Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Misplaced Pages about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Misplaced Pages community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Misplaced Pages everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
Hello, The Anome. 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.
NHRP detaggables
So, I ended up here: User:The Anome/NHRP detaggables because of this redirect, Skeleton Cave Massacre Site. I recently created Skeleton Cave (Arizona), and when I was linking other pages to the article, I found the detaggables page. In scanning your list, I came across Work, John, House and Mill Site which I then linked to John Work House and Mill Site which has existed since 2006.
It occurred to me that there may be a number of pages already in existence, but since they are not formatted the same as what's on this page, they aren't being identified as being done. I'm trying to think on how to solve this problem. --evrik
Proposed deletion of Punk Bunny Coffee
The article Punk Bunny Coffee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article reads like an advertisement, and I can barely find any sources following the name change.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your draft article, Draft:2024 Labour Party Manifesto
Hello, The Anome. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "2024 Labour Party Manifesto".
In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 07:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of London nightclubs
Hello, The Anome
Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I edit here too, under the username Bastun, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, List of London nightclubs, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click the Publish changes button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bastun}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Support for offensive, uncited edits
The "Deftones" wiki page has just been edited to label the band as a far right, neo-Nazi group with numerous false, unsubstantiated statements about offensive racist political views. On the editor's talk page he has provided one source, which is one single person's personal blog. It's probably his own blog, to be honest. The band has zero right wing affiiation. How can we revert this page back to its original? 2604:3D08:2D7F:5700:873C:C358:12C4:2DD5 (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Deftones
The IP and NonRomanRoman were reverting badly referenced BLP violations that changed the GA status quo. I've warned the original author of the edit, Robenceic (talk · contribs). I made the same mistake when I first looked at the diffs. Acroterion (talk) 16:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- My mistake - I also got mixed up reading the diffs in my hurry to deal with what looked (erroneously) to me like a rapid-fire vandal. I've unblocked both, with suitable apologies. Thanks for catching this! — The Anome (talk) 16:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Since I made the same error, I can't be critical. See the protection history of the article. Acroterion (talk) 16:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- The diffs to and fro are a bit mind-melting. I'm not surprised we all got confused. — The Anome (talk) 16:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.89KimberlyRoad (talk) 12:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
