***CorenSearchBot did ''not'' detect your copyvio on the Brown Lady article. Unless you have a much longer and more recent history of reverting CorenSearchBot than is apparent from the contribution history of the account Jack1956, it simply makes no sense for you to claim that you were referring to the Brown Lady article (which has no bot edits in its history ) when you wrote the following: "While I accept that I did and got a Copyvio message from a bot, I removed the tag not because 'I was disguising my edits' but because ." Perhaps I wasn't clear when I said it for the first time: It is not in your best interest to lie about easily verifiable facts. | |||
***Additionally, if you want to lie without being called to account for it in ], you are indeed on the wrong talk page. I do not believe in making it easy for dishonest editors to deceive themselves about their character. You are very welcome to draw additional attention on yourself by reporting me for my "lack of civility".

*My mistake in referring to the CorenSearchBoot finding a copyvio on 'Brown Lady' - I thought that was what we were discussing and I wrongly assumed it had put a message on the article.

* Hans: May I enquire what is your rationale for evaluating Jack1956's contributions to this article as a copyvio? You say that his edits are plagiarised from an offline source; if that is so, then what text(s) specifically? Disclosure: My attention with regards to this copyvio has been solicited directly by Jack, on my talk page—though this is my first involvement in this matter. ] 20:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
**I didn't say there ''were'' any offline sources, I brought this up as a possibility that would make things much harder to check. What do you mean by "this article"? The Brown Lady article was pulled from the main page (by Future Perfect at Sunrise) before I even got involved. In my first post to this very section you can see my analysis of a copyvio in ]. The source from which Jack1956 copied was pointed out in the page history by CorenSearchBot, but for your convenience, it's . There is also ], which includes an obvious copyvio from (which of course might be a copyvio itself, but predates the Misplaced Pages article, as I have verified). I checked three of Jack1959's over 80 DYK articles and found copyvios in two of them. Obviously that's where the idea of offline sources came from. ] ] 20:11, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
**PS: There is also ], which Uncle G has identified as <s>a copyvio</s> plagiarism from a book by Oxford University Press. See ] (not my section title). ] ] 20:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
***It is not an OUP copyvio - it was taken from Answers.com . My point is that making genuine mistakes does not make me a liar or a dishonest editor. See discussion . ] (]) 20:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
****OK, Uncle G has identified it as plagiarism from that OUP book (via the web page), not as a copyvio. That would make it slightly better but still not OK at all. But I am not sure he is right. This depends on relatively fine points of American (Californian) copyright law, with which I am obviously not familiar. The fact that you didn't rephrase the extremely odd construction "was demolished in the late 1960s, and, like the Hotel Russell, stood in Russell Square" certainly gives reason to serious concern. ] ] 22:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Original research== | |||
I saw your comment about the expansion of ], but I'm not sure what you mean. How has it expanded beyond the "reasonable bounds"? <b>] ] </b> 23:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:*The most obvious example is of course Gavin Collins, see ]. I am sure he really believes his outrageous OR claims. Although he is only an outlier, it was the fundamentalism of a significant part of the community which made this possible. | |||
:*See ] for the other side of the medal. Apparently Misplaced Pages has an obligation to lie about itself if only the lies are "verifiable". This fatal ideology may have started with ]: "It is disruptive to remove statements that are sourced reliably, written in a neutral narrative, and pertain to the subject at hand." This was written carelessly, so that it labels even a consensus-based complete rewrite of a broken, rambling article disruptive unless you find a way of including every single tidbit that is marginally relevant to the topic but better replaced by something more important. This is made even worse by the fact that nowadays it's usually remembered in the form "removal of sourced information is disruptive", which many tendentious editors interpret literally, ignoring the obvious restrictions on applicability. | |||
:*Rlevse didn't invent the idea that close paraphrasing of sources is ''required''. If you don't do it you always risk getting under attack, and the attackers will never be sanctioned even if they are unreasonable. It takes independence of thought to realise that the negative feedback that you get for proper encyclopedic work and proper summarising of sources is not supposed to make you learn not to do it and plagiarise instead. That this negative feedback comes from idiots who you must ignore because you can't fight them. | |||
:*For a recent example of how this works in practice, look at the discussions on ] about the, apparently dubious, claim that the emails were published "illegally". This has gone for ages, but in the most recent episode Alex Harvey is claiming that a government report isn't good enough as a source for the illegality because some other sources use milder words, and anyway, only a court can decide this. He doesn't actually argue it wasn't illegal (because it obviously is), or that it's not relevant (because many sources use that word), but he is painting it as some form of OR, against all reason and with no consequences for himself. This the kind of tendentious editing that the science-oriented editors are facing in the climate change area all the time, and Arbcom's "solution" is to block all sides equally. Apparently Arbcom is also of the opinion that Misplaced Pages can't independently decide that publishing personal emails on a hacked website without the copyright owners' consent is illegal, or other similar questions. | |||
:*Look at ], where an otherwise very sensible Arb is defending a purely structural approach that completely ignores the sensibility or otherwise of editorial decisions. It is a famous conundrum that Misplaced Pages has no formal mechanism for ultimately resolving content disputes, yet somehow manages to get the content mostly right. What the Arbs don't seem to realise is that this is because at all levels the underlying content disputes influence the decisions about the behaviour. What we need is intelligent Arbs with common sense, who understand the content disputes and see which side (sometimes both) is being reasonable or unreasonable. Who then come to a fair decision that is informed but not at all determined by the content dispute. What we don't need is Arbs who too successfully fight against this natural inclination. Such Arbs might theoretically be good for Misplaced Pages as a community, but they are unwittingly working on the destruction of the encyclopedia as such. Their fundamentalism will make the introduction of content arbitration inevitable, sooner or later. I did not argue for a decision about content, and I did not argue for treating climate change as a special case. I argued for using common sense for ''all'' topics. | |||
:We have a vicious circle in which policies and guidelines are tuned for deciding conflicts and then applied by POV pushers to make disputes about technicalities of policy application where they would lose immediately if things were treated correctly as matters of editorial discretion and subject to consensus of editors on the facts and presentation. As a result, editorial discretion has become almost illegal in the same way and by basically the same mechanism that ] has become an invective. ] ] 11:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Hans, I take issue with your allegation that in the climate change area, Arbcom's "solution" is to block all sides equally – their disproportionate and unequal solution was to topic ban editors with a history of productive well sourced work in that specific area, and as a sort of balance to also topic ban editors with interests in other areas, whose main purpose in that specific area was to restrict the productive editors, as suggested . It's a clear endorsement by arbcom of ]ing. . . ], ] 11:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::I don't really have a good overview over the participation and dynamics in that area, especially concerning the things that happened before I really got involved. (I mostly stayed out of the topic until the topic bans made me feel obliged to get involved, but it's so stressful that I am already on a bit of a break.) I simply don't know whether what you are writing is true, although I am inclined to believe you. If it is true, then I still doubt that it was intentional. I am sure that most Arbs are pushing the project towards the abyss in very good faith. (Actually, at least one is generally pushing in the right direction.) It's important to find out why that is happening, so that we can make it stop. ] ] 12:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Right now on my watchlist, as if to demonstrate how widespread the problem is: ]. Verifiability is simply being treated as a game with no relation to the goal of writing a correct encyclopedia. ] ] 14:48, 5 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
::You write wisely. Clearly all the editors I'm discussing have shown imperfection, the question is whether imperfection should be weighed in relation to the aim of producing good article content. The current conventions tend to treat it as a game where conformity to rules of interaction are more important, but it's not an easy decision either and I'm sure the arbiters were trying to reduce the stressfulness of the topic area. Alex Harvey shows how keeping within civility guidelines can succeed, up to a point. . ], ] 17:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:BTW User:Gavin.collins has now been banned from Misplaced Pages. It seems it was some blatant copyright violations that did it finally rather than his interminable civil POV pushing. Minus times a minus is a plus I believe. ] (]) 23:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

This is just to let you know in as friendly a manner as possible that your perception of sarcasm is erronious, and countering the imagined sarcasm with genuine sarcasm demonstrates that a touch of GF would not be amiss. I am quite aware of what's being discussed at the RfA talk page, and I'm not the only one to stumble on Jimbo's page by coincidence.--] (]) 16:11, 6 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Jimbo's talk page traditionally has a function very similar to the Village Pump. It has practically the same number of watchers as ] and only about 10% less than ]. ] is of course the proper forum for changes to RfA, but it has a strong fatalist consensus that makes it very unlikely to successfully start a reform. It needs a strong impulse from outside. I am sorry you did not like the way I expressed this thought. I did not mean to offend you. Do you want me to strike or correct something? ] ] 16:23, 6 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Hallo Hans. Thank you your frank and sincere reply. There's nothing you need to strike or retract, I'm generally a ] but I can be outspoken at times and I can take any flak I get ;) However, I have indeed had some mild success in the past at drawing fragmented discussions about major issues together, and ultimately to a consensus. I'm only too well aware that not all contributions to the perennial discussions at ] are productive, but as some of our heavyweight users participate in depth there as well as on the JB page, I feel that ] is ultimately the place to be. The consensus is, like it is on the JW page, very much that the RfA system has broken down, and as a result too few editors of the right calibre are prepared to come forward and run for office. All the necessary comments have been made long ago and are now repetitive; there is no cabal, but I'm thinking of marshaling a workgroup together, so if you feel strongly about RfA, perhaps you are one of those 'strong impulses', and I would very much look forward to working together with you towards galvanising people to some real action. MfG, --] (]) 02:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
] | |||
:Jimbo has now chimed in as I had hoped, with a strong appeal to keep the discussion on topic. If this is successful, and with him now in the chair, his talk page may well indeed be the better venue after all. I have no preference where the action takes place as long as some action ''does'' takes place, and I would be quite happy to migrate. --] (]) 13:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

In the near future I may not read my talk page as frequently and reliably as I used to do. For urgent or important matters, it may be better to use email. I am actually completely inactive nowadays. If you leave a message here, don't rely on getting an answer in less than a couple of years.
I do not use "talkback" templates, and it rarely if ever makes sense to leave me such templates.
I could never see the point of the stickers I sometimes got in elementary school. Please do not embarrass me with "awards" or "barnstars" or the like.
I do not fancy non-consensual templated "WikiLove".
