my question: You evaded it.
I asked when it is proper to delete another person's comment on Talk page on WP. My question was general, those who addressed it ignored the question, and it seems tried to attack the person who they think asked the question. 67.5.233.63 (talk) 08:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
User talk:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd
Hi. I hope you don't mind, but I have removed the comment you added at User talk:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd. They are not allowed to reply, or to discuss the matter at all, so your engaging in it on their talk page is not helpful and might even serve to inflame. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:38, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
Seems worth mentioning
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the English Misplaced Pages Manual of Style and article titles policy, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.This notice of the applicability of WP:AC/DS to discussions of article titles and the manual of style, "broadly construed", seems necessary. I don't care for its wording/tone (which sounds menacing instead of advisory), but WP:ARBCOM does not permit it to be modified. This is response to your "MOS is ... not a religious doctrine and ... people like you and Dicklyon aren't its High Priests and Defenders of the Faith" comment at ANI, which is precisely the kind of personalization of a title/style dispute and histrionic and WP:BATTLEGROUNDy casting of WP:ASPERSIONS that were why discretionary sanctions were authorized to be applied to title/style discussions (in the WP:ARBATC case linked in the notice). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅ᴥⱷ≼ 07:50, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Notice
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:James O'Keefe. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.Saturnalia0 (talk) 15:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm not author of article on Creo Concepts on Main Misplaced Pages
Hello,
You slapped a suggested for deletion on an article I didn't move onto Main Misplaced Pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Nkansahrexford#Proposed_deletion_of_Creo_Concepts
I'll urge you take a closer look at who to slap a suggestion for deletion on their profile before proceeding. Check the logs, and you'll know the right thing to do: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Creo_Concepts&action=history
Because I started the article somewhere on Misplaced Pages doesn't mean I'm the author of the article on main wikipedia.
Geesh
Unigned comment by Nkansahrexford (talk · contribs) at 18:07, January 26, 2017
- (talk page stalker) Yes, it does. I'm not aware of any distinction between "Misplaced Pages" and "main wikipedia". The article history to which you link shows that you created the article — read it. Look at the earliest history entry, from 26 October 2016. Informing the creator of the article that it has been PRODDED, as Calton did, is simply a courtesy, to make you aware of it. Bishonen | talk 18:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC).
- And an automatic notification, at that. If that's not correct, then there's something wrong with the system or history. I'll go check, but if the article is in mainspace because someone moved it there from userspace/draftspace, then the history is also moved, so that's what the bot(?) looks for.
- And what, pray tell, was "the right thing to do"? NOT notify you? --Calton | Talk 07:43, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Mandatory noticeboard discussion notification
When you mention an editor at COIN, you must notify them. See the red box at the top of the page WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. - Brianhe (talk) 20:40, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Request for review
New to Posting, please forgive errors. the page for louišP Ltd. received a request to delete from Calton. I feel your first review was correct due to the notable aspects of the referenced stories not being included. However, even though I did not create the article, I edited it just now to include the aspects of the articles which are notable in that 1. These people from over 20 countries teaming up to create and launch a website is a business development which has never been done 2. the interface coding allows a user to get to and from any city of the world faster and in fewer steps than any other website and without the need to type, this benefits everyone especially the handicap who need reduced steps on their interaction steps on line, 3. the interface coding allows the user to explore every single genre of entertainment within every city of the world without the need of typing and this is unlike any website 4. therefore this business development design as well as the interface coding are both unique and notable. Eliminating steps to a user's discovery of information is a notable creation of a design

AFD on Frederick Achom
Hello dear, I stumbled upon this AFD Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Frederick Achom (2nd nomination). I don't really understand the process going on there. could you review it? Should the article be deleted or kept? Could you let other editors review it as well? It seems there are several issues with the article. I really don't know which side to take being new on this platform. Thanks Donchimee (talk) 16:40, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Collegesequoisseal.png
Thanks for uploading File:Collegesequoisseal.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

"Your wikilawyering has been noted" written on my user talk page
I do not appreciate your sarcastic negative name-calling. It is unnecessary. Your proposed deletion of Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization (AIRR) Act is not a personal fight. Please don't take my challenge against your action as a challenge to YOU PERSONALLY. Please, it's only a Misplaced Pages article and I am trying to state an opposing argument. If the community deletes the article, so be it. If they keep it up, so be it. Please be respectful and civil to me, as I have been to you. I thanked you sincerely and non-sarcastically at the beginning of my comments. I will move my statement over to the articles for deletion page as you have asked me to do. Thank you. --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 14:29, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I am waiting for the final report, or at least an initial report, before putting it in an article that visible. I would also note the repeated warnings about revert wars on that page. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:31, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Calton, you should not have reinstated a challenged edit without talk page consensus, per active arbitration remedies. I have removed the content again and hereby invite you to discuss article improvement here. Politrukki (talk) 08:14, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Misplaced Pages is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Thank you.
I noticed that a message you recently left to a newcomer may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you.

I did attempt to put that mention in the main MH17 page but after a heated discussion with users like User:Ahunt an agreement that it shall be placed in "International Reactions" instead. Can you read carefully tthe last part of ] where a snowball consuensus is there? Mamasanju (talk) 14:00, 4 June 2017 (UTC) Oh since the silly edit war is ongoing, here's this:  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. Mamasanju (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2017 (UTC) Google JuiceCalton, I'm sure this sounds naive, but how does posting some random stuff on a userpage, like IOption500 did, get them "Google Juice"? I come across it sometimes, and generally delete those pages per U5, but I wish I could see the point of them. Bishonen | talk 15:59, 13 June 2017 (UTC). For a clearer clarification, here's the excerptUser:Calton In reality I added that Lord Vader mention into the MH17 main page FIRST but Ahunt removed it then I proceeded to start a discussion which ended up with a consensus on getting it to INTERNATIONAL REACTIONS instead.
